After someone tagged Nanshi Corporation's official Weibo account, 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 account 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 account 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 relationship.
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.
The netizens 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 playful and teasing “IYKYK” reply.
With that cheeky reply, Nanshi Corporation won hundreds of thousands more new followers.
Without any marketing efforts, Nanshi Corporation became the latest celebrity on Weibo.
Their marketing department was elated 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 being competent 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 their company'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 speculated that the fans who were in support of Nan Chen and Ning Ran's relationship had bought Nanshi
Corporation's shares, pushing its price up.
However, to the experts, that was a ridiculous and laughable explanation.
Small retail investors were never the ones who could influence a company's share value. Only the deep pockets of
corporate investors could cause a significant change in the share price of a company.
In truth, the upswing in Nanshi Corporation's share price was actually a result of Nan Chen's efforts. He had
interfered with and successfully 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 to come.
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 violating 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 explained.
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 jet lag. 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 newcomer 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 account.
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 internetionel film festivel
would be something she could boest of in the meny yeers to come.
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 newcomer 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 eccount.
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.

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

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 Zhon come ond joined Ning Ron for o meol ot the restouront.
“Sir Chen hod mode plons to come, 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 to coming here. Unfortunotely, on unexpected but urgent motter thot demonded his
personol ottention come 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
importont compored to his other commitments.”
“No, no, thot's not it! Pleose don't soy thot. This is on importont occosion 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 preoccupied 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.”
