Chapter 718 - 360: Master Lei
Cai Xiaoyi knew, of course, that her boss’s top fan was incredibly wealthy. More importantly, she was a huge sensation.
She hadn’t even posted a single video before, yet she already had nearly 4 million followers.
This was a point of envy for her and many other artists at Second-Life Star. She wasn’t an influencer, but for some reason, her popularity was off the charts.
So, with Sister Hehe now coming to hang out and send her gifts, she stood to gain a massive amount of exposure.
When she saw Sister Hehe request to co-stream, she immediately accepted.
The connection was successful, and she saw Sister Hehe appear on screen wearing a sexy nightgown.
The fabric of her nightgown was a bit thin, looking somewhat transparent under the light.
Sister Hehe, however, didn’t seem to care in the slightest. As soon as they connected, she greeted Cai Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, you have such a beautiful smile."
Cai Xiaoyi quickly replied, "Sister Hehe, you’re very beautiful too. I’m honestly a little surprised you came to give me gifts."
She wasn’t the only one surprised. Many of Chen Jincheng’s die-hard fans in the stream were also taken aback and started stirring things up in the chat:
"Has Sister Hehe given up on Chen Jincheng? Look over here!"
"Rich lady, look at me!"
"Rich lady, look at me!"
"..."
Sister Hehe wasn’t paying any attention to the stream’s chat today. She spoke directly to Cai Xiaoyi, "I’m staying in a hotel all by myself. Chen Jincheng is blowing me off, so I was hoping to find someone to keep me company. Of all the streamers working for Chen Jincheng, I like your smile the best. I was wondering if you could come to my hotel and hang out with me for a bit."
How could Cai Xiaoyi refuse? She hurriedly said, "Of course! I’m live right now, but I can keep streaming on my way to meet you. Sister Hehe, just send me the hotel address in a private message."
She had to go. After all, Sister Hehe had sent her so many gifts.
Besides, this was great content for the stream.
With that, she picked up her phone and headed out, not forgetting to address her audience. "You all saw it! My top gifter has invited me over, so I’m heading to the hotel now. The signal might get a little weak once I’m outside the office, so please forgive me if the stream starts to lag."
Cai Xiaoyi was streaming from her company’s office. She felt setting up a dedicated streaming room at home was too much of a hassle.
She left Second-Life Star as quickly as she could to meet up with her top fan.
After checking the hotel address in her private messages, she put in the location, hailed a ride, and soon arrived at the hotel.
"I’m at the hotel! I’m about to have my ’date’ with Sister Hehe. I’m a little nervous," Cai Xiaoyi said to her viewers, flashing a sweet smile.
The audience was also very excited to see what kind of content the two of them would create.
Besides, many viewers who had seen Chen Jincheng’s streams knew that Sister Hehe was a very entertaining rich woman.
Finally, Cai Xiaoyi reached Sister Hehe’s hotel room and knocked. A moment later, the door swung open, and Sister Hehe appeared in the doorway.
Before Cai Xiaoyi could react, Sister Hehe wrapped an arm around her waist, acting all intimate. ’The gesture,’ she thought, ’is a little like when the boss holds me.’
"Xiaoyi, you’re just gorgeous. That smile of yours is so sweet, it makes me want to give you a kiss." Sister Hehe reached out, tilting up Cai Xiaoyi’s chin and teasing her like a total creep.
Cai Xiaoyi was clearly taken aback and suddenly flustered. "Sister Hehe, stop joking around! You’re scaring me!"
’She’s really acting like an old pervert,’ she thought, deliberately putting on the act of a frightened little bunny.
They were live on stream, after all. She didn’t believe Sister Hehe would actually try anything.
Besides, Sister Hehe was a woman. If she tried to get handsy, it wasn’t like she couldn’t fight back. ’We’ll see who’s the real pervert then.’
Sister Hehe was a wild one to begin with. Seeing Cai Xiaoyi’s act, she said menacingly, "Xiaoyi, I lured a little bunny like you over here because I want to eat you all up. Now, where are you going to run?"
Cai Xiaoyi could feel Sister Hehe’s hand land on her butt.
’Is she serious?’
Was a divorced woman like her supposed to be afraid of this? Instead, she wrapped her arms around Sister Hehe, her frightened expression melting into a mischievous grin. "Sister Hehe, if you want to ’eat me up,’ we can’t do it out here in the hall, can we?"
The exchange between the two left the viewers completely dumbfounded.
𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The sudden plot twist felt... off.
’Wait, what are these two women doing?’
"Whoa, the atmosphere is getting... interesting."
"Of course. Wherever Sister Hehe goes, things get lively."
"Am I even allowed to watch this? Please, just show us everything!"
"Show us everything!"
"Show us everything!"
"..."
The chat was flooded with the same comment.
It seemed everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next. They could all see Sister Hehe’s hand reaching for Cai Xiaoyi’s chest.
Holy shit!
This is getting out of hand. I can’t wait.
But in the next instant, everyone discovered that Cai Xiaoyi’s stream had gone black.
’Did she get banned?’
Cai Xiaoyi was dumbfounded too. She said, aggrieved, "Sister Hehe, look! My stream got a warning and was banned for half an hour."
Sister Hehe said teasingly, "So what if it’s banned? I have a surprise for you. I guarantee you won’t care about being banned for thirty minutes."
"What kind of surprise?" Cai Xiaoyi’s interest was piqued.
"Let’s keep it a mystery for now. Let me cover your eyes." As she spoke, Sister Hehe covered Cai Xiaoyi’s eyes and guided her into the room. There, sitting on a chair, was Chen Jincheng, fresh from the bathroom and wrapped in a towel.
He watched Sister Hehe’s mischievous antics and couldn’t help but shake his head. ’This rich girl really loves to play games.’
Cai Xiaoyi, completely oblivious, was led further into the room by Sister Hehe. Soon, she was standing right in front of Chen Jincheng.
"Now, sit down," Sister Hehe whispered playfully in Cai Xiaoyi’s ear.
Not suspecting a thing, Cai Xiaoyi sat down. And then, she froze.
’Something’s not right.’
’I think... I sat on someone’s lap.’
And something... hard.
"..." Cai Xiaoyi’s mind went blank.
’It’s huge!’
"AH!" Cai Xiaoyi finally shrieked, breaking free from Sister Hehe’s grasp. She glared at her. "What is this? Why is there a man here? What kind of person do you think I am? Do you want me to call the police?"
Facing Cai Xiaoyi, who was like an angry lioness, Sister Hehe said playfully, "Xiaoyiyi, why don’t you take a look at who the man is?"
’Xiaoyiyi?’
Cai Xiaoyi was speechless. She instinctively glanced over and saw Chen Jincheng. In that instant, her face was a mask of pure shock. "You... You two... Boss..."
"Xiaoyiyi, you can call the police now. Tell them I tricked you into sitting on your boss’s lap," Sister Hehe said playfully.
"Ah! I never said I was calling the police!" Cai Xiaoyi said hastily.
"You did," Chen Jincheng said, a teasing tone in his voice.
Cai Xiaoyi was suddenly mortified. She immediately moved to sit properly on Chen Jincheng’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I didn’t know it was you, Boss."
Then, she said with a pout, "Boss, are you and Sister Hehe together now? I’ve chased you so many times, but you never agreed to be my boyfriend."
Chen Jincheng teased, "Xiaoyi, do you think sleeping with me a few times is all it takes to lock me down? You sleeping with me a few times won’t work, and Sister Hehe sleeping with me a few times won’t work for her either."
Cai Xiaoyi said quickly, "But Boss, I don’t mind if you have other girlfriends! Isn’t that good enough?"
Chen Jincheng smiled. "Sister Hehe said the same thing. But I’m a perfect gentleman, so of course, I remain unmoved."
"Hmph!" Seeing that her boss was still completely unswayed, Cai Xiaoyi pouted and asked, "Then why did you ask me to come here, Boss?"
As she spoke, she deliberately wriggled her hips. She had realized exactly what she was sitting on...
"I called you over to play ’Fight the Landlord,’ of course. Can’t you see we’re short one player? What else did you think it was for?" With a playful expression, Chen Jincheng scooped up Cai Xiaoyi and carried her further into the room.
"Boss, we’re not actually playing Fight the Landlord?" Cai Xiaoyi exclaimed.
She had played Fight the Landlord before. It was a card game, and she’d even spent a lot of money on in-game currency for it.
"Oh, we’re definitely ’fighting the landlord’!" Sister Hehe chimed in, following them with a mischievous look on her face.
... (1500 words omitted) ...
「The next day.」
Chen Jincheng arrived at Second-Life Star alone.
Cai Xiaoyi and Sister Hehe stayed behind at the hotel. Now that Sister Hehe had someone else to share the... burden, she was having even more fun than Chen Jincheng. Even a worldly divorced woman like Cai Xiaoyi was left feeling embarrassed by her antics.
However, the incident where Sister Hehe gifted Cai Xiaoyi, deliberately acted outrageously, and got her stream banned still generated quite a bit of buzz.
After all, 200 Carnivals was a huge amount, so Tiao Yin was bound to give the event some exposure.
So, Sister Hehe helped Cai Xiaoyi film some sexy and alluring videos at the hotel—clips of the two of them with disheveled clothes or acting ambiguously with each other.
It was all designed to get people’s imaginations running wild. If released, the videos were guaranteed to attract a ton of likes.
In that respect, Sister Hehe was very good to her ’sisters’ and was more than happy to cooperate with Cai Xiaoyi.
When Chen Jincheng arrived at the company, Sister Hong rushed over with a joyful expression to report. "Boss, your Hanfu video sales campaign officially broke one billion this morning! First thing today, Tiao Yin put up a banner announcing that the Hanfu sales campaign you orchestrated has surpassed five billion in total sales, breaking the record once again."
"Let them. They’re just building up my prestige," Chen Jincheng said, unfazed. He then instructed Sister Hong, "Also, keep a close eye on Kuaishou. If I’m not mistaken, they should be starting their next round of financing soon."
This was the first step of the Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon plan. The more Tiao Yin built up his reputation, the more advantageous it would be later on.
"Got it." Sister Hong nodded, then added, "President Lei came by early this morning. He’s over in the gaming department. They were giving a report on the launch of *I’m Screwed! Surrounded by Beauties,* and since President Lei was there, it caught his attention."
"Let’s go have a look." Chen Jincheng smiled and headed toward the gaming department.
Since *I’m Screwed! Surrounded by Beauties* was ready for launch, they might as well release it now while President Lei was at Second-Life Star.
Other gaming companies might need a long promotional lead time, but Second-Life Star didn’t need one at all.
The game had already generated a massive amount of hype before. This time, all they had to do was launch it with a bit of promotion, and that initial excitement would come flooding back.
Seeing Chen Jincheng enter, Lei Xiaojun smiled at him. "President Chen, I was just about to talk to you."
"President Lei, please, go ahead," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
Lei Xiaojun explained, "I’m planning to come join the fun for the next Hanfu event day and shoot a video. I was wondering if you could help me get a set of Hanfu? I don’t think your swordsman outfit or the King Zhou’s Robe would really suit me."
Chen Jincheng hadn’t expected this to be what President Lei wanted to discuss.
It was a minor thing, really.
He thought for a moment. "President Lei, how about we get you a set of Landlord’s Attire? Then you can just film a quick video anywhere in Jinglan City. The moment people see you as Master Lei, you’ll generate a ton of buzz without having to do anything else."
"You could even use the line, ’I, Lei Laohu, have always persuaded people with virtue.’"
