Spring Blossom was the heroine’s name in that novel–the female lead.
“Yes!”
The crowd roared!
“Then may I ask for a small favor today?
Could you share this and ask friends to cheer for Vivian?”
Vivian bowed again.
“Yes!”
Vivian smiled, directing staff to wheel out a phone tower stacked with five hundred latest–model smart- phones.
“That screen shows real–time data. Once I surpass Roy, we’ll draw lucky winners right here–all five hundred phones! Don’t leave!”
“Wow!”
Excitement surged in wave after wave.
The campaign was fiercely competitive. In just ten minutes, Vivian’s support rate surged to 51%, over- taking Roy.

Fire burned in his eyes–he needed answers now.
Fifteen minutes later, Alexander arrived at Lisa’s apartment door.
“Ding–dong ding–dong ding–dong!”
The urgent chimes betrayed his impatience.
Lisa blinked open bleary eyes, dizziness washing over her as she realized she’d slept curled on the sofa.
She rubbed her temples. Still spinning.
The doorbell persisted. Leaning weakly against the doorframe, she finally opened it.
