Before Cynthia Murong's smear campaign, her Weibo follower count was already close to fifty million, but after the scandal, it dropped to five million.
But once the situation was clarified, not only did her follower count return to its original level, it even broke through to sixty-three million.
So after she posted this Weibo, in just one hour, she received over five hundred thousand replies.
Because she @-mentioned Ian Song, many of Cynthia Murong's fans also clicked into Ian Song's Weibo.
Ian Song's Weibo was only opened recently, and it only has a few selfies posted.
With his naturally handsome looks and unique temperament, many female fans couldn't help but follow him the moment they saw his photos.
They quickly started leaving comments under his photos:
The Zhao Family had risen to prominence thanks to Ian Song.
Recently, all kinds of families had come to pay their respects, and even Charles Zhao's status had risen greatly. Everywhere he went, people would respectfully call him Fourth Master Zhao.
Now that Ian Song had asked him for help, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He readily agreed and promised to find a suitable manager as quickly as possible.
"By the way, is Ian Song the founder of Ian Song Brand WonderTaste Ready-to-Eat Foods?"
"Mr. Song, when will your WonderTaste snacks hit the shelves?"
Thunk thunk thunk! (The sound of piano keys.)
As his fingers danced across the keys, an enchanting piano melody flowed out—so beautiful it could mesmerize anyone.
Five minutes later, Ian finished playing and recording.
Then he uploaded the short video to his Weibo.
Strangely, for seven or eight minutes after posting, there was no reaction at all. But after ten minutes, comments started pouring in at lightning speed.
Wow, this piano piece is amazing! I've listened to it twice and still can't get enough.
Ian, you could live off your looks alone—why are you so talented too? I'm obsessed! It's so good!
Awesome—this piano piece is absolutely addictive!
...
Seeing the flood of comments, Ian couldn't help but smile with pride. Then he checked the System interface again and found his faith power had increased by more than fifty thousand in just over ten minutes.
This is awesome!
Ian couldn't help but clench his fist in excitement.
In the next few hours, more and more fans listened to his piano piece. Not a single person had anything negative to say. As fans kept sharing the video, his follower count broke one million within hours.
And his faith power directly broke through to 800,000.
Just then, Cynthia Murong liked and shared his piano video, causing both his follower count and faith power to surge again.
Then, five top-tier celebrities who had previously supported Cynthia Murong, as well as Jenny Zheng, Elaine Yu, and Big-Beard Zhang, all shared the video too.
When morning came, Ian checked the System interface again and found his faith power had reached over eight million. His Weibo follower count had officially surpassed ten million.
His ready-to-eat foods hadn't even launched yet, so how did he get so much faith power? What Ian Song didn't realize was that nowadays, lots of young women only care about looks and ignore everything else. Thanks to a few photos he'd posted on Weibo, he'd won the favor and admiration of a hundred thousand fangirls.
After handling all these matters, Ian finally let out a small sigh of relief.
He opened his laptop and logged into his Weibo account.
"Huh!"
When he saw his follower count had already reached 330,000, Ian was puzzled—until he realized Cynthia Murong had @-mentioned him.
Plus, a lot of fans were leaving comments asking when Ian Song Brand Ready-to-Eat Foods would launch.
Thinking it over, Ian posted a new update: Ian Song Brand Ready-to-Eat Foods will be on shelves in one week.
Within less than a minute of posting, the replies started pouring in—over a hundred in no time.
Little Fish: Ian-ge is so narcissistic, naming his products after himself.
Little Fish: Ian, you're so full of yourself, naming your products after yourself.
Flowerless: Ian, I can warm your bed—please take me in.
I'm Not Uncle: Ian, please sponsor me.
…………
As he read through the replies, Ian couldn't help but feel a bit strange—and, deep down, a little excited.
Suddenly, an idea struck him.
He brought up the system interface and looked straight at the task bar: Global Faith—gather the faith power of half the world's population. Current faith power: 102,000.
He was surprised to see he'd already gained over a hundred thousand faith power.

Although Ian didn't know exactly why he'd gained so much faith power, he had a hunch it was related to Weibo.
"Might as well try again!"
After thinking it over, Ian took a piano out of his storage ring and set it up in his office. Then he had his phone float in midair, aimed at him for filming.
