What was even more surprising was that at this time, the account "Quan Hongchan" also entered the live broadcast room, and when I clicked on her profile, I found that it was Quan Hongchan, the star of the Chinese diving team who was participating in the Olympics in Paris. The account had official certification, and it was indeed Quan Hongchan herself.

According to statistics, Quan Hongchan stayed in the live broadcast room for more than two hours and made more than ten purchases, but unfortunately she failed to get the hidden version. Netizens joked: "Sister's good luck is reserved for today's game."

Because of the large amount of purchases, the anchor even advised Quan Hongchan, "Quan Mei, why are you placing another order? Be rational when spending!" Seeing Quan Hongchan appear, many netizens were very excited, and the number of viewers instantly soared to more than 5,000. "Everyone stand up," "Quan Mei, come on," "I can actually be in the same live broadcast room with an Olympic champion," "There are still competitions, go to bed early"...
