Chapter 003 Chapter 3
At 5:40 in the morning, Zhou Xiao ate toast mechanically with his eyes narrowed. He opened his phone, looked at the red 99+ on the APP, and clicked on it.
There was a slight delay in entering the page, but when she entered it, she suddenly woke up. This data?
She clicked on the background of the website, and the number of fans at this time had increased from a few scattered fans given by the system to 674! The background was basically full of private messages such as "Ji Shao is so handsome" and "Xindong sister is so good at editing". There were even many people asking if they could take photos for them and hoping that Zhou Xiao could see the private messages of their own brothers.
Zhou Xiao opened the system interface. He hadn't used his popularity card yet. How could his popularity be so high?
It wasn't that Zhou Xiao was being self-deprecating, but while the show had been well-promoted and discussion was starting to build, it was still just beginning. Ji Shao wasn't a contestant with a pre-existing fan base. Zhou Xiao had even looked up his information yesterday, only to learn that he was a trainee at New Town, but nothing more.
Moreover, although Xincheng is a leading comprehensive entertainment company in China, the artists under the company are not involved in the idol sector.
Even Ji Shao's super topic was jointly opened by several girls who were offline yesterday. The people who were waiting for Ji Shao with Zhou Xiao were the girls who Qi Sisi told Zhou Xiao that they didn't see him the night before and came to wait again the next day.
The name Ji Shao was obtained thanks to the fact that a few people found the name tag Ji Shao had stuck on his waist among the random photos he took.
Zhou Xiao was speechless when he learned about this situation. Good guy, he knew to start from scratch, but this was too much of a struggle.
Even the foundation had just been built, so she didn't rush to use the exposure card [hot exposure card: current hotness * 1000 times, circle placement can be selected] after uploading the photo. The public didn't know Ji Shao yet, and although the multiple was high, the algorithm was still quite smart. It would be meaningless if the popularity didn't rise.
She clicked on the post in the background that mentioned herself and found that it was basically from a blog post.
——A certain blog——
[Retweeted 5000+] @Internet Level 10 Star Chaser V: Godly face! //@瓜田吃个瓜V: Some netizens noticed that fans of the twice-cooked pork king Quan took Ji Shao and...
【Slurp slurp】
[Oh my god, so handsome, such a simple and handsome guy]
[Why does he only have one website? This is unscientific!]
【Family members @Flipped 悸然心动·Ji Shao, this fangirl only posted one picture (ㄒoㄒ)】
[Am I the only one who noticed? The guy's shirt is pink!]
[Back upstairs, I noticed it too]
[Class A, that looks like a talented person.]
…
Zhou Xiao looked at the data, her heart aching. Should she seize the opportunity to make a splash? Use the heat card? But she quickly suppressed the thought. After all, the "landlord" didn't have any surplus food. Besides, she was planning to go to Huashang Times Square again today to squat and take a few more photos.
After opening the system interface, Zhou Xiao discovered that the task of [obtaining 1,000 fame points for the first blog post] had been completed. She collected the reward. Even though the system had told her that the reward was generous, and even though she knew the system wanted her to concentrate on filming, she was still stunned when she saw the reward.
[System Task: Earn 1000 Popularity Points (1/1) for your first blog post, and receive a five-month stay in the Presidential Suite at the Huashang Hotel.] This... Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone, right? Zhou Xiao thought.
She looked around and saw that the rental house was filled with many pieces of furniture that she had purchased online one after another. Some of them had hardly been used since they were bought, such as the sandwich maker that was placed in the corner of the kitchen and had only been used twice.
When Zhou Xiao first bought it, she thought she'd make herself a sandwich every day, but due to frequent overtime work, she rarely used it. It's a shame, as it's a collaboration with her favorite anime...
Zhou Xiao got in the taxi and looked at the rewards issued by the system. She felt that the system was really anxious. Arranging a hotel for her near the program could save a lot of time*, and the additional facilities of the hotel could fully meet her daily needs, so that she could chase stars without worries.
Zhou Xiao returned to the app and saw that the data of the blog post was still increasing. As of now, the blog post had been forwarded nearly 6,000 times.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, did you open that heart-pounding website?" Qi Sisi was originally leaning against the wall playing with her mobile phone. She saw Zhou Xiao walking towards the door out of the corner of her eye, so she immediately trotted over and whispered in her ear.
Zhou Xiao nodded. When she took pictures of Ji Shao yesterday, everyone saw her camera, so she was not surprised that Qi Sisi could guess that it was her under the skin of the heart-pounding person.
Qi Sisi shook Zhou Xiao's arm in surprise, showing off Ji Shao on her phone screen. She said to Zhou Xiao, "Ji Shao's super topic has attracted many fans, but it's all filled with your photo."
Looking at Qi Sisi, whose face was flushed with excitement, Zhou Xiao felt that she was really cute and innocent.
It was still early, and Zhou Xiao looked at the people around her and found that there were even more people than yesterday. She even saw... saw the banner handed to her?
A bored girl, fanning herself with a stack of banners, noticed Zhou Xiao's gaze. She swallowed, then hurriedly stood up, pulled out two banners, and handed them to Zhou Xiao and Qi Sisi, saying, "I made these myself." She pointed to the front and back of the banners, which bore the names of Chu Cheng and Xiang Rui.
The girl handing out the banners was called Xu Wenjing. Her face flushed slightly. Seeing that the two seemed interested, she ignored her shyness and told Zhou Xiao and Qi Sisi calmly that she was a fan of Chu Cheng and Xiang Rui's team in Neon. She had set up a fan page with a few of her friends to support them and recommended them to them.
After Zhou Xiao thanked Xu Wenjing and took the banner, she saw several figures appear at the end of the road. She pointed inside and said to the two of them, "They're coming out. Let's go to the door."
"Wu Yanyan", "Yan Shu", "Baby look over here", "Chu Cheng", "Xiang Rui", Zhou Xiao's ears rang with everyone's shouting like shouting in a microphone again, but the trainee who appeared did not seem to be among the people's acquaintances. After seeing that it was an unfamiliar trainee, everyone stopped shouting.
From Zhou Xiao's angle, he could see a few trainees inside who were a little disappointed when they found that their names were not called, but they regained their composure, waved in their direction, and headed towards the training room.
This is actually normal. There is no way around it. Zhou Xiao can understand that most of the girls standing at the door waiting come with a purpose.
Those who have no purpose, such as Qi Sisi, will not shout at all, but will simply look at the handsome guys, and sometimes give up the better seats to those in need.
Another point is that many of the trainees today did not have name tags, which meant that some people couldn't call out their names even if they were interested.
The sound of footsteps came again at the end of the road. Zhou Xiao saw Ji Shao among the crowd at a glance. What surprised her was that there were voices calling "Ji Shao" nearby, and there was more than one, and they were all unfamiliar faces she had never seen before.
Zhou Xiao, feeling inexplicably happy, raised his camera and pointed it at Ji Shao. The young man walked with his head down and talked to his companions. When he heard his name being called, he raised his eyes and looked at the crowd gathered outside the door.
Zhou Xiao looked at the young man on the screen who looked up at the camera and was stunned.
If it weren't for the high-tech camera produced by the system, her hands would have almost trembled the moment the boy suddenly raised his eyes.
The screams in her ears also reflected the reality that everyone was struck by the beauty filter. Seeing the even more enthusiastic crowd, Ji Shao put his hands together and put them to his mouth to thank everyone. The boy's sincerity seemed particularly good. The noise of the crowd gradually stopped after they left.
"So cute", "Handsome", "He waved at me", "He looks just like in the photo" were the girls who had been very excited discussing this, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Although I didn’t recognize many of the trainees who came out later, I didn’t know whether it was because Ji Shao had already laid the foundation or because everyone was very enthusiastic today, and they all actively interacted with the trainees.
After taking pictures of Ji Shao, Zhou Xiao started packing up. She said hello and goodbye to Qi Sisi and the new girl Xu Wenjing, then walked towards the Huashang Hotel.
Zhou Xiao, who was standing in the lobby at the moment, handed her ID card to the receptionist at the front desk. She took a quick look around and found that the decoration of the Huashang Hotel was indeed very good, as it was worthy of being a hotel with such a large area in Shanghai.
The front desk clerk swiped Zhou Xiao's ID card and looked at her carefully. Zhou Xiao was dressed casually today, with her long black hair braided into a ponytail hanging in front of her chest. Although she was wearing a mask, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were very noticeable. She was wearing a fresh floral dress and a denim jacket.
Zhou Xiao looked at the receptionist in front of him. She stood up, apologized to Zhou Xiao, and waved to the lobby manager who was standing not far away.
She leaned over and explained the situation to the manager, who then turned and smiled at Zhou, "Hello, Ms. Zhou. We've already prepared the presidential suite you reserved. The hotel provides one-on-one butler service and a professional team. If you have any questions, you can call the room number 24 hours a day and we'll handle it for you."
As she spoke, she led Zhou Xiao towards the special elevator, opened the elevator for her and introduced the various services provided by the hotel, which were all included in the room rate.
Zhou Xiao thanked the manager generously. After entering the room, she breathed a sigh of relief. The service was so good... This made her, who had been a social worker not long ago, feel a little flattered...
However, this is worthy of being a presidential suite. In Zhou Xiao's opinion, the facilities here are very rich, even with a gym and a wine cellar. She only spent a few minutes exploring this room. Apart from anything else, the hall is large enough to hold a party for many people.
After Zhou Xiao finished her walk around, she sat on a large, soft, high-end sofa with the river view of Shanghai next to her. She had only one thought in her mind:... This is too big for me to live in alone!
Before lunch, Zhou Xiao called his leader and told him that he wanted to resign. Although his leader tried to persuade him to stay, Zhou Xiao politely refused.
The leader also said that if she wants to come back in the future, she will still be considered for this position. As for the work handover, she will hand it over to another colleague with a similar position next Friday after he returns from a business trip.
Zhou Xiao thought back to his boss's smiling face and the treatment he received, saying he was always busy and had to work overtime every day. He silently crossed himself out.
As for the apartment, she has been renting it for almost a year now, and the contract is about to expire. Now she just needs to tell the landlord that she doesn't want to rent it anymore, and she will lose half a month's rent.
The landlady felt quite sorry when she knew Zhou Xiao was moving out. After all, she had kept the apartment very well and she herself loved cleanliness.
Zhou Xiao also paid a lot for some of the furniture and appliances he had bought for the apartment and sold them on Xianyu, letting them go as they came.
After almost finishing these things, Zhou Xiao leaned back on the comfortable sofa, called out the system interface, and looked at the daily tasks refreshed today.
【System Tasks:
1. Upload a video on the support site (0/1)
2. The first video gets 1000 fame points (0/1)
3. Make Ji Shao's fame value exceed 10,000 (0/1)]
She thought about it and accepted all three tasks. First, there was no time limit for the system task, and second, making Ji Shao's fame value higher and higher was also her main task. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao clicked on the progress bar of the main task. At a glance, it was very good, and the progress was invisible to the naked eye.
She wanted to upload a video today, and she'd already finished editing it. The moment Ji Shao raised his eyes in the video was captivating, even through the screen, and coupled with the perfectly chosen background music, Zhou Xiao had carefully chosen it. The more Zhou Xiao edited, the more she felt her skills improve, like she was getting +1+1 experience points.

@Flipped · Ji Shao: #Ji Shao Super Talk #Unblinking [Video]
Ahh ...
Oh my god, I'll watch it a billion times.
Is this what I can see?! It's so delicious!
【OMG! 】
【!!! 】
【My husband is so sad! 】
…
Zhou Xiao was looking at a video that had not been posted for a long time. Because of the sudden increase in reposts, likes and comments, the app started to jam again.
She opened the super topic and found that before she even posted the video, two new sites had been added to the super topic! Both of these new sites were already open and attracted many surfing netizens to forward them.
Some netizens happened to see the heart-pounding blog post on the super topic, saved the picture and followed the station, and then found this new video when they refreshed the page, and were immediately shocked.
Zhou Xiao looked at the number of fans that kept increasing in the background. Before she released the video, her number of fans had jumped to 1,195, thanks to the fact that her Weibo post last night was still being forwarded and the addition of two new sites.
The number of fans on the site is now - 1231, 1284, 1365, 1490...
Zhou Xiao looked at the increase and decided to use the [Hot Exposure Card] and choose [Entertainment Circle]!
