Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 145 Trending Again

Discussion first erupted on the forum.

[Breaking: A "rich-beautiful" heiress drops $20M for ONE DINNER with Zhou Yi!]

The headline alone screamed clickbait gold. Zhou Yi. Rich-beautiful. $20 million. Each word dripped with scandalous allure.

[OMG, today in class, this total RICH GIRL said she'd spend $20M to take Zhou Yi out to dinner—and he SAID NO?! Pics or it didn't happen (photo attached).]

The original poster briefly recounted the incident before dropping a photo of Zhou Yi sitting next to Kong Huaijin.

Below, the comments section exploded with sarcasm:

[Sure, I believe a hot girl asked him out—but $20 MILLION? Get real.]

[Come on, even A-list celebs don't charge that much for appearances. He's not exactly Hollywood royalty.]

[Another one of Zhou Yi's delusional fangirls? $20M? Laughable.]

[Did Zhou Yi hire her as an actress? Bringing method acting to campus now?]

[Probably just messing around. Why are people taking this seriously?]

But amidst the cynicism, others jumped in to defend:

[That custom diamond-studded Hermès bag she casually placed on the table is worth $5M by itself. Stop talking nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about—it just makes you look clueless.]

[She's stunning. Forget "rich-beautiful"—this woman screams CEO vibes. So commanding.]

[For someone like her, $20M isn't even a big deal. I'd PAY HER to go out with me. Is Zhou Yi THAT picky?]

[Do these trolls have eyes? That's Kong Huaijin, eldest daughter of Huaihai's richest man! Holy crap, Zhou Yi is unreal.]

[Wait... THE richest man's daughter???]

[Checked it. Forbes-listed billionaire worth $19B. CEO of Huaiyuan Group.]

This revelation sent shockwaves through the thread.

At Huaihai University, aside from Su Ning, other students also recognized Kong Huaijin. Among Huaihai's elite circles, many wealthy families had crossed paths with her, so her identity quickly surfaced online.

Even the original poster hadn't anticipated Kong Huaijin's jaw-dropping status. They only knew from the conversation that she came from money.

No wonder she tossed around $20M like loose change—she literally could afford it.

It wasn't long before the news spread to Zhou Yi's fanbase and climbed to #10 on the trending list.

The two in the photo radiated star power. Just sitting there chatting, they sparked fantasies of an idol drama.

Couple their unique identities—a female tycoon pursuing a male college student—and fans couldn't help but ship them hard.

[CEO Goddess, please give me your love code. I'll wait for you on the moon till the end of time.]

[Who understands the gravity of this CEO-college guy dynamic? Not even romance novels would dare write this plot.]

[Turns out those novels were right. There really ARE women who throw millions at dinner dates for love.]

[I'd marry her tomorrow—even as a side wife.]

[Everyone's obsessed with the CEO, but HELLO, has anyone noticed how handsome HE is? If I were rich, I'd be throwing cash his way too, sob.]

[HELLO, that's ZHOU YI! He's a CEO himself! This is a power couple match made in heaven. Fans of strong pairings rejoice.]

[And let's not forget—he's a musical prodigy! Anyone heard his song "Baby"? Obsessed doesn't cover it.]

Given the buzz, TikTok influencers wasted no time churning out content about Zhou Yi and Kong Huaijin, spinning wild tales about their supposed backstories.

Influencers thrive on hype. Real identities? Irrelevant. Some even claimed Zhou Yi was secretly the son of foreign nobility.

While some admired and gushed over the story, envy naturally brewed among others.

Enter Zhang Wu.

Fuming, Zhang Wu hammered away at his phone, ignoring whatever Zhou Yi and the CEO were discussing. His mission? Shut down every single troll.

Zhang Wu, a heavyweight in his own right, unleashed a barrage of insults so sharp, they cut deeper than any curse word.

[If ugliness generated electricity, you'd power the entire planet—and still have surplus.]

[You look like a QR code. Scan it, and you STILL won't find anything worthwhile.]

[Thank goodness you're not a flower, or else even cows would refuse to poop near you.]

[To some people, I only have one thing to say: my hand fits perfectly across your face.]

[Though the cerebellum and duodenum look similar, yours seem to share the same hollow emptiness.]

[Your face is magical—it stretches thin, thickens on demand, and sometimes disappears entirely.]

Zhang Wu's username? "BroYiDiehardFan." Gender: Male. With this performance, Zhang Wu skyrocketed to fame.

Not only did Zhou Yi's fandom recognize him, but influential figures across fanbases hailed him as the ultimate role model for anti-hate warriors.

[Look at BroYi's fan base. THIS is how you clap back at haters. Leave them speechless.]

[If you can't roast trolls like this, don't call yourself a true fan.]

[Can't even match up to Little Diehard? You're not worthy of calling yourselves true fans!]

[Can we poach Little Diehard for our anti-hate squad leader? Desperately need talent like him. So jealous.]

"Little Diehard" became Zhang Wu's affectionate nickname within the fandom.

Zhou Yi became the object of envy—not just for his legion of female fans but also for having such a fiercely loyal male supporter.

Though rumors swirled that Zhang Wu might actually BE Zhou Yi, they were debunked. During Zhang Wu's tirade, Zhou Yi hadn't even glanced at his phone. In class, the two exchanged only casual words.

It was noon when Kong Huaijin discovered she'd trended alongside Zhou Yi.
