On the evening of August 4th, “Vet’s Cuties” had already reached 400k views on the video websites. Some audience even when to its original link — The national TV department website and crazily commented and liked the documentary.

It looked like it was going to go viral in a matter of seconds.

Liu Man was fatigued from working in the factory the entire day. The first thing she did when she returned home was turning on her phone to watch “Vet’s Cuties”.

She also felt it was super good! Daylight and Moonlight’s actions in the video were naive but cute. She resolutely gave the documentary a five-star and even forwarded the video’s link onto her Wei Bo as long as pinging “Leafy Breeze”, “I’m a vet”, “Hehehaha”, “Like a Towering Mountain”, “Peach is a fairy”, “Otaku Boy”, and “Xiaomei12345”.

“Leafy Breeze” was Ye Ziliang’s Wei Bo ID, and “Like a Towering Mountain” was Sun Weiwei’s.

Liu Man’s forwarding made it even more popular. She had more than 3 million fans herself, and it could be imagined how much more audience she brought to “Vet’s Cuties”.

At that time, the National TV site’s comment section for “Vet’s Cuties” had already reached thousands of comments. “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City”, which only had nine comments, could not compete with it at all.

In the group chat, everyone was also having an enthusiastic conversation. Everyone was excited and each pinged Ye Ziliang.

“Ziliang bro, you’ve gone viral!”

“Ziliang bro, you can keep your job now!”

“Ziliang bro, why aren’t you replying? Have you gone dumb from all the happiness?”

…

Ye Ziliang was actually stupefied. He sat in front of his computer, watching the views incessantly increase. He fell into a trance as if he was daydreaming.

He had been in an anxious mood the entire time since he decided to film “Vet’s Cuties”. While none of the others approved of his topic, only Yu Zhan, the nurse, and “The Sisters” supported him.

It was as if he could still see the leaders’ perfunctory attitude and Guo Nan and the other competitors’ sarcasm just one week ago; however, at this moment, he proved his ability with the popularity of his documentary among the audience!

Neither had the national TV documentary division thought the documentary they thought of as the leftover bit would show up as the most prominent one. It instantly brought much more attention to their initially unpopular site, not to mention it received lots of good feedback from the audience.

The documentary division head didn’t care that it was break time and immediately called Ye Ziliang’s boss, asking about Ye Ziliang’s situation. The boss replied, “He’s Ye Zian’s younger brother.”

Ye Zian only learned that his brother’s documentary went viral on the internet on the second day. After “Sound of the Wind” had entered its postproduction stage, Ye Zian basically stayed in a half-secluded status. He didn’t surf the internet and stopped contacting anyone else to put his whole mind into his film.

His assistant was the one who ran to him excitedly and told him to watch “Vet’s Cuties” online!

Ye Zian watched it attentively and even wanted to pause the video frame by frame to look at the details. After he watched it, he had to exclaim that the little boy who had always been following him in the past finally grew up. Without Ye Zian knowing, he had already started filming a documentary silently and succeeded soundlessly. Ye Zian felt proud, but he also felt a bit sad. They were the mixed and complex emotions parents had when they see how their adored children grew up and no longer needed to depend on them.

However, the perfectionist Ye Zian still felt Ye Ziliang’s product had lots of flaws. However, he was satisfied with the basic production. Ye Zian loved his brother, so to support his brother’s hard work, he was planning on forwarding the documentary on his Wei Bo to advertise it.

The thought had just popped up a bit when Ye Ziliang, who had “telepathic” powers due to them being brothers, called Ye Zian, “Brother, whatever you do, don’t comment on my documentary on the internet. I don’t want everyone to think of, ‘oh, hey, this person’s the famous director Ye Zian’s little brother’ whenever my name gets mentioned.”

“You have helped me way too much, and you even got me this job. I have to learn to become independent,” Ye Ziliang said.

Ye Ziliang went to the TV department this morning, and everyone now looked at him with a completely different expression. The leader of the documentary division met him in person, but the first sentence that came out from his mouth was, “No wonder you are Ye Zian’s little brother. Your talents and your ability are both very outstanding.”

Ye Ziliang’s heart cooled down halfway. He only wanted to film a meeting-expectations documentary by himself, which was why he was reluctant to find his brother at the start. As a result, when he walked into the TV department, all the discussions he heard on the way were not referring to him by using his name; they were calling him “Ye Zian’s little brother”.

How could Ye Zian not know his little brother’s thoughts? They were biological brothers! The aloofness and dignity in their bones were similar.

“Okay. Walk your own path, and I will not interfere with your business.”

Ye Zilinag, who was having a very good day, emptied his wallet and treated everyone to dinner at a high-tiered restaurant. Yu Zhan and the nurse came, too. “Vet’s Cuties” going viral meant nobody’s hard work and efforts were wasted. Everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere, as they ate their meal, was very lively.

Sun Weiwei asked Ye Ziliang, “Now, are you able to finally become an official employee?”

Ye Ziliang said, “I should be promoted from an intern now.”

This morning, the documentary division leader spoke with him for a long time. He was saying and implying that they wanted to let him stay in the documentary division.

“Congratulations for acquiring your desired spot,” Tao Zhiyao said, smiling.

Everyone else also congratulated Ye Ziliang.

After all, the reason why he wanted to film “Vet’s Cuties” was an assignment given to him by his leader. It was an assignment related to Ye Ziliang’s entire career’s future.

“I am going to calculate and distribute everyone’s salary right now,” Ye Ziliang said, “Each person may be receiving a different amount of payment based on how much work they were responsible for.”

“It’s fine. We all believe you,” Jiang Chengfeng said, “Everyone understands that more work equals more rewards.”

Ye Ziliang transferred money to them through Paypal live.

In the end, Liu Man got 3,000 RMB. Tao Zhiyao received the most money, which was 10,000 RMB. Sun Weiwei had the second highest payment: 8,000 RMB. Jiang Chengfeng got 7,000 RMB, and Li Xiaoru had 6,000 RMB. Miao Xiaomei did not ask for a payment. She only said that if there were any other activities like this the next time, just remember to call her.

Liu Man was unaware that the reason why her friends were able to get such high payments was that Yu Zhan did not take the 20,000 RMB that belonged to him. Not only that, but Yu Zhan also gave the nurse 5,000 more RMB this month for working overtime.

Everyone’s wallet received some money, and they were even happier. Li Xiaoru took out her phone, “Let’s read the good comments the audiences have written for ‘Vet’s Cuties’.”

Sun Weiwei teased, “I’m guessing Ziliang bro did not reply to our messages last night because he was definitely sneakily reading the comments by himself.”

Ye Ziliang felt slightly awkward, and on the inside, he blamed Sun Weiwei for being too smart. He really spent his night reading the tens of thousands of comments. He read them all… No matter if they were good comments or bad reviews, he felt more excited as he went through them. He pulled an all-nighter and basically did not sleep at all.

The perfectionist, Ye Zian. The Ye Ziliang with OCD.
