[My goodness, this banquet was so grand! It was broadcast live the whole time, and so many young faces I'd never seen before appeared!]
[Yes, in previous years these families only sent one or two people to the banquet, right?] cascoo.net
[Holy crap! The Federation is here too! They sent people to participate as well!]
[Hmm—this person looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.]
[Was that our president's son who just passed by? A very famous and promising young man; your empire must recognize him.]
No, I think... he looks familiar because...
Ah, it brings back some unpleasant sensory memories...
Julian disembarked from the starship and walked onto the red carpet in front of the palace where the banquet was being held. His steps were steady, and his smile was just right—any more and it would have seemed obsequious, any less and it would have seemed serious.
"Young master, your performance was perfect."
Following behind him was his father's secretary, who quietly commented on Julian's performance.
"Of course."
Julian's eyes were filled with joy at receiving the praise. Secretary Joan was his father's most capable assistant, and this affirmation was very important to him.
Moreover, this was the first time he had attended such an important occasion in place of his father, and he was a little nervous just now.
While observing all of Julian's reactions, Joan also received a brief overview of the live online commentary about Julian from her AI.
The comments about their young master are somewhat influenced by his previous game streaming, but these are just minor setbacks on his path to growth. As he gradually comes into the public eye, he should learn to handle all of this...
Julian's walk across the red carpet signified the completion of the Federation delegation's participation for the day, but behind them, numerous starships were still lined up, suggesting that another group was about to make their appearance.
Wow!! Hualanxing!! Is the Hualanxing delegation this big this year?!
The broadcast footage included advance notes and explanations for the people who would appear later, and the live chat quickly exploded with comments.
【Meiqiu!!! !!! 】
[Holy crap! Mei Qiu is representing Hua Lan Xing at the event?!]
General Mei Qiu has returned to Hua Lan Star?!
[Holy crap? The Minister of Security for the Hualan Star Region?! Is this General Mei Qiu's new position?]
[And what's with the "general" nonsense? He's called "Minister Mei" now, understand? He's not even a member of the Empire anymore, why are you all getting so worked up?]
Hey! What's it to you upstairs? Let them get excited!
Just as everyone was discussing Mei Qiu, the first person from the Hua Lan Star Region to appear, and the barrage of comments exploded, everyone saw that Mei Qiu did not immediately walk onto the red carpet after getting off the starship, but stood in place waiting, her eyes fixed on the open hatch.
Everyone: [?]
The next second, a doting smile appeared on Mei Qiu's face as she reached out her hand towards the starship's hatch. The moment she led a girl in a light blue fishtail dress out of the starship, the live stream screen went blank and paused for more than a minute.
Then it experienced another geometric explosion in growth!
[A mysterious businessman?! Have I broken through the dimensional barrier?]
【No no no!! Ahhhhh! My language center is malfunctioning! Help!】
[Holy crap! Who is this?!]
[Who is General Mei Qiu's female companion?!]
[Idiots! Look at the note in the bottom right corner, that's General Mei Qiu's sister! What are you all getting so worked up about?]
Is the mysterious businesswoman General Mei Qiu's sister?
【What? What mysterious businessman? What are you talking about?】
Hey! Why are you calling me General Mei Qiu? Call me brother! Brother! My brother-in-law is right here, look at me!
[Good heavens! You've already set your sights on that guy's sister? You beasts!]
...
Mingmei looked at the 360° live streaming equipment surrounding her, which resembled little bees, and the polite, friendly smile she wanted to give disappeared due to nervousness.
She knew that although there were only a few dozen shots in front of her, behind these shots were tens or hundreds of billions of interstellar viewers!
Socially awkward, lazy bum is trembling with fear!
So when the brother and sister walked down the red carpet, everyone noticed that they were two extremes.
Mei Qiu exudes a gentle and refreshing aura. When you meet his gaze in his affectionate peach blossom eyes, you can almost drown anyone who looks into his eyes.
I wonder how many viewers watching the live stream momentarily turned off the comments, took a screenshot, and made this man one of the protagonists of their nighttime fantasies.
Then the younger sister next to her... was completely the opposite.
Her jet-black hair and snow-white skin, along with her exquisitely beautiful features, were stunning at first glance. However, once people noticed the chilling aura emanating from her, they instinctively wanted to avert their gaze, fearing they might get frostbite.
Even so, many people are still bold and fearless, still wanting to see Mingmei clearly from head to toe through the lens, but in the end, they all give up when they meet her eyes.
Looking into Mingmei's large, unwavering eyes is like gazing into an endless desert, devoid of life, emotion, and hope.
Even the most cheerful person might feel like they're about to become depressed if they look at it too much.
[Emmm no, she just looks like the businesswoman. My businesswoman is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, this one...]
[Does this person seem heartless?]
