Chapter 178: This Has Truly Gone Viral
The next day.
As customers arrived to experience Medal Club, they immediately noticed the enormous promotional advertisement atop the club.
On it were four handsome young men holding a Medal Club banner, smiling brilliantly.
"This...is F4?"
"Whoa. Is this real? They even got F4 as endorsers?"
Some people looked excited and thrilled, while others were completely bewildered.
"What's F4? Isn't that just keys on a computer keyboard?"
"Those are the idols from that popular drama series recently."
"I've been watching those four guys in the internet cafe to pick up girls, accompanying my girlfriend."
A group of customers excitedly discussed, and those with phones immediately took them out to snap pictures standing under the endorsement advertisement.
Then they started calling their friends and acquaintances, heavily promoting it.
"Hey, remember that shooting club I told you about? They got F4 as their image endorsers."
"Damn, that's a huge photo."
"Get lost, of course I'm not a fan."
"Are you missing a screw in your brain? Can't you just think about how excited the girl you're pursuing would be if you brought her here to see her idols..."
Immediately a loud shout came from the other end of the phone.
"Whoa. You sly dog. But I love it! Hehehe."
Similar situations played out in everyone's conversations.
Soon, news of F4 endorsing Medal Club appeared on various school forums.
It then spread to local forums in Yunhai.
All the female audience went crazy.
There was no helping it, as these four were simply too popular.
Currently, the drama 'Meteor Garden' had just been on air for a month and was ferociously sweeping across the Southeast Asian market.
Domestically, it was a bit slower, but this was precisely the time when the 'Meteor Garden' craze was starting.
Even in various internet cafes, the ratio of female customers surged, just to watch an episode of 'Meteor Garden' on the computers.
Those who weren't fans could never understand just how crazy devoted fans could be.
In just a single morning, the gossip about F4 endorsing a Yunhai club had spread throughout the entire city.
All women who liked watching dramas went crazy, dragging their husbands or boyfriends to go see it in person.
Even those women who weren't fans also curiously followed along to take a look.
From the afternoon onwards, the entire club could hardly operate normally.
There was no helping it, as there were simply too many people.
The shooting range was packed like sardines, unable to start even a single competitive match.
Crowds of people swarmed around, with men excitedly observing the shooting range.
Meanwhile, the women crowded at the entrance, first taking pictures around Richie Jen's photo, then crazily snapping pictures around F4's photo.
As there were too many people later on, Chen Fan had no choice but to have Feng Pojun personally lead five or six security guards to maintain order on site.
Those women who had finished taking pictures didn't leave in a hurry either, curiously entering the club to explore.
Then, to their delight, they discovered that this club even had a yoga studio, badminton court, and tennis court.
In this era, it wasn't easy to find a sports club in Yunhai.
Seeing the brand-new courts, some female customers who had originally come just to take a look ended up signing up for memberships on the spot.
Meanwhile, some girls were persuaded by their boyfriends to get memberships, with the reason being that the boys wanted to come play with guns.
Inside the club, Ding Dian stood dumbfounded on the upstairs walkway.
Staring at the exaggerated, crowded scene below.
For a long while, she couldn't come to her senses.
She simply couldn't understand how Chen Fan had managed to achieve this?
Just because of one celebrity endorsement photo?
She didn't follow celebrities, so she didn't understand a star's appeal to fans.
However, Ding Dian knew the details of how Chen Fan had gotten Guo Wendong to endorse the club initially.
At that time, Chen Fan had finalized several highly popular celebrities, but in the end had to give up because the prices were too high.
This F4 was just a small-time celebrity that Chen Fan had casually written down as a backup option.
However, by a twist of fate, they had unexpectedly exploded in popularity.
It was precisely because of the smash hit 'Meteor Garden' over the past month that made F4 famous, and then F4's endorsement in turn made the club a huge hit.
Everything fit together seamlessly.
If it had been even a few days later, after they became famous, Chen Fan might not have been able to sign these four.
Was it a coincidence or intentional?
Ding Dian was extremely curious.
Had Chen Fan somehow known in advance that these four would become popular, thus betting on them?
Or had Chen Fan watched 'Meteor Garden' early and felt the drama would be a hit?
If it was simply due to good luck, accidentally striking the jackpot,
Then Ding Dian had to admit, this kid's fortune was truly outrageous.
On the morning of the third day of opening, the commotion caused by the club finally attracted media attention.
Yunhai TV station dispatched reporters to specifically cover the grand opening.
The footage even intentionally featured Richie Jen and F4's promotional advertisements.
With the TV broadcast, Medal Club had truly become famous in Yunhai. Although not to the point of being a household name, it was close.
On the third day, as soon as Ding Dian arrived at the club, she was startled by the scene before her eyes.
Without exaggeration, it was a massive crowd.
The entire club was packed with people coming to see the excitement, and inside was equally crowded.
At the reception area, the four female staff members were so busy they could barely touch the ground, without even time to drink water.
Ding Dian finally squeezed her way upstairs through the crowd and saw Chen Fan leisurely sipping tea. She gave him an odd look.
At this point, she understood that the previous bet had completely lost its meaning.
In just one month, Chen Fan had taken only three days to make the club's name resound loudly.
This time, Ding Dian didn't hesitate.
She walked up to Chen Fan and said, "I lost."
"I'm willing to work at the club."
Chen Fan smiled slightly and stood up, extending his hand.
"Welcome."
Ding Dian asked, "What position did you want me for?"
"General manager, didn't I say so before?"
Ding Dian shook her head.
"No way. I don't have experience in that area."
Chen Fan smiled, "You can see, I'm really short-staffed here."
"I'll probably need to hire more people, but luckily the club's reputation has been established, so hiring should be much easier from now on."
"Being the general manager is the easiest part, it doesn't matter if you can't manage, you just need to know how to utilize people."
Chen Fan encouraged, "Be bold and go for it, I trust my own judgment."
Seeing that Ding Dian still wanted to say something, Chen Fan spoke again.
"Don't be afraid of making mistakes, after all, I'm still here."
Ding Dian hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.
"Thank you for your trust. I'll give it my all."
Chen Fan smiled.
Ding Dian hesitated, unable to hold back her inner doubts any longer.
"For this F4 endorsement, did you already know they would become popular before signing them?"
Chen Fan shook his head decisively.
"I'm not a psychic, how could I have known?"
"Then...how do you explain this?"
Chen Fan smiled, "I think it's just that my luck is really good, and I happened to step in dog poop."
"Of course, it's also possible that I have good character and the heavens are helping me."
Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan deeply.
"You're not telling the truth."
Of course he couldn't tell the truth.
This secret, Chen Fan could never reveal to anyone, even his most intimate lover.
As they chatted, at the club entrance, Fang Ling was standing there, looking curiously at the promotional advertisements of Richie Jen and F4 overhead.
The expression on her face was as if she had seen a ghost.
It had only been a few days since she was last here, how did the amusement park turn into a club?
