Chapter 722 - 363: Seizing the Opportunity to Splurge on the Girls

Chapter 722: Chapter 363: Seizing the Opportunity to Splurge on the Girls

The Hanfu videos featured product placements, and every girl was involved in the sales. Therefore, aside from the bonuses they were initially promised, this time they would each get a bonus of at least around three million. Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang’s would be higher.

After all, they were the National Goddesses that Second-Life Star was mainly promoting. They had filmed three Hanfu videos with excellent sales data, so their bonuses were larger—a whopping 8 million-plus.

However, Li Xiaoyang didn’t participate in *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties*, so she wasn’t eligible for the two-million bonus from that project.

Xiaoju, on the other hand, was eligible for this bonus as well. In total, she would receive over 10 million in bonuses this time, the most among all the "Miss Cheng" ladies, putting her leagues above the rest.

It couldn’t be helped. With the cold, detached aura from her Innate Widow Sacred Body, she completely dominated the National Style Hanfu niche.

The thing was, the girls didn’t know the exact bonus amounts yet. It was meant to be a surprise.

Time passed. As the sun began to set, the Feidun Hotel grew busy. Today was particularly hectic. The grand ballroom had been booked by Er Shi Xingchen Company for a rather high-profile event.

The crucial part was that they couldn’t afford to slack off one bit for an Er Shi Xingchen banquet. Otherwise, if those internet celebrities posted about any issues online tomorrow, the hotel would be in huge trouble.

For all they knew, those internet celebrities might even start a livestream during the banquet.

So, they had to give it 120 percent.

Many of the guests checking in today also noticed that something was different about the hotel.

Chen Ke was visiting Coastal City with his girlfriend today and happened to be staying at the Feidun Hotel. The moment they walked through the main entrance, they saw a long red carpet flanked by flowers, leading straight into the lobby.

"We get the red carpet treatment just for staying at a hotel?" Chen Ke said in surprise.

His girlfriend immediately pulled him aside and said, "This obviously has nothing to do with us."

As she spoke, she pointed toward the main entrance.

Chen Ke looked over and saw two familiar figures walking in. It was none other than the famous Internet Celebrity Young Master and the big star, Lin Gou!

’Are those two staying at this hotel, too?’

But the Feidun Hotel was a Five-Star hotel, after all. There was no need to put on such a display just to welcome two people. It seemed a little like they were sucking up.

And when the two arrived, dedicated hotel staff were there to greet them and lead the way.

The Internet Celebrity Young Master and Lin Gou walked right past them.

Curious, Chen Ke followed with his girlfriend. When they reached the hotel lobby, they found that the red carpet led directly to the right, where there was also a sign for the hotel’s banquet hall.

’Someone must be holding a banquet here, and the Internet Celebrity Young Master and Lin Gou are here to attend.’

This made Chen Ke and his girlfriend even more curious. After all, for those two to be attending, the host had to be someone important, right?

Curious, he led his girlfriend over for a look and saw a huge, stylish sign at the entrance to the banquet hall: **The Second-Life Star Hanfu Promotion & *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties* Celebration Banquet.**

Now, Chen Ke and his girlfriend understood what was going on.

So it was Second-Life Star hosting a banquet.

Chen Ke’s attention was immediately caught by *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties*. His bros had been discussing the game like crazy in their group chat, and one of them had even gifted him a copy.

The problem was, his girlfriend had seen him get the gift. That was why this trip to Coastal City was partly to appease her.

Suddenly, he felt a resentful gaze on him, followed by his girlfriend’s icy voice. "So, that *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties* your friend gifted you... you’re dying to play it, aren’t you? You said you were taking me on a trip to make it up to me, but you had ulterior motives all along. Since you can’t play the game, you’re planning to just watch those ’Miss Cheng’ ladies in person, is that it?"

Chen Ke instantly broke out in a cold sweat. ’But I really didn’t plan this!’

He really hadn’t known that Second-Life Star would be holding the celebration banquet for the game *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties* at the Feidun Hotel.

’Isn’t this a total setup?’

"The evidence is right in front of my eyes. You really think I’m going to believe you?" his girlfriend snorted.

Speechless at the false accusation, Chen Ke couldn’t hold back. "Liu Ying, what on earth do you want? I haven’t even played the game, and you’re already making a scene! Don’t think I don’t know that you follow Chen Jincheng. Have I said a single word about it?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying seemed even more self-assured. "Chen Jincheng is handsome, talented, has a great body, and is an amazing singer. Me following him just proves I have good taste. Now, if I were following Song Xiaobao or Yue Yunpeng, *that’s* when you should be worried."

"Er..." Chen Ke was so taken aback by his girlfriend’s flawless logic that his anger deflated. He said sheepishly, "I guess you have a point."

Liu Ying then said triumphantly, "So, if you want me to forgive you, there’s a way. Chen Jincheng is definitely going to be at this celebration. Get me a picture with him, and I’ll forgive you. I’ll even let you play *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties*."

"Deal! You said it, no backing out!" Chen Ke immediately nodded, deciding to risk it all.

A commotion erupted at the hotel entrance. Other guests had their phones out, frantically filming the people walking in.

"Hello, everyone." Xue Qian’s distinctive voice rang out as he greeted the hotel guests who were filming.

Chen Ke also quickly pulled out his phone to record a video of Xue Qian. He loved his songs "Joker" and "Actor"—they were his go-to choices at karaoke.

Perhaps because they discovered Xue Zhiqian had arrived, or perhaps because word had spread that Second-Life Star was holding a banquet at the Feidun Hotel, the crowd gathering in the hotel lobby slowly grew larger.

In particular, a good number of players of *My Life’s a Mess, I’m Surrounded by Beauties* who were in the area started showing up.
