Almost at the same time.
The "Liang Beibei" program team had just finalized the name subtitles when, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of accounts descended upon the live stream like a swarm of locusts, flooding the screen with comments that swept across the entire venue!
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... Am I really not awake yet?]
I'm so shocked I can't even speak... Please allow me to process this...
I never dared to dream that it would be the Huo family…
[Our Chaochao… Huo Qin's father? The Huo family?? You mean the Huo family, which occupies the center of B City, owns over ten skyscrapers, boasts top-notch security, and forms its own premier high-end business district, and is incredibly wealthy and powerful?!]
[Ugh, everyone, slow down! I'm dizzy from all the words!]
I'm not dizzy from words, I'm short of breath...
[Just a humble question from an ordinary person: What level is the Huo family exactly? Are they very powerful?]
To call them "powerful" seems inadequate; among China's top wealthy families, the Huo family holds absolute dominance.
[I know!!! Listen to me! I followed the whole story. When the big news broke last night, people were jokingly guessing which wealthy family it was. That's right... it's one of those three or four families that were excluded but stand at the very top of the pyramid... The world is just so unpredictable.]
[Sounds amazing... but isn't there a more concrete way?! I still haven't actually eaten a hot .]
Let me tell you this: from the high-quality brand-name daily necessities you are familiar with, to real estate, biomedicine, and even the advanced core chip technology that leads China, all belong to the Huo Group's industries. Its business empire covers almost all industries. If the Huo Group were to collapse, the entire society would be shaken.
Holy crap!
[Holy crap ×]
The person upstairs is right. To put it simply, the Huo family could become the richest family in China next year.
[Tch, they act all high and mighty, how come they're not the richest person in the world?]
[Um... because the Huo family allocates 5% of the group's total profits to charity every year! Oh, I think it was recently increased to 8%, and it's all transparent... that's at least 10 zeros, you know? And that doesn't even include the current chairman Huo Qin's independent personal businesses... adding that in, it'll easily surpass them, okay?]
[Addendum: He's been the richest man in China several times in recent years; whether he keeps the title or not depends entirely on his mood (lights a cigarette) (a true insider)]
[I came from the press conference to pay my respects to the big shot!! The value of the Huo's stock that I bought ten years ago is still steadily rising, and with the launch of the Whale Mo3, I expect it to rise even more, so I excitedly bought the new car outright! I came here to thank my benefactors who have provided for my livelihood for the rest of my life! <Hands in prayer.jpg> (So happy to have ordered a Whale Mo3)]
Oh right, the Xie Group is also involved in the technology research and development this time. I'll buy their stock now to support them.
[Wow, this robot can even download Chaochao's voice pack! That's like being able to bring Chaochao home! Order now! Only 200,000!]
[What a coincidence! My boyfriend was at the press conference. As soon as I heard it was an exclusive product authorized by Chaochao, I immediately transferred money to him to order one for me, haha! Although I'm not as rich as my boyfriend's family, I still have a little money.]
[I came from the press conference to pay homage to this big shot~~... Holy crap, how come I've never seen this handsome guy before??]
[After following this story for so long, even the fans are shocked...]
[So my kid really is... a rich heiress? ...Isn't this just a wish-fulfillment story? (Chao Chao's mom is already in a daze after slapping the hater)]
Is it too late for me to join you? There's no other reason than you're all so rich! (Father Huo is so handsome!) I've never seen anything like it before (Father Huo is so handsome!) It makes me feel so safe (Father Huo is freaking handsome!!)
In some unnoticed corner, the group of accounts I blocked have already quietly disappeared and gone without a trace.
Less than a day later, it went viral again, a massive and dramatic explosion on the trending topics list.
#ChaoChao's father appears, Huo Qin#
Who is Huo Qin?
#Huo's Group#
#WhaleMo3 Launch Event: A Groundbreaking Breakthrough#
#On the blood relationship between Huo Qin, Chao Chao, and Jiang Chi#
#ChaoChao's original name was Huo ChaoChao#
#JiangChiResourceGuy#
The comment sections of the program's live broadcast room, Liang Beibei's official Weibo account, and Huo's Group's official account have all been flooded with comments.
The live stream room of Chaochao was flooded with over 1,000 comments per second, setting a new record for popularity across the three seasons of the variety show.
Liang Beibei's official Weibo account is currently being bombarded by a terrifying number of fans and haters.
The most vocal critics were the trolls who were furious. They actually wanted to cyberbully the "passerby" who broke the news last night. They blamed him for being vague and using misleading language, making them, who were unaware of the situation, a tool. He had already deleted his account and disappeared, leaving them with nowhere to even hurl insults!
Haters are still accusing the show's producers of taking bribes from capitalists just to create hype and launch the "princess" (a term used to describe a spoiled, exploitative celebrity) into stardom! They're calling them "resource-backed" stars! Both siblings are! Jiang Chi, backed by a wealthy family, debuted as a top star – a confirmed case of resource-backed stardom!
They pointed and cursed at people, their frenzied and mad appearance resembling the last gasp of a dying person.
Some angry and annoyed fans also started cursing.
What are you cursing about?
"Chaochao's father—Huo Qin, the current chairman and CEO of Huo's Group, the former youngest richest man in China, the third richest man in the world, with a net worth of trillions, richer than a country!"
"Is this how you introduce it? You dare to just give us six words? Do you think we fans are some kind of idiot?!"
"The Huo family is still Liang Beibei's biggest investor this season, and this is how you serve your sugar daddy?! You're utterly pathetic!!"
"How dare you, production team! You've repeatedly and openly swindled the big investor's money! You're asking for trouble!"
"..."
Compared to the haters who were so angry they broke down, the fans' angry words seemed more like a way of saying "I love you even when I'm being mean" or "I'm just looking for trouble."
The show's official Weibo account, caught in a pincer movement like an Oreo, was left speechless.
I dare not speak, I really dare not speak, for fear that if I open my mouth I will be pried open and soaked in milk.
