Chapter 222: Chapter 165: Self-Discipline to Meet a Better You? Pfft

She never thought her boss’s promotional stunt for ’Miss Xin Cheng’ would attract so much attention.

Just then, she saw her cousin rush in, a mournful look on her face as she stopped in front of her. “Cousin, you’re the new Miss Cheng! You’ve been keeping me in the dark, and it’s been torture.”

Li Muchen quickly explained, “Yueqing, I only signed the contract with the company today. That’s when I went with the boss to the fitness hall to shoot the video. Please don’t be mad. If you don’t believe me, look at the signing date on the contract.”

As she spoke, she made sure to hand the contract over.

Lin Leqing was a little jealous seeing the intimate video of her cousin and her senior, but she wasn’t truly angry.

After all, she had wanted to bring her cousin into Second-Life Star with her, and now that wish had come true.

’It was just that the video of her senior and her cousin was too intimate.’

’Her senior had never shot a video like that with her.’

’So jealous!’

…

「Kaiyue Fitness Hall.」

As Chen Jincheng worked out, a layer of sweat beaded on his skin. At the same time, he received another notification from the game system:

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Constitution has increased!]

Constitution Points: 423

…

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Constitution has increased!]

Constitution Points: 422

After burning through another two Constitution Points, Chen Jincheng moved over to the Smith Machine and continued his workout.

With the recovery effect that came from consuming Constitution Points and strengthening his constitution, his endurance for exercise was clearly very strong.

He had burned through two Constitution Points in about an hour of exercise, but he could still continue with ease.

Finally, the game prompt appeared again:

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Constitution has increased!]

Constitution Points: 419

Seeing that he had used up another Constitution Point, he got off the Smith Machine, only to find that Li Muchen had returned to the fitness hall. She was standing next to him, looking like she had something to say but was hesitating.

“Something you want to say?” Chen Jincheng asked with a smile.

“Yes!” Li Muchen nodded.

“Work out with me first. We’ll talk again after,” Chen Jincheng said, moving to another machine to start a new exercise.

Li Muchen immediately followed, getting on a machine next to him and starting to work out as well.

She had been doing this for the past few days, truly acting as his training partner and never slacking off.

As it neared noon, Chen Jincheng burned through another 3 Constitution Points.

Constitution Points: 416.

He was about to complete one-fifth of it.

He checked the time, then went to the gym’s shower room. After rinsing off the sweat, he changed into his regular clothes.

Li Muchen was already waiting for him outside. When he came out and saw her, he said, “Let’s go. We can talk about it back at the company.”

“Okay!” Li Muchen nodded and followed behind him. They returned to Second-Life Star together and went into his office.

“Alright, talk,” Chen Jincheng said, settling into his executive chair.

Li Muchen quickly explained, “Boss, you gave me the script for *Famous Detective*, right? The script needs two female roles, and I’d like to recommend someone to play the female companion. Her qualifications are excellent, her acting is much better than mine, and she’s even taught me acting techniques before.”

Chen Jincheng was a little surprised to hear this. ’This must be someone she met back when she was just an extra, right?’

’Based on her description, the person she’s recommending sounds talented.’

’If he wanted to beat the other platforms at their own game in the short-form drama space, he’d need talent. Relying on just Lin Leqing and Li Muchen, two budding drama talents, definitely wouldn’t be enough.’

So, he said to Li Muchen, “I’ll give her an interview, for your sake. You can video call her right now.”

Those three words, “for your sake,” were clearly what Li Muchen wanted to hear. She immediately took out her phone and started a WeChat video call.

A moment later, the call connected, and a voice came through: “Mu Chen, I just finished an audition and now I get a call from you. I saw your video online—you joined that Second-Life Star company, right? That video was so cheesy, it made me want to be the one stretching you out from behind.”

Hearing this woman’s voice, Chen Jincheng froze for a second. He seemed to recall hearing that voice in his past life.

“My boss just shot that video as a promotion, to build some hype for the video we’re filming tomorrow,” Li Muchen explained, then quickly added, “By the way, the script I’m working on has two female roles, and my boss wants to interview you.”

“Really?” The woman on the other end of the video was clearly surprised.

“Yeah, here, meet my boss,” Li Muchen said, handing the phone to Chen Jincheng.

When he took the phone and saw the person on the screen, his eyes instantly lit up.

’It’s her.’

’What a huge surprise.’
