Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Minister Song Wants to Like It

Song Baiyan indeed didn’t know much about this kind of social media app.

He spent the first twenty years of his life busy studying, then got admitted to a military academy and had no spare time, later joined the army, spent all day executing missions against drug traffickers, and when he retired, he entered politics. Even having several secretaries, he still had endless governmental affairs to deal with every day.

In Ji Ming’s eyes, his Finance Minister was truly “rooted in purity.”

If not for Miss Tang, the Minister would never have bothered with online matters, especially those concerning the entertainment industry.

Having learned that Miss Tang was an artist under IMG, Ji Ming guessed that the Minister must have asked for a favor from his old classmate; otherwise, how could such coincidences occur?

For instance, others called the Minister, but Miss Tang preferred to text.

Anyone else likely wouldn’t get a response from the Minister.

However, whenever it was Miss Tang’s messages, no matter how busy, the Minister would reply whenever he had a spare moment, just as he had previously thought—to the Minister, Miss Tang was an exception in every aspect.

After Ji Ming left the office, a short while later, Song Baiyan picked up the cellphone from his desk again.

He hadn’t noticed before, but now he found that indeed there was an app store for downloading apps.

He typed keywords into the search bar, and related apps popped up, the first one being the “V Blog” app with the same icon as on Ji Ming’s phone.

After downloading the app, Song Baiyan opened V Blog.

Without needing to search again, “Tang Li/Ying Xuaner” appeared in the search bar; he clicked the nearby “search” icon, and the cellphone interface displayed related V Blog content about “Tang Li/Ying Xuaner.”

The first popular V Blog was a video posted by the official blog of the drama “Original Sin.”

Song Baiyan pressed the play button on the video.

The 30-second video showed a girl dancing in front of the camera. Unlike the soft, slow rhythm, her ballet moves were full of power and speed, more professional and focused than the dance at the base of Guangyuan Temple that night, as if she was a born dancer.

Watching the video, Song Baiyan stretched his left hand, holding a cigarette, toward the ashtray and tapped off some ashes.

After the video ended, he scrolled down.

The V Blog content from netizens was mixed with praise and criticism; besides the dance video and trailers released by the official blog of “Original Sin,” the V Blog post made by the actress Yang Ning also occupied a hot spot.

The home page then automatically refreshed, and Song Baiyan scrolled back to the top.

The video of Tang Li dancing still firmly occupied the top spot.

Below the video, besides options for “favorite,” “repost,” and “comment,” there was also a “thumbs up” icon, presumably what Bai Yiqian referred to as “liking.” Song Baiyan moved his finger over it, pressing his fingertip on the “thumbs up,” but a prompt to log in to the account popped up.

—No V Blog account, no liking.

After the official blog of “Original Sin” posted the video, even though Tang Li didn’t show up herself, aside from the fans and paid trolls of Yang Ning and Lai Yuaner, the stance of other netizens remained neutral, and with the support of a few male artists like Mao Yiming, Tang Li wasn’t made into a villain by the entire internet.

In this matter, Feng Qi advised Tang Li not to publicly respond.

Tang Li trusted Feng Qi’s judgment.

Feng Qi stayed at Mihesha River for two days and, before returning to the Capital, he went to ask Qi Liang for leave on behalf of Tang Li.

Qi Liang, upon learning that Tang Li was auditioning for Zhao Zhenglei’s new film, not only agreed but also gave her three days off.

Tang Li hadn’t expected Qi Liang to be so agreeable.

Since the start of the filming of the movie, no actor had asked for leave, which was somewhat due to Qi Liang’s strictness.
