Chapter 672: Chapter 670: Trending Again
Lin Wanwan naturally couldnât care less about what others thought. She came with Lu Shouyue to the birthday party, so of course, she had to enjoy herself and have fun.
They galloped across the vast prairie of Anxi, and then returned to the campsite at sunset for some outdoor barbecue.
When it comes to barbecue, whether itâs roasted whole lamb or anything else, Lin Wanwan is no longer impressed.
In the Great Tang, the main meat is lamb, and sheâs tired of it.
Luckily, besides the chefs at the guesthouse, Wang Bocheng also invited several chefs from a star-rated hotel, meeting everyoneâs tastes beyond just barbecue.
As night fell, the party got even more festive.
Lin Wanwan mingled with familiar and unfamiliar celebrity faces, while Lu Shouyue was dragged away by his childhood friends to play.
At Wang Bochengâs birthday party, the internet celebrities naturally had to post some videos to get some traffic.
Wang Bochengâs inherent ability to stir drama often has him trending, and this time was no exception.
Lin Wanwan originally didnât like browsing her phone. Sheâs busy studying every day and doesnât have the time to watch boring short videos.
But today, sheâs attending someoneâs party, so she canât just hide away to attend online classes. Besides, even if she wanted to hide, she didnât know where she could hideâit definitely couldnât be the public restroom.
She didnât even know where her room was for tonight; their luggage was taken by the attendants straight from the helicopter since they arrived in the afternoon.
Most of the people attending Wang Bochengâs birthday party arrived the night before.
Lu Shouyue had to accommodate Lin Wanwanâs busy schedule and arranged a private plane for them to arrive this morning.
Now that Lu Shouyue had walked away, Lin Wanwan didnât want to waste time chatting with Chen Jinyu and the others. Sheâs not interested in entertainment gossip and lazy to join in idle conversations, so she just flipped through the phone browsing news and videos.
Smartphones are truly a lifesaver for avoiding social interactionsâway more convenient than the Great Tang!
At Great Tang banquets, there were no smartphones for people to use, so you had to come up with programs to keep things lively: drinking games, singing, dancingâthere were plenty of activities, and you couldnât expect to be a quiet wallflower; the social environment didnât allow it.
But modern times are different: with self-serve outdoor barbecue, small groups gather, each person has a smartphone, and itâs easy to escape socializing.
Seeing Lin Wanwan engrossed in her phone, ignoring others, the ladies gathered around gradually dispersed.
Chen Jinyu and Lin Mengyun also walked away; unlike Lin Wanwan, they hoped to meet more people here!
There are three types of people attending Wang Bochengâs birthday party: those who come from similar backgrounds as him, from the second and third generations; those from investment circles in the entertainment industry; and of course, beautiful men and women from the entertainment and influencer circlesâmostly women.
Their goal at this event wasnât to meet influencers; their biggest target was the bigwig investors, followed by hoping to connect with popular stars.
As for the second and third generations, neither of them were interested at all.
Chen Jinyu had learned from her past setbacks in the circle, while Lin Mengyun grew up with neglect, leading to self-consciousness and self-awareness.
They clearly understand the gap between themselves and the second and third generations. Unless aiming for the possibility of striking it rich and making a match, they wouldnât linger around those people.
Someone like Wang Bocheng, who changes girlfriends frequently, is not someone they have the luxury to play with.
Besides, the second and third generations arenât particularly generous. Only fools would waste time on them. If looking for a benefactor, itâs important to target the investment bigwigs.
With people either leaving or pulling out their phones to pass the time, Lin Wanwan suddenly felt much quieter.
She found a chair to sit, comfortably browsing her phone.
Eventually, she stumbled upon the partyâs trending topic of the day, and surprisingly, there was content about her.
The first post was by Chen Jinyu, with Lin Mengyun sharing it.
It included a few group photos taken earlier when the sky hadnât fully turned dark, with Lin Mengyun and Chen Jinyu dragging her in to take pictures.
Chen Jinyu had some popularity online, but not much; Lin Mengyun is even more obscure, just appearing in various small and large variety shows.
Compared to them, Lin Wanwan had the most traffic.
So even though the photos were posted by Chen Jinyu and shared by Lin Mengyun, the comments on the trending square were mostly focused on Lin Wanwan.
The initial trend of Wang Bochengâs birthday was spontaneous traffic, but the contents of the trending square afterward werenât purely organic.
After all, Wang Bochengâs main investment direction now is the gaming and entertainment industries. His entertainment company needs promotion and naturally has collaborations with Weibo.
He inherently attracts traffic, and leveraging his birthdayâs hype, he spends a bit to get familiar faces from his line of up-and-coming stars onto the trending listâwhy not?
Chen Jinyuâs freezing order was lifted by Wang Bocheng when Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue had a spat.
Now, as an artist under Wang Bochengâs company, she naturally gets some promotional resources.
As for Lin Mengyun, itâs purely incidental.
Although Wang Bocheng invited her over, he didnât plan to make a move on her. Her look is more on the pure side, not his type.
Honestly, Wang Bocheng originally intended to introduce Lin Mengyun to Lu Shouyue, thinking her resemblance to Lin Wanwan might make her a worthy substitute.
But unexpectedly, Lu Shouyue managed to woo Lin Wanwan herself, bringing her to the party, and seeming utterly infatuated, hence putting off this matchmaking idea.
A young person who hasnât datedâseriousness is truly frightening.
He wouldnât dare disturb things, not wanting to face Old Luâs wrath.
Among the group of childhood friends mingling since kindergarten, the focal point is Lu Shouyue.
Not only because Lu Shouyue has the strongest parental background, but also because heâs the smartest, crushing everyone since childhood, venturing into investments as an unbeatable legend, leading them to wealth.
At this moment, looking at the trending squareâs comments about herself, Lin Wanwan was truly exasperated.
Sheâs somewhat of a known influencer.
While her fame comes quickly and disappears quickly, today is differentâbeing associated with dramatic Wang Bocheng and intentionally fueled traffic instantly brought back memories for the netizens.
Completely speechless, in the netizensâ eyes, sheâs labeled as part of Wang Bochengâs harem.
She stood up, scanned the crowd, found Chen Jinyu, and straightforwardly asked her to delete the Weibo post.
Chen Jinyu hesitated, saying, "Wanwan, you really donât need to take it so seriously. Netizensâ comments are just fleeting. If I delete the photos, it might appear as if trying to cover it up."
Even though sheâs not the focus of discussion in the square, the group shot gave her exposure, so naturally, she was reluctant to delete it.
