Chapter 56: 55. The tile of Uncle Tang

The following day, Tang Shu was woken up by a barrage of messages from Sister Luo.

In the early morning, several delicate white fingers stretched out from the grand bed in the hotel’s presidential suite, groping towards the vibrating cellphone.

The next instant, she accurately grabbed the phone in her hand.

A fuzzy head poked out from under the covers, and Tang Shu squinted to see that the unread messages on WeChat had already exceeded 99+.

What’s going on?

She propped herself up with her left hand on the bed, leaning against the pillows behind her, and pinched the phone to scroll through the WeChat interface.

[Sister Luo]: “Tang Shu, your Weibo fans are growing too fast, it’s already broken through two million!!!”

This message came at 1 a.m. today.

[Sister Luo]: “Now public opinion has completely turned around and is in our hands, thanks to the Weibo post from Director Xie. Did you see the message?”

[Sister Luo]: “You’ve now got hardcore fans, although the number is relatively small for the time being; the company plans to wait a while longer before launching the fan club.”

From 3 a.m.

[Sister Luo]: “Oh oh~~You’re trending on the hot search again! Finally, it’s for good reasons; I was so worried——”

[Sister Luo]: “The dark-themed photo shoot from last time has been edited, and I’ve sent it to your email. Remember to share it with the fans as a treat——”

From 4 a.m.

…

It was obvious from the messages that Sister Luo was thrilled.

And…

Tang Shu’s gaze landed on the timestamp of the messages, and with a raised eyebrow, she realized her manager apparently hadn’t slept all night due to excitement.

The greater-than-expected increase in fan count already spoke volumes about the popularity of the variety show; Tang Shu had once again shot to fame thanks to another hit show.

And now the fans were gradually approaching the 2.5 million mark.

In just one night, the fan count had risen by close to a million. What an impressive pull!

For a newcomer who had only debuted with a single drama less than two months ago, this was explosive popularity, and she had also shed her initial notoriety.

Thinking this over, Tang Shu realized that the edited photo shoot meant to celebrate one million fans might have to be used for the two million fan celebration instead.

After scrolling through messages for more than a minute, Tang Shu understood the whole situation and then gave Sister Luo a call.

“Sister Luo, have you… slept?”

By now, it was already 6 a.m.

On the other end, Sister Luo was still excited, with Xiao Li, her assistant’s voice seemingly nearby.

“Tang Shu, you’re awake! Sleep? How can we sleep when we’ve got such a huge thing to celebrate?”

“Exactly, we’re celebrating in high spirits right now!”

Unexpectedly, another unfamiliar voice came through the line.

Tang Shu, remaining silent for a moment, figured, well, good news is worth celebrating.

“In the message on WeChat, you mentioned something about a photo shoot poster, what’s that about?”

“That thing? It’s a treat for the fans; you just need to select fifty lucky ones, and we’ll mail each of them a copy of your nine-grid poster.”

“Got it. I’ll post on Weibo in a bit.”

After exchanging a few more words and directions, she hung up the phone.

She opened her email, pulled out the 9 pictures that made up the nine-grid, and posted them on Weibo.

[Tang Shu: Treats coming your way——picture, picture…JPG. Everyone can comment; in the evening, fifty lucky fans will be selected to receive posters, celebrating the breakthrough of two million fans.]

The 9 high-definition pictures were added one by one into the nine-grid, three sets of images, each with three pieces. She clicked ‘send’.

Shortly after, she refreshed the page and saw that fans had already started commenting below.

[My God, these photos are so cool!]

[This face… I’m so jealous!]

[It’s not just high in looks; what’s important is this aura! If she doesn’t take on the role of a femme fatale, it would be unjust!]

[Now I know why Director Xie personally picked Tang Shu. Who could resist such charisma?]

[To all the fans of those little flowers, are you convinced or not?!]

[Damn, I had no idea Uncle Tang could pull off a black skirt with such dashing ease, exuding a graceful vibe??]

[Tang Shu is powerful, the picture beside the window is too mysterious! It’s like she has a belly full of untold stories, what’s with that!]

[I really want to know the stories behind Uncle Tang. This isn’t just a photo album; it’s clearly a collection of stories!]

[Uncle Tang is mighty!]

[Uncle Tang is mighty! +1]

…

Soon, the person involved realized a certain peculiarity in the comment section.

Uncle Tang… what the heck?

One person typing it wrong is fine, but now so many fans have started typing Tang Shu as Uncle Tang?

That obviously meant something was up.

Before Tang Shu could respond to the fans’ messages, she directly clicked into Weibo’s trending searches and found that she was indeed on the hot search lists.

And not just with one entry.

[Director Xie: Choosing Tang Shu is for the money.], ranked first

[Director Xie: Just this, who else can top the charts?], ranked fifth

[Tang Shu’s moves.], ranked tenth

[The nickname ‘Uncle Tang’.], ranked thirteenth

The first three hot searches were easy to understand, but the last one… what the heck?

Curious, Tang Shu clicked to read it and was immediately met with disbelief.

What’s with you modern people, always loving to give others nicknames?
