Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 61 Giving Yun Yiyi a Way Out

"Didn't we already sign the contract?"

“I know, just like in the entertainment industry. You’re worried that the people you’ve worked so hard to cultivate will run away. If you just want photos, I can give you anything, so you don’t have to worry about me being disobedient in the future.”

Lin Lang: "???"

Damn it, does this guy even know what he's doing? What's the use of a bunch of photos? I don't want to go to jail.

Have you shown your photos to anyone else?

Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaofan quickly said, "No, no, absolutely not! I haven't even had any intimate interactions with boys. Although I've been in a relationship once, we only held hands and broke up after a few days."

Lin Lang: "..."

That's even more ridiculous!
If Mi Xiaofan had sent the photos to someone else, then if the photos were leaked in the future, that person might not be able to trace them back to her.

Now that the photos have been leaked, it's absolutely not unjust for me to be arrested.

“Teacher Mi, the bond between us is based on the contract, not on some photos.”

"Then...why can't I post videos with my account?"

"Because... never mind, I'll start posting videos tomorrow."

Lin Lang was too lazy to explain. It had only been a few days, and Mi Xiaofan was already so anxious.

Even when we had absolutely no data, we still managed to stick with it for a long time.
Hearing Lin Lang say that the video would be released tomorrow, Mi Xiaofan was overjoyed. She grabbed Lin Lang's hand and said, "Thank you, boss! I will definitely work hard!"

"Okay, just do your best. I won't take any more photos; I'll delete the ones from my camera right away."

"Huh? Boss, do you think it's not enough? I... can go even further."

……

Lin Lang had considered that someone might offer themselves to him, since the desire to admire the strong is the same for both men and women.

As long as you are strong enough, you will never lack girlfriends.

It's like one of his colleagues from a past life who made millions and then went back to his hometown county to start a small company. He hired a recent female college graduate as the company's receptionist and part-time assistant to him.

Actually, nothing much happened at the company; he just spent all his time going out drinking with his friends and having girls drive him around.

He bought a car worth several hundred thousand yuan, got drunk every day and had girls take him home. He didn't have to do anything. He could win over a girl in about three months. If the relationship didn't go well, he would just switch to another one. The cost was extremely low.

At that time, Lin Lang realized that people are like big data; everyone has some labels, but many of these labels can only be seen by themselves and not by others.

You think you're a good man, but nobody believes you.

Even with a label like "rich," different ways of expressing it will elicit different levels of approval from others.

Different people may have different understandings of it.

If you squander tens of thousands at a bar, people will only think you're a sucker and at most attract a bunch of gold diggers. But if you run a company and pay people tens of thousands in salary, people will think you're a savior.

There's only one way to best showcase a label.

Focus on building a career!
Whether inside or outside the system, as long as one succeeds, great scholars will naturally come to debate with them.

Lin Lang had no romantic feelings for Mi Xiaofan. There was no other reason; she was just too eager for quick success and he worried that if she ever encountered any setbacks, she would write long essays online.

My company is just starting out and can't afford any setbacks.

After all, Xiao Huijun has been collecting taxes on this for eight hundred years.

So after leaving the residential area, Lin Lang immediately deleted all the photos from his camera.

Fortunately, Mi Xiaofan didn't ask for the photos. If she were to expose him later, as a Chinese man, he really wouldn't be able to clear his name.

After coming out, Lin Lang originally planned to have a meal at Bing Ning's place, but then Yun Yiyi called.

"Lin Lang, are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together."

"No problem, what would you like to eat?"

"How about we grab some barbecue? The place Mi Xiaofan really likes." "No problem."

Lin Lang knew that there was a problem with Yun Yiyi's data, but Yun Yiyi was a very good partner, and he would definitely be willing to meet her.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Lang met Yun Yiyi at a restaurant called Yunding Barbecue in the county. To his surprise, Qin Haiyang was not with them.

After finding his seat, Lin Lang asked, "Where's Qin Haiyang?"

Yun Yiyi said helplessly, "I'm going home."

She wasn't in high spirits, partly because of her account; traffic had dropped drastically in the past few days, and she hadn't gained any new followers, but had even started to decline slightly.

This situation occurring on an account with such strong upward momentum is enough to prove just how incompetent the new team Qin Dong arranged for her is.

After class this morning, she gave up filming and had Qin Haiyang drive her to the county town so she could talk to Lin Lang.

On the other hand, there's the issue with Qin Haiyang.

She knew Qin Haiyang was simply lustful at first sight, but she didn't expect that guy's interest would last so long.

She asked him to come over and have dinner with Lin Lang today, but he refused, making an excuse that he had something to do at home. He dropped her off and left.

It didn't even take ten days at most.

The decline in traffic and the changes on Qin Haiyang's side cast a shadow over her hopes of marrying into a wealthy family.

She knew exactly how to resolve this matter and also knew what Qin Haiyang's father valued most about her.

Once you lose your popularity and traffic, you will definitely be abandoned.

"in argument?"

After sitting down, Lin Lang asked a question.

Yun Yi took a deep breath. "We didn't argue. It's just that I feel this path is much harder than I imagined. Their personalities are fickle. When they think you have value, they'll fawn over you. But once they lose that initial attraction, they're no different from roadside weeds."

"It's not that exaggerated, don't overthink it." Lin Lang was not in a position to comment on this matter.

“I didn’t think too much about it. At first, I thought that since they were good to me, I would definitely be good to them in return. Even though I knew from the beginning that the team couldn’t possibly be better than you, I still agreed to their request, thinking of saving them some money…”

Qin Dong forced her to buy out the contract, partly to control her and partly to save money.

Yun Yiyi has been very cooperative.

The data over the past few days has been very poor. Not only has Qin Dong been indifferent, but Qin Haiyang has also become much colder than before.

"That team is pretty good in some ways, but they don't have a strong sense of the market and have no idea what short videos should show."

"Okay, let's order first, see what you'd like to eat."

"Didn't you say before that Mi Xiaofan likes to eat at this restaurant? Just order whatever she likes to eat for me."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

Has Lin Lang succeeded?
He had been a great help, constantly hinting to Mi Xiaofan to take the initiative to get closer to Lin Lang.

As Mi Xiaofan's classmate and best friend, she knew Mi Xiaofan's personality all too well.

In short: big breasts, no brains.

She's too easily led by the nose. She's only 19 years old and hasn't had much real experience with society. In a few more years, who knows how badly she'll be deceived.

However, she also knew that Lin Lang would definitely not actually date Mi Xiaofan. This guy was very capable and would definitely not be so compatible with others.

Lin Lang deliberately brought up Mi Xiaofan to give Yun Yiyi a way to speak. She had been pacing around the door for a while, talking about her own predicament without saying a word about how to solve it.

She even treated me to a meal; the meaning was quite clear: she wanted to come back.

Of course I'd welcome it.
