Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

At that thought, he looked at the two quiet girls and asked, "The company handed out Sodas today. Have you filmed the videos for them yet?"

Zhu Ling explained, "I haven’t filmed mine yet. I was here at the villa making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so I didn’t go get the Soda. I had my sister pick it up for me."

Lin Leqing grabbed a bag from the sofa and, to his surprise, pulled out four bottles of Soda. "I wanted to bring them to the villa so you could help me film."

"Mm," Chen Jincheng nodded. He looked at the two girls and said, "You’ll probably be seeing each other often here at the villa. You two should film it together. And next time you meet, don’t be so quiet."

At his words, both girls nodded obediently.

Lin Leqing, however, couldn’t resist asking, "So... will there be others in the future?"

Hearing this, Chen Jincheng retorted testily, "Do you think just anyone can come to my villa? So far, I’ve only ever brought the two of you back here."

After all, it had been the first time for both of them.

In any case, having taken two virgins, he felt differently about them compared to the other girls.

His words, however, made the two girls light up with secret delight.

Chen Jincheng had the two girls link arms and film a video together. As expected, their awkwardness subsided, and they seemed to accept the special relationship they now shared.

In truth, it was also because they knew exactly what kind of man their boss and so-called "senior brother" was.

And they had both been willing participants.

’Besides, deep down, they’d known all along there would be others who were just as willing—girls who would even throw themselves at him.’

’In any case, at least they were special. After all, they were the only two who could come to this villa!’

With that thought, they came to terms with it.

After they finished filming and the girls had uploaded the video, Chen Jincheng asked, "I’m going to the bar tonight to check on the offline sales for the Soda. Do you want to come?"

Hearing this, Lin Leqing’s face immediately lit up with anticipation.

Zhu Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I have to go to my stall at Radiant Square for a bit. My sister is covering my shift right now. After I get off work, I need to go home and be with my grandma. Her arthritis has been acting up recently."

"Okay, I’ll take you over to Radiant Square in a bit then," Chen Jincheng nodded.

This made Lin Leqing, who was standing to the side, smile to herself.

’That means he would be all hers tonight.’

After they finished the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Zhu Ling went upstairs and came back down wearing a pair of jeans under her sweater.

After all, she’d been wearing nothing under the sweater earlier, which was purely for her boss’s convenience. She certainly couldn’t go out dressed like that.

Seeing it was about time, Chen Jincheng drove Zhu Ling out. He first went to Radiant Square to drop her off, then headed to Extreme Bar’s second location with Lin Leqing.

This was the bar Ah Pao had taken over from Crying Bud’s family.

He had originally wanted to sign Crying Bud, but when her brother saw how he’d made Jiang Xiaobai, Yinyin, and the others famous and turned the bar into a massive success, he decided he wanted to try and promote Crying Bud himself.

Crying Bud had also rejected his offer. The result was predictable: she never became famous, and the bar went out of business.

In this world, she had missed the opportunity he’d offered. It was clear she no longer had a chance to become an influencer; after all, the photographer who had made her a viral sensation in his past life didn’t exist in this one.

Two different worlds. Perhaps just for the lack of a little luck or a single opportunity, someone who was a huge star in a past life might remain an ordinary person in this one.

But that had nothing to do with him anymore.

After all, with Second-Life Star’s current power, many of its influencers already had more fans than Crying Bud did in his previous life. Adding her to the roster wouldn’t have made much of a difference.

After parking the car, he called Lin Hao and told him where he was.

"Lao Cheng, hang on, I’m right nearby," Lin Hao said before hanging up.

A moment later, Lin Hao’s car pulled up. But when he got out, he was alone.

"Did the sun rise in the west tonight?" Chen Jincheng asked, looking at him in astonishment. This guy usually showed up with two girls in tow.

A playboy like him going to a bar without any girls? Wasn’t that a first?

Lin Hao caught his meaning. He shot a pointed glance at Lin Leqing before saying awkwardly, "Lao Cheng, do you really never need a break? You’ve never felt... unwell?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his lower back.

Chen Jincheng laughed teasingly. "Lin Hao, I told you not to be so unrestrained. You can’t keep up anymore, can you?"

"Holy shit, Lao Cheng, I could sue you for slander for that!" Lin Hao reacted as if his tail had been stepped on. "Since when can’t I keep up? The doctor just prescribed some medication and told me to take it easy and rest for a while."

Lin Leqing now understood what the two of them were talking about, and she subconsciously thought of Chen Jincheng.

’He’s not very restrained either.’

’He’d just finished with Zhu Ling today, and then in the blink of an eye, he’d gone two rounds with her.’

’In the first few days after she’d first given herself to him, he’d wanted it several times a day, every day.’

’This made her a little worried. What if he ended up like this Ah Hao and couldn’t perform anymore?’

Chen Jincheng, oblivious to the girl’s thoughts, took three masks out of the car. He handed one each to Lin Hao and Lin Leqing, and then the three of them entered Extreme Bar’s second location.

The bar was already quite busy.

As they walked in, they saw a three-tiered display of 37.2°C Soda arranged in the center of the stage. It looked incredibly stylish and brilliant under the bar’s neon lights—a truly eye-catching sight.

Ah Pao was already waiting for them. He personally led the three to a booth, much to the surprise of the bar staff. After all, they all knew Brother Pao’s status; for him to personally greet someone was a rare sight.

Then, a few of them looked at the masked Chen Jincheng, and a sudden realization seemed to dawn, their faces etched with disbelief.
