After chatting with his parents for a few more sentences, they finally hung up the phone.
Cheng Zhu guessed that his parents would be up late tonight, talking about their son for a long time in bed.
What he didn’t know, however, was that before Xu Yun called, she also said to Cheng, "And about that Shen Qingning affair, I also want to get to the bottom of it—what exactly is his relationship with this young lady!"
Ultimately, she was stopped by Cheng.
"You should give him some space in this regard. They’re adults, and he’ll naturally tell you when he’s ready!" Cheng said.
It took a full five minutes of argument before Xu Yun conceded, and that’s why the phone call only mentioned QQ underwear and none of the other scandals.
After pouring himself a glass of water, Cheng Zhu plunked down on the sofa.
He was too lazy to reply to the pile of WeChat messages, planning to tackle them all in one go later.
He had real business to attend to tonight.
His parents’ phone calls definitely needed to be answered, and his girlfriend’s WeChat messages certainly needed a reply, but the rest could be pushed back a bit.
Once his identity as the mastermind behind Persistent Visit was exposed, many of his friends would be outright shocked, creating a lingering impact.
Of course, what Cheng Zhu was busy with was online marketing.
"It’s me who chose to expose the identity of Persistent Visit’s big boss!"
That was his plan for the evening.
With his personal popularity rising across the entire internet, he was well aware that being outed was just a matter of time.
Instead of waiting for that to happen, he might as well throw a combo punch tonight and send his personal popularity to today’s peak level, monopolizing most of the internet traffic!
The marketing king’s thought was simple: if you’re going to blow up, blow up into instant fame!
Rather than passively accepting his underpants being exposed, it’s better to take off the vest himself!
"This way, I have the tempo at least in my own hands."
"I can guide some of the public opinion myself."
"There’s no choice, although we’re doing legitimate business, it’s quite special, isn’t it?"
"It’s a gimmick that’s awesome to the extreme but could also bring endless trouble."
Cheng Zhu had been very busy these past few days, busy with planning.
He had a lot of contingencies in place and had even utilized many resources and connections.
Only after making complete preparations did he take the initiative tonight:
"No pretense anymore, I’m laying my cards on the table—I am the King of QQ!"
Cheng Zhu opened Weibo and began to analyze the traffic for the night.
The traffic today was quite complex.
Some came from "Langya List", some from looking sharp, some from scandals, some from an incredible career...
With the traffic sources being so varied, it made the comment section a dazzling spectacle, with discussions coming from all angles and not focused on a single topic!
In such a scenario, the data would explode even more, the focal points of attention would increase, and the time spent on this trending topic would be even longer!
Suddenly, a spark crossed Cheng Zhu’s mind, and he thought of something.
"I might be overlooking a dark current within the traffic..." He suddenly remembered that there was a group whose traffic, although really a dark current, was very turbulent!
He directly opened Youu Tea’s official Weibo and started looking at the photo of him and Mei Changsu.
He began his search in the repost and like sections.
Similar to the retweet section of Weibo, if someone retweets and their post gets a lot of retweets too, then, like hot comments, it’s going to rank near the front.
Cheng Zhu quickly noticed a special group: online celebrities!
These people can’t be said to rely entirely on Persistent Visit for a living, but every new release from Persistent Visit allowed them to make a big profit, it was like adding a succulent chicken drumstick to their rice bowl.
Anyone who had been a shop model saw their online traffic explode after posting a seller’s show, and their follower count skyrocketed too!
In some ways, Cheng Zhu could indeed be considered half a patron saint of the online celebrity circle.
This made these people come to pay homage...
In the past, they wanted to lick Cheng Zhu but couldn’t find the place to do it, only able to go to Persistent Visit’s official Weibo.
Now, the main character has leaked his photo, and his identity has been exposed on the entire internet, why wouldn’t they rush to pay homage?
Moreover, he’s damn handsome, unexpectedly so!
Tonight, their group was out in force, liking, commenting, and reposting like never before!
But, are they just liking, just commenting, just reposting?
On some level, they’re meeting the king without a crown, unanimously recognized in the QQ circle!
(ps: Begging for monthly tickets!!!!)
