Tong Su has been on the trending topics list three times.
The first time was when her real identity was exposed; the second time was when Lu Zhiyang stood up for her when the whole internet was mocking her; and the third time was when "Susu Youtong" shop opened and Shang Meng and others personally advertised for her on Weibo.
But no matter what, her fame was only so-so. Even if she made it to the top of the trending searches, it was just a flash in the pan, and soon she was forgotten by netizens.
Compared to any new star heavily promoted through marketing and massive spending, they are worlds apart.
For example, this time, Shao Yaya's 25th birthday concert.
"Shao Yaya, a rising star in original music! A rising star attracting much attention in the industry!"
"A strong contender for next year's Global Chinese Pop Music Awards' Best New Artist!"
"Amidst the decline of my country's music scene, a talented young female original musician is rising, poised to revitalize everything!"
Almost overnight, all sorts of marketing articles appeared on Weibo, all praising and exclaiming, with marketing accounts unanimously praising Shao Yaya's musical talent.
The fan leaders guided Shao Yaya's fans to gradually release photos of the concert online in a structured manner.
On the stage, brightly lit by neon lights, Shao Yaya sang and danced in a gorgeous costume, while fans waved their light sticks and glow sticks, creating a sea of stars.
Online, fans were even more excited and frenzied.
The Shao family is a wealthy and prestigious family, and Shao Yaya is a high-status heiress. The company she signed with is very supportive of her, and she also has a wide social circle thanks to her father's connections. She has many admirers, and everyone is happy to give her some face.
This overwhelming marketing campaign completely dominated Weibo's homepage, making Tong Su's previous minor fame pale in comparison.
Seeing that Shao Yaya's concert was dominating the trending topics, Tong Su didn't care at all. Instead, she stayed in the kitchen and started working on her new recipes.
【Oh my god, miss! How could you let her release that? Isn't that your song? She promoted it first, and if you sing it too, wouldn't that be plagiarism?】
She had just jotted down her brilliant new culinary idea in her notebook when she heard a soft, panicked scream.
Tong Su was overjoyed: "666, you're back?"
[Yes! Hey there, I'm back! I've completed my promotion and upgraded the system. You can access the headquarters' mission forum anytime—ah, no, that's not the point. The point is, how did you get her to post the music?]
666 flew out, its green code body becoming much more solid, turning into a shadow that vaguely resembled a small person.
It has three heads, chubby arms and legs, and a deep green shadow. The darkest color on its head is indistinguishable from the green on its body; it's hard to tell if that vibrant green is its hair or a hat it's wearing...
"Since you knew Shao Yaya would steal your song, why did you let her release it?" it asked pitifully, racking its brains for a guess, "Or did you already have this planned in advance, Miss?"
Tong Su just smiled.
Tonight, she plans to make a dish called "Braised Lake Duck" for her live stream. To ensure a smooth filming process and to score points in the lucky draw, she plans to make it in advance to taste it first.
The fresh duck had already been slaughtered and cleaned. She prepared a marinade with scallions, ginger, and cooking wine to remove any fishy smell.
666 guessed: [Did you film her stealing? Or did you already have original material prepared, or perhaps you sang this song somewhere before reporting her after Shao Yaya's official release?]
