Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

“…” Song Junzhe was speechless.

Song Junzhe has had countless girlfriends, but he had never taken a photo of any of them. He remembered Yu Zhan didn’t like taking pictures before. He didn’t like taking selfies, nor did he enjoy taking pictures of someone else.

“When did you start having a hobby like photography?”

Yu Zhan thought about it, “I recently realized it’s fun to take photos.”

This entire break, Yu Zhan had taken lots of photos of Daylight and Paul with his phone. He fidgeted around with all kinds of perspectives and angles, and it turned out he had a little talent with photo shooting. Many people liked and reposted his photos posted on Wei Bo, and some even asked him for more pictures to set as their desktop.

Song Junzhe silently watched as Yu Zhan took a dozen photos before finally finding one that he was satisfied with. He then set that photo as his desktop, and he laughed stupidly as he looked at the picture.

Song Junzhe felt Zhan was very childish…

He could also be sure Zhan really liked this girl to want to record her actions in every moment.

Liu Man finally realized she was way behind them and ran to catch up with them.

“Sorry, sorry. I was posting something on Wei Bo just now,” Liu Man huffed.

“There are many people here. If we accidentally lose you, Zhan would get extremely worried,” Song Junzhe said, laughing. He suddenly pulled Liu Man by her arm and dragged her, so she was standing in between him and Yu Zhan.

“OK, even if we chat now, we won’t forget you.”

A pretty, elegant girl with two handsome men was a combination that naturally attracted much attention. Fortunately, there were many tourists and very few locals here. No one recognized Song Junzhe. Those Hong Kong paparazzi who loved to take photos of Song Junzhe never went to Victoria Harbour in hopes of finding him.

Song Junzhe said that he wanted to make up the New Year reunion party that they had unfortunately missed. So that night, he took Yu Zhan and Liu Man to his villa on Victoria Peak. Song Junzhe laughed as he said, “Isn’t your plan to visit Victoria Harbor and Victoria Peak? Well, bingo, the plan is completed.”

Song Junzhe lived by himself, and he had a total of five servants and chefs. There was no need to describe how luxurious his house was. The chefs had already made all the dishes beforehand, and the food was served right when they arrived.

“Has Man Man been to a New Year reunion party in Hong Kong before?” Song Junzhe asked Liu Man with a warm smile.

Liu Man shook her head. There were a variety of dishes in front of her: lobsters, crabs, abalones… They all seemed to be very expensive.

“Let me introduce them to you. This lobster is named ‘Jubilant’; this crab dish is ‘gold everywhere’; this snail dish is ‘piles of gold’; this abalone dish is called ‘success’; this fish dish is called ‘prosperity’; this almond rich ball dish is called ‘blissful reunion’…”

On this table, every dish had a meaningful name, and every plate had an expensive price that not many people could afford. Who could afford such an advanced chef Song Junzhe had, not to mention the cost of the ingredients?

Song Junzhe was very careful and thoughtful when he treated his guests. He knew Liu Man was a bit afraid of him, so he used a relaxed, humorous tone to tell her how people who lived in Hong Kong would spend their New Year break as they ate. He also informed her that, in Hong Kong, people in the same generation would also give each other New Year allowance. As he said that, he took out a red packet from nowhere and handed it to Liu Man.

Liu Man didn’t dare to take it.

But Yu Zhan said, “It’s not a big deal; so you can take it. It’s his Li Shi Feng for you, and this is just part of the tradition. There’s not much money in there.”

TL’s Note: Li Shi Feng is Cantonese’s way of saying “red packet.”

Song Junzhe added, “It’s just a present since this is the first time we meet each other. Besides, you came from far away, and naturally, I would have to give you a present. If you feel like you owe me something, you can give me a gift the next time we meet to return the courtesy.”

Seeing that both of them were persuading her, Liu Man felt the red packet to test if it was thick with cash. It didn’t feel that way, so she took it.

When she got back to her hotel room, she opened the red packet and found ten pieces of Hong Kong currency that were each worth 1,000 HKD.

Beep, beep, beep.

Liu Man woke up as she heard the sounds of WeChat notifications the next day at eight o’clock.

Liu Man, only half wake, picked up her phone and logged onto WeChat. A message from Peach is a fairy popped out,

“Man, quick, go on Wei Bo. The spammers of the fake cat food dealers saw the Wei Bo you posted yesterday, and last night, they blemished you all over your account. Go delete their comments, and if you don’t have enough time, lock the comment section.”

Liu Man immediately logged onto Wei Bo to see there was, indeed, a thousand more comments below her Wei Bo. Different from that support coming from fans yesterday, these comments contained many negative contents.

“How do you know she went to buy real cat food just by her going to Hong Kong? You guys are stupid. She is just sending a picture of her traveling and conveniently gave a location.”

“Maybe even this location is fake, and her photo is from Baidu.”

“ In my opinion, this live-streamer has been deceiving us from the start, including all those supposedly-righteous exposing fake cat food; She only wants to earn money.”

“There are less fake cat foods on Taobao now; you all can directly purchase on Taobao. Why would you pay more money to this live-streamer? Are you guys rich but stupid?”

“Yeah, yeah. There are many trustworthy surrogates on Taobao.”

…

Many fans of Princess Man who woke up early in the morning started to rebut them,

“You dishonest dealers, begone.”

“Surrogates are not trustworthy. They are just those same frauds with different names.”

“Live-streamer is providing service for everyone, and she deserves the money! Yes, we are rich but stupid, and we are willing to give her money. Go away, you dishonest dealers.”

“Princess, send some more pictures so these scammers can see that you are in Hong Kong and are working on the dealing rights.”

“Yeah, yeah. Let those people who don’t know the truth believe you’re innocent.”

…

Maybe it was because these people spammed at midnight when there was no recent news, but their spam comments made Princess Man’s Wei Bo more popular. Princess Man’s fan count increased instead of decreasing.

Liu Man thought there was no need to delete these comments suspecting her. Just like what one of her fans said, she should prove herself with facts.

Peach is a fairy, far away in the capital, was almost dying from her anxiety. When it was noon, she realized none of the negative comments got deleted. She, along with some other loyal fans, was arguing against these spammers, but there were more and more spammers by the moment, and they almost couldn’t persevere anymore.

At this time, Princess Man’s Wei Bo suddenly sent a photo,

There were many luxurious office buildings in her photo, and she wrote a caption: “Now, I’m here.”

Many people had been to Hong Kong before, and it was easy for them to recognize this was the Hong Kong business center in the central ring.

But nobody knew what Princess Man meant. A few minutes later, she sent another photo with the same caption: “Now, I’m here.”

The picture was taken at the front desk of a company. A pretty woman with short hair, like the female lead of a Cantonese TV show, stood in front of the camera in her uniform, and her fingers were forming a heart shape. Behind her was a wall, and on the wall read in traditional Chinese “Hong Kong Westland Ltd.”
