Anna received a team-up request from "Florian Hollis." Knowing it was him, she accepted it right away.
The duo turned into a trio, and Conrad Sterling glanced at her. He didn’t say anything, but he wasn’t particularly pleased inside.
More of Anna’s friends joined, expanding to a full team of five, and President Sterling was completely out of temper.
Tonight’s livestream ended with Anna achieving an impressive streak of twenty consecutive wins.
The ga promotion concluded, but discussions surrounding her livestream remained highly popular.
Four trending topics were nothing; from start to finish, Anna appeared in six related trending topics, outshining even the hottest variety shows. The ga promoters were thrilled.
Anna was like a lucky charm with her own viral effect!
The initial two trending topics were related to ’Wyatt Jagger’ and ’standing her up,’ with discussions that weren’t particularly friendly toward Anna, suspected to be soone intentionally buying negative publicity against her.
But eventually, Anna’s own popularity overshadowed those discussions.
One trending topic praised Anna’s impressive gaming skills, while another focused specifically on her appearance.
This had beco routine; whenever Anna makes an appearance, her looks are a topic of discussion.
Even when she appeared makeup-free and dressed neutrally today, she still looked stunningly beautiful.
President Sterling contributed a trending topic, and friends who couldn’t be there later cheered her on with screenshots of her twenty-ga winning streak on Weibo.
Soone even dug out that "Florian Hollis" was actually Florian Hollis’ ga ID, and almost everyone who had collaborated with Anna had made so statent, except Wyatt Jagger.
This sparked a hot debate on how well Anna actually got along with people.
[Those who said Anna had poor relationships in the industry, does it hurt now? People she’s made movies with are still friends. Florian rushed over to help despite being so busy. My insignificant film gathered its seven male leads, truly showing the bond in adversity. Their relationships are so good it makes cry!] Anna’s movie also had fans defending it due to its box office success.
[People blad Anna for Wyatt not coming, yet other male actors did. Doesn’t this indicate Wyatt’s the problem? Before filming, he hinted at the female actor’s inferiority in interviews, then did it again after shooting. Anna never said a word, just presented herself as an easy target!] Even bystanders couldn’t stand it and expressed sympathy for Anna.
Not just bystanders, even Wyatt’s fans felt his behavior was inappropriate today, standing Anna up in front of so many viewers during the livestream.
[Wyatt’s behavior today was really lacking in grace. Not only did he stand Anna up, but he also stood up all his fans. Honestly, I’ve been a fan for five or six years, and today I’m really disappointed!!]
[To the one before , I’ve been a fan even longer and feel not just disappointed, but disheartened. Ignoring the big picture for a white lotus, being in the industry for so long yet still so clueless. I’ve decided to unfollow him now and turn my support to Anna.]
[I’ve just realized that President Sterling is truly a charming man. It’s such a sha his looks aren’t in showbiz; the key is he’s also a fantastic gar. Oh my god! How can there be such a perfect man? Has President Sterling started a Weibo account? I really want to call him hubby.]
...
Wyatt never expected that his actions tonight didn’t leave Anna embarrassed and frustrated, but instead left himself in an awkward, humiliating position.
Nurous netizens felt sorry for Anna and were impressed by her poised, professional spirit. Even if we don’t praise her professionalism, who wouldn’t be in awe of Anna’s gaming skills?
Netizens even started a topic, "Wyatt isn’t Sean Shaw, but Anna truly is Charlotte Lynn!"
Anna gained three million new fans overnight, many of whom defected from Wyatt to support her, and a significant portion were fans from their drama CP who transford into her solo fans.
It’s well-known that in a hit idol drama, the biggest benefit typically goes to the male lead.
Because their roles are appealing and easily attract young female fans, the entire drama is a buildup to highlight the male lead.
However, this ti was an exception. Wyatt’s team never expected that his small act of standing Anna up would actually gain fans for her.
In fact, it’s not that they didn’t expect it, but they didn’t anticipate it being so severe.
They also didn’t expect Anna to have such strong fan-attraction capabilities!
Drama fans and CP fans basically all defected to Anna’s side, condemning the male lead and praising the female lead, a rare spectacle.
Anna’s surge in popularity left Wyatt’s team scrambling, unable to react with public relations strategies in ti.
With this incident, during the drama’s peak broadcast period, Anna already beca the new traffic magnet in the industry, reaching top-tier popularity.
...
Conrad Sterling had a Weibo account, an official company-run account previously managed by Ethan. Conrad hardly ever looked at it before.
Lately, he occasionally checks it, mainly to see posts by Anna’s fans reposting her Monts, after being blacklisted and blocked by Anna in her social circles.
Tonight, President Sterling rarely logged into his account, and found the comnts were astonishing, all flooding in from the livestream, calling him "hubby" and saying "I can."
In fact, with Conrad Sterling’s looks and physique, he’s incredibly attractive even within the finance sector.
But he usually cos off as too aloof and unapproachable.
This ti, everyone found out that President Sterling actually plays online gas, and instantly thought he seed much more down-to-earth.
Yet, his image as the untouchable male god remained intact, because his gaming skills were top-notch.
Handso, well-built, money-making, and good at gaming—who wouldn’t want to call such a perfect man "hubby"?
Ethan secretly observed Conrad Sterling’s expression; he knew President Sterling wasn’t much of an internet user and didn’t quite get online lingo.
Now, girls love to post all kinds of flirty comnts online, and seeing so many people comnting rooster calls under his Twitter, Conrad’s brows furrowed tightly.
"Delete all these comnts!"
Conrad gave Ethan a task that made him regret gloating earlier—delete all the "hubby" comnts?
Those two words an sothing different to a married man; he still preferred hearing Anna call him that.
Coming from other won, it didn’t quite have the sa aning.
But dear lord, when will Ethan ever finish deleting over thirty thousand comnts?
Should he remind President Sterling that Twitter has a function to close the comnts section with just one click?
But Ethan quickly realized Conrad hadn’t missed that feature; he had a reason for leaving the comnts open.
Because there’s always that smart netizen who knew just how to hit Conrad’s chord.
"Have you guys noticed that President Sterling and Anna’s usernas are couple nas? Anna Thornton’s ID is Asthmatic Giggle, and President Sterling is Battlefield Doctor. She says she doesn’t like taking dicine, and he says he’s good at acupuncture!"
It’s not just an subtly heated couple na; there’s even a hidden vehicle passing by with a destination beyond a kindergarten.
So CEOs appear upright and proper, but in private they’re quite repressed.
"OMG, I just realized I’ve been fed a mouthful of dog food, and I didn’t even know. So, is there sothing going on between these two?"
"There were rumors before, but they didn’t follow up. It would be great if they were together; their looks and personalities match so well, and their gaming chemistry is brilliant."
"Anyway, they’re so much better matched than Marilyn, let her and Wyatt Jagger huddle for warmth. Anna Thornton and President Sterling are perfect for each other, forget the ’Playful Kid’ ship! Now I’m shipping ’Sterling and Thornton’, like a perfect CEO romance novel!"
"Let humbly ask, doesn’t ’Florian and Thornton’ also seem quite compatible? I’m all about this gorgeous mature woman with a sunny young guy trope, Florian seems really good to Anna, and he saved the day today too."
"Everyone above, please stop it, don’t genuinely ship any CP! Our Anna even has a child now, why would she need a man? She doesn’t, just disdains them! My sister is beautiful on her own!"
"Delete these!" Conrad pointed at the comnts under his Twitter that daringly said Anna Thornton matched with other n.
President Sterling was ruthless; he not only deleted comnts but also wanted to ban those accounts.
The key is, he was deleting so many others but even the one saying ’not shipping any CP, Anna is beautiful on her own’ got deleted too.
Ethan, secretly clutching his identity as a true fan, trembled—President Sterling was forcing people to ship a CP!
"Right, President Sterling, may I ask a question?" Ethan suddenly rembered, "Wasn’t there a skill originally to revive teammates in the ga? If there was, why didn’t you use it to revive in the first ga, President Sterling? Was it because the skill hadn’t been triggered yet?"
Ethan’s question fully exposed the fact that he was a gaming newbie.
Actually, it was a hidden feature in the ga. If there were old users in today’s livestream who played this ga, they’d know you need to collect ten soul-repair shards to revive.
But these shards are extrely hard to gather, only players from over ten years ago in the ga’s initial batch have ever done it.
This suggests just how disruptive Conrad Sterling’s ga play today could be in the esports circle.
The key is, he squandered this rare hidden skill on the preliminary arena, simply a waste, with wealth cos willfulness!
Anyway, if you win, your teammates win too, why revive enemies once they’re all dead?
What’s the point?
Is it just to feed the audience dog food?
Conrad glanced at Ethan, conveying a positive answer with his eyes.
"All right, sorry for bothering you!"
Ethan should’ve had a sense of his own place.
How could he compare to Miss Anna with President Sterling?
