After Transmigrating into the Main Shou, I Topped the Paranoid Big Shot 26

Chapter 26

Trending Topic: #ZongMoLiveStream
Number one in the entertainment section!

【Wuwuwu I missed it last night, is there a replay of the live stream?】
【Yueyin Live doesn’t have replays, but the number one and two on the leaderboard went crazy (lights cigarette). Poke me for screenshots.】
【The number one and two on the leaderboard were too fierce. The live stream lagged and kicked me out several times last night :)】
【Confirmed with my eyes, it’s a wife I can’t afford to marry [Crying loudly]】
【Just asking, has this person bought a yearly subscription to Weibo’s trending topics?】
【Who is this?? Why don’t I know him??】
【@CEOMoIsHere Our Mo Mo is an actor who has been in the industry for two years, his representative works include…】
【Ah, isn’t he a model?】
Whenever an enthusiastic netizen introduced Zong Mo, the trending topic of DAVID magazine would become popular again, like an inescapable hurdle.
Zong Mo: …

An Lan comforted him, “Don’t mind what these people say about you not being clean. I know you… uh.”
An Lan paused for a moment, then continued, “You’re not particularly unclean either.”
Zong Mo: ?
“Cursing is one thing, but the December issue of DAVID has already been reprinted twice and is still out of stock. It’s just some people being duplicitous.”
Zong Mo: What? This magazine has sold out several times?
He had completely lost all face in this lifetime.

“This is just a stepping stone. You won’t shoot for it anymore in the future,” An Lan said. “I estimate that your name will be cleared by the time Chasing the Light Boy is released. At that time, everyone will be too busy feeling sorry for you.”
Look at the words An Lan used, “cleared.”
Zong Mo: …Fine.

Ruan Chi had Zong Mo post another Weibo to promote the drama. All the melon-eaters who had come because of the live stream and trending topics could see it at a glance, and there would always be some curious ones willing to test the waters.
The view count for the first episode of the web drama Conquering the Entertainment Industry exceeded one million on the night of the live stream, and ten million on the third day.
Besides the hard-core promotion, after the first batch of viewers took the plunge, there were many enthusiastic discussions from new fans.
Who said the entertainment industry was full of good-looking people? His CEO Ruan just didn’t take the usual path and broke through with his face.

【The male protagonist of the novel has a face, save me!】
【So damn handsome, who understands.】
【CEO Shen, kill me!!!】
Zong Mo watched the drama and felt that Ruan Chi didn’t just win people over with his face; his aura also played a big part.
A CEO personally playing a CEO, who wouldn’t be captivated?
Everyone searched the cast list for the actor Ruan Chi, but of course, they found nothing.
Of course, Ruan Chi had a Weibo account; otherwise, how could he conveniently monitor his golden canary? But he didn’t use his real name or get it verified, so he was low-key and mysterious, and no one could find him.
Only when the entire internet was looking for him did he change his Weibo name and get it verified.
Weibo name: Ruan Chi
Verification: Signed artist of Xingcheng Entertainment

Zong Mo: “Wait, there’s really a Xingcheng Entertainment?”
“It’s just for the name,” Ruan Chi said. “For convenience.”
Zong Mo’s mind expanded. “For tax evasion?”
Ruan Chi only spat out two words, “Zong Mo.”
Zong Mo lowered his head and continued to scroll through his phone, pretending he hadn’t said anything.

Ruan Chi’s Weibo verification was perfectly timed, sending him directly to the third spot on the trending list that night.
Zong Mo: ?
“CEO Ruan, did you buy a trending topic for yourself?”
Ruan Chi: “Is there a need?”
A small change in the eye of the storm, yet it had the powerful force to stir up a new wave of frenzy.

【LMAO, it’s really Xingcheng Entertainment. The crew is so rigorous.】
【I checked, and this company really exists. But why is it 100% owned by Ruan Chi?】
【Being his own boss is quite something. No wonder he’s the male lead right after his debut.】
【Did no one notice that the chief producer and executive producer in the opening credits are also Ruan Chi???】
【Holy shit, it’s not CEO Shen, it’s CEO Ruan!!!】
【An overbearing CEO walks into reality. When is he walking into my home?】
【Husband, I’m ready!!】
【Husband, don’t be mad, okay? Hurry up and drive the Maserati to pick up the kids from school tut】
Zong Mo: ?
Such a bizarre drama, and Ruan Chi was clearly bringing his own capital into the crew, yet not a single person was cursing him.
Although he did have acting skills—acting as his true self—and his looks were on point, but.
There were even people calling him husband?
Zong Mo couldn’t accept it.
Ruan Chi was dressed warmly and comfortably, enjoyed himself from beginning to end while filming, and could even gain a batch of wife fans while looking cool.
He, Zong Mo, had staked his lifelong innocence, even taken off his clothes and shown off his good physique, but besides those who cursed him for being unclean, there were only those who treated him as a wife.

Zong Mo first put aside the annoying netizen comments and looked at the Weibo of the mysterious overbearing CEO, Gong #2 from the novel.
It was indeed very mysterious. The last post was from two years ago, a small Pomeranian smiling sweetly on the grass.
So cute!
Zong Mo asked excitedly, “CEO Ruan, you also have a dog?”
“Mm.”
“Where is it now?”
“Dead.”
Zong Mo was stunned, feeling a little bad. His smile disappeared. “…What happened?”
Did CEO Ruan torment the dog like he tormented him?

Ruan Chi: ?
“Died of old age two years ago,” Ruan Chi said. “Lived to be thirteen.”
Quite a long life, a peaceful death.
Zong Mo calculated. Reversing the timeline, that was from when Ruan Chi was 10 to 23 years old.
Spanning childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood.
How deep must that bond have been.
Zong Mo had always wanted a pet but was afraid of parting, so he never made up his mind. It was a good thing he didn’t get one; who knew when he would transmigrate.
He really couldn’t imagine CEO Ruan raising a dog.
…Wait.

He scrolled down Ruan Chi’s Weibo and found that Ruan Chi was unusually good to the dog, with an extremely high tolerance. He not only let it on the sofa but also on the bed. Of course, Ruan Chi himself was not in the photos, at most just a hand petting the dog.
Zong Mo zoomed in on the photo.
The sofa was covered with a cloth cover, probably to prevent the dog from digging. The bedsheets and quilt cover were also made of durable material, looking very sturdy.
But the shape of this sofa and bed seemed a bit familiar.
Through the corners of the walls and other furniture occasionally revealed in the background, Zong Mo finally confirmed.
This was the bed he often slept on, Ruan Chi’s bed, and the sofa in the first-floor living room.
And then his whole person was not well.
The time the dog died and the time he started keeping a golden canary, perfectly connected.
Zong Mo: …
It wasn’t entirely unimaginable to picture CEO Ruan raising a dog.
Didn’t he say before that petting him was like petting a dog?

On the night he was trending, Ruan Chi stayed in Zong Mo’s room, lying on the bed and playing with his phone, scrolling through Weibo, more focused than when he was working.
Playing with his phone for a long time got boring. Zong Mo had nothing to do and asked curiously, “Are you happy being a celebrity, CEO Ruan?”
Ruan Chi didn’t throw the question back, but directly admitted, “It’s been quite interesting so far.”
So interesting he didn’t even look up.

Lying on the bed, each playing with their own phone, felt very strange, a bit like an old married couple who had lost their passion after many years of marriage.
Zong Mo: ?
Pah, what marriage, what old married couple.
He opened Weibo again and found that Ruan Chi had already rushed to the number one spot on the trending list.
Zong Mo: ? What kind of heaven-sent star is this?
He refreshed, and the trending list was full of Lu Bo.
Zong Mo was puzzled and clicked on Ruan Chi’s Weibo again, seeing the drama promotional poster he had posted half an hour ago.
The center of the poster was, of course, himself, a full-body long shot, with the bustling night view of the city as the background.
Zong Mo thought it was very ordinary. A close-up might have been more effective, and it would be best if the buttons weren’t buttoned up so tightly.
What was so special about this poster? How did it get a hundred thousand likes in such a short time?
Zong Mo clicked on the comments section and saw the top-liked comment.
[Lu Bo L: Congratulations on your debut.]
Zong Mo: ?

He was a little confused by the main gong‘s schemes and could only ask CEO Ruan.
Ruan Chi was disdainful. “Tsk, he leeched off it.”
Zong Mo was suspicious. “Teacher Lu is leeching off your popularity…?”
Ruan Chi temporarily put down his phone and shot him a look. “Isn’t he?”
Zong Mo refused to answer and continued to look at the skyscraper-like netizen comments under Lu Bo’s blessing.
[Holy shit, Teacher Lu, it’s fresh!]
[Congratulations to actor Ruan Chi on his debut! May your friendship with Teacher Lu last forever!]
[What kind of rich family love is this?]
[I really want to ship it, what should I do?]
[Sorry everyone, I’ll ship it first as a sign of respect.]
Zong Mo: ?

He remembered that in the novel, whenever the main shou was on the trending list with Lu Bo, although there were some who shipped them, there were many more who cursed him for leeching.
It wasn’t until Lu Bo personally posted on Weibo to defend him that the insults gradually subsided.
Why was it like this now??
Not only was no one cursing Ruan Chi, but the CP fans and solo fans could also coexist peacefully.
Before long, a CP Super Topic was even created, but they were arguing endlessly over whose name should come first.
Zong Mo: …
The novel didn’t write about this situation when the main couple’s CP Super Topic first appeared, did it?

“Why haven’t you followed me yet?” Ruan Chi, who was beside him, suddenly spoke. “You, come and comment too.”
Zong Mo obediently clicked follow and quickly sent his debut blessing:
[Congratulations on your debut~]
Four simple words, but…
“CEO Ruan, I’m being cursed at again!!”
“What are they cursing you for?”
“Cursing me for copying Teacher Lu, for leeching off his popularity…”
“Hehe,” Ruan Chi smiled meaningfully. “You leeched it back.”
Zong Mo: ?

Because of Lu Bo’s blessing, Ruan Chi became the center of the gossip.
Even with the fighting power of Lu Bo’s fans, they couldn’t dig up anything about him.
This mysterious feeling actually added a lot of charm, making him even more curious.
And, the male protagonist was also the company’s boss, chief producer, and executive producer. He was clearly not simple. A confirmed look, a person you can’t afford to curse at.
Also a person worthy of Teacher Lu!
[This marriage is very much approved!!]
Zong Mo secretly switched to his side account and stated the facts with a straight face: [No, CEO Ruan is in my bed right now.]
Someone immediately replied to him: [My husband is at the Civil Affairs Bureau with me right now. Please don’t leech.]
Zong Mo: …
Isn’t he the main shou*? Where did the protagonist’s halo go?*
Could it be that the protagonist’s halo is just about being topped?
He calmed down and thought about it. It really seemed to be the case, and he became even more silent.

Ruan Chi suddenly spoke, ordering, “You’re not allowed to follow Lu Bo.”
Zong Mo switched back to his Weibo and saw: [Lu Bo L followed you five minutes ago.]
And the CP Super Topic for Lu Bo and Ruan Chi had just been created and was already celebrating the New Year, because Ruan Chi had followed Lu Bo back in seconds.
Zong Mo was stunned. He couldn’t help but overthink. Lu Bo had specifically followed Ruan Chi and sent his blessings. Could it be so he could also follow him without being too obvious?

“CEO Ruan, then why did you follow him?”
“I want to see what he’s up to.”
“Because Teacher Lu followed me, I’m being cursed at again!!” Zong Mo was on the verge of tears. “And if I don’t follow back, they’ll curse me for being ungrateful…”
Ruan Chi’s tone was light. “Hmm~ leech off him again.”
Seeing Ruan Chi playing with his phone right under his nose, and the universally celebrating CP Super Topic, Zong Mo was angry from two sides.
He couldn’t understand and asked, “Why does no one curse you, only me?”
Ruan Chi replied without looking up, “Tall trees attract the wind.”
Zong Mo: ?
Could he be a bigger tree than CEO Ruan?
“Didn’t you buy my fans for me…?”

Ruan Chi was silent for a moment, then looked over. “It’s also because your acting was too bad before. It was fine when you acted with old veterans; they’re not traffic stars and don’t have many fans, unlike Lu Bo.”
Zong Mo thought about it again. It really seemed to be the case. And the traffic brought by DAVID magazine was extremely polarized. They either lusted after him crazily or were disgusted by him being dirty.
…Good thing the even dirtier set of photos was bought out by CEO Ruan.

Zong Mo stayed by himself for a while and didn’t ask any more questions. Ruan Chi also fell silent, addicted to scrolling through Weibo, unable to extricate himself.
What was this feeling of an old married couple who had lost their passion after many years of marriage that kept popping up?
Zong Mo took advantage of Ruan Chi’s inattention and pounced, snatching his phone with a quick hand.
Ruan Chi finally looked over, frowning and saying sternly, “Give it back.”
Zong Mo was tough for a rare change and said, “No!”
Ruan Chi suddenly smiled. Zong Mo understood. His CEO Ruan loved to smile, but seven out of ten times it was because he was angry, and three times it was a sneer.

Zong Mo held onto the phone and didn’t let go, his tone softening. “CEO Ruan, can you stop playing with your phone?”
“Are you telling me not to play with my phone?”
Zong Mo: …
There was probably another sentence left unsaid: Even Old Master Ruan has never told him not to play with his phone.

“Please stop playing with your phone, okay, Ruan Chi big brother?”
That’s right, a Big Fierce 1 should know how to act cute!
“Then what should I play with, hmm?”
