Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

When Chen Jincheng came downstairs with Lin Leqing, he saw Zhu Ling carrying out a ceramic stew pot.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall takes a very long time to cook—several hours at the minimum, and sometimes over ten hours.

’The young woman must have come over during the day to start this dish. She’s so thoughtful.’

"Boss, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is ready. Come and try some," Zhu Ling called out, her face full of anticipation.

After learning how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she had cooked it for her grandmother and younger sister, who both said it was delicious. But what she hoped for most was her boss’s approval.

Chen Jincheng led Lin Leqing to the dining table and sat down.

Zhu Ling lifted the lid, and a rich aroma instantly wafted out, whetting their appetites.

She immediately ladled a bowl for her boss.

Then, she looked at Lin Leqing and served her a bowl as well.

Lin Leqing stared in surprise at the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the stew pot. Its appearance was clearly beautiful, one could even say perfect. Combined with the fragrance, it was incredibly appetizing.

Although she knew some cooking, it was all just home-style dishes. A masterpiece like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was far beyond her skill.

Chen Jincheng had already started sampling the ingredients in his bowl.

His eyes lit up after the first bite.

The abalone was soft yet springy, the sea cucumber rich and plump, as if filled with nourishment aged over time.

The fish maw was sticky and smooth, seeming to melt a wealth of collagen onto the tip of his tongue.

The dried scallops were savory and fragrant, releasing a concentrated essence of the sea.

The broth was thick and rich. A single sip was mellow and fragrant, its savory flavors blooming in layers, spreading from the tongue throughout his entire body. The lingering aftertaste was like a luxurious feast for the senses.

"This is delicious! It’s even better than what you’d get from a head chef at a restaurant," Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but praise her.

In the other world, when Li Ziqi made her Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, many people commented that they wondered which man would be lucky enough to eat it.

Some even said that only a man who had accumulated the good fortune of three lifetimes would get to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by Li Ziqi.

In his previous life, he was the kind of person who would never get to taste it.

In this life, he was more determined than ever to build Zhu Ling into a Li Ziqi-like figure. Then, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall would also be something others couldn’t have, while he could eat it whenever he wanted.

’Just thinking about it feels amazing.’

He could even have her post a video of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and then he could obnoxiously post his own video of him eating it with the caption: "This is the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall you can’t have."

’I’d probably get flamed for that.’

"Boss, is it really that good?" Zhu Ling asked happily.

"Yes, it’s delicious," Chen Jincheng confirmed again. They had eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at a restaurant during a team-building event before, but it couldn’t even compare to what she had made.

If he had to make a comparison, it felt like the restaurant’s version was a fake.

It would be impossible to make it this delicious without putting in a tremendous amount of effort, which also proved that she was truly suited for the Li Ziqi path.

Even Lin Leqing had to admit that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Zhu Ling made was surprisingly delicious.

To be honest, the other woman made her feel a bit insecure. After all, she was so beautiful, and her special aura was something Lin Leqing envied.

Everyone else envied her for having the Innate Young Housewife Sacred Body attribute at the age of twenty, but at this age, she would rather have Zhu Ling’s kind of aura.

Crucially, Zhu Ling was also the top star of Second-Life Star and was such an amazing cook.

So, she chose to silently eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in her bowl.

Zhu Ling also silently ladled a bowl for herself.

She was, of course, aware of the special relationship between Lin Leqing and their boss. After all, the boss was just too wild.

Lin Leqing had walked in on her and the boss, and after he went to comfort her, he had even carried her upstairs right in front of Zhu Ling.

Therefore, the best choice at this moment was to not bring up that topic.

But even with their mutual silence, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.

So, after two bowls of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, both young women silently took out their phones and started scrolling through Tiao Yin, avoiding eye contact.

Today, Tiao Yin was filled with content about their boss and Soda. They didn’t have to scroll through many videos before coming across related ones.

"Boss, your e-commerce video has hit a new record," Lin Leqing said in surprise.

Chen Jincheng also picked up his phone to check the e-commerce leaderboard.

The number of orders had already reached 2.465 million cases, and the total sales revenue had hit 256 million.

At their current production capacity, it would take two months to fulfill all these orders. Fortunately, President Lei had already agreed to settle the commission fees in advance. That, combined with the revenue from these orders, would allow them to go all-in on acquiring more breweries.

However, after deducting the 10% commission from the 256 million, the remaining sales revenue was still over 230 million.

The cost for a case of the regular version was currently 25 yuan, making the total cost only 61.63 million. That left a profit of 169 million, which would still be terrifyingly high even after taxes.

The profit margin for the bar version would be even higher.

Moreover, of that 10% commission, 80% of it belonged to Second-Life Star.

’So, the profits from this Soda are truly insane.’

As the breweries expanded, these numbers would continue to double. The initial projection of several hundred million a month was just a baseline; the current trend indicated it would be much more.

The girls from Second-Life Star had already been assigned their Soda stock, as had the 600-plus girls from Lin Hao Company.

Next, nearly 1,000 beautiful influencers would be simultaneously releasing videos for Soda. Adding Tiao Yin’s all-out traffic promotion to stabilize the trend, the resulting bandwagon effect would be terrifying.

One could only imagine that the orders from this e-commerce video would explode to a terrifying level tomorrow.

Once the bandwagon effect kicked in and created the fixed impression that all beautiful women loved this Soda, it would become the mainstay of the nightlife scene, just like in the other world.
