Chapter 1020: Numb

As soon as the announcement was released, Ye Wanxi's twenty-odd fan groups all went wild.

[A peace charm? Is it the peace charm I've been thinking about?]

[Isn't that the lucky charm that went viral before, the one that could even stop bullets from hijackers on a plane?]

[To clarify, it doesn't mean it can stop bullets, but rather it increases your own luck buff. Specifically, if someone shoots at you, there's a high chance it will explode (just kidding).)

[Holy crap, this is a lifesaver! I want to buy it, I want to buy it! It's only 100 yuan apiece, I'm going to get one for everyone in my family!]

[It's said that this little leaf talisman is incredibly popular; many people in the industry want it, and one costs 100,000 yuan. Now they're selling it to us for only 100 yuan—it's truly... a fire sale price.]

[For 100 yuan, you can't go wrong! It can stop a bullet, save your life, and you can even get the same style as Xiaoyezi! Sisters, what are you waiting for?]

[Why only call the sisters? There are brothers too! If it weren't for the purchase limit of one per person, I would have bought them all, okay? One hundred yuan each, just thinking about it makes me feel bad for Xiaoyezi.]

[This isn't about whether it's a loss or not, sisters. Think about how many people are in our group, and how many are in other groups. Not to mention the ones our relatives had to pay for, just the one they gave us for free must have cost tens of thousands. I feel so sorry for Xiaoyezi's hand.]

[I just asked our agent, and it turns out that Xiao Yezi saw the sarcastic comments about us online and, considering how chaotic things are these days, realized we might actually run into danger at any time. That's why she took the time to give us this treat. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if we miss it, there might not be another chance.]

[I'm so touched! Xiao Yezi is so busy, yet she still thinks of us. Enough said, tell us how to buy it, my wallet is already itching to spend!]

The announcement that appeared in the fan group received a warm response, and most of the people who joined the group were die-hard fans of Ye Wanxi.

After becoming a fan of Ye Wanxi, I realized that other people's fans do all sorts of things to boost sales and organize themselves to deal with public opinion storms. They are like they are on steroids.

However, everyone in their family is incredibly lazy; often, before they even have a chance to take any action, the problem is already solved.

Ye Wanxi has taken on fewer endorsements in the past two years, and most of them are high-end luxury brands such as Katherine. Even if they have the money to help boost sales, they may not be able to buy them.

As a result, despite being fans of Ye Wanxi for so long, all they managed to get were a few magazines and some albums and merchandise from Ye Wanxi's friends in the industry. They truly experienced the frustration of not being able to spend their money.

Therefore, as Ye Wanxi's fans, even though most people don't believe that this amulet is as effective as the legend says, they are still willing to treat it as a task that fans need to complete to boost sales and fulfill the idol's endorsement performance.

This was originally just a celebration for Ye Wanxi's fans, but it was unexpectedly screenshotted and posted by someone with ulterior motives, causing another huge uproar.

Selling amulets in a group chat at a time like this? Doesn't that constitute promoting feudal superstition?

This isn't just promoting feudal superstition; it's profiting from the national crisis and raising funds for personal gain—isn't that illegal? Why isn't anyone going to report it?

[Hilarious! Charging 100 yuan for a single yellow talisman, that's a million yuan for 10,000 people! They're really daring. Are they planning to use that kind of money to buy themselves a coffin?]

[That's why they say it's easy to make money off celebrities. It's obviously a scam, yet so many brainless fans are willing to pay their "intelligence tax." It's hopeless.]

[That's not entirely true. It was said to be a fan service, so it's a willing exchange. Some people don't need to be so sour.]

Ye Wanxi's fans never expected that there was an undercover agent in the group who screenshotted the picture and used it to generate buzz. Seeing the screen full of comments mocking them and Ye Wanxi, they were so angry that they wanted to tear these keyboard warriors and trashy marketing accounts apart.

However, before they could even take action, several CEOs of large corporations emerged, forwarding the post and tagging their fan clubs.

Mingqi Group [V]: Is it too late to join the fan club now? Please give me a chance (please) (please) @Ye Wanxi Fan Club

Bai's Pharmaceuticals [V]: Please give me a chance (please) (please) @Ye Wanxi Fan Club // @Mingqi Group [V]: Is it too late to join the fan circle now? ...

Jiang's Jewelry [V]: Please give me a chance (please) (please) @Ye Wanxi Fan Club // Bai's Pharmaceutical [V]: …… // @Mingqi Group [V]: ……

Feng Group [V]: Young Madam, can you give us a back door since we're family? (Grinning face) (Grinning face) @Ye Wanxi Fan Club

...

In less than half an hour, at least a dozen large companies forwarded the message and expressed their desire to join the group. The long list of companies made onlookers who accidentally clicked in almost think they had stumbled into a job fair hosted by some of the top 100 companies.

Ye Wanxi's fans: "..." I'm totally speechless!

Keyboard warriors who mocked Ye Wanxi's fans: "..." This is really embarrassing.

Of course, this is not the whole story. Compared to these high-profile large companies, there are also some cunning small businesses that no longer tag Ye Wanxi's fan club online, but instead send them private messages to inquire about the requirements for joining the group, and even subtly indicate that they can pay for a spot.

The fans of the fan club were speechless. It was the first time they had ever seen so many big names scrambling to join their fan group. It was so awesome!

Zheng Yiqian is the group owner of Ye Wanxi's fan group 5, and also a member of the central management group.

After receiving the message from Gao Min, she actively helped Gao Min distribute the message to every group, answered questions for fans who still had doubts, and helped them register so that the amulets could be distributed later.

As the group leader and one of the key management members, Zheng Yiqian received the news earlier than others and had the opportunity to purchase amulets sooner.

Without hesitation, after submitting screenshots as evidence from her fans, she not only received her own amulet, but also spent 1,000 yuan to order ten more amulets based on the number of family members.

Her family is a large one, with her parents, grandparents, younger brother and sister, older brother and sister-in-law, and their two children all living together.

Because we live in the same city, the amulet arrived that afternoon.

When Zheng Yiqian brought the talismans home and distributed them to her family, she didn't hide anything. She said that she bought all of them herself. Apart from the one that was free for her, the rest cost 100 yuan each. They were all hand-drawn by her idol and had the effect of warding off evil and ensuring safety.

As expected, Zheng's mother angrily scolded her for being cheated and even helping the cheater count the money, spending so much money to buy such a useless thing.

Although her brother and sister-in-law didn't say it, Zheng Yiqian could tell from the way they looked at her that they felt the same way as her mother, that they had been cheated and wasted money.
