When the ZZ software was successfully downloaded, an adorable white hamster wearing a red vest appeared on the computer.
This cute little icon instantly melted the hearts of countless girls. It’s Five Treasure! This is His Majesty’s little friend, Five Treasure! In the game “Infinite Collapse,” Five Treasure dances, acts cute, and even hugs His Majesty’s hand for a kiss!
After downloading the software, the next step was to register a membership number. The first pop-up window after obtaining the membership number introduced how to use the ZZ software and the official channel number of Fenghuang Entertainment: 5566.
“5566? 55 refers to Five Treasure, right? What’s 66? 66 is auspicious? Ah! I remember now, isn’t there a cat named Liu Shun in ‘Red Moon’? I always saw it on Five Treasure’s Weibo!”
Fans who registered for ZZ memberships were very interested in Si Huang’s affairs and quickly guessed the origin of the number. The thought that a software and its number related to His Majesty’s adorable pets was particularly cute.
Then, someone quickly discovered that the earlier someone registered, the fewer digits their membership number had, and they could also enter a lottery for unexpected small benefits.
“Oh my god! ZZ’s press conference was only broadcast a few minutes ago, right? Why is my ID number already numbered 86521?! Are you kidding me?!”
On ZZ’s official forum, everyone came out to show off their cuteness after registering their ID numbers.
“OP, that’s enough! I’m already over 100,000th in the queue. I wonder if my ID number affects tomorrow’s lottery. If getting closer to the front of the queue increases your chances of winning, waaaaah! I’ll cry myself to sleep in the bathroom!”
“Hahaha! This Imperial Guard is mighty and awesome! I snagged one in the top 1,000! I cleverly registered an account as soon as ZZ was released!”
“So clever!”
“Clever +1.”
“Clever +2.”
A large group of new ZZ members were filled with curiosity about this new software. It wasn’t just a chat and social networking app; there was much more for them to explore. They quickly discovered that although ZZ was a new app, its internal structure and system were very well-designed. It linked to the latest news and videos from Fenghuang Entertainment. Members could add friends, chat and create groups like on QQ, or even create their own channels/families.
ZZ had already signed agreements with several well-known entertainment newspapers and music companies, supporting talented individuals to create and perform original songs or skits on ZZ. You could do anything you could imagine; ZZ would protect your copyright and even select promising works for promotion.
This news, seen by newly registered ZZ members, ignited the creative spirit of countless individuals.
After all, didn’t ZZ’s launch event say that you can create anonymously on ZZ? Even if it’s not perfect, so what? Nobody knows who you are in real life; you can try endlessly!
This was much simpler than navigating the real entertainment industry. You don’t need connections, relationships, or finding reliable, up-to-date information; a wide road lies before you!
Some astute individuals had already recognized ZZ’s advantages. The best time to rise to prominence was when not many people had yet discovered this.
Some registered simply for Si Huang, some were driven by curiosity, some saw a business opportunity, and some genuinely wanted to showcase themselves on this platform.
Regardless of their motives, membership registrations skyrocketed after the ZZ launch event.
Fortunately, Fenghuang Entertainment’s technical department had been warned and prepared, preventing the newly launched system server from crashing.
“We’ve broken one million!” an IT technician shouted excitedly.
His colleague next to him said, “What’s with the excitement? Didn’t you see the growth rate is increasing instead of decreasing? One million is nothing, breaking five million today might be no problem!”
“Five million? Tsk tsk! You two are too narrow-minded. Don’t you know how many fans President Si has? President Si alone has enough fans to easily break ten million!” another person chimed in.
Although they said this, everyone’s expressions couldn’t hide their excitement and joy. One of the most exhilarating things in the world was seeing your efforts succeed.
The department manager strode in and shouted to the group, “The boss has spoken! Everyone gets a month’s salary bonus for their hard work today!”
“Yay!” everyone cheered.
The department manager continued, “And after the boss’s fan interaction tomorrow, all employees will have half a day off for a celebratory banquet at the Tengyue Hotel, paid for by the boss!”
“Yay! Hooray!” The cheers grew even louder, and everyone’s enthusiasm was even higher.
Since it was a celebration banquet tomorrow, it meant the boss had a lot of confidence in ZZ and in them, believing ZZ would be very successful.
Besides a small portion of those who remained from Fenghua Entertainment, the rest of Fenghuang Entertainment were talents who had gradually joined later. Many of these people were young, drawn by Si Huang.
Firstly, by Si Huang’s personal charisma; secondly, by his legendary status; and thirdly, because Si Huang, being young himself, led a company atmosphere that was different from other companies— more vibrant and cheerful.
At this time, Si Huang, having just finished the press conference, didn’t even have time to rest before attending the next gathering, hosting a banquet for the guests who had attended the press conference.
While socializing with some people at the banquet, she was called aside by Grandma Yu.
In this circle, everyone gabe face to Grandma Yu and Old Tie. Seeing Grandma Yu personally come to ask for the person, those CEOs who, under the guise of discussing cooperation, were subtly mentioning their daughters readily released her.
In a relatively quiet sofa seat at the banquet, Si Huang was led there by Grandma Yu.
“It was just a regular press conference, why did Grandma need to come personally?” Si Huang sat beside Grandma Yu, looking at the elderly woman who treated her like her own granddaughter.
She knew how much Grandma Yu disliked long car rides; her health wasn’t good, and she was always on rest, so long car rides easily made her nauseous and uncomfortable.
Grandma Yu said unhappily, “If I hadn’t come, how would I know how much you neglect yourself?”
“What are you talking about?” Si Huang asked, puzzled.
Grandma Yu tapped her forehead with her finger. “Xiao Huang is getting more and more disobedient. Trying to fool Grandma? Don’t you realize how long Grandma’s been in this industry? Do you think you can fool Grandma with a little foundation? Haven’t you not slept in days?”
Si Huang exclaimed in surprise, “So obvious? Looks like Ling Ling’s skills need improvement.”
Grandma Yu was amused by her deliberately exaggerated expression. “Fine, Grandma knows Xiao Huang’s grown up. She’s almost an adult, and she won’t listen to Grandma anymore.”
Si Huang was both amused and exasperated. “Okay, whatever you say, I’ll listen to everything.”
Grandma Yu’s eyes lit up, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. She then patted her leg. “Come on, lean against Grandma’s leg and sleep for a while.”
Si Huang had just shown a troubled expression, about to say something, when Grandma Yu immediately pouted. “You just said you’d listen to everything Grandma says, and now you not only don’t listen to Grandma, you’ve also learned to lie to her.”
“…” Si Huang sighed helplessly, then leaned towards Grandma Yu in a seemingly reckless manner, but without actually pressing down on her. Her eyes looked up at Grandma Yu’s happy smiling face, and she couldn’t help but smile too. “Is this alright?”
Grandma Yu happily reached out and patted her head. “Xiao Huang, be good! Close your eyes and rest well. Don’t worry, with Grandma here, no one will dare laugh at Xiao Huang!”
Si Huang was both amused and touched. She could smell the medicinal scent emanating from Grandma Yu with her eyes slightly closed. The scent wasn’t exactly pleasant, nor was it unpleasant, but it evoked a rare feeling of warmth.
Come to think of it, whether in her past life or this one, Si Huang had never been so intimate with an elder, let alone acted like a child.
She couldn’t recall ever being close to Li Lisi as a child; she was too young, and even if she had, she had no memory of it.
Surrounded by Grandma Yu’s scent, Si Huang actually felt a little sleepy.
Grandma Yu gently stroked her hair, her voice soft as she naggingly said, “How many times do I have to tell you? You’re still so young, why do you always make yourself so tired? Youth is your advantage, you know? Even if you’re a little willful, no one can blame you. Spreading a day’s work into two days isn’t a problem; you’re already much faster than others.”
“Mm,” Si Huang replied with a smile, but she couldn’t tell Grandma Yu the real reason.
She was indeed younger than others, with more time to spare. However, precisely because she was young, the extra years others had lived had accumulated strength she lacked, so she had to seize the moment.
Grandma Yu probably knew she couldn’t dissuade her, so she softly said, “I watched Xiao Huang’s show, and I learned what kind of girl he likes. When are you going to bring a girlfriend home to meet Grandma? Grandma’s still thinking about holding her great-grandchild!”
Si Huang opened her eyes, gazing into Grandma Yu’s concerned eyes. She remained silent for a while, noticing Grandma Yu’s slightly tense expression, and smiled, “Okay.”
“Xiao Huang agreed? To show Grandma his girlfriend, to give her a great-grandchild?” Grandma Yu seemed very expectant.
“Yes.” Si Huang nodded.
Grandma Yu breathed a sigh of relief, truly happy. “You must find a beautiful girlfriend, so that the great-grandchild will be beautiful, preferably looking like Xiao Huang!”
Si Huang still smiled and agreed, “Okay.”
She thought that perhaps it was her phone nickname in Infinite Collapse and her words that made Grandma Yu realize something, leading to this test.
Although it’s impossible to bring a girlfriend back to meet Grandma Yu in the future, a great-grandson is still possible, so it’s not exactly deception, right?
[Your Majesty…] Five Treasure’s hesitant voice echoed in her mind.
“Hmm?” Si Huang responded with her consciousness.
Five Treasure seemed conflicted about something, stammering, [That great-grandson thing… um, it’s just that Your Majesty wants to have a child…]
“Just say what you want to say,” Si Huang said.
Five Treasure immediately buried his head back in her pocket, [Nothing!]
