This feeling of being famous, of being envied... it was quite enjoyable.
So, she was very generous when it ca to treating everyone. She took a few of her colleagues out for a grand seafood feast, booking a very nice private room.
After they sat down and ordered, she pulled out her phone, logged into Tiao Yin, and checked the stats on her video.
Her inbox was already full of private ssages, all things like, "Hey beautiful, let’s get to know each other," or, "Hey beautiful, can I add you on WeChat?"
They were so annoying to look at. Just a bunch of creeps.
She deleted the ssages, but then she noticed a new one. The sender claid to be Chen Jincheng, saying he saw great potential in her and wanted to invite her to join Second-Life Star.
When she saw the ssage, she fired back an irritable reply: "Are you an idiot? You’re the 11th person today to claim to be Chen Jincheng. Just because you’re stupid doesn’t an you can treat like so gullible girl."
At Second-Life Star.
Chen Jincheng stared at Xiaoju’s reply, completely dumbfounded.
’What the hell?’
’Had 11 other Chen Jinchengs already tried to hit on her before him?’
’So now he was a fake, too?’
Chen Jincheng sent a wry smile emoji and typed, "You couldn’t just click on my profile to check?"
Back in the seafood restaurant’s private room.
Xiaoju put down her phone and started complaining to her colleagues, "Why are there so many creeps in the world these days? This one’s even pretending to be Chen Jincheng, saying he sees potential in !"
A colleague next to her teased, "Xiaoju, that’s obviously because you’re pretty and have a great body. They just want to see if you’re easy to fool. They want to sleep with you!"
Xiaoju shot her colleague a look. "I’m not so little girl. I’m not going to fall for their tricks."
But then another colleague asked, "Xiaoju, what if the real Chen Jincheng ca looking for you and wanted to sleep with you? Would you let him?"
Xiaoju was speechless. "He’s such a player. Even if the real one showed up, I couldn’t be bothered with him."
One colleague said with a grin, "But Chen Jincheng is amazing at making people famous. If he takes a liking to you, you could beco a huge influencer. Isn’t that better than selling houses here, getting ogled by creepy clients all day?"
The colleague who had just spoken chid in, "Exactly! I had so hick offer to buy an apartnt if I’d sleep with him for a night! I don’t know what goes through their heads. But if it were Chen Jincheng... he’s so handso and talented, and he could make you a star. It wouldn’t be a bad deal, would it?"
Hearing this, an image of Chen Jincheng inexplicably appeared in Xiaoju’s mind.
After her "Subject Three" video went viral, she had scrolled through so of Chen Jincheng’s videos too.
’He really is handso!’
But faced with her colleagues’ teasing, she still said defiantly, "That kind of player? Even if he wanted to make famous, I wouldn’t give him the chance!"
’Besides, there’s no way Chen Jincheng would actually approach her.’
Just as she said that, she noticed another ssage in her Tiao Yin inbox. She opened it and saw it was from the sa guy claiming to be Chen Jincheng.
’This guy just doesn’t give up, does he?’
But when she opened the new ssage from him, she froze for a mont.
"You couldn’t just click on my profile to check?"
Xiaoju’s mind went blank.
She subconsciously tapped on his profile.
Chen Jincheng: 7.87 million followers, verified account.
"Ah!" Xiaoju cried out in disbelief when she saw the profile clearly.
Her colleagues all looked over at her, confused.
"Xiaoju, what’s wrong?"
"Yeah, Xiaoju, what happened?"
"..."
Xiaoju quickly changed the subject. "I saw a dark spot and thought it was a cockroach. It scared ."
"You scared ."
"Seriously!"
"I thought sothing bad had happened."
"..."
Xiaoju managed to placate her colleagues, but her heart was pounding like crazy.
A mont ago, she’d been so defiant because she thought there was no way Chen Jincheng would actually contact her.
But now, the real Chen Jincheng had co knocking. Any girl he took an interest in could beco a huge influencer.
But then she imdiately rembered he was a player, and what her colleagues had said—that sleeping with Chen Jincheng once to beco a huge influencer wasn’t a bad deal.
’This... I have to ask him about this...’
She hesitated for a mont, then quickly replied, "Do you really just see potential in ? Are you... going to sleep with ?"
But as soon as she sent it, she felt it was inappropriate.
’Who asks sothing like that right off the bat?’ She quickly retracted the ssage.
"???" Chen Jincheng, however, had already seen the ssage. Retracting it was useless.
He was left speechless.
He had only sent an invitation. How could she ask a question like that? Was he that kind of person?
’This is an insult to my character, you know?’
Chen Jincheng replied, "I never ss around with my own people!"
"So you really do see potential in ?" Xiaoju imdiately sent another ssage.
"You guess!" Chen Jincheng replied, a playful mood suddenly striking him.
She had retracted her ssage, only to reply again so eagerly. It was obvious she wanted to join Second-Life Star.
After all, the temptation of becoming a glamorous, dazzling, and famous influencer was sothing most ordinary girls couldn’t resist.
But she had dared to insult his character.
’Might as well string her along for a bit. Let her sweat.’
Xiaoju stared at the two words "You guess!" and froze.
’What does that an?’
She imdiately sent a row of question marks.
But this ti, Chen Jincheng didn’t reply.
This made her inexplicably anxious. She was distracted for the rest of the al, and even the seafood, which she usually found delicious, tasted like nothing at all.
"Xiaoju, what’s wrong? You’ve been distracted this whole al," a colleague asked, noticing her strange behavior.
"No, it’s nothing," Xiaoju quickly said, shaking her head. How could she admit the real reason? She would lose so much face in front of her colleagues.
After they parted ways, she rushed ho. The mont she got back, she sent a smiley face emoji to Chen Jincheng.
But once again, her ssage was t with silence.
This caused her to lose sleep. Even late into the night, she didn’t feel the slightest bit drowsy.
She picked up her phone to scroll through videos and ca across one about Chen Jincheng. The famous celebrity Luo Xiaozhu had posted it, saying the choreography Chen Jincheng planned was technically lacking.
