After eating, Wang Zixuan spent some time with his family before going upstairs.

Upon reaching his study, Wang Zixuan couldn't wait to turn on his computer.

The first thing he did was to log onto Weibo. In just half a day, his followers had increased by nearly 100,000, showing how much exposure he had received that morning.

"Hubby, you're so awesome."

"Hubby, you're so amazing."

"Making 110 times in 60 days, I'm kneeling."

"Admiring the top predator, please take me under your wing."

"Hubby, give me some pointers, let's get rich together."

...

Feeling satisfied, Wang Zixuan read the comments for a while and then posted another Weibo: "May there be millions of spacious houses to shelter all the poor and make them smile. After a night of small wealth, I will take out 1 billion RMB to establish a positive energy fund for charity. After the auditions for 'The Voice of China' end, I will recruit relevant personnel on Weibo. Those who can go to the countryside and remote areas can start preparing, with excellent benefits!"

This Weibo post immediately drew many netizens to forward and comment.

"Hubby, you're so awesome."

"Hubby, I'll quit my job and wait for you."

"Hubby, I'll wait for you, I'm heading to the capital now."

"Positive energy prince."

"Is Prince Wang trying to dominate the headlines? Tomorrow's headline will be Prince Wang again."

"Still the same formula, still the same spendthrift, are you sure you haven't been possessed by aliens?"

"Still the same formula, still the same spendthrift, are you sure you haven't been possessed by aliens?"

"Still the same formula, still the same spendthrift, are you sure you haven't been possessed by aliens?"

"Starting to save money now, I'll donate to Hubby's fund when it's established."

"Not buying cosmetics this month, saving to donate."

...

After reading the comments for a while, Wang Zixuan joked with Chen Zuming, Chen Kun, and other celebrities who had mentioned him, before checking the messages on his phone.

Many people had sent him congratulatory messages, praising his huge earnings.

A few of the second-generation rich he knew, more celebrities he met at the Basha Charity Night, and two journalists who somehow got his phone number and wanted to interview him.

Wang Zixuan uniformly replied with a thank you, and naturally ignored the interview requests.

With his current popularity, what if he got trampled to death if he went out?

With news about Wang Zixuan flooding the media, the fear of death made him decide to stay at home.

Over the weekend, Wang Zixuan's Weibo followers increased from over 1.7 million to over 2.6 million, showing his exposure.

After the launch of 'The Voice of China,' the rate of his follower growth, which had slowed down due to the lack of new extravagant news, surged again.

Moreover, Wang Zixuan's fan base expanded across all age groups. Previously, his fans were mostly young people who enjoyed watching rich and handsome men and talent shows, but now he had many more investors and people who followed him because of his promise to donate 1 billion RMB.

The "experts" who had criticized Wang Zixuan all played the ostrich, no longer discussing him, while some shamelessly started to flatter him, as if they had never criticized him before.

On Monday, after London gold fell by one point, it was quickly pulled up. Many domestic investors, seeing that gold was still rising, followed the trend and went long.

Tuesday was December 1st, and the whole country was going crazy for 'The Voice of China.'

The 5 million RMB prize was tempting enough, and with no age or appearance restrictions, anyone who was confident in their voice signed up to participate.

This time, it wasn't just the young who were crazy; people of all ages appeared at the auditions.

If not for the regulation by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television that participants must be at least 18 years old, the auditions for 'The Voice of China' would have covered all age groups.

The registration process was simple; after the staff verified the identity information, participants could queue up to enter the auditions.

This was to prevent those who were eliminated from re-entering the auditions.

Participating in the auditions was easy; as long as you were 18 years old and didn't violate the regulations, you could participate, but passing was difficult.

To control the number of qualifiers, a participant had to receive a green light from all three judges: the celebrity judge, the expert judge, and the public judge.

Wang Zixuan had custom-ordered five high-end swivel chairs from abroad, each costing over a million RMB. To be safe, he had an extra one prepared.

These high-end swivel chairs were clearly not used for the auditions and were not enough to be distributed.

The judges at the auditions used a simple device with two buttons in front of them: a cross and a circle. The circle meant pass, and the cross meant fail.

Each contestant had one minute to sing a cappella. If they performed poorly, the judges would press the cross to eliminate them, speeding up the audition process.

To ensure the smooth running of the auditions in various regions, Chen Zuming not only dispatched all his company's staff but also borrowed many from Chen Long, Nicholas Tse, and others. Of course, the majority were locally hired.

Just the security personnel numbered 100 per region, totaling over 3,000 across all regions. With varying labor costs, the security alone cost over 500,000 RMB per day.

There were also other cleaning and logistics staff.

Of course, compared to Wang Zixuan's previous extravagant spending, this was nothing.

As the company president, Wang Zixuan naturally couldn't avoid showing up.

At around 7:30 AM, he arrived at the Beijing audition venue with eight bodyguards.

As soon as Wang Zixuan's Lamborghini Reventon appeared, the reporters interviewing the audition participants gathered around, taking photos.

Some reporters even ran alongside the car.

After the media coverage over the past few days, few people didn't recognize Wang Zixuan's car.

The reporters inside the venue also ran over when they saw Wang Zixuan's car.

"Hello, I'm from the 'Beijing Evening News.' Mr. Wang, can you predict the future of gold..."

"Hello, I'm from 'Entertainment Weekly.' Mr. Wang, what do you think the highest ratings for 'The Voice of China' will be..."

"Hello, I'm from..."

As soon as Wang Zixuan opened the car door, the reporters, who were held back by the bodyguards a few meters away, started asking questions.

Getting out of the car, Wang Zixuan raised his hand to quiet the reporters and said, "I'll answer one question. Short-term gold is approaching its peak. Thank you all for promoting 'The Voice of China.'"

After that, he waved to the reporters and left under the protection of his bodyguards.

He knew that under his 60-day, 110-fold myth, many people might follow him in going long on gold, and he didn't want the Chinese people to lose money.

Although in that market, some people would inevitably lose money for others to make money, he still wanted to do his part.

The staff inside the venue had already received the news and came out to welcome Wang Zixuan.

Under the guidance of the staff, the group entered the audition venue, which was not luxurious but spacious.

Sun Nan and a music professor were already there, and the public judges were randomly selected from the crowd.

Wang Zixuan chatted briefly with the staff and judges present. Once the auditions started and everything was running smoothly, he left with his bodyguards.

Back home, Wang Zixuan also posted a Weibo: "Just participated in 'The Voice of China' auditions, but didn't pass. I hate you @Sun Nan @Chen Zuming."

Sun Nan didn't have time to reply to Wang Zixuan, but Chen Zuming found a moment to @ him: "Boss, you designed the blind auditions!"

Wang Zixuan sent an angry emoji: "Still talking back! No red envelopes at the end of the year."

Chen Zuming immediately knelt: "You've earned so many billions, the red envelopes must be huge. Boss, I'm wrong, I'll get to work right away, please give the red envelopes!"

Wang Zixuan added a boss emoji: "Children, work hard, the year-end red envelopes will be big."

(Thank you to the book friends "Jishi Fen Shen V" and "Juedui Maomao Si" for the 100 RMB reward. This chapter is an extra for the first steward "135895846465".)
