Chapter 398: Chapter 228: Drawing a Pie! Targeting Hanfu Outing Day
Chen Jincheng hadn’t expected to run into Crying Bud here. He hadn’t seen her in a long time, though he’d heard her family’s bar had closed down—or, to be more precise, that Extreme Bar was now the only one left on Feifuxing Road.
There was nothing to be done about it. Extreme Bar’s momentum was just too strong, and it had basically siphoned off all the big spenders.
Now, if one of those big spenders didn’t go to Extreme Bar, people would assume they couldn’t even get a table there.
It was a strange mindset, but that was just how the nightlife regulars in the Feifuxing Road area thought now.
Crying Bud hadn’t expected to see Chen Jincheng either, but she just gave him a slight nod.
Chen Jincheng nodded back in return, making no other move, not even offering a simple greeting.
’Isn’t that just life? You meet so many people, but in the end, most of them just become nodding acquaintances.’
Besides, he and Crying Bud had only ever had drinks together twice at the bar and added each other on WeChat. That was it.
He had indeed wanted to give her a Heat Card at first. Since she’d refused, well, she was the one who’d turned down an opportunity.
’In life, opportunities don’t just keep showing up. Some come only once.’
The people with Crying Bud, however, were all staring at Chen Jincheng in astonishment.
"I think that’s Chen Jincheng."
"That’s him. The two girls next to him are Yinyin and Ximeng from his company."
"He’s holding them so intimately. I bet he’s slept with them, just like everyone online says, right?"
"But Chen Jincheng really is handsome!"
"..."
Clearly, Chen Jincheng was quite famous now. More and more people were starting to recognize him on the street.
Back in the car, Chen Jincheng drove Yinyin and Ximeng to the company.
As he entered the Second-Life Star offices, Chen Jincheng noticed all the employees giving him strange looks—the kind of look you see on gossip-mongers who’ve just gotten a huge scoop.
Once he was in his office, Sister Hong came in, giving him that same strange look.
"Sister Hong, what’s with that look from everyone? Tell me what’s going on," Chen Jincheng asked directly.
Sister Hong teased, "I just didn’t expect to see juicy gossip about you and a rich female fan online. That Sister Hehe looks pretty good, by the way. The incident from the livestream made the trending list."
’Just as I thought,’ Chen Jincheng mused.
During the livestream, Sister Hehe had clearly turned on her camera by accident, unexpectedly revealing quite a bit. He knew at the time that this might get him trending on Tiao Yin, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so fast.
Chen Jincheng pulled out his phone to check. The story was getting a lot of traction.
Beautiful Rich Woman Wants to Be Chen Jincheng’s Sugar Mama!
The headline was direct and to the point.
He clicked on it and saw the clip of Sister Hehe’s accidental appearance. The sexy, revealing footage had all the perverts who saw it going wild. You could tell just by looking at the comments section, which was full of handsome guys posting their photos and begging to be her sugar baby.
Who knew how many people online were envying Chen Jincheng’s luck with women.
Many people had first seen the video starring the two girls, Yinyin and Ximeng. The two of them, appearing on screen together in matching French-style fairy dresses, were truly a beautiful sight.
Just imagine if those two girls were your girlfriends. How happy would you be to have them both?
Many people said that Chen Jincheng had already slept with both girls. Even though Chen Jincheng constantly denied it, everyone knew what was really going on.
That alone was enough to make people bitter with envy.
But then, out of nowhere, this trending topic about a rich woman wanting to be his sugar mama appeared. If she had been some old lady in her fifties or sixties, they would have just poked fun at him. But who would have thought this rich woman would be such a smoke-show?
Not only was her skin fair, but she had a great body and a beautiful face. And most importantly, she was rich.
Damn it, that made them even more envious of Chen Jincheng. No, not envious—jealous.
Why did all the good things happen to Chen Jincheng?
Chen Jincheng put down his phone, his mind already turning to how he should respond the next time the rich woman, Sister Hehe, tried to hit on him.
’Maybe... I should add her on WeChat first?’
’After all, she donated so much. I can’t be too cold, can I?’
Just then, Sister Hong reported, "Boss, as you instructed, I’ve started using videos from our other artists to drive traffic to the company’s official website. I also had the artists update their personal sections on the site with candid daily-life photos and some sexy pictures."
"How are the numbers looking?" Chen Jincheng asked immediately.
The official Second-Life Star website was part of his preparation for producing short-form dramas. Once Guangding Headquarters issued the new regulations allowing online short-form dramas to be filed for review just like regular TV series and films, he could be the first to move into that space.
Sister Hong explained, "Right now, the official website has 230,000 registered users, and the mini-program has been added by over 150,000 people. They’re all die-hard fans of the girls."
"That’s a bit slow!" Chen Jincheng opened the Second-Life Star website on his computer, went to the influencer section, and clicked through their individual pages one by one to look at the sexy photos they’d posted.
As he looked, Chen Jincheng’s brow furrowed slightly. "Sister Hong, these photos aren’t sexy enough. They aren’t even as revealing as the outfits they wore when they worked at the bar, are they? They could dress that sexy in front of customers back then, but now they’re getting all shy about taking a few pictures?"
"Tell them to make the photos sexier when they update. Why else would the people we’re driving to the site bother to register for an account? They see the girls sharing photos of their daily lives as a perk."
