Zhang Han has never handled such a matter before, but he did everything according to the Xun family standard and the entertainment industry standard.

Xun Qian said not to let him suffer any injustice, so he would have to put in twice as much effort.

The Xun family had both wealth and means, and the orders passed down by Zhang Han are from Xun Qian. Even though they were separated by an ocean, things were extremely efficient.

That morning, the large screens of buildings along both sides of the river in City S were all filled with photos of Qi Xiaoyu.

The largest LCD screen in the city has “Happy Birthday, Qi Xiaoyu,” written neatly in seven large characters.

As soon as this row of PR was photographed and posted online, the entire fan circle was screaming in awe. Qi Xiaoyu’s fans are too rich. Even top-tier celebrities may not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.

Another person said, “Next time, if you want to boast about traffic, try taking the ten large screens along the river in S city first. Qi Xiaoyu has just become popular, and there is such support.”

In S City, where land is at a premium on both sides of the river, a large screen is not cheap. Normally, rental fees are charged by the second, about five to six hundred yuan per second, or hundreds of thousands per hour.

Not to mention more than a dozen screens.

Not only do they have to be settled, but they also have to be settled on the same day. This cannot be done by just spending money.

However, someone did it.

More than a dozen screens played Qi Xiaoyu’s mixed-edited videos on a loop throughout the day.

Qi Xiaoyu currently doesn’t have much material for editing. They basically come from “Eating Lights on the Road,” commercial videos of banana milk, and outtakes from “The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Empress.”.

In this way, even the program team, brand owner, and crew are very happy. This is really free and large-scale publicity.

Everyone sighed in their hearts that it was really not in vain to invite Qi Xiaoyu to record the show, act, and film.

Besides, the two sides of the river in S City were originally the most prosperous places, with many office workers and many people coming here for tourism and shopping.

As they walked by, they could see Qi Xiaoyu’s pictures at any angle and in any position, flooding their faces.

Someone asked, “Did fans do this? It’s quite extreme.”

“It should be. Look, it says below, Qi Xiaoyu’s beloved fan group.”

“Wow, fans are so rich nowaday.”

“They are really wild. I remember there was a celebrity birthday last month, and the fans bought all the commercial signs on the subway I took to and from work… But still, not this extreme.”

“That’s right, the price of this is really expensive. Last Christmas, my classmate’s son wanted to use this screen to propose to his girlfriend. When he heard the price, he just turned around and left.”

Not only pedestrians passing by were shocked and stopped in front of the big screen; even Qi Xiaoyu’s fans were shocked by the scale.

Usually, brands invite celebrities to do activities. There will be activities where a large screen will be unlocked after buying enough items and selling as much as possible. Basically, you have to buy three to four million worth of products from this brand to unlock an hour of on-screen promotion.

Now there are more than a dozen screens lighting up for Qi Xiaoyu at the same time!

It’s unknown how many people will be jealous of this.

At the same time, Qi Xiaoyu’s fans are also curious. Since when did they have a website called “Qi Xiaoyu’s Beloved Fans Group”?

They searched one by one but could not find an official account, and they had never seen this fan group do fundraising before. It seemed to be a very private group.

So they could only sigh silently in their hearts. This kind of website that does practical things without seeking fame is a really good website.

They have to applaud their cub for having such an amazing fan group.

Zhang Han was very enthusiastic about Qi Xiaoyu, and Yu Xiaosheng also issued a notice in the name of the company, pointing out the marketing accounts that first posted the photos and warning them not to spread rumors anymore.

He also solemnly stated that February 14th is Qi Xiaoyu’s 23rd birthday, and the pictures posted online are just friends celebrating Qi Xiaoyu’s birthday.

He also mentioned that the program team also knew about this. Because it was just a small birthday, and he and Jiang Sicheng had celebrated it together the day before, they didn’t celebrate it with any fanfare.

As soon as the announcement from Star Entertainment came out, some people jumped out and said, “Isn’t Qi Xiaoyu’s birthday on January 16th? When did it become February 14th?”

Star Entertainment directly refuted, “Don’t you know that people have a lunar birthday?”

The following “hahaha” fully expresses the ruthless ridicule of this anti-fan and directly ranks this article as the number one hot comment. After all, there are many people celebrating lunar birthdays, from friends, to families, to themselves. They often can’t figure out which day their Gregorian birthday corresponds to.

Immediately after the company explained that this was Qi Xiaoyu’s birthday, the public opinion of the anti-fans was also nailed to the pillar of shame.

“Does the person who broke the news have no friends? They dared to break the news just by taking a picture of someone’s back.”

“I wish the whistleblower would celebrate their birthday alone every year.”

“Are they holding hands in the photo? Are there any intimate gestures? Is the requirement for being an anti-fan so low now? All you have to do is spew bullshit.”

“And didn’t you notice that there is such a big dog’s head between them?”

“Dog…head? Why is it that a dog so cute can be made to sound so funny? Is this Qi Xiaoyu’s dog? It’s so cute; why haven’t I seen him before?”

After a while, another stubborn anti-fan was still struggling, “Why doesn’t he spend his birthday with family, but with friends?”

Following this line, it was discovered that Qi Xiaoyu’s mother had passed away when he was very young.

There is almost no news from his father’s side. It is said that he has remarried and has another family.

Needless to say, this situation is probably due to Qi Xiaoyu not being cared for since he was a child.

Qi Xiaoyu rarely mentioned his family in front of the camera before, and people didn’t care about him before he became famous.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, he was caught off guard and exposed. Qi Xiaoyu, who celebrated his birthday quietly with his friends, without his family to accompany him, and had to be criticized, caused the fans to feel sorry for him.

They all shouted that they would protect their cub from now on and spend every birthday with him after he turned twenty-three.

Many fish balls that became fans because of “Eat the Light on the Road” originally regretted missing Qi Xiaoyu’s 23rd birthday, but they found that they could still catch up, especially now that New Zealand has not reached 24:00 on February 14. Early in the morning, before the company could organize any event, the trending search of #Qi Xiaoyu0214Happy Birthday# had already risen to the top 5 at the speed of light.

Although Li Kun told Qi Xiaoyu to have a good rest and ignore the comments on the Internet, this was what he had caused after all, and he could not leave the whole aftermath to others.

After reading the hot searches and various comments on the Internet, he posted a few photos of White-browed Hero and joked in a dog voice, “This is a stupid owner who can’t even remember his own birthday [disgusted] [disliked]. He even wants me to thank everyone for him, hmph.”

Although this Weibo didn’t mention anyone by name, it secretly satirized the anti-fans and sunspots and, at the same time, expressed his gratitude to the fans.

And this is super cute.

After posting on Weibo, White-browed Hero quickly became Fish Ball’s new favorite.

Except for those who wished Qi Xiaoyu a happy birthday, the other replies were all about the puppy: “Zai Zai’s dog is as cute as Zai Zai.”

“Look at this little black dog lying in this picture; his belly is so fat. Say, did you steal all the snacks at home?”

“Does anyone know what breed this dog is? I want to have the same puppy as my idol.”

“Such a stupid…looking black dog…a bit like a Frenchie pup, but the size is not the same.”

“Hahaha, the size is different. Frenchie’s belly is not as big as this one.”

Seeing that fans were discussing dogs, Li Kun followed suit and posted a photo of the little black dog that had just been picked up. He also specifically explained that this was the puppy that Qi Xiaoyu picked up on the set during the winter. Because he was worried that the little black dog would have a hard time in the winter, he took it home.

Then he posted several more photos of the puppy.

In the photo, you can clearly see how thin and small it was when it was picked up, and then it became more and more plump under Qi Xiaoyu’s care.

It’s so cute that everyone calls the puppy cute and Xiaoyu kind.

There are also many dog lovers who retweeted and supported this behavior of adopting instead of buying.

For a time, the little black dog became an internet celebrity.

Immediately afterwards, after seeing Qi Xiaoyu himself posting on Weibo, the crew of “The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Empress,” Long Hua, Xu Yan, and other actors in the crew all sent their blessings.

On the New Zealand side, people from the program team knew that today was Xiaoyu’s birthday, and they all joined in to forward blessings.

Only Jiang Sicheng, after playing poker all night, returned to the dormitory and fell asleep without even taking a shower.

But as soon as he was falling into the dream, he was woken up by a phone call.

His father, Jiang Feibai’s, loud voice came through the speaker. “Why don’t you post on Weibo when everyone else posts it?”

Jiang Sicheng was feeling sleepy and muttered, “Dad, what do you want me to do in the middle of the night?”

His father snorted coldly, “You even said that you two are good brothers. The whole world sent Weibo messages to wish Qi Xiaoyu a happy birthday, but you have been silent for a long time. And you’re even in the same program group as him. How do you think people are going to scold you next? You can’t remember such a small thing, you can’t do what you promised; you’re lying…”

“Okay, okay, I’ll send it right away. Dad, please stop talking.”

When Fang Qi saw the trend of public opinion on the internet, she became so angry that she couldn’t sleep.

If she wanders around and understands more, she will know that, without enough evidence, she should never blackmail Qi Xiaoyu. According to netizens’ summary, since the start of his career, people who blackmail him always get slapped in the face.

The magazine incident is like this; the Tang Kui incident is like this; and now the Valentine’s Day incident is the same. Oh no, it was fifteen minutes earlier than the previous incidents.

What is unfortunate is that Fang Qi thought she was just unlucky this time and didn’t handle Qi Xiaoyu correctly.

She even naively thought that she had done a perfect job. After all, there were so many people coming and going from the show crew that whoever could have taken this set of photos was possible.

It wasn’t until the next day that she slowly realized something was wrong.

Firstly, she was told to stop the recording of the program early and had to buy a ticket to return home on the same day.

She stood at the door of the dormitory with her hands on her hips. Lack of sleep made her look ten years older than usual, and she completely lost the charm of the otaku goddess in the live broadcast room.

She cursed angrily, “The show recording hasn’t concluded yet; why did you notify me to go back at such short notice?”

The director, who was always well-rounded and caring towards her, said in a cold tone, “We can’t do anything about the TV station’s arrangement. Miss Fang should go back as soon as possible. I think the station may have something to talk to you about.”

When she returned to China, filled with anger, she discovered that there were still unbelievable things waiting for her. For example, her scenes in “Eating Light on the Road” had been cut out, and for example, Longjiang TV’s TV show, which was scheduled to be hosted by her, had now been changed to a different host.

Then again, without realizing it, getting this far has been the end of her showbiz career.

*****

After Fang Qi left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t have to be wary of anyone causing trouble around them at any time. Everyone returned to their original relaxed and comfortable state, playing around and running the restaurant happily.

Xun Qian went back the day after Qi Xiaoyu’s birthday.

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t even get to thank this fan for his enormous support before the other party left on a plane.

He had no choice but to send a message agreeing to compensate Xun Qian on his birthday.

After a few more days of recording, the last day of “Eating Lights on the Road” finally arrived.

The last day was a very relaxing trip, which met Gu Meiling’s expectations. Facing the green water and green mountains, a group of people gathered around the coffee table, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Then everyone wrote down their feelings about this season of the show and their expectations for the third season according to the requirements of the show.

This program was recorded for over a month, spanning the Spring Festival. Everyone went skydiving and experienced various extreme sports together. They also figured out how to spend money to make money. They got up early every day and stayed up late every day to buy and cook food. They had accumulated a lot of experience and deep friendship.

The messages were all about thanking each other and looking forward to seeing each other again next season.

Jiang Sicheng, a careless and unserious person, wrote things very straightforwardly: “I hope to go to a livelier place next season, so that I don’t have to work hard to solicit customers… Of course, it must be the same lineup.”

Finally, everyone packed up their luggage, waved goodbye to the Forest Restaurant, which had been in operation for a month, and flew back home.

When they parted ways at the airport, they agreed to meet again in the future. Zheng Peizu also specially pulled Qi Xiaoyu and said that if there is a new movie this year, he will definitely contact him.

****

When Qi Xiaoyu returned to City S, he was overwhelmed with work.

After experiencing the soaring ratings of “Eat Light on the Road” and the vigorous birthday support, Qi Xiaoyu’s fame has steadily increased.

A steady stream of invitations from brands and magazines was sent to Yu Xiaosheng.

After experiencing such elaborate birthday support, everyone had the impression that Qi Xiaoyu’s fans were very rich.

Who wouldn’t like an artist who has rich fans, good popularity in the industry, a positive image, no negative news, and works under his belt?

According to Yu Xiaosheng’s arrangement, Qi Xiaoyu immediately returned to the crew of “The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Empress” to reshoot some scenes.

The role played by Qi Xiaoyu was taken early, with only some early scenes added, and was completed in one or two days.

The treatment Qi Xiaoyu received this time when returning to the crew was completely different from before.

The last time he came to the crew, he was still a newcomer who had just emerged and become popular. Now he can be considered a small hit and has become a first-line traffic.

The staff on the set no longer called him Xiaoyu but instead called him “Teacher Qi” with a very respectful attitude.

Then, after completing the TV series clips, Qi Xiaoyu didn’t even return home that day and went to shoot for magazines again.

This is different from the last interview with Youth Weekly. It’s a special issue of the Spring and Summer issue of a fashion magazine.

On the way to the shooting studio, Butler Cheng called Qi Xiaoyu and asked him what time he would be home, and then said, “Xiao Hei is already at home, missing you.”

Qi Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Uncle Cheng, take good care of him for me.”

Li Kun heard it from the side and asked, “Your dog? You can bring it along for a photoshoot.”
