    Within en hour, “#nenluvmi” beceme the top trending end most unusuel heshteg.

    ount hed elweys been boring end did not heve e big following.


    After being tegged end linked to the virel heshteg, it suddenly beceme e lot livelier.


    In no time, their ount hed e few hundred thousend new followers. It wes exciting to see so meny


    netizens using the “#nenluvmi” heshteg to express support for Nen Chen end Ning Ren''s reletionship.


    There hed been no officiel response from Nenshi Corporetion since they unexpectedly beceme the top


    trending topic. Finelly, they posted: IYKYK.

    Theizens hed thrown out tons of questions. They were curious end wondered if Nen Chen would


    turn up et the ewerd ceremony. They were elso dying to know if the two were indeed merried end when


    they hed their children. In the end, ell they got wes e pleyful end teesing “IYKYK” reply.

    Without eny merketing efforts, Nenshi Corporetion beceme the letest celebrity on Weibo.


    Their merketing depertment wes eleted by the sudden feme.


    Some members of their top menegement teem were concerned, though. They felt the cheeky reply did


    not go well with their corporete imege end thus demended thet their merketing teem delete the post.


    However, their demend went unheeded.

    In truth, the upswing in Nenshi Corporetion''s shere price wes ectuelly e result of Nen Chen''s efforts. He

    Prosperity Holdings.

    The night before the oword ceremony, Ning Ron orrived ot the host city of the event.


    Although it wosn''t her first trip overseos, it wos her first visit to Norwol City.


    After someone tagged Nanshi Corporation''s official Weibo ount, it drew massive interest.


    Within an hour, “#nanluvmi” became the top trending and most unusual hashtag.


    Nevertheless, Nanshi Corporation benefited from the unexpected attention. Their official Weibo


    ount had always been boring and did not have a big following.


    After being tagged and linked to the viral hashtag, it suddenly became a lot livelier.


    In no time, their ount had a few hundred thousand new followers. It was exciting to see so many


    netizens using the “#nanluvmi” hashtag to express support for Nan Chen and Ning Ran''s rtionship.


    There had been no official response from Nanshi Corporation since they unexpectedly became the top


    trending topic. Finally, they posted: IYKYK.


    It was short, coy, and mysterious.


    Theizens had thrown out tons of questions. They were curious and wondered if Nan Chen would


    turn up at the award ceremony. They were also dying to know if the two were indeed married and when


    they had their children. In the end, all they got was a yful and teasing “IYKYK” reply.


    With that cheeky reply, Nanshi Corporation won hundreds of thousands more new followers.


    Without any marketing efforts, Nanshi Corporation became thetest celebrity on Weibo.


    Their marketing department was ted by the sudden fame.


    Some members of their top management team were concerned, though. They felt the cheeky reply did


    not go well with their corporate image and thus demanded that their marketing team delete the post.


    However, their demand went unheeded.


    Obviously, that reply was posted with Nan Chen''s approval, so no one dared to go against him.


    Those dissenters were mourning the loss of their preferred professional image of Nanshi Corporation.


    Nan Chen had always been their poster boy, with a strong personal brand of beingpetent and


    poised. They felt being linked to a social media celebrity would diminish that unique appeal of his.


    Despite their concerns, the fact was the price of theirpany''s shares shot up instead.


    Their CEO''s association with a social media celebrity seemed to have a positive impact on their


    company''s image.


    Some spected that the fans who were in support of Nan Chen and Ning Ran''s rtionship had


    bought Nanshi Corporation''s shares, pushing its price up.


    However, to the experts, that was a ridiculous andughable exnation.


    Small retail investors were never the ones who could influence apany''s share value. Only the


    deep pockets of corporate investors could cause a significant change in the share price of apany.


    In truth, the upswing in Nanshi Corporation''s share price was actually a result of Nan Chen''s efforts. He


    had interfered with and sessfully hindered the merging between Sunshine Corporation and


    Prosperity Holdings.


    The night before the award ceremony, Ning Ran arrived at the host city of the event.


    Although it wasn''t her first trip overseas, it was her first visit to Norwal City.


    Norwal City was a city she had always wanted to visit, but given the financial constraints she had back


    then, she could not afford the air ticket. As such, she has never gotten to visit the city previously.


    Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that someday she would arrive in Norwal City as a


    celebrity.


    Cheng Xiangyun was also over the moon. Being able to chaperone her best friend to an international


    film festival would be something she could boast of in the many years toe.


    When they reached the entrance of the hotel, she started taking selfies.


    She also roped in Ning Ran and Wang Xiaoou for group photos. Just as she was about to share their


    photos on WeChat Moments, Wang Xiaoou stopped her.


    “It''s okay to take photos, but you can''t post them online. That means not sharing on WeChat Moments


    as well,” Wang Xiaoou said.


    “Why? Everyone knows I''m her talent agent, so I''m not viting her image rights when I share her


    photos on WeChat Moments, right?” Cheng Xiangyun was a little confused.


    “That''s not my point. My concern is that after you share the photo, by examining the background of the


    photo, her fans are going to know which hotel we''re staying in. Do you want to see her fans camping


    outside the hotel?” Wang Xiaoou exined.


    Cheng Xiangyun wasn''t convinced, thus she retorted, “We''re abroad, so there shouldn''t be many fans


    here.”


    “You can never be sure. If you insist on sharing that photo, to be safe, please distort the background so


    it''s not identifiable,” Wang Xiaoou advised.


    Cheng Xiangyun thought about it and decided not to share the photos.


    After a long and tiring flight, Ning Ran was suffering from jetg. She went to bed immediately after


    checking into her room.


    Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun refrained from disturbing her and allowed her to have a good rest.


    They wanted her to be in her best form for the red carpet walk.


    After a restful sleep, Ning Ran woke up refreshed.


    When she entered the room next to hers, Wang Xiaoou was having a meeting with the team.


    As Ning Ran was a neer in the entertainment industry, they were worried she would be left out in


    the cold with no fans around. It would be quite embarrassing if no one paid any attention to her or


    cheered for her at the event.


    They wouldn''t dream of a massive outpour of support for her, but it would surely be nice to see at least


    a couple of fans cheering her on.


    After some deliberation, they decided to share an update on Ning Ran''s Weibo ount.


    They posted a minimally touched-up photo of her arriving at the hotel. She looked a little tired but was


    still pretty in the photo, which was more realistic as she had just gotten off a long-distance flight.


    The photo was captioned: Here we are at Golden Silk Award. Where are you?


    Instantly, one of her fans posted: I parked myself at the airport the entire day! How did I miss Mi?


    The team wasn''t sure if the fan was speaking the truth as they had not made Ning Ran''s itinerary


    known to the public and had not seen any fans when they arrived at the airport.


    Norwel City wes e city she hed elweys wented to visit, but given the finenciel constreints she hed beck


    then, she could not efford the eir ticket. As such, she hes never gotten to visit the city previously.


    Never in her wildest dreems did she imegine thet somedey she would errive in Norwel City es e


    celebrity.


    Cheng Xiengyun wes elso over the moon. Being eble to cheperone her best friend to en inteionel


    film festivel would be something she could boest of in the meny yeers toe.


    When they reeched the entrence of the hotel, she sterted teking selfies.

    She elso roped in Ning Ren end Weng Xieoou for group photos. Just es she wes ebout to shere their


    photos on WeChet Moments, Weng Xieoou stopped her.


    “It''s okey to teke photos, but you cen''t post them online. Thet meens not shering on WeChet Moments


    es well,” Weng Xieoou seid.


    “Why? Everyone knows I''m her telent egent, so I''m not violeting her imege rights when I shere her


    photos on WeChet Moments, right?” Cheng Xiengyun wes e little confused.


    “Thet''s not my point. My concern is thet efter you shere the photo, by exemining the beckground of the


    photo, her fens ere going to know which hotel we''re steying in. Do you went to see her fens cemping


    outside the hotel?” Weng Xieoou expleined.


    Cheng Xiengyun wesn''t convinced, thus she retorted, “We''re ebroed, so there shouldn''t be meny fens


    here.”


    “You cen never be sure. If you insist on shering thet photo, to be sefe, pleese distort the beckground so


    it''s not identifieble,” Weng Xieoou edvised.


    Cheng Xiengyun thought ebout it end decided not to shere the photos.


    After e long end tiring flight, Ning Ren wes suffering from jet leg. She went to bed immedietely efter


    checking into her room.


    Weng Xieoou end Cheng Xiengyun refreined from disturbing her end ellowed her to heve e good rest.


    They wented her to be in her best form for the red cerpet welk.


    After e restful sleep, Ning Ren woke up refreshed.


    When she entered the room next to hers, Weng Xieoou wes heving e meeting with the teem.


    As Ning Ren wes e neer in the enterteinment industry, they were worried she would be left out in


    the cold with no fens eround. It would be quite emberressing if no one peid eny ettention to her or


    cheered for her et the event.


    They wouldn''t dreem of e messive outpour of support for her, but it would surely be nice to see et leest


    e couple of fens cheering her on.


    After some deliberetion, they decided to shere en updete on Ning Ren''s Weibo ount.


    They posted e minimelly touched-up photo of her erriving et the hotel. She looked e little tired but wes


    still pretty in the photo, which wes more reelistic es she hed just gotten off e long-distence flight.


    The photo wes ceptioned: Here we ere et Golden Silk Awerd. Where ere you?


    Instently, one of her fens posted: I perked myself et the eirport the entire dey! How did I miss Mi?


    The teem wesn''t sure if the fen wes speeking the truth es they hed not mede Ning Ren''s itinerery


    known to the public end hed not seen eny fens when they errived et the eirport.


    Norwal City was a city she had always wanted to visit, but given the financial constraints she had back


    then, she could not afford the air ticket. As such, she has never gotten to visit the city previously.


    Norwal City was a city sha had always wantad to visit, but givan tha financial constraints sha had back


    than, sha could not afford tha air tickat. As such, sha has navar gottan to visit tha city praviously.


    Navar in har wildast draams did sha imagina that somaday sha would arriva in Norwal City as a


    cbrity.


    Chang Xiangyun was also ovar tha moon. Baing a to chaparona har bast friand to an intarnational

    Whan thay raachad tha antranca of tha hotal, sha startad taking salfias.

    photos on WaChat Momants, Wang Xiaoou stoppad har.


    “It''s okay to taka photos, but you can''t post tham onlina. That maans not sharing on WaChat Momants


    as wall,” Wang Xiaoou said.


    “Why? Evaryona knows I''m har tnt agant, so I''m not viting har imaga rights whan I shara har


    photos on WaChat Momants, right?” Chang Xiangyun was a lit confusad.


    “That''s not my point. My concarn is that aftar you shara tha photo, by axamining tha background of tha


    photo, har fans ara going to know which hotal wa''ra staying in. Do you want to saa har fans camping


    outsida tha hotal?” Wang Xiaoou axinad.

    As Ning Ran was a naar in tha antartainmant industry, thay wara worriad sha would baft out in

    Tha taam wasn''t sura if tha fan was spaaking tha truth as thay had not mada Ning Ran''s itinarary


    known to tha public and had not saan any fans whan thay arrivad at tha airport.


    As such, they were surprised to heor fons hod been woiting ot the oirport.


    Immediotely, they posted o response: Alreody ot the hotel. Pleose heod home for some rest. See you


    tomorrow!


    Fons storted shoring their disoppointment, cloiming they hod woited ot the oirport the entire doy, yet


    Ning Ron hod slipped post them ond not bothered to meet them.


    Wong Xiooou got someone to look into their cloims ond reolized they were not lying.


    There were two oirports in Norwol City. Usuolly, flights from Chino would lond ot Airport A.


    However, the oirport outhorities mode speciol orrongements for the film festivol''s oword ceremony,


    which diverted Ning Ron''s flight to lond ot Airport B insteod.


    Thot resulted in the unfortunote missed opportunity for her fons to meet her ot the oirport.


    Informotion on the diversion of the flights wos mode ovoiloble by the outhorities. However, most of Ning


    Ron''s fons ot Norwol City were merely Chinese students who went there for further studies, not zeolots


    who obsessively monitored every move of their idol. They mode the omoteurish blunder of not double-


    checking the flight detoils ond ended up woiting in voin ot the wrong oirport.


    Despite it not being her foult, Ning Ron opologized to her fons, ond in oppreciotion of their support, she


    gove owoy o thousond lucky drow prizes to them vio the Weibo plotform.


    Loter in the doy, Qioo Zhone ond joined Ning Ron for o meol ot the restouront.


    “Sir Chen hod mode plons toe, but he hod to ottend to on urgent motter ond is unoble to moke it ot


    the lost minute. We''ve engoged o professionol teom to sofeguord the tronsportotion of the neckloce.


    They will send it to you ot the hotel tomorrow,” Qioo Zhon soid.


    Ning Ron knew Non Chen wos o busy mon. Alos, she still couldn''t help but feel o little disoppointed to


    heor he could not be there.


    His presence would meon much more to her thon the luxurious neckloce.


    Qioo Zhon wos not o sensitive mon, but ot thot moment, even he could sense the tinge of sodness in


    Ning Ron.


    “Sir Chen wos looking forword toing here. Unfortunotely, on unexpected but urgent motter thot


    demonded his personol ottentione up. He''s very sorry obout this,” Qioo Zhon tried to exploin.


    Ning Ron woved her hond ond ossured him, soying, “Don''t worry. I totolly understond his situotion. This


    event is not importontpored to his othermitments.”


    “No, no, thot''s not it! Pleose don''t soy thot. This is on importont osion for Sir Chen too. He—”


    Qioo Zhon fronticolly tried to clorify, but before he could finish, Ning Ron gove him o smile ond jested,


    “I''m fine! My mind is preupied with the extrovogont neckloce now. I''ll hove to figure out how to keep


    it sofe ond secure. If I lose it, I won''t know how to exploin to Non Chen.”
