The interview was a big success.

The next day, write-ups appeared in Shanghai's local business papers, and the video was posted all over social media. Practically overnight, Xu Ye's name was everywhere.

Zhao Ming showed Zhang Ruowei the video over a meal. The moment she finished watching, she shared it to the dorm group chat.

She knew exactly how to praise him so it hit home, and she capped it off with "Take care of yourself out there." That was the knockout punch.

Old Xu and Old Zhang saw the video on Saturday night. Xu Ye hadn't told them. Wang Manning had come across it online and sent it to her mom, Zhang Ying. When Zhang Ying called Zhang Hong, she…
