Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities-Chapter 107 - 105: For Real?

The flame war erupting on the ad rankings naturally caught the attention of other influencers. Many of them hadn’t expected to see such good drama today.

But everyone knew something like this was inevitable. It was orchestrated by either Sister Feiye or Chen Jincheng.

The reason was simple, of course—no one does anything without something to gain. Anyone could see that Tiao Yin had created this ad ranking to promote a flagship star. As for who that would be, they would probably pick from the top of the chart in this first week.

Currently, only Second-Life Star and Sister Feiye stood a chance.

As for the others, another influencer had worked hard to land five ad deals. But with each ad only paying a 200,000 fee and generating a total of 1 million in sales, they definitely had no chance. At most, they could just get a bit of exposure.

So, under these circumstances, it was inevitable that the two sides would start going after each other.

Many influencers, eager for a good show, even started fanning the flames to provoke the fans on both sides.

Having been on the internet for so long, Sister Feiye naturally noticed that people were fanning the flames. Her fans and Chen Jincheng’s fans were in a heated war of words, throwing all sorts of profanities at each other.

Moreover, her fanbase consisted mostly of a niche group of female followers, since her ads were all for cosmetics and women’s products.

As a result, when her fans started cursing people out, they sounded quite a bit like shrews.

She felt the situation was starting to spin out of control. She was just about to instinctively contact her team members to get them to rein things in.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw in the team’s group chat that her team members were already asking her how to handle the situation.

She was about to instinctively give orders, but on second thought, she decided to call Chen Jincheng first.

Although she hadn’t signed the contract yet, the matter also involved Second-Life Star, so it was best to consult her future boss first.

「In the rented villa.」

Chen Jincheng, of course, also knew about the flame war between his fans and Sister Feiye’s.

He had already received many private messages from his long-time fans on Tiao Yin and WeChat.

’This whole thing is... complicated.’

However, he realized, ’this is also an opportunity for some hype. Maybe I can use this to get Sister Feiye’s ad video as popular as it was in my past life.’

After all, for a specially planned ad video like this, he was charging Sister Feiye a 50% service fee. The more popular it got, the more his company would earn.

Just as he was thinking about this, he received a call from Sister Feiye. He answered, and her voice came through, "Do you know about the fans fighting?"

Chen Jincheng chuckled. "I do."

Sister Feiye immediately asked, "What should we do now? Some influencers are just watching the drama unfold and are even egging it on."

Chen Jincheng said, "Isn’t this also a great opportunity for some hype? It might even push your ad video to a whole new level of popularity."

Hearing this, Sister Feiye’s interest was piqued. "What’s the plan?" she asked.

Chen Jincheng explained, "You’ve seen my ’dating script’ streams, right? There’s always a girl next to me, and we do some flirtatious things occasionally."

Sister Feiye teased, "You mean like ripping stockings and getting your stream banned, right? So, should I wear stockings for you to rip?"

She already understood what kind of hype Chen Jincheng was talking about.

Chen Jincheng chuckled. "I’ll come to your hotel to pick you up and take you to the office to sign the contract with Second-Life Star. We can stream on the way. Imagine this: our fans are at each other’s throats, and then they suddenly see us doing a ’dating script’ stream together. Don’t you think that would be explosive? Won’t the hype be huge?"

"I’ll put on my makeup right now!" Sister Feiye said before decisively hanging up.

Chen Jincheng immediately got up and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After changing his clothes, he went downstairs, where Sister Hong had already bought him breakfast.

Seeing him come down, she asked, "Have you heard about your fans and Sister Feiye’s fans fighting?"

"Mhm," Chen Jincheng nodded. "I’m going to pick her up in a bit and do a ’dating script’ stream with her. Once our fans realize we shot that ad together, there’ll be nothing left to fight about. In fact, it’ll be a great way to generate some hype for her ad video."

"Sister Hong, could you head to the office first and get the contract ready? I’m taking her straight there to sign the employment contract."

"Okay!" Sister Hong nodded.

Actually, she had already prepared the contract when Sister Feiye first came to Coastal City. After all, she had immense confidence in her boss when it came to ads for women’s apparel.

Chen Jincheng sat down and leisurely ate the breakfast Sister Hong had prepared, in no rush to head out.

’Are you kidding me? Since when does a woman put on makeup that fast?’

’He would have plenty of time if he went over after finishing breakfast.’

So, he only left after finishing breakfast. He got into his BMW 5 Series, took out his streaming phone, and started the livestream.

Because of the uproar over the ad rankings, many fans were paying close attention to the matter. So, the moment he started his stream, fans flooded into the chat. The viewer count climbed rapidly, and many were drawn in by the drama, assuming he had suddenly gone live to address the ad rankings issue. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Among them were quite a few of Sister Feiye’s fans, lurking and waiting for an opportunity to strike. If Chen Jincheng said the wrong thing on stream today, they were ready to clip it and drag him through the mud.

As a result, the chat was instantly filled with questions about the ad rankings and his stance on the matter.

His long-time fans in particular, already fired up from arguing with Sister Feiye’s fans, seemed to be raring for a fight.

Chen Jincheng didn’t want to talk about it right now. He just smiled and said, "Bros, let’s not talk about that mess on stream. I just met a new female friend, and I’m on my way to pick her up!"

His words immediately redirected his long-time fans, who all started to mock him:

"What the hell, another ’female friend’?"

"Another ’female friend’ you’ve already slept with, right?"

"Is it Yinyin, Xiaobai, or that junior?"

"..."

As the car pulled away from the villa, Chen Jincheng started casually chatting with his viewers.

Before long, someone gifted him a Rocket and asked a question: "Cheng, do you think material things are important in a relationship between a man and a woman? Is it impossible to have love without money?"

This was basically a trap question. Any answer would offend one group or another; there were always people with firm, opposing stances on whether material things were important or not.

So, he could only resort to a joke: "Bro, love without money is like a pile of loose sand, and love *with* money will get you nabbed by the police!"

"LMAO, damn right the police would get involved!"

"Haha, Cheng knows the deal. Sounds like he’s been arrested before!"

"Wasn’t there that one simp bro who got arrested by the police not long ago over money stuff?"

"Which simp bro?"

Just as they were discussing it, two "Tiao Yin No. 1" gifts popped up. It was none other than the familiar ’No More Simping Bro’.

The guy requested to join the call again. ’This dude always has the weirdest problems.’

No More Simping Bro: Cheng, what do I do? I’ve fallen for someone else’s girlfriend. She’s so beautiful, and I don’t think her boyfriend deserves her.

"Uh..." Chen Jincheng was stunned. ’This guy really doesn’t play by the book.’

’The relationship problems this guy runs into are always so bizarre.’

He could only tease, "Simp bro, since you think the guy doesn’t deserve her, they’re bound to break up. So don’t be in a hurry. Just let someone else raise your future wife for you for a couple more years!"

His words made many viewers in the stream pause for a second. It took them a moment to realize what he meant.

In today’s society, there are too few "factory-sealed" women. How many men’s wives aren’t someone else’s ex-girlfriend?

Aren’t their wives’ ex-boyfriends just helping them raise their future wives?

Amidst the chatter, Chen Jincheng drove the car into the parking garage of the hotel where Sister Feiye was staying.

After parking the car, his stream’s viewer count had already surpassed 50,000 and was still climbing. At this rate, breaking 60,000 wouldn’t be a problem.

He also took out his phone and dialed Sister Feiye’s number, naturally putting her on speaker.

Sister Feiye’s voice came through. "Are you here?"

"In the parking garage."

"I’ll be right down."

The viewers in the stream naturally heard Sister Feiye’s voice and could tell it belonged to a girl with a gentle, pleasant voice. With a voice like that, she definitely couldn’t be ugly.

However, the lurking fans of Sister Feiye were a bit confused. That voice sounded very familiar.

Chen Jincheng waited for a moment, and then he saw Sister Feiye emerge from the hotel’s underground parking garage elevator. He was immediately captivated by her outfit and instinctively raised his streaming phone to aim it at her.

Sister Feiye appeared on the livestream’s screen, and in that instant, the entire chat exploded. All the viewers reacted as if they had just seen a ghost.

’Is this for real?’
