Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 49 - Popularity Flow

[I’m more worried about how they’ll manage tomorrow; they’re out of money.]

Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou, holding the two kids’ hands, hadn’t walked far when they bumped into Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen.

Song Yuchen was carrying a small box in his hand. He walked up to Shen Yibo, “Yibo, this is for you to eat.”

It was especially packed by a waiter from the buffet he had just eaten at the hot spring hotel. Technically, such buffet meals weren’t supposed to be taken out.

But Song Yuchen had a sweet way with words, calling every waitress “pretty sister,” flattering them. Struck by Song Yuchen’s cute and handsome appearance, the hotel staff, after consulting with the manager, wrapped up a piece of cake for him.

Though Song Yuchen was about the same age as An Ruilin and Shen Yibo, he was relatively the most sensible of them all.

He knew that Shen Yibo’s mother didn’t have money to buy him food, so while he was eating, he thought of Shen Yibo, who loved to eat.

Upon seeing the small cake in the box, Shen Yibo was so happy that he jumped for joy. He grabbed Song Yuchen’s hand and expressed his thanks, “Xiao Chen, thank you so much!”

“Zhenzhen, Xiao Chen, thank you for thinking of Yibo,” Han Jiangxue said with a faint smile on her face, but deep down, she was filled with disdain.

On one hand, she looked down upon Shen Yibo, the little fatty, for his big appetite, and on the other hand, she always thought that Ye Zhenzhen was using the child to garner goodwill, trying to overturn the negative reviews about her online.

[Wow, Xiao Chen and Little Yibo really have a genuine friendship, haha.]

[Since the first day’s breakfast with dumplings, Xiao Chen has been taking special care of Yibo. He really enjoys playing with Little Yibo, doesn’t he?]

[The friendship between children is just this simple, sharing whatever is tasty and fun.]

Seeing Shen Yibo with food, An Ruilin crowded in too and asked Ye Zhenzhen, “Auntie, I want to eat too, I haven’t had dinner tonight, my stomach is so hungry…”

Wu Yuerou immediately pulled him away, “Ruilin, didn’t you say you wanted to eat baby potatoes? Mommy will buy some for you.”

She felt that if they had to ask anyone for something, it certainly shouldn’t be Ye Zhenzhen.

The reality TV program crew would wrap up in two days, and Wu Yuerou felt that as long as she endured these last two days, once she got back to Jiangcheng, she would definitely find an opportunity to give Ye Zhenzhen a lesson.

This would also vent her frustration from the past few days dealing with Ye Zhenzhen!

Speaking of which, Ye Zhenzhen did have a bag of snacks in her bag that she had just bought from a roadside vendor.

When An Ruilin wasn’t being naughty, he actually could be quite adorable. Originally, she hadn’t planned on giving him any, but since the child said he hadn’t eaten dinner, she pulled it out from her bag and handed it to An Ruilin, “Here you go.”

An Ruilin accepted the bag gratefully, “Thank you, Auntie!”

It was a big bag of dried fruits and vegetables, and he started eating as soon as he tore open the package.

[An Ruilin has been utterly spoiled by Wu Yuerou; if he doesn’t change mothers, he’s sure to be ruined eventually]

[Exactly, getting a stepmother like Ye Zhenzhen wouldn’t be such a bad idea]

[Our Xiao Xue is also great; she’s so caring and attentive toward Little Yibo]

[Please, Han Jiangxue is nothing compared to Ye Zhenzhen]

During the five days that “Mom’s Companion” had been livestreamed, the negative controversy surrounding Ye Zhenzhen as a stepmother had completely turned around, resulting in an outpouring of positive reviews online!

Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian, the two mother-daughter pairs, also attracted a lot of attention from netizens, who commented that if they had sons, they would want them to be like Song Yuchen, both cool and warm-hearted, and if they had daughters, they should be cute and well-behaved like Xiao Yu and Xiao Yiyi.

In addition to the exponential increase in the number of online viewers during the daytime livestreams, countless netizens searched for recorded broadcasts after the livestream ended at night…

Ever since Ye Zhenzhen sold oranges at the market and received a like from Xiao Yi, the topic of “Mom’s Companion” had been climbing steadily for three days.

Director Fei and the program crew hadn’t made any efforts to attract sponsors or generate traffic; by the fifth day, they had received so many calls for advertising inquiries and invitations that their phones were overwhelmed.

The person of interest to the numerous advertisers was none other than Ye Zhenzhen.

Now, on every major entertainment platform online, not a single keyword related to Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Jianjian, Ye Duidui, and many more was not trending.

Especially since the oranges sold by Ye Zhenzhen in Yishan Village the day before yesterday had started to reach the buyers today, with many netizens posting messages under Ye Zhenzhen’s Weibo comment section and the program’s official Weibo, saying the oranges were large, fresh, and delicious.

Such positive feedback undoubtedly helped establish another layer of a good reputation for Ye Zhenzhen.

Popularity, commercial value, and a solid reputation in the hearts of netizens—all of these had been vividly demonstrated by Ye Zhenzhen in just a few short days.

Advertisers were drawn to the qualities reflected by Ye Zhenzhen.

And as for all the buzz online, Ye Zhenzhen was still completely unaware.

Director Fei privately thought that Ye Zhenzhen shouldn’t waste her energy on commercial advertisements and events that were of no use to her. However, he had no right to accept or reject these ads on Ye Zhenzhen’s behalf; he could only wait until the program ended to discuss it with someone.

Originally, he was hopeful that Han Jiangxue and Ye Zhenzhen, as the two pairs, would create some sparks, leading to Han Jiangxue’s rise to fame. But unexpectedly, Han Jiangxue and Ye Zhenzhen weren’t on the same level at all.

Now, his reality show was indeed a hit; he had become popular, and securing investments for his future films would be much easier than before. All this success, he had to admit, was thanks to Ye Zhenzhen.

Director Fei planned to speak with Ye Zhenzhen and her agent about a script when the program ended, not letting her become a purely commercial actor.

From his observation during the days of filming, he felt that Ye Zhenzhen was quite different from other female artists. If Ye Zhenzhen focused on acting, she could become even more popular and would go further in the industry.
