Chapter 113 – Elder Brother… (42.1)
[T/N: In Chinese, the title is simply one word “哥” which means “elder brother.” It can refer to a blood relative or any non-biological guy that is older than you. It can also have an implication of “boyfriend.”]
The Outstanding Entrepreneur Award Presentation in Lin Nan Province was originally just a trivial matter, and even if it were broadcasted on the provincial TV news, it wouldn’t stir up a splash.
Unexpectedly, not long after the news was broadcast, a short video began to go viral on the Internet.
The cause of the incident was Feng Ran.
As a senior fan of the Spring and Autumn Hall, Feng Ran paid close attention to any news of the Spring and Autumn Hall and Duan Shu Tong. In addition, her hometown happened to be in Lin Nan Province, and her parents paid attention to the news of Lin Nan Province every day. She had casually glanced over at the TV and saw Big Shot Duan in a crowd of middle-aged men.
Even her mother couldn’t help saying, “This young man is so handsome.”
He was already handsome enough, but standing among a group of middle-aged men, his beauty flourished even more.
The news media did not bother with things like filters or beauty shots. If Duan Shu Tong looked so good on regular TV news, then he must be very good-looking in person!
Feng Ran was moved. She felt that such handsomeness must be shared, so she clipped a short video of the news and posted it on Weibo.

On the contrary, the caption that she included sounded very proper: Congratulations to the Spring and Autumn Hall for winning the title of Excellent Enterprise in Lin Nan Province!
Her fans all knew that she was a fan of the Spring and Autumn Hall. They clicked into her Weibo with a smile, but came out shocked.
“Who is that handsome guy! O. M. G. He looks so good!”
“I thought I would see a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people when I clicked in, but the handsome guy shocked me so much that I got a nosebleed…”
“I think this media outlet has a preference for handsome guys. Although there are only two shots of him, he is in the center position both times!”
“Do you not recognize him? He is the developer of the Spring Flower series. He must be there to accept the award on behalf of the Spring and Autumn Hall.”
“Oh my god, I’m dead! The developer of Spring Flower is actually! So! Freaking! Good! Looking! I’m crying from happiness.”
“He is involved in research and development, so why is he participating in this kind of activity?”
“Because his surname is Duan. The Spring and Autumn Hall belongs to the Duan family.”
Feng Ran was truly a big name in the beauty blogging sphere. The traffic she brought could not be underestimated. In a short period of time, “Most Handsome Entrepreneur” topped the Weibo hot search list.
Duan Shu Tong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the news. He received congratulations from friends all over WeChat.

Ah, whatever. If they dealt with it calmly then the hot search would go down soon. However, things backfired. The official blogs of the Duan Group and the Xi Group unanimously liked and reposted Feng Ran’s Weibo post. Even the film emperor Lu Shi did the same.
The hot search ranking rose again.
Feng Ran clutched her chest. What kind of big shot did she become a fan of? What was a group pet*? This was it!
[*T/N: group pet – the term refers to a person that is liked by a group of people]
However, something didn’t seem right.
Before she could figure it out, a netizen was the first to point it out in a comment: “Why is the person in question not doing anything at all? There are only other big shots scattering flowers*.”
[*T/N: scattering flowers – imagine a scene where someone is throwing flower petals in the air to celebrate a joyous event]
Everyone was taken aback, and quickly rushed into the Spring and Autumn Hall’s official blog, but the official blog was quiet and non-responsive.
Netizens left messages one after another, with the sentiment amounting to: It was such a big deal, yet the Spring and Autumn Hall wasn’t doing anything about it?
Just when everyone was clamoring for some reaction, the Spring and Autumn Hall’s official blog finally posted on Weibo: Spring Flower No. 4 will be launched soon. Good news for people with hair loss. So stayed tuned.
Netizens: …
Was this honorable title not worth a comment?! And what did good news for people with hair loss mean? Was it a new product to save people from baldness? Can you please be clearer?!

In view of the good reputation of the Spring Flower series, netizens did not express doubts, but many netizens wailed in the comment area.
“Finally a product to save hair loss! I hope the Spring and Autumn Hall will not let me down this time!”
“Ahhhhhh, is there a pre-sale? I want to buy, buy, buy!”
“If it can save my hairline and thinning crown, I will buy it no matter how expensive it is!”
“Master Duan, please accept my worship!”
Riding on this wave of popularity, Spring Flower No. 4 launched and was immediately sold out thanks to the patronage of the many people who were prone to hair loss.
Fortunately, before that, Duan Shu Tong had asked the manufacturer to set aside some products for him; otherwise he would not be able to face his father’s disappointment.
Thank you for updating!!!!
