Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Astronomical Lottery

Ah Da clicked out of the group chat and checked the trending topics list, where the seventh highest trend was #FandomLotteriesAreThisCrazyNow?.

The whole thing started when a marketing account named “Entertainment Gugu Sister” took a screenshot of Ah Da’s Weibo and the lottery amount and posted a Weibo expressing shock.

[Entertainment Gugu Sister: Oh my God, just asking, are fandom lotteries this insane now? Casually throwing out a million? Is it just me who can’t count or am I blind?]

Entertainment Gugu Sister herself is a major Weibo influencer with over thirty million followers, making her one of the leading accounts in Weibo marketing.

Her daily views can exceed a million, so her posts usually generate high engagement.

This time it went directly to the hot search, with fifty thousand shares, sixty thousand comments, and over five hundred thousand likes.

Ah Da clicked into the comment section, where the top comment had thirty thousand likes, and the follow-up comments also totaled over nine thousand—a genuine buzz with real people, no wonder it shot up in the trends.

Top comments:

Kyoto Poison Chicken Soup: With so many rich people in the world, why couldn’t I be one of them?

Unknown Fool: With so much money, why not donate it?

Sleepless Pork Belly: Fun fact, I just checked, it’s true, there really are tycoons doing no-strings-attached pure lotteries! Does their home have a mine or a mint? May I ask, how has the world come to this?

white-skinned beauty: A lottery with no conditions? (question mark face) Crazy, right?

Dream of Eight Hundred Million Girls: The working class who are slaving away are seeing this lottery amount, and it’s like the sky is falling, absolutely chilling to the bone.

Xin Mengfeiyang: What’s so surprising here? Just look at the amount and you know they’re not real fans. What kind of fan casually throws out a million? It must be some agency pulling strings behind the scenes, or I’ll screw my head off and kick it like a ball!

Below this comment someone replied: Not necessarily, I heard that Su Qingtong has a tycoon fan who once sold out a theme skin directly, that couldn’t have been faked, right?

Bright Moon Shines on My Heart: Su Qingtong has nothing but a pretty face; I used to think she was just some internet celeb. She’s only played a few small roles in a few films, no endorsements, the studio isn’t running a charity by losing millions, have capitalists gone mad?

Waiting for you to say goodnight: Just a lottery getting into the hot search, don’t tell me there’s no capital manipulation behind it! Tycoon fan? Stop bluffing, Su Qingtong doesn’t even have two thousand real fans online (LOL).

Rainbow Piglet: I also think it’s hyped up, this blogger is just doing it for the money, marketing accounts are all about profit, they wouldn’t post without getting paid (LOL).

Blogger Entertainment Gugu Sister clapped back: Damn it, I’m openly a marketing account, there’s nothing wrong with admitting I take money, but I’m not taking the fall for this, being targeted for my earnings is ridiculous, I didn’t expect it to blow up, I’m not a prophet.

The fuss started with the premiere of “44 Days of Peach Blossom”, I was captivated by Su Qingtong’s beauty, (ps her acting is indeed hard to bear, no hate, I’m just a simp for faces), I just popped into her fan forum, had no idea this lottery post would shock me, and randomly posted it, little did I know it would hit the hot search, now I am scapegoated for a lifetime of bad luck (despise).

Soft rice, hard to swallow: Why is everyone fighting, am I the only one curious about who the blogger really is?

Strawberry Boba: Just came back from snooping, heard this fan hasn’t been around for even a month and has already spent millions, checked their homepage but nothing special, the Weibo is all recent and about Su Qingtong.

Sun Shines Overhead: The comment section can stop blowing it up, Su Qingtong lacks acting skills, it’s all about hype every day, the studio spending big bucks on an expensive lottery for hype is just crazy.

Lots more comments followed, but Ah Da didn’t read them all, as most people were skeptical.

Back to the anti-black fan group.

Ah Da (admin): The red packet wasn’t sent wrongly, the current effect is good, we’re ranked eighteenth now (applause)

Bai Zhouliu (group owner): Dai Bao!!!

Bai Zhouliu (group owner): You are my goddess!!!

Is it wrong to like Qingtong: Dai Bao, love you (mad kisses)

Bai Zhouliu (group owner): Dai Bao, you should be fine, right? If not, we can pull back, taking some flak is better than losing money…

Ah Da (administrative): No worries, guys, (boost) let’s grow big and strong!

“Is it wrong to like Qingtong? Cheer up.”

Ah Dai pursed her lips, just about to reply to the message, when her phone suddenly showed an incoming call. The name displayed was Qin Yu.

Ah Dai’s mouth curved upward, her eyes glittering with brilliance, and without hesitation, she swiped to answer the call.

“Qin Yu.”

The soft, sticky voice of the young girl transmitted through the phone, and Qin Yu, who had just finished work, showed a slight smile and leaned back on the sofa. His tone softened unconsciously, “What are you doing?”

Ah Dai glanced at the mirror, smiling happily, her tone light, “I’m braiding my hair and I’ve picked out lots of pretty dresses. I’ve even put on makeup, I’ll take some photos for you later.”

“Mmm.” Qin Yu’s pale face revealed pleasure.

Listening to the young girl’s cheerful voice, he couldn’t help but recall the way she looked up at him with those round, sparkling eyes, making all his morning’s weariness vanish.

He wanted to tie her to his side. Qin Yu twiddled his fingertips, his dark pupils lowered, his sexy Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.

Ah Dai stuffed a small piece of apple into her mouth while chewing the sweet juice, she asked,

“Qin Yu, have you eaten yet?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, what did you have? Was it good?”

“So-so.”

Ah Dai muttered under her breath, Qin Yu said everything was just so-so. The last time they went to a restaurant halfway up the hill, she found it incredibly tasty. When she asked him, he said it was just so-so.

So-so meant not very tasty.

He was really too picky. Ah Dai was very curious; what on earth did he find tasty?

Unable to understand, she continued to pick up the conversation, “Did you eat at the company, or outside? Did you eat alone?”

Qin Yu chuckled lowly, “Why? Want to come over and join me?”

Ah Dai’s face turned red, she ground her little white teeth, huffing, “I certainly won’t come; I’m too busy. Never mind if you don’t say, I’m not that curious anyway.”

Qin Yu pursed his lips, his eyes tinged with a faint smile, his voice soft, but he didn’t respond as she had said.

“Which dress do you like?”

When it came to the dresses, Ah Dai immediately put on a smile, her tone slightly mischievous, “Guess.”

“No.”

He ruthlessly rejected, but Ah Dai wasn’t discouraged.

“If you want to know, you should make a video call.”

At that, Qin Yu switched to a video call indeed. Ah Dai looked at the video call ringing on her screen, her smile deepening, and she picked up her phone, aimed it at the mirror, and then clicked to answer.

On the screen, Qin Yu was sitting on the sofa, in a dress shirt and pants, his hair and handsome features attractive, the high buildings behind him visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight streaming in through the glass onto him. His dark eyes were backlit, seeming all the more deep and captivating.

He was looking at her intently, his gaze increasingly direct, and even through the screen, she could feel his burning stare.

Ah Dai couldn’t help but move the camera away a bit, her voice becoming slightly timid, “Can you see it?”
