Seeing the glaring 100,000 yuan withdrawal limit, Tang Song clenched his fist and hit withdraw!

“Ding—” The SMS notification sounded.

【China Merchants Bank: Your account ending in 6800 received a deposit of 102,000.00 yuan on April 20th at 18:39.】

"Awesome!" Tang Song blurted out, his eyes burning with excitement.

He opened his personal information interface.

[Asset Status:]

Tang Song’s bank balance exceeded 100,000 yuan for the first time in his life.

Looking at the red debt information, Tang Song didn't hesitate. He first repaid the 40,000 yuan on his Ant Loan and WeBank loans, with a total interest of just 100 yuan.

Although his balance shrank to 63,000 yuan, being debt-free felt amazing!

With the [Popular Me] title, as long as he managed his accounts on the two platforms well, making money wouldn't be difficult.

Thinking about this, Tang Song felt restless. He opened his album and reviewed the [Transformation Advice Vlog Episode One Summary] video he had made earlier.

Although it was called a video, it was essentially a series of images stitched together. Plus, he hadn’t put much effort into it, so its appeal was mediocre. That’s why, despite his transformation showing great results, the summary video hadn't gained much traction.

After some thought, Tang Song walked briskly to his computer and opened his editing software. He imported all the materials from his phone and carefully reorganized them in sequence. He selected the best photos and created a few progressive comparison charts of his transformation. Using each day as a node, he combined the daily weight, fat-loss meals, and exercise routines to make his transformation process smoother.

Next, he referenced several popular videos for transition effects, text, and background music, incorporating everything suitable for his video. By 9 PM, a meticulously crafted vlog documenting his transformation was ready.

Tang Song watched the video repeatedly, unable to help but like it himself. The transitions, effects, and BGM were truly inspiring! In contrast, his previous work seemed half-hearted. Clearly, incentives drive effort.

He opened the Douyin app, imported the video, and clicked next.

After multiple checks to ensure everything was fine, he clicked publish.

Tang Song let out a long breath, thinking about how to improve his videos further. He considered taking time to study video editing and production in depth.

Due to system limitations, he couldn’t use any marketing or promotional methods, relying solely on the quality of his videos to succeed. If he could produce another viral hit like the disastrous haircut video, the increase in followers would be significant.

He daydreamed for a while.

By the time he snapped back to reality, it was nearly 10 PM. He patted his flushed face, washed up in the bathroom, and gradually calmed down.

It was clear that he still lacked composure, getting too excited over a minor title reward. On reflection, the reward wasn’t too exaggerated. Relying purely on natural traffic, it was challenging for an ordinary blogger with no special talents to gain followers on any platform.

Thanks to his good niche and the viral bowl-cut note, it took him 20 days to gain 1,000 followers on Little Red Book.

Once he fully suppressed his excitement, Tang Song changed into comfortable pajamas, leaned against his bed, and read "Cognitive Awakening" for a while. He fell asleep pondering the book’s content.

...

April 21, 2023, Friday, rainy, 6~11°C.

Today, Yan City's temperature plummeted, with dark clouds and continuous rain.

After waking up, Tang Song spent 40 minutes climbing stairs in the hallway, completing his morning fasted cardio. Standing in front of the mirror in his fitted workout clothes, he adjusted the angle, lighting, and position multiple times to record a satisfactory video clip.

After showering, he changed into dry, warm clothes and prepared breakfast: boiled eggs, low-fat milk, boiled corn, and a cucumber.

Now, he had integrated discipline into his life, starting to enjoy this healthy lifestyle. His weight had reached a normal level, and his usual attire made him look like a fit and energetic young man. However, his muscles weren’t well-defined, lacking noticeable lines, with a body fat percentage around 20%. There was still room to improve his physique's attractiveness.

Following online advice, his next goal was to reduce his body fat percentage to 15%, revealing slight abs and creating a more balanced and coordinated appearance.

After breakfast, Tang Song opened the system interface to check the [Popular Me] title details.

[Current Cash Reward: 4,100 yuan (Total 106,100 yuan)]

Overnight, his followers only increased by 41.

Checking his phone, Douyin's followers increased by 27, and Little Red Book's followers by 14.

This was within his expected range.

Sitting at his computer, he organized the day's transformation materials into a video and uploaded them to both platforms.

Tang Song gathered his things, grabbed his car keys and umbrella, and headed downstairs.

“Vroom vroom vroom—” The Wuling Hongguang started slowly, gradually disappearing into the misty rain.

Due to the rain, the traffic was particularly slow. Sitting in the car, Tang Song once again appreciated the benefits of owning a vehicle. Looking out at people with umbrellas navigating the rain, his thoughts drifted to Zhao Yaqian.

His beautician friend wasn't well-off financially, usually taking bus route 26 to work. In weather like this, commuting was a hassle.

At the office, watching the increasingly heavy rain outside, Tang Song opened Zhao Yaqian’s chat window again.

His message remained the same yesterday afternoon: “Want to go shopping this weekend? It won’t take much of your time, just at Yunsheng Plaza. I’d like your outfit advice to help me pick some clothes.”

This simple invitation had gone unanswered by Zhao Yaqian.

After some thought, Tang Song sent another message: “The wind and rain are strong today, be careful on your way.”

Not long after sending the message, his phone buzzed.

[Zhao Yaqian: Rainbow Umbrella.jpg]

[Zhao Yaqian: "Don’t worry, I have a big umbrella to protect me from the rain."]

Seeing the beautician's reply and the familiar umbrella, Tang Song couldn’t help but smile.

After a moment's hesitation, he sent her a 20 yuan red envelope.

He added, "Last time, Ms. Zhao’s umbrella protected me from the wind and rain, escorting me home. This time, I’d like to treat it to a cab ride!"

[Zhao Yaqian: "No, I can’t accept this."]

Tang Song: “It’s for the rainbow umbrella. The wind is too strong today, I can’t bear to see it suffer.”

After a long pause, Zhao Yaqian accepted the red envelope.

A while later, she shared a Didi trip summary from Tiankuo Garden to the pedestrian street entrance.

[Zhao Yaqian: "I’ve escorted it into the car. Thanks, when I get paid, I’ll fill up your Wuling with gas."]

Seeing this message, Tang Song burst into laughter. This phrase had become her catchphrase. Since they met, he had heard her say, “When I get paid…” at least seven or eight times.
