I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments from fans who were both fans of "Wandering Diary" and enthusiastic readers of Zero:

[Hahahaha, what the hell is this called "decisive and efficient"? This is exactly what "decisive and efficient" means!]

[Oh my, the fans specially bought milk tea for Zero with real money, I hope Zero won't refuse it.]

[Alright, alright, alright, after hiding for over a year, you've finally shown yourself. Prepare for the mango's baptism!]

[Your Zero is dead! You got a terminal illness but didn't update Long San, and now you're on variety shows and traveling with celebrities! What makes you so lucky to eat so well?!]

Xu Anan looked at Cheng Che, then at Tian Xiwei who was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and finally her gaze fell on the mango pomelo sago that Cheng Che had just taken out of the takeout bag.

Mango Pomelo Sago?

Zero, under thirty years old, online novelist...

As if an electric current had suddenly passed through his brain, Xu Anan gradually came to understand everything at that moment.

She looked at Cheng Che, her mouth slightly agape, a look of astonishment on her face.

No, buddy?

what?

Number 00000 is actually Cheng Che?

The male lead in the couple I've been shipping for days turns out to be my favorite novel author!?

Xia Ziyi clearly didn't think as far ahead as Xu Anan.

When she saw Tian Xiwei suddenly laughing so happily, she thought something funny had happened, and her curiosity was immediately piqued.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily all of a sudden?" she asked.

Upon hearing Xia Ziyi's question, Tian Xiwei calmed down slightly.

Just as she was about to explain, the sound of wind chimes rang out again from inside the store.

A deliveryman dressed in a yellow robe walked in.

He was also carrying a milk tea delivery bag, and just like the previous delivery guy, he scanned each table of customers. After his eyes locked onto Cheng Che and his group's table, he quickly walked over.

"Excuse me, which one is 'Number Zero'?"

"……I am."

Upon hearing that this reader had simply left their pen name, Cheng Che had no choice but to admit it.

He has the right to remain silent, but Mango is already after him and will not stop because of his silence.

The deliveryman handed the bag to Cheng Che and then quickly left.

Needless to say, the item on the takeout receipt is still "Mango Pomelo Sago".

Order Notes: Oh dear, I hope Zero won't waste a fan's good intentions? Someone kindly sent you milk tea, you wouldn't just refuse to drink a single drop, would you? You wouldn't look down on a nobody like me, would you?

"That sounds so familiar..." Cheng Che silently rubbed his forehead.

Tian Xiwei laughed even harder.

Even the most obtuse person would realize what was going on upon hearing the word "Zero," and Xia Ziyi was no exception.

Her red lips parted slightly, her eyes widened, and she pointed a slender finger at Cheng Che: "Wow! So you're the bottom!"

"Oh yeah, am I an idiot? I should have realized it sooner." She muttered to herself, forgetting that she had just uttered a rather impolite word.

"Can I see the receipt?" Xu Anan asked.

At this point, no one cares about being a "white moonlight" anymore. Even a 100% pure white moonlight would be curious about this kind of thing!

Someone who has absolutely no curiosity isn't a "white moonlight" (ideal figure); they should be called a "three-no" (no interest, no desire, no curiosity).

Cheng Che was too lazy to struggle anymore, so he tore off the two receipts together and handed them over.

Xu Anan took the receipt and examined it carefully. At the same time, the PD finally seized the opportunity to point the camera at her.

Xia Ziyi also leaned her head closer.

A moment later, Xu Anan raised her hand and gently covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing too loudly.

Xia Ziyi stopped pretending and laughed even more exaggeratedly than Tian Xiwei.

The photographer, who had been "tortured" by Cheng Che for several days, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders slightly, feeling a sense of triumph.

Well, well, Cheng Che, you've finally met your match!

What goes around comes around. Look at all the bad things you've done, you've finally gotten your "retribution"!

[Don't shake the camera! I know you're in a hurry, but hold on, please steady the camera!]

[Everyone's watching, Cheng Che, you're not going to refuse even a drop of your fans' goodwill, are you?]

[No internal traitor, just some drama about Cheng Che looking down on his fans.]

I just checked the food delivery app, and there's a bubble tea shop a few hundred meters away... Hehehe—

[I'll surpass your Zero, and die with you for my Xia Mi!!!]

In the next ten minutes or so.

This Korean restaurant is experiencing a special "peak season".

The wind chimes would ring almost every one or two minutes.

Then, the deliveryman, dressed in a three-color delivery uniform, walked in, and it was like a slideshow playing repeatedly—entering, looking around, locking onto the target, asking Cheng Che questions, handing over the food, and finally leaving.

The frequency has become bizarre.

So much so that everyone in the restaurant—the diners, the front desk staff, the waiters—turned their attention to Cheng Che and his three companions.

Several people seemed to have recognized them and began to secretly take pictures with their phones.

"Should we... just run away?"

Looking at the dozen or so milk tea delivery bags placed in all directions, even Xia Ziyi was a little at a loss.

If I stay any longer, even if I don't drown in mangoes, the shopkeeper will probably beat me to death...

"Are your book lovers... all so, um, enthusiastic?" Tian Xiwei asked after carefully considering her words.

She wasn't unfamiliar with similar scenes; after all, the fanaticism of fans in the entertainment industry was even greater than that in the online novel world.

Especially when some celebrities endorse a certain product, or when certain events require fans to cheer them on.

But the fans were expressing their love for their idol... not trying to kill him!

Could this be the legendary "hate lasts longer than love"?

"That's because you haven't seen anyone more enthusiastic." Cheng Che rubbed his forehead.

A cup of mango pomelo sago costs ten or twenty yuan. Although black gold writers in the online literature circle are certainly not as good as first- or second-tier celebrities, it is not uncommon for them to receive hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan in tips.

Just a few days ago, my editor, Deadly Knife, mentioned that a guy sent 356 cups of mango pomelo sago to the company headquarters in one go.

Hmm, the order notes left were: "Booking out zero's milk tea for the whole year..."

The company is still running a program to send milk tea to sanitation workers and traffic police officers.

I heard that the company even hired a group of temporary workers specifically for this job, and the business scope covers almost one-third of Shanghai.

"Dads, I'm begging you, please stop!" Cheng Che faced the camera, deciding to bow down to the "evil forces".

Circumstances are beyond our control!

If we don't give in, we'll really drown in mangoes!

The probability of a human being killed by a mango is never zero.

"Stop now. Once I return from Mihai, I will begin preparations for updating Long San's affairs," he said, raising three fingers.

"If you don't believe me, I vouch for it with my own integrity!"

"Um?"

Tian Xiwei's eyes widened suddenly, her dark, bright pupils filled with question marks.

Can someone else's character be used as collateral?

Cheng Che blinked at her, looking completely innocent.

After all, your character is obviously much more reliable than mine!

Upon hearing Cheng Che's guarantee, the comments section instantly underwent a complete 180-degree turn:

[Who dares to harm my chosen Zero? I will end his life! —The world's most respected Zero has his rune equipped.]

I didn't want to believe him either... but he actually used Xiaotian's character as collateral!

[Grandpa Zero, I was just playing a little joke on you! Please don't take it to heart, and please take good care of yourself!]

[Everyone, immediately cease your persecution of Master Ling. I know it's difficult, but it's an order!]

[This is hilarious! You're offering this as a bargaining chip with us? Ha! If I called you "Dad," would you dare update a few days earlier?]

[666 This season of "Wandering Diary" is pretty amazing...]

After lunch, the four of them prepared to leave the Korean restaurant, stroll along the old street one last time, and then return to the villa.

Of course, this was to express my apology before leaving.

Cheng Che and the three girls distributed their extra milk tea to the customers and staff in the store, which also solved the potential waste problem.
