Chapter 521: Announcement to the Public
Accompanied by her fans, friends and mother, Liu Lan went through the birthday process again - making a wish in front of the birthday cake, blowing out the candles and eating the cake.
Even though Liu Lan had eaten her fill at Yu Zhan's, she still ate a piece. This was because Tao Zhiyao ordered an ice cream cake, which had a different texture from fondant cakes, but was equally delicious. Even Jiang Chengfeng, who didn't like sweets, ate two pieces, saying that he was afraid the ice cream would melt after being left out for too long.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also very greedy when they saw everyone eating with gusto.
"Shit, it's winter, late at night, and I want to eat ice cream."
"Brother Jiang, please eat less. It's so cold that it will cool your stomach."
"I'm so disappointed. This brand of ice cream cake is so expensive and hard to order. Last year, on my birthday, I went to order it a month in advance, but the store said no."
"I guess Sister Taozi has a way."
"I really want to see what the daughter of a wealthy family looks like, but unfortunately she deliberately avoids walking towards the camera."
…
...
...
The camera used for the live broadcast was placed by Tao Zhiyao. She knew where the blind spots were. Even if everyone was sitting at the dining table and starting to eat cake, the audience could see other people's faces but could only see the cuffs of Tao Zhiyao's shirt.
"Am I the only one who thinks Liu Man's mother is so charming?"
"I've noticed it a long time ago. Auntie's short hair is very eye-catching."
"So genes are very important. Only if the mother is good-looking can the daughter be so good-looking!"
…
Liu Man smiled and said to Zhang Pei, "Mom, the audience is talking about you."
Zhang Pei said in surprise, "What can an old woman like me say?" She turned around and looked at the projection screen. When the fans saw her looking at her, their messages became even more joyful.
"Auntie, you are not an old woman."
"If all old ladies were like you, there would be so many sister-brother relationships."
"When you are with the 'young ladies', you look like a young lady too!"
"Auntie, you have a good taste in clothes. Did Liu Lan help you pick out the clothes?"
…
This was Zhang Pei's first time in a live broadcast room. Although she couldn't see the faces of the audience, she felt a sense of novelty and couldn't help laughing when she saw them leaving messages to her. These young people really know how to talk.
"Would you like to say a few words to everyone?" Liu Lan said.
Sun Weiwei also said, "Yes, Aunt Zhang, you are now the protagonist of the live broadcast room."
"But what can I say?" Zhang Pei was a little scared.
She manages thirty to forty people and has to hold two meetings a week. Her eloquence has been honed and she is no longer timid and afraid to speak like she was when she was a housewife. But now she is facing millions of fans and being stared at by millions of eyes. Not everyone can handle it.
"Anything will do."
"Don't be nervous, Auntie. We all got here this way."
“You can’t see real people in live broadcasts, so just treat your fans as numbers.”
…
Zhang Pei was encouraged by everyone and gained courage. She prepared her words for a while, then stood up, faced the camera and said to all the fans, "Hello, I am Zhang Pei, the mother of Liu Man. I am very happy to be in this live broadcast room on my daughter's birthday. People of my age should be doing square dance in the community, playing mahjong with peers, or chatting with neighbors. A year ago, I was such a person. I rarely came into contact with such a trendy thing as live broadcasting, and my thinking could not keep up with you young people. I didn't dare to think that I would speak to millions of people one day. My daughter has opened the door to a new world for me."
