Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 338 - 207: An Unexpected Surprise

Anyone with half a brain could see what was going on.

"Looks like I came at a bad time." Sister Hong gave the two a scrutinizing glance. "I’m just going to the office in the back to grab the company registration files. Just pretend I’m not here."

Back when the boss was just running a small team, this villa had also served as their office. Some of the old documents, including the registration papers for Second Generation Star Media, were still here.

’I never saw the boss bring a girl back to the villa then, but things seem to be a little different now.’ She thought she should find some time to move all those files to the company office to avoid interrupting the boss’s "fun" again.

Hearing Sister Hong’s words, Zhu Ling’s face turned beet red.

She hadn’t expected Sister Hong to show up so suddenly, especially while she was dressed like this.

Chen Jincheng, however, just grinned when he heard Sister Hong. "Sister Hong, don’t get the wrong idea. Zhu Ling wanted to go for a drive last night to clear her head. She just came down with a bit of a fever after, so I brought her back to take care of her. You know I don’t fish in my own pond. We didn’t do anything."

"Taking care of her to the point she’s wearing your shirt?" Sister Hong cut straight to the heart of the matter.

Chen Jincheng said awkwardly, "No, it started raining when we got here, and her clothes got soaked. She had to wear this for the time being!"

"Boss, the only tough thing about you is your mouth." Sometimes, Sister Hong really had to admire her boss.

His level of shamelessness was truly unmatched.

At least, in all her life, she’d never met anyone quite like her boss.

Zhu Ling couldn’t help but let out a giggle when she heard Sister Hong, especially seeing the defeated look on her boss’s face.

But now she understood. Her little sister hadn’t been wrong about the boss after all.

He really was a scumbag.

’He clearly took advantage of me, yet he can still calmly say he doesn’t fish in his own pond.’

’But for some reason, even though he’s such a scumbag, he’s still so likable?’

Chen Jincheng cleared his throat and instructed Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, could I trouble you to buy a set of clothes for Zhu Ling?"

"I oughta..." Sister Hong shot back at him.

After finishing his congee, Chen Jincheng took out his phone to check the online news about the Street Vendor Girl. The hype had indeed surged again, but he also noticed that the story was now spreading across the entire internet, not just on Tiao Yin but on other platforms as well.

Even various news outlets had started reporting on it.

This full-blown explosion was happening even faster than in his other life, likely because Tiao Yin had gotten involved.

At the Coastal City Publicity Association, Fu Zhan saw the even greater hype today and arrived at the association’s office bright and early. He had his people continue to contact the high-speed rail and airline authorities, and soon received news that, while expected, was still shocking.

"Vice President Fu, it looks like even more people are flooding into Coastal City today. The high-speed rail has already added extra trains, but they’re still fully booked."

"It’s the same with the airlines. Any airline that could reroute through Coastal City has adjusted their flights, but the tickets were still snatched up in no time."

The two people in charge of communications reported back, their faces filled with disbelief.

Seriously, the influx of people yesterday had already shocked them. According to the reports from the city this morning, that stream of visitors had a real impact on yesterday’s GDP, causing a noticeable increase.

They had thought that one day of such a terrifying flood of people would be the end of it. Who would have guessed that the influx today would be even larger?

Fu Zhan clenched his fists upon hearing this. Naturally, he hoped this explosive situation would last as long as possible.

’This is all credit to my guidance!’

After telling his people to continue making the necessary preparations, he picked up his phone and saw that in the group chat, publicity associations from all over were tagging him, all discussing the Street Vendor Girl incident.

Full of pride, Fu Zhan sent a message: "Can you guys believe it? This one campaign actually increased Coastal City’s GDP yesterday."

As soon as he sent it, the other publicity associations started replying one after another:

*Shui Publicity Association (Wu): "Holy crap, seeing this first thing in the morning is just painful."

*Ming Publicity Association (Lin): "Lao Fu, is it true you can’t even get a ticket to Coastal City anymore?"

*Jin Publicity Association (Zhao): "It’s true. The whole internet is reporting on this. Everyone knows about Coastal City now."

...

Seeing the envy from the other associations, Fu Zhan felt even more elated and sent another message: "Right now, the Coastal Publicity Association is ready to take on all of you."

This comment sparked outrage, and the other associations quickly chimed in:

*Shui Publicity Association (Wu): "Holy crap, Lao Fu, you’re getting way too arrogant."

*Ming Publicity Association (Lin): "Lao Fu, the hype will probably die down after a day, right?"

*Jin Publicity Association (Zhao): "Yeah, Lao Fu, don’t get too full of yourself."

...

Seeing these replies, Fu Zhan beamed and sent another message to the group: "Everyone, I’m truly sorry to say this, but the number of people rushing to Coastal City today is even greater than yesterday."

The moment he sent that, the entire group chat fell silent.

’Even more?’

’My God.’

’Is this ever going to end?’

But in the following days, the other publicity associations in the group chat simply went numb.

They could understand this explosive situation lasting for two days, but for it to continue for a whole week straight was absolutely terrifying.

And watching Lao Fu from the Coastal Publicity Association gloat every single day was just infuriating.

But the effectiveness of this Tiao Yin publicity campaign truly exceeded all their expectations, even shattering their somewhat outdated worldviews.

Because of this, the various publicity associations began to take action, creating their own accounts on Tiao Yin and forming online publicity teams.

But at the Coastal City Publicity Association, Fu Zhan was sitting in his office with a troubled look on his face.

For the past several days, he had been cheerfully calling meetings, a huge smile on his face every single day.

He truly hadn’t expected a single plan from that Chen Jincheng to produce such a terrifying effect.

That was why he was troubled. Now he didn’t know what he could possibly offer to win the man over.

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing the call was from a city leader, he immediately picked it up. "Sir... Yes, the number of arrivals has noticeably decreased today. However, we’ve made a name for ourselves, and the Tiao Yin account is up and running... Yes, an online influencer helped us plan it. His name is Chen Jincheng... Understood... I know what to do..."
