Miaomiao was representing Douyu officially at this press conference and enjoyed several privileges.

After the press conference ended, she turned off the live stream, took Xu Fan with her, and headed backstage.

Avoiding other journalists leaving the venue, Xu Fan followed Miaomiao, casting a glance towards the journalist who had asked a question earlier.

His gaze landed on the press card on the other's chest, and soon, Xu Fan saw his name.

Zhuo Wei.

After mentally noting the name, Xu Fan followed Miaomiao backstage.

"Hello, we are from Douyu, and we would like to interview Guan Shimeng. Is that possible?"

Soon, they arrived at the lounge where the upper management of Huan Ya Entertainment had instructed to allow Douyu's staff entry. When Miaomiao showed her credentials, the security guard stepped aside to let them through.

Upon opening the door to the lounge, they could see several newcomers who had been sitting at the press desk now resting inside.

As for Director Zheng, he was next to Guan Shimeng, earnestly advising her about something.

Seeing people entering, Director Zheng ended his advice to Guan Shimeng, stood up, and walked towards Miaomiao.

"Hello, you are from Douyu, right? Your superiors have notified me, so go ahead and conduct your interview; I won't disturb you."

With a quick greeting, Director Zheng promptly left the lounge.

"Shimeng!"

Miaomiao ran over to Guan Shimeng with an energetic cheer, which left Guan Shimeng a bit torn between laughing and crying. As she embraced Miaomiao, she glanced over at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, it's... it's been a long time."

For her, this was truly a surprise.

She knew that Douyu would send someone to interview her, but she hadn't expected Xu Fan to come.

In recent days, she had been immersed in the company's training, but when left alone in the quiet of the night, she often thought of Xu Fan.

Her capability to handle the journalist's aggressiveness today was in no small part due to the help Xu Fan had provided in the past.

Looking at Xu Fan now, she thought to herself, she must not have let him down today, right?

"You little rascal, don't forget why you came here today."

Xu Fan smiled at Guan Shimeng then quickly knocked Miaomiao on the head.

When they had entered, he had already made sure that the ones supposed to attend the press conference were Miaomiao and Han Dongxu.

However, Han Dongxu had directly given the opportunity to him.

"You two get busy, we'll talk after you're done."

By this time, they had reached the lounge, and according to Douyu's instructions, Miaomiao was supposed to live stream with Guan Shimeng for a while. Urged by Xu Fan, Miaomiao, with a pout, took out her phone and started the live stream.

...

After finding a place to sit, Xu Fan took out his phone.

His instincts told him that the disruptive journalist, Zhuo Wei, might be a problem. With a sense of caution, Xu Fan sent a message to Han Dongxu asking him to check out this person.

After instructing Han Dongxu, Xu Fan put away his phone and observed the newcomers in the lounge, frowning.

From the moment he had entered, these people had not spoken a single word to Guan Shimeng, and they seemed disinclined to engage with him or Miaomiao either.

It was clear that they were deliberately isolating Guan Shimeng, likely due to Huan Ya's high regard for her, which had sparked their envy.

Realizing all this, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile wryly. These days of training must not have been happy for Guan Shimeng.

"Xu Fan, brother, that's enough, turn off the live stream and come over here!"

After waiting for a short while, Guan Shimeng and Miaomiao ended their live stream. Standing up, Miaomiao ran over to Xu Fan, wanting to pull him together with Guan Shimeng for a good chat.

Just now, the name Qianfan Guo had caused quite a stir; Miaomiao knew that mentioning these three words could impact Guan Shimeng, so she directly called Xu Fan by his real name.

"Shimeng, you really should thank me today."

Bringing Xu Fan here this time, Guan Shimeng was fully aware of Miaomiao's intentions. Seeing Xu Fan being dragged over by Miaomiao, she couldn't help but blush.

No matter how much she had changed, in front of him, she still couldn't get rid of the habit of blushing.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. The interview is over, can you please leave? Don't you know you're disturbing my rest with all your babbling?"

Suddenly, a tall woman who was removing her makeup on the side looked over at Miaomiao unhappily.

"Sorry, I'll keep it down..."

Miaomiao had indeed been too exuberant just now, she stuck out her tongue slightly and lowered her voice.

"Keep it down? I told you to get out, don't you understand?"

The other party was still unrelenting, giving Miaomiao a disgusted look she snorted, "A female livestreamer who only sells her body to losers, can't you show some decency?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears in the dressing room.

The few newcomers around her started to snicker.

"Exactly, birds of a feather flock together. "

The snickering glances moved back and forth over Miaomiao and Guan Shimeng, their implied meaning clear without needing words.

"Cancan, aren't you being a bit too much?"

At that moment, Guan Shimeng stepped forward.

These past days, Liu Cancan and her group had been isolating her, and now in front of her, they were disparaging Miaomiao; she couldn't just sit by and do nothing.

"Too much?"

Feeling no remorse, Liu Cancan rested her chin on her hand, looking provocatively at Guan Shimeng, she said, "Guan Shimeng, I am being too much, what are you going to do about it?"

Watching the woman confront Guan Shimeng aggressively, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile.

Bullying truly was everywhere; if he hadn't come today, Guan Shimeng would have definitely been at a disadvantage.

"Xu Fan..."

Seeing Xu Fan walking towards Liu Cancan, Guan Shimeng anxiously tugged at his sleeve, not wanting him to get into trouble because of her.

"Yo? Little brother, playing hero?"

Seeing Xu Fan ignoring Guan Shimeng's advice and heading straight towards her, Liu Cancan took a cigarette from the makeup table, put it in her mouth, and squinted at Xu Fan coming her way.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're also a streamer, right? A stinky loser who streams games?"

"Do you think, with your loser status, are you qualified to play the hero?"

With no reporters around, Liu Cancan completely turned into another person, her nails painted in red polish pinched the cigarette, distinctly thuggish.

"Are you done talking?"

Not caring about whatever backing she might have to be so arrogant, Xu Fan now stood in front of her, smiling, and asked.

"Stinky loser, you've got quite an attitude, huh? Do you know who is backing me?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Fan raised his hand, and with a slap, struck her heavily made-up face!
