CHAPTER 576: 393.2

"Why aren’t you going back yet?"

"Mr. Zhang, how about we play a game of Minesweeper together?"

Lan Lan leaned over and waved at him, pointing to her computer screen.

He was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant, but sluggishly moved over.

Then, they took turns clicking the mouse, jointly advancing the Windows Minesweeper game.

However, while playing, Zhang Gaoqiang suddenly noticed something was off.

The area he marked as potentially containing mines was covered in small flags, vaguely forming the word "LIKE".

Could it be...

Even the dullest of men would realize something was up in that moment.

It was clearly set up beforehand. He watched as she pretended to click on safe areas unintentionally, then smiled and handed the mouse to him.

Zhang Gaoqiang pondered for a moment and boldly clicked on the area he suspected contained mines.

Just as expected.

The screen revealed all the mines, forming a simple black English phrase, below which was a heart shape subtly pulsating.

[I like u]

"You clicked it!"

She whispered in his ear, "I spent a long time figuring this out."

The confession and heart shape on the screen seemed to flash in his mind.

Zhang Gaoqiang didn’t respond but gathered the courage to take the girl’s hand.

The saying goes, a woman’s love for a man is thin as mist; he too wanted to feel being loved.

...

"I’ve finally understood now: when you blossom, the bees come naturally. A man must work hard, investing in himself."

After finishing Zhang Gaoqiang’s story, Qiang Zhihao let out a long sigh.

At first, as the privileged son from a wealthy background in the dorm, he had been harshly challenged more than once throughout a semester.

It’s not just because the dorm had Lu Jincheng, a weirdo.

In fact, the impact from Lu Jincheng was no longer a concern for Qiang Zhihao.

Brother Lu and himself were simply not in the same league; there was no point in comparing.

What to compare?

The guy runs a successful business, maxed out capabilities as the first generation, while he himself still relies on family for allowance - what to compete with?

Yet when Qiang Zhihao saw Zhang Gaoqiang, whom he had always underestimated, improving his life through hard work, he truly couldn’t sit still anymore.

Lu Jincheng being chased by girls was no surprise.

Lao Lu is exceptional in every aspect, without weak points, while his strengths and abilities are over the top.

Liking him is perfectly normal.

But Zhang Gaoqiang, having such a day too?

Why?

Obviously, he isn’t richer than him, nor does he come close to hitting the same level of handsome looks.

Yet, he was relentlessly pursued by girls.

Qiang Zhihao finally started reflecting on himself.

"Qiang Zi, you’ve finally realized?"

Liu Yisheng looked at him with a meaningful gaze, teasingly said.

"Last semester, I urged you to hang around Lao Lu. If not joining debates like me, at least to gain some skills, even Senior Sister Mou would look at you more favorably."

"So, you’re still serving as someone’s lackey now?"

"Damn it!"

Qiang Zhihao clenched his fists, almost losing it.

"Being a lackey leads nowhere, regardless of gender, unless you’re exceptionally capable, then you could possibly reach the end line."

Liu Yisheng slowed his speech, seriously said.

"Like Senior Sister Mou..."

"She’s really going for the championship, she’s sure to land leading roles and become a big star, I don’t know how others are vying against her."

"From what I see now, her popularity has begun skyrocketing, creating a significant lead."

"With such competition, ordinary girls... would likely feel intimidated."

...

Liu Yisheng’s prediction was impressively accurate.

Mou Keyan’s tearful "unrequited love" was swiftly clipped by the attentive, paired with deeply touching BGM, practically dominating video rankings across major media overnight.

"Goddess 101" was originally the exclusive variety snack of this winter holiday, full of highlights.

Along with her miraculous spontaneous performance, more and more viewers started empathizing.

On the night of her speech, her ranking jumped from the debut borderline - eighth, all the way to the top three.

In just one night, as her reputation spread, new fans hurriedly joined in, old fans spontaneously formed an army, clipping clips, posting posts.

She had already occupied the top spot on the popularity leaderboard.

At this time, Mou Keyan’s Weibo followers skyrocketed to five million. Besides the long-standing fans from the Douyu streams, her breakout index soared to the sky on a brand new nationwide platform.

She totally smashed it.

This round, she really smashed it.

If you’ve seen Mou Keyan’s confession that day, it’s hard not to be moved by her genuine sincerity.

The reason Mou Keyan hadn’t topped the popularity chart before wasn’t complicated.

In most people’s eyes, she was just a dancer, lacking any sort of buzz.

Even though she had a beautiful face, an excellent figure, and naturally drew attention, most discussions about Mou Keyan focused on "This girl dances damn well" and "She looks really good."

Most of the praise was still about her skills.

But those who have experienced the era of internet traffic know that one-dimensional skill alone isn’t enough to make someone break through.

Otherwise, look at Chicken Ge from "Idol Trainee," what made him break through?

Who can remember anything he produced?

It can’t compare to that spontaneous self-introduction and the two and a half years of viral catchphrases.

Being a hot topic is the secret of the traffic era.

And here stands Mou Keyan, who didn’t rely on the company’s strategies to design breakout scenes for her.

She used her own brain and talent to forcefully create her own compelling topics.
