Chapter 785: Chapter 388: Sister Hehe’s Raging Storm Siblings

Seeing Long Ni’s reaction, Sister Hehe was satisfied. They’d managed to seize the initiative and stun him right from the start.

Then, she pulled Long Ni over and said, "Go on, hug one of his arms. Let me see how it looks."

"Mr. Chen," Long Ni called out, her tone rushed and respectful. But as she looked at his arm, she was too embarrassed to actually take hold of it. After all, they were practically strangers, and the difference in their status was immense.

"What are you hesitating for? Do you have any idea how much I, your boss, have done for you?" Sister Hehe was exasperated. She grabbed Chen Jincheng’s arm and shoved it into Long Ni’s arms, letting him instantly feel her very real and ample assets.

Long Ni felt the pressure of his arm against her, and a faint blush crept onto her pretty face.

The photographers in the studio were all men. Watching Chen Jincheng surrounded by three young women, they felt like they were witnessing some kind of special game. But they couldn’t figure it out. They really couldn’t.

All they knew was that they were jealous.

「A moment later」

Chen Jincheng led them to the coffee shop on the hotel’s first floor. Sister Hehe and Ximeng sat on either side of him, while Long Ni sat next to Sister Hehe, still looking a little nervous.

Seeing her state, Sister Hehe tried to soothe her. "Relax. You’ll be one of us sooner or later, anyway."

Long Ni didn’t quite understand what that meant. But when she thought about the relationship between her new boss and Chen Jincheng, it seemed there really was something going on between them. Why else would she use those three words, ’one of us’?

Chen Jincheng caught Sister Hehe’s hidden meaning and shot her an exasperated look, glaring as if to warn her not to mistake him for that kind of person.

In response to his glare, Sister Hehe just gave him a teasing smirk, as if to say, ’Oh, please. As if I don’t know exactly what kind of person you are.’

Ximeng seemed to sense that the two were secretly plotting something behind her back. She looked at him, about to ask, but he ignored her.

"Didn’t you sign two artists? Where’s the other one?" Chen Jincheng asked, puzzled.

"The other one’s a guy. You interested in him *that* way too?" Sister Hehe teased. "You know how I invested in a few shows with you, right? Well, in one of them, the actor playing the female lead’s father had to drop out unexpectedly, so I sent him to audition."

"Playing the female lead’s father? How old is he?" Chen Jincheng was surprised. "I figured since you signed a beauty like Long Ni, you’d at least sign a young heartthrob for the male artist."

Long Ni was actually quite happy to hear that. After all, what girl wouldn’t be pleased to be called beautiful?

Sister Hehe said bluntly, "If you wanted to call Long Ni beautiful, you didn’t have to go about it like that, did you?"

"Did I?" Chen Jincheng was at a loss for words. ’It just slipped out.’

"You did. I heard you," Ximeng said with a pout.

"..." Chen Jincheng was speechless once again.

’The ones who misunderstand me the most are the women right beside me.’

’What a failure. I’m such a failure at life.’

But Sister Hehe spoke up again. "This artist I signed might be a little old, but I discovered his acting is genuinely excellent. He just lacks resources. He’s only ever played minor parts before. If he had someone backing him, he could definitely become a hit. You’ve got roles, right? Give him a chance."

"What’s his name?" Chen Jincheng asked.

Although he found Sister Hehe’s impulsive behavior completely unreliable, she had already gone and done it. He couldn’t just ignore the situation entirely.

"His name is Zhang Songwen, and he’s a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy," Hehe explained, then added sheepishly, "Actually... I kind of tricked him. I told him you were my boyfriend and that I’d help him land the lead role in one of your major productions. That’s the only reason he agreed to sign."

"Holy shit." Hearing this, Chen Jincheng shot Sister Hehe a thumbs-up. "Sister Hehe, you’re incredible. Truly incredible..."

Seeing his strong reaction, Sister Hehe immediately started apologizing. "Chen Jincheng, I was wrong, alright? From now on, I’ll do whatever you want, okay? Please, just forgive me this time."

Chen Jincheng’s reaction was indeed a bit over the top, but not because Sister Hehe had used him as a front. It was because she had managed to trick *the* Gao Qiqiang! And she had even signed his "sister," Gao Qilan!

’She has no idea what an absolutely incredible thing she’s just done.’

’Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qilan...’

When *Raging Storm* was released in ’23, it completely dominated the entire year. It had an average viewership rating of 2.89%, with a peak rating that broke 4%. It garnered 15 billion online views and captured 31% of the total market share for official online broadcasts. On Tiao Yin, related hashtag views surpassed 100 billion, and the combined views for character-specific topics exceeded 200 billion.

Shows like *Go Go Squid!*, *The Untamed*, and *All is Well* combined couldn’t even compete with this single drama.

Maybe between ’18 and ’24, other dramas had higher viewership ratings or more online views than *Raging Storm*, but in terms of sheer overall impact, not a single one of them could touch it.

It was also the only show he had ever watched from start to finish.

’What was that saying from before I transmigrated? "Who would have thought that after almost two years, Tiao Yin would still be dominated by the Gao family."’

So, he knew *exactly* how incredible Hehe’s move was.

He immediately called Sun Ji. As soon as the call connected, he said, "President Sun, I need you to do one thing for me right now. Go find out the copyright status of the novel *Raging Storm*. We have to acquire the rights, no matter the cost."
