In the morning.
At home.
Zhang Ye was still sleeping when the bedroom door opened.
"Little Ye!"
"Mom, what do you want?"
"Wake up."
"What time is it? Where's Old Wu?"
"Your wife has already left for work. Wake up quickly! There's news of you on TV!"
"Hai, which day am I not in the news? I'm already sick of seeing it."
"It's about your Asian popularity ranking. You've advanced again!"
"Huh? Surely not, right? Didn't I get banned in Japan and Korea?"
"Have a look for yourself!"
"Alright, let me see."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Ye woke up some more. He sat up in bed with a yawn and picked up his phone to browse for his ranking on the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index. He was immediately delighted by what he saw. He really rose in the rankings? He checked online and found that everyone was also talking about this.
On Weibo.
"The Japanese and Koreans must be dumbfounded!"
