Chapter 86: Fanning

Chapter 86: Fanning

After watching two episodes, Grandfather Chu asked Mother Chu to teach him how to use his phone to catch up on the previous episodes. He stayed up until midnight watching and resumed as soon as he woke up. After finishing, he grumbled angrily, "This Xuan Yuan Zun! Our Qing Sha is so much better!"

Xu Tezhu, who was taking care of Grandfather Chu, thought to himself, "…The old master is actually binge-watching a drama now?"

"Only 20 episodes? That’s not enough!" Grandfather Chu complained, then began searching everywhere for previews.

After watching the previews several times, he still wasn’t satisfied and asked Xu Tezhu, "Do you know what other TV shows An Wen has been in?"

Xu Tezhu: "…" This stumped him—how would he know such things?

"Let’s search on Baidu," Xu Tezhu suggested, helping Grandfather Chu look it up. They discovered she had also appeared in a variety show.

Delighted, Grandfather Chu started watching the show but accidentally opened the bullet comments, which he found distracting since they covered An Wen’s face. However, he noticed that all the comments were praising her.

"What should I do? I want to see people complimenting Wenwen, but I also want to see her face."

Xu Tezhu came up with a solution: "How about you watch the video first, then go back and read the bullet comments afterward?"

Grandfather Chu thought this was a great idea. Happily, he watched the show once, then went back to read the comments.

"Of course she’s shy! Our Wenwen is so beautiful."

"Wenwen has such elegant poise, like a noble lady? Well, she is a noble lady."

"An Duidui—our Wenwen is still a kid who loves telling the truth."

"Hahaha, so many people love Wenwen!"

…

After watching the variety show twice, Grandfather Chu still wasn’t satisfied. "Is there more? Help me find more!"

Xu Tezhu searched around and said, "Chairman, An Wen hasn’t even been in the industry for a full year yet. Her only work so far is Ding Qian Kun, but she has a completed movie and is currently filming Hua Luo Chang An."

Seeing Grandfather Chu’s expression darken—a sign of impending anger—Xu Tezhu quickly scrolled further and finally found something, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Chairman, An Wen recorded an episode of Running Without Limits, but her episode hasn’t aired yet."

"Why hasn’t it aired?" Grandfather Chu demanded angrily.

Xu Tezhu: "…" Old master, why are you yelling at me? My heart can’t take this!

"This show is produced by Watermelon TV and usually airs at 8:30 PM on Sundays," Xu Tezhu explained.

"What day is it today?"

"Tuesday."

"Get me the director of Watermelon TV’s phone number!" Grandfather Chu ordered.

The Watermelon TV Station Director assured him that An Wen’s episode would air that Sunday. Pleased, Grandfather Chu invested some money in the station.

Watermelon TV then posted a preview of An Wen’s episode online and deleted the previously released previews, citing "post-production issues."

Thanks to the high popularity of Xia Jin, An Wen, and Tang Ting, the news immediately trended on Hot Search.

Xu Tezhu: "…" Is the old master… becoming a fan?

The chairman of the Chu Group—fanning over a celebrity?! Xu Tezhu began questioning his life.

Even after all this, Grandfather Chu still wasn’t satisfied. After learning about Weibo from Baidu, he had Xu Tezhu download it for him.

He searched for An Wen and found her Weibo account, only to see that she had posted just four times. The latest was a promotional post for Ding Qian Kun.

The post had over a million likes, with countless comments confessing their love and praising An Wen.

Grandfather Chu felt like he had found his people.

There was a person with the ID name "An Wen Official Fan Group 1."

Grandfather Chu sent them a private message, asking, "How do I join the fan group?"

His Weibo account was newly registered, and he had only reposted one of An Wen's posts: "Our Wenwen is the most beautiful."

The person checked Grandfather Chu's Weibo and replied, "You can't join the group. You don't meet the requirements."

"What are the requirements?" Grandfather Chu asked.

"You need 1,000 An Wen-related posts."
