But Ye Wanxing is an exception.

When she first debuted and became famous, she had a friendly personality and loved to interact and chat with her early fans on Weibo, often replying to their comments in the comment section.

Later, her popularity soared, and her fan base grew to tens of millions. Seeing that she was usually calm and measured and never posted controversial content online, the company team did not forcefully take back her account.

Aside from the business promotions that must be released according to the contract schedule, which are handled by the publicity staff, most of the daily management permissions for the account remain on her own mobile phone.

When she wants to record everyday trivialities like eating, drinking, and using the toilet, she always obediently switches to a private account that no one knows about.

But today, while signing the contract, I was so dizzy and confused that I accidentally caused such a big mess while using the toilet.

What made her feel even more guilty was that she was, after all, a public figure whose every move was magnified infinitely.

This Weibo post completely exposed their store name and packaging. If it's not deleted, it could bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to Boss Lin, and even attract a group of internet celebrities who want to follow the trend and harass them.

She genuinely liked the food Lin Fan made and knew well that Lin Fan valued skill above all else and didn't care about fame.

She would feel especially guilty if her unintentional mistake disturbed the peace of that little shop.

After listening to her suggestion, Sister Hui on the other end of the phone decisively rejected it:

"Don't delete it!"

Sister Hui's tone on the phone was very serious, and she directly analyzed the pros and cons:

"You posted it almost twenty minutes ago, and screenshots are everywhere online. Deleting the post now won't help at all."

"If you frantically delete your Weibo posts now, all sorts of marketing accounts and gossip paparazzi will immediately seize on the evidence and write articles saying that you 'deleted your posts out of guilt' or 'were caught illegally promoting a snack shop.'"

"In that case, people will think you have some shady dealings with that little shop, and it will attract countless paparazzi to come to Jiangcheng specifically to investigate us!"

Sister Hui paused for a moment, then continued:

"If you don't delete it, and just leave it there openly, along with the film's poster, people will at most think it's just a cute foodie's daily life, where a top star is too tired from work and accidentally posted it to the wrong account."

"Fans enjoy watching it, while casual viewers find you down-to-earth."

"Don't do anything unnecessary right now. Immediately forward the official character poster for 'The Female General' that the production company requested, and include all the necessary captions. Don't say a single unnecessary word!"

"Okay, I understand," Ye Wanxing replied.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanxing didn't dare to delay. She immediately opened Weibo, found the official post from the film's production company, 【@Movie Female General Officer Weibo】, clicked to forward it, and posted the standard promotional slogan "Wearing armor and wielding weapons, with warhorses neighing" verbatim.

After posting the poster, she switched back to the post with four food photos and took a look.

The number of reposts and comments is still climbing rapidly at a rate of thousands per second.

The entire internet is discussing "Lin's Shop," and major entertainment bloggers and food influencers have even started frantically tagging local Jiangcheng netizens in the comments section to dig up the address.

Ye Wanxing looked at the photo of the golden-brown, juicy pan-fried buns, sighed helplessly, and placed her phone on the bedside table.

The matter has already blown up, and now there's nothing she can do but listen to Sister Hui's advice to handle it calmly.

……

At the same time, in Jiangcheng, on Phoenix Golden Street.

At 6:30 p.m., night had already enveloped the entire old street.

Although the snowstorm had stopped, the sub-zero temperatures still left thick, hard ice on the roads.

The heavy, antique-style wooden doors of the Lin family shop were already locked from the inside, and several warm yellow chandeliers shone in the lobby, keeping out the cold outside.

Next to the sink in the kitchen, Lin Fan had just cooked two simple home-style dishes.

A plate of stir-fried purple jade bamboo shoots with shredded pork, a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic and tomatoes, and a large bowl of freshly cooked, steaming hot Lingquan fish soup.

Lin Fan carried the dishes out of the kitchen and placed them on the small square table next to the bar.

"Xiaoxiao, bring Tuantuan over to wash her hands and eat." Lin Fan pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Here you are!"

Su Xiaoxiao held the hand of Tuantuan, who had just woken up, and carefully washed her little hands by the sink before sitting the little girl in her special high chair.

Lin Yi served four bowls of rice and laid them out in order.

The four people sat around a small table.

Tuantuan held a small wooden spoon in her hand, eating a mouthful of rice and a sip of fresh fish soup, her little mouth glistening with oil.

While shoveling rice into her mouth, Su Xiaoxiao placed her phone beside her and casually opened the local trending topics list for Jiangcheng.

She had simply been checking the Jiangcheng University forum out of habit to see what was going on regarding the final exams.

But as soon as she clicked into the Weibo trending topics page, Su Xiaoxiao's chopsticks trembled violently, and she almost spat out the rice in her mouth.

She rubbed her eyes hard, thinking it was just a double image on her phone screen.

The number one trending topic: [#YeWanxing posted pictures of pan-fried buns#]

Second on the trending search list: [#What kind of amazing little shop is Lin's Shop?#]

The third trending topic: [#Seeking locals in Jiangcheng to provide the location of Lin's Shop#]

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and breathlessly shoved her phone in front of Lin Fan:

"Lin...Brother Lin! Something terrible has happened! Our store is trending on social media!"

Lin Fan picked up a piece of tender winter bamboo shoot with his chopsticks and put it into Tuantuan's bowl, his expression unchanged, without even lifting his eyelids:

"What's trending?"

"Ye Wanxing, a top-tier celebrity!"

Su Xiaoxiao was so excited that she stood up abruptly, her fingers flying across the screen: "She just posted on Weibo, showing off all the pan-fried buns, beef brisket noodles, and soy milk you made!"

"They even photographed the small seal script characters of our store name on the takeout boxes so clearly! Now the whole internet is trying to find out our store's exact location!"

Lin Fan put down his chopsticks and glanced calmly at the screen.

The dark green lunchbox, the golden and crispy pan-fried buns that ooze juice when bitten into, and the thin noodles topped with large chunks of snow-capped beef in the photo are indeed the dishes he packed and took away from the kitchen this morning.

Lin Fan remained completely calm, picked up the bowl, took a sip of fish soup, and spoke in a flat tone:

"It really is from our store. She paid for the food, ate it, and then wanted to post something about it online, which is perfectly normal. Eat your food; it doesn't taste good when it's cold."

"Brother Lin! This isn't an ordinary customer, it's Ye Wanxing! A top-tier celebrity with over 50 million fans!"

Su Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in frustration, pointing at the rapidly increasing number of comments on the screen:

"Look, Brother Lin! All the local food bloggers in Jiangcheng are posting videos on Jin Street right now!"

"Many netizens from other places are posting photos of their high-speed rail and plane tickets to Wuhan tomorrow morning!"

"The line outside tomorrow morning will probably be several times longer than it is today!"
