70: Chapter 70 The Unstoppable Trending Topic

Meanwhile...

Inside a helicopter flying toward Beihu.

Huan Zi quickly brought his phone over to Zhang Tianxiang and said in a low voice, "Minister, Chen Feng is on the trending list again."

"What's going on?"

Zhang Tianxiang couldn't help but rub his temples.

In just one day, that guy had trended five times!

"Does your family own Weibo or something?"

Others have to find numerous bloggers for promotion and put in a lot of effort and resources just to trend, but for this guy, it was as easy as eating a home-cooked meal.

Huan Zi said with a strange expression, "A wealthy tycoon has been tipping female streamers on Douyin. He's tipped over a hundred of them in a row, spending tens of millions.

This has caused all the female streamers to flock to the Douyin platform to broadcast.

Now the entire streaming industry knows about this, and that tycoon has been pushed straight to the top of the trending list!

I checked his details; it's Chen Feng!"

"Take it down first!"

Zhang Tianxiang also had a bit of a headache.

This guy clearly wasn't one to stay quiet.

He wondered if bringing him into the War Department would be a blessing or a curse.

At the same time, he was also very curious.

How exactly did this Chen Feng make his money? He was clearly a poor kid three years ago, so how did he suddenly become a tycoon?

Although the investigation showed that the source of his wealth was perfectly normal...

...it was precisely that normality that felt abnormal to him!

What a headache!

Five minutes later.

Huan Zi came over with his phone again. "Minister Zhang, the Weibo trending topic has been removed, but... he's at the top of the trending list on Zhihu now!"

"Take that down too!"

Zhang Tianxiang suppressed his emotions.

He even hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should still go to Beihu to find Chen Feng.

However...

Compared to Chen Feng's personal abilities...

...this little matter was nothing. "Let's see how many more times you can trend."

Ten minutes later.

Huan Zi ran over again, looking quite helpless. "Minister Zhang, Chen Feng..."

"Trending again? Which list is it this time?"

Zhang Tianxiang was beyond words.

Huan Zi gave a forced smile and said, "This time it's... Baidu... number one!"

"Impressive!"

Zhang Tianxiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"I can't even keep up with taking them down!"

"Forget it, forget it. Just ignore him. It's just a trending topic; it's not a bad thing. How much longer until we reach Beihu?"

"Twenty more minutes!"

Huan Zi replied with a smile.

He could see that this Chen Feng had already worn down the Minister's patience.

Seeing Minister Zhang's internal struggle, he couldn't help but ask, "Minister Zhang, are we still going?"

"We're going! Why wouldn't we?"

Minister Zhang's face darkened.

"I'm almost at his doorstep; am I supposed to turn back now?"

"If word got out, where would I hide my face?"

...

Chen Feng squatted on the ground, continuing to shower gifts.

He didn't know about the Weibo situation, nor did he realize how much influence the account 'Brother Feng' now wielded in the streaming industry.

He just kept going down the list.

If someone was streaming, he tipped; if they thanked him, he tipped again.

It was nothing but tipping, over and over!

He hadn't had time to check how many System Points he had earned in total, but it was certainly a lot.

Just then, his phone rang.

He frowned.

He was forced to pause his tipping.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Mr. Chen, it's me, Xiao Wang from Shark's customer service. You called us half an hour ago. We've already opened the maximum recharge limit for you.

You can recharge at any time without any restrictions."

The voice on the other end was extremely polite.

"No need. I'm not worthy!"

Chen Feng smiled faintly and hung up immediately.

You must be joking!

When I asked you to open it earlier, you mocked me.

Now you know how formidable I am?!

Too late!

On the other end of the line...

Xiao Wang stared at the disconnected call, looking like he was about to cry from anxiety.

He tried calling again.

But it showed he had been blacklisted!

"How did it go?"

The manager asked hurriedly.

Xiao Wang said with a long face, "Mr. Chen said he doesn't need it anymore..."

"You..."

The manager immediately began to curse, "Xiao Wang, you idiot, do you have any idea how much you've screwed up? If you hadn't looked down on Mr. Chen, would he have gone over to Douyin?!"

"Now look what's happened! We haven't just lost half our streamers; those streamers have fans too!"

"Now even their fans have flocked to Douyin!"

"Do you know how much money the company is losing? Can you take responsibility for this?!"

"I..."

Xiao Wang said sheepishly, "Manager, maybe those streamers will come back tomorrow?"

"Bullshit!"

The manager was so angry his lungs felt like they were bursting. "Do you think the people at Douyin are pig-headed like you?"

"You don't think they'll find ways to retain those streamers and new users?"

"Once those people get used to that platform, they'll never come back!"

"Hmph, stay here and reflect on what you've done. Wait for the company's disciplinary action!"

After saying that...

...he left without looking back.

"..."

Xiao Wang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

...

By the basketball court.

A girl finally seemed to notice Chen Feng squatted on the ground, showering gifts.

"Huh? Isn't that Chen Feng?"

"Yeah, he's been making quite a splash lately. He's become a celebrity at our school."

"Wait, what's he doing squatting there? He's not streaming, is he?"

"No way. That tycoon Brother Feng only tips female streamers. Male streamers are ignored, so no one would tip him. There's no point in him streaming."

"Come on, let's go check it out!"

A few girls quietly walked over.

"Oh, he's watching a stream!"

"Oh my god, he's gifting Carnivals! Holy crap, the screen is full of them!"

When the girls saw the name on Chen Feng's account, their mouths fell open, and they were stunned for a long time.

"He... he's actually Brother Feng?!"

"Holy crap, he's that wealthy tycoon, Brother Feng!"

Everyone was shocked!

They were absolutely dumbfounded!

They had never imagined that the 'Brother Feng' who was causing such a stir in the streaming world today was actually their classmate, Chen Feng.

And he was right there next to them!

Oh my god!

This is unbelievable!

Chen Feng is actually a huge tycoon?

At that moment...

Chen Feng suddenly turned his head and gave them a faint smile. "Want some tips? If you have more than a thousand followers, I can tip you."

If they had too few followers, the System Points he earned would be low.

They had to have over a thousand followers; otherwise, it wasn't worth it!

"I have ten thousand followers! I can start a stream!"

"I have twenty thousand followers too!"

The girls all took out their phones and started streaming right there, surrounding Chen Feng.

The news spread instantly.

The other girls nearby who had been hesitating to start streaming immediately took out their phones and joined in.

In this moment...

...every girl at the basketball court was drawn to Chen Feng.

No one was cheering anymore.

They were all surrounding Chen Feng and streaming!

He suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, the most talked-about person in the entire school.

On the basketball court.

The more Zhao Donglai watched, the more annoyed he became.

He slammed the basketball onto the ground with a thud, looking utterly frustrated. "I'm not playing anymore. There isn't even one person cheering. This is so damn boring!"

There were no more spectators left at the basketball court.

It indeed looked deserted!

The look in his eyes as he glared at Chen Feng became increasingly resentful.

He had wanted to show off...

...but he had been upstaged by that kid Chen Feng again!
