Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 472: Chapter 257: Have to Meet the Big Boss First

Chen Jincheng and Sister Hong left the office and headed to the reception room. Sister Feiye, Jiang Xiaobai, Yinyin, and Ximeng, who were participating in the video e-commerce project this time, were all inside.

Sister Feiye had her own team and usually handled her own advertising deals. She only had the Second Generation Star Photography Department assist when it was time to shoot video commercials.

But no matter how many ads she took, the numbers were nowhere near as good as the "young stepmom" style clothing video Chen Jincheng had shot for her.

So, she still hoped Chen Jincheng could help her shoot another video or two. Unfortunately, when she first joined Second-Life Star, her contract specified that he wasn’t obligated to shoot a video for her just because she wanted one.

So, watching the video concepts for those "Cheng Girls" go viral one after another, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious, especially since even Zhang Ao’ai’s and Zhu Ling’s fan counts had now surpassed hers.

She had even considered following the lead of the other Cheng Girls: inviting him to dinner, cozying up to him, and persuading him to shoot a couple more videos for her.

But then she thought about his reputation. Rumors online claimed that he’d slept with all the Cheng Girls as part of an "unspoken agreement."

After all, she had joined Second-Life Star and came to the office regularly. She’d heard some whispers, so she knew the online rumors could very well be true.

So, she couldn’t help but wonder: if she invited him to dinner and tried to build a closer relationship, what if he got the wrong idea? What if he expected something more?

The last time they were in the car together, watching that "instructional" video about a young stepmom and her wicked stepson had nearly made her lose her composure. She’d had to rush off to change her panties the moment she got out of the car.

’Should I really sleep with him for a viral video?’

Just as she was lost in thought, she saw Chen Jincheng and Sister Hong walk in.

"Boss!"

Jiang Xiaobai, Yinyin, and Ximeng crowded around Chen Jincheng the moment they saw him. Knowing that their boss was personally creating the concepts for their e-commerce videos, they were filled with anticipation.

The fact that only four people were chosen for this project gave them an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This was especially true for Jiang Xiaobai, who looked at her boss with unconcealed adoration in her eyes.

"Here are your concepts. Take them and have a look," Chen Jincheng said, handing the plans to the three girls.

As he handed the concept to Jiang Xiaobai, however, she held her phone screen up to him. His eyes lit up at the photo on display.

If he had to say which of the girls pleased him most right now, aside from the duo of Yinyin and Ximeng, it would have to be Jiang Xiaobai.

’This girl really knows how to set up her room.’

’Good. Very good. Excellent.’

He immediately gave her a knowing look, a slight smile playing on his lips.

She was, of course, very happy in return.

Their gazes met in a moment of mutual understanding.

They were on for tonight.

Chen Jincheng had them sit down before handing the last concept proposal to Sister Feiye. "Sister Feiye, this one’s yours."

Sister Feiye took it immediately, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

She had already heard from him about the new shopping cart feature and video e-commerce. She also knew that this would become one of the biggest monetization channels for influencers like her in the future.

So, she had long been anticipating the arrival of this feature.

Likewise, she felt a genuine admiration for her boss, Chen Jincheng. Everything was unfolding exactly as he had analyzed for her, as if Tiao Yin itself was developing precisely according to his predictions.

Or perhaps, he simply had incredible foresight, allowing him to predict Tiao Yin’s next move.

Having been in this industry for a while, she knew how crucial that was, and it was what she respected most about him.

Then, she began to read the concept proposal in her hands.

She had actually thought up a few of her own ideas for the shampoo commercial—she had to at least try, after all. But as she read his concept, her jaw dropped.

It was completely absurd.

Still, she had to admit that even without seeing the video, just reading the concept made her curious about what the male protagonist was holding at the beginning.

Who would have guessed it was a handful of dandruff?

Seriously, this wasn’t an idea a normal person could come up with.

Or perhaps, his mind was just so wildly imaginative that you could never predict what he’d do next.

It was just like the clothing commercial before, where he’d cooked up the whole "young stepmom and wicked stepson" angle and even created the "young stepmom style" tag for her.

Thanks to that tag, her brand recognition on Tiao Yin had indeed soared.

But she had to admit, his concept was far more attention-grabbing than anything she had come up with.

Chen Jincheng turned to Sister Hong. "Sister Hong, what’s the status of the small e-commerce company I asked you to acquire?"

Sister Hong explained, "I’ve scouted and acquired a small e-commerce company over the past few days. The company was actually doing alright, but the owner had an affair. His mistress led him to the casinos, and he ended up having to sell the company to pay off his debts."

Chen Jincheng shook his head. Another gambling degenerate. ’The mistress was clearly part of a pig-butchering scam, a honey trap.’

’So many nouveau riche—especially those who get rich overnight from demolition compensation—are ruined by women like that.’

’Simply put, these people get millions, or even tens of millions, dumped into their bank accounts overnight. It goes straight to their heads. They start flaunting their wealth, terrified someone might not know how rich they are, and that’s when they become targets.’

’On top of that, once they’re rich and indulging in a life of debauchery, they naturally grow dissatisfied with their wives. Then, right on cue, a beautiful girl with a great body appears, acting all sweet and helpless. They can’t resist.’

’Once she "casually" takes them to a casino or a similar venue, the moment the gambling fever takes hold, it’s a one-way ticket to losing everything.’

’When the "pig" is successfully butchered, these girls get a hefty cut.’

’So what’s the big deal about being mounted by a pig for a little while?’

Chen Jincheng asked, "What are the company’s specifics?"

Sister Hong explained, "The company has about thirty-five employees. I’ve already directed them to restructure their focus toward product selection and quality control. The employees are very confident, especially since they know their new boss is the famous influencer, Chen Jincheng. I’ve already rented office space for them downstairs. Once it’s ready, we’ll move them over here to make operations more convenient."
