Chapter 667: Chapter 469: QQ Tycoon, Identity Exposed! [8000 words, asking for monthly pass!]_5

She felt her image would definitely add value to the brand!

But what about Youu Tea?

They seemed to have never initiated anything similar.

From beginning to end, Youu Tea never actively marketed looks.

Interviews were either in the form of articles or videos with faces concealed.

Up to now, Cheng Zhu had accepted very few interviews, perhaps only one-tenth of those Chen Yue had.

Including this time’s photo leak, it was the netizens who had been constantly clamoring for pictures.

Everyone knew quite well that in this age of abundant information, even if Youu Tea was dead set against it, Cheng Zhu’s photos would inevitably leak online sooner or later.

Thus, Youu Tea’s impression was passive, compelled by the pressure of the information age.

Well then, Yue Tea’s proactive marketing of looks seemed a bit greasy!

And yet, despite such active marketing, it still couldn’t match the shock delivered by the competition!

Chen Yue was truly in a foul mood, completely going mad in her room.

Upon hearing the news, she grabbed her phone and viciously said, "I want to see just how handsome this chinless wonder really is!"

"These netizens have never seen the world, swooning over any man who shows up!"

"This world is always so malicious towards us women: for men, a touch of handsomeness is seen as very handsome, while a woman has to be very pretty to be considered pretty."

Her thoughts on the appearance of men and women did align with some of the current circumstances.

But when she saw the group photo, she paused slightly.

The words "not handsome at all" just wouldn’t come out.

One shouldn’t lose their sense of aesthetic out of anger, should they?

Even Cheng Zhu’s appearance and charm actually hit her aesthetic sweet spot...

At first, Chen Yue only thought, "How handsome can he be to rush into the top three on Weibo search?"

She was convinced that there must have been traffic buying, that there must have been purchases for trending topics!

But after looking at the group photo, she began to doubt herself.

Chen Yue clicked open the comment section and started to feel increasingly speechless.

It was too bustling! The comments section was overly rambunctious!

"I’ve been so active in establishing my online persona, so proactive in having the company team set the tone, but the comments section has never been this lively!"

"There are drama fans, face fans, milk tea fans, and even CP fans..."

The most exaggerated part was that Cheng Zhu somehow had "career fans"!

These days, having career fans was becoming gradually popular in the entertainment industry; these fans would encourage their ’oppa’ or ’unnie’ to work hard in their careers and continuously promote their business achievements.

Such as how many billions at the box office, which awards were won, how the ratings skyrocketed, and so on.

To Cheng Zhu, there were people touting Youu Tea’s data.

Just like the rhetoric found in fan circles: "Let me show you the achievements of our milk tea top-tier oppa!"

Chen Yue felt like she was about to cough up blood.

At this moment, she suddenly had a very bad premonition.

She had constantly urged Zhou Tao to manipulate Cheng Zhu’s narrative, and now she realized this might backfire on her!

Sure enough, her Weibo was once again flooded with uniform comments: "Where did this Mad Woman come from?"

What infuriated her the most was that, just because Cheng Zhu was handsome enough, everyone thought he was the embodiment of a domineering CEO!

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"Fine, fine, fine!!!"

So him cursing at me has a domineering CEO vibe, huh!?

"What about me? Am I the female antagonist in a CEO romance novel!?"

She felt that the netizens calling her a Mad Woman were the ones truly mad!

Yet fatally, she saw such a comment:

"Cheng Zhu has the male lead’s face, Shen Qingning the female lead’s face—don’t you think many idol drama antagonists are rich young ladies returning from studying abroad?"

A crowd replied below: Idol drama brought to life!

Chen the Mad Woman: "I’ll mirror your nonsense!"

"WTF!!!"

Her carefully marketed returnee female elite persona had now become the quintessential antagonist template, hadn’t it?

She spent the whole night feeling like she was about to go insane.

Beyond that, there was a sense of uncertainty about the company’s future!

Chen Yue wasn’t really a business dummy; from her several fairly successful co-brandings and her knack for self-marketing, one could tell.

These tactics would be useful even 20 years later.

It’s just a pity she’d gotten involved with Cheng Zhu!

As the night grew deeper, Chen Yue tossed and turned restlessly in bed.

Eventually, she kicked off the covers in extreme irritation, then fiercely stripped off her sleep pants and expertly opened her bedside drawer, taking out the [Persistent Visit] earbuds.

To vent, she needed to let loose with a vengeance!

She closed her eyes, trying her best not to think wildly, focusing her attention on the unique sensation of the small earbuds.

Just as she was getting more into the groove, her phone suddenly wouldn’t stop ringing.

She picked up the phone and saw a barrage of voice messages from her bestie, six short messages one after another.

"Yue Yue, Yue Yue, are you asleep? You shouldn’t be asleep yet, right?"

"My god, if you’re not asleep, hurry up and check Weibo!"

"Big news, something huge happened tonight!"

"Tonight’s drama is bigger than the last!"

"Your archenemy, Cheng Zhu, has been outed by netizens, someone uncovered that he made his first pot of gold by selling QQ lingerie!"

"One called [Persistent Visit] is his online celebrity store; he’s the big boss behind it!"

The bestie’s voice echoed in Chen Yue’s room; as she listened to the other end, her eyes gradually widened in disbelief, then she looked down in shock.

"What... what?"

"Persistent... Persistent Visit?"

The phone slipped from her palm, dropping next to the pillow.

The bedroom almost fell into complete silence, leaving only the extremely faint high-frequency buzzing sound.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
