Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 989 - 988
Wang Xiaoni is fifteen years old this year, an underage young lady, a freshman in high school. Her father, Wang Zhonghou, has the greatest expectation for this only daughter to study well during her three years in high school, and in the future get into a good school. Not so much to glorify the family but mainly to earn herself a bright future.
Wang Xiaoni used to be very obedient to her father, always a good girl, studying very diligently, and her grades were quite satisfactory. At this rate, she should have no problem getting into a good school in the future.
Until one day, Wang Zhonghou discovered that his daughter's test scores had plummeted, dropping tens of points compared to the last test. Wang Zhonghou quickly called his daughter for a chat, asking her what had happened and what was causing her grades to decline so drastically.
Wang Zhonghou is normally busy with work and doesn't have much time to pay attention to his daughter's studies. Fortunately, his daughter is sensible, never letting him worry.
But this time, he is really worried. The first thing that came to his mind was whether his daughter was in a puppy love relationship. This is a very common reason for children's declining study performance; young boys and girls at this age, with their muddled understanding, start to date, seriously affecting their studies.
"Niu Niu, honestly tell Dad, are you in a relationship?" Wang Zhonghou asked.
Wang Xiaoni blushed and said, "No, I'm not, Dad, don't say things randomly."
Wang Zhonghou pressed further, "If it's not early love, then explain why your test scores have dropped so much this time?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "Dad, I am really not in a relationship, tests are something where there will always be failures sometimes, I just failed this time, Dad, don't overthink it."
Wang Zhonghou was somewhat convinced: "Really?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "It's true, Dad, I will strive to do well next time, is that alright?"
His daughter promised to do well next time, and only then did Wang Zhonghou believe her. After all, how could his always obedient daughter possibly be in an early love relationship?
Wang Zhonghou chose to believe his daughter. However, after some time passed, one day Wang Zhonghou suddenly received a call from his daughter's class teacher.
"Mr. Wang, I would like to understand why Xiaoni has been frequently distracted in class recently. Her performance in the last test was very poor. I had a heart-to-heart talk with her; she said there were a lot of things happening at home recently, and that her father was sick, which put a lot of pressure on her. She promised it wouldn't happen again, but she's still like this, and it's getting worse, frequently listless in class, even sleeping during class, which wasn't the case before. Mr. Wang, has something happened to your family?" the class teacher asked.
Wang Zhonghou was stunned.
"Mr. Wang, are you listening?" the class teacher said.
Wang Zhonghou hastily replied, "Yes, Teacher, don't misunderstand, nothing has happened at our home. Don't worry, I will find out the reason."
The class teacher said, "It's best to figure it out soon, after all, Xiaoni is a promising student. Given her previous grades, I believe she can get into a good university. But don't be too angry; it's important to be mindful about educating children."
"Yes, I understand," Wang Zhonghou said.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhonghou was already furious because his daughter actually lied. When the teacher talked to her, she said it was because her father was sick, which affected her mood.
When had he ever been sick, and how could even he not know it?
There must be something wrong with his daughter, something seriously wrong.
Wang Zhonghou, unable to focus on work, immediately took leave and rushed home, the first thing he did was storm into his daughter's room and began searching.
As a result…
He found a pile of celebrity merchandise, posters, albums…
All about one celebrity, and only then did Wang Zhonghou know that there was a celebrity named Hua Yiwu in this world.
His daughter was clearly crazily obsessed with this celebrity, spending a lot of money just buying this celebrity's merchandise. During normal times, because he trusted his daughter, he let her manage her own pocket money, not questioning her, but as it turns out, his daughter spent so much money on a celebrity, and he had no idea.
That evening, Wang Zhonghou threw a thick stack of celebrity posters in front of his daughter: "Is this the reason your grades are dropping?"
"Ah!"
Wang Xiaoni screamed, agitatedly saying, "Dad, how can you enter my room and rummage through my things!"
Wang Zhonghou angrily said, "If I didn't go through your things, I wouldn't have known what you were up to. I just couldn't figure out why your grades were dropping, turns out you were obsessed with a celebrity. Are you one of those brainless fans people talk about online? I think you've gone crazy!"
Wang Xiaoni said, "Why can't I have a star crush, am I not allowed to like someone?"
Wang Zhonghou shouted, "When it affects your studies, it's wrong. I ask you, what's going on? You idolize a star to the point of losing your senses, the class teacher said you even doze off during class. You better give me a truthful explanation!"
Wang Xiaoni was frightened; from childhood till now, she had never seen her dad so angry, her dad had never shouted at her.
"I…" Wang Xiaoni faltered, "I was just helping brother do data…"
Wang Zhonghou was baffled: "Do what data?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "Lots of them, basically doing data every day, a lot of data. For example, when brother has a new endorsement, posts on Weibo, we have to do data. We must leave many comments for brother; if there are few comments, fans from other camps will mock brother for flopping, so the data has to look good. We fans each have more than a dozen accounts, taking turns posting comments and liking, for example, one account posting ten comments, each person can contribute more than a hundred comments. If diligent, one can contribute two to three hundred comments, this work takes a considerable amount of time. Also, if someone curses brother, we have to do anti-black actions."
Wang Zhonghou listened, completely dumbfounded, as if he had opened a new world, what on earth is all this?
"What is anti-black?" Wang Zhonghou said.
Wang Xiaoni said, "If someone slanders brother, we will curse that person, report that person. Again, everyone has ten accounts, taking turns reporting; if the number of reports is high enough, Weibo officials might ban that hater's account. It's generally hard because Weibo officials allow haters as it boosts traffic, but there are successful cases."
Wang Zhonghou said, "And then?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "And…when brother is trending, we have to control the comments. Brother is a top star, often trending, so we often have to control the comments. Sometimes brother trends late at night, and we stay up all night to help brother control the comments, again, everyone has ten accounts, taking turns liking for brother."
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Zhonghou: "You're wasting time on such pointless things to the extent of neglecting studies, and falling asleep during classes?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "How can you call this pointless, we all do this willingly, it's for brother's good, helps brother. If brother's data looks bad, the comment numbers are low, fewer people buy endorsements, others will mock brother for flopping, we just don't want brother to be mocked."
Wang Zhonghou was speechless: "If he flops, if he gets mocked, what does it matter to you, celebrities make millions filming a movie, do they give you money?"
Wang Xiaoni said, "How can we ask brother for money, we generate power through love, it's all because we like brother, we do this without charging money."
Wang Zhonghou: "..."
