Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chen Jincheng looked at the message he’d sent and nodded.

’This is how a righteous person should act. You couldn’t say something so virtuous unless you were a role model for the entire internet.’

「At the same time, in another hotel room.」

Little Su Fei looked nervously at the phone in Sun Yifan’s hand. "Do you think he’ll look down on me?"

Sun Yifan was speechless. "It’s already done. What’s the point of worrying about it now? With your looks, do you really believe there’s a cat that won’t sneak a taste of fish?"

"Yes, Chen Jincheng is handsome, rich, talented, and has a great body, but he’s still a man, baby. You have to trust me!"

Little Su Fei was confident in her looks, but who could stay calm in a situation like this?

After learning that her best friend, Sun Yifan, had betrayed her and sent *those* kinds of photos to Chen Jincheng, she felt helpless. Since things had already gone this far, she decided to go all in.

’I can’t let him see them for free!’

So, she cooperatively filmed that video and sent it to Chen Jincheng.

Just then, the screen of Sun Yifan’s phone lit up. A message had arrived on WeChat.

Little Su Fei immediately leaned in and saw the self-righteous, angry tirade from Chen Jincheng.

She panicked. "Ningning, look! This was all your terrible idea! He doesn’t like it at all! He must be disgusted with me and thinks I’m some kind of indecent woman."

"I can’t go on! I threw myself at him and still got rejected. Sun Yifan, you might as well just strangle me now! No, wait, before I die, I want to strangle you and take you down with me!"

As she spoke, she flopped around and buried her face in the blankets.

Sun Yifan said speechlessly, "You’re not the one who sent it, so how does that make you indecent? At worst, he’ll just think I took the pictures secretly. How would he ever guess you conspired with me?"

Little Su Fei uncovered her face again. "You’re right. He doesn’t know."

But then she was on the verge of tears again. "But he clearly rejected it, Ningning! You said no man could resist my charm. You lied!"

Sun Yifan was exasperated. "You don’t understand Chen Jincheng at all. The idea of him *not* getting involved with someone right under his nose is absurd. Do you really think he sent that message for us to see?"

"I haven’t been wasting my time studying him while I’ve been by his side. He’s creating evidence. You don’t need to worry about what kind."

"Really?" Little Su Fei looked doubtful.

Just then, Sun Yifan’s phone rang. The caller ID showed it was from "Boss."

She immediately told Little Su Fei it was Chen Jincheng, then answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

Instantly, Chen Jincheng’s angry voice came through the speaker: "Sun Yifan, do you have nothing better to do all day? Always thinking up crooked schemes. Since you’re so bored, go buy a few nice outfits in the next two days. I’ll shoot another video for you. That should keep you from being idle."

"Boss, I know I was wrong." Sun Yifan apologized with a huge smile, not looking the least bit remorseful.

After the call ended, Little Su Fei’s face fell again. "See? He wasn’t done scolding you in the text, so he called to scold you more. It’s not like you said at all."

"Then why did he say he’s going to shoot a video for me?" Sun Yifan retorted, tapping her friend between the eyebrows. "You’re usually so smart. How can you be so dense about this?"

"Ah..." Little Su Fei’s eyes instantly lit up.

’So that’s how it is.’

’But was it really necessary to be so roundabout?’

’He’s clearly very pleased, so why couldn’t he just say so? Why turn it into a riddle? Is he filming a palace drama or something?’

Still, she suddenly felt happy.

’As long as he likes it.’

’He’s so handsome, so talented...’

’I have to get him to write a song for me.’

’But will he actually write one for me?’

...

After viciously chewing out Sun Yifan, Chen Jincheng was a little worried the girl wouldn’t be able to take it, so he decided to shoot a video for her as compensation.

’It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.’

However, being a cautious person, he pulled up Sun Yifan’s employee information:

Name: Sun Yifan.

Loyalty: 85

Status: No matter what, I’ve already latched onto a patron. Once I successfully offer up Little Su Fei, this connection will be completely secure. Then it’s 1+1+1, (#^.^#)!

Seeing a Loyalty of 85 put Chen Jincheng’s mind at ease.

’I didn’t expect this girl’s loyalty to be so high.’

’It’s probably because I shot that video for her. That video will easily get her a million followers.’

’For an ordinary person, this kind of boost is comparable to having one’s life saved, right?’

’So, in the end, loyalty is still best secured through benefits.’

’Why is it so hard for the average worker to even reach 60 Loyalty? Because their wages are low. They’re forced to work for that pittance just to survive, no matter how tired or frustrated they get.’

’They’re probably cursing out their boss while they work, so their Loyalty might even be 0.’

’But try giving a worker a 50% raise, and their Loyalty will definitely shoot up for a while.’

This also reassured him.

’A Loyalty of 85 means she definitely won’t cause trouble. She’s a good girl.’

But it was her "Status" that made him laugh.

’This girl is really trying to become a pimp.’

’Any boss would appreciate a girl like this, right?’

’But what the hell is that 1+1+1?’

’A new internet meme?’

’And it even has a (#^.^#)! That emoticon makes it look suspicious at a glance.’

But when he searched for "1+1+1" online, the result that popped up was "=3".

He knew it equaled 3; that wasn’t what he was looking for.

Sighing, Chen Jincheng then called Sister Hong to discuss the matter of the LeTV Film and Television division.

The acquisition itself was being negotiated by President Lei, but once the talks were over, Second-Life Star would be responsible for the handover.

It was already dark by the time he went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.

Thanks to the arrangements made by the Rice Group, the hotel provided gourmet meals every day that were in no way inferior to outside restaurants.
