Chapter 116: Chapter 80: Freshly Baked Educational Influencer

"Oh no, the WeChat account bound to this phone number is being used by my mom. My WeChat is linked to another secondary card, so I’ll just add you directly. Is your WeChat this phone number?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then add me later, and we’ll contact through WeChat. Bye."

After saying this, the person on the other side hung up the phone directly.

Xu Shu listened to the beeping on the phone, and his whole body went limp as he slumped over his desk.

Is this the ability of a mathematics gold medalist?

One phone call took his emotions on a wild rollercoaster ride.

Suddenly, his smart watch on his wrist vibrated. Xu Shu raised his wrist to check, and found it was an automatic heart rate anomaly alert from the watch, with red data showing his heart rate had reached 126 beats per minute just now.

This was really too damn exciting!

...

In the cozy home in the Railway Community of Star City.

Qiao Xi looked at his unreliable son and asked, "You want the Blue V verification, so why scare people?"

As Qiao Yu fiddled with his phone, he casually replied, "Just checking out what kind of person he is, and by scaring him a bit, maybe I’ll get better service in the future. It’s like giving a stick and then giving a sweet date."

Qiao Xi pursed his lips, noncommittal, and then curiously asked, "You’re not making it up, are you? There really is a crime for infringing on citizens’ personal information, right?"

"There is, but the filing standards are very high. For example, selling location trajectory information for use in a crime by others; or knowingly selling or providing it for a crime; or illegally obtaining and selling various information up to more than fifty pieces.

The person just bought a phone number to invite me to join Weibo. If I really report it, I bet the police uncle would be too lazy to care, especially in this hot weather. Who would want to go out!

Anyway, as long as you shop online, order takeout, watch videos... your phone number can’t be kept confidential. This Xu Shu is an honest person, he’s really scared. His voice was trembling when he spoke just now."

Qiao Yu explained nonchalantly.

It wasn’t boasting when he told the good guy that he had specifically studied the Criminal Law Code.

Although he didn’t fully remember the specific articles, he had a basic understanding of the crimes and general standards for prosecution in his mind.

After scaring Xu Shu a bit, sure enough, the other side was quite efficient. As soon as the request to add him on WeChat was sent, the other side clicked agree in less than two seconds.

First, Qiao Yu applied for a Weibo account, then he ran into his room, found his old middle school student ID, took a photo, and captured some backstage screenshots of the Little Alibaba Mathematics Competition to send over.

In less than five minutes, the other side sent a message.

"Congratulations, Qiao Yu. Your verification is successful. If the blue V doesn’t show on your side yet, just log out and log back in to see it. If you encounter any issues during use, feel free to ask me for help. Also, there is a Blue V usage guideline, take a look, and just choose to agree."

A link followed the message.

Qiao Yu clicked to take a look, and it was just some rights and obligations, for example, not to post certain types of content; otherwise, Weibo has the right to delete violating content or even block the account completely.

This aspect didn’t restrict Qiao Yu much.

Qiao Yu always believed that as an 8th-grade student who could score 57 in the moral and rule of law exam, he would never make mistakes on such major issues.

After admiring his Blue V Weibo account for a while, Xu Shu sent another message.

"Qiao Yu, everything is set up. You can try posting a Weibo to greet all your followers."

A reasonable suggestion, Qiao Yu quickly replied, "Okay."

After thinking for a moment, he posted his first-ever Weibo:

"Hi, everyone, I am the high school student who participated in the Little Alibaba Mathematics Competition and won the gold medal in the Number Theory group, Qiao Yu. I welcome all students who love math competitions to discuss tough problems with me on Weibo.

You can leave your classic, interesting, and unsolvable competition questions in the comments, or message me in private. Of course, I won’t solve them for free."

After editing, Qiao Yu clicked send.

In less than a minute, Xu Shu sent another message on WeChat: "Uh, Qiao Yu, did you make a mistake in your last sentence?"

"No mistake. Generally, the first Weibo post should be about building an image, right? As long as the floor for my persona is low enough, there’s no way I’d be morally blackmailed in the future, isn’t that great? Oh, could you pin this Weibo post for me?"

He replied with a complex mood emoji.

But it didn’t delay the work on his end; when Qiao Yu refreshed the page, sure enough, the Weibo post was pinned.

Then he sent another message: "Since you want to offer paid question-solving services, you could apply for a wallet function and open a paid Q&A channel."

"Hmm? I never really used Weibo, so I didn’t know you could have paid question-solving here too? I thought that was only on Zhihu." Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, enabling the Blue V on Weibo was the right choice; he might even make some pocket money while taking mental breaks in the future.

After a bit of fiddling around with Xu Shu’s help, he finally set everything up.

If someone asks him a question, he’ll receive a notification after payment. He can also set the price range for questions.

Based on his offline experience, Qiao Yu casually set the range at 50-10,000. If he wanted, he could also write some articles for users to pay to read.

So Qiao Yu had another bold idea.

"Xu Shu, can you add in my personal verification that I also scored full marks in both Chinese and English in the Star City High School Entrance Exam? Moreover, what do you think about promoting paid operations for ghostwriting nationwide junior high school assignments in Weibo, even imitating handwriting?"

The other side sent a crying emoji.

"Qiao Yu, should I call you ’bro’? Although it’s not illegal, it does violate the rules! Parents would complain like crazy."

"Oh! Then forget it, have a rest. I need to get busy."

After saying that, Qiao Yu exited the chat with Xu Shu, and then posted a screenshot of his Blue V authentication in the Little Alibaba Gold Medalist and friends group chat, @ing two people along the way.

"Friends, I am now a verified V. In the future, if you have any math questions you don’t understand, you can just choose paid consultation on Weibo. No need to feel embarrassed, if you don’t tell me your Weibo names, I won’t know you two noobs."

This time, Little Fatty jumped out first, and his opening was a crude word.

"Damn, damn, damn, what kind of cutie would pay to consult math problems on Weibo? It’s not possible on WeChat either, we all have teachers! Can’t you save the questions to ask the teacher?"

"Haha... why aren’t you doing military training?"

"Military training was finished mid-month! We had placement tests on the 10th, results were out on the 11th for class placements, military training started on the 12th, and ended on the 18th. Which serious school still does military training at this time?!"

"Sorry, our school is doing military training. Isn’t mid-August hot?"

"Go find out when it’s not hot in Shuangqing during summer."

Within two sentences, Chu Buzhi also popped out.

The remark was still brief, with a disdainful expression and two words: "Childish!"

"Haha, Old Yu, I know you’re mature, but you’re lacking in math. Opportunities to bridge shortfalls with a little money aren’t that common; after all, I’ll be busy once school starts, and I might cancel paid consultations at any time."

"Old Yu, I’m not trying to stir things up, but Qiao Yu is openly looking down on you. If I were you, I couldn’t tolerate it; I’d throw money at him until he didn’t dare say you’re lacking!"

Over time, after daily bickering in the group, Little Fatty and Yu Wei’s relationship started taking on an unusual dynamic.

At least, there wasn’t only annoyance...

Unfortunately, after Yu Wei sent that remark, there was no response.

This left Qiao Yu feeling a bit unhappy.

Wasn’t it supposed to be that rich kids loved to squander? Which rich kid stays this calm!
