Chapter 581: Chapter 402

(Don’t look yet, only add a title when it’s fixed)

Weibo’s Chief Operating Officer, Chen Yong, arrived quickly.

When he received the news that their server had crashed, he was also shocked, "How could it be so fast? Didn’t it just hit the trending searches shortly after being reported?"

The speed was indeed too fast. He had just received the report and was planning to add more server groups, but before he could notify anyone, the server had already crashed?

It’s abnormally fast. Some maintenance staff had already found the reason and said helplessly, "It’s due to the stacked popularity from Wu Mu’s previous live stream shopping. His live stream’s trending search is still peaking in popularity. The server resources were already small in redundancy, and adding this issue on top of it, it just crashed outright."

One incident wouldn’t suffice, even if it were to crash it should’ve been during the peak hours after several hours of fermenting traffic.

But when two incidents got stacked together, it just went down instantly.

Chief Operating Officer Chen Yong was speechless. He suspected Wu Mu was intentionally testing their server capabilities, dropping so many big news items without a heads-up.

He quickly decided to have maintenance restart the servers and add more groups to prevent further crashes.

But these servers crashing are easy, restarting them is troublesome, taking one or two hours at least to fix.

This one or two hours of downtime, being mocked later is the least of their concerns, the key point is that traffic can easily be snatched away by other platforms. It’s no longer a time when Weibo is the sole dominant platform.

They crashed, but WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, etc., didn’t crash.

Chen Yong anxiously watched the servers restart and then turned to a few mid-level managers who had come together, "Has this year’s Weibo Night list been released yet?"

"It’s out, they’re already preparing on-site." A manager in charge of organizing events responded quickly, although unsure why the leader suddenly asked this.

"Well, at that time, make sure your teams invite Wu Mu. It’s crucial to have him attend." Chen Yong nodded. No matter if Wu Mu was on the list, he certainly will be.

The managers around were surprised. Their platform’s Weibo Night has always been an event coveted by celebrities within the circle. Even though the awards from Weibo Night lack professional credibility, they have always been a chance for celebrities to prove their popularity and influence.

So usually, as long as invited, there’s no fear of them not attending.

If someone doesn’t want to come, they simply don’t give them any awards, yet with Wu Mu, they have to personally invite him?

This is too exaggerated and overly preferential, even if his popularity is high.

But surprisingly, it wasn’t the end.

Chen Yong hesitated for a moment and continued, "If he doesn’t want to come... you can offer some invitation fees, not labeled as an appearance fee, perhaps under creative collaboration from other projects... you can also promise him some traffic preferences and exposure opportunities."

The expressions of the managers beside him became somewhat peculiar.

Is this so humble, like a sycophant? Even if the popularity is high, isn’t this too much? Isn’t Mo Mo or Yang Cheng’s popularity also high?

Although their instantaneous traffic isn’t as high as Wu Mu’s, their average traffic isn’t far off, yet isn’t as exaggerated as this.

Noticing their expressions, Chen Yong also felt a bit helpless. He didn’t want to be so humble either, after all, he was an executive on a super large social platform like Weibo.

But others, when invited, are likely to come, no need to appear too high and mighty, yet someone like Wu Mu... he truly wouldn’t come!

As for why he valued him so much... there’s a difference even between popularity and popularity.

These mid-level managers hadn’t seen detailed traffic statistics on Wu Mu. So they didn’t know compared to other celebrities on the platform, others activate primarily existing platform users, with active accounts refreshing.

But Wu Mu, strangely, has a portion of traffic coming from outside the platform.

It’s unknown where these newcomers are from, those who have never registered on Weibo, would specifically register an account just to watch Wu Mu’s antics.

Old users and new users, for a platform that’s been declining year after year, it’s obvious who’s more important.

Plus, Wu Mu has always been attracting foreign fans to their Weibo International version and even getting foreign traffic directly registering on their domestic version...

It must be said, even among popular celebrities, there is a gap.

Being a bit servile is necessary, attracting new users is important.

...

With Weibo down, the onlookers were confused, surprised at how fast Wu Mu’s popularity fermented.

But indeed, with so many platforms available, if they can’t view or discuss it on Weibo, can’t they go to other platforms then?

So the news about Wu Mu’s new girlfriend continued to spread rapidly.

For instance, in Beijing, at Lan Entertainment Company.

Liu Lan, having nothing to do today, came to the company for inspection. Before entering, she noticed the company was abuzz, seemingly chatting excitedly about something.

Yet as she stepped inside, everyone suddenly became silent as a grave.

Even wanting to show the boss they were working diligently, it seemed a bit exaggerated, right?

Moreover, she wasn’t sure if it was just her illusion, she constantly felt like these employees were quite afraid of making eye contact with her. When she looked over, they all appeared to be frantically working.

Even when she finished her inspection and returned to her office, the employees remained dead silent behind her, still working furiously, as if... they feared angering her today?
