091 Buying a New Phone! (Please Add to Favorites)

Amidst the myriad voices, Su Yunqin’s Weibo following surged at a terrifying pace once more.

One hundred thousand followers.

Two hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand.

Her nearly four to five hundred thousand fans skyrocketed to a million in the blink of an eye.

But that wasn’t all—this time, as her numbers climbed, even more people bought trending spots for Su Yunqin.

By eight o’clock in the evening, Su Yunqin’s personal Weibo had reached two million one hundred thousand followers.

She hadn’t posted a single update, yet she had over two million followers.

Those in the same industry, already envious of Su Yunqin, were now even more so.

Yet, despite their envy, they found themselves with little to say.

The story had been exposed by netizens; Su Yunqin had not orchestrated it.

Moreover, it was an act of kindness, leaving them with not even the right to be jealous.

Anyone can do good under the spotlight, but to persist in doing good outside of it—that is true charisma.

With such character, it was almost impossible for Su Yunqin not to become famous.

Even so, they could not suppress their envy and jealousy—but compared to before, they now felt a deeper admiration for her.

That admiration wasn’t limited to her peers; even the investors were moved.

Originally, they had valued Su Yunqin’s abilities, but now, they prized not only her talent but also her integrity and medical expertise.

Especially her integrity—it meant stability in an artist.

Investors fear nothing more than a scandal. If an artist collapses, their efforts are wasted.

So what’s most important?

Character, of course!

An artist must possess virtue. Without it, no matter how popular or talented, someday the truth will come out.

On the other hand, as long as one’s character is sound, talent will eventually shine through.

Besides, Su Yunqin has talent, integrity, and exceptional medical skills. Even as an ordinary person, people would seek her out.

And who knows, perhaps one day they might need her medical expertise.

“Contact Su Yunqin!”

“I want Su Yunqin’s contact information immediately.”

“For the next variety show, we must invite Su Yunqin as a guest!”

Suddenly, many investors in the industry were urgently issuing orders, afraid that if they delayed for even a moment, they would miss out on booking her schedule.

...

Meanwhile, Su Yunqin—

After a day’s rest, she finally found time to check the news online.

Ever since her fifth grandfather spoke, she had formed a basic plan for entering the entertainment industry.

Registering for Weibo was the first step.

After all, Weibo was a must for every celebrity.

The number of followers was proof of popularity and influence.

So she completed the registration and verification, but had no idea what was happening.

She opened her computer and logged into her Weibo account.

“Two million three hundred thousand followers? That many? Am I really this popular now?”

Seeing the follower count, Su Yunqin was stunned.

Her initial plan had been to have tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand followers.

She never expected to have millions so quickly.

And without any promotional effort, this was truly a surprise.

“Still, I don’t have a manager yet, and my profile isn’t complete—I’ll need to plan carefully.”

With so many fans, Su Yunqin felt she had taken a huge step forward.

But it was only one step; she was still far from being able to influence the entertainment industry.

Her next goal was to attract even more attention and show her value to investors.

But that would have to happen gradually. She had no intention of signing with any agency yet, and if she was going to assemble a team, it would have to be reliable.

Thinking this over, she opened her private messages and those tagging her.

Every single message was marked with 99+ notifications.

This wouldn’t do.

She was sure to miss important messages.

After quickly browsing through, Su Yunqin adjusted her Weibo settings so only messages from mutual followers would alert her.

With this change, Shao Xinghui and the others’ messages floated to the top.

Originally, she planned to follow them one by one, but now there was no need.

Their comments popped up as well, and she responded to each, following several.

After finishing, she washed up and prepared for her morning lessons.

Entering the living room, she saw Aunt Qiao busily cleaning.

“Aunt Qiao, good morning,” Su Yunqin greeted.

“Morning, Xiaoyun, you’re up.”

“Yes. Where’s Fifth Grandfather? Is he up?”

“He’s been up for a while, already gone out.”

Aunt Qiao paused her work to answer.

Su Yunqin was surprised. “Gone out? Where to?”

“I don’t know. He just said he had something to do, then left.”

With Aunt Qiao’s explanation, Su Yunqin didn’t ask further.

Whenever they returned from the mountain, Fifth Grandfather was always busy. Sometimes he took Su Yunqin along to help, but other times he managed things alone.

She was used to it by now.

After a simple breakfast, she said to Aunt Qiao, “Aunt Qiao, I’m heading out for a bit. If Fifth Grandfather comes back, tell him I’ll be back soon.”

“Alright,” Aunt Qiao nodded.

Su Yunqin changed clothes, put on a mask and hat, and left the villa complex.

She didn’t go anywhere else—just to the mobile phone market beneath the shopping mall.

Her phone was already ten years old.

Many apps couldn’t be installed or updated.

In the past, she was too lazy to replace it, thinking she’d just let it collect dust once she returned to the sect.

But now things were different. Fifth Grandfather wanted her to continue developing in the entertainment industry and shoulder the task of promoting Chinese culture.

So her equipment needed updating.

Everyone used WeChat these days, and short video apps too; she needed them.

Before assembling a team, she might have to handle some work herself, which meant she needed a new phone.

At the phone market, Su Yunqin wandered around and bought eight of the latest double-sided phones from the patriotic brand.

The first thing she did after inserting the SIM card was register her own WeChat account.

Then, using her QQ number, she registered another WeChat account.

But that one wasn’t for her—it was for Fifth Grandfather to take back to the mountain.

With technology so advanced, Fifth Grandfather and the others should enjoy its conveniences.

At least, from now on, they could video call instead of relying on dry phone calls.

When she returned with the phones, Fifth Grandfather hadn’t come back yet.

She could only wait, unaware that her purchase of seven or eight phones had sparked discussions throughout the market.

The sales counter where she bought them had instantly become the most envied spot in the entire mall.

Eight phones in one go—that was tens of thousands in sales commission!
