Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 469: Chapter 256: Becoming the Face of Video Sales

Riding this wave of hype, Lin Hongxiao had indeed blown up by commenting on Chen Jincheng.

And most people agreed with his analysis.

Chen Jincheng, on the other hand, had become a source of entertainment for the entire internet.

So, Lin Hongxiao’s new video once again captured everyone’s attention.

His declaration that he would quit the internet if Chen Jincheng’s investment didn’t lose money particularly showcased his confidence.

Just then, people following the matter discovered that Chen Jincheng had appeared in the video’s comment section again: "Saved. Hope you keep your word."

This comment once again prompted a flood of replies from netizens:

"Chen Jincheng, seriously, you can’t invest in the beer industry."

"Don’t be a sucker. I just got out of the beer industry myself. There’s no opportunity there!"

"Chen Jincheng, Teacher Lin is just trying to help you."

"..."

Lin Hongxiao saw Chen Jincheng’s comment immediately, along with all the replies from people defending him.

"Heh," Lin Hongxiao said to his assistant with a sigh, unable to stop himself from shaking his head. ’He’s determined to be stubborn to the very end. It’s a classic case of "everyone is drunk but me." Well, time will tell.’

He felt like he was trying to reason with someone hell-bent on their own destruction.

Meanwhile, Master Yu also noticed the trending news, and it instantly lifted his gloomy mood. "Haha, this is hilarious! Chen Jincheng is actually investing in beer? He’s guaranteed to lose it all."

He was absolutely certain of this because he was a rich second-generation heir—the kind whose family was ridiculously wealthy.

So when it came to business, he knew what he was talking about.

An internet celebrity who knew nothing about the industry trying to break into it with 300 million? The outcome was obvious.

With that thought, he reposted Lin Hongxiao’s analysis, cathartically using a few smiling emojis as the title.

His assistant immediately spoke up. "Boss, didn’t you say you were going to steer clear of Chen Jincheng? What if he actually pulls something off with this 300 million investment?"

Master Yu laughed. "I can’t be sure about other things, but with this 300 million investment, I’m certain he’s just throwing his money away."

...

Chen Jincheng, of course, saw the comments on Lin Hongxiao’s video as well.

But a smile spread across his face. ’The seeds of hype have been sown. This will be a massive boost for my Soda later on.’

’These people have no idea what kind of drink I’m actually making, yet they’re all acting so self-assured.’

’That’s just how the internet is. People who know nothing love to act like experts.’

Chen Jincheng put down his phone, only to find the young, divorced Malay woman taking the opportunity to sit on his lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she gazed at him with glistening, expectant eyes.

Since she was only wearing a bath towel, the scene was rather tempting.

Chen Jincheng reminded her solemnly, "Don’t look at me like that. I told you, I’m not a casual person. If I ended up with a new girlfriend every time a woman slept with me, wouldn’t I have a ton of them by now?"

Cai Xiaoyi’s eyes widened. "Mr. Chen, have a lot of people slept with you?"

"???" Chen Jincheng was momentarily stunned by the question.

’Why is this young, divorced Malay woman’s line of questioning so pointed?’

Cai Xiaoyi said thoughtfully, "Well, Mr. Chen, you’re so handsome and have such a great body, I guess it’s not surprising."

Chen Jincheng snorted. "What are you talking about? You’re the only one who’s ever slept with me! I was a virgin before that!"

"???" Cai Xiaoyi stared at him as if she’d seen a ghost. "Mr. Chen, how can you say that with a straight face? You’re clearly so experienced in... that. Are you trying to fool me, thinking I’m some naive girl?"

Though his bluff was called, Chen Jincheng maintained a serious expression. "You’re so innocent and beautiful that in my eyes, you are a naive young girl."

"Ah..." Cai Xiaoyi’s face instantly flushed with shyness.

For her, as a divorcée, that compliment hit her especially hard.

She even began to wonder if Mr. Chen had her completely figured out.

Still, she didn’t forget to ask for a favor. "Mr. Chen, people online say you filmed two viral videos for that Miss Cheng. Could you film some for me, too?"

"Get dressed first," Chen Jincheng said, not refusing her request.

’After all, I still have an Internet Celebrity Debut Card, so there’s no reason not to use it on her.’

The key thing was, in the video of him that his employee had filmed, Cai Xiaoyi was sitting right next to him. When news media accounts reposted that video, many people noticed her. They started asking if she had joined Second-Life Star or speculating that she was now his woman.

She had managed to gain some popularity from it.

So, this was the perfect time to make a video for her.

As Cai Xiaoyi happily began to get dressed, Chen Jincheng was already filming the young Malay divorcée with his phone.

’In the other world, when she got famous as an internet celebrity back in ’19, her two viral videos were the hand-gesture dance to "Down the Mountain" in a red dress, and that captivating smile.’

’Even though the video wasn’t posted on her own account, she was the star. The Internet Celebrity Debut Card would work without a problem.’

Right now, Cai Xiaoyi was genuinely happy, so her smile was natural and captivating.

The only issue was that as he was filming, she was still getting dressed, so some parts were a bit risqué.

Crucially, she had just come out of the bathroom, and her hair was still wet, adding another layer of allure.

So, he would have to edit out the risqué parts.

He would just edit it to the point where she was already in her bodycon skirt, zipping it up.

The shot of her zipping up the skirt would be suggestive enough to get people’s imaginations running.

’This will definitely be more captivating than the simple smiling video from the other world. With the effect of the Heat Card and all the current online hype, it’ll get even more likes.’

"Mr. Chen, I’m dressed! You can film me now!" Cai Xiaoyi said, running up to him with a beaming smile.

"I already did," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
