Chu Ye was a little bewildered.
It was the first time he'd ever forgotten the time and everything else while white-water rafting.
The sheer, immersive joy was impossible to describe. As he splashed around, it felt as though he'd returned to childhood, playing in the family pool all afternoon, completely forgetting about his homework.
He couldn't help taking out his phone and snapping a selfie with his friends.
Once his friends got out of the water, they, too, seemed to feel as though they'd lost something. They all looked a little dejected.
He recorded a video selfie and posted it on the Extreme Rafting Forum with the title: <Just finished Qinglin Rafting. Feeling complicated. I'll talk about it when I get back!>
The Extreme Rafting Forum gathered more rafting enthusiasts than any other forum in the country. Chu Ye was famous, too, so his post immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Manager Zhao had asked his assistant to keep an eye on the matter. As soon as the assistant saw Chu Ye's post, he notified Manager Zhao: "Manager Zhao, Chu Ye posted on the Extreme Rafting Forum. They've finished rafting at Qinglin, and from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Manager Zhao checked Chu Ye's post right away and couldn't help laughing. "He really does look dejected. No need to guess why—Qinglin Rafting must have fallen short of his expectations. We've already done all we can online to hype it up. Now we just have to wait for Chu Ye to post his video and watch Qinglin Rafting come crashing down."
The assistant nodded at once, completely convinced by Manager Zhao's words. He even felt that this was what it meant to plan everything in advance.
And it didn't take long. Chu Ye
