Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 663 - 469 QQ Tycoon, Identity Exposed! [8000 words, asking for monthly tickets!]

Chapter 663: Chapter 469 QQ Tycoon, Identity Exposed! [8000 words, asking for monthly tickets!]

The photo posted by Youu Tea’s official Weibo was, from a compositional standpoint, just a very ordinary picture with a celebrity.

It felt as though Cheng Zhu had visited the set and handed his phone to a staff member to casually snap a couple of photos.

In the photo, Hu Ge, who portrays Mei Changsu, wore his iconic ancient costume, which was also a hot seller on Taobao for a while. freewebnøvel_com

Of course, the buyer’s shows were horrifically bad, each uniquely ugly in its own way.

With the popularity of "Langya List," a meme gradually gained traction: "Ever since I watched Hu Ge’s drama, I always feel like his health isn’t too good."

In the drama, Mei Changsu was frail and extremely sensitive to cold.

Many actors, even when not in front of the camera, seek out the state of mind of their characters.

Moreover, the makeup was also that of a frail appearance, making Mei Changsu in the photo look very weak and sickly.

But standing beside him, Cheng Zhu was different.

The day Cheng Zhu visited the set, it happened to be quite hot.

And he brought a whole car of milk tea, planning to treat the entire crew to Youu Tea.

This meant he was busy before taking the photo, constantly moving milk teas to the table, stacking them up, and then photographing the milk tea for later marketing.

By the end, he was sweating so much that he simply took off his jacket and wore only a plain black T-shirt.

In the photo, there was a stark contrast between Cheng Zhu and Mei Changsu.

It felt like one was living in the hot summer and the other in the cold winter.

One was broad-shouldered with a narrow waist and long legs, muscular and tall, while the other, dressed in ancient costume, appeared scholarly, elegant, and frail.

The former radiantly handsome, the latter pathetically beautiful.

When Cheng Zhu was taking the photo, his temples were still sweaty, slightly moist.

He was naturally blessed with slightly upturned eyebrows, emitting a faintly nonchalant air from within, giving off a youthful exuberance that contrasted strongly with Mei Changsu’s scholarly demeanor.

Many people say: There’s a wall between celebrities and ordinary people.

Many celebrities on the big screen are one thing, but standing in a photo with a bunch of ordinary people is another thing entirely.

Surely, many celebrities look handsomer off-screen than on.

There was even a saying later on that some people have a "low-res" appearance, while others have a "high-def" appearance.

In photos, some people just catch everyone’s eye immediately, looking notably striking with more defined facial features, as if their image quality is different from the rest.

But Cheng Zhu was different.

In his photo with Mei Changsu, he certainly could not be overlooked.

Perhaps the first look would be, "Woah, Hu Ge!"

The second might then shift to, "Who’s this guy? He’s also so handsome!"

In this situation, the top trending comment became, "Woah, standing next to Hu Ge and not losing out!"

This comment got the most likes, raking in 300+ likes within a few minutes of posting the photo.

Half an hour after posting, the photo was already showing signs of going viral.

There was no helping it, previous days’ buildup had put Youu Tea in a high-traffic period.

And with "Langya List" being this year’s hottest drama and rightfully topping online discussions, traffic was naturally explosive!

When combined, it was like merging into a single pool of traffic.

But was that all there was to it?

No, no, no, there was an unknown "undercurrent" in this pool of traffic.

Under the skillful manipulation of Chen Yue and her PR team, they were continuously funneling heat to Cheng Zhu’s side.

Zhou Tao, a member of the team, upon Chen Yue’s signal, contacted a number of bloggers who fueled gender opposition online, diverting the controversy.

Chen Yue’s directive was simple: to shift the business rivalry between Youu Tea and Yue Tea into a gender conflict!

Cheng Zhu’s criticism was justified, and he only criticized a rival business, targeting her personally.

But it didn’t matter.

We only needed to perform a few tactical maneuvers to shift from targeting an individual to targeting an entire gender group.

Overall, she and her PR team were playing that card of moralizing over the issue.

Criticize her, and you’re insulting women!

This notion was devoid of logic, making the scheme especially sinister.

Yet, it was effective!

Incredibly so!

With just a slight nudge and staying hidden to fan flames, a massive army would surge in, even causing a ripple effect, continuously expanding their ranks.

Among them, some people were specifically making money from this.

Others had ulterior motives.

But once the rhythm was set, many easily influenced common people would foolishly charge to the forefront.

Since Cheng Zhu differed from Chen Yue in that he didn’t manage his personal Weibo, everyone’s target could only be Youu Tea’s official Weibo.

"Sisters, charge!"

"Go, trash this disgusting man!"

"Disgusting! So disgusting!"

"Daily misogyny +1!"

A massive number of Weibo users flooded into Youu Tea’s official Weibo, ready to spew venom.

But then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Before entering: "Damn it, disgusting man!"

After entering: "Woah, what a hunk!"

—"Who are you, handsome guy?"

Many people, seeing some comments and behavior on Weibo, might get the impression that these individuals truly have an allergy to men in real life.
