However, instead of waiting for Orange Bear's stream to start, they were greeted by a knock on the door.

Puzzled, Liu Ergou went to the door, only to find the person knocking was Orange Bear's assistant. When the assistant saw Liu Ergou, her face immediately showed a complex mix of joy, respect, and admiration. Her demeanor was a world of difference from the first time she had come looking for him.

Seeing the assistant, Liu Ergou asked, "Why are you looking for me? Isn't Orange about to host a fan meeting? Shouldn't you be there to help?"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, the assistant quickly explained, "That's right. Orange asked me to come and pick you and your girlfriend up to join the fan meeting."

"I see!" Liu Ergou nodded, called out to Lu Shuangyue, and set off with the assistant.

By the time the three of them arrived, the fan meeting was just getting underway. After leading Liu Ergou and Lu Shuangyue backstage, the assistant hurriedly rushed out front to help.

Orange Bear had not yet made her appearance. She was backstage, applying light makeup. When she saw Liu Ergou arrive, her face lit up with surprise.

"You've finally arrived!"

"I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Hearing Orange Bear's words, Liu Ergou said half-jokingly, "Waiting for me for what?

"Isn't this just a regular fan meeting? Are you worried it will fail and that I'll deny any involvement later?

"Don't worry, I can't run away from a company as big as Baozhi Hall!"

Hearing Liu Ergou speak like this, Orange Bear immediately grew anxious and began to explain in a fluster.

"No, no, it's not what you're thinking.

"What I mean is, this is such an important event, you simply can't miss it!"

At this point, Orange Bear actually took out a bottle of makeup remover and wiped off the light makeup she had applied, revealing her natural skin.

Then, pointing to her skin, she said, "Look! My skin has become like this since I started using your Snow Skin Cream!

"I've only been using it for three days! I can hardly imagine what would happen if I used it for longer. My skin might even catch up to your girlfriend's!"

Liu Ergou looked at Orange Bear's face and nodded in satisfaction. The results were just as he had anticipated.

Orange Bear's face was now a world away from how it looked when Liu Ergou first saw her. Back then, her face could be described as dull and lackluster; her skin was sallow and dark with plenty of acne marks and blemishes, making her a true "back-view killer."

But now, her face had changed drastically. Her formerly sallow, dark skin was now turning fair, and all those acne marks and blemishes were gone. Combined with her graceful figure, she was now a true beauty.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou said, "This is just the beginning. Didn't I tell you? This is a product that Baozhi Hall has been researching for ten years. These effects are nothing special."

Seeing Liu Ergou's nonchalant attitude, Orange Bear couldn't help but grow agitated.

"No, you're a man, so you don't understand!

"I've tried every whitening product out there, even exclusive ones you can't find in stores, but nothing has ever had an effect like this!

"If you officially start selling this product, I can't even begin to imagine how crazy women will go for it!"

Liu Ergou had no desire to listen to Orange Bear's lengthy explanation, so he interrupted her.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about this here. Let's hurry to the front. Just standing here, I can already hear people outside wanting to come and expose you as a fraud!"

With that, he pushed Orange Bear toward the stage.

As they got closer, Orange Bear could hear the crowd's chatter.

"Hmph! I really don't know how this Orange Bear has the nerve to hold a fan meeting. Looking so ugly, it's truly disgusting!"

"Yeah, her appearance is so revolting, and I've verified those photos are all original, not photoshopped at all!"

"Wow, so isn't she just humiliating herself by holding this fan meeting today?"

"Ha, who knows? Maybe she's just an attention-seeker!"

Hearing these remarks, the expression on Orange Bear's face soured.

Behind her, Liu Ergou said in a low voice, "Don't take these words to heart. It's just people kicking someone when they're down.

"When they see you later, I bet these same people will be the first to speak up for you. They're nothing but fair-weather fans, so don't be scared!"

Comforted by Liu Ergou's words, Orange Bear felt somewhat better.

At that moment, the two of them arrived at the stage. There, Orange Bear's assistant was struggling to maintain order, but to little avail.

Witnessing the scene, Liu Ergou whispered in Orange Bear's ear, "Alright, now is the perfect time for you to make your entrance. Go on!"

With that, he gave Orange Bear a firm push forward.

The moment Orange Bear appeared, the previously noisy scene fell instantly silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Looking at the large crowd before her, Orange Bear couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although her live streams attracted more viewers, this was her first time appearing before the public, so it was impossible not to be nervous. Feeling a bit anxious, Orange Bear took two deep breaths.

Then she said loudly, "Hello, dear fans and friends!

"I'm Orange Bear!

"Three days ago, a set of my photos was posted online, claiming to show my true face!

"That incident has caused me great harm!

"So, I have specifically held this fan meeting today to clarify that I do not look like the person in those online photos!"

Having said her piece, Orange Bear sat down confidently, letting everyone scrutinize her.

The entire audience was silent, all of them carefully observing Orange Bear. After a good while, someone finally spoke up.

"Huh? Orange Bear without beauty filters seems not much different from the one with them. The only thing is she's not as pale! But as for beauty filters, those who know, know!"

As this person spoke, the crowd again started to buzz with discussion. Some even began to jeer loudly.

"Hah, is this supposed to be a joke, Orange Bear? Do you think your little tricks can fool us? That you can just put on some makeup?"

"Right, right! One of the four great arts of deceit is makeup. It can turn even the ugliest person into a beauty!"

"I agree! Take it off if you dare!"

Hearing the crowd's chatter, Orange Bear didn't hesitate for a second, immediately turning to look at her assistant.
