After I spoke with Jiajun about borrowing the stage for the dance audition, soon I received the consent from the owner of SOS Bar...
I mean, there was just no way they could refuse!
Firstly, just giving Gu Heng some face was a huge benefit already, and not to mention, these social media influencers dancing could bring excellent publicity to the bar...
Although these social media influencers aren’t of big calibre in Gu Heng’s circle, they still are authentic grassroots stars with extremely high traffic. All combined, excluding overlapping fans, their reach would easily exceed 50 million.
So many influencers, if we were to invite them to promote, the expenses would definitely not be less than a seven-figure sum.
Back when SOS was flourishing, forget social media influencers, they’d invite the top 100 global DJs several times a year; now that they are down on their luck, such expenditures had been cut long ago, and now getting it for free, there was just no way to refuse...
Especially when the shareholders of SOS Bar heard that Gu Heng also gave the bar’s patrons a chance to participate by voting, and the one with the highest votes would get a cash prize of a million, they couldn’t help but exclaim that rich people really knew how to have fun...
They were rich too, and usually played games with some minor social media influencers.
But they had never gone as far as Gu Heng, a million, that’s...
To put it crudely, with a million bucks, you could fix up quite a few good-looking college students for a whole year at an ordinary university.
And Gu Heng? Just for a moment of fun, he could splurge a million...
Ridiculous, even among the wealthy there’s still a gap, owning such a big bar, the SOS boss was already considered very rich by ordinary people’s standards, but compared to Gu Heng, they were nothing...
And as the discussion ended, the DJ stood up on stage, and the music halted.
The bar patrons, confused, put down their drinks and looked puzzled towards the stage.
"Sorry to interrupt your drinking mood, everyone, but I’ve got something to announce; tonight SOS Bar is hosting a special event."
???
???
A special event?
Almost everyone looked utterly baffled...
The DJ didn’t keep them in suspense, he immediately announced, "Thanks to the generous support of Mr. Gu from the presidential booth, tonight we’ll be holding a dance audition feast! The contestants are famous social media influencers from Hang City!
In the next segment, these beautiful influencers will take the stage to perform dances, showcasing their most graceful poses for everyone.

And if the influencer you voted for wins, SOS Bar will also give you a participation reward! The reward is two cases of Budweiser beer and a bottle of Jagermeister!"
As the host’s words settled, murmurs arose.
The discussion wasn’t about the influencers dancing, but about that million-dollar prize...
The patrons in the bar were nearly twisted with envy...
These people, working themselves to death, might not even earn a million in several years, and here was Gu Heng, for whom a million was just a part of his leisurely play...
But such envy was just momentary, the gap was too big, being ordinary folks, they couldn’t even keep that envious thought for long...
Moreover, Gu Heng was quite decent...
Rich folks playing games with female influencers usually hid away in mansions, hotels. Gu Heng didn’t, despite the million solely coming from him, he shared the joy, giving everyone a sense of participation...
Generous rich people like this were rare nowadays...
At this thought, a stirring of cheers and screams erupted...
...
And those influencers who had opted to join this so-called "audition" were now feeling a bit anxious...
At first, they thought Gu Heng was just playing around privately and wouldn’t disclose the matter of the million-dollar prize, but now it had become common knowledge...
Although it was still limited spread within the bar, they were influencers with millions of followers, and once someone uploaded their videos to Douyin, many more would find out...
They could even guess the comments that would appear under their Douyin account in a couple of days...
Either "Did earning that million feel good?"
"Did you suffer a lot for that million?"
"Can you introduce me to a way to earn that million too?"
Despite their low bottom line, including a few who were still dealing with parachute businesses, those were all operated secretly; how could they let it out in the open? In their hearts, they felt themselves to be reputable characters; if their reputation was ruined, how would they continue to scam those husband and simp fans’ money?
In a moment, everyone began to waver...
Gu Heng noticed their expressions and guessed what was in their hearts. With a cross of his legs, he put down the champagne he had sipped from and said with a smile, "There’s still a chance now, whoever doesn’t want to participate can tell me, I won’t force you.
No matter how many of you are left willing to participate after this, even if there’s only one person left, the million-dollar prize will still stand, the only difference is that the last person left wouldn’t need to compete anymore and would directly receive the million."
