Chapter 314 - 198: Old Driver Chen Jincheng! Can It Really Increase GDP?

...

Jinmao Building.

Zhu Ling walked in from outside, followed by her younger sister, Zhu Jingjing.

"Sis, is the boss really going to plan a video for you?" Zhu Jingjing asked, her face full of excitement.

She knew that any artist whose content was personally planned by the boss would end up getting popular. All the Miss Chengs had already proven that. But wasn’t her sister also a Miss Cheng? It’s just that she hadn’t taken off yet. Now, after all this waiting, the boss was finally going to create a plan for her.

She knew she didn’t have a chance of catching the boss’s eye, so she could only hang around Elephant to ride his coattails and leech off his popularity.

But if her sister got famous, she could leech a ton of popularity from her.

Zhu Ling looked at her sister and shook her head. Honestly, her sister seemed more excited about this than she was. It was the same with being an influencer—Jingjing was the one who worked harder.

The two entered the elevator, and Zhu Jingjing suddenly asked, "Sis, have you slept with the boss?"

"What?" Zhu Ling was dumbfounded when she heard her sister’s words.

Zhu Jingjing immediately whispered, "Sis, I’m your sister. You don’t have to hide it from me even if you have. After all, everyone online says the Miss Chengs have to sleep with the boss. Otherwise, why would he suddenly decide to promote you? Sigh, if only the boss was willing to sleep with me, too. He’s so handsome!"

"What on earth is going on in that head of yours all day?" Zhu Ling said, exasperated, as she poked her sister’s forehead. "That stuff online is all slander against the boss. I can tell you for a fact that he’s not that kind of person. He barely even messaged me on WeChat before."

She could confirm that, and she had every right to say so. The boss was an absolute gentleman.

"Sis, even if you haven’t slept with him before, what if the boss wants to sleep with you later?" Zhu Jingjing immediately asked.

"Huh???" Zhu Ling was actually stumped by the question.

’How am I supposed to answer that?’

It would be a lie to say she didn’t have feelings for the boss. After all, he was so exceptional. In her eyes, she had never met anyone more outstanding.

But sleeping with the boss... he wasn’t her boyfriend.

Just then, the elevator reached the 8th floor and opened with a DING, pulling her back from her thoughts. She decided to simply ignore her sister’s question.

When they arrived at the company, she walked straight to the boss’s office, while Zhu Jingjing tactfully found an empty streaming room to hang out in. She could rest in there even if she wasn’t live.

Chen Jincheng had just finished the plan. He had sent a copy to Lin Hao and Wei Weiwei and had just printed one for himself when he saw Zhu Ling at his office door.

She knocked. "Boss, may I come in?"

"Yes, you’re just in time." Chen Jincheng smiled and gestured for her to sit down, then handed her the plan. "Take a look at this. I just tailored it for you. It should elevate your ’Street Vendor Girl’ persona to the next level."

Zhu Ling took the plan, puzzled, and began to read. A moment later, her face was filled with confusion. This didn’t seem like a normal short video shoot. It was more like a Q&A with a reporter.

When she saw the dialogue section, she was certain that was exactly what it was.

It’s just that a plan like this deviated from her understanding of Tiao Yin videos. But that wasn’t important. She believed that any plan the boss gave her would definitely make her popular in the end.

Just then, Sister Hong also walked in from outside. "Boss, you’re aware you’ve gained the title ’Coastal City’s Number One Dreamboat,’ right?"

"Mhm," Chen Jincheng nodded.

Sister Hong immediately said, "Right now, the username ’Coastal City’s Number One Dreamboat’ is held by Yijin. If possible, you should talk to them about acquiring the username for the company. It would also be best to contact Tiao Yin to get it verified."

As she said this, her tone was full of admiration. After all, the strategy for the ’clipper groups’ was the boss’s idea. He had seen their potential from the very beginning.

So, under her guidance, the clipper groups editing Chen Jincheng’s content now consisted of at least 200 people daily.

The ’Coastal City’s Number One Dreamboat’ topic managed to take off this time largely thanks to those clipper groups. If the members of those groups hadn’t all shared that video from Yijin, it wouldn’t have blown up like it did and gotten so much attention, no matter how lucky they were.

This was a testament to the boss’s foresight.

"I’ll find some time to talk to Yijin about it," Chen Jincheng nodded.

Sister Hong quickly added, "There’s one more thing. It would be best to do a livestream at noon to meet your new followers, using ’Coastal City’s Number One Dreamboat’ as the title."

"Mhm," Chen Jincheng nodded.

Going live to solidify the hype as soon as you gain traction was a common practice.

Afterward, he turned to Zhu Ling and said, "You’ll be my co-host at noon. It’s not a romance stream. Your persona isn’t suited for that. Just a normal conversation. But we might play around with some memes and make some risqué jokes, so be ready to adapt."

"Oh, okay," Zhu Ling immediately agreed.

With the plans settled, as noon approached, Chen Jincheng left the company with Zhu Ling to get some lunch.

When they got to the parking garage and she was in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini Aventador, he took out the phone for streaming, set it up on its mount, and started the broadcast.

Thanks to all the buzz that day, the number of viewers in Chen Jincheng’s stream exploded the moment he went live, quickly surpassing 50,000.

Moreover, the screen was filled with floating "little stars"—a signature move of female users, judging by the accounts sending them. It seemed the effect of gaining over 2.8 million new female fans overnight was already showing.

His die-hard fans were clearly surprised to see Zhu Ling:

"Is it finally Zhu Ling’s turn?"

"I thought Cheng was going to forget about Zhu Ling."
