“Are you stupid? You’ve only read her manga for a short time, and you’re already giving her so much,” Jiang Yining said calmly.

“I like Author Ningxin, and I wanted to support her. It’s like cheering for your idol.” When Ye Xiaoxi was reading the manga, she felt that the female lead was a little similar to Yining. Hence, she especially liked it. “Besides, five hundred thousand isn’t much for me. Yining, you won’t blame me, right?”

How could Jiang Yining bear to blame her?

After all, the money would go into her pocket. She was just curious if Xiaoxi really liked her manga that much.

“If you like it, then go ahead.”

“Hehe, Yining, 1 knew it. You definitely wouldn’t stop me.”

Ye Xiaoxi happily topped up 500,000 and tipped Ningxin.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Yining heard the phone in her pocket make a soft sound.

[Breaking news, breaking news! Reader Jiang Family’s Little Sunflower has tipped Author Ningxin with 500,000 RMB! Congratulations to Ningxin for skyrocketing popularity! Take first place on the website!!!]

[F*ck! Tycoon! Such a huge reward!]

[Author Ningxin’s comic is worth 500,000 yuan!]

[Author, for the sake of the reward, please update!]

[Author Ningxin, fight on! 1 will also contribute 1000 yuan! I’m just expressing my support!]

[Ning Bao, let’s work together to bring Author Ning to the top! Hot topic! ]

The fans had spontaneously formed alliances and began coordinating activities.

Ye Xiaoxi, who was the top reward reader, was also pulled into the group chat of true love fans.

After the class ended.

Jiang Yining looked at her holding her phone and muttering to herself seriously.

Asked her what she was doing.

Ye Xiaoxi said, “I’m helping Author Ning rank on the list. Yining, look, these are all true fans of Author Ning. They’ve already exceeded 50,000 people.”

Jiang Yining silently noted down the group number.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the group chat, giggled, and said, “Yining, I’ll add you to the group. Let’s cheer for Author Ning together.”

“No, 1 don’t have time.”

“Alright then.”

Ye Xiaoxi felt a bit disappointed.

Jiang Yining pointed to the distance and said, “Your driver is here to pick you up.”

Ye Xiaoxi looked up and saw Li Yu walking over in a white shirt and black jeans with an upright posture.

Her cheeks blushed slightly.

Jiang Yining smiled and said, “I’m leaving. You and your little driver can slowly develop your relationship.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Ye Xiaoxi retorted in a low voice.

However, it didn’t sound intimidating at all. Instead, it sounded a little ambiguous.

Jiang Yining shrugged and turned to leave.

Ye Xiaoxi put away her phone, jogged over to Li Yu, and asked softly.

“Is your sister’s condition getting better?”

“A little better. However, 1 was busy with my exams recently and didn’t have time to take care of her, so I sent her back to her hometown.”

“If you’re busy, 1’11 get someone to take care of her. Otherwise, such a young child would definitely feel uncomfortable interacting with strangers,” Ye Xiaoxi said kindly.

Li Yu was touched inside but still said, “Thank you for your kindness. But I already owe you too much. 1 don’t want to owe you any more favors.”

Ye Xiaoxi moved her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she didn’t say anything.

On the way home, Jiang Yining secretly created an alternate account, joined the fan group, and then posted in the group.

[I’m Ningxin. Everyone, you don’t have to work so hard for me. If you like it, just read it more…]

She had just sent a message.

The group exploded. However, it wasn’t welcoming her, but despising her.

[The shameless person above is pretending to be Author Ningxin!] [Author Ningxin won’t bother with us. She’s busy creating comics!] [Everyone, don’t be fooled. This is definitely fake! Haters are trying to impersonate Author Ningxin and break up apart!]

[Group admin, please kick this fake fan out!]

Jiang Yining didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

[I’m really Ningxin…]

She had just finished typing and hadn’t had the time to send it out.

A line of words appeared on the group page.

[Sorry, you have been removed from the Group chats.]

Jiang Yining was speechless.

Alright then.

This was probably the most awkward manga author experience.

She had kindly advised her fans not to work so hard, but she was treated as an imposter.

Jiang Yining paused for a moment.

She posted an announcement on Weibo and the official website, advising her fans not to create groups specifically for her to hit the leaderboards and do publicity.

She wasn’t an idol and didn’t need these things.

When the fans saw this message, they realized that the person who had just joined the group was indeed Ningxin!

In an instant, the group of fifty thousand fans erupted and added Jiang Yining’s QQ number.

They attempted to pull her back into the group.

Jiang Yining’s QQwas paralyzed every time she opened it.

In the end, she simply gave up.

It was already past seven o’clock when she returned home.

Jiang Yining opened the manga and was about to start writing when she realized that the number of fans on the official website had soared to two million.

On Weibo, she has almost 1.5 million fans!

This growth rate was truly astonishing!

Jiang Yining also fulfilled her promise this time and directly sent out a welfare of one hundred thousand dollars.

Not long after.

The word ‘Ningxin’ once again reached the third place on the trending searches!

The number of fans in Ningxin’s hardcore fan group has also increased to two hundred thousand!

The popularity of the Weibo topic #But My Boss Wants to Marry Me # approached nearly ten million!

On the other side.

Major media outlets received the benefits from Jin Yuhua and began reporting on Yan Ruo. However, despite several rounds of promotion, her popularity wasn’t even half as high as Jiang Yining’s, and she spent several times more money.

Jin Yuhua became anxious and advised Yan Ruo, “All Ruo, why don’t we learn from Ningxin and stimulate our readers by sending red envelopes? 1 think the media’s promotional efforts are not as strong as the fans’.”

Other than Su Manman’s initial repost, there were no other well-known media outlets involved in the sudden rise in Ningxin’s popularity.

It was all thanks to the fans’ spontaneous encouragement and activeness.

Jin Yuhua envied and felt jealous that her eyes turned red.

Yan Ruo felt annoyed, “Can you not keep mentioning her? She’s just a newly emerging artist. What right does she have to compete with me? When I officially start the comic exhibition, I’ll definitely have more fans than her.”

She had 18 million fans on Weibo.

Ningxin had two million.

How could they be compared?

If Jin Yuhua hadn’t followed her for five to six years and taken care of her like her own sister, with Yan Ruo’s temper, she would have chased her away long ago.

Jin Yuhua was a veteran manager and was very sensitive to the trends in the comics world.

She could feel that Ningxin’s popularity was far from its peak.

However, she couldn’t persuade Yan Ruo.

She quietly left the room and called Yan Han. “Mr. Yan, Ah Ruo’s comic exhibition has encountered some trouble. I’d like to ask you to talk to her.”

Jin Yuhua briefly explained the situation to Yan Han.

Yan Han said in a deep voice, “Give the phone to Ah Ruo.”

“Sure.”

Jin Yuhua walked in and handed the phone to Yan Ruo.

When Yan Ruo saw that the number was her father’s, she glared at her angrily.

This person is siding with outsiders!

She paid her salary, but she went to her father to complain.

She was really too evil!

Jin Yuhua wasn’t afraid of this fierce little girl.

She insisted on giving her the phone.

Yan Ruo pouted and said unhappily, “Daddy.”

“What did I tell you before you returned to the country?”

“I have to listen to Assistant Jin, not to be willful or cause trouble.”

“Have you done that?”

“… No,” Yan Ruo said gloomily.

“All Ruo, if you continue to disobey Assistant Jin, I won’t allow you to return to the country in the future. Do you understand?” Yan Han’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was full of dignity.

“Understood.”

Yan Ruo answered obediently.

After ending the call, she raised her phone and was about to hit her.

Jin Yuhua quickly dodged..
