At the press conference, seated in front of the podium and under the barrage of flashing cameras, were not only the senior officials of Huan Ya.

In the center, one could see several stylishly dressed young men and women confidently answering questions from reporters below.

Their faces were not familiar, but from the questions answered, it was evident they were mostly newcomers that Huan Ya planned to heavily promote this year.

This made Xu Fan somewhat puzzled; Miaomiao was not the type to chase celebrities, so why was she so invested in this event?

Curious, Xu Fan glanced at Miaomiao sitting next to him, who was holding another mobile phone and watching the comments from the audience.

Seemingly influenced by the press conference, the number of people in Miaomiao's live stream had increased several times over, breaking through the million mark.

Ignoring those sending gifts and typing "666," the screen was flooded with comments mostly worried about Huan Ya's future.

"Just a bunch of pretty boys, Huan Ya is doomed sooner or later."

"Tsk tsk, in my view, the girls on stage aren't even as pretty as Miaomiao."

"Hey, you all don't understand, the entertainment industry requires connections. Good looks alone don't cut it; it's all about who you know."

"No lie, I'm a director, those who want to debut can contact me, one shot to stardom."

"The guy downstairs, your whole family explodes, still talking about debuting, just go to a funeral instead."

...

After briefly observing the comments flashing on the screen, Xu Fan leaned over to whisper in Miaomiao's ear, "The eyes of the public are crystal clear."

"Not really…"

Clearly understanding that Xu Fan was complimenting her, Miaomiao felt a surge of happiness.

She felt no envy towards the glamorous men and women on stage.

Being the focus of everyone's attention might seem glamorous, but it also came with its own set of undisclosed troubles.

She was quite satisfied with her life as it was, looking at Xu Fan beside her, Miaomiao firmly believed in her current thoughts.

"Manager Zheng, I heard that this time Huan Ya has nurtured a potential star selected from the public, is she present at the venue?"

At that moment, a journalist stood up and asked, causing Miaomiao to suddenly widen her eyes and excitedly tug at Xu Fan's arm.

"She's here! She's here!"

Miaomiao's anticipation of meeting someone yet unseen today was evident to Xu Fan, who frowned slightly at her excitement.

He had a feeling he might know this person.

Following this lead, many journalists asked similar questions.

The performance of the newcomers interviewed earlier was indeed good, but still lacking in experience. With the entertainment industry producing talented individuals continuously, the journalists who had seen many new stars rise and fall weren't too optimistic about them.

In comparison to the fresh faces currently at the press conference, they were more interested in the one who hadn't yet appeared.

Manager Zheng, the middle-aged man referred to below, smiled and leaned into the microphone, answering, "It seems everyone is well-informed."

"We did indeed discover a promising talent recently, and she is one of our key focuses this year. Since everyone is so interested, let's invite her out to answer some questions."

As Manager Zheng's words concluded, applause broke out among the journalists sitting below, and the backstage door opened, revealing a tall figure clad in a glittering silver-white evening dress that looked exceptionally gorgeous under the flashing lights. Xu Fan, following the gaze of the crowd, was stunned by the face under the cascading long hair, appearing ethereally beautiful and unblemished.

It was her...

The face reflected in his pupils was none other than Guan Shimeng, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

Even though they used to see each other every day, Xu Fan found that he still couldn't get enough of her now that they were meeting again.

During these days, Guan Shimeng had been participating in artist training courses at Huan Ya, almost completely cutting off contact with the outside world.

Such effort had indeed brought about a tremendous transformation in her.

Now, bathing in the flashlights and facing the gazes of many, her face showed not a hint of stage fright or nervousness, but rather a graceful and elegant demeanor, exuding an alluring scholarly aura.

"Thank you all for coming."

Now approaching the press conference podium, Guan Shimeng adjusted her skirt gracefully before sitting down.

This move nearly captured the attention of the whole audience.

The several newcomers who had answered questions before could not help but flash various complex expressions in their eyes.

Jealousy, envy, even hatred.

"This girl has indeed grown up," Xu Fan thought to himself, sitting in the audience, a smile inadvertently spreading across his face as he watched Guan Shimeng confidently respond to the journalists' questions.

Compared to when they first met, Guan Shimeng had matured significantly, just the performance right now made him believe that in no time at all, she would captivate the world.

Now that she had embarked on the path of stardom, he hoped that one day, he could see her standing on the world's highest stage.

"You sneaky Miaomiao, how dare you keep this from me?"

Laughing, Xu Fan's gaze turned toward Miaomiao, who was to his side.

Miaomiao looked at him pitifully, mumbling, "Miaomiao also wanted to give Brother Xu Fan a surprise, hehe, don't be mad at me~"

It was really his own lack of realization, and on second thought, he should have guessed it.

Guan Shimeng emerged from Douyu, and now at her debut press conference, how could Douyu not pay attention?

Through the smartphone in Miaomiao's hand, it was clear that as soon as Guan Shimeng appeared, the viewership in her live streaming room surged again!

Since signing the contract with Huan Ya, Guan Shimeng had barely had time to live stream, constantly in training, so her reappearance in front of the camera was bound to excite people.

Gifts flew across the screen continuously, the whole screen was filled with messages, a testament to the popularity Guan Shimeng had accumulated on Douyu's live streaming.

"Miss Guan Shimeng, I heard that before your debut, you were consistently live streaming online. Today's press conference is even being broadcast by Douyu Platform, and the current viewership has already exceeded three million," a journalist began.

"I would like to ask, what would you like to say about the Douyu Platform?"

At that moment, a journalist, holding a smartphone that was live streaming, stood up.

After carefully listening to the question, Guan Shimeng smiled graciously and picked up the microphone.

"Yes, that's right, I have indeed been live streaming on Douyu. Whenever time allows, I will continue to do so. Douyu has been a great help to me. If it weren't for that period of training, I certainly wouldn't have been able to handle today's event," she said.

"I'd like to thank everyone here for your continued support."

The answer Guan Shimeng gave was standard, but the questioning journalist was not quite satisfied.

He adjusted his glasses and, with his gaze fixed on Guan Shimeng's smiling face, his lips curled up slightly as he posed another question, "Miss Guan Shimeng, I would like to ask another question, if it's appropriate."
