Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 72 - 71: Going Viral, Accidentally Trending

"Why are you all staring at ?" Luo Yue asked, her gaze filled with confusion. At this mont, she had no idea of the impending crisis.

But Ye Ling was now looking at Luo Yue with a very unfriendly expression.

’This little brat actually ate the lobster my darling peeled for !’

’And the worst part is, after eating it, she has the nerve to ask what’s wrong?’

Ye Ling decided it was ti to let this girl experience the hardships of the mortal world!

RING RING RING—

Just as Ye Ling was about to teach Luo Yue a lesson, his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Wei Kun!

"Hmph. I’ll let you off the hook for now, you little brat."

Ye Ling snorted and answered the call.

"Young Master Ye, the video you sent has been edited and sent to your email."

Wei Kun’s voice on the other end of the line held a trace of respect.

"That fast?"

Ye Ling was a little surprised to hear this.

When he sent the video to Wei Kun today, it was basically already the end of the workday. He had originally thought he wouldn’t get the video until tomorrow at the earliest.

He hadn’t expected Wei Kun to be so efficient.

"Thanks for the trouble, President Wei."

Ye Ling exchanged a few simple pleasantries before hanging up and opening WeChat to take a look.

Sure enough, Wei Kun had already sent him the edited video.

Ye Ling didn’t watch the video right away. Instead, he first transferred 20,000 yuan to Wei Kun, leaving a ssage telling him to split it evenly among the guys who edited the video.

This was all part of the subtle art of dealing with people.

Since Wei Kun had managed to get the video processed and sent to him this late, it ant his team must have worked overti... And when your subordinates work overti, you have to show so appreciation.

Otherwise, who would be willing to work so hard for you?

"It’s done already?"

Ning Ruoxi looked over, and her expression was one of surprise when she saw the video from Wei Kun.

"Yeah."

Ye Ling nodded.

Hearing this, the little rascal Luo Yue also ca over, and the three of them watched the video together.

It had to be said, the team Wei Kun found was truly skilled. The difference between the finished product and the previous rough cut was like night and day.

This was sothing all three of them felt unanimously.

After returning ho, Ye Ling had Ning Ruoxi post the video on the Douyin account she had registered earlier.

The mont the video was posted, its popularity exploded.

First, the video itself was high-quality—it had substance and good looks, making it very appealing. On top of that, with Douyin’s covert traffic boost, it seed like the video appeared on almost everyone’s feed...

In less than ten minutes, it had already broken a hundred thousand views, and the likes instantly surpassed ten thousand.

Within ten minutes of its release, the video went straight to the trending page!

Even though Ning Ruoxi had ntally prepared herself, she couldn’t help but gasp as she felt her phone vibrating nonstop, stunned by the terrifying rate of growth.

Judging by the results, the "help" Wei Kun had provided was much more than just opening a small back door; he had practically dumped a torrent of traffic directly onto the video!

"HOLY SHIT, this girl is sooooo beautiful, ahhh! I’m falling in love again!"

"Woman, rember your number: 939949!"

"It’s about that ti of night to get emo on NetEase Cloud Music... huh? This girl, I’m in love."

"Waaaah, I’ll admit it. I’m just a certified pervert."

"What’s with all the comnts above? Can’t you guys pay attention to the guy? That guy is super handso too!"

"Sisters, I agree, that guy is so hot!"

"Waahhh, public display of affection! I’m being buried in a tidal wave of PDA!"

"Hm? ’Lingxi’s Love’? What’s that? A new manhua? I’ll go follow it~~~"

...

As the view count skyrocketed, the comnts section instantly blew up. In a flash, the number of comnts reached the thousands!

For a new Douyin account, this rate of growth should have been impossible.

But tonight, it was really happening!

About half an hour after the video was posted, the view count shot past the one million mark!

Two million...

Three million...

Five million...

The views just kept climbing, showing no signs of stopping!

"Looks like all the pervs are night owls."

Ye Ling muttered to himself. It was almost midnight, but the traffic seed even more intense than during the day!

About two hours after the video was posted, its view count successfully reached ten million!

"Sister Ruoruo, Sister Ruoruo, you’re on the hot search!"

At that mont, Luo Yue excitedly ran into Ning Ruoxi’s room, pointing at her tablet.

Ye Ling looked, and sure enough, ’Lingxi’s Love’ had appeared in bold red letters on the top-ten hot search list!

And its rank was still climbing!

"Chouchou, is this real? Pinch !"

Ning Ruoxi turned her beautiful eyes to Ye Ling, her face a mask of disbelief.

She really felt like she was dreaming!

"Ow, that hurts!"

Just then, Luo Yue, who was standing to the side, suddenly cried out.

It turned out that when Ye Ling heard Ning Ruoxi’s request, he hadn’t pinched Ning Ruoxi, but had pinched Luo Yue instead.

"Ruoruo told you to pinch her, so why did you pinch !?"

Luo Yue shot Ye Ling an infuriated glare.

Ye Ling said coolly, "It would hurt my heart to pinch her."

’It would hurt my heart to pinch her... but it doesn’t hurt my heart to pinch you!’

At that mont.

Our little comrade Luo Yue once again felt over ten thousand points of critical damage~

Logically speaking, even with the Douyin platform secretly boosting the video’s traffic, it shouldn’t have been explosive enough to shoot straight into the top ten on Weibo’s hot search.

The main reason was that the video’s content was genuinely good. Many people comnted that it reminded them of their own youthful, bygone school days.

Plus, most Douyin users are suckers for good looks, and Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi’s appearances played perfectly into that...

As a result, almost everyone was talking about the video.

"It looks like ’Lingxi’s Love’ is going to be released at the Shengding Group art exhibition in a week. I’m buying a ticket to Modu right now!"

"I’m going too, I’m going too! Waaaah, I hope I can see the guy from the video there. Does anyone know his na?"

"Stop embarrassing yourself, person above. The guy is mine!"

"If you’re all fighting over the guy, then I’ll go for the girl! Miss, what color burlap sack do you prefer?"

"I’ve already got a pink one ready!"

"Sigh, seeing this reminds of my old self. I used to be this confident too, with a smile on my face, but now..."

"The person above is deep in their NetEase Cloud Music feels!"
