They are just a little short of the 10,000-person limit for those who have not yet signed contracts.

Liu Ziyan was curious and was about to reach out to turn on the live chat to see what was going on when a WeChat message notification popped up.

He was her friend.

[Is this the food vlogger you strongly recommended to me last time? [Image]]

Liu Ziyan had no choice but to open WeChat and glance at the photo her friend sent. It was indeed the fairy's "Don't look, you can't afford it even if you do."

"Yes, it's her. What's wrong?"

"Is this streamer's cooking super delicious? I watched her previous recordings, ahhhhh it looks amazing! I hereby declare myself a fan, I have to watch it too!"

Liu Ziyan chuckled and quickly typed a reply: "You never usually buy my recommendations, why are you so interested today?"

"Hey, didn't Shang Meng recommend this on Weibo?"

Shang Meng?

Liu Ziyan was taken aback.

At this moment, the live stream page finally appeared, and the dense barrage of comments almost flooded the entire live stream room.

"Come and take a look."

"Recommended by Meng Ge, thumbs up for the streamer!"

"Brother Meng actually won the prize! Is this a rigged contest? Let me tell you, if I were the one who won today, I would believe there was no rigged contest!"

"Tch, he's just a cook, why are you all getting so worked up?"

"Shang Meng must have taken on an ad, right? This streamer is amazing, she can even bribe Shang Meng?"

"Get out of here, upstairs! Nobody's forcing you to watch! We're just girls in the food livestreaming community making our own food, we're just enjoying our own little world, what are you fangirls doing barging in here for?"

Liu Ziyan was surprised.

Wow!

Is it really Shang Meng?

She quickly opened Weibo, clicked on Shang Meng's post, and sure enough, she saw the boastful Weibo post he had made seven days ago. She was both happy and angry.

The good news is that Shang Meng's promotion has indeed brought the young lady a lot of new fans.

What's infuriating is that this guy actually won the prize! Even I, a regular fan, didn't win! I'm so jealous!

"But if the fan culture mentality gets carried into the food livestreaming world by people who follow the trend, it will probably mess things up here..." Liu Ziyan said with some concern. "Now a lot of fans have come by following the trend, taking away a lot of the viewing spots of real food lovers."

Liu Ziyan had met Shang Meng when she worked with Lu Zhiyang.

Shang Meng was an idol actress in her early years, but later transitioned into a variety show personality.

He was a typical foodie, and Liu Ziyan had indeed heard many interesting stories about him. He loved to eat, but he was picky about food.

He rarely praises; he mostly criticizes. Whenever he eats something he doesn't like, he'll humorously complain about it on Weibo. His words may seem quirky, but every sentence pinpoints the problem precisely.

But this time, he really did lavish praise on Weibo!

"The Eight Immortals Duck with Vegetables made by the Fairy is definitely in the top three of all the ducks I've ever eaten. It's just a pity that it was frozen and then thawed and reheated, so the taste changed a bit, but you can still taste its ultimate deliciousness! I really want to try the Fairy's freshly made Eight Immortals Duck. I hope the Fairy can open a shop, and I will definitely go and support her."

Shang Meng, who is known for his discerning palate, surprisingly praised the food made by a streamer so highly. He has eaten at countless star-rated restaurants and is a true gourmet!

Liu Ziyan sighed inwardly. If she hadn't watched the entire live stream, anyone else would probably have suspected that Shang Meng had arranged an advertisement for it...

Indeed, there were quite a few doubts in the comments section. Liu Ziyan glanced at them angrily and felt even more sorry for the young lady.

Fortunately, the female streamer didn't mind.

A cheerful voice came from the live stream room.

"...Today, we're going to make a dish of raw prawns."
