Yun Liuli patted Gu Qingcheng’s arm, indicating for him not to worry. Standing next to Gu Qingcheng with a smile, she even graciously removed her mask, revealing a gentle smile at her fans.
After all, these girls came because they liked Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli had experienced what it was like to like someone, so she didn’t want to let these girls who liked her go home disappointed.
Perhaps because Yun Liuli was in an awesome mood and feeling sweet, she too wanted to share this sweetness with others.
“Did Miss Fairy Liuli just smile at us?”
“Yes, I think she’s smiling at us…”
“Wah! Our Miss Fairy looks so pretty when she’s smiling!”
Yun Liuli’s fans nearly fainted from sweetness after seeing Yun Liuli’s pretty face!
Little Meng was in charge of managing Yun Liuli’s fan club and official fan group now. Little Meng had, as the fan club president, accidentally revealed Yun Liuli’s whereabouts in the group when she was chatting with the fans.
As the group consisted of loyal and hardcore fans, Little Meng didn’t take precautions.
Little Meng had reminded the fans time and again that they were going to be quality fans who protected their Miss Fairy, saying that they shouldn’t charge up to their idol and hug her the instant they saw her, lest they scare their Miss Fairy!
Although Little Meng valued superficial appearances usually, she was rather outstanding when it came to serious work. Else, Fang Yan wouldn’t have appointed Little Meng as Yun Liuli’s assistant.
In managing Yun Liuli’s fan club, Little Meng started from the most basic and had her own rules—that was, to strictly forbid Sasaeng fans[1]. Fans of Miss Fairy Liuli weren’t allowed to bring their idol troubles!
Once a Sasaeng fan was discovered, they would be removed from the fan club and forever be denied access.
Hence, Yun Liuli’s fans were different from Fu Tianci’s, who ran to their idol the instant they saw him. Yun Liuli’s fans would surround Yun Liuli and take photos of or with her, ask for a photograph of her and Gu Qingcheng, and strongly request that Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli take a photo together. They would also guarantee to only upload it within their fan group and not leak them to the public. They were very, very cute fan babies!
Yun Liuli answered whatever she was asked, and she also took the presents from her fans personally before stuffing them into Gu Qingcheng’s arms for him to help her take them home. She said it wasn’t convenient to take the presents with her since she was going to film “Forest Adventures”!
When those fans saw their “brother-in-law” holding their presents, they nearly cried out of happiness.
There was a traffic jam today. Seeing that she wouldn’t be able to make it, Little Meng didn’t go to pick Yun Liuli up. The two of them arranged to meet at the airport.
When Little Meng arrived, she saw that the fans had surrounded Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng, so she hurriedly squeezed over and protected Yun Liuli, who was in the center. But seeing that those little fans hadn’t tried their best to squeeze forward to get near their idol like other fans did, Little Meng felt that she had done a good deed!
She had done a great job of managing Miss Liuli’s fan club. Look at how adorable these fans of Miss Fairy were—they weren’t aggressively pouncing onto her.
Although reluctant to part, seeing that Yun Liuli’s flight was to take off in half an hour, the fans reminded her to rest for a while in the VIP room first!
The fans sent Yun Liuli to the VIP lounge. A fan also reminded her that filming “Forest Adventures” was very tiring, urging Yun Liuli to seize the opportunity to rest after boarding the flight later!
Some other fans also said they came from another city to send Yun Liuli off. They said they would be sending Yun Liuli off at the boarding gate later. Such sweet fans they were.
Yun Liuli knew that those fans had rushed overnight to send her off at the airport, and after she left later, they would rush back to their own cities. Hence, Yun Liuli asked Little Meng to buy her fans milk tea and sandwiches. She also told her to remind the fans not to fly there just to send her off at the airport. She said that she would notify them in advance if she were to go to another city, and those fans could then go to the airport to see her!
Holding onto the hot milk tea and hot sandwiches, those fans were so touched they nearly cried. How could their Miss Fairy Liuli indulge her fans so much! They loved Miss Fairy Liuli even more now! They wanted to follow Miss Liuli to the filming location for “Forest Adventures” to protect their Miss Fairy!
Yun Liuli’s newly appointed manager, Xing Qiaoman, had yet to meet her artist, yet she already discovered… that this artist tended to make it to trending news.
She saw someone on Weibo exposing a photo of Yun Liuli’s lover sending Yun Liuli off at the airport, and this Weibo post instantaneously went viral.
Luckily, Xing Qiaoman was quick to respond. She quickly gathered a water army to prepare to sway discussion on the internet, striving hard to make sure Yun Liuli’s public image of “brave girl fighting for her love” didn’t fall apart too badly. She also got her team to prepare another packaging plan—”sweet girl in love.”
Xing Qiaoman then contacted Little Meng and got her to speak to the fan club, wanting to get everyone to support Yun Liuli’s romance.
Because her public image of “brave girl fighting for her love” attracted quite a lot of fans, now that news of her confirmed romance was trending on the web, Xing Qiaoman discovered that some fans were no longer fans.
The reason for that wasn’t because Yun Liuli had started a new romance. It was because they were originally counting on working hard alongside Yun Liuli to pursue someone they loved. But before they managed to succeed, Yun Liuli had easily succeeded. This meant that this was a superficial world where looks were of utmost importance, causing them to lose faith in chasing after their love. Hence, they chose not to be fans anymore.
There were also people who failed to woo their beloved and were originally planning to commiserate with the super good-looking Miss Fairy Liuli, who was in the same plight. But upon learning that Miss Fairy Liuli had successfully wooed her crush, they didn’t want to forcibly bask in the stench of someone else’s romance while grieving over their own unrequited love. Therefore, they chose to exit the fan club.
Previously, Yun Liuli’s fans had exploded in number due to her public image of “brave girl fighting for her love.” Today, a large number of fans had also chosen to quit her fan club because the “brave girl fighting for her love” succeeded in wooing her lover.
Of course, there were also fans who were attracted to that public image of Yun Liuli and remained her fan. They very rationally congratulated Yun Liuli on succeeding in wooing her lover. Furthermore, Yun Liuli’s looks… and those of her lover, were so good that they couldn’t help but like this couple.
With a large number of fans exiting the fan club, the team in charge of packaging Yun Liuli felt panic-stricken. Only Xing Qiaoman remained calm. Since one public persona fell apart… then make up another public persona of “girl in love”!
After all… there was no conflict between these two public personae!
Xing Qiaoman never liked to waste time troubling over problems. She liked to find a solution at the first instant after the problem occurred.
From “brave girl fighting for her love” to “girl in love,” there was a process of pursuit in the middle. So long as the process was difficult enough… the fans who liked Yun Liuli for her public persona of “brave girl fighting for her love” would ultimately return as fans!
