"Next, I announce! The most popular internet celebrity beauty of tonight’s draft game, with the most glow sticks is...
Zhao Maomao~ with a tally of 235 glow sticks, becoming tonight’s most beloved internet celebrity beauty at SOS~ Screaming!!"
As the DJ host finished the announcement, the pulsating music once again took over the air inside SOS, elevating the atmosphere to its peak. The screams and howls continued unabated, nearly drowning out the music in the bar.
Although Zhao Maomao already knew she had won before, now that it was officially announced, her heart couldn’t help but race...
For that million RMB prize, she had given it her all...
As one of the last few contestants to perform, all the edges that the other internet celebrities could have pushed had already been pushed by those before her. She had no idea what to perform on stage...
Heading on stage with the mindset of merely participating without any expectation of winning the prize, she casually danced a Korean girl group dance. However, halfway through her performance, the strap of her tube top suddenly snapped. Although she was wearing protective pasties inside, two pink summer nipple covers, it was still a complete wardrobe malfunction...
Initially, she panicked, but unexpectedly, the reaction to the accident was astonishingly positive.
From the moment her strap snapped, the screams from the audience never stopped...
Zhao Maomao was a seasoned internet celebrity and understood all too well what an opportunity looked like. Realizing that this mishap might just be her chance to turn the tide, she decided to take the plunge. Holding the broken strap with one hand, she defiantly finished the several-minutes-long girl group dance...
Her professionalism was touching!

Of course, although she held onto the strap, the large movements of the Korean girl group dance meant that there were bound to be more wardrobe malfunctions, offering a real visual feast to the onlookers below. Usually, you could only see such internet celebrity scandals in domestic areas. How many had the chance to witness it live?
This was exactly why, as Zhao Maomao finished, she instantly received 235 glow sticks, which meant that one-fifth of the people in the entire bar supported her. The first place was as good as secured.
The internet celebrities who continued to go on stage after her tried similar sensational antics, but to no avail...
It wasn’t for lack of giving benefits, but rather the audience had no more votes to give...
The internet celebrities who had performed earlier were green with regret, cursing themselves for not thinking of this. They had simply flirted without giving any real benefits.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
After all, what had Zhao Maomao really lost? The fan service videos she usually filmed were far more risqué than this. But how much could she earn from pleasing those fans? Today, however, it was about a genuine 1 million RMB!
...
And as the announcement concluded, the group of internet celebrities and others all went back to the VIP card tables.
Zhao Maomao retied the strap and, donning a jacket from who-knows-where, timidly sat on the side of a booth...
Just moments ago, she was excited about the million, but now she was feeling uneasy...
This was a million RMB...
Would Gu Heng really be willing to give it to her?
What could she do if Gu Heng went back on his word?
After much thought, apart from the phrase "completely helpless," she couldn’t think of anything else...
First, Gu Heng had only verbally promised the one million reward, without signing a contract or anything. Even if he truly didn’t pay, she wouldn’t even know how to start taking legal action against Gu Heng...
And then there was...
Did she dare to sue?
Not to mention lacking a reason to sue Gu Heng, she wouldn’t dare, even if she had one.
She was only a small-time internet celebrity. To many, her few million followers might seem like a lot, but there were countless others of her caliber across the web.
And Gu Heng?
A billionaire, his investments were in the billions; even her own boss had to flatter and bow before him. He wouldn’t even need to lift a finger himself; Lei Yibin could easily wipe her off the internet celebrity map and ensure that not a single company would dare hire her...
Her income was over a million a year—how many envied her? To offend Gu Heng for the so-called million RMB prize? She’d have to be out of her mind to do that...
But to give up on the million earned through her own exposure and selling, she was not willing...
She could only hope in her heart that Gu Heng would keep his word...
At the moment, Gu Heng was whispering with Lin Jiayun on the side, not noticing Zhao Maomao’s expression or knowing what she was thinking. If he knew, he would’ve just laughed it off, saying she’s just too narrow-minded...
A mere million RMB.
Really not much money.
Since he said he would give it, he definitely wouldn’t renege.
Besides, he had a great time tonight; there was even less chance of him going back on his word.
This kind of happiness was sincere—buying a watch for over 10 million Euros in Geneva, or a private plane worth 6 billion RMB hadn’t made him as happy.
There’s a saying, isn’t there?
Wealth unreturned to one’s hometown is like taking a journey in brocade under the cover of night.
Other than his hometown Qing’an, Hang City was the place where he’d spent the most time, so calling it his second home was rather fitting.
Moreover, this city held many of Gu Heng’s not-so-pleasant memories.
Back in the day, looking too intently at these million-follower internet celebrities might even earn him a disdainful look in return. But now what?
Not only could he openly look at them, but he could also have them pose in any way he wanted to see, and even spend a little money to make this group, who once seemed so out of reach, flirt and sell themselves in public, proudly displaying their most seductive side.
