After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 606 Gains 3 Million Followers Overnight, Once Again Clearing Instructor Li's Name

Helpless Xiao Song: [My luck is amazing today! I was a little unhappy because I had to go on a business trip on the holiday, but then I ran into my favorite celebrity on the plane. I tried to secretly take a picture but got caught. I quickly wrote an apology letter and sent it over, and I didn't expect to receive a reply. Yingzi's personality in private is so nice too. I definitely didn't choose the wrong person to be a fan of!]

The accompanying images are: [Apology letter] and [Letter paper refolded into a small flying shuttle].

Scroll down to the comments section, and the pinned post is a reply from the author himself.

Helpless Xiao Song: [I just wanted to express my excitement, but I didn't expect it to attract so much attention and questioning. I'd like to respond here:]

First, photos taken secretly will not be posted without the person's permission.

Secondly, as for why the handwriting in the reply wasn't Shadow's handwriting, I didn't really notice it at first. I specifically looked for a video of Shadow writing, and there were indeed some differences when comparing them. But I'm sure it was Shadow's reply, probably written by someone close to him.

Finally, whether you believe it or not, I have no intention of using the name "Shadow" to create this account. This account is simply for sharing my daily life and will never be used to accept advertisements or sell goods via live streaming. It is completely non-profit, and I welcome everyone's supervision.

Continue scrolling down.

[I just checked the author's profile and saw that they've posted four times now, including this one. Is this what they call daily sharing? Wouldn't it have to be one post a day to be considered daily?]

[This is definitely an attempt to ride the coattails of the "shadow" trend. When I first saw this post, the author only had a little over two hundred followers, but when I checked again, they had over a thousand.]

[Yesterday, the character "Shadow" became an internet sensation for her sword dance at a New Year's Eve gala, and the very next day, she was spotted at a plane. It has to be said, she really knows how to capitalize on trending topics perfectly!]

[I can already guess what the author will do next. Once the number of followers increases to a certain level through these posts, they'll simply change their account name, delete the previous posts, and once they have the follower count, they'll start advertising and selling products.]

[It's just a scam to get people to follow me. They say they welcome feedback, but how can you get feedback without following?]

I just bookmarked the post and took a screenshot. I'll check my bookmarks list again in a few days to see if it's been deleted.

[Wow, this young man is only in his early twenties and he's already flying first class! That's amazing!]

Although this guy doesn't post much of his daily life, once you click in, you'll know the quality is really high.

[I guess they only post things that are worth recording in their daily lives, not the kind of thing where they post everything they did every day.]

Want to know what this young man does for a living?

At this age, traveling in first class, plus a business trip during a holiday—I'd guess he's a wealthy, entrepreneurial second-generation heir.

If they can afford to fly first class, why would they go to such lengths to trick people into clicking and gaining followers?

[What if someone knew the shadow's itinerary beforehand, gritted their teeth and bought a first-class ticket, and deliberately staged such a spectacle?]

I'd better keep my opinion to myself.

[I'm also a fan of his, and I've been a fan since his debut. You can check my profile if you don't believe me. By the way, is his company still hiring?]

[Me too! Me too! I've never experienced what it's like to be a fan of the same person as my boss!]

……

Jiang Hanying looked for a while and then stopped scrolling down. Instead, she returned to the top of the page and opened the author's homepage.

I glanced at the number displayed after the followers, wow, it's already over two thousand!
The comment from the netizen who said the author had gained over a thousand followers was made half an hour ago.

In other words, it increased by another thousand in that half hour.

Regardless of the person's original intention in posting this, it seems quite effective at attracting followers.

Pei Yuan craned her neck to take a look as well. "I'm also confused by all these conflicting opinions from netizens. It feels like both sides have a point. Sister, do you think Xiao Song's actions were unintentional or deliberate?"

"Is there a difference?"

“If this person is really your fan, and posting this was unintentional, just sharing something, then that's fine. He's only saying nice things, so we're not at a loss. But if he's really scheming to use your fame to gain attention and then make money off you, then that's definitely exploitation, and I don't want him to succeed.”

Jiang Hanying looked at her, who seemed to need to take this matter seriously, and asked, "Is my reputation really that useful now?"

Pei Yuan: "..."

After a moment of silence, she picked up her work phone, tapped the screen a few times, and looked up, "Sis, do you know how many followers you've gained since last night?"

Jiang Hanying: "How much?"

"Nearly three million, that's more than half of your original followers. Although your post only reached third place on the real-time trending list last night, I dare say you gained the most followers!" Pei Yuan finished speaking and glanced at the door, lowering her voice slightly, "Although Yuan Chaoyu dominated the top spot on the trending list, I'm sure she didn't gain as many followers as you this time. And you forgot that you were almost surrounded by people outside when you left after the party last night." She realized that her Han Ying sister had absolutely no clear understanding of her current fame and popularity!

I wonder how much profit someone could gain simply by using Jiang Hanying's name!
Jiang Hanying saw the number displayed in the follower section of her account: 798.33 million.

Two seconds later, after refreshing, the 33 after the decimal point became 56.

This growth rate is much faster than the helpless Xiao Song she just saw.

“You can comment on his post using my main account, just say: My boyfriend helped reply.”

Pei Yuan: "..."

They're not forgetting to subtly show off their love!
After a moment of silence, I asked, "Are you sure he's really your fan?"

If I actually post this comment, this post, which was already somewhat popular, will become even more popular!
It's fine to interact with real fans, but the real problem is that some fans might be fake and have ulterior motives!
Jiang Hanying waved her hand: "It's not important."

"Then what's important?"

Is it more important to clear Instructor Li's name?
After all, many netizens in the comments section of this post were questioning who wrote the reply.

Everyone had their own guesses, but no one guessed it was Instructor Li.

Pei Yuan did as Jiang Hanying suggested and left a comment using her main account.

At first, everyone thought this comment was just a fake account with the same name.

When I opened the homepage, I almost went crazy!

[Ahhh, Shadow himself came to comment!]

[Oh my god, Shadow saw this post too! Tagging helpless Xiao Song, did you see Shadow's comment?]

[Wow, it was Instructor Li who wrote the reply! No wonder his handwriting is so beautiful!]

Jiang Hanying silently gave this comment a thumbs up.

A short while later, her account received a private message from Helpless Xiao Song.

First, she expressed her excitement and gratitude for seeing the comments, and then she emphasized that she would never use this account for profit.

He then sent a screenshot of his bank account balance to show that he was really not short of money.

After reading the private message, Jiang Hanying handed the phone to Pei Yuan.

After confirming several times that the screenshot was genuine and not photoshopped, Pei Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy really is a rich second-generation!"

She is no longer worried that this person will exploit her artist's fame for profit.

With that kind of wealth, why would she need to go through all that trouble to build up her fanbase?

Then I can only share it casually. It just so happens that this post went viral because Han Yingjie was very popular at the time.

"Sis, do you think we should add him to our fan group? We don't have any fans this rich yet."

"Who said there isn't?"

"Ah? Is there any?"

"The instructors are also in the group chat."

Group admin Pei Yuan: "..."

How come she didn't know when Instructor Li joined the group?

And then I think about how Instructor Li might often be secretly watching the fan group, ugh!

It seems we need to regulate the way fans speak.

This will save the group from having people calling each other "husband" or "wife" every day, and even "mommy fans" calling Yingzai!
I wonder if Instructor Li secretly felt jealous when he saw these titles.

Stop thinking about it!
