TL: Hua
Xun Qian opened a Weibo account and did real-name authentication.
His avatar is a round butt of a black puppy with a default background. The Weibo name is Xun Qian, and he only follows one person, Qi Xiaoyu.
With so many new accounts being registered on Weibo every day, no one cares about one extra account.
But this account name is bluntly called Xun Qian, with the real name being verified, so it’s a bit different. After all, Xun is a really uncommon surname.
At first, a fan of Qi Xiaoyu accidentally saw it while browsing the newly added fans, so she clicked in to take a look and even took a screenshot and posted it in Qi Xiaoyu’s super topic1Weibo’s super topic is similar to a subreddit., asking if this was the real person.
Qi Xiaoyu’s personal super topic now has more than three million followers, and the real-time activity is very high.
After this Weibo post was posted, it quickly caught the attention of many fish balls, and everyone passionately discussed where this high imitation account came from or how similar it was to the real deal.
“Don’t you guys think that the avatar of this high-imitation account looks like our son2They called Qi Xiaoyu their son.’s dog?”
“Not at first glance, but if you look closely, it does look like my grandson.”
It should also be mentioned that most of the imitation accounts that were created to follow Qi Xiaoyu were done so with malicious intention.
“It looks like a conspiracy to me that this account happened to follow our baby at this juncture. Will it be on the hot search later?”
“Sisters, how about we report this high-imitation account?”
“Personally, I’d suggest sending a private message to Xun’s enterprise’s official Weibo and asking them to report this fake account.”
“I don’t know where this account came from, and it has nothing to do with us. Don’t rush to cause trouble for Xiaoyu. Sister, why don’t you delete this Weibo and pretend that nothing happened?”
After a heated discussion, someone advised to delete the entire thing to quickly avoid trouble.
There are also people visiting Xun Qian’s Weibo homepage after seeing the screenshot. Although the homepage was empty, there was a blue V certification with the words “President of Xun Company” written below.
Someone said, “Maybe it’s really the boss himself. Take a good look at the round dog’s butt in this avatar. It’s not a resemblance; it’s basically the puppy picked up by our cub, right?”
“Look at this back shot of White-browed Hero when he was a puppy. Aren’t they exactly the same?”
White-browed Hero and Qi Xiaoyu have appeared in magazines together. They had their pictures taken in almost every angle, not to mention such a big dog’s butt.
They were all joking about how all dogs’ butts looked the same at first; now seeing the picture, they all fell into deep thought. Could this be the real deal?
While Qi Xiaoyu’s fans were discussing this matter, this Weibo post was unknowingly shared out by other fans who came to lurk and was also posted on several forums devoting to celebrity gossip.
Those gossip forums have always speculated about things in the entertainment industry with the most vicious minds. So as soon as the post was shared, it immediately attracted a lot of ridicule, saying that this was all staged by Qi Xiaoyu’s fans to flatter their idol.
“No offense, but what are the chances that the big boss actually opens a Weibo account to follow a star?”
“Hahahaha, it’s a pipe dream. This big boss who never shows up and doesn’t even have an interview photo, especially opens a Weibo, uses his pet dog as his profile picture, and only follows him? His fans are really bold; their faces are probably as big as the universe.”
“I thought QXY was quite humble, but I didn’t expect him to be this desperate and come up with new tricks every day.”
“It’s just a dog’s butt. Isn’t the black dog’s butt round like this? Is your dog’s butt flat?”
“If there’s such a sponsor behind QXY, his resources would have been top-tier. But he was only playing the second male lead in his previous movie.”
There were also several dissenting voices in the middle: “To be honest, this account does look real; it’s verified; who would dare to verify it if it’s not real?”
“And this dog’s butt, I think it looks like the dog QXY raised; although all dogs’s butts look like this, there are subtle differences. Its rounded arc is too coincidental.”
“Although this top wealthy family is enviable, QXY is doing well now; there’s no need for him to do such things.”
The last comment was quietly pushed to the top by Qi Xiaoyu’s fans.
Although they knew the gap between celebrities and these kind wealthy tycoons, in their hearts, no one was worthy of their own baby, not even the big boss. Who knew what the boss looked like? They heard that he was in a wheelchair…
Just like that, amid all kinds of suspicion, discussion, and gossiping, Zhang Han followed this new account that was suspected to be a fake!
Zhang Han helped Xun Qian open a Weibo account and did real-name authentication. After reporting the relevant work to Xun Qian, of course he had to follow the boss first.
Zhang Han’s Weibo authentication was the general manager of Weihao Hotel and Xingye Commercial. Once he followed, other companies under the Xun Group followed suit.
For a time, all official Weibos of Wanhai Real Estate, Weihao Hotel, Xingye Commercial, and Orange Juice Entertainment paid attention to this newly registered account.
Employees from various companies, from general managers to supervisors at all levels, all came to show their regards.
It’s a pity that Xun Qian didn’t post a single Weibo, leaving them with no place to flatter and no place to like; otherwise, they would have immediately taken action to repost, like, and comment.
But it doesn’t matter if he didn’t post anything. Everyone was rubbing their hands together, ready to go. The planning team of each company is discussing what to post and welcomes the big boss to join Weibo.
Then, in this competition that tests the PR capabilities of various companies, Orange Juice Entertainment took the lead to post first, “I’ve been waiting for you; fortunately, I didn’t give up3This sentence is very lyrical in Chinese btw. They’re very dramatic xD @Xun Qian[love][love]”
Jiang Feibai quickly reposted, “I wish Xun Company will continue to prosper.”
This man is very good at flattering the top brass.
On the way to curry favor with their boss’s future spouse, the official Weibo of Weihao Hotel took the lead; no one could catch up. Almost immediately after following Xun Qian, they followed Qi Xiaoyu’s Weibo and left likes along the way to prove that they had been here.
#Xun Qian follows
Qi Xiaoyu# quickly became a hot search.
Now, it was the turn of Qi Xiaoyu’s fans and those who had just mocked Qi Xiaoyu in the gossip forum to be dumbfounded.
This account that looks so much like a high-imitation fake account is actually real!
Who said before that the boss wouldn’t open a Weibo to follow a celebrity?? Take this slap in the face!
Now looking back at the boss’s Weibo, he only followed Qi Xiaoyu in a one-way direction, which is particularly intriguing and makes people scream.
“I seem to have discovered something incredible. Is this the meaning of an official announcement?”
“I believe it. I believed all the previous press releases.”
“Opening a Weibo to follow only Qi Xiaoyu, my God, OMG, what kind of true love is this?”
“Focus on the key point. The key point is the dog. Why do they have the same dog? And looking at the background of the photo, it’s obviously taken at home! Look at this carpet and window; how homely!”
Fans already have the observation and reasoning ability comparable to detectives. Now with so much valid information available, they have to take a magnifying glass and dig it upside down.
“This is definitely a photo taken at the boss’s home. Look at the shape of this window and the lawn outside. Only a luxury villa worth hundreds of millions in the western suburbs of S City looks like this.”
“So what is their relationship, and how far has it progressed? Have they established a relationship? Boyfriend? Or a secret marriage? It feels like a good brand of dog food; I want a bite so bad.”
The more netizens dug, the more surprised they were. The media was also ready to move. But the two of them—one was in the cloud and could not be contacted, and the other was filming on the set every day and could not be seen.
Qiu Yuan, who had always regarded this matter as a joke, was so shocked that his jaw dropped. “This world is too crazy. What kind of sh*t luck did Qi Xiaoyu have? How could Xun Qian like him?”
His agent snorted coldly, “Please stop with your little tricks. No wonder you failed all the auditions recently. It turns out that you offended someone. If you continue like this, the company will not support you anymore.”
Qiu Yuan was shocked. “You…what do you mean by this?”
“It means to freeze all your activities.”
****
Of course, Xun Qian had to do more than that. He not only followed Qi Xiaoyu’s Weibo but also followed Qi Xiaoyu’s super topic and signed in.
Then, the fish balls were surprised to find that after the big boss opened his Weibo, several anti-Qi Xiaoyu super topics and anti-activities related to Qi Xiaoyu were also cleaned up.
The so-called anti-Qi Xiaoyu super topics and anti-activities were super topics with insulting or offensive natures established by Qi Xiaoyu’s anti-fans.
Although Qi Xiaoyu is popular, has a good image, and has few anti-fans, there are all kinds of people in the entertainment industry, and there are people who do all kinds of dirty things. In addition, people who are famous are prone to gossip, so these anti-super topics are unavoidable.
This kind of thing is very easy to build, but it’s very difficult to take down. Qi Xiaoyu’s fans have been reporting these accounts for several months but have not been able to eradicate all of them.
Xun Qian somehow solved it in just one day.
After everyone found out, they all knelt down to the boss.
The big boss is really deserving of this title. His move is indeed extraordinary.
Although they didn’t know what the big boss looked like, they suddenly felt that this son-in-law/daughter-in-law was quite thoughtful.
Even Qi Xiaoyu’s rivals could only look at this farce with jealousy.
Some people originally said that Xun Qian and Qi Xiaoyu’s relationship was a kept one, but after seeing this series of actions, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying, “If this is how a foster relationship works, I want one too.”

In the crew, Momo handed the phone to Qi Xiaoyu, her eyes shining. “Xiaoyu, do you want to say something?”
Qi Xiaoyu looked at it and tapped on the screen a few times before saying, “I followed back.”
Wang Mingge, who was still here, interrupted them with confusion, “Who followed Xiaoyu?”
Momo smiled proudly, “That Third Master Xun took the initiative to open a Weibo account and follow Xiaoyu.”
She raised her index finger and said, “And he only followed Xiaoyu, not even his own company.”
After that, she asked Qi Xiaoyu excitedly, “You only follow him back? Don’t you want to post a Weibo to show your appreciation? The boss also followed your super topic!”
“No need.” Qi Xiaoyu turned off his phone. Except for the photo he was forced to post with Jiang Sicheng, his Weibo was basically all about work. He and Xun Qian knew each other well already, and he wasn’t willing to show it to strangers on the internet.
It was enough that he knew in his heart what Xun Qian had done, and he naturally knew how to reciprocate equally in the same way.
After seeing this hot search, the staff in the crew looked at Qi Xiaoyu differently. When they thought that the person who often came to pick up Qi Xiaoyu was really Xun Qian, they all expressed regret. This might be the closest distance they were to the boss. The next time they see him, they should at least say hello from a distance.

That night, Qi Xiaoyu finished work and returned to the hotel. The first thing he did was to call Xun Qian.
Although this place was not far from Xun’s house, the hotel was closer. He had a scene to shoot tomorrow morning, and doing makeup takes time, so it’s more convenient to stay in a hotel with the crew.
They chatted sweetly on the phone about what happened today and asked each other about tomorrow’s arrangements.
Qi Xiaoyu has an interview tomorrow afternoon, and then he will attend a private event at five or six o’clock.
They also talked about the stuff happening on the Internet, but they didn’t mention the key points, such as what netizens and the media are most concerned about—what is their relationship?
At this point, the next step is to officially announce their relationship, but what should be said in the official announcement? Divorced ex-husbands? It doesn’t seem right. Couple in love? They seem to be more than that.
Xun Qian reflected on himself and felt that the matter of remarriage shouldn’t be asked at a time like this. It should be a little bit more grandiose.
Qi Xiaoyu also reflected on himself. Things like leaving a note may not be formal enough. It should be a bit more serious.
