Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities-Chapter 162 - 144: I Refuse to Believe I Can’t Take Down Chen Jincheng

As for resources, what good resources could a company on the verge of collapse have? They probably don’t even know what the future trends on Tiao Yin will be.

The key thing was, he knew the ins and outs of their company very well. If he exposed their business model and how they scammed people out of money, he could make them go under ahead of schedule.

’The influencers at their guild definitely don’t want to be exploited anymore!’

’With the same number of fans, why should they earn so much less than influencers from other guilds?’

’Before, they were held back by their contracts, afraid of legal repercussions. But once they find out the law doesn’t even support contracts like that, let’s see if they rebel or not.’

’Since they’ve delivered themselves to my doorstep, it would be a disservice to them not to use this opportunity for some good old-fashioned hype.’

Especially since he was planning to shoot a video of Wang Qiqi’s cover of "Alone." In his past life, her version of this song got 2.55 million likes. With the Internet Celebrity Debut Card, those 2.55 million likes were already guaranteed. He was just thinking about how to generate more hype for her to make it even more popular.

’Isn’t this perfect? A talented girl resisting a corporate machine, getting blacklisted and bullied—that kind of hype is very eye-catching.’

There was also one more crucial point: he wanted to learn from the Ancestral Master of another world and build up his own reputation.

In that other world, there was an incident where a girl from that Ancestral Master’s company was getting flamed online, and he personally jumped into the fray to curse back at the haters.

Video clips of him saying "I protect the girls from my own company" went viral, causing his reputation to skyrocket.

This situation could achieve a similar effect.

With this in mind, Chen Jincheng said to Sister Hong, "Tell them I want to have a call with their boss, Hu Zhicong. I’m willing to talk this over with them."

Hearing this, the light in Wang Qiqi’s eyes dimmed, and she sighed again.

However, this was an outcome she had expected, so there was nothing to complain about. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Although Sister Hong didn’t know what her boss was planning, she took out her phone, started a chat on WeChat with the other party, and relayed that her boss wanted to negotiate with their boss.

「Company CYH, The CEO’s Office.」

Hu Zhicong quickly received a report from his secretary. "Boss, Second-Life Star has responded. Chen Jincheng wants to have a call with you. He’s willing to discuss the matter."

Hu Zhicong laughed when he heard this. "I knew it. Even if Chen Jincheng has a few tricks up his sleeve, an ordinary guild wouldn’t dare to go head-to-head with our Three-star Guild over a single woman. That woman, Wang Qiqi, can forget about ever becoming famous. Give me his number."

Her scratching his wife’s face was a minor issue. But that damn kick she landed on his balls seemed to have left him with a problem. Lately, he’d been finding himself... lacking stamina with his mistress.

His assistant immediately sent the number over.

When Hu Zhicong saw the number, he dialed it without hesitation.

「Second-Life Star.」

Sister Hong’s phone rang right away. She handed it to Chen Jincheng. "That should be him."

Chen Jincheng took Sister Hong’s phone and, at the same time, grabbed his own and pressed the record button.

Only after doing so did he press accept. A voice immediately came from the other end. "Chen Jincheng? This is Hu Zhicong from CYH. You should already know my demands. I trust you’ll make the wise choice!"

Chen Jincheng laughed at his words.

’From the way he spoke, this guy was clearly the type who was flying way too high. I wonder if he’ll still be flying so high in the other world when he’s sent to prison to "operate a sewing machine"?’

He chuckled. "President Hu, I was just about to talk to you about this. It’s just as you say, there are plenty of women in the world. If Wang Qiqi doesn’t want to accept your... casting couch arrangement, that’s on her for not knowing what’s good for her and finding you short and ugly. But there are always others who won’t mind that you’re short and ugly. There’s no need to keep targeting her. How about we just let this go?"

At first, Hu Zhicong didn’t think much of it, but as he listened, he realized something was off. His expression instantly darkened. "Chen Jincheng, what’s the meaning of this? Are you planning to oppose me?"

Chen Jincheng quickly replied, "Of course not! How would I dare oppose your 3-star Guild? After all, you’re so powerful, President Hu. If a girl doesn’t like that you’re short and ugly, you just have to blacklist her!"

"Chen Jincheng, you motherfucker! Just you wait!" Hu Zhicong finally realized Chen Jincheng was messing with him. He spat out an angry threat and hung up the phone.

Chen Jincheng looked at the disconnected call, smiled, and pressed stop on the recording.

Sister Hong gave him a thumbs-up. With this, the attempts to smear Wang Qiqi would fall apart on their own.

Caught in this sudden reversal, Wang Qiqi was flushed with excitement, unable to believe it. Her gaze was fixed on his handsome face, unable to look away.

Back at CYH, Hu Zhicong’s face was grim. The words "short and ugly" had stabbed him right in the heart. ’So that bitch Wang Qiqi rejected me for that reason, and then accepted Chen Jincheng, right?’

Fuck!

’What damn good is being handsome?’

His face dark, he directly ordered his assistant, "Get people to completely destroy Chen Jincheng and Wang Qiqi’s reputations. Fabricate evidence that Wang Qiqi is trying to sleep her way to the top. Better yet, drag all of Second-Life Star’s female artists into this, especially Yinyin and Jiang Xiaobai. Smear them by claiming Chen Jincheng has slept with them, too."

"I refuse to believe I can’t crush them. How dare they be so ungrateful!"
