Chapter 94 Is Ji Zhi Qiu the Evil Orange Head? ...
These people making strange statements all come from the same group: the family of Evil Orange.
[Youyou: This is infuriating! Have they no shame? I've never seen a plagiarist turn around and accuse me like this before!]
[Pumpkin: I'm the number one female fighter in Zaun, a master of arguing. If it weren't for Orange Head's pseudonym, I would have already joined the fray!]
[When will we get paid?: Don't be angry, everyone. Actually, this is easy to solve. Orange Head and Qiuqiu are the same person.]
[Pumpkin: This is where things go wrong. The most direct way to clarify the rumors is for Qiuqiu to claim the alias "Orange Head," but that would reveal his real identity to the platform.]
[Where is the Dream: Yeah, the platform will definitely haunt him like a ghost. There might even be many harsh clauses in the contract, hindering his participation in variety shows.]
[Youyou: Back then, when he was suppressed by the platform, we could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. Fortunately, Orange Head proved himself and did even better, fulfilling his promises to us. Now that he's causing this kind of trouble again, I don't want to be as pathetic as I was back then.]
[Best Sheep: Yes, we are his family. Even for the sake of his three babies, we can't let them experience the darkness of the world so early.]
They are Ji Zhi Qiu's fans, who help increase the popularity of her live streams. With their support, Ji Zhi Qiu was able to stand out and win the title of Newcomer Anchor of the Year, thus gaining more opportunities to be seen. They are crucial people to Ji Zhi Qiu, but in return, Ji Zhi Qiu also provides them with a lot of companionship.
While watching the live stream, their lives continued, filled with many trivial matters, and they might be going through important stages in their lives, overcoming difficulties. Ji Zhi Qiu's live stream was something that allowed them to relax, providing laughter and joy. As an extension of their lives, they also placed a lot of emotions on Ji Zhi Qiu.
They help and accompany each other, like family. Moreover, Ji Zhi Qiu has three children. They watch the three children grow up like elders, laugh with them, and have an instinctive love to protect them.
When Ji Zhi Qiu was suppressed by the platform and unable to stream, they realized the seriousness of the problem and wanted to fight for Ji Zhi Qiu's rights. However, Ji Zhi Qiu was in a very unpopular category and was just a small streamer with no potential in the eyes of the platform. Their protests were silenced by the cold silence.
They were very disappointed at the time, thinking they would never see Ji Zhi Qiu again. Unexpectedly, Ji Zhi Qiu was smarter and more ambitious than they thought. She turned around and went to a bigger platform. As an ordinary person with zero starting point and zero support, she quickly stood out and gained a lot of attention and love.
They were genuinely happy for Ji Zhi Qiu and truly cared about him.
This is a crucial stage in his career, and he absolutely cannot let the platform interfere. So even though his family members recognized Ji Zhi Qiu, they helped him firmly suppress the "Evil Orange Head" alias, wanting to protect him until he had enough resources and strength to have a fair showdown with the platform and safeguard his rights.
Unexpectedly, a clown jumped out halfway through.
Even though Ji Zhi Qiu has stopped streaming, they still habitually browse the "Raising Kids" section. They had already seen the small streamer "Evil Big Potato" who, taking advantage of Ji Zhi Qiu's hiatus, acted recklessly and applied almost all of Ji Zhi Qiu's personas to himself.
They were so angry they rolled their eyes, but they had gritted their teeth and endured it for so long for Ji Zhi Qiu's sake. They never expected that this little streamer would have the courage to bite back at Ji Zhi Qiu!
This matter is very easy to solve. As long as Ji Zhi Qiu acknowledges the alias "Evil Orange Head," this small streamer will not only dare not act up again, but will also suffer a backlash. But the key to the problem lies here.
They were worried about Ji Zhi Qiu and were waiting for her decision.
...
At this very moment, Ji Zhi Qiu and Lu Yu Nian, two people in the know, were outside in the cold wind.
Ji Zhi Qiu was numb, expressionless, and it was impossible to tell his emotions at that moment.
Lu Yu Nian paused for a moment and asked, "I will support whatever you want to do."
Lu Yu Nian always gave him an indescribable sense of security, like a knight protecting him. Ji Zhi Qiu made up his mind and was about to speak his plans when his phone rang again, interrupting him.
It wasn't Jiang Mingchuan, but the program's director.
Ji Zhi Qiu is a guest on the variety show "Children's Choice". The sudden exposure of such a big scandal will also affect the reputation of the show. Ji Zhi Qiu feels that the director came to question her.
He cleared his throat and calmly answered the phone.
He thought he was about to face the director's fury, but the director was even calmer than him. "Did you see the trending topics?"
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded. "I saw it. What are your thoughts, Director?"
The director said in a deep voice, "Before calling you, I watched as many clips of that small-time streamer's live broadcast as possible to try to understand the whole picture."
"Although your personas are strikingly similar, your performance is on a completely different level from his, and the way you interact and the details are also completely different. So I dare to assert that all the segments on the variety show are unique to you and could not possibly be imitations."
Ji Zhi Qiu was stunned. He hadn't expected that the director had already chosen to stand on his side before even making the phone call.
"I trust my judgment and I didn't misjudge you, but this coincidence is really too strange. There may be something going on behind it. I need you to give me an answer."
Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then asked, "If this answer doesn't satisfy you, will I still be in the recording of the final episode?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then the director's voice suddenly became tinged with amusement, even a little relaxed, "The variety show is very popular. It just went viral on Weibo and became a trending topic. As before, the four groups of guests will remain the same."
Ji Zhi Qiu understood the director's subtext, and a warm feeling seemed to flow through her heart, but she also felt inexplicably bittersweet.
Unexpectedly, not only did Jiang Mingchuan, who had been heartbroken by him after four years of separation, choose to support him unconditionally, but even the director, who was only a collaborator with him, did not give up on him and gave him another chance.
Before this, Ji Zhi Qiu had made a decision, but he was still somewhat anxious and hesitant. Only now did he truly realize that he was not fighting alone. There were countless hands behind him pushing him back. He would not fall off the platform, and he would never let these people down.
"Director, did you watch the live broadcast just now?"
"Is it that evil big potato? I saw it. Some of his remarks are indeed infuriating, but you don't need to take them to heart."
"Did you see the end? He mentioned a streamer—Evil Orange Head."
The director's tone immediately rose, "Of course I noticed! The two IDs are very similar, it seems there's some connection between them, but that streamer isn't very famous and has long since retired from the industry. I just searched and couldn't find any information about him."
Ji Zhi Qiu hadn't used this name in a long time, and hearing it from someone else's mouth now felt especially warm. "The timeline is indeed the strongest evidence. The other party started broadcasting a few days earlier than the variety show recording. But Evil Orange was the first one. If he hadn't had a dispute with the platform and been forced to stop broadcasting, this streamer wouldn't have dared to imitate so recklessly."
"You mean this 'Evil Potato' isn't clean himself, plagiarizing another streamer?!" The director's emotions became agitated, but he quickly calmed down. "In that case, although he has no right to accuse you, you're still caught in the vortex of public opinion. Even if you manage to get through it safely, it will still be brought up from time to time..."
As he said this, he suddenly realized something, and his voice trembled.
Ji Zhi Qiu smiled and said, "I did a live stream for a long time before recording the variety show. My ID was 'Evil Orange Head'."
****
The streamer started broadcasting while in the eye of the storm, just to make money and gain popularity. Unexpectedly, after mentioning the name "Evil Orange Head", the streamer's face turned extremely ugly. He was so regretful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall and couldn't even broadcast normally. He was saying the same thing one second, but the next second the live broadcast room was plunged into darkness.
This unusual behavior was practically suspicious, and the phrase "evil orange head" became a hot topic, instantly trending on social media.
The more people involved, the more lively it becomes, with bystanders and those just looking for fun all jumping in and digging into the details.
However, raising virtual pets is a very niche category, and "Evil Orange Head" has been off-air for a long time, with almost no news about him online. His former fans have not resurfaced despite repeated calls, probably because they have all left. In the end, netizens went to great lengths to dig out that he had once won the Newcomer of the Year award, and apparently had some conflicts with other streamers because of it. They followed the clues to find the streamer with whom he had conflicts, and finally found a clip of "Evil Orange Head" from his past videos.
They finally understood the origin of the ID. The streamer in the video was using the platform's built-in orange head effect, only showing a pair of eyes and a mouth, without even a nostril.
With his three children out, he finally had a chance to relax. He drank beer and ate potato chips while a gory horror movie unsuitable for children was playing on TV. Despite it being the most ordinary scene, he almost burst into tears.
Hearing the child's voice when he returned, he jumped barefoot into the bedroom with snacks in hand. Everyone saw their past selves reflected in him, an image so abstract it was boundless.
His child finally returned, and the streamer panicked so much that he stood at attention and gave his eldest son a guilty smile.
His eldest son is named Zishen.
"..." Is this just a coincidence?!
Not only that, the host's voice was so familiar that it seemed to have echoed in their ears eight hundred times; they could hear it immediately as soon as they clicked on the children's variety show "All the Way Together".
!! !! !!
No way, could this be...?
Holy crap, the biggest scandal of the year has been born!
...
Just then, the director had already helped set up the live broadcast room, and Ji Zhi Qiu started broadcasting without warning.
He was already riding high on his popularity and caught in the eye of a media storm. People who clicked into his live stream spread the word, and in just a few minutes, the number of viewers online surged to a terrifying number.
Everyone wanted to know how Ji Zhi Qiu would clarify this matter. Would he use the same old fake crying, or would he earnestly beg everyone not to unfollow him? But contrary to expectations, Ji Zhi Qiu did not appear. Instead, he appeared with an orange head filter.
Confused netizens: ? ? ? What's going on here?
This was Ji Zhi Qiu's first time making a clarification, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. His brain was racing, trying to think of what to say next, but when he looked at himself on the screen, he suddenly relaxed and returned to his comfort zone.
He adjusted his posture, turned his head from side to side to look at the orange-haired man on the screen, and muttered to himself, "This look is definitely the best for live streaming."
Only a small number of surfers saw the video; most netizens are still unaware of it.
[What is this for? Is it because you're too ashamed to show your face, so you added special effects?]
Stop with the abstract stuff! Everything you do is fake, you're just copying others!! *eye roll*
What's going on here? Is this some kind of cosplay of a concubine who went mad in the cold palace?
[Waaaaah, Orange Head, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!]
Ji Zhi Qiu greeted everyone with a smile, "Using this special effect today wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; there are some things I need to explain to everyone."
Everyone caught the key words and their hearts were in their throats. Major media outlets and public accounts immediately crowded into the live broadcast room, trying to get first-hand information.
"Let me tell you about my background. I participated in the variety show as an ordinary person. Nobody knows what I did before."
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "Before recording the live stream, I was a contracted streamer on a platform. In the 'Raising Kids' category, my ID was 'Evil Orange Head'."
At this point, those with keen intuition had already sensed something was wrong and typed a string of exclamation marks in the live stream chat.
Ji Zhi Qiu smiled and continued, "If the timeline is the strongest evidence, then I am the first one. After I stopped broadcasting, that streamer named Evil Big Potato signed a contract and started broadcasting."
Ji Zhi Qiu shrugged. "Without the live stream, I can't just starve. Besides, I still have three kids to raise. Luckily, the children's variety show was about to start, and I was invited. You all know what happened after that."
Like a stone thrown into still water, Ji Zhi Qiu's words caused a huge stir. Most of the clarification live streams used official jargon and were vague. None of them addressed the issues as directly as Ji Zhi Qiu, who conveyed a wealth of information in just a few words. All the online viewers were engaged in a frenzy of brainstorming.
[I get it! Evil Big Potato is imitating Evil Orange Head, and Ji Zhi Qiu is Evil Orange Head himself!]
[Hahaha, isn't this embarrassing!]
The most embarrassed person should be Lin Jinchao, who personally went to guide the team, only to end up looking foolish and embarrassed.
No wonder Ji Zhi Qiu was so expressive and at ease; he had prior experience with live streaming.
[If your performance on variety shows is this abstract, then what about your own live stream...? Don't get any closer, your orange-head is practically shoving in my face!]
The comments scrolled by incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone. Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes were sore from watching so much that she could barely make out a few of them.
"The orange head effect is so good, don't you guys like it?"
"Why use the evil orange head effect? Because I'm ugly."
"My appearance doesn't match my abstract image at all. For example, my voice has never changed, but when I use special effects, you all stop praising my voice!"
Netizens: "..." That's really true.
Ji Zhi Qiu's good looks are his biggest asset. Even if he sits motionless in front of the camera, people will still watch him. If he's sweet-talking or cleverly asks for some gifts, he'll do very well and might even become a famous streamer.
Yet he chose to stay in such a niche area as raising fans, complete with special effects to cover his face completely, demonstrating the pure nature of his relationship with them. This reveals his character and aspirations.
[I'm a voice enthusiast, and I love Qiuqiu's voice the most, but with this effect on... how should I put it, the voice has a bit of an orange flavor, lol]
Those who say Qiuqiu is opportunistic and profiting from others should be punished; he's clearly just genuinely in love!
[Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen someone's good looks prevent them from doing abstract art. But when I watch variety shows, I do feel like I'm having a split personality; on one hand, I think he's so handsome, and on the other hand, I think he's so abstract, it's all so out of place...]
[Finally! I was afraid to say it before, for fear that Qiuqiu would be exposed!!]
Ji Zhi Qiu caught a keyword while reading the bullet comments, immediately opened the backend, found the ID, and his eyes lit up.
"Youyou, I remember you. It's been a long time. We've met again in the live stream."
No one expected Ji Zhi Qiu to do this. He is currently extremely popular and in high demand, and he rarely interacts with people. No one expected that he would actually call out the names of his fans.
This is not just a coincidence; there are more and more strange comments in the live chat.
[Ahhhhh, we've finally waited for you! The evil orange head hairstyle is back!]
[Family members are here; demons and monsters, shun at once!]
[That's the taste! You know how much I miss your orange-haired look when I see your handsome face, lol.]
[Finally, we can interact! Do you know how much I've been holding back these past two months? Oh my god, are these two Yu Nian the same person? What are they doing on the show? *winks*
Ji Zhi Qiu blushed, choked on his saliva and coughed, his guilty gaze darting around. "Pumpkin, please forgive me this time, for the sake of our already heavy heads. Let me catch my breath first."
“I know you’re a girl, and I can’t say that girls have big heads, but this pumpkin is definitely big. You’ve forgotten that time when we were making a jack-o’-lantern, the three kids put the pumpkin on their heads, and one of them couldn’t get it off. I was so worried that I almost called the police.”
Ji Zhi Qiu never forces Zai Zai to do a live stream with him just for the sake of the effect. Sometimes he would sit alone in the live stream room and chat with everyone like a friend. This is a very common thing among them, but it is simply a fantasy between fans and celebrities. Even fans of other groups who hate Ji Zhi Qiu shed tears when they saw this.
Although Ji Zhi Qiu is no longer the young live streamer she once was, their way of getting along remains the same—they are still family, always there for each other.
The live stream lasted only an hour, and Ji Zhi Qiu waved goodbye as everyone reluctantly said goodbye.
Although the time was short, the amount of information was enormous. Many netizens who received the news late could only sigh as they watched the live stream being shut down, urging the entertainment account to quickly organize the information.
The related keywords trended on social media, and Ji Zhi Qiu achieved the record for the fastest clarification.
#Ji Zhi Qiu is an evil orange head#
#Ji Zhi Qiu's timeline is the most compelling evidence#
#The Path Ji Zhi Qiu Came From#
...
The biggest scandal of the year has emerged, and people are still surfing the internet hoping to find more live stream clips, but smart people have already adopted another strategy.
Ji Zhi Qiu mentioned several IDs during the interaction, which were compiled into a list, causing a great stir in the super topic group, with everyone trying various ways to send out invitations.
[Welcome Pumpkin and Ms. Youyou to our super topic! We are fully prepared and will give you the grandest welcome!]
Pumpkin and Ms. Youyou, hurry up and say hi! Don't be so ungrateful and force me to kneel down and beg you, sob sob.
Come on, come on, the sunflower seeds and soda are ready!
Click on the super topic, and the scale is even bigger.
Welcome to the world's best Pumpkin Lady!
Welcome to the world's best Yoyo!
Welcome to the best family in the world!
These three sentences kept flooding the screen, and the two, who were suddenly called out, were flattered and couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
[Pumpkin: Hello everyone, cat paw jpg]
[Youyou: Hi everyone, I've actually been lurking in the super topic for a long time.]
Her level is listed after her ID, which shows she's definitely a die-hard fan.
The moment they appeared, they were immediately surrounded, and the number of comments below them skyrocketed, almost reaching the popularity of stars who starred in web dramas.
[Make way, everyone, I'll go first. Front row photo.]
[I'm here to join this family. From now on, pumpkin will be my favorite vegetable. *heart emoji*]
Wow, you've been lurking for so long, how could you resist answering our questions?!
[Yes, yes, what was that pumpkin lantern incident we were talking about in the live stream? I heard someone even got their head stuck! Which kid was it?!]
[Please give me some, please give me some! My child is starving. (Image of an empty bowl)]
The person who posted this comment is a long-time fan who has come to terms with reality.
Whether you're a long-time fan or a new fan, you're all greenhorns in front of the evil orange-headed family!
In the first episode, she accidentally clicked into the live stream and felt like she had discovered a treasure. She didn't miss a minute and was just waiting to see how confused everyone would be in the second episode, so she could explain it to them.
I never imagined that they were the ones who needed to be educated on science.
Ji Zishen suddenly learned to cook?!
Ji Sicheng inexplicably became a child prodigy?!
Ji Yanyan is the only one who treats them the best, always the same, a well-behaved angel.
Now that they've finally found the missing parts, both longtime and new fans are incredibly excited and already imagining what's to come.
[My three kids are all so well-behaved and sensible; I can't even imagine how happy Qiuqiu's life must be in private!]
[Given Ji Zhi Qiu's personality, I bet he's just lazing around like a couch potato every day.]
This is so awesome! Are there any live stream clips? I'll use them as material for my dreams tonight.
The previously enthusiastic Youyou and Pumpkin suddenly fell silent. Everyone thought they had gone offline, and just as they were about to panic, another comment popped up.
[Pumpkin: This might not be what you imagine, so be prepared. *gasps out* (image)]
[Youyou: All three kids are rather mischievous, especially Yan Yan!]
New fan: ? ? ?
Long-time fan: ? ? ?
Can there still be an evil orange head?!
