Chapter 20: The God of Wealth Arrives in the Entertainment Industry (20)
At the same time, Jiang Youyou herself seemed to revel in the commotion, posting directly on Dablog: "In a great mood, so let’s do a giveaway! Anyone whose comment lands on a floor with the number six gets a mysterious gift package~ Up to floor 6666, first come, first served~ Good luck to all!"
As she was already trending, her post immediately drew a massive influx of comments, the floor count skyrocketing in an instant.
Sour Plum: Wow, wow, wow! Sixth floor, that’s me—the first lucky winner! So happy~
Year-Year Superfan: Don’t celebrate too soon. Ignoring my idol and now pulling this giveaway stunt to distract everyone—I bet this is all fake!
Year’s the Best: Exactly, Jiang Youyou, apologize!
Sakura at Sunset: Quietly raising my hand here—won a phone last time, already received it. Summerlanders don’t lie to Summerlanders.
Colorful Yuhs: Oh my god, how long has it been since the last one? Another giveaway? I haven’t even warmed up my phone from last time! She’s honestly as generous as the God of Wealth.
Youyou in My Heart: So true! Isn’t our Youyou the little God of Wealth of the entertainment industry? Everyone, keep commenting, don’t miss out!
The comments were a riot of voices, and the post’s popularity soared.
Fang Jinnian, watching the trending topic on his phone, his gaze icy, remarked, “What a fool.”
“Aren’t you going to do something about it?” Fang Jinnian shot a dissatisfied look at Song Xian, who stood unmoving by his side.
“President, after all, Miss Jiang is your legitimate fiancée. Wouldn’t this…” Song Xian ventured hesitantly, only to be cut off by Fang Jinnian’s cold voice, “Assistant Song, you’re speaking too much today.”
Song Xian pressed his lips together. “Understood, President. I’ll see to it right away.”
“Since it’s your first offense, you lose your bonus this month and half your salary as well.” The icy voice was devoid of any emotion. Song Xian paused, replied with a subdued “Yes,” and hurried away.
Soon, a new trending topic appeared: Jiang Niannian dodging the issue, refusing to apologize, and trying to cover up the truth. At the same time, Jiang Youyou’s Dablog fell silent, the drama set offered no clarification, and even the Jiang family remained quiet.
For the moment, this silence was universally interpreted as guilt.
At the hot springs resort, Nan Yan snatched a moment from her busy schedule to check her phone, only to be greeted by push notifications of trending news. She watched the video, then noted someone’s bold moves, and could only marvel at the strength of the girl’s nerves.
After all, the comment section was now a torrent of abuse and foul language, harsh enough to make one’s ears burn.
She had to admit, this generation of netizens was ferociously hostile.
“Boss, we’ve secured the land in the east of the city.” A man with glasses entered the office, pushing open the door.
“I see.” Nan Yan set aside her phone, took the contract from the man, and a genuine smile reached her eyes.

For nearly a month, one scandal after another broke online about Jiang Youyou. After her last statement, she had vanished from the public eye, leaving the rumors to stick to her like glue.
In the digital world, silence is taken as admission, and the internet is only too eager to fill in the blanks.
Meanwhile, her fans dwindled rapidly. Even Nan-jie, ever the optimist, couldn’t help but feel the pain, though Jiang Youyou herself seemed entirely unbothered.
In stark contrast was Jiang Niannian, who, with her pleasant looks, the occasional drip of positive publicity, and some “crew member” accounts claiming to support her, managed to secure the persona of a gentle, considerate ingénue.
The two sisters’ positions in the entertainment circle had now completely reversed.
Those watching the drama were thoroughly entertained, and even Jiang Niannian herself had, more than once, flaunted her success in front of Jiang Youyou, only to find her efforts met with indifference. The sensation of striking cotton with her fists left her dissatisfied, and just as she was about to make another move, Jiang Nantian summoned her for a private conversation.
