Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 305 - 195: What a Coincidence

"Then give it a try." Director Wu wasn’t entirely convinced after hearing Wei Weiwei’s explanation. Even after listening to her reasoning, she still didn’t see anything special about the video.

However, seeing how hard Wei Weiwei was working, she signed off on it anyway.

Wei Weiwei let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t expect her boss to fully understand her point.

All that mattered was that her boss had signed off.

Once the video was uploaded, the data would do the talking.

...

「That night.」

Chen Jincheng had just showered and changed when he got a call from Sister Hong. "Boss, I contacted Radiant Square. They do have plans for a promotional event, but they said they’ve already chosen to work with another influencer and aren’t considering us for the time being."

A muscle in Chen Jincheng’s cheek twitched as he listened to the report.

’They say luck is an indispensable part of success. Looks like there’s some truth to that.’

’The sons of the Xinghe Group’s chairman are all competing in an assessment, and the Little Sweet Heat Card could have brought massive foot traffic to Xinghe Plaza. But Zhao Yuan let his dick do the thinking and missed the opportunity.’

’And now it’s happening again with Radiant Square. They can’t compete with Xinghe Plaza and were planning to work with an influencer, but just as I approached them, they’d already picked someone else.’

’If this isn’t bad luck, what is?’

’Originally, I had no plans to look for other advertising opportunities in Coastal City. Now I have to keep looking at other malls. I guess it’s their lucky day.’

However, he glanced at the time. The matter of finding a partner mall could wait until he was at the office tomorrow. For now, he decided to head out and find Lin Hao at Extreme Bar to see how things were going.

As he was heading out, he sent a message to Little Maru asking for her location.

A moment later, she sent him her location. She was in a coffee shop right inside Jingyuan Building.

’Looks like the place she found is near Jingyuan Building. She must be shopping at the mall there now.’

Chen Jincheng left immediately. He first drove to a nearby hotel to book a room, then headed for Jingyuan Building.

As he reached the street next to Extreme Bar, he saw Zhu Ling arranging her stall. She kept turning to speak to a phone mounted on it; she was probably livestreaming.

’She’s as lively as ever.’

Zhu Ling was indeed livestreaming. Juggling her stall and the stream at the same time kept her busy and fulfilled. Not only was she earning money from selling herbal jelly, but the stream also provided a second income, which meant she could buy a big house for her grandmother sooner.

’It’s just... the boss said he’d help me film a video, but there’s been no word for a few days now.’

’I wonder if he forgot about it.’

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a car horn. Turning her head, she saw a golden sports car. And wasn’t that her boss inside?

’Speak of the boss and he appears?’

The viewers in Zhu Ling’s stream also noticed her strange reaction, and their curiosity was piqued:

"What did Zhu Ling see?"

"What’s got her so surprised?"

"..."

Seeing her viewers’ curiosity, Zhu Ling immediately turned the camera around, aiming it directly at her boss.

Now the viewers understood. Her longtime fans immediately started flooding the screen with comments:

"The Boss has arrived!"

"Oh, it’s the boss!"

"..."

Upon seeing her boss, Zhu Ling immediately prepared a cup of herbal jelly, adding extra toppings and honey. She then ran to his car and handed it to him. "Boss, this is for you!"

Chen Jincheng accepted the herbal jelly, then instructed, "Come to the office tomorrow. I promised to work on a plan for you, remember?"

"Thank you, Boss!" Zhu Ling’s pretty face immediately lit up with joy.

’So the boss hadn’t forgotten.’

After giving Zhu Ling her instructions, Chen Jincheng drove into the Jingyuan Building parking garage and sent another message to Little Maru.

He learned she was in the lobby’s seating area and headed straight there.

Before long, he spotted Little Maru. Next to her was a slightly older young woman whose face and figure were somewhat similar to Little Maru’s.

Several shopping bags, presumably from their purchases in the building, sat on the table in front of them.

Little Maru saw Chen Jincheng and said to the woman beside her, "Sis, Chen Jincheng’s here."

Her sister glanced at the approaching Chen Jincheng, then gathered the bags from the table and left.

She knew what was about to happen between her little sister and Chen Jincheng, so she tactfully decided not to be a third wheel.

As Chen Jincheng approached, Little Maru greeted him with a beaming smile. "Boss!"

"You look beautiful tonight," Chen Jincheng complimented with a smile, handing her the herbal jelly. "I got this just for you. It should be pretty good."

She had clearly put a lot of effort into her hair for the evening. She was wearing a small, off-the-shoulder T-shirt and a pair of ultra-short hot pants, leaving her smooth shoulders completely exposed.

’Crucially, she wasn’t wearing any stockings. An outfit like that was not only alluring and a bit daring, but it just looked good all around.’

’Seriously, I have no idea which shameless designer came up with it, but you could honestly call them a great one.’

"Thank you, Boss!" Little Maru said, taking the herbal jelly and linking her arm through Chen Jincheng’s.

He glanced at her, smiled, and then led her toward Extreme Bar.

Now that he was well-known, he almost always used the back entrance to get into bars. If he were recognized, he’d be mobbed. Patrons would come up to offer toasts, and he couldn’t be rude—they were customers, after all—which would lead to a lot of unnecessary socializing.

Just as he was about to go up through the back entrance, he saw that someone was filming a video. A beautiful girl in a sexy outfit was sitting on the steps, striking a pose. Who else could it be but Cen Ning?
