Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 291 - 191: What’s This "Save Me" Nonsense? The Fitness Guru’s Debut Stream

...

Chen Jincheng looked at the WeChat message he received, his mind full of questions.

The message was from that guy, Lin Hao. ’But why the hell would that guy need me to save his life out of the blue?’

He replied with a row of question marks: "???"

Lin Hao’s reply came back instantly: "Lao Cheng, when are you coming back? I seriously need you to save my life. There’s a problem only you can help me with."

"Already in Coastal City. Just landed," Chen Jincheng replied, though he was even more confused about what the problem could be. Lin Hao was making it sound very serious.

"Let’s meet at Extreme Bar tonight and talk," Lin Hao replied immediately.

"Mm," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.

’If he can wait until tonight to go to a bar, what kind of bullshit "life-or-death" situation is he talking about?’

Putting his phone away, Chen Jincheng saw that Xiaoju had already found her suitcase. He proactively walked over and took it from her.

Xiaoju was clearly stunned for a moment, then followed him, delighted.

’He’s actually quite considerate.’

She followed him into the parking garage and watched as he walked toward a Lamborghini Aventador with the license plate A6666.

She, of course, recognized the car. It was quite famous online.

Some netizens said this car was on its way to becoming the Lamborghini that had seen the most women in its passenger seat.

Chen Jincheng walked to the front of the car and opened the hood, revealing a small storage compartment.

Xiaoju’s suitcase wasn’t large, so it fit inside.

She was very surprised to see this. ’So a sports car’s trunk really is in the front.’

Finding it novel, she took out her phone and started taking pictures. Then she posted them to her Moments with a playful caption: "Gotta install the engine before driving!"

A car like a Lamborghini was already eye-catching. A girl posting Chen Jincheng and his Aventador on her Moments was even more so.

As a result, her Moments post was immediately flooded with comments:

"Xiaoju got into Chen Jincheng’s car too!"

"Riding in the car by day, getting ridden like one by night!"

"The car’s carrying luggage now; tonight, you’ll be carrying his luggage! Yours is in the front, too."

"..."

Xiaoju felt like she shouldn’t have made that post. ’How did the comments get so dirty?’

She immediately posted a single reply to everyone: "Don’t get the wrong idea, everyone. I just signed with Chen Jincheng’s company, that’s all. Nothing else!"

After posting the comment, she shot a guilty glance at Chen Jincheng.

Then, she changed the post’s settings to make it invisible to Chen Jincheng. ’If he saw it, he’d just tell me to ’stay true to my heart’ again.’

"Let’s go. Get in," Chen Jincheng said to her.

"Mm!" Xiaoju nodded sweetly.

As the car started, she looked out the window the whole way, curious about everything in Coastal City. She would probably be living in this city for a long time.

As she thought about this, she looked at Chen Jincheng, who was driving, and a hint of resentment appeared on her pretty face.

’I wonder what’s going through his head. I followed him all the way back to Coastal City. Is he really not going to give me an out?’

The car soon arrived at the Jinmao Building parking garage.

Chen Jincheng got out, took out Xiaoju’s suitcase, and instructed, "I’ll take you to see Sister Hong to sign the contract first. After that, Sister Hong’s team will arrange for someone to help you find a place to live. Our company has a good relationship with real estate agencies now."

"Of course, Sister Hong has also secured a number of properties to use as dorms. If you find one you like, you can just pick one of those."

Chen Jincheng’s return to Second-Life Star naturally drew the attention of the employees. Everyone looked at him, their faces full of amazement.

Everyone had seen the news online. The boss’s skills were truly shocking and unexpected.

Xiaoju, naturally, was also the center of attention.

After all, the company employees had seen the clip of her being hit on at the airport. She had been with the boss ever since and was now being brought back to the company.

’She must be the new Miss Cheng,’ they thought.

Xiaoju felt the stares. With her background in real estate sales, she immediately faced the crowd with her most practiced smile.

Chen Jincheng took Xiaoju directly to Sister Hong’s office for the contract signing, only to find another beautiful girl already inside, looking over a contract.

Wasn’t that Little Maru from CYH?

She wore a small hair accessory and an off-the-shoulder white T-shirt. She had even intentionally let one of her bra straps slide loosely down her arm—a sexy trend among pretty girls that he wasn’t sure when had become popular.

Chen Jincheng sized the girl up.

Hu Zhicong had pitted her against Wang Qiqi before, and though she had lost, it wasn’t due to a lack of ability. She had lost because of him, the "cheat code."

She was a former girl group trainee, after all.

Frankly, between her and Wang Qiqi, whoever he chose to promote would become a star. In fact, her qualifications surpassed Wang Qiqi’s by a significant margin.

Seeing her in person, Little Maru was much prettier than she appeared in videos, with a much better figure, too.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten that she wanted to join Second-Life Star for his song "Little Dimples." Moreover, to get that song, she had proactively offered to accept his "learning arrangements."

If he had been stringing Xiaoju along before, leading her to misunderstand his intentions, then Little Maru proactively offering to accept his "learning arrangements" was a clear signal that she was willing to accept the unspoken rules.

Having been through the entertainment industry’s girl group training system, she was probably accustomed to this sort of thing.

’As for why she didn’t accept it back when she was a trainee but is willing to now... it’s probably because this self-proclaimed ’favored daughter of heaven’ has been beaten down by reality enough to finally compromise.’

This was something many people who chose this path would eventually go through.

Of course, a major factor was surely the fact that "Can’t Help Falling in Love," which he gave to Jiang Xiaobai, had become a huge hit. Not to mention the songs "Trajectory" and "Girl" he had also written, and the few lines and melody of "Little Dimples" that he had sent her.
