Chapter 106: Chapter 104: Our Own People Started Fighting

However, as skillfully as Lin Hao was playing this, Chen Jincheng felt he should still remind him. Playing like this was fine for now, but he absolutely must not cross the line, especially after the year ’21.

In the other world, before 2021, there were actresses from the Little Island Country who had opened accounts on Tiao Yin.

Especially that one actress in 2020… she was incredibly active on Tiao Yin. She even did a livestream on A Station to sell her own photo books. Back then, countless nerds worshipped her, showering her with gifts. The bullet comments flooded the screen with “I almost didn’t recognize you with your clothes on!”

But due to policy changes, after 2021, all of those actresses’ accounts were banned by Tiao Yin.

In October of that same year, they were banned from all platforms.

Not just their accounts; they couldn’t even show their faces on livestreams.

At that time, if Lin Hao wanted to have Teacher San Shang on a Tiao Yin livestream, he’d have to get her to retire, become a citizen of their country, and even officially announce he was dating her. Only with that kind of family status would it be possible.

Huh!

Chen Jincheng suddenly thought of something interesting.

It seemed that in the other world, there was a rumor after Teacher San Shang retired that she was dating some rich second-generation heir from Shanghai. The matter caused quite a stir for a while.

Anyway, most people didn’t believe it. They couldn’t imagine a rich heir accepting an actress like her.

But the fact was, this Teacher San Shang wasn’t just an actress. She had also founded her own company and served as its president, had her own popular clothing brand, brand value as an international content creator and model, and other ventures like selling NFTs. A single NFT livestream plus auction could bring in 100 million yen.

Starting in ’22, her annual income reached 200 million yen, the vast majority of which had nothing to do with her films. Her assets surpassed those of the rumored rich heir’s family.

The key was that not only could she make money, but she also had the looks, the body, and the skills. And she was great at role-playing!

What about a girlfriend like that?

As Chen Jincheng thought about this, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Hao on the livestream.

In the other world, the rumor was that Teacher San Shang retired to date a rich heir from Shanghai.

If Lin Hao actually did that in this world, it would be absolutely explosive.

If that really happened, with a little bit of hype, Lin Hao would probably become one of the top-tier celebrities in the online world.

The only question was whether he’d be willing to go all out, and whether his family would break his legs for it.

While he was watching the livestream, Sister Feiye sent him a message: “The video has been uploaded.”

“Okay! Hope it’s a huge hit!” Chen Jincheng replied simply and went back to watching Lin Hao’s stream.

Soon, something even more explosive happened. Teacher San Shang, wearing stockings and an office-lady miniskirt suit, came to take away his empty coffee cup.

The livestream chat immediately erupted into another frenzy.

What reassured him was that Lin Hao was handling it all with a good sense of propriety. He wasn’t shamelessly chasing heat and viral moments without any bottom line.

…

Time passed.

「The next day」

Sister Feiye woke up early and immediately checked her ad video. 3.24 million likes. A wide smile spread across her face.

She knew it would be a hit, but these numbers exceeded her expectations. At this rate, hitting 5 million likes shouldn’t be a problem. If they could generate some hype, it might even reach 6 million.

The only thing was, she didn’t know what angle to use for the hype.

As the video surpassed 3 million likes, her total ad sales on the advertising leaderboard also reached 5.6 million, securing her the number one spot.

Moreover, because her video included Danni Clothing in the title, it also got Danni Clothing trending as a hot topic.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief. It was a good result to show Danni Clothing. At the same time, she took a screenshot of the Danni Clothing trending topic and sent it to Hu Jing with a message: “Congratulations, President Hu!”

Hu Jing had naturally been paying close attention to the ad video since early in the morning. After all, it was directly related to her company’s future product sales. Seeing Sister Feiye’s message, she sent back a smiley face emoji and a reply: “The feeling is mutual!”

After that, she started reading through the comments on Sister Feiye’s video again. She planned to use the feedback to formulate a plan for this Audrey Hepburn Style outfit.

“Absolutely amazing. This is the first time Sister Feiye has been filmed with this kind of vibe.”

“Is this still the Sister Feiye I know? So much class.”

“This outfit on a beautiful woman, plus her expression… why does it feel a bit like the female lead in a certain type of movie? Is it just me?”

“The Black Widow series?”

“Now that the person above mentioned it, I can totally see it. It does seem to have that kind of style!”

“…”

Reading these comments, Hu Jing subconsciously rewatched the video. It really did have that kind of feeling.

She was instantly inspired. ’What’s this Audrey Hepburn Style? It sounds so foreign. Wouldn’t “Stepmother Style” be better?’

But after thinking it over, she sent a message to that advertising grandmaster: “Mr. Chen, what do you think about branding this Danni Clothing outfit as ’Stepmother Style’?”

He was clearly in a league of his own when it came to these kinds of ads; she would feel more at ease after getting his opinion.

When Chen Jincheng got up, he was also checking on Sister Feiye’s video. Seeing its popularity, he was relieved. ’Sister Feiye, my Second-Life Star general, is now in place.’

Receiving Hu Jing’s message, he was in a good mood and replied: “Call it ’Young Stepmom Style’!”

When Hu Jing received the reply, she repeated the phrase to herself twice, then immediately responded: “Thank you, Mr. Chen!”

’Young Stepmom Style’ was indeed a better fit than ’Stepmother Style’!

While Chen Jincheng, Sister Feiye, and Hu Jing were focused on the video, Tiao Yin was also paying attention to the matter.

First thing in the morning, Liu Xian went to find President Han Shangyou to report on Sister Feiye’s latest status: “Sister Feiye’s newest ad video already has 3 million likes. It’s under a contract similar to the Second-Life Star model. Her ad sales have now reached 5.6 million, putting her far ahead in the lead.”

“Therefore, the plan to primarily promote Sister Feiye is definitely sound. Someone like Sister Feiye, who can shoot both low-end ads and high-quality ones like this, is indeed suitable to be promoted as a benchmark ’star’. It also proves that the Second-Life Star advertising model is not insurmountable.”

His words not only asserted the correctness of his own plan but also subtly threw shade at Second-Life Star.

He finally felt vindicated.

’Sister Feiye really came through.’

Han Shangyou had to admit it. Sister Feiye was indeed outstanding and completely met the platform’s requirements for a benchmark star.

Moreover, the fact that she could create an ad video using the same model as Second-Life Star, and be so successful, indicated that Second-Life Star wasn’t so irreplaceable. After all, someone had already broken their record so quickly.

Just then, an employee suddenly reported, “President Han, President Liu, a fight has broken out in the public area of the advertising leaderboard. It’s between Sister Feiye’s fans and Chen Jincheng’s fans. The conflict seems likely to escalate.”

Han Shangyou frowned instantly, pulling out his phone to check the situation. A fight had indeed broken out, and it was a fierce one.

Basically, Sister Feiye’s numerous previous ads had failed to beat a single one from them, and some people had been constantly mocking her for being inferior to Second-Life Star. Her fans had been bottling up their anger, and now that they felt vindicated, they started firing back, targeting Chen Jincheng of Second-Life Star specifically.

The key was that Chen Jincheng’s fans were also fierce. They were harping on the fact that it took more than ten of her videos combined to surpass one from Alone, while just a few of his videos combined were enough to crush Sister Feiye.

Both sides were slinging mud from their respective positions, and it really looked like the conflict was escalating.

This was not a good situation.

Liu Xian, however, was delighted. ’A fight is good. Very good.’

’President Han is already leaning toward Sister Feiye. The more noise and trouble the Second-Life Star fans make, the better. President Han might even be forced to restrict Second-Life Star’s traffic, since it can’t conflict with their strategy.’

Meanwhile, Sister Feiye also discovered that her fans were fighting with Chen Jincheng’s fans. She was completely dumbfounded.

’What are you all doing? Why are you fighting my new boss?!’
