"Feeling better now?"
"That feels good."
Ji Juntao chuckled dryly, "I was just teasing you, trying to scare you a little. Okay, okay, it's my fault, I won't do that again."
Shang Yechu cried for a full half hour, her eyes swollen like two strawberries, so she had to ask her assistant to bring some ice to soothe them.
The moment Ji Juntao saw Ye Luochen's masterpiece, he knew that Shang Yechu would love this birthday gift. He had intended to surprise Shang Yechu with this gift, but things had gone awry, and now he was here in the middle of the night trying to coax her.
"Did you buy the trending topics?" Shang Yechu was in a good mood and spared Ji Juntao's life for the time being. "You have good eyesight."
Weibo has become a sea of Ye Chu's posts; a quick glance at the trending topics list reveals that you can hardly see any other celebrities' names anymore.

“Some of them were bought by the company, but this one rose to fame naturally.” Ji Juntao shook his finger. “Don’t underestimate your popularity.”
As Shang Yechu instilled eye drops, she murmured, "So, we don't need to do a public relations plan?"
“Pictures can’t compare to videos,” Ji Juntao said. “Especially such a good video. Even I felt a pang of sadness when I saw your characters, let alone casual viewers.”
Shang Yechu didn't believe a word Ji Juntao said. She preferred to believe that Ji Juntao had just eaten too much hot and sour noodles, causing stomach acid.
The clarification plan the company originally prepared for Shang Yechu was actually quite similar to Ye Luochen's video. Shang Yechu, with her exceptional memory, told the company about dozens of works where she had played minor roles, and asked the PR department to collect screenshots from those dramas. She also contributed a few stills, which were inserted to add more detail.
The original clarification material consisted of a large image pieced together from these pictures, with each smaller image labeled with a detailed date.
Whether it's cosmetic surgery or medical aesthetic procedures, a recovery period is required. Except for some non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments, the recovery period for most procedures is more than a week.
Shang Yechu has played so many minor roles, her schedule is almost always full, leaving no time for recovery. The camera has witnessed the natural changes in her face over the past year, the evidence is irrefutable.
Viewers can only choose one of two answers: one, Ye Chu did not have plastic surgery, she just miraculously grew up.
Second, Ye Chu is a slime with powerful regenerative abilities. She undergoes cosmetic surgery every day and completes the recovery period within two hours.
Such a clarification is quite convincing in the Chinese entertainment industry. After all, Shang Yechu has indeed played over two hundred minor roles, a fact that no one can question. With this irrefutable basis, the audience will naturally believe everything else.
Besides, to be honest, does it really matter whether an actor who has worked hard as an extra for hundreds of years has had plastic surgery on his face?
The Chinese entertainment industry is now rife with expressionless characters; watching a TV series is like entering a zoo. Viewers have suffered for far too long. Ye Chu's professional skills are among the best, so naturally she receives more leniency.
Of course, even with Shang Yechu's memories, the employees of Qingping Entertainment nearly went blind from searching through those works every day. They only finished the materials half a minute before the deadline and submitted a barely acceptable final product.
Unexpectedly, before this large image could even be published, Ye Ya beat her to it with a video.
When Shang Ye Chu thought of this, he was filled with emotion.
Qingping Entertainment has both manpower and money. The employees in charge of public relations for Shang Yechu are all graduates of prestigious universities. Ji Juntao has always believed in paying high salaries to support his staff, so he treats them very well.
Qingping Entertainment has the best equipment; any computer can hold all of Shang Yechu's works.
The employees at Qingping Entertainment work together very well, with clear division of labor and extremely high work efficiency.
With Shang Yechu in charge of Qingping Entertainment, Shang Yechu remembers most of the roles he has played and the film crews he has worked for.
And what about Ye Ya? They come from all over the country, with varying ages, family backgrounds, lifestyles, and routines; no one pays them a salary; on the contrary, they have to pay for the videos and storage hard drives themselves; they don't have the ability to remember, they've almost never met each other, let alone collaborated. Their only connection is an internet connection and their love for that being named Ye Chu.
They loved her. So they were willing to sew this armor for her—an armor made up of more than two hundred minor characters from various nooks and crannies.
A bittersweet feeling welled up in Shang Yechu's heart. The sweetness came from happiness, while the bitterness stemmed from guilt. For a long time, she had failed to truly respect them, and had even intentionally ignored them.
"This is much more useful than that lousy picture." Ji Juntao rubbed his hands together excitedly. "It's been retweeted over 100,000 times. How many trending topics would I have to buy to get you so many active fans? Starting as an extra, working hard for three years to become today's star, it's so inspiring and so captivating! This video is worth at least eight figures in PR and publicity fees! I really don't know how to thank them."
