I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

As expected of Jiang Xinhai.

Who else could let their mother know this?

The post on WeChat Moments quickly attracted attention.

A high school classmate I haven't contacted in a long time left a comment:

"I also want to support Xinhai, but I can't find where the Weibo super topic is."

Li Mengyao replied: "I'll create a group and teach you how to do it."

...In every corner of the internet, a "senior citizen fan club" is quietly taking shape.

Other people who vote for celebrities include those born in the 00s and even the 10s.

Most of them are under 20 years old and are all students.

However, this "senior citizens' fan group" has a slightly different style...

Not only were they all quite old, but some were even over 50 and used canes to participate.

Unlike the skillful coordinated attacks of fan groups, their organization was somewhat clumsy.

"Check in, then what?"

How do I turn points into influence?

"You need to help! Otherwise, you can't use your points!"

……

The group chat that Li Mengyao created was also quite lively.

Soon, the number of people in the group had surged to over 300.

The discussion in the group was surprisingly harmonious, with almost all the senior citizens teaching each other how to operate the system.

Occasionally, a couple of fans would come in and make sarcastic remarks like, "How can a washed-up singer beat Li Xingliang?", only to be kicked out by Li Mengyao.

Just then, someone in the group shouted out:

"Holy crap, even Weibo influencers are voting for Jiang Xinhai!"

Chapter 104 Jiang Xinhai: What kind of thing is he that he's worthy of being an opponent?

"Holy crap, even Weibo influencers are voting for Jiang Xinhai!"

The person then posted a screenshot of a Weibo post, which read:

"I contributed 45 points to #JiangXinHai'sSuperTopic#, I must help my sister get the top spot! Click here for details #link..."

At first glance, the content itself doesn't seem like anything special, but once you see who posted it on Weibo, it becomes a bit unsettling.

The person who posted the Weibo post is the official Weibo account of Tianmi Technology!

Tianmi Technology is a mobile phone brand with millions of followers on Weibo.

The official account suddenly posted this, and it immediately caused an uproar in the comments section:

"Using official accounts for private purposes, huh? Guards, arrest this editor!"

"Waaaaah, is the CEO of Tianmi also a fan of Jiang Xinhai?"

"What happened? Why is Tianmi supporting Jiang Xinhai on the charts?"

……

People in the "Sunset Red Fan Club" group chat were stunned.

Then, everyone burst into excited laughter.

"I knew Jiang Xinhai's fans were just getting old, not dead! It seems our people have already penetrated into all walks of life!"

However, this was just the beginning. Soon, everyone discovered that Phoenix.com had actually reposted Tianmi Technology's Weibo post.

The accompanying text was:

"Then you can't do it. I boosted my sister's popularity by 121 points, which is more than you!"

The group members were so happy they slapped their thighs.

"That's amazing! How come we have people from Phoenix Network too!"

Phoenix.com is a long-established news website with a particularly strong influence.

In people's minds, they are quite far removed from entertainment news, so their sudden support for Jiang Xinhai caught everyone off guard and created a strong sense of contrast.

"666! Look! So many celebrities are supporting Jiang Xinhai!"

Li Mengyao asked anxiously, "Where can I see it? Where can I find it?"

"Just search for 'Jiang Xinhai's Super Topic' and you'll see it!"

To everyone's surprise, before this, Jiang Xinhai's hashtag had only been trending.

When I opened the super topic, the posts wouldn't refresh even once in a long time, and there were only a few familiar faces posting.

In just a few hours, the place has undergone tremendous changes!

"Stand-up comedian Li Xian: I've been a fan of Jiang Xinhai for ten years, I must get her to number one on the charts just this once..."

"Singer Hsiao Ching-teng: Hello everyone, please help boost the popularity of Jiang Xinhai's super topic..."

Pianist Langlang: Did you support Jiang Xinhai today?

……

"Holy crap, it's broken into the mainstream! It's broken into the mainstream!" Li Mengyao shouted, clutching her phone.

Jiang Xinhai's influence is rising at a visible speed!

And her ranking skyrocketed from 233rd!

205、187、164、121……85！

Refresh the page once, and your ranking will jump significantly!

With tears in her eyes, Li Mengyao shared the screenshot with Yu Sheng in real time, while shouting "It's gone viral!"

Yu Sheng, however, remained relatively calm. He said:

"Jiang Xinhai's influence already extends beyond the circle."

...By nightfall, Jiang Xinhai's ranking had reached within the top 50.

When they woke up, everyone discovered that Jiang Xinhai had already reached 25th place!

Li Mengyao suddenly felt that it wasn't impossible for Jiang Xinhai to take the top spot!

"Everyone, give it your all! If we get the Heart of the Sea to number one on the leaderboard, and take a screenshot, we'll consider it a victory!"

As the new day dawned and the news gradually spread, more and more people learned about Jiang Xinhai's chart-topping incident.

Her hashtag popularity also surged, climbing at an even faster pace.

By the afternoon, her popularity had finally settled at number 2.

The number one spot goes to Li Xingliang!

At this moment, the list was displayed with a silver sign above Jiang Xinhai's profile picture.

On Li Xingliang's head was a small, gleaming golden crown.

As fate would have it, Li Mengyao was now in a bloodthirsty frenzy.

She called out in the group chat, "Is there anyone else who hasn't helped Xinhai yet?"

The group chat was quiet for a while.

After a while, people started replying one after another:

"I voted."

"I voted."

"I submitted it this morning."

Li Mengyao gritted her teeth.

"Can I use a smurf account to submit another bid? Xin Hai was just a hair's breadth away from taking first place."

The group was silent for a while, then people started saying things one after another:

"Registering a secondary account is too troublesome; it requires a mobile phone number, so I can only borrow my mom's phone."

"It's no use. I created a new account yesterday. It will take three days for the new account to help generate buzz."

Li Mengyao then asked, "If I register a new account now, will I be able to help Xinhai in 3 days?"

Someone in the group immediately replied: "No, today is the last day of the week. The leaderboard will be changed tomorrow, and all points will be reset to zero."

Li Mengyao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the group chat exploded.

Why were our points reset to zero? Didn't we waste all our points?

"Does 'points being reset' mean everyone's points are gone? Then there's still a chance to try again next week?"

Yu Sheng calmly said in the group chat, "Today is our last chance. If we don't make it onto the leaderboard today, we might not be able to achieve such good results next week."

Someone asked, "Why?"

Yu Sheng replied:

"To date, Li Xingliang's super topic has 1200 million followers, while Xin Hai only has 400 million followers."

"We were able to reach this level because of the traffic brought by celebrities. If it were a direct competition, it would be very difficult for us to win."

"Furthermore, once the rankings are released this Monday, Li Xingliang's fans will be able to use this screenshot to mock us for the rest of their lives. Are you willing to accept that?"

After he finished speaking, the group fell silent.

After a while, someone else shouted:

"Do you have any friends you can mobilize? Can't you help out?"

Silence fell again.

They had already mobilized everyone they could.

They still lack experience, coordination, and don't know how to bet.

The most lethal shot is the one that comes out at the last minute.

However, it's too late to realize this now.

Li Mengyao and her friends have already used up all their points for today.

Just then, there was some activity in the group chat.

"Look! Li Xingliang's points have suddenly skyrocketed!"

Li Mengyao quickly clicked on the trending list page and saw that Li Xingliang's topic influence had suddenly increased from 5140 million to 5500 million.

Originally, Jiang Xinhai was only 10 behind his opponent, but in just a short while, the gap widened to 400 million!

Suddenly, someone with a white profile picture spoke in the group:

[I'm a fan of Liang, and I'm here in your group as an undercover agent.]

After observing you all, I realized you know absolutely nothing.

[The final push for the rankings is always at the last minute. You've already used up all your points, what's the point of even trying?]

I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: we have many, many points left, just waiting to use them at the last minute.

Xingliang has been number one on the leaderboard for over half a year; our goal is to be number one all year.

What kind of person is Jiang Xinhai? Does he even deserve to be called an opponent?

[One last comment before leaving the group: You bunch of idiots.]

...After saying that, that person left the group.

Li Mengyao was left with her fingers clenched tightly, her fingernails digging deep into her flesh.

She tried to regulate her breathing, retracted the undercover agent's statement, and then said:
