197: The 197th day of being popular

However, Yao Bianliang faced a dilemma regarding how to use a fake account.

Creating a new account was indeed feasible, but this raised the risk of arousing suspicion. If, by some chance, her true identity as Yao Bianliang was exposed through the fake account, especially if Yao Xinxin discovered it, it would be highly unfavorable.

On the other hand, if she used an older account, where could she find one?

After pondering for a moment, Yao Bianliang's eyes lit up. "Right, I already have a ready-made account, don't I?"

Yao Bianliang had an account named "Today I Want To Be Cold" that she had consistently used for self-deprecating humor for years. To anyone who saw this account, it would appear to belong to one of Yao Bianliang's haters. Who would suspect that she was Yao Bianliang herself?

Moreover, Yao Bianliang and Yao Xinxin were practically family. It was normal for her haters to become fans of Yao Xinxin.

"Alright, I'll use this account," Yao Bianliang decided confidently.

"But, host, Yao Xinxin is a celebrity after all. If you use a fake account to message her, she probably won't read it," the assistant pointed out.

Yao Bianliang remained unfazed. She had already prepared for this issue.

Indeed, Yao Xinxin received thousands of private messages, so it was impossible for her to check each one individually.

So, she would use the money to get her attention!

She would send gifts in abundance, and even if Yao Xinxin herself didn't contact her, her studio staff would take notice.

With this plan in mind, Yao Bianliang took action immediately.

[Ding, the user "Today I Want To Be Cold" sent 999 rose gardens to Yao Xinxin, earning the title of a loyal true fan!]

[Ding, the user "Today I Want To Be Cold" sent 999 holiday islands to Yao Xinxin, earning the title of a rich super fan!]

[Ding, user "Today I Want To Be Cold" sent 999 starry skies to Yao Xinxin, earning the title of an ultimate true love fan!]

With Yao Bianliang's actions, not only did she receive the sparkling title of Yao Xinxin's true love fan, but she also became Yao Xinxin's number one fan.

Fans and onlookers flocked to her latest Weibo post, leaving comments in awe of the wealthy benefactor.

[Ah, thank you, Rich Sister, for supporting Xin Xin with a top fan donation! Rich Sister, you're the best.]

[OMG, look at what Yao Xinxin has become, and there's still someone topping up for her.]

[Spending so much money on Yao Xinxin, is this person crazy? I really don't know what they're thinking.]

[Tsk, another rich and spoiled tycoon.]

Yao Xinxin had been living in a daze lately. When she woke up from a nap, it was almost dusk.

Her days and nights had been reversed, her sleep schedule was chaotic, and her overall mental state was extremely sluggish.

"Ding-dong—ding-ding-ding-dong!"

Her phone vibrated frantically. Yao Xinxin picked it up and impatiently glanced at it.

More insults or mockery?

She had already grown accustomed to the various malicious comments she had received lately.

However, when she saw the situation, her eyes widened abruptly.

However, when she saw the notification, her eyes widened abruptly.

"Who spent so much money?"

She couldn't recall when her fan club had organized a fundraising activity. If it was a single person contributing this much, it was indeed a significant gesture.

Yao Xinxin had never expected that, at such a time, there would still be a tycoon willing to spend money on her.

This wealthy fan had even left her a message.

[Today I Want To Be Cold: Xinxin, you're an excellent female star! I believe you can only get better.]

Yao Xinxin's lips trembled, and she fell into silence.

Her career was in a slump, and her company had treated her coldly. Her family didn't understand her, and netizens only knew how to insult her, as if the whole world had malice toward her...

But now, suddenly, someone had poured a large sum of money into her just to tell her that she was actually a wonderful female star.

Yao Xinxin suddenly felt like crying. She hadn't cried even when she argued with her mother before. But now, faced with the kindness shown by a stranger, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Today I Want to Be Cold? Hmm, this person is...

Yao Bianliang's hater?"

Opening the other person's profile and reading through their latest Weibo posts, almost all of them were related to criticisms about Yao Bianliang.

Yao Xinxin's emotions became complicated for a moment.

She hadn't expected Yao Bianliang, a person with such a good reputation, to have haters.

And this person was clearly not just an ordinary hater but a firm and persistent one.

Watching this hater express sincere admiration for her in their latest Weibo post, Yao Xinxin couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of this netizen she'd never met.

However, when she saw this hater being mocked by other users for sending her gifts, Yao Xinxin felt a sense of unease.

If it weren't for her, this person wouldn't have to endure this kind of criticism!

After some thought, Yao Xinxin opened a private chat window with the hater.

【Yao Xinxin: Thank you for your gifts. However, I'm afraid I will disappoint your expectations.】

【Yao Xinxin: I plan to take a break from the industry for now and am unlikely to return in the future. I'm sorry for not fulfilling your liking.】

If it were in the past, Yao Xinxin would have probably not cared about the admiration from a wealthy fan.

Back then, she had many wealthy fans, and there were daily extravagant displays of affection towards her. She usually wouldn't respond.

But now, perhaps due to her current situation being far from what it used to be, or perhaps because she had decided to leave the industry, Yao Xinxin didn't carry as much of a burden in her heart.

On the other side, upon receiving Yao Xinxin's message, Yao Bianliang's eyes lit up abruptly.

"Indeed, no one can resist the power of money!"

Yao Bianliang immediately adopted a formal tone and began her first step of probing.

【Today I Want to Be Cold: I know Xinxin has been under much pressure lately. There's no need to feel pressured because of our admiration for you. Regardless of the decision you make, we fans will support you!】

【Today I Want to Be Cold: Also, I've sent Xinxin a little gift. I hope you won't be sad, and that you can be happy every day.】

Yao Xinxin looked at this message, feeling moved once again.

During this time, she talked to many people, including her parents, fans, studio staff, and friends in the entertainment industry. Most of them tried to encourage her to be back.

Some would try to help her find solutions, while others would analyze her current situation. However, these efforts hadn't been very effective and only added to Yao Xinxin's stress.

No one had ever told her that all she needed to do was be happy.

With these thoughts in mind, Yao Xinxin's emotions became complicated, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. In the end, her thousands of words could only be condensed into three.

【Yao Xinxin: Thank you.】

Yao Bianliang immediately sent another lengthy message.

【Today I Want to Be Cold: You're welcome! As long as Xinxin can be a little happier.】

【Today I Want to Be Cold: To be honest, I'm also somewhat connected in the industry. I've contacted director Rain from Country Y, and there's a significant supporting role in his movie that fits Xinxin perfectly. I believe, in a few days, he'll extend an invitation to you.】

【Today I Want to Be Cold: If Xinxin goes abroad for a closed-door shoot, not only can you avoid negative domestic public opinion, but you can also relax and enjoy the foreign scenery!】

【Today I Want to Be Cold: I've heard that the best way to bid farewell to anxiety is to keep busy. If Xinxin focuses on acting, you probably won't feel anxious during your free time, right?】

Yao Bianliang's persuasion was quite shrewd.

She didn't tell Yao Xinxin how precious Director Rain's resources were and how they could significantly boost her career in the entertainment industry. Such information might make Yao Xinxin anxious and want to avoid it.

Therefore, Yao Bianliang didn't bring up that topic at all. She was entirely focused on Yao Xinxin's perspective. After all, what could be more enticing than going abroad for a closed-door shoot and escaping the scrutiny and pressure?

As expected, Yao Xinxin's previously firm resolve began to waver.

【Yao Xinxin: Is... is this real?】

The idea of such good fortune dropping from the sky made her somewhat sceptical.

But upon further thought, it didn't seem plausible for someone to spend so much money just for a prank.

【Today I Want to Be Cold: Of course, it's real! Consider this resource my gift to Xinxin. Whether you accept it or not, I hope you'll seriously think about it.】

Yao Xinxin was moved to the point of almost shedding tears. 

She looked at this user with the ID "Today I Want to Be Cold" and felt like this person was an angel sent by heaven to rescue her, radiating a divine light.
