249: How is Pei Yunxi doing on day 245?
“Luo Peng, where’s Jiang Chen?”
The basketball court in front of the third canteen.
Zheng Jingjing hurried over.
Luo Peng wiped his sweat and turned around.
“How should I know.”
He tossed the ball to soone else.
“You’re his roommate, how do you not know?
Aren’t you guys close?”
“Just because we’re close doesn’t an he has to tell everything, does it?
Why don’t you go ask Li Shuru?”
Zheng Jingjing suddenly had nothing to say.
“Why are you always not taking things seriously?
Has the Angel Investnt Society closed down?”
That’s how won are, when they can’t argue back, they shift the topic.
“Please, it’s the weekend, can’t I have a little break?”
Luo Peng walked to the edge of the court, bent over to pick up a bottle of mineral water, and replenished his fluids.
“What do you need Jiang Chen for?”
“He promised to invest in us, but he’s been missing for days.”
“Investnt?”
Luo Peng looked puzzled.
“Didn’t he tell you about it?”
Luo Peng shook his head.
“We want to start a dance studio, and Jiang Chen promised to invest a million in us.
We’ve already picked out the location; the landlord is asking us to pay the deposit as soon as possible.”
Although it would be more convenient to go directly to Li Shuru, it was still sowhat embarrassing.
“Fine, I got it.
When Jiang Chen cos back, I’ll talk to him.”
Luo Peng gestured for her to go back first.
But Zheng Jingjing stood still, as if she was clinging to him.
“What are you doing?”
“If I can’t see Jiang Chen, I won’t leave!”
Luo Peng paused, then threw away the water bottle and shrugged his shoulders.
“Suit yourself.”
The guy went back to playing basketball.
Zheng Jingjing plopped down on the side of the basketball court.
At this ti.
Jiang Chen had just sent Luo Li’er back to her dorm.
The trip to Shaocheng wasn’t entirely enjoyable, but for him, the gains were substantial.
Relationships between people need to be built up through small, tily actions.
“Let’s rest for a while.”
The street side.
Wei Chuyin stopped, panting, and put the wooden fra she was carrying down, breathing a sigh of relief.
Ai Qian, also carrying a poster column and covered in sweat.
The column was as tall as a person, not very heavy, but still sowhat strenuous for delicate girls.
From the words on the poster column, it was evident that the annual New Year’s Day was approaching.
New Year’s Day is one of the most important traditional festivals in Shenzhou, and colleges hold grand celebrations, with Dongda being no exception.
“Should we ask soone to help?”
Wei Chuyin was struggling to keep up.
“No worries, we’re almost there.”
“We still have a long way to go.”
They needed to get these items to the auditorium, but the auditorium was behind the male dorms, at least a kiloter or two away.
“Think of it as exercise, haven’t you been nagging about losing weight?” Ai Qian wiped the sweat from her forehead.
“You say you want to torture yourself, why did I co along for this?” Wei Chuyin smiled bitterly.
Ai Qian didn’t speak.
The two girls rested for a while.
“Let’s go.”
“No, let’s rest a bit more, just one minute,” Wei Chuyin said with a pained expression.
Ai Qian could only set the poster column down again.
Glancing inadvertently, Wei Chuyin suddenly exclaid, “Look there!”
Ai Qian followed her gaze.
She saw a familiar figure heading towards the male dorms across the street, in the sa direction as them.
“Jiang Chen!”
Before Ai Qian could react, Wei Chuyin had already shouted out.
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and spotted the two…
classmates across the street.
He stood there for a while, then finally changed direction and ca over.
“What are you guys doing…”
“The school is about to hold a New Year’s Eve gala, the auditorium needs decorating, but these things are too heavy.
Jiang Chen, can you lend us a hand?”
Wei Chuyin quickly spoke up.
It seed there was no good reason to refuse, both morally and emotionally.
Ai Qian looked sowhat uneasy, her head slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact with Jiang Chen.
“Sure, give it to .”
“Take this one.”
Wei Chuyin handed the poster column to Jiang Chen, and she and Ai Qian took care of the other items.
The three set off again.
With a man sharing the load, the task beca much easier.
Wei Chuyin didn’t stop to rest anymore, but the atmosphere seed overly solemn.
Wei Chuyin tried to catch Ai Qian’s eye several tis, but Ai Qian ignored her, remaining silent.
“Shouldn’t these tasks be handled by the publicity departnt or the student union?
What’s it got to do with you?”
It was Jiang Chen who finally broke the silence.
“I’m just killing ti, so I thought I’d help out.”
With Ai Qian silent, Wei Chuyin ended up answering.
Jiang Chen nodded, and perhaps because he really couldn’t think of anything else to say, the quiet returned.
“Thanks.”
Once they arrived at the auditorium and put the items down, Ai Qian finally spoke her first line.
“No problem.”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, “Then I’ll be off.”
Wei Chuyin hesitated with words on the tip of her tongue.
Ai Qian nodded.
Jiang Chen turned and left.
“Are you stupid?
You’re just letting him go like that?”
Wei Chuyin finally couldn’t contain her anxiety and blurted out.
“Otherwise, what can we do?”
“Ai Qian, why must you act so calm?
You clearly can’t let go of him, otherwise why would you try every possible way to keep yourself busy?
Because if you’re idle, you’ll find it irresistible to think about him.
Am I wrong?”
Ai Qian remained silent.
“Since you can’t let go of him, why not go fight for it?
Is it really so hard to put your pride aside?!”
Wei Chuyin was frustrated by her lack of initiative.
“How do you know that I haven’t tried?”
Even best friends don’t share everything.
The mont she felt regret, she wanted to salvage the situation and took imdiate action, not just once, but the outco…
“Everyone has to pay for their mistakes.
Spilt water can’t be collected, so things, once missed, are missed forever.”
Ai Qian turned around, “Let’s get to work.”
Watching the busy delicate figure, Wei Chuyin felt a rush of mixed emotions.
Evening.
It was dark by the ti Luo Peng returned to the dormitory, seeing Jiang Chen there, he hurriedly complained, “Jiang Chen, you’re finally back, Zheng Jingjing clung to all day.”
“Zheng Jingjing?
Li Shuru’s roommate?”
Li Shao asked in surprise, “Why was she pestering you?”
“She said that Jiang Chen promised to invest in their dance studio, but then didn’t provide the funds.
These girls are all tough cookies, so if Jiang Chen promised her, why was she pestering ?
She even made pay for a al.”
Luo Peng sat down with a pained expression, one foot on the chair, “Jiang Chen, you owe for that al.”
Jiang Chen was also sowhat surprised, and then smiled aningfully.
“I think that girl is quite good, straightforward and brave in love and hate, quite a match for you.”
Luo Peng was taken aback, then swiftly retorted, “Give a break, I prefer the delicate and dependent type.
Zheng Jingjing, I can’t control her.”
“Brother Luo, that’s not like you.
Where is your confidence?”
Bai Zheli adjusted his glasses.
“Yeah, and this way, you and Jiang Chen would be brothers-in-law, family on top of family.
If word gets out, it would make quite the story,” Li Shao joked as well.
“Stop it, you guys!”
Luo Peng laughed and cursed.
“I took such a heavy blow from Luo Lier, I can’t recover so quickly, I’m not in the mood for flirting.”
This didn’t sound false.
During this ti, he had mostly devoted his energy to the angel investnt club and hadn’t been womanizing much.
“By the way, have you co across any good projects recently?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Xiao Bai, show your brother Chen the info,” said Luo Peng.
Bai Zheli stood up, took a stack of registration forms from his bookshelf, and handed them to Jiang Chen.
“A lot of people co to consult every day, but few are reliable; most are all talk and no action,” Luo Peng said.
“No worries, a good horse is hard to find, and so is a Bole.
Don’t rush; let the bullets fly for a while.”
Li Shao comforted.
Jiang Chen went through all the registration forms.
“By the way, Jiang Chen, the virtual girlfriend app is almost developed and should be ready right after New Year’s Day.
They ca to saying they can start planning for the next step of promotion.”
“Hire people to do ground promotion?”
Li Shao asked instinctively.
“Too slow and not efficient enough.”
Bai Zheli dismissed the suggestion, “Also, such a way of promotion would subconsciously give it a cheap and vulgar image.”
“But wouldn’t advertising cost too much?” Luo Peng asked.
Advertising was indeed the most straightforward and effective thod, but the cost was too high.
It couldn’t be resolved with just a few hundred thousand.
So ga promotion budgets were astonishingly in the hundreds of millions!
Everyone looked at Jiang Chen.
“If it really doesn’t work, then we’ll just have to take it slow and gradually build up…”
Luo Peng murmured.
“What do you guys think about getting a celebrity endorsent?
Could it possibly be more effective?”
Jiang Chen’s suggestion was astounding.
Luo Peng was stunned.
“Isn’t that obvious!”
Then, he beca sowhat skeptical.
“Jiang Chen, do you an, you want to get a celebrity endorsent?”
Bai Zheli and Luo Peng were both taken aback.
Having a celebrity endorsent was the most brute-force thod of advertising, but also one with a high price tag.
“Brother Chen, wouldn’t this be too risky?
A lesser-known celebrity might not make much impact, but if we get a big star…
not to ntion whether they would agree, the endorsent fee alone could be astronomical…”
Bai Zheli spoke bluntly, “If it fails, that’s money down the drain.”
“Then we simply won’t allow the possibility of failure,” Jiang Chen said as if not joking, making Luo Peng’s expression turn serious.
Celebrity endorsents were a big capital ga, far beyond their reach.
“Jiang Chen, are you serious?”
Jiang Chen nodded.
“Then, whom do you have in mind for the endorsent?”
Jiang Chen was silent for a while.
“What do you think about Pei Yunxi?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The entire dormitory instantly beca quiet, almost dead silent.
Pei Yunxi, what about her?
Luo Peng and the others were stunned and dumbfounded.
They never expected Jiang Chen to have such a wild idea!
“Jiang Chen, do you have any idea how expensive Pei Yunxi’s endorsent fee is?
And would she even consider endorsing a virtual love ga made by college students?”
Without a doubt, with Pei Yunxi’s popularity, if she really agreed to endorse it, it would definitely cause a sensation.
And then, failure would seem impossible!
It’s the sa with live comrce.
As long as the influencer’s level is high enough, even if you were selling cow dung, people would probably call it fragrant.
But the key question was, was it realistic?
Who was Pei Yunxi?
She endorsed international luxury brands.
Would she co to play house with a bunch of college students?
Jiang Chen ignored Luo Peng’s look of seeing a madman and put down the registration forms in his hands.
“Now that the investnt club is gradually getting on track, it’s ti to formally establish a company.”
