The manager froze, unable to respond in time as the live stream comments exploded with activity. The viewers had heard the entire conversation between him and the delivery man.
[So Zhou Qingyu really did buy breakfast for the staff!]
[Shouldn’t Ye’s fans come out and apologize? Zhou Qingyu kindly bought breakfast for the staff, and you all tried to slander her by saying she bought knockoffs?]
[Laughing so hard, Zhou Qingyu didn’t even clear things up herself, yet it’s in Ye Luoyi’s live stream where the truth is revealed!]
[Even if she didn’t buy knockoffs, so what? Zhou Bitch bullies other actresses in the same drama, has an affair and ruins other people’s relationships, and has ruined so many roles! How can someone with such bad character have fans?]
[You get the same kind of food as the person you support. With Zhou Bitch’s attitude, can you expect her fans to have any standards?]
[Isn’t anyone curious? They say Yan Shan Ju doesn’t offer delivery, so why is Zhou Bitch getting special treatment? There’s definitely something fishy going on!]
Su Lingling also found it strange. They were both from wealthy families, so why couldn’t she order delivery, but Zhou Qingyu could?
Su Lingling had never liked Zhou Qingyu. Back in school, they attended the same one, and Zhou Qingyu had once taken the spot of the lead cellist in the school orchestra, which had greatly annoyed Su Lingling.
Later, when Su Lingling got to know Ye Luoyi, she found out that Zhou Qingyu had interfered with Ye Luoyi’s relationship with Pei Yubai, which only deepened Su Lingling’s dislike for her.
The Zhou family was rich, but the Su family wasn’t lacking in wealth either. Why did Zhou Qingyu, the eldest daughter Zhou, get privileges that Su Lingling, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, didn’t?
Su Lingling sharply questioned the manager, who appeared confused and didn’t understand how they knew about the food delivery to Zhou Qingyu. But when he saw the cameras behind Su Lingling, he suddenly realized that, because of the show, everyone was now aware that Yan Shan Ju had delivered food to Zhou Qingyu.
“You must give me a reason!” Su Lingling pressed, her voice sharp, “Why do you deliver food to Zhou Qingyu and not to me? Is it just because she paid more? Whatever she paid, I’ll pay double!”
The manager opened his mouth to respond, but then stammered, “She… didn’t pay.”
Su Lingling was so furious that she almost laughed, “Then why are you giving Zhou Qingyu special treatment? This isn’t fair!”
The manager paused, thinking for a moment before answering sincerely, “Because she’s the boss. If we don’t deliver, she’ll fire me.”
Su Lingling: ?
Ye Luoyi: ?
Su Lingling swallowed hard, casting a glance at the Yan Shan Ju logo. “Is this Zhou’s family’s business?”
The manager smiled, “Of course.”
The Zhou family, the richest in Haicheng, had a vast business empire spanning across domestic and international markets. For example, the Hongrui Mall that Zhou Qingyu had visited with Yan Xi yesterday was a property of the Zhou family. Similarly, the luxurious villas where Su Lingling and Ye Luoyi resided were also developed by the Zhou family.
Among the many sectors in the Zhou family’s empire—such as commercial districts, real estate, and hotel projects—small businesses like Yan Shan Ju were insignificant. It was likely just a casual investment by someone in the Zhou family, a trivial venture.
Additionally, since Yan Shan Ju had only recently opened and had few visitors, very few knew about its owner.
Su Lingling realized this and fell silent.
However, the viewers watching the livestream didn’t hold back. Especially the bystanders, who were amused by the sudden turn of events and found it incredibly entertaining.
[So Zhou Qingyu is actually the boss behind Yan Shan Ju?!]
[Wait, she’s literally part of Haicheng’s wealthiest family? And we’ve been talking trash about her for no reason?]
[Omg, so the “no delivery” policy only applies to us and not her?! That’s hilarious!]
[Look at Su Lingling and Ye Luoyi’s faces, they must be choking on their own pride right now.]
[I can’t believe they tried to throw shade at her! And it turns out she’s basically untouchable!]]
[Ye fans were mocking Zhou Qingyu for having privileges, but what privileges? The manager just didn’t want to get fired!]
[Here’s a joke: The boss asks their employee to deliver food to themselves, and the customer objects!]
[Su Lingling said she’d pay double? Why not just buy Yan Shan Ju with that money? Oh, what’s the matter, no more talking? Could it be because you don’t have enough money?]
[Zhou Qingyu is actually the owner of Yan Shan Ju? I didn’t know she was into the restaurant business.]
[The thing is, she didn’t tell her fans about it, and she’s not using it to profit off them. So many celebrities open restaurants just to milk their fans – $100 for a serving of fried chicken, come on.]
[Zhou Qingyu is trying to milk celebrities’ fans, not hers! Haha.]

The drama surrounding just one breakfast was enough to stir up a storm in the “Let’s Travel Together” live broadcast room.
Yu, the director of Let’s Travel Together, was pleased with the opening viewership. In the world of variety shows, the key isn’t just the production team—it’s also the guests. Guests need to have some level of controversy or topic to make things interesting. Without that, the show would just feel bland.
As long as things didn’t escalate to a scandal level, Yu didn’t mind letting the guests stir the pot.
So when Pei Yubai suggested replacing Ye Luoyi with Zhou Qingyu, Yu didn’t hesitate. Both Pei Yubai and Zhou Qingyu on screen would attract attention, but clearly, Ye Luoyi and Zhou Qingyu together would create even more buzz!
The rivalry between the two was already evident, even before they had met. The live broadcast room was already filled with tension, and when they eventually crossed paths at the airport, no one knew what could happen.
And to top it off, Ye Luoyi’s live broadcast was still in the lead, holding the number one spot. As a rising star in the entertainment industry, her massive fan base was supporting the high viewership of her live stream.
Despite Zhou Qingyu’s controversial reputation, her viewership was steadily increasing. Although she was still in third place, she was closing the gap with second place.
At this point, all four groups of guests had set off and were arriving at the airport, where they would have their first encounter with one another.
Director Yu was already feeling the anticipation. It seemed clear that going live before they even arrived in F Country was the right call—viewers online were just as excited as he was.
The real drama, however, would unfold when Zhou Qingyu and Ye Luoyi finally came face to face. That moment would undoubtedly take the excitement to new heights!
