Chapter 375 - 220: Why Is This Guy Here?
「Meanwhile.」
「Jinbi District.」
Wang Qiqi had changed into a long dress and was holding Chen Jincheng’s arm intimately. "Boss, are you always this... unrestrained? Won’t it hurt your body?"
’The way we went at it last night, and then again first thing in the morning... He’s simply inhuman.’
Chen Jincheng immediately shot back, "Look at me. I’m in great shape. Could it be that I don’t normally do this at all? That’s why, on the rare occasion I do, I can’t seem to get enough."
Wang Qiqi replied subconsciously, "Boss, if you weren’t so skilled, I might have actually believed you."
"Thanks for the reminder. I’ll be more careful next time," Chen Jincheng said with a wide smile.
Wang Qiqi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
Just then, Chen Jincheng received a call. It was from Wei Weiwei of the Coastal City Publicity Association.
He answered, and a pleasant voice came through the line. "Mr. Chen, sorry to bother you again. Our association’s Vice President Fu would like to meet with you tomorrow. I was wondering if you might be available."
"Of course, that’s no problem." Chen Jincheng naturally accepted the invitation.
Before launching his live-stream e-commerce, he wanted to follow Three Sheep’s path by connecting with the Coastal City officials and getting their support and backing.
The Little Sweet Heat Card had already created this opportunity for him. Now that a formal meeting was on the table, how could he possibly refuse?
Although it was just a vice president of a publicity association, at a critical moment, that person could be a stepping stone.
"Great. See you tomorrow, then." Wei Weiwei was clearly happy to get his confirmation; she had completed the task her superior had given her.
Chen Jincheng hung up the phone and took Wang Qiqi to the company. As soon as they arrived, he saw another group of unfamiliar young women holding contracts, waiting for a signature.
’They must be Sister Hong’s new recruits,’ he thought.
Right now, Second-Life Star’s goal was to recruit 300 artists, cultivate a large pool of streamers, and make a push for the 3-star Guild rank.
Therefore, they would recruit anyone who met their decent standards.
When Chen Jincheng entered with Wang Qiqi, they naturally drew the attention of the new girls. After all, Wang Qiqi’s video had received over 5.6 million likes that day, overshadowing even a huge star like Master Yu.
But they weren’t surprised.
Everyone knew that at Second-Life Star, becoming a "Miss Cheng" was equivalent to skyrocketing to fame.
Chen Jincheng sat down in his office, took out his phone, and was surprised to find over ten thousand new comments in his Tiao Yin backend.
He hadn’t posted a video, so it was obviously strange to suddenly get so many comments.
He opened it, and his cheek twitched.
’What the hell? Has my Tiao Yin account been swarmed?’
They were all telling him to ’speak with original work.’ He had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
’These people must be Master Yu’s fans.’
’What the hell is wrong with these fandoms? They swarm this person, swarm that person at the drop of a hat.’
’In comparison, an influencer’s fans are much better. At least they don’t do such brain-dead things.’
"Interesting," Chen Jincheng muttered to himself. ’They probably don’t know I’m scheduled to release "Little Dimples" today.’
Just then, Sister Hong walked in and reported, "Boss, have you seen the news? Tiao Yin found out Master Yu was faking his numbers. He’s claiming he was framed and even called you out, telling you to speak with original work. He’s obviously implying you set him up."
Chen Jincheng had already guessed as much. He took out his phone, searched online, and saw the news reports.
This made him unable to resist saying, "Sister Hong, wouldn’t you say this guy is a real saint? Delivering all this heat to my doorstep."
"A real saint, indeed," Sister Hong agreed.
The boss had an SS-Class promotional boost from Tiao Yin for his stream today. If he could ride this new wave of heat, the evening’s live stream would be even more effective. When he ’raided’ the company’s other artists’ streams later, the traffic diversion would be that much better.
Chen Jincheng laughed, raised his phone to film a selfie video, and said to the camera, "Alright. You want me to speak with original work? Fine. I happen to be live-streaming the release of a new original song tonight. I’m just afraid it’ll be another level you can only look up to."
After recording, he immediately uploaded the video to his Tiao Yin account.
Sister Hong hadn’t expected her boss to clap back so directly and aggressively.
But considering the quality of "Little Dimples," Master Yu was just asking for a beatdown.
As expected, the guy was about to be humiliated all over again.
Master Yu’s words to the reporters had already generated a huge amount of buzz. Many people were following the situation, curious to see how Chen Jincheng would respond.
Combined with the fact that Chen Jincheng’s own fanbase was constantly growing—now approaching 18 million—and his followers were highly engaged, it wasn’t long after he posted the video that it started trending.
Those who had been curious about his response were all surprised.
He was releasing a new original song today?
What a coincidence, right?
But that line, "I’m just afraid it’ll be another level you can only look up to"—wasn’t that a bit arrogant?
Master Yu might be famous for being infamous and was full of himself, but he was still a capable and well-known singer. To make him "look up" to a new song, it would need to have sales on the level of "Can’t Help Falling in Love," at the very least, right?
But a song of that caliber wasn’t something you could just casually release. It was award-winning material. Producing even one such song a year was something to be proud of.
If he could really release another song of that level, then seriously, even if he was just an influencer, all the professional singers would have to bow down.
That would be a completely different situation.
As time went on, Chen Jincheng’s video became more and more popular, eventually landing on the hot topics list. Naturally, this drew increasing attention to his new song, and many people would surely be drawn to his live stream that evening.
