Eric noticed my astonishment and smiled. "This is actually still on the lower side. Once they finalize the plan for promoting you and the company starts investing resources, your followers could increase by tens of thousands in a single day."
Eric was accustomed to this and continued, "In less than a month, you could become a writer with a million followers. At that point, people will envy you and scrutinize your life with a magnifying glass.
"If you don't want people finding faults, it's best to start controlling your actions and words now."
He patted my shoulder, his tone full of sympathy. "So, enjoy these days when your fanbase is still small. This might be one of the few times you have freedom in your life."
With that, he left the office.
I sat there quietly, and my mind was occupied with Eric's words.
So it turned out that being liked by many people wasn't always a good thing.
…
Zane, having washed the thermos, was waiting outside for Eric.
Eric saw him and instantly wiped the smile off his face. "Mr. Huxham."
"Has the promotion plan for Anna's comics been finalized?" Zane asked calmly, walking with him to a quiet spot away from others.
Huxham Corporation had many important projects that were crucial to the company's future. But Zane had never cared about them. He never inquired about the establishment or development of new companies, either.
Yet today, he specifically asked about Annalise's project.
What did this mean?
It meant that Zane definitely liked Annalise!
