Chapter 745: Chapter 373: Xiaohua’s Move! Kuaishou Shares

He hadn’t taken more than a few steps when he noticed a message on his phone. A glance revealed it was from Meng Ziyi—a sexy photo of her in a bikini.

Chen Jincheng subconsciously glanced at the young actress.

Her intentions in sending him such a photo were obvious.

’He had to admit, the young actress had a great figure. Especially her chest—she was one of the few starlets who, like Tian Xiwei, had a deep cleavage.’

’He wracked his brain for details about her. She’d actually made her debut back in 2014. At eighteen, she played a handmaiden in *Martial God Zhao Zilong*. And yes, the *Martial God* himself was played by Lin Gou.’

’After that, she appeared in a string of supporting roles, mostly in ridiculous anti-Japanese dramas, so she never got popular.’

’The role that was supposed to make her famous was Ye Hongyu, always dressed in red. It was a shame that in this world, the author of that novel didn’t exist, so the show was never made. That was why she still hadn’t made a big name for herself.’

’And if I remember correctly from my past life, her contract expired in 2018. She joined Kaiyue Media after landing a role in *Saying Heroes Are Heroes*.’

He understood. She was currently without a contract and wanted to join Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television. As for why she sent him a photo like that... well, a girl who had been navigating the entertainment industry for four or five years knew how to seize an opportunity better than most.

’She must see me as her big chance, huh?’

He remained impassive and walked over to Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang, who were filming a video. He wrapped an arm around each of them.

When the two girls saw it was him, they both leaned coyly against his chest, resting their heads on his shoulders. Seeing this, the cameraman opposite them immediately started recording. If this video got online, it would absolutely blow up. Countless people would be green with envy.

There were so many videos of girls in Hanfu online, but the company’s Innate Widow Sacred Body and Innate Sun Sacred Body were the most eye-catching. And now, here they were, nestled dependently in their boss’s arms.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi’s brow furrowed slightly.

’He didn’t even reply to my message?’

’What does that mean?’

’Am I not charming enough?’

「Time passed, and night fell.」

Jinglan City had reached its most exciting time of day. The city was even more lively at night, with colorful lanterns casting a captivating glow, illuminating the entire citadel.

On the platform before the main hall, the evening banquet had already begun. Chen Jincheng, Wu Teng, Lei Xiaojun, Xue Qian, Wei Yuan, Lin Hao... all of them were invited guests and had taken their seats.

Sister Hong was in a designated area, setting up a phone. The boss was going to do a livestream tonight. After all, with so many people online following Jinglan City and her boss, he needed to show his face and chat with everyone.

A few moments later, the livestream went live.

Chen Jincheng’s fans had been waiting, so they flooded into the stream the moment it went live. Tiao Yin also started promoting it at the same time, and this time, they pushed it out to an audience of tens of millions.

They had no choice. Tiao Yin had to maximize the hype around Jinglan City this time. It wasn’t just about being politically correct in supporting traditional culture for the higher-ups; it was also about creating a new viral trend.

And so, at a speed no one could believe, just moments after Chen Jincheng’s livestream started, the concurrent viewership surpassed one million.

These numbers stunned all the influencers who had come to join the fun, especially those with millions of followers whose own livestreams only pulled in a few thousand viewers.

Such a terrifying number of concurrent viewers in just a few moments was simply suffocating. It made them feel like mayflies gazing up at the vast blue sky when they looked at Chen Jincheng—an utterly overwhelming sense of scale.

At Tiao Yin, Han Shangyou was also looking at the data with a smile on his face. It looked like Chen Jincheng was about to set a terrifying new concurrent viewership record in the influencer world tonight—a number so high it would be despairingly unreachable.

And this would also make Tiao Yin’s popularity skyrocket, crushing Kuaishou.

Just as Han Shangyou was thinking this, he suddenly heard his assistant say with a troubled expression, "President Han, Chen Jincheng’s stream just started, and someone already gifted 1,000 Carnivals!"

Han Shangyou asked, confused, "Isn’t that good news? Why do you look like that?"

The assistant said quickly, "President Han, look at the account that made the gift."

Han Shangyou frowned and looked. When he saw who had gifted the 1,000 Carnivals, he instantly cursed out loud, "Fuck! Are they insane? They don’t have their own hype, so they’re just gonna blatantly leech off of ours, is that it?"

The key thing was, the damn message came with words congratulating Chen Jincheng on successfully promoting and passing on traditional culture. They couldn’t even ban the account, since it was a politically correct action.

"Kuaishou has no shame," Han Shangyou couldn’t help but curse.

The audience in the livestream naturally saw the 1,000 Carnivals as well, and everyone was astonished.

Everyone knew that Kuaishou had been trying to poach Chen Jincheng. Now, to come to Tiao Yin and gift him in front of so many people, even taking the number one spot on his contributors list... wasn’t that a bit too brazen?

「Kuaishou.」

Chen Yixiao was also looking at the data from Chen Jincheng’s livestream. In just that short time, the concurrent viewership had already surpassed 1.5 million.

This kind of speed was unprecedented in the influencer world. It was hard to say if anyone would ever be able to break this record in the future.

Therefore, he knew very well that poaching Chen Jincheng through conventional means was no longer possible.

He turned to his assistant and asked, "The financing strategy team has been assembled, right?"

The assistant nodded. "It’s been assembled. They’ve begun the preliminary data compilation."

Chen Yixiao nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "Tell me, do you think shares in Kuaishou would be tempting to Chen Jincheng?"

This question clearly stunned the assistant.

Chen Yixiao, however, became lost in thought. ’If conventional methods won’t work to poach him, then we’ll just have to use unconventional ones, right?’

Otherwise, with Chen Jincheng standing in their way, their efforts to deal with Tiao Yin would face considerable resistance.

A little while later, the concurrent viewership in Chen Jincheng’s livestream had already broken through two million.

Kuaishou’s gift became the talk of the town. After all, no one had expected Kuaishou to pull a move like this. They could even imagine the people at Tiao Yin twitching with rage.

But soon, the audience noticed another series of continuous Carnival gifts appearing in the stream.

At first, no one thought much of it. After all, they had already been stunned by Kuaishou’s 1,000 Carnivals.

But when the gifts kept coming, nonstop, and they saw the names of the accounts sending them, everyone lost their calm.

Someone opened the contribution leaderboard for Chen Jincheng’s livestream and stared, wide-eyed, at the rankings of the top gifters.

In the past, he had always found the word "prestige" difficult to truly understand. Now, it seemed he was witnessing its very personification.

So this was Chen Jincheng’s prestige in Coastal City.
