Seeing that he was still making purchases, Luo Qiao finally could no longer resist sending him a message: "Enough, enough. Please don't spend any more money, thank you."
…
At the Ming Corporation.
Propping his chin up in his hand, Ming Siran looked at the message from Luo Qiao. His slender fingers lazily typed out a few words: "It's alright, I've got nothing but money."
Luo Qiao: "???"
…
Not long after, the Show magazine released news that the magazine would be launched for sales in three days!
Netizens:
[This time, for sure Luo Qiao will give Tang Moqi a good whipping, just sit back and watch this hahahaha…]
[Sister Qiao's cover is beyond beautiful, she's worth it!]
[I plan to buy a copy as a keepsake, hehe.]
[Bah! There are fools who would believe this self-directed song and dance by Luo Qiao? Which man would buy a million dollars' worth of useless Little Hearts. We know Luo Qiao is rich so could she stop playing this split personality game?]
[Hahahaha, Luo Qiao thinks that the netizens are fools!]
[Does it make you happy buying Little Hearts for yourself? @Luo Qiao]
[Here she comes again with her hired true-love fan. What's the use of brainwashing the readers? This time, each account can only make one purchase, so it's useless even if she has lots of money…]
[I'm waiting for your true colors to show, and at that point, if you have no male fans then the embarrassment is yours to bear @Luo Qiao]
Tang Moqi's fans started on a comment spree, saying that in fact, Luo Qiao didn't have that many male fans, that she had split personality and was the one making all those purchases for herself.
It was obvious from all the new account names on the ranking list. If they had been her loyal fans all along, why didn't they normally repost her Weibo, but rather, spend a million the moment they made an appearance?
Tang Moqi's fans presented a logical argument and gradually were able to convince a segment of readers.
However, there were also newly-won fans of Luo Qiao who fought back:
[Die of jealousy!]
[It's a fact that she looks pretty on the cover, is it so surprising that she has more male fans? You doubt others just because your idol is ugly and gets no special treatment?]
[My brother who doesn't even surf the internet suddenly has Luo Qiao's photographs on his cell phone. You can imagine the impact of those pictures on the male population, so stop being so jealous!]
People were saying all sorts of things online. In the midst of all the discussions, the day came when the magazine was launched for sales.
Show magazine's official blog: Set to go right on time! All you cuties out there get ready, the purchase link is below, it's time to act fast! First-come-first-serve!
A hundred thousand copies each were released of each Luo Qiao's and Tang Moqi's covers. Each account name was allowed one purchase hence the sales volume was a true reflection of the popularity of the stars.
Luo Qiao herself wasn't too concerned about such things. Since it was the weekend, she nestled herself comfortably into the sofa and watched some TV programs after her meal.
Ming Siran did not go to the office either, which was a rare occasion. He sat back on the sofa languidly with his lanky legs stretched out.
"What are you up to?" Luo Qiao asked, noticing that he kept looking at his cell phone.
Ming Siran lifted his gaze to glance at her, raising an eyebrow. "You want to know?"
He patted his sturdy long legs that were enveloped in his suit trousers. With a seductive drawl, he said, "Come sit over here and I'll tell you."
Luo Qiao, "…"
Throwing her apple at him, she then turned back to the television in a huff.
The man laughed lightly in response. Then he clicked into his Workgroup and sent a message.
