Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 588 - 607: Qian Duoduo’s Humiliation

"You failed?"

Qian Xingxing nodded.

"I thought... I thought he..."

He thought a person like Qian Duoduo would lose all his supporters once his true colors were revealed. He thought that if he just told the shareholders the truth about him, they would stand firmly by his side.

But he was wrong.

"At that shareholders’ meeting... maybe someone I contacted was one of his spies. He found out about my plan."

And after Qian Duoduo found out, he didn’t let on. He secretly contacted the few trump cards Qian Xingxing had left. "At first, I didn’t know what methods Qian Duoduo used, but all of them turned against me."

"Even knowing what kind of person he was, they still chose him to be at the helm."

After his plan was exposed, what little father-son affection remained between Qian Xingxing and Qian Duoduo was completely gone.

"I was too reckless. Before all this, I had thought about waiting a few more years..."

"So the people at the branch office were transferred?"

"Yes, after that, the people here slowly left." After all, the employees were under the jurisdiction of the Federation Live Broadcast Company, and Qian Duoduo was their real boss.

Qian Xingxing looked around the empty office. "It wasn’t just the company staff. Most of the streamers left too."

After failing to seize the CEO position, Qian Xingxing had considered selling all the shares he held. His plan was to then take over the branch office and use it as a starting point—

He would take all the streamers he had personally signed, along with other promising ones he had his eye on, and start his own company to slowly compete with the Federation Live Broadcast Company.

But soon, he was dealt a crushing blow.

The employees all left, ignoring his pleas to stay.

Before they left, someone he was on good terms with quietly told him, "Management said we can’t stay here. If we do, we’ll be fired immediately and blacklisted from the industry."

"Little President Qian, we all have families to support, with parents and children depending on us..."

Everyone has their own difficulties, so they left.

If the employees’ departure was merely a source of frustration for Qian Xingxing, then the streamers he had personally built up from nothing announcing they were transferring to another manager was a fatal blow.

"I was the one who scouted all of them."

Back then, Little President Qian was still the carefree son of the wealthiest man, young, energetic, and full of ambition.

Instead of going out to party and squander his money, he spent his time hunched over the Federation Live Broadcast app and various other platforms, watching newly registered users.

He watched them one by one, vetted them one by one, plucking lotuses from the murky sludge of a complex environment. He poured his heart into nurturing them, tending to them little by little...

But just as they had finally blossomed, the flowers were plucked by someone else.

"They’re all gone. No employees, no streamers. I’ve already lost."

"I’m completely lost now..."

Just yesterday, Qian Duoduo even made a special trip to the branch office.

He told Qian Xingxing to his face that this was the first lesson he was teaching him: don’t think you’re so powerful. Without the Qian Family, you’re nothing.

Yesterday, he did everything he could to belittle Qian Xingxing’s dreams.

"Xingxing, ever since you were a child, you’ve had such ’lofty ambitions.’ You wanted to do so many things, to be a savior. I can understand a five-year-old thinking that way, but I can’t understand why you still think that way at fifteen, twenty-five, and even thirty-five. You think you’re smart? No, you’re a fool. From any angle, you are not a qualified leader."

"You reek of foolish benevolence. Trying to win over the shareholders without offering them any benefits, trying to take my power away? You think you can mobilize these people with just a few words, a few platitudes like ’we’re going to build the best live-streaming company’?"

"You’re too naive."

"You and your dreams are both naive and foolish."

Qian Xingxing almost hit Qian Duoduo right then and there.
