Lin Hao wasn’t clueless. Realizing the girl already had a target, he decisively slipped off the stage.
How embarrassing.
Back at their booth, he said, exasperated, "Lao Cheng, that girl’s target is you. You fucking knew already, didn’t you?"
"Didn’t you just help confirm it?" Chen Jincheng said with a smile. "Thanks!"
"..." Hearing this, Lin Hao just flipped him the bird. He felt like cursing him out.
The girl, Qianqian, hurried over and nestled into Lin Hao’s arms. "Young Master Lin, let’s have a drink, okay?"
"Let’s drink." Lin Hao went with the flow, pulling the girl into his arms as he sat back down in the booth.
’This girl is pretty sharp,’ Chen Jincheng thought. ’She knows how to provide emotional support at just the right mont. No wonder Lin Hao brought her out tonight.’
He looked toward Cen Ning on the stage again and found her gaze eting his at that exact mont.
Their eyes t for just an instant.
Cen Ning’s eyes flickered away, and she imdiately started dancing with more energy, leading the girls around her and hyping up the atmosphere.
Sotis, showing off your skills is what makes you shine.
Chen Jincheng smiled.
’Looks like this girl hasn’t gone love-struck yet,’ he thought. ’Her goal is probably to beco an influencer, and right now she’s trying to get my attention with her ability to hype up the stage.’
So, he headed for the stage.
He couldn’t miss out on a potential star player who could anchor the show like her.
Since the interest was mutual, this would be easy.
Once on stage, he walked up to Cen Ning and started dancing with her.
His "King of Clubbing" attribute kicked in, increasing his charisma and appeal to the opposite sex by 100% at the Extre Bar and making it easier to find a dance partner.
Several nearby girls spotted him and seed to recognize him as the influencer Chen Jincheng. Their eyes lit up, and they looked eager to approach.
Cen Ning, clearly seeing that her efforts might be for soone else’s gain, acted decisively. She grabbed Chen Jincheng’s hand and led him into a slow dance, causing the other girls to look on in disappointnt.
Chen Jincheng watched Cen Ning with a faint smile and gestured for them to go have a drink.
The girl nodded.
He took her by the hand and led her directly off the stage toward his booth.
With Cen Ning gone from the dance floor, the atmosphere noticeably cooled down.
The sight of her being led off the stage naturally didn’t escape the patrons who had been watching her. They sighed with a mix of envy and regret. ’How did she get whisked away by him? Doesn’t she know he’s the biggest scumbag on the internet?’
Did this just fucking prove the saying, "Girls don’t love n who aren’t scumbags"?
Elephant, who had been at the booth the whole ti, watched his cousin bring the girl over so effortlessly. His eyes widened in amazent. ’As expected of my cousin.’
’I’m so jealous.’
After having Cen Ning sit down, Chen Jincheng poured two drinks, handed one to her, and they clinked glasses.
Seeing this, Lin Hao, who was sitting nearby, said, "Girl, you’re really straightforward. You ca right for him."
"This is Lin Hao, my friend," Chen Jincheng introduced.
"Young Master Lin, a toast to you," Cen Ning said with a bright smile, raising her glass to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao wasn’t a petty person. He drank with her and didn’t forget to add a complint, "You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, kid. This guy, Lao Cheng, is full of ideas. He’ll make you famous."
"Thank you, Young Master Lin," Cen Ning replied, also smiling.
Chen Jincheng watched from the side. ’She does have emotional intelligence,’ he had to admit. ’It makes sense that in the other world, she had so many rich heirs chasing her and was still able to maintain good relationships with her clients.’
’Too bad a love-struck brain ruins everything.’
After she finished drinking with Lin Hao, Chen Jincheng said to her, "Let’s go sign the contract first. Here at the bar, you’ll probably be taking over for Jiang Xiaobai. As for the dia company, once I’m done with my current projects, I’ll arrange for you to shoot so videos."
"Mhm!" Cen Ning nodded.
They were all adults, and their intentions were on the table. There was no need to beat around the bush; getting straight to the point was the best option.
"Elephant, keep Brother Hao company. I’m taking Cenchun to sign a contract," Chen Jincheng instructed Elephant.
"I know, Cousin," Elephant imdiately replied.
Cen Ning, however, was clearly taken aback for a mont. ’I don’t think I’ve told him my na yet.’ But seeing Chen Jincheng leave the booth, she hurried to follow.
In the back office of the bar, Chen Jincheng asked for her ID to prepare the contract.
years old. Truly the pri of her life.
"Cenchun, what made you want to work in a bar?"
"I ca here with a friend. But she developed health problems from staying up all night, and I don’t want to go down the sa path. We’re both DJs, and I really admire Jiang Xiaobai. So, when I saw the Extre Bar was hiring, I beca interested."
"As long as you follow my arrangents, you’ll be the next Jiang Xiaobai. First, I’ll take you to et President Wang, who’s in charge of the bar. For the next couple of days, just follow his instructions."
"Okay."
When they got to the bar’s office, Chen Jincheng printed out the contract for Second-Life Star, and Wang Yuan also brought over the contract for the bar itself.
He introduced her to Wang Yuan, "Her na is Cenchun. From now on, she’ll be taking over for Xiaobai as the bar’s head DJ."
Wang Yuan had actually noticed Cen Ning long ago. After all, she had co to the bar three days in a row, and it was hard not to pay attention to her ability to hype up the crowd.
He had actually thought about recruiting her for the bar himself but didn’t expect the boss to snatch her up the mont he arrived.
’As expected of the boss.’
After the contracts were signed, Chen Jincheng looked at the employee information that appeared in his mind:
Na: Cen Ning
Loyalty: 80
Status: The girl is in a great mood. Her three-day plan has co to fruition. Plus, the new boss is really handso!
The girl had just signed the contract, and her Loyalty was already at 80.
That was very high.
He chuckled when he read her status description.
’Looks really are everything,’ he thought. ’Her Loyalty is so high, it’s most likely because she’s a sucker for a pretty face, and I just happen to be handso!’
’Still, being into looks is fine. It’s her tendency to get love-struck that I really need to watch out for. It would be a total pain in the ass if I make her famous, only for her to get all starry-eyed over so guy and repeat the tragedy from the other world.’
But as for how to prevent sothing like a "love-struck brain," he had no experience whatsoever.
Just then, Cen Ning smiled brightly at Chen Jincheng and said, "Boss, do you need to go back out and drink with you? After that, I need to go ho and prepare to start work tomorrow."
"Let’s go out and have a few more drinks with Lin Hao, then I’ll send you ho," Chen Jincheng said, leading her back to the booth in the main hall.
After signing the contract, Cen Ning loosened up considerably. She sat down right next to Chen Jincheng and raised her glass to Lin Hao again. "Young Master Lin, here’s a toast to you on behalf of my boss."
"Look at that, now I’m jealous of Lao Cheng. He already has a girl drinking on his behalf," Lin Hao joked.
"Young Master Lin, I can drink for you," Qianqian imdiately said, soothing his ego. She took a glass and clinked it with Cen Ning’s.
After drinking for a while longer, Chen Jincheng said to Lin Hao, "Lin Hao, let’s call it a night. We have things to do tomorrow."
"Mhm!" Lin Hao nodded. He, too, was looking forward to the yacht photoshoot they had planned for the next day.
After they both left the bar, Chen Jincheng called for a designated driver. He had Cen Ning get into the back seat of the BMW 5 Series and had the driver take her ho first.
"Boss, thank you for taking ho," Cen Ning said through the car window after getting out, before walking into her residential complex.
Chen Jincheng checked the girl’s employee information again:
Na: Cen Ning
Loyalty: 85
Status: The new boss is so handso. He doesn’t seem like the scumbag everyone says he is online. He actually seems really considerate.
He didn’t expect that just taking her ho would increase her Loyalty by 5 points.
The girl’s status had changed, and ’what a simple girl she is.’
’Can you really tell if a guy is a scumbag just because he took you ho once?’
Then, he had the driver take him back to his rented villa. Since he’d been drinking, he took a shower and went straight to bed.
「Ti passed.」
As the next day dawned, Tiao Yin had unexpectedly published three major trending news stories about the sa person. Early that morning, the na "Chen Jincheng" swept across the entire platform.
