Mu Jinghang stared at the man beside him and said, “Third bro, Yi Shiqiong also has this many fans?”
Jun Yexuan chuckled, “Don’t you know the word, ‘extras’?”
Mu Jinghang slapped his own forehead, “No wonder! That’s why I thought they all looked similar in age and are all rather similar looking. They got so many people to come! That girl sure is doing everything she can so she doesn’t look bad in front of my sister-in-law!”
Qi Yuyang on the side slammed the table, “You aren’t allowed to call my little sister that!”
Mu Jinghang, “…”
Not only did the MC and the boys see through this, but the media reporters also noticed this. They all exchanged glances and discussed, “How come Feng Ci’s fans are of diverse demographic but Yi Shiqiong only has young girl fans?”
Someone else said, “I find that strange as well.”
A female reporter chimed in, “Look over here, all of Feng Ci fans are over the moon for meeting Feng Ci. They’re asking for selfies and signatures. They are even giving away gifts.”
“Look at Yi Shiqiong’s side. Her fans seem so aloof. It’s like they’re just completing a mission.”
Someone else shouted, “Look over there! Feng Ci even got fans with a beer belly and a balding head! There are also uncles in suits!”
“Based on what they’re wearing, they must be businessmen.”
“I’ve reported on a lot of author’s meets and greets, but I’ve never seen one author who’s got enough influence to get business execs here. There are also so many of them!”
“Feng Ci lives up to her reputation!”
Yi Shiqiong overheard what everyone had got to say. She almost couldn’t sustain her smile.
Especially since these people she hired were not doing a great job. They were doing such a bad job acting it felt like she was the one pressing her warm cheek against their cold butts!
She looked over to Qiao Qing’s side and saw how enthusiastic her fans were. She was so jealous her heart was going nuts!
Her editor, Guo Yunxia, was also looking uglier than usual. After witnessing this for a while, she entered the resting area.
When she passed by Sun Jing, Sun Jing smiled at her, “Editor Guo? What? You’re running away already?”
Guo Yunxia arched her brows and glared her down. Without a word, she left.
The meet and greet went on for another hour. Then, the MC said, “Alright, it’s time for a break. Our beautiful authors, please rest. Don’t overwork.”
Just then, Yi Shiqiong went to her resting room looking depressed.
After she shut the door, she looked over to Guo Yunxia, “Editor Guo, why did you only invite young girls to this?”
Guo Yunxia wasn’t going to take this, “Your readers are mostly teenage girls anyway. Plus, you had such a little budget but so many requirements. I only had enough cash to pay for these young girls.”
Yi Shiqiong was choked up, “Then they should at least be professional. Some of them greeted me like I owed them money. No fans would act like that in front of their idol.”
Guo Yunxia simply said, “I got the people to come. What more do you want?”
Afterward, she felt like she was being harsh so she softened up, “You are still great. At least the greatest out of the people who’ve worked for me. It’s because this is Feng Ci’s first event, that’s why she got so many people.”
“Since they are now comparing the demographic of the fans, do you know anyone who has power or influence? Someone well-known in the literature industry?”
Yi Shiqiong thought about it, “I know someone.”
Since Yi Shiqiong went into the resting room, Qiao Qing didn’t go.
After 20 minutes, Yi Shiqiong and Guo Yunxia both walked out. Neither of them looked as ugly as before.
Under the MC’s lead, a new round of signing began.
After around half an hour, someone entered the building.
