Chapter 762: Gaining Followers
"Shen Dong, do you think this is real? Look at my follower count—I just hit ten thousand, man, it’s so hard to believe. When I saw it online, I thought I’d never make it in my life. But I think I’m not bad-looking either, and all my selfies had no traffic."
"But look, now I have over ten thousand followers and it’s still increasing. I can’t even describe how I’m feeling right now with words. You gotta check and tell me if it’s real or if I’m dreaming."
Lin Qi was feeling particularly insecure, gaping, thinking all of this wasn’t real. Shen Dong came over, looked, and just smiled before saying, "Don’t be nervous, this is real. Besides, there’s nothing to be shocked about. In the future, you’re going to break into even higher levels. I aim to make you a blogger with tens of millions of followers."
Shen Dong said this with a doting smile and indeed with a hint of utter confidence. Upon hearing this, Lin Qi almost fainted. She counted with her fingers to figure out how many zeros were in ten million. Confirming it was indeed that much, she just couldn’t hold back, "Are you sure? You want to bring me up to such a high level? Do you think I can do it?"
"I might look a bit good, but aside from that, I really don’t have any talents. I’m just slowly growing, and even if I did, I’d only be able to twist and turn. I really don’t think I’m cut out for this. Don’t set your hopes too high, or you’ll be disappointed, and if you blame me, that wouldn’t be good. Let’s drop it."
"Maybe you should look for someone else. I still don’t have a lot of funds, and I’m not that good-looking. If I get some fans, people will say I’m a photo scam, and I’m very fragile mentally, I might just break down."
Lin Qi was feeling overwhelmed by all the worries flooding in after feeling like she’d made it and just wanted to shut the app off.
"What’s there to worry about? Wanting to groom you into a top-tier blogger is pretty normal, isn’t it? You have the capability too. Look, just in this short time, you’ve gained so many followers; doesn’t that say something? You’ve got the potential."
"You’re so good-looking, and if we didn’t use that, I honestly wouldn’t know where else to. Plus, don’t you really want to make money? If you become a blogger with millions of followers, making money would be a matter of minutes. You don’t realize how much money such a blogger can earn, any random ad could make your hands go soft from counting money."
"This is definitely worth exploring, so you must give it a try. I’ve paved this path for you, a fast track to success. Do you want to go down this path or think you’re too sensitive to handle it? I just want to remind you of this."
"When I first met you, I felt you were someone who could go all the way with this. Your spirit seemed tough enough. Maybe you can’t accept it right now, but give it time, and you’ll see it’s not as hard or tough as you think."
