Indeed, by late night, it wasn't just Zhao Yuan; everyone following the matter noticed that the buzz around the Street Vendor Girl incident hadn't died down. In fact, it had surged, visibly increasing by 50% on the trending charts.
The people at Tiao Yin were most aware of this. The incident had already set a new record for trending popularity on their platform.
Crucially, this incident was fundamentally different from purely entertaining videos like the Booty Dance. It had evolved into a social phenomenon.
Social phenomena, however, always carry a different kind of significance. Their impact isn't limited to entertainment; it extends in many directions, capable of attracting external news media, even official state media, and breaking through the attention bubble of a single platform.
To put it simply, this trend was initially orchestrated by Chen Jincheng. The beneficiaries were Chen Jincheng, Ah Hao, and the Coastal Publicity Association.
