Chapter 185 - 152: Really Looking Forward to It! The Vertical Effect

Han Shangyou, of course, didn’t believe Chen Jincheng could have known about the long-form video feature in advance and already had ideas.

The only reason Chen Jincheng would specifically request this feature for a newcomer was probably just to create another "Miss Cheng."

He just wondered if this new girl could replicate his past successes with long-form videos.

That actually made him a little excited.

If this girl could go viral with a single video, just like the others he’d promoted, it would help them publicize the long-form video feature. In that case, they wouldn’t mind pushing some traffic to the girl he was promoting.

So, he instructed his assistant, "Keep an eye on Second-Life Star. See what kind of long-form video content they’re planning to shoot."

"Yes, President Han." The assistant nodded at once.

Han Shangyou added, "Also, the first week’s advertising rankings are out. Tell Second-Life Star to shoot and send over their promotional photos, and do the same for the others in the top 10."

The advertising module had been unexpectedly successful under Chen Jincheng’s management, far exceeding expectations.

In fact, aside from Ah Hao, who had come out of nowhere to claim the top spot with a single ten-million-yuan ad, the 2nd through 4th places in the top 10 were all swept up by Sister Feiye, who was second in total sales, Chen Jincheng himself, and Yinyin.

Although the creators in 5th through 10th place had caught up somewhat by accumulating sales volume, a comparison of their single-ad sales revealed a staggering, cliff-like gap.

The key was, Ah Hao’s ad campaign had also been planned by Chen Jincheng.

This was a testament to Chen Jincheng’s prowess.

He had recently been considering whether to include Chen Jincheng in the "Star Label" program.

There was no rush, though. He could continue to evaluate the situation. After all, the "Star Label" program would only launch after several other strategic plans were completed.

For now, the priority was to continue refining the advertising module and ensure a smooth launch for the long-form video feature.

...

「Second-Life Star.」

Chen Jincheng carefully polished the script for *Family Status*. After a moment of thought, he changed the title to *Family Position*. That seemed more fitting.

Just as he clicked "save," Ximeng walked into his office with a pout on her face.

She was still in her sexy secretary outfit, paired with stilettos that made her tall, slender figure all the more eye-catching.

"What’s wrong? What’s with the long face?" Chen Jincheng asked, noticing her pouty expression.

Ximeng pouted even more. "Boss, you’re just too much. Last night, Wang Qiqi and I were both right there with you. I could have accepted it if you’d chosen Wang Qiqi. But you actually scolded us so sternly, then went off to find Cen Ning. My heart is broken."

Chen Jincheng understood. He chuckled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I went straight home to sleep. When did I go looking for Cenchun?"

Ximeng rolled her eyes at him. "Boss, everybody knows. How can you deny it with such a straight face? Cen Ning posted a tell-all video. You were at her house first thing this morning, messing with her stockings and panties."

"Huh?" Chen Jincheng froze. He had no idea this had happened. He checked Cen Ning’s account and, sure enough, she had posted a new video.

’When did she secretly film this?’

’She even made me look like a damn creep.’

’Still, this careless act of hers seems to have added some buzz for that ’sunny-vibe-reversal’ video.’

After watching the video, he immediately turned to Ximeng and said sternly, "That was because I thought of an idea for a shoot and rushed over to Cenchun’s place early this morning. I did not spend the night there. I am an upstanding gentleman, and you’re slandering me. Ximeng, I am very displeased."

It was his policy to never admit anything to one girl unless she had seen it with her own eyes.

And even if another girl had seen something with her own eyes, as long as it wasn’t recorded, she must have seen it wrong.

Even if it was recorded, then it was just a computer-generated fake.

Ximeng stared at him, wide-eyed. She couldn’t believe the thickness of her boss’s skin.

’How could he still turn this around and blame me?’

’Rushed over early in the morning? If he posted that online, I wonder how many out of ten people would believe him.’

SLAP!~

"What’s that look for? Don’t you believe your own boss?" Chen Jincheng reached out and gave Ximeng a hard slap on the behind as a "punishment."

"I’d be a fool to believe you," Ximeng muttered under her breath, covering her behind.

However, as a girl skilled in the art of feminine wiles, she knew when to stop. She had intentionally shown her boss she was jealous, providing him with the emotional validation of her jealousy. To go any further would be to cause a scene.

She understood the distinction.

Just then, Sister Hong entered the office to report, "Boss, the results for Tiao Yin’s first week of advertising rankings are out. They sent a message asking us to shoot a promotional photo of you, Sister Feiye, and Yinyin for them. They want to use it for publicity."

"Oh, right, Yinyin and Xiaobai both returned yesterday. We’re still reviewing their future activities and ad deals. Regarding their career paths, Yinyin is easy enough. As you instructed, we’ve hired a choreographer to help her adapt her ’Big Pendulum’ dance. After that, she’ll focus on posting dance videos to secure a place in the dance category."

"Also, per your plan, we’ll continue the theme from the Luna Stockings ad video by having her dress sexy and wear stockings in all her videos."

"As for Jiang Xiaobai, though, the plan you laid out was for her to become a fashion blogger. I had the planning department put together a couple of fashion-related proposals for her, but they were all rather disappointing. So, if you can, could you plan a fashion video for her first, just to maintain her popularity?"
