Chapter 225: Chapter 166: Short Skit Layout! Demon Dance

Chen Jincheng smiled and said, “Sister Hong, I know all that, but this website is very important. Over the next year, you need to attract as much traffic as you can to the site.”

Seeing how serious he was, Sister Hong knew he must have a specific goal in mind, so she didn’t voice any further objections.

After all, her points were meant to inform the boss about the costs involved. Since he remained resolute, it meant that in his calculations, this was something that had to be done.

If she continued to object, she would just be contradicting her boss.

So, she simply nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll handle it as soon as possible. But to attract traffic this way, we’ll need to sign more talent. The more fans our artists have, the more effective we’ll be. It’s just that the company only has a few million in capital right now, which might not be enough to support your plan.”

“Alright,” Chen Jincheng nodded. “When the revenue share for ’Can’t Help Falling in Love’ comes in from Penguin, keep the funds in the company. We have to get the website up first. Make sure the interface is good, especially the mini-program icon and the links. At the very least, it needs to be easy on the eyes.”

“Understood.” Sister Hong nodded. As soon as she left the office, she began contacting technicians to build the website.

Honestly, all the Company MCNs on Tiao Yin just create official accounts on the platform. No one goes to the trouble of building an official website; that’s just a waste of money and resources.

But she was aware of her boss’s strategic vision. For him to be so serious about this, his goal was definitely not simple.

She just needed to make sure she did her part well.

After lunch, Chen Jincheng opened his computer and spent some time reviewing applications sent to Second-Life Star and the bar, selecting promising young women and sending them contract offers.

The company’s artists were the foundation for drawing traffic from Tiao Yin to the website, but Second-Life Star’s roster was still too thin in that regard.

However, once the influencers Sister Hong poached from CYH arrived, and once he promoted a few more himself, it shouldn’t take too long to push for a 3-star Guild.

In the afternoon, Chen Jincheng went back to Kaiyue Fitness Hall to work out. Regardless, he needed to use up all the Constitution Points from the special Fitness Expert Card first.

He spent the entire afternoon exercising, taking only a few breaks in between.

Constitution Points: 412

Chen Jincheng checked the number of Constitution Points he’d used, glanced at the time, and headed straight for the showers at Kaiyue Fitness Hall to clean up and change.

When he got back to the office, Ximeng was already waiting for him, her eyes shining with anticipation.

He naturally knew what that look in her eyes meant.

He had lost a bet to her today and had to spend the night at her place.

So, when they reached the parking garage, the young woman happily hopped into the passenger seat of his Lamborghini.

“Boss, let me treat you to dinner later, okay?” Ximeng said sweetly as soon as she got in the car.

“If you want to treat me, who am I to stop you?” Chen Jincheng chuckled.

“Well, if I treat you to dinner, does that mean you have to treat me to a movie?” the young woman immediately revealed her true intentions, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“What movie?” Chen Jincheng asked.

After all, it was still early, and they couldn’t spend the entire night “exercising.” He didn’t mind indulging her a bit.

“’We Are Lovers,’” the young woman said quickly.

When Chen Jincheng heard the title, he knew it was a romance movie—and one that hadn’t existed in his past life. Naturally, he understood what she was thinking. After all, these kinds of movies were what young couples went to see.

After dinner, the young woman had already bought the tickets, and they headed to the movie theater together.

Perhaps because the movie had satisfied her emotional needs, she, in turn, left him very satisfied when they got back that night.

By the next day, the young woman couldn’t get out of bed, so she definitely wasn’t making it to the office that morning.

After arriving at the office, he checked his Constitution Points:

Constitution Points: 407

He would soon be one-fifth of the way through.

So, after handling a few things, he headed to Kaiyue Fitness Hall again to continue his workout.

「Time passed.」

At Coastal City Airport, a plane landed. Zhang Ao’ai, carrying a small bag, disembarked and went straight to the rideshare pickup area to queue for a car.

She had come this time filled with anticipation.

If she was lucky, this could be the turning point in her life.

The entertainment industry had always looked down on the profession of an online influencer, but as an extra, she was even lower on the totem pole. She had no right to look down on anyone.

Moreover, as the industry evolved, short-form scripted videos were clearly becoming an opportunity. It seemed like many celebrities were even starting to take the influencer route themselves.

She had also read the script Li Muchen sent over. They had managed to film an entire suspenseful plot in just 60 seconds—the tight pacing was truly incredible.

The first thing she did after getting in the car was call Li Muchen.

“Mu Chen, I’m in the car now, on my way to Second-Life Star.”

“You’re already in the car? I’ll wait for you in the lobby of Jinmao Building.”

Before long, the car pulled into the parking lot outside Jinmao Building.

After Zhang Ao’ai got out of the car, she saw Li Muchen waiting at the main entrance.

“Sister Ai.” Li Muchen saw her and came out to greet her, pleasantly surprised.

“Mu Chen, you’ve gotten even prettier,” Zhang Ao’ai complimented her as soon as they met.

Li Muchen was naturally delighted by the compliment and returned it, “Sister Ai, I’m nowhere near as pretty as you. You’re the real goddess here.”

This kind of mutual flattery was common among women.

“Sister Ai, let’s head up to the office!” Li Muchen then said, leading her into the elevator.

Sister Hong was very surprised when she saw Zhang Ao’ai.

She had received a message from her boss yesterday saying he’d found a woman to play the supporting role in Li Muchen’s video.

It was just that this woman’s physical attributes were far too good. Never mind her figure; her looks were stunning, and she carried herself with a sophisticated air.

With looks like that, as long as her acting was decent, she could easily hold her own even in the entertainment industry.

Of course, being able to hold her own was one thing; getting the opportunity to do so was another matter entirely.

After all, even influencers needed backing to get famous, let alone the entertainment industry. She’d heard about its unspoken rules and just how chaotic it was—otherwise, a woman like this would have never come to Second-Life Star.

“Miss Zhang, our boss isn’t in the office right now. You can go over the script with Mu Chen first,” Sister Hong said very politely. “We won’t be filming this video until this afternoon.”

“Okay, Sister Hong.” Zhang Ao’ai nodded and followed Li Muchen to the reception room.

They had both worked as extras and taken acting classes, so they had a good handle on this kind of video shoot. It didn’t take them long to get the hang of it, and they were able to perform their roles with ease.

At Kaiyue Fitness Hall, Chen Jincheng stepped off a machine and checked the Constitution Points data in his mind:

Constitution Points: 399

He had finally completed one-fifth.

He could now clearly feel his constitution improving; he was in excellent condition.

Picking up the phone beside him, he saw the message from Sister Hong. Zhang Ao’ai had already arrived at the company.

He put his phone away and prepared to hit the showers before heading back to the office.

Just then, he looked in surprise at the Life Simulation Game in his mind.

A quest with a golden exclamation mark had appeared. It was another one that would give a special reward.

’My luck has been pretty good lately.’

’I just got that special Fitness Expert Card a little while ago.’

As he walked toward the showers, he had his in-game character accept the quest.

The quest was called “Find Inspiration for a Demon Dance.” It was about a girl from a media company who wanted to perform a viral Demon Dance to attract attention, but she lacked inspiration. The player character needed to go out onto the streets, find videos of people dancing, and use them to provide her with ideas.

The quest was tedious, but not difficult.

By the time Chen Jincheng had hurriedly changed and come out of the showers, the quest was already complete. A reward notification appeared:

[Congratulations on completing the ’Find Inspiration for a Demon Dance’ quest. You successfully helped a media company artist release a Demon Dance video and have obtained one Demonic Dance Heat Card.]

Chen Jincheng immediately checked the description of the Demonic Dance Heat Card. His eyes lit up instantly as two simple Demon Dance moves—the ones that had taken the nation by storm one summer—popped into his head.

Whichever girl he gave this card to would instantly blow up.

It meant he could now arrogantly declare: ’I, Chen Jincheng, can make any girl I want a viral sensation. Not even Jesus could hold her down.’
