’Still, with this "Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge" as a starting point, followed by a few more strategies to get ahead of the curve, it shouldn’t be a problem to push her to the level of Xing Gou or Yatogami Gou, who have over five million fans.’
’After all, her looks aren’t any worse than theirs, and her figure is way better.’
’Especially those long legs.’
"Boss, I know this kind of thing is normal in our line of work, but you should still exercise so restraint," Sister Hong said with a concerned tone. She didn’t give a direct answer, but her response was clear enough.
"..." Chen Jincheng was speechless. "Am I that kind of person?"
Instantly, Sister Hong, Yijin, and Xiaohai all turned to look at him in unison.
They all remained silent, but the answer was plain to see.
"Damn it!" Chen Jincheng grumbled.
Soon, numbers started jumping on the data monitoring computers. The girls’ videos were getting views, likes, and comnts.
The data showed which girl’s numbers were growing the fastest, and they could use it to rank each girl’s performance.
"Xing’s data is the best. She’s already shot to first place by a huge margin," Xiaohai reported in real-ti.
This prompted Chen Jincheng to imdiately vindicate himself. "See? I told you she had potential. And here you all were, doubting your own boss."
Sister Hong had to admit it. Just like his talent for planning, his eye for this sort of thing was indeed incredibly sharp.
"Based on her growth trend, hitting over two million likes and gaining a few hundred thousand fans shouldn’t be a problem." Xiaohai analyzed Xing’s data carefully and sighed with admiration. "Boss, your plan is another success. You should really teach the planning departnt a thing or two. They’ve been coming up with so many plans lately, but none of them are any good."
"Give them ti to gain experience," Chen Jincheng said with a smile, then turned to give Sister Hong instructions. "Sister Hong, the ’Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge’ trending topic should be popping up soon. Have our company’s other artists film and upload their own versions to ride the wave a bit."
"Okay." Sister Hong nodded and picked up her phone to make the arrangents.
「At that mont.」
The girls who had just finished filming their videos gathered in small groups, checking the stats on their own clips.
To be honest, many of them had taken the day off from their regular jobs to go to the auto show. After all, if they didn’t manage to hook a rich heir or a wealthy older man, they’d have to go back to work.
Who would have thought they’d unexpectedly end up joining Second-Life Star? Faced with the choice of becoming an influencer, they decisively quit their jobs. Even though they weren’t famous yet, the allure of fa and fortune was imnse for these girls. They were willing to bet it all. Even if they didn’t make it big, losing their jobs wasn’t a huge deal. At worst, they could just find a boyfriend to support them for a while.
But for now, they were all chattering excitedly about the videos they had just fild.
"A professional company is amazing. My very first video already has so many likes."
"Yeah! I used to film my own stuff, and even though I looked pretty and the videos were good, the most likes I ever got was a few thousand. This one already has thousands of likes."
" too. At this rate, I bet my video could hit 100,000 likes."
"..."
Xing didn’t know any of these girls. As a car show model, she was different from the girls who had co to the auto show as attendees.
She, too, was watching her own video. The speed at which the numbers were climbing made her heart pound.
She was also on Tiao Yin and had been for half a year, posting all sorts of sultry videos, but her follower count had never broken 10,000.
Now, after joining Second-Life Star, her very first video had already hit 30,000 likes in no ti at all. Even her most-liked video ever hadn’t gotten that many. Plus, her followers were rapidly increasing.
She couldn’t believe how many likes this video might end up with. It was as if she could already see herself becoming famous.
She knew, of course, that the boss was giving her resources for a promotional push. She’d seen the clip accounts, too.
This was sothing the other girls didn’t have.
She was thrilled by this and wondered why she was getting more resources. She figured it was because she had made a move on the boss in the filming room, which had left a deep impression on him.
’She understood one thing very well: no one receives special treatnt for no reason.’
’Perhaps this special treatnt was a one-ti thing, but she wanted much more than that.’
Just as she was thinking this, she saw her new boss erge from the editing departnt and walk toward an office. She hurried after him.
Chen Jincheng had just sat down in his office when he saw Xing walk in. He smiled and said, "Congratulations. Your first video is a hit."
"It’s all thanks to you, Boss!" Xing quickly thanked him, her voice intentionally high and coquettish.
Chen Jincheng chuckled. "Is that cutesy voice of yours put on, or are you naturally like that?"
"Boss, I’m not putting it on! My voice has always been like this," Xing said, putting on a wronged expression. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought sothing had happened to her.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng just smiled and said, "I have a dinner eting tonight. Want to co along?"
"Really?" Xing’s wronged expression instantly turned into one of pleasant surprise.
She never thought such a good opportunity would fall into her lap.
"Really. Dress nicely," Chen Jincheng said.
’As a man, you can go to a dinner party without your wife or girlfriend, but you definitely can’t go alone. You have to have a girl with you as company.’
’He didn’t have a wife or a girlfriend, so since Yijin was treating, it was only natural to bring a girl along. Coincidentally, Xing had lived up to his expectations; her stats from the "Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge" video were the best. He could take her, have Yijin film a few videos of her and him, post them on the clip accounts for promotion, and generate even more buzz for her.’
’Co to think of it, the Ancestral Master from his past life used to drive traffic for the girls under his wing just like this. It was a good thod, one worth learning.’
"Boss, where is it?" Xing asked imdiately. In truth, she was hoping the boss would offer to pick her up, which would an she’d get to ride in his Lamborghini.
"At the Jinyi Hotel," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
"Oh, I’m staying there." Xing was subconsciously a little disappointed, but she quickly added, "Then please contact when the ti cos, Boss."
Just then, Chen Jincheng’s phone rang. Seeing this, the girl was smart enough not to bother him any further and excused herself from the office.
The call was from Lin Leqing. He figured she must have finished her business and was ready to co to Coastal City.
He answered, and her voice, tinged with anticipation, ca through the phone. "Senior, I’m flying to Coastal City tomorrow morning."
Chen Jincheng understood perfectly. He smiled and said, "What ti exactly? I’ll co pick you up tomorrow."
"Senior, I’ll arrive at 9:00!" Lin Leqing’s voice was now clearly tinged with delight. This was obviously the result she had been hoping for. If she hadn’t wanted him to pick her up, she wouldn’t have called in the first place.
Now that she had her answer, she couldn’t describe the feeling of satisfaction welling up inside her.
Afterward, she imdiately opened her suitcase and checked it carefully, making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything. Then, she began picking out her outfit for the next day. She definitely had to look her best when she saw her senior again.
anwhile, on the internet, the "Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge" had indeed shot up the trending topics at lightning speed, catching many people’s attention.
Xing’s video, in particular, was the top video under the trending topic. Her figure was undeniably good, and dressed in those pajamas, her slyly innocent pouting was a huge hit, sending the likes soaring.
At first, everyone just thought it was another pretty girl who’d gone viral with a video, which wasn’t strange. But when a whole series of girls doing the "Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge" appeared, all in pajamas and in the sa setting, everyone realized sothing was off.
’This has to be mass-produced, right?’
Observant users clicked on the girls’ profiles and saw the agency tag for Second-Life Star.
’This was planned by Second-Life Star again?’
’No wonder.’
Ever since the "window wiping" trend, Second-Life Star had been churning out one mass-produced viral hit after another, successfully launching influencers like Jiang Xiaobai and Yinyin.
But the key question was, how did Second-Life Star have such strong planning capabilities?
Plenty of other agencies had tried to copy Second-Life Star’s model—recruiting a bunch of girls and mass-producing content—but none of them had seen any success.
Chen Jincheng had been keeping an eye on the "Cutesy Pouty-face Challenge." Once the plan’s popularity took off, he felt relieved. Setting down his phone, he turned his attention to the > in his mind and started accepting and playing through more tasks. Unfortunately, he didn’t receive any rewards from the next few.
Just as he was about to accept a new task, Sister Hong hurried into the office, a joyful expression on her face. She handed a docunt to Chen Jincheng and said, "Boss, take a look at this."
Chen Jincheng took the docunt and glanced at it, his own face imdiately breaking into a delighted smile.
’This is the biggest surprise of the day.’
