While Hong Dali was enjoying himself without a care in the world, the hype of Li Nianwei’s concert had yet to come to an end.

There were no stupid people in the entertainment industry—especially the manager, Zhang Cai. She had mentioned that Li Nianwei would hold another concert in the near future. Although the details had not been set in stone, the entire entertainment industry was hyped up. Subsequently, as Li Nianwei’s manager, Zhang Cai was voted to be the cutest person of the year online.

Xinhai Weipo, the biggest Weipo in Heavenly State, had gathered more than 500 million registered users. All the young men and women who were well versed in Weipo gathered here.

In this information era, almost every artist had an account on Weipo. Hence, the biggest fans gathered here as well. First-hand news was often leaked from Weipo to other sources.

There was usually much going on on Weipo, but it was exceptionally bustling on this day.

Kuge Official Sheng Wenshi: “Unable to explain my shock. That comfortable feeling that shot through my body, from the soles of my feet to my head. If God grants me another chance, I am willing to give everything so that Miss Nianwei’s vocals may stay young forever. This is not love, this is idolization. If I have to set a time limit for this idolization, I hope it will be ten thousand years.”

Penghui Films Music Director: “In order to obtain the license for using Miss Li Nianwei’s song, I risked my old bones. I am now covered in bruises and injuries. But it was all worth it. I do not regret it. I would also like to announce that Wind Pursuer has been renamed to The Gale Flash . The theme song will be Miss Nianwei’s ‘Lightning Pursuit.’ I hope everyone likes it.”

Veteran musician Wang Bo: “Having been in the music industry for so many years, this is the first time I have been shocked by a newcomer. That feeling, yes, there are no other words to describe it other than ‘shocking.’”

All these messages were just the tip of the iceberg.

Other than music producers and film companies, many other singers and actors were discussing on Weipo too. Those who had seen the video of the concert praised it highly. Countless netizens were particularly fond of this phrase: “You just want me to genuflect? I’ll do it!”

While the internet was busy, Li Nianwei’s manager, Zhang Cai was just as busy.

“Hello, how are you? I am Zhang Cai. Um, the endorsement for the shampoo, endorsement fee… 600,000 yuan. Okay. I will discuss this with management and get back to you. Thank you.”

“Hello, how are you? This is Caiwei Entertainment. I am Zhang Cai. The endorsement for Jia Ning Electronics? Endorsement fee is 750,000 yuan. Okay. I understand. I will discuss with management and get back to you. Thank you.”

Her responses were basically the same. Every time, she said she would discuss with management, but the actual situation was—

“Young Master, twelve companies have called us within the last two hours to request that Nianwei endorse their products. These products range from livelihood to technology. And the endorsement fees add up to… 5.45 million. Should we have Nianwei accept these endorsement deals? After all, setting up this company has cost Young Master quite the sum of money.” Looking at the records in her hands, Zhang Cai could feel her heart pounding.

Zhang Cai might not have been a manager for long, but she had five or six years of experience. For a newcomer to receive endorsement deals worth such huge amounts was something she had never dreamed of. Now that it had happened before her eyes, she did not know how she should feel.

Hong Dali’s head was resting on Li Nianwei’s soft and supple thighs. He turned his body reluctantly. “No. If Sister Nianwei gets too busy, I won’t have a pillow to lie on. Tell them Sister Nianwei is busy and has no time.”

And then he continued to sleep.

The hype on the internet continued over the next few days. People started to speculate about the mysterious concert organizer, Hong Dali. It started with a post that someone wrote online titled “God-like concert planning.” The contents of the post analyzed the god-like planning from a bunch of different angles. The author had collected information about the little details that no one else had noticed. He summed up everything from when Li Nianwei sang at Ye Lai Xiang nightclub to the construction of the stage to how the news had spread. He also analyzed the significance of the 40 luxury sports cars that had appeared. This post was forwarded and sought out by countless people.

Within a few hours, the post had caught the attention of veteran economic planners. They had come to the same conclusion after their own analysis. Following a mad rush to gather sufficient resources, along with the publicity online, a program called “God-Level Plan” was put on the Variety Channel, on a live broadcast.

According to the statistics provided by the TV stations, the viewership ratings reached 4.67% before the live broadcast started.

Host: “Hello, everyone. This is the Variety Channel. Regarding the recent news about goddess Li Nianwei, I am certain everyone knows her by now. How was Miss Li Nianwei able to shoot to fame overnight? Everyone must be curious. Undeniably, Miss Li Nianwei can sing very well. But without the meticulous planning of the concert, the news would not have spread so quickly. We have with us veteran economics expert Professor Tian Hongqing to analyze this with us.”

Tian Hongqing: “Hello, host. Hello, everyone.”

Host: “Professor Tian, I’m sure you have heard of the goddess phenomenon. Could you tell our viewers who are watching us on TV about the planning for this concert?”

Tian Hongqing: “Sure. Everyone knows that an artist’s fame relates to their ability. This should be basic. The hype created by the team backing up the artist plays a part too. In my opinion, Miss Li Nianwei’s capability is beyond doubt. What was really powerful was the planning capability and how carefully it was executed by the team.”

Host: “Let us invite Professor Tian to elaborate further on the meticulous planning of the high-end concert, so as to unravel the mystery of the concert and the mystery of how Miss Li Nianwei was able to shoot to fame overnight. Welcome, everyone!”
