Lin Zi sighed. “Shameless people are invincible.” With Dong Lu’s proficiency in riding on popularity, if he had diverted his attention to his acting skills, he would not still be holding the title of “Little Ji Jun” after debuting for two to three years.
Ji Jun’s evaluation of Dong Lu’s actions was much simpler. “Disgusting!”
However, it was precisely because Dong Lu had not done anything to hurt Ji Jun that even though Ji Jun felt that his actions were disgusting, he could not do anything to him. Otherwise, no matter how famous Ji Jun was or how powerful his background was, the people in the industry would still not like that.
On the other hand, Dong Lu, who was being discussed by them, was also paying attention to the public opinion on the Internet. Seeing that he had earned a lot of popularity with this wave of comments, he hummed a song happily as he swiped his cell phone.
His manager walked in and felt a little helpless when he saw him. “Didn’t we agree that you won’t touch Ji Jun for the time being?”
There was also a need to pay attention to taking advantage of others’ popularity. Firstly, they could not take advantage of them too much. Otherwise, if he offended Ji Jun and was targeted by the Ji Family, their company would not be able to protect him. Secondly, he had to be skillful and could not take advantage of Ji Jun forcefully.
Previously, it was precisely because Dong Lu had spoken out of turn during the live-stream that Ji Jun’s fans were very dissatisfied and almost turned his live-stream upside down. After this incident, the company decided to let Dong Lu lie low for the time being and not extort Ji Jun’s popularity.
In the end, Dong Lu was doing it again only a few days after he made the promise.
Dong Lu looked disapproving after being criticized by his manager. “I didn’t take the initiative to take advantage. That administrator was my fan to begin with and she implicated me. If I don’t say anything, what if Ji Jun’s fans blame me?”
Dong Lu said it confidently, but that was not what he was thinking. The company told him not to ride on Ji Jun’s popularity anymore and act in peace. However, Dong Lu knew very well that with his acting skills, he could forget about relying on acting to stand out.
It was true that he debuted with a high ranking on a talent show, but there was also a saying in the talent show world that said that they would lose their job as soon as they formed an idol group. It meant that the peak of their popularity would be the moment they formed the group. After that, they would start to decline.
Dong Lu was a very thoughtful and ambitious person. He was unwilling to be abandoned after the company squeezed out his business value. Hence, he was focused on thinking about how to increase his popularity and become a popular artist.
Although it was not a good name to use Ji Jun, the popularity and traffic did come quickly and high. At the same time, it was the least costly way. Dong Lu despised it on the surface, but he was very keen to use Ji Jun’s popularity.
However, the people in the company did not dare to go overboard because of Ji Jun’s background, so they kept stopping him. Dong Lu had no choice but to find an opportunity to ride on Ji Jun’s popularity.
The manager glanced at the administrator’s alternate account and reminded him, “You’d better restrain yourself. This administrator is not easy to deal with. You’ll be in trouble if she drags you into it.”
Dong Lu shook his head and snorted proudly. “Don’t worry, she’s very loyal to me. She definitely won’t expose me.”
Dong Lu was so proud because he had a close relationship with this administrator. The administrator had supported him when he first debuted and helped vote for him on the rankings. She was considered one of his fans who had more money to vote, so Dong Lu had always been familiar with her ID.
Later on, Dong Lu took a fancy to a bag, but he couldn’t bear to buy it because it was too expensive. He mentioned it in the fan club. Unexpectedly, this administrator sent him a private message a few days later. She said that she had already bought the bag and asked how to send it to him.
Dong Lu was very happy when he received gifts. At the same time, he gradually became familiar with this administrator and got her to buy things for him from time to time. Suddenly, one day, the administrator said that something had happened to her family and she could no longer support him financially in the future.
After Dong Lu found out, he felt that it was a pity that he had lost a wallet. Unexpectedly, after just a month, the administrator said that she had found a new way to earn money. That was to become Ji Jun’s administrator and earn Ji Jun’s fans’ money to support him.
It could only be said that this administrator’s way of thinking was indeed quite strange. What’s more, she earned a lot of money through this method. Dong Lu resumed receiving gifts. At the thought that the money to buy gifts came from Ji Jun’s fans, he felt very proud. Hence, he kept encouraging the administrator and making her work harder as an administrator.
