Chapter 769: Chapter 788: A God-like Opponent

When do people panic the most?

It’s when their darkest secrets are exposed, their escape routes are cut off, and they’re in the middle of a business war only to find their warehouse empty and their raw materials still waiting to be harvested. That’s when they panic the most.

The moment Qian Song saw his competitor release a similar product, he started to lose his composure.

The timing was especially bad—

He had just spent a fortune on six crab ponds, buying hundreds of millions of crab fry.

If he failed again...

’This can’t happen.’

He kept failing, while Qian Xingxing, his competitor, kept succeeding... This was unacceptable!

He was anxious and irritable.

So he called Wang Nian Nian back in.

Wang Nian Nian was far more composed than he was.

After all, the results spoke for themselves: the books showed countless deposits, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. It was the first time she’d ever run a company that required so little effort.

So she couldn’t stand seeing Qian Song be so pessimistic.

’She just didn’t get it.’

"Mr. Qian, we don’t need to be so worried—"

"Look at our competitor. They’re only selling gugu meat sauce, which doesn’t overlap with our products. Besides, we were the ones who captured the market first."

As she spoke, a hint of arrogance crept into her voice. "You really can afford to relax."

"You’re very confident."

She smiled. "It’s the success of the livestream and the crab roe sauce that gives me this confidence."

"You should be more confident too, Mr. Qian," Wang Nian Nian said. "Honestly, I don’t quite understand. Are you being overly cautious? She’s just someone who was kicked out of the Qian Family... You’re the true heir."

She was trying to compliment Qian Song, but she never expected her flattery to backfire so spectacularly.

The irritable Qian Song snapped his head up. His brow furrowed and his eyes narrowed into a dark glower. "What are you trying to say? That I’m afraid of Qian Xingxing?"

"I put you in charge of the Food Appreciation Company, so have you even bothered to learn anything about this industry? Am I afraid of Qian Xingxing? Do you have any idea who our real enemy is!?"

"It’s not Qian Xingxing at all."

"Then who is it?"

"Jiang Qiuqiu."

"That chef?" Wang Nian Nian sounded dismissive. ’She’s just a chef.’

It had been almost a year. In an era where information changed at lightning speed, Jiang Qiuqiu was already a legend from the Federation’s livestreaming past.

She had switched platforms, and most of her fans had followed her to New Star, where they carved out their own new community.

Many of her fans were office workers or soldiers—mostly busy people, with few who were active in online fandoms. They were a peaceful, gentle group that gathered to enjoy the tranquility and delicious food their favorite streamer provided.

Meanwhile, the Federation’s streaming platform, with its excellent promotion, had gradually attracted a new generation of users. These newcomers were more interested in fandom culture, actively engaging on the Star Network and dominating the trending charts, which in turn propelled Master Huang to top-tier stardom.

Wang Nian Nian was originally from a neighboring planet and had only recently been transferred here. She didn’t know much about the Federation’s food scene, but Qian Song was someone who had confronted Jiang Qiuqiu head-on.

That woman was...

She was the pioneer of a niche category in the history of Federation livestreaming.

He had suffered defeat at Jiang Qiuqiu’s hands several times and had been left stunned time and time again by the amount of traffic she could generate.

When he first made this plan, his goal was to ensure a continuous supply of crab roe sauce. He wanted to lock in a portion of the die-hard fans to the Food Appreciation Factory’s brand, offer constant discounts to repeat buyers, and manufacture a conflict with the rival company.

He wanted to create a sense of ’rivalry’ between the two fanbases.

That way, his existing young fans wouldn’t buy products from the competition.

If they never tried the other products, they’d never know what they were missing, and they couldn’t be poached.

But now—

He was the one who was out of stock.

And his competitor, wasting no time, had just dropped a huge new batch of sauce.

Worse, it was made from gugu meat, an ingredient that was available everywhere. They most likely had no shortage of raw materials, and the price would be low.
