Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities-Chapter 163 - 145: Dumbfounded! Is This Hammering Him or Helping Him?
Second-Life Star.
Sister Hong asked, "Boss, you made a point to record that. You’re probably not planning to clear things up right away, but want to use this as an opportunity to generate some hype for Qiqi, right?"
"Mhm, no rush to clear the air," Chen Jincheng said with a smile. "A golden opportunity for publicity like this is rare. You can’t waste it when it falls right into your lap."
"True," Sister Hong nodded.
In this respect, she truly admired her boss. He really seemed to be in his element in this industry.
Chen Jincheng, however, turned his attention to the employee information in his mind. He had just received a notification that the girl’s loyalty had increased:
Name: Wang Qi
Loyalty: 100
Status: I will never let the boss lose! The girl seems to have made some kind of resolution.
Her loyalty actually hit 100.
That was quite a surprise.
As Chen Jincheng thought about this, he glanced over at Wang Qiqi. He found the girl looking back at him, but her gaze immediately darted away when their eyes met.
He, however, beckoned her over.
Wang Qiqi immediately trotted over obediently and stood by his side, awaiting his instructions.
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry about what’s online. Whether you’re a cover artist or an original artist, in the end, your talent is what speaks for itself."
"Mhm, mhm!" Wang Qiqi nodded. Right now, whatever her boss said, she would do.
"Now, take a look at this song, ’That Person’. I’ve already downloaded the sheet music for you from the song portal. Try singing it and see if it suits you." Chen Jincheng, sitting at the computer, pulled up the score for "That Person" for Wang Qiqi to see.
Wang Qiqi immediately looked at the score and played the song at the same time.
The conditions in the office were limited, so she could only sing along to the computer’s backing track without any equipment:
"I’ve loved someone before!"
"I’ve hated someone before!"
"I’ve thought of being alone before!"
"I’ve forgotten someone before!"
"..."
The beginning of the song had a calm and lonely rhythm.
After Wang Qiqi started singing, Sister Hong and Chen Jincheng exchanged a look. This girl really had a strong talent for singing.
Soon, the chorus arrived:
"Maybe in a flurry and a hurry, searching in others’ views on love for a vague image of a love that may or may not suit me..."
The song’s chorus was a continuous, fast-paced section that placed high demands on the singer’s abilities, but Wang Qiqi sang it very well, and it sounded great.
Chen Jincheng was relieved. The girl would sing this song just as well as her counterpart in the other world.
He then gave an order to Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, tell Lao Chen to take a team and get things set up at the bar. Then, help Qiqi record a cover video."
"Okay." Sister Hong nodded and immediately called Lao Chen to make the arrangements.
But just as she hung up, she received a report from a company employee. She frowned and immediately said to Chen Jincheng, "Boss, CYH has already made a move against you. A large number of trending topic bloggers and paid commenters have started dropping exposés to slander you."
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng also took out his phone to search. Sure enough, he found many videos slandering him.

Who is Wang Qiqi? The Newest Miss Cheng to Fall Victim to Chen Jincheng’s ’Unspoken Rules’!
Rumor Has It, Second-Life Star’s Yinyin and Jiang Xiaobai Were Also Subjected to Chen Jincheng’s ’Unspoken Rules’.
Someone Claims to Have Seen Jiang Xiaobai and Chen Jincheng Getting a Hotel Room Together!
There’s Reason to Suspect the Newly Popular Miss Cheng, Ximeng, Was Also Subjected to Chen Jincheng’s ’Unspoken Rules’.
Ximeng was also looking into the matter. Seeing a video that implicated her, she just pursed her lips.
’As if they need to suspect.’
"Boss, what should we do?" Wang Qiqi, however, was getting anxious. From her perspective, the narrative was spiraling out of control and was already affecting her boss and others at the company.
"Is that all they’ve got?" Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but laugh.
Their desire to attack was strong, yet they just had to attack him where his defenses were strongest.
Seeing the girl’s anxious expression, he said, "What else can we do? They’re saying I subjected you to the ’unspoken rules’, so let’s openly and brazenly flaunt our intimacy for them to see. It just so happens you need to change for your cover video anyway. I’ll go with you to the women’s clothing section upstairs from the bar and buy you an outfit for the video."
As he spoke, he stood up and offered his arm to the girl. Wang Qiqi understood his intention, reached out, and hooked her arm through his. She couldn’t resist sneaking a couple of glances at his side profile.
Chen Jincheng then instructed Ximeng, "Let’s go. You can film a video of us later, then send it to the editing department to post on our two lifestyle accounts."
"???" Ximeng froze when she heard this command.
’I’m filming?’
’Filming a video of the boss and this Wang Qiqi flaunting their intimacy?’
’Am I the third wheel?’
’Has my Miss Cheng trial card really expired?’
But the boss had given an order, so she hurried to follow them out of the office.
When they reached the Lamborghini in the parking garage and she saw the boss let Wang Qiqi get into the passenger seat, she asked blankly, "Boss, what about me?"
Chen Jincheng directly took out the keys to a BMW 5 Series and tossed them to her. "You drive that BMW 5 Series and follow us."
With that, he got into the Lamborghini.
Ximeng was speechless.
’So when the Miss Cheng trial card expires, you don’t even get to sit in the Lamborghini’s passenger seat, huh?’
She could only press the key fob, and when a BMW 5 Series lit up its headlights, she immediately walked over, got in, started the car, and followed the boss’s Lamborghini.
Inside the Lamborghini, Wang Qiqi was already looking around the car’s interior like a curious baby.
It was her first time in such a luxury car, and more importantly, it was her boss’s luxury car. Her heart began to race again, and she secretly took out her phone to snap a selfie.
