What's Up With This New Account?

"Oh, okay. So who is my sister-in-law? Is she a college classmate of yours? Do I know her? Is she a good person? Is she pretty? Does she treat you well?" Ye Yao couldn't help but ask a rapid-fire series of concerned questions.

Ye Chen thought of the several Su Ningwei posters and merchandise items in Ye Yao's bedroom and said, "Well, you could say you know her."

"Who is it?"

"Su Ningwei."

"Who did you say?"

Ye Yao raised her voice on the other end of the line, completely unable to believe it.

"Su Ningwei, the lead singer of the Rose Girl Group. You could say you know her."

"Ah!! Brother, you are too amazing! You actually had a baby with my idol? Oh my god! I'm going crazy! Did I hear that right? Is Su Ningwei going to be my sister-in-law?"

Ye Yao excitedly pinched her thigh hard, the pain filling her beautiful eyes with tears.

It wasn't a dream!

This was actually real!

Ye Chen said, "You heard right. Don't get too excited yet, keep your voice down. We need to keep it a secret for now."

Ye Yao suppressed her racing heart and took a few deep breaths before saying, "Okay, there's no one around me. I understand; sister-in-law is a public figure. Don't worry, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut. Brother, I've taken on quite a few illustration commissions lately and made a lot of money. Let me transfer it to you first. You're a father now, so there must be a lot of places where you need to spend money."

"No need, keep your money for yourself. I'm not short on cash right now. I was actually planning to transfer your living expenses for the month to you this afternoon."

Ye Yao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Brother... you aren't living off my sister-in-law's success, are you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Am I the kind of person who would live off a woman? I earned this through stock trading and investments," Ye Chen replied.

At most, he was living off the system's success; how could that be called living off his wife?

"Oh, I see. Then can I come visit you guys this weekend? It only takes two or three hours to get from Jiang City to Magic City by bullet train."

"You can come if you want, but you can't let it affect your studies."

"Don't worry, I'll take the bullet train this Friday night."

Ye Yao said with an excited look on her face, already impatient to see her idol and her three little niece and nephews.

"Alright, call me when you're almost here, and I'll pick you up at the station."

"Okay, Brother, I'm hanging up now. I have to go to class."

"Mm, study hard."

After Ye Chen hung up, he received calls from Zhu Peng, Zhou Tao, and others.

Those who could call him were all his close friends.

They were mostly congratulating Ye Chen on his sudden explosion in popularity, offering him plenty of blessings and admiration.

Fearing that Ye Yao wouldn't have enough money to spend, Ye Chen transferred ten thousand to her for pocket money.

A girl should be raised with abundance, and he hadn't had the means before.

Now that he had the means, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't be stingy with his family.

His phone kept ringing non-stop.

Ye Chen took out his phone and glanced at it.

Good heavens!

In just a short time, the view count for those two videos had already exceeded one hundred thousand.

Likes and shares had broken thirty thousand.

His follower count had also surpassed ten thousand.

In the comment section, besides the praise and cheers, there were naturally voices of doubt.

"Is this lip-syncing? Maybe they used a sound card or auto-tuned it. If you've got the guts, do a live stream."

"They only posted such a short clip, it's definitely not original."

"I checked, and you can't find any information about this person online at all. Logically, with this look, voice, and talent, he should have been famous long ago. How is he still a nobody?"

"I also think these two songs definitely weren't written by him. The styles of these two songs are completely different. It's one thing to sing them well, but I don't believe anyone can write both of these songs at the same time."

"..."

Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry. He set all the platform notifications to "Do Not Disturb" mode.

He planned to let the bullets fly for a while.

Ye Chen restarted the recording mode.

He thought of Cheng Tong and his other close friends.

Holding his guitar, he played and sang a segment of the song Friends with all his heart.

After finishing the recording, Ye Chen wasn't in a rush to post it; he just saved it for now.

[Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden task of reaching ten thousand followers.]

[Congratulations on unlocking the Dance Expert skill.]

Is this aiming for me to become an all-around singer who can both sing and dance?

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; he had been completely hopeless at dancing before.

His brain understood, but his body simply wouldn't obey.

Suddenly, a massive amount of dance techniques flooded into Ye Chen's mind.

The joints throughout his body crackled and popped for five minutes.

Once the strange sensations in his body subsided, Ye Chen immediately performed a full split, dropping into it with ease.

The quality of his pajama pants was decent; they didn't rip at all.

He followed up with a backbend, which was incredibly effortless and didn't hurt in the slightest.

A backflip landed him firmly on his feet.

He could spin in place a hundred times without feeling the least bit dizzy.

Beautiful!

This posture.

This technique.

This flexibility.

The fundamental skills were remarkably solid.

Ye Chen was very satisfied.

Moonwalks, popping and locking...

He could handle them with ease.

Please provide the Chinese text you would like me to translate. Once you provide the source text, I will ensure it is converted into natural, punchy English while adhering to all your formatting and stylistic requirements.

Ye Chen was in a very pleasant mood; he would save his dance skills to show off later.

For now, relying on the three songs "Baby," "Friend," and "Lonely Warrior," there should be no problem going viral in a short period.

Let's see who dares to say he isn't good enough for Su Ningwei.

Ye Chen checked the time.

The three kids would be waking up soon.

Ye Chen put away his phone and went to take care of the kids in high spirits.

As the view count on Ye Chen's video surpassed one million, the backend staff at various major platforms also noticed the anomaly with his account.

Cai Jing, a supervisor at Dou-Shark, frowned as she looked at the data on her screen.

With a displeased expression, Cai Jing dialed the internal line and called her subordinate into the office.

"What's going on with this new account? It's only posted two videos, so why is the traffic so high? Did they post something they shouldn't have? Does Xiao Wang from the pornography screening department not want his job anymore?" Cai Jing asked, frowning.

"Director Cai, I've noticed this account too. His videos are fine; he just posted a legitimate original video of himself singing and playing, and there's no sign of view-botting."

"Oh? Just a singing video? Check if he's botting; if he is, ban him immediately," Cai Jing said dismissively.

These days, the probability of suddenly going viral from a single video was extremely low.

Nine times out of ten, it was fake traffic.

"I've checked, it's not botted. I didn't find any zombie accounts inflating the numbers; they are all active Dou-Shark users. There isn't a drop of water in these stats."

"What?! All active Dou-Shark users! That's impossible, isn't it? What kind of video did he post? Could it be that the King of Songs, Fu Yi, opened a burner account and released a new song? I heard that ever since Su Ningwei retired from the music scene, Fu Yi hasn't released a new song in a long time."

Cai Jing stood up from her chair in shock.

Terrifying!

Aside from the young, handsome, and talented King of Songs, Fu Yi, Cai Jing couldn't think of anyone else who could get such good stats just from a new song.

"It's not him. He showed his face; he's a new face, isn't signed to any agency, and his real-name verification says Ye Chen. This Ye Chen is genuinely handsome, and the song is truly good. I even followed and liked it myself, looking forward to his new work or a full version."
