140. First follower

There were tens of thousand of people who had followed her within that few minutes and that wasn't the most surprising. What was the most surprising was the first person who followed her. It wasn't Director Tang nor was it any of those who were present at the moment when she had created her account and had shared her post. The first one to follow her was a very simple account with little to no description. But that particular account had millions of followers with only one following. No, there wasn't a single following yesterday nor a few minutes back. Only after Li Zhilan had registered an account did a following appear on that particular account.

That account may look simple but with those millions of followers, it might just be confused as that of a celebrity, as in a celebrity who is involved in films and shows. A veteran of the entertainment industry when he clearly is a businessman with no relation with any entertainment industry.

That was the official account of the business magnate, Qi Longwei.

Everyone stared at Li Zhilan, eyes wide like saucer pans while jaws dropped to the ground. Shock, should be an understatement. There is literally no word or words that can describe their feelings at the moment. That isn't just any Tom, Dick or Harry. That's Qi Longwei, the all-rounder. That's the boy who was excellent, both in academics as well as co-curricular activities. The male God in the hearts of countless girls. The person who completed his education by the time he reached 18 years old and within half a year, made every executives in the Qi Conglomerate submit to him willing. That wasn't just a small feat.

Qi Conglomerate is the leading group not only in the country but also world wide. With such extensive power, one could only imagine how hard it would be to impress those working there much less those old executives who had tasted every flavor of life.

But Qi Longwei only took six freaking months to get them all under control. At that time, he should have only entered adulthood, but he was able to take care of such a phenomenal feat.

Since young, he was named the most outstanding younger generation but as soon as he entered adulthood, he was named as the most eligible bachelor. There were hearts, of young and old, fallng for him. He had varieties of choices, thin or fat, tall or short, black or brown or fair, Asian or from another place, rich or poor, boy or girl or Trans. He had all the options in the world only for him to reject. There wasn't much about him before he stepped up to join the company and after he joined, there weren't any scandals that could manage to rein him in.

Now that such a person had followed someone was already such a huge issue much less that he was the first one to follow the other account. To top it off, the account he followed belongs to a girl. Can it get any crazier?

While everyone was staring at her in that weird expression, Li Zhilan who still didn't know what was happening, took back her phone and checked it to see what it was that could leave these people behave like this, as if they had seen a ghost.

Little did she know that even they had seen a ghost, their expressions wouldn't be this off.

''Ahh...? How did they get the information so fast?''

Li Zhilan's expression was completely out of their imagination. But though they were shell shocked earlier and had been observing Li Zhilan's face very carefully, they didn't notice that slight tightening of her grip on the phone.

It wasn't that she didn't feel anything. It's just that she didn't know what she should be feeling at this moment.

To her, Qi Longwei is a man who already has his other half so her intervening inbetween them is wrong, extremely wrong. But the fact that she still likes him, if she was to put it in a milder form, is also what's keeping her away. She knows she can't just be 'friends' with him. She can't be just friends with the boy she lived her entire life. If she could have moved on these few years, being friends wouldn't be a problem, but she didn't. She is still there, right where he left her. Her heart refused to move on even after she avoided anything and everything related to him. She knows that loving someone who already has his other half is wrong but who can make her heart understand what her brain does?

She can't, so she'd just stay as far away as possible so that she wouldn't come between his love and happiness.

''Ahh? What do you mean by Ahh? That's Qi Longwei that followed you. Can you say something more, something thats natural in a case like this?'' Ju Fen, a girl in early twenties with brown eyes and thick long black hair said or more like shouted at the reaction Li Zhilan had towards the thing that had everyone looking on like their soul left ther bodies. She was the one who played the role of a minor character in the movie and during this time that they had spent together shooting, she had grown quite close to Li Zhilan.

''Isnt that supposed to be normal or do you think that appearing like a ghost is normal? Girl, your normal is definitely not normal. Atleast not when compared to the defination of normal I learned in school.'' Li Zhilan said as a matter of fact which made everyone feel a little embarrassed and that was clearly shown by the slight blush which crept up on almost everyone's face.

''Forget about us. Why are you so... so... so unfazed? That's Qi Longwei who followed you. Qi Longwei is your very first follower. How can you accept it so calmly. Tell me honestly, did you two know eachother from before? What's your relationship? Is there something going on? You better come clear.''
