Ch23 - What a Coincidence

Like? What was this compliment? 

Song Yu opened his Weibo to check and many fans in the comment area were discussing his friendship with Li Zhao. After Li Zhao made the Weibo account, Song Yu was the first in the cast of Overbearing Female President to follow and praise Li Zhao.

He didn’t, his hand just slipped.

Then looking at the list of follows, Li Zhao didn’t follow him back? Even if Song Yu’s hand had just slipped, shouldn’t Li Zhao immediately follow him back or he would be too embarrassed?

“You go and tell Li Zhao to follow me immediately.” Song Yu shouted to his assistant. “He set us up as good friends so don’t let others see me as a joke.” 

The assistant was speechless. Didn’t Li Zhao say there were good friends to help Song Yu? However, he didn’t dare say this. If he did say it, Song Yu’s dog temper meant he would definitely tear down the dressing room.

Song Yu’s assistant went to see Li Zhao, who was acting with a veteran actor. This veteran actor didn’t take many TV series but he was a national level actor with excellent skills.

Li Zhao had a face that old people and girls liked. Thus, Song Yu saw the veteran actor smiling while seriously telling Li Zhao his experience with acting. Li Zhao was listening very seriously, probably to please the veteran actor. It wasn’t until the assistant came to Li Zhao that the actor stopped talking.

“Think again about this scene. Ask me if you have any questions.” The veteran actor put his hand behind his back and left with satisfaction. 

This veteran actor had a problem. Whenever he saw a young actor with aura, he wanted them to act better. This led to some actors saying behind the scenes that he liked to be a teacher.

In recent years, he had restrained himself a lot until he met Li Zhao. From his point of view, Li Zhao’s acting skills were wild and there were many areas that weren’t refined enough. However, acting skills could be learned. It was very difficult for an actor to bring their own aura. His heart became excited and he made an old mistake.

Fortunately, Li Zhao liked learning. The two people hit it off and within a few days, there was a sense of finding an old friend.

The veteran actor went away and Song Yu’s assistant smiled. “Teacher Li, Brother Song asked me to buy milk tea. Do you want to drink it? Shall I bring a cup back for you?” 

“How can I do that?” Li Zhao politely refused but his heart had the taste of milk tea.

“It is just on the way. Do you want me to buy the vanilla flavour you used to love?”

“Okay.” Li Zhao nodded. “The vanilla taste is good.”

“Good.” The assistant’s smile became a bit unnatural. “Mr Li, I heard that you opened a Weibo account. Brother Song was very happy and followed your account just now.” 

Then hurry and follow back! If Li Zhao didn’t follow back then Song Yu’s dog temper would break out!

“The account was set up by my assistant and I’ll go see the fans’ comments later.” Li Zhao looked up at the sky. “It is getting dark. You should go early so you can come back early.”

The assistant felt that Li Zhao might not have understood his hint at all…

The furthest distance in the world wasn’t life and death but that he wanted Li Zhao to follow Brother Song’s Weibo account while Li Zhao’s mind was only on the cup of milk tea that hadn’t been brought back. 

“Okay, once you look at the fan comments, remember to follow the people in our crew.” Song Yu’s assistant didn’t give up. “We have to work together for two or three months. If you don’t follow each other then people might think there is a conflict between actors.”

“Okay, thank you for reminding me.”

Thus, you should buy milk tea.

The eyes of the two men met under the evening sky as they showed a smile, thinking that the other person had understood their meaning. 

Song Yu’s assistant left and Li Zhao grabbed his phone from Da Ke. He found that his fans had passed half a million. “Is my popularity so high? I’ve only opened a Weibo account for less than a day and there are already 500,000 fans?”

“Yes, it is cheap to buy fans now. In order to not arouse the fans’ suspicion, the company only bought 400,000 fans and there are 100,000 real fans.” Da Ke was very satisfied with Li Zhao’s fan growth.

Li Zhao, “……”

It turned out that only one in five fans were real and the rest were fake fans? 

“Don’t be depressed. After 8 p.m. is the peak time for netizens to look at Weibo. The company can help you operate it and also increase the number of live fans.” Da Ke looked at the filming schedule. ‘You have a few night scenes. Once they are over, I’ll take a photo of you and put it on Weibo.”

“I want to chat with my friend after the shoot.” Li Zhao raised the phone to his face, took a photo and started to edit his Weibo. “Send it now.”

Ancestor! Stop for the sake of your idol image! This was the angle of death for a selfie. You aren’t using a beauty filter or retouched it! Don’t send it!
