Chapter 278 Buzzing With Chatter
The audience was on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next part of the show.
"Let's mess with Noah!"
"Yeah, that guy Noah is such a loser!"
"Totally, he's so full of himself! Doesn't he realize how pathetic he is?"
The viewers in front of their TVs were buzzing with chatter.
On the screen, the housewarming party began.
First, Noah arrived at Larry's mansion, only to be mocked by relatives for being stingy and not hiring a caterer, opting instead for home-cooked food.
"Noah is not only full of himself, but he's also a cheapskate!"
"Seriously, who hosts a housewarming and cooks the food themselves? At the very least, go out to a restaurant!"
"Look at his face, still trying to act all calm. What a faker!"
"But it's so satisfying to watch!"
Next, at the banquet.
Everyone ignored Noah, but he tried to speak up to get their attention, only to be ridiculed by everyone.
They called him a dreamer, a show-off, and a clown.
"Well said!"
The viewers clapped and cheered:
"That's exactly what Noah deserves! He really is a clown!"
"This guy has no respect for his elders, even hitting his relatives. He totally deserves it!"
"So interesting!"
"Noah is so full of himself, rude, stingy, and just plain awful!"
"He's got a loser mentality, always trying to get attention."
Millions of viewers were discussing Noah, all expressing their disdain for him as a son-in-law.
At the Larry household.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Daniel clapped his hands. "I finally got rid of all the frustration I've had with that loser Noah!"
At this point, the show "I Am a Super Rich" was nearing its end.
"With this show airing, everyone in the country knows what a loser Noah is. Of course, Larry is also well-known now," Sarah smiled.
"But their reputations are worlds apart. Larry became a millionaire, bought a house and a car, and contributed to the family. He's a good man and a great son-in-law."
"Noah, on the other hand, is known nationwide for his flaws—being full of himself, stingy, rude, and more. There will definitely be online discussions about him."
Sure enough, as the show ended, millions of viewers were left wanting more.
They picked up their phones and went to forums, message boards, and Twitter to discuss the characters from "I Am a Super Rich."
Most of the discussions centered around Noah, focusing on three main points.
First, everyone was thrilled to see Noah humiliated.
Some even created memes about Noah.
For example, a meme of Noah standing there, expressionless, with the caption:
[To save face, I must control my expression.]
[My brother-in-law bought a mansion and a luxury car. I'm shocked, but I can't show it.]
Another meme showed a photoshopped hand covering Noah's mouth.
[I want to buy a luxury car and a mansion too.]
[No, your expression tells me you don't.]
These memes were downloaded by many users to use in future conversations.
The second discussion was about why Noah had so many flaws.
Was it a problem with his upbringing that made him this way?
There were many comments under this topic.
[Maybe his parents died, or his family was broken, which made him like this.]
[He was probably bullied at school.]
[People who are full of themselves usually come from poor backgrounds and are often ridiculed.]
[The less dignity they have, the more they try to gain respect.]
The third discussion was about Noah's personal information.
Many users wanted to find out more about Noah, like his age, job, and home address.
But to their disappointment, even hackers couldn't find much about Noah, only that he lived in Oceanbridge City.
There were also some discussions about Larry.
The first episode had earned Larry many fans.
[Larry is so family-oriented. He bought a house and a car with his money and even brought his father-in-law to live with him!]
[Yeah, and he lets his relatives stay in the mansion for free when they come to the city for work.]
[Generous, filial, and helpful, he's the perfect man.]
[From now on, I'm a fan of Larry. Can't wait for the next episode of 'I Am a Super Rich.']
[Larry is going to be a star!]
[The show clearly wants to promote Larry!]
[Larry is making his debut!]
That night, the internet was buzzing with discussions about Noah and Larry from "I Am a Super Rich."
In the mansion, on the couch.
Noah turned off the TV with the remote.
"This 'I Am a Super Rich' show is so awful!"
Lisa was fuming. "Noah, this show ruined you! How are you going to face the public now?"
"If I'm not worried, why should you be?" Noah smiled and patted Lisa on the back of her head. "Just be yourself. These reality shows are just for entertainment. Don't think too much about it."
Seeing that Noah really didn't care, Lisa relaxed a bit, but she was still worried. She figured there would be even more online discussions about Noah tomorrow.
Most of the internet users in Eagleland were like this. They rarely paid attention to important national issues but were very passionate about discussing trivial matters from reality shows.
Sometimes, fans of different sides would even start fights in the comments, which could get pretty intense. After all, words could be powerful, and without a strong heart, it could be hard to handle.
There were even celebrities in the entertainment industry who couldn't take the online abuse and ended up committing suicide.
"Alright, let's go to bed." Noah scooped Lisa up in a princess carry. Her light fragrance filled his nose.
Lisa was startled, her cheeks flushing.
"Noah, be gentle."
"I will." Noah smiled and carried Lisa upstairs.
The next morning, Noah woke up feeling refreshed.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Mr. Anderson, great news!"
Nathan, the manager of Shark Finances, sounded excited.
"What news?" Noah asked curiously.
"Last night, the ratings for the premiere of 'I Am a Super Rich' came out. It got a 3.2% rating, making it the top show in its time slot!" Nathan said with a smile.
"According to the stats, over 10 million people watched 'I Am a Super Rich' last night!"
"Over 10 million people!"
Noah's eyes widened. For a premiere, having over 10 million viewers was incredible.
Even the premiere of Running Man had only around 4 million viewers.
"And there's more," Nathan continued.
"'I Am a Super Rich' is trending on Twitter today, and it's the number one topic. The best part is, it reached the top spot without any paid promotion. It was all organic, driven by the viewers' interest!"
