The hot topics on Weibo these days had about tens of thousands of shares, while the cover reveal that VIVI posted was shared over 100,000 times with over 400,000 likes. There were endless comments under the post too.
On Xiao Yu Tong’s personal Weibo, the photos she previously posted had also been frantically shared around.
[Damn damn damn! What did I just see?! This is insane! Gong Xu and Luo Chen are actually in the same frame!]
[This photo gallery is too lovely, huh! I love seeing both of them squabbling! It’s like a couple scene!]
[Oh god oh god oh god! My Fujoshi heart is exploding! Please get married, I’m begging you guys!]
[Chen Xu CP for the win!]
[Who said friendships had to be courteous and nice on the surface? Although Gong Xu and Luo Chen have always been fighting, they went through tough times together and this is the true meaning of brotherhood, alright! It’s so much better than those plastic relationships in the entertainment industry!]
[So it’s VIVI, that old name – I used to buy every single issue of their magazine when I was in high school…]
…
In an office building:
Gong Xu had just woken up and was rubbing his eyes. He saw the scary amount of shares and comments and was completely shocked. “Uh, what happened while I was asleep? Ye-ge, you bought a water army [1] for us?”
Luo Chen was puzzled as well.
Ye Wanwan replied to the messages that were flooding her phone non-stop and chuckled. “I don’t have the money to buy paid followers – these are your natural source of water.”
Ye Mu Fan speedily browsed through all the related messages and exclaimed in surprise. “How could they be paid netizens? The sales volume of the magazine can’t be faked and the preorders have already exceeded 50,000 and it’s still soaring…”
The few of them were talking when Gong Xu jumped up like a frightened cat. “DAMN! Why’s young master the one who’s ‘bottom’! All of you guys are bottom; your whole family is ‘bottom’!!!”
The issues this guy focuses on are… really always so strange…
…
At this moment, everyone in VIVI’ s magazine building was very busy.
“Xiao Jiang, hurry, close the web page for the preorders. We can’t have any more orders; there isn’t enough stock! Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
“Qiaoqiao, go over to the printing factory and increase the number of copies! What? We can only increase it by 10,000? That’s definitely not enough! Get a quote from other factories then! Find whatever you can!”
“Mick, have you edited the third set of photos? And those group photos of the four people? Hurry up!”
Xiao Yu Tong was so busy that she didn’t even have time to swallow her saliva. Her phone kept ringing nonstop and was about to explode; there were also a couple people from the entertainment industry calling to congratulate her even though they hadn’t been in contact with her for a long time.
Chai Yong Li looked at the staff who were so busy at the office and felt like it was a lifetime ago…
He never expected that this issue would actually bring about such a drastic change for VIVI by just using the shots of two substitutes on the cover, allowing VIVI to return to its peak…
…
Compared to the rejoicing VIVI, the current situation at Beauty magazine was as expected.
“BANG——” Liang Chong slammed the table, his face filled with disbelief. “This is impossible! This is fake! These numbers are fake!”
The assistant trembled and stuttered. “But I just heard that VIVI contacted many printing factories so this shouldn’t be fake…”
And the trending topics flooding the Internet can’t be fake either…
“Damn it!” Liang Chong muttered a curse then he immediately gave Cai Yong Sheng a call, but he couldn’t get through.
Cai Yong Sheng would probably be the one having the greatest headache today.
He just woke up from Lucy Yang’s bed and his phone was already exploding.
