Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 65 An Intentional Encounter

As dawn broke and the sky gradually brightened, Song Ci noticed that more and more students were doing their morning exercises on the playground.

It wasn't appropriate for him and Shen Sisi to stand in the middle of the track, but the matter of the book fan group piqued his interest. "Let's talk as we run," he said.

"Okay, okay." Shen Sisi nodded happily, feeling a little smug. What a cold and aloof male god, he's taken the bait right away.

Song Ci and Shen Sisi ran side by side, his pace slow, trying to keep Shen Sisi up to his pace.

"Do my book fans keep in touch with each other privately?" What Shen Sisi just said is similar to a celebrity fan group!

After careful recollection, Song Ci remembered that the Super Girl competition would become a huge hit the following year, with countless fans forming QQ groups to vote for their favorite singers, and subsequently, various celebrity fan groups emerged.

"Yes, but Little Lion seems to be busy these days. He can't reply to me on QQ in time, so the group creation has been delayed."

Shen Sisi seemed to have thought of something interesting and suddenly giggled, glancing frequently at the man walking beside her.

"Song Ci, did you know that your female fans have increased dramatically ever since your photos were posted online by your classmates?"

I've been following the Zhiyi Bar these past few days. Ever since "The Wind Rises" and his photos were posted on the forum, he's gained a lot more fans, both for his music and his looks. He's very popular, and the Zhiyi Bar is thriving thanks to Song Ci.

"Please let me know once the QQ group is created. I'd also like to join and interact with fellow book lovers."

Sometimes the mass line can have unexpected results. If Miss Liu were around, she could have just invited people to join the group after it was created. Unfortunately, Shi Ye was filming in Donghai and needed to focus on training. Song Ci didn't want to distract her, so she had to trouble Shen Sisi.

Shen Sisi was more than happy to do so, and took this opportunity to get Song Ci's contact information. She took out a small, exquisite pink cell phone, smiled broadly, and said, "I brought my cell phone this time. Say the number again."

Song Ci chuckled, realizing that Shen Sisi still remembered what happened last time, and readily gave her phone number.

Shen Sisi was overjoyed. "I called you back. Remember to save my number. By the way, Song Ci, can I ask you for a favor?"

Song Ci felt a headache coming on, thinking this girl was a bit clingy. He frowned and asked warily, "What is it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression? You should know that men willing to help me could line up all the way to the school gate," Shen Sisi said arrogantly, hands on her hips.

"What is it you want to say first?" Song Ci's tone returned to its usual calm.

Shen Sisi thought to herself that this man was really cold and indifferent, not at all approachable.

"Could you prepare a few signed books? I was thinking of giving them to your fans after the book club is set up. It's a shame that you haven't held any book signings."

"Okay, I'll have the publisher prepare the book, and I'll let you know after I've signed it."

Shen Sisi was willing to interact with fans on his behalf; it was just a matter of signing a few books, a simple favor. Song Ci was happy to oblige and readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Sisi exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Everyone will be so happy to hear this news. Song Ci, I've always wanted to ask you, why don't you hold book signings?"

"Look at Guo Jingming and Han Han. Although they aren't as famous as you, they frequently hold book signings, which boosts sales and builds a fan base—a win-win situation."

After thinking for a moment, Song Ci decided to tell Shen Sisi the truth, "I was too busy with my studies before, and now I'm too lazy to organize it. I hope everyone will focus on my work." "Shen, thank you for helping to organize the book club event. Let's talk another day. I'm going to practice now."

After thanking her, Song Ci suddenly accelerated, leaving Shen Sisi far behind in just a few seconds.

Shen Sisi didn't chase after them, but happily hummed a song. Everything should be done step by step, and she had already successfully completed her goal for today.

After Song Ci left, Shen Sisi no longer needed to stay on the playground. She usually did yoga and rarely did high-aerobic exercises like running. When she returned to the dormitory, her roommates had just gotten up and washed up.

"Mumu, where did you go so early in the morning?" Her roommate Wang Jing asked casually as Shen Sisi applied her makeup when she returned.

"What else could he be doing? He must be going to see Song Ci again. It's so early today, he should have met her by now." Sun Jingyi put down her manuscript and joked with a grin. She was practicing her broadcasting.

Shen Sisi first poured a glass of water from the water dispenser, took a few sips to replenish the water lost from sweating during her run, and then said unhurriedly, "I'm going to see my idol."

"Who is your idol?" Sun Jingyi asked curiously. Shen Sisi had been busy going to the playground to meet Song Ci every morning this week, so why did she suddenly go to see her idol who appeared out of nowhere today?

Shen Sisi said with a smile, "It's Song Ci. I finally met him today. We chatted for a bit and I finally got his phone number. He gets up really early. He's an extremely self-disciplined person."

Wang Jing was surprised. "How did he become your idol again?" She thought to herself, "My good roommate only met him once, and now the school heartthrob has become my idol. There must be a story behind this."

"What happened? Tell us quickly!" The last roommate, Wang Tong, came out of the bathroom and asked curiously.

“Yes, yes, tell me.” Several roommates pestered Shen Sisi, all with gossipy expressions.

Shen Sisi looked mysterious, building up the suspense before smiling and saying, "I've discovered one of Song Ci's identities."

Seeing everyone staring at her, Shen Sisi didn't keep them in suspense and bluntly said, "He is Yun Zhiyi, the famous bestselling author I admire the most!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jingyi exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, Mu Mu, really? Song Ci is Yun Zhiyi? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Sun Jingyi is also a die-hard fan of Song Dynasty poetry, and she found it hard to believe what Shen Sisi said at first.

Shen Sisi understood Sun Jingyi's feelings. "It's true. You can go and browse Zhiyi Bar. Some users have already exposed his identity. I chatted with him today, and he admitted it himself."

"Tell me which post it is! Yun Zhiyi hasn't released a new book lately, so I haven't been browsing the forums." Sun Jingyi said, about to turn on her computer to go online.

Looking at her excited, flushed roommate, Wang Tong spread her hands and said, quite puzzled, "Look how happy you are, is it really that big of a deal?"

Sun Jingyi nodded seriously, her expression earnest: "As for it, you don't know Yun Zhiyi's talent. I never imagined that he would be the most handsome guy at Song University. Ah, he's handsome, talented, young and rich. He's practically a real-life Prince Charming."

"Jingyi, ignore her. I have a plan and I need your help."

Shen Sisi told Sun Jingyi about what she had just discussed with Song Ci. Since Little Lion wasn't around, she planned to ask Sun Jingyi for help in setting up the book club.
