Tiancheng Entertainment, Assistant to the CEO’s Office

When Assistant Zhou saw the photo, he immediately realized this wasn’t a simple leak.

Lie Crusher had clearly captured Xie Zhixing in the shot. It was impossible not to also capture Xia Chengcheng standing right next to him. Yet, the photo that was leaked intentionally excluded Xia Chengcheng.

Was it a veiled threat aimed at Xie Zhixing, or a warm-up for some upcoming gossip about their relationship?

Professional instinct kicked in, and Assistant Zhou quickly made a decision. After consulting Xie Zhixing, he immediately contacted Lie Crusher privately and made an offer to buy the photos of Xie Zhixing and Xia Chengcheng together.

His offer was 5 million.

Xia Chengcheng couldn’t help but smile and leaned back lazily in her office chair. She replied with just two words, 【Deal!】

No further explanation was needed between them. The 5 million was quickly transferred via the system’s overseas account into Xia Chengcheng’s wallet.

Hehe, Husband’s so rich. So much wool to harvest!
Just then, a ‘special follow’ notification popped up on her phone screen.

Xie Zhixing had actually liked Lie Crusher’s Weibo post!

Not only that, he even reposted it and commented, 【The muchkin’s called Guangzong, and the corgi’s called Yaozu. They’re new additions to the family.】

【Guangzong and Yaozu? Is Xie Zhixing joking? These names are killing me with laughter!】

【Guangzong and Yaozu: We shall bear the honor of this household together!】

【Who says our Zhixing is cold and distant? Look how gentle he is with Guangzong and Yaozu!】

【Xie Zhixing, I think your Guangzong and Yaozu need a mom. Please consider me!】

【Help! Our Zhixing just got cuter! Cool in public, but a total softie for cats and dogs in private!】

……

As Xia Chengcheng enjoyed the Weibo comments, she also kept an eye on Lie Crusher’s soaring follower count.

Xie Zhixing truly was the ultimate traffic cheat code. After he shared the post, her followers quickly surpassed the 5 million mark, and so did her reputation points!

She had suddenly become a mini-rich woman!

Grateful to the top celeb, she mentally bowed to her life tree.

The system’s merchant mode kicked in again. 〖Host, now that you’re so wealthy, how about unlocking the [Reputation Point Weight View Permission]?〗

Xia Chengcheng lazily propped her chin. “One million?”

The system gritted its teeth, sounding pained, 〖I’ll give you a 1% discount!〗

Xia Chengcheng gave a sweet smile. “Scram.”

She stopped paying it any mind, grabbed a bag of chips, and started watching dramas on a video platform.

Having failed to sell, the system jumped up and down, nagging in her ear, 〖Host! Don’t ignore me! The discount is still negotiable! These are premium system store items! You can’t just trade for life-saving items and not buy anything else! I’ll go bankrupt! Think of me as a small business vendor, please!〗

“You’re so noisy!”  Xia Chengcheng slammed the chips onto the table and rubbed her ear. “Do you believe I’ll mute you?”

The system immediately shrank back and mumbled, 〖Host…… this is how I make money. I need to save up for a marriage partner…… please, help me out here……〗

“Just tell me the best deal straight up. Don’t beat around the bush.”  Xia Chengcheng said, “With that pea-sized brain of yours, you’re not slick enough to scam me anyway.”

The system thought for a moment, then grit its metaphorical teeth. 〖One million reputation points— for both the Weight View Permission and the Identity Reveal of one follower! Host, unlocking an identity alone costs a million! This is basically 50% off!〗

Xia Chengcheng’s interest was instantly piqued. “So I’ll be able to see who’s following me?”

〖Yes, yes, yes!〗 The system nodded furiously in her mind. 〖It’s such a good deal!〗

Xia Chengcheng waved her hand. “Alright then, let’s do it!”

The permission activated quickly. When she opened Weibo, all her followers now had visible weight rankings.

One name that stood out among them all was a user called ‘Little Rascal Classmate’.

The other party’s weight was ten thousand times higher than the average followers!

Xia Chengcheng stared blankly at the username.

Thinking through the entire novel, she couldn’t imagine which character would use such a bizarre name.

Especially since this ‘enthusiastic netizen’ not only followed her, but also followed other marketing accounts and actively left comments beneath them.

【Little Rascal Classmate: Jin Yifan’s acting in a school drama? He’s pretty good, this could work! ＾-＾】

【Little Rascal Classmate: Zhao Qing and Zhang Song broke up? My ship is sinking…… Tough guy crying.jpg】

【Little Rascal Classmate: Bai Xuchang has a kid? He clearly said he was single! Liar! 凸(艹皿艹 ) 】

Xia Chengcheng: “???”

She fell silent.

Who the hell was this main character who loved gossip, shipped CPs, and used emoticons so freely?

〖Host, are you going to use your identity-unlock token on this person?〗 The system said sneakily, 〖Think carefully! If you want to buy another one later, it’ll cost a full million!〗

Xia Chengcheng hesitated.

She had assumed that someone with a weight multiplier of ten thousand would be someone on the level of Xia Yongde.

But now, she seriously suspected that maybe any named character in the novel could have that kind of weight.

“Whatever. If they all have this kind of weight, I just won’t unlock anyone next time.”  Xia Chengcheng made up her mind. “Do it, System. Let’s see which demon this is!”

〖Got it! Unlocking identity now!〗

Moments later, a very familiar name appeared next to Little Rascal Classmate’s account.

──Xie Zhixing.

Xia Chengcheng: “……?”
