Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

「The next day.」

The sun was high in the sky.

Early in the morning, Sister Hehe's shriek echoed from the hotel room, "AHH, Chen Jincheng, you're an animal..."

It was followed by a volley of heart-wrenching cries and pleas for help.

When the sounds finally died down, all was quiet.

Sister Hehe rested for a long while before she had the strength to complain weakly, "Chen Jincheng, you bastard. I told you to fuck me to death, not actually kill me..."

As she spoke, she bit down hard on Chen Jincheng's shoulder. "You'd be happy if I just kicked the bucket, wouldn't you? Should I write a will? When I'm gone, you can inherit all the money on my card."

"I couldn't care less about your pocket change," Chen Jincheng said, his face full of amusement.

His words provoked Sister Hehe. "Oh, is that how you talk to your number one supporter now, Chen Jincheng? Be careful, or I'll report you!"

"Go ahead!" Chen Jincheng waggled his phone playfully. "Last night, when you were begging and crying for mercy, I thought it was fun, so I filmed it. You wouldn't want netizens to see that, would you?"

"Chen Jincheng, you bastard!" Sister Hehe couldn't help but curse again, saying viciously, "No, this won't do. I have to find someone to keep me company for the next couple of days. Chen Jincheng, which Miss Cheng do you want to pick lately? I'll get her over here tonight."

Chen Jincheng paused for a moment, then said with a straight face, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I'm not that kind of person."

Sister Hehe was speechless. "Who cares what kind of person you are? I'm trying to save my own skin here! You're an animal, not a human."

"Cai Xiaoyi, then!" Chen Jincheng said with a grin.

"Got it. I'll arrange it." Sister Hehe rolled her eyes at him. She knew he was just putting on an act.

After they both washed up and came out, Sister Hehe launched a sneak attack with a question. "Chen Jincheng, look how open-minded and tolerant I am with you. Where else could you find a girlfriend like me?"

"Well, uh, I'm allergic to being in a relationship with the opposite sex, you know that." Chen Jincheng immediately changed the subject, then picked up his phone and started playing with it.

"Get lost!" Sister Hehe was practically gritting her teeth. Huffy, she also grabbed her phone and sat on the sofa to browse.

'That guy Chen Jincheng was such a scumbag, completely impervious.'

Opening Tiao Yin, she checked the stats on the Hanfu video she had filmed. To her surprise, overnight, her video had surpassed a million likes.

'Didn't people say making videos was hard? That getting 100,000 likes on a video was already incredible?'

'Her very first video had already hit a million likes, and the numbers were still climbing.'

The video also had a ton of comments:

"Whoa, the number one supporter is actually making videos now."

"The number one supporter is selling merch, gotta support!"

"Haha, selling merch to earn money to keep being the number one supporter. For a title like that, I'd buy it even if I had to wear women's clothes."

"666, Cheng must be moved to tears. His number one supporter is even performing now just to earn money to tip him."

"..."

'Why do they all sound like Chen Jincheng's fans?'

'Besides, for Chen Jincheng's sake, she'd done more than just put on a show.'

Next, she checked her e-commerce sales data: 35,245 items sold.

The total sales volume had reached 53.735 million.

"Chen Jincheng, my video sold over 50 million in merchandise!" Sister Hehe exclaimed in disbelief, jumping up in excitement.

There was a 50% profit margin on each item, which meant she could earn over 25 million from this.

Chen Jincheng smiled. "This is just the beginning. There should be more later. The hype this time was huge, with countless people drawn in by Jinglan City and the Hanfu Outing Day. You won't get another explosive opportunity like this again, unless you wait for next year's Hanfu Outing Day."

Hearing this, Sister Hehe immediately said, "Chen Jincheng, why don't you do a PK raid stream? I'll shower you with so many gifts you won't know what to do. I'll make you unbeatable on Tiao Yin."

"What a twisted hobby. I already told my fans I don't do PK battles anymore." Chen Jincheng shook his head. He knew what a "PK raid" meant.

'If he really wanted to do PK battles, he was confident he could become unbeatable on Tiao Yin even without Sister Hehe's gifts.'

'It was just that he wouldn't go back on his word.'

'PK battles were not his path.'

"Then how about I help you host a beauty pageant?" Sister Hehe immediately suggested, her own twisted hobby surfacing. "You can connect with those female streamers, and if you see one you like, I'll help you shower her with gifts. How about it?"

"Enough of this nonsense!" Chen Jincheng said, exasperated. "Let's go out and get something to eat. I still have to go meet President Lei."

'Hooking up with girls was one thing. If you did it privately and the girl was fine with it, you could play however you wanted.'

'But to fucking do something like that on a live stream? That was just asking for trouble. Did he really think the platform authorities wouldn't crack down on that kind of vulgar content?'

'He'd definitely get a ton of reports from jealous and triggered people.'

'With many things, keeping a low profile was the best way to go.'

"Oh!" Sister Hehe was clearly a little disappointed. 'She really thought it sounded fun.'

Seeing Chen Jincheng head for the door, she immediately followed and linked her arm with his. The only thing was, her gait was a little unnatural, as if silently testifying to the devastation she had endured.

Chen Jincheng noticed her odd way of walking and teased, "Can you walk a little more normally? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were an innocent maiden."

"Chen Jincheng, how dare you say that? Don't you know why?" Sister Hehe glared at him.

Chen Jincheng just smiled. "Who was it that swore up and down they weren't going clubbing, and told me to use my energy where it's supposed to be used?"

'Of course, he knew the reason.'

'Honestly, after he was unable to expend the remaining 100 Constitution Points, he couldn't be as uninhibited as before.'

'After all, that was a real expenditure of energy.'

'But as it happened, Sister Hehe was the sensitive type.'

'Those who know, know. Anyway, with the same ability, the effect was always much more potent when used on her.'

'So, that was that.'

Leaving the hotel, Chen Jincheng drove toward the hotel where President Lei was staying. Sister Hong had already arrived with her people and had arranged the company's reception vehicle—a brand-new Rolls-Royce with a Starlight Headliner.
