Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That night was destined to be restless.
The entire internet was turbulent.
Hundreds of millions of netizens were all discussing one person. That person was Tang Hao, the chairman of Haotian Group, and the man who had singlehandedly created a legend in the business world.
Tang Hao kept a low profile. He had never made an official appearance in front of the media. Many people thought that he was a middle-aged man.
After all, most successful business owners were in their thirties or forties.
Now, they realized that Tang Hao was only twenty years old.
That was too shocking!
At twenty years old, he had created a large corporation with annual profits of over ten billion. That was nothing short of legendary.
“That’s too exaggerated! He’s only twenty years old!”
“Too awesome!”
The people exclaimed. They had nothing but admiration for Tang Hao.
Envy?
How could they envy someone with godlike abilities?
As for women, they became fanatics.
They were searching for all the information about their idol on the internet and crazily sharing all the related articles and photos on Weibo and Wechat Moments.
They flooded Z University’s Tieba forum and crippled it.
There were too many of them, and they all called themselves Tang Hao’s wife. They made all sorts of posts declaring their love and spammed the forum.
The Z university students were dumbfounded.
They had never thought that their Tieba forum would be flooded so badly one day. The admin was about to cry.
The girls from Z University were furious because there were many more people who wanted to snatch their Prince Charming.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao’s fans were still searching for his Weibo account.
“Where’s the Prince Charming? Why doesn’t he have a Weibo?”
Every time he saw such comments, Tang Hao’s would feel inexplicably nervous.
He checked on the number of followers on his account. The count was still at two, and they were bot accounts.
He immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his account was very well-hidden. No one knew about it, so it should not be discovered.
Ring ring!
His phone rang again.
That night, his phone had already rung many times.
“Congratulations, Lil Tang, you’re popular! Haha! Westridge is popular now too!” The call was from Liu Dajun.
“You’ve finally gone viral, Lil Tang. I told you that you’ll be popular sooner or later!” President Li also teased him.
“Why did you suddenly go viral, Brother Hao?” Cao Fei also called.
Many people who had his phone number called him. They congratulated him and teased him.
Even General Bai called.
“Comrade Tang Hao, I’m congratulating you on behalf of the Agency! You’re popular, and that’s a good thing! You’re an Internet celebrity now, and you have to set a good example for the Huaxianese youth!”
General Bai spoke seriously, but he could not help but laugh.
“Hahaha! This is hilarious! You’ve gone viral! What would I give to see your face now?” General Bai laughed loudly.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes the whole time.
Qin Xiangyi also called. Before she could speak, she laughed especially hard.
“Lil Tang, I’m under so much pressure right now! You’ve gotten yourself so many wives overnight!”
“Even you’re making fun of me!” Tang Hao felt helpless.
After chatting for more than an hour, they finally said goodnight to each other.
Not long after they put down their phones, Liu Yan’s call came.
“Chairman Tang, our company’s customer service phone lines are exploding. So many media outlets have contacted me, saying that they want to interview you! My phone has never stopped ringing.
“They’re calling from all over the country, and there are even Dongyingese media too! This is insane!”
Liu Yan looked like she was in a terrible state.
Tang Hao was speechless.
“Chairman Tang, are you going to accept it?”
“Accept what?” Tang Hao said, confused.
“The interview!”
“No!” Tang Hao said hurriedly, “Don’t accept any of them!”
Liu Yan was stunned. “Are you sure?”
“There’s no need! There’s really no need!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright then, I’ll reject all of them! Things will be quite tough for the near future,” Liu Yan said with a dry smile.
The phenomenon lasted even past midnight.
Tang Hao turned off his computer and phone and focused on studying Artifact formations.
Tang Hao went out early the next morning.
Someone recognized him just as he went downstairs. A group of middle-aged women surrounded him, and their eyes were sparkling when they looked at Tang Hao.
“I’ve long thought that you’re an outstanding person, young man! So, you’re that Haotian’s boss! I’ve seen the news. Heheh! You’re so awesome!”
“Let’s take a photo together, young man!”
“Young man, I know a pretty girl. Do you want me to introduce her to you?”
Tang Hao had lived in that apartment for a long time, and many people were familiar with him. They finally knew who Tang Hao after he went viral last night.
They surrounded Tang Hao and chatted enthusiastically.
Tang Hao had a forced smile on his face.
After finally dealing with the group of middle-aged women, Tang Hao walked out.
He dared not take the bus. Instead, he hailed a cab.
The middle-aged driver kept staring at him. “Young man, why do I think that you look like someone?”
“Who is it?”
“A famous person. He’s very powerful and very popular. Don’t you know? His name is Tang Hao. He looks so much like you. You can’t be him, right?” The middle-aged driver asked suspiciously.
“Ahem! How is that possible? I’ve heard of Tang Hao too! He’s very rich. Why would he be riding in a cab?” Tang Hao coughed and said.
“That’s true!” The middle-aged driver nodded and said.
On the drive to the university, the driver never stopped praising Tang Hao, which made him feel extremely awkward.
The car drove near Z University. Tang Hao got off and walked for some distance before reaching the front gate.
When he looked at the gate, Tang Hao was stunned.
Many vehicles were parked at the gate. On them were the logos of various major media organizations, newspapers, magazines, and television stations. They were all guarding the gate, armed with cameras and bazookas.
Some television stations were already filming. They pulled a few passing students over to interview them.
“Excuse me, do you know Tang Hao?”
“I know him! He’s my idol and my Prince Charming. There’s no one in school that doesn’t know him!” A girl shrieked excitedly.
“Then… How is he in school?” The host asked.
“Cool! He’s especially cool!”
The host was stunned. “How is he cool?”
“The way he walks is cool. The way he eats is cool. No matter what he does, he’s always cool!” The girl cupped her hands over her heart and said emotionally.
The host almost rolled his eyes. ‘What a fangirl!’
“Haha! It seems that Tang Hao is a very charming person! Next, we’ll find a boy to ask and see what he thinks of Tang Hao.”
The host walked toward a male student.
