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

"Where did this slutty bootlicker come from? (Talking Tom mockingly.jpg)!"

"Hey? Hey official, you dropped something. Come here and I'll return it to you!"

(Below is a picture of a panda head holding a small red ball)

"The official team led a group of Black Gold Battle Saints to challenge Emperor Wei, only to discover that their own leader had defected to the enemy as soon as they arrived."

"I'm so sorry, officials, Xiao Tian and Xiao Cheng... they were both drunk."

"Official, official, I have a question for you. If you and Oda both fell into the water at the same time, who do you think Zero would save first?"

Although there is suspicion that it is riding on the popularity of Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei, the latest video from the official Chinese website account has indeed gone viral.

The number of views jumped from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands and then to over a million, and the number of fans also increased by tens of thousands.

The official account operator was moved to tears—as the saying goes, "Ten years of promoting books go unnoticed, but one day of playing the victim brings fame to the world."

Editor-in-Chief Sama, I think I've found the right way to operate!

Without saying a word, the operations staff promptly changed the official account's nickname to "Qidian Chinese Website (Mentor Zero)".

Then, within half an hour, he posted three more videos related to "Zero".

Although their traffic couldn't match the first one, each one easily surpassed the popularity of the hundreds of book recommendation videos they had posted in the past.

Great, it's number zero!

Our official account is finally saved!

……

While all of this was happening, Cheng Che was busy exchanging WeChat messages with Tian Xiwei.

Xiao Tian Da Wang: I've already made the reservation. I'm flying to Shanghai next Friday to film a movie. It's a morning flight, and I should arrive by noon.

Cheng Che: Received. Contact me anytime when you have time.

Cheng Che: Oh, don't look for me on Saturday afternoon.

King Oda: The kitten is confused.jpg.

Oda: Why? What are your plans for Saturday afternoon?

Cheng Che: The website is going to hold a book signing event for me, and I have to go there to sign autographs.

King Oda: I see.

Oda: The Chinese website is getting better too; they can even get Zero to come out for a signing event!

Oda-sama: Kitten gives a thumbs up.jpg.

Cheng Che smiled upon seeing this and replied without any politeness.

Cheng Che: That makes perfect sense. I'm the most popular person on the Chinese website lately.

Cheng Che: I am the emperor.jpg

King Xiaotian: I won't talk about it.

King Xiaotian: I'm logging off now. See you in Shanghai next week!

……

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

This week, Cheng Che took a complete break.

I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, order takeout, eat, open the comment section of the book, and chat with other readers. It's so relaxing and enjoyable.

His musical note artwork, as its reach continued to expand, began to be promoted to viewers of "Wandering Diary" and fans of the "Cheng Guangxiwei" couple, maintaining its high popularity.

Now his likes have exceeded five million, and his own number of followers has skyrocketed from zero to three million in just one week.

Even with Cheng Che's help, the official Chinese website only has a little over 300,000 followers, which is almost a fraction of his.

So much so that every day, people who love a good show will flock to the official account to comment:

"Qi, are you really willing to be suppressed by a worthless writer? Does he have any respect for you at all?! Just give the order, and we'll take care of Zero!"

Someone replied below:

"Want to headbutt that man's shoe? That's interesting."

……

And so, a week passed, and Saturday arrived.

On the day of the book signing event.

The book signing event is scheduled for 2 p.m. at a booth in an exhibition center near the Chinese website's headquarters. The website has been promoting this event extensively on various platforms over the past week.

At 10 a.m., Cheng Che was on his way to the exhibition hall when he looked down at Tian Xiwei's message.

Oda: My team is almost done filming, just one last shot left, and we expect to finish around noon.

Oda: How's your autograph session going?

Cheng Che: On my way to the company.

Cheng Che: It is scheduled to start at 2 PM and end at 6 PM.

King Xiaotian: Then sign it properly this afternoon, and let me know when you're done.

Oda no Oda: Shall we have dinner together tonight?

Cheng Che: Okay, you pick the place.

King Oda: Then I won't be polite.

Oda-sama: Kitten sharpening a knife.jpg

……

……

Cheng Che arrived at his destination more than half an hour early.

The website staff led him through the staff passage and straight to the back-end lounge.

The lounge was small, furnished with a few sofas and a coffee table, with a screen on the wall that monitored the autograph session in real time.

A woman in a black uniform and high heels sat in front of the coffee table, flipping through a document in her hand.

"Hey boss, long time no see! The last time we met was...!" Cheng Che greeted the editor-in-chief in a very casual manner.

"You seem to be in good spirits?" Bai Ye asked casually.

"Very energetic!"

Bai Ye stopped chatting with him and got straight to the point: "The process for today's book signing is very simple."

"We'll start promptly at 2 PM. First, give a brief greeting to everyone, and then begin signing autographs."

"During the signing process, readers may give you small gifts or chat for a bit; just do as you please."

She trusted Cheng Che quite a bit.

After all, although the child may seem unreliable at times, he is always quite capable when it comes to work.

She was very pleased.

"Received." Cheng Che had no objections.

Bai Ye nodded and added, "The website will be broadcasting live during the autograph session. The equipment is already set up, right in front of your autograph table."

After she finished speaking, she turned around to explain something to the staff, but suddenly paused, turned back to look at him, as if she was reassessing something.

"How many followers does your music account have now?" she asked.

"More than three million, I guess," Cheng Che thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"In that case, why don't you use your account to start a live stream?" Bai Ye paused for a moment. "It's just a live stream of the autograph session as promotion. You can decide what gifts you receive and what you want to say along the way."

"Okay," Cheng Che readily agreed.

……

It was exactly 2 p.m.

After finishing the GG shoot, Tian Xiwei received a notification from a musical note.

"The account you are following, 'Zero (Master Xia Mi),' is currently live streaming. Come and join us!"

Her eyes lit up, and she entered the live stream room without hesitation.

Inside the live stream room, Cheng Che sat at a long table covered with a dark blue tablecloth. On the table were physical copies of "Battle Through the Heavens" and "Dragon Raja," as well as a row of pens.

A long queue had already formed in front of him.

The comments scrolled extremely fast—

[You're Zero? Then who is Cheng Che?]

[10+ views in five minutes! Your brother Che is now a top-tier music streamer!]

[Hey streamer, could you roll your head up? I need a soccer ball on the field!]

[Just a casual observer, but this streamer clearly loves mangoes!]

Tian Xiwei glanced at the exhibition hall behind Cheng Che, tilted her head slightly, and felt that the place looked somewhat familiar.

"Hey sis, come take a look." She called to her agent.

"What are you looking at?" The agent leaned closer.

"Have we been to this exhibition hall before? I remember it being not far from here, right?"

She held her phone up to her agent and winked.

The agent glanced at the phone screen, then at her.

"Want to go?" she asked.

Tian Xiwei, like a chick pecking at rice.

The agent sighed.

"Can."

She can go because the CP (couple pairing) between Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei has been incredibly popular lately. The company even mentioned it a few days ago, suggesting that she contact Cheng Che and interact with Tian Xiwei more often.

Since the company has no objection and the person in question has no objection, what can she say?

As for the reason for the sigh... the manager glanced at Tian Xiwei, who seemed to be about to deposit money into her account.

It seems like our cabbages are practically being given away for free...
