Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 84 Lin Lang Loses His Temper
Mi Xiaofan definitely didn't want Lin Lang to know before she was truly certain.

No normal person would tolerate someone who betrays their own family.

Although most people would be tempted by better opportunities, keeping it to oneself and having it discovered by others are two completely different things.

Mi Xiaofan has always felt a sense of loss, after all, Yun Yiyi is getting better and better, while she herself is much better than before, but it's really not enough.

She still has no money, and the increase in her fan base isn't particularly alarming.

If she had 500,000 or 800,000 followers, her mindset would be better.

"Yi-yi, what should I do?"

She knew that once she offended Lin Lang, she would never have the chance to cooperate with Big Fish Media again.

If a rich second-generation heir were willing to spend money on her, that would be fine, since she originally wanted to be like Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yi sighed and said, "Fanfan, I saw you were very excited just now. There's something I haven't told you yet. Even if that so-called richest man is real, he won't give you five million for no reason. It's not that you don't care. You can stay at home as a nanny. At most, he'll just give you a big promise, play with you for a while, and once he's tired of the novelty, he'll kick you to the curb."

Mi Xiaofan: "..."

Yun Yiyi continued, "Don't think I'm lying to you. What do you think of me? I have over two million followers now. Yesterday, I did a live-streaming sales event and helped Tianshui Duck Industry sell 36 million yuan worth of goods. And do you know what they want me to do? They want me to do two special live-streaming sales events for them every month. I didn't agree. And they were supposed to discuss the marriage between our two families with my parents this afternoon, but now they're not mentioning it anymore."

Mi Xiaofan was stunned and asked, "Then why didn't you agree to their offer? Two live-streaming sales events a month isn't much."

Yun Yiyi: "If I could sell products without restraint, Lin Lang would naturally arrange it for me. Lin Lang said that this kind of live-streaming sales is limited to one session a year at most. Any more than that will only lead to a backlash from the traffic, and I'll never be able to recover. I'm still so young, why should I sacrifice my future for the Qin family? Besides, I just helped them so much, and they immediately turned their backs on me just because I didn't agree... What will I have left after they've squeezed out all my remaining value?"

Mi Xiaofan: "Then... what Lin Lang said might not be true, right?"

Yun Yiyi: "..."

A hint of helplessness crossed her face. "Fanfan, what reason would Lin Lang have to lie to me? He could make money from it himself. Do you think Lin Lang thinks he doesn't have enough? He's already made ten million from the Qin family in just over a month! If he could really make money, would he give it up? Besides, if I don't trust Lin Lang, who should I trust? The Qin family, who turns their backs on us? I've already trusted them! I bought out my contract with Dayu Media and accepted their team, and what happened? My traffic plummeted. If it weren't for Lin Lang's intervention, would I be where I am now?"

Mi Xiaofan was surprised, "Lin Lang earned ten million?"

"It's definitely more than that. Big Fish Media has tons of work. I saw him with another very beautiful and sexy woman recently. They've definitely started working together. There's something I don't know if I should say, but you still don't understand Lin Lang's earning power. He earns ten million a month, how much can he earn in a year? What's with all this talk about being the richest man? Even if he's incredibly successful, can he earn a hundred million a year?"

How old is Lin Lang? How old are those billionaires? As for those second-generation rich kids, just treat them like pigs, that's for sure. They can't do anything but live off their parents' wealth! Sooner or later, Lin Lang will be the real billionaire.

If you're after the richest man, why don't you take the initiative and approach Lin Lang? You have so many opportunities; what are you thinking?

Yun Yiyi's words left Mi Xiaofan speechless.

The fake richest man and the real richest man... are completely different from what she knew.

So she asked, "Yi-yi, didn't you say the Qin family is turning their backs on you? What are you going to do next?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'll just follow Lin Lang. He definitely has the ability to find me other business opportunities. As long as I control the traffic myself, and as long as I'm strong enough, I won't need to depend on anyone. Fanfan, you should too. If you want to be a plaything for those rich people, you have to be prepared to be abandoned at any time. If you want to have what you want for the rest of your life, you can't rely on anyone but yourself."

Of course, this isn't absolute, I'm referring to those second-generation rich kids who are only after your body. In their eyes, your greatest value is your looks and figure. And those things are outdated. If you're lucky, they might have the patience to play around with you for three to five years; if you're unlucky, you might lose your value in their eyes in just a few days. Only in one person's eyes do you possess long-term value…”

"Who?"

"Lin Lang, Lin Lang is training you to be an internet celebrity so that the company can make money. And you can also benefit and make money. Your looks, figure, and skills are just tools Lin Lang is using to make money for both of you. As long as you can make money, Lin Lang won't abandon you. You're still so young. If you take good care of yourself after you make money, you can earn it for twenty years! Twenty years of security is more reliable than anything else, isn't it?"

Mi Xiaofan hesitated and said, "But I don't think Lin Lang cares about me that much. My account only has a few hundred thousand followers."

Yun Yiyi asked, "Isn't it normal not to care? Do you expect Lin Lang to give up other resources and immediately pour all of Big Fish Media's resources into you? What can you bring to Lin Lang then? Can you sell goods through live streaming, or can you make money through live streaming? And do you think you can create ten or twenty million in value within a month?"

Mi Xiaofan: "..."

Yun Yiyi continued, "At least Lin Lang made videos for you and gave you guidance. At least your current number of followers is unimaginable compared to before... At least you're gaining four or five thousand followers every day, and the future looks promising. Fanfan, you're too impatient! You only think about what Big Fish Media can bring you, but you haven't thought about what you can bring to Big Fish Media..."

Mi Xiaofan fell silent.

Sitting on the sofa, I was filled with doubts about my life.

Since she began to witness the nature of humanity, she developed a sense of independent self and then basically stopped engaging in deep thinking, always remaining self-centered.

Naturally, there is no absolute right or wrong; what she thinks is right is right, and what she thinks is wrong is wrong.

Many of Yun Yiyi's words were enlightening for her.

Being a rich kid isn't all that great; it's fraught with risks and even abandonment.

As for himself, he had always lacked understanding of Lin Lang.

In her mind, Lin Lang was just the owner of a small studio, not a tycoon at all.

Seeing that Mi Xiaofan didn't react, Yun Yiyi added, "Fanfan, Lin Lang is actually a very easy person to get along with. When the Qin family said they would help me buy out my contract, I thought they would ask for two or three million, but in the end they only asked for one million two hundred thousand. At that time, my followers had already exceeded one million. Such a popular account, even if it was just selling the number of followers, would be worth no less than one million..."

"Wasn't it 1.4 million?" "I added 200,000 on my own initiative. I didn't think about coming back at the time. I was stupid back then, thinking that the Qin family had the ability to build a better team for me. As it turns out, they didn't. I'm glad I offered more money back then. Even if I hadn't, Lin Lang isn't the kind of person who holds grudges, and we would still have cooperated again. But at least I left myself a way out. Fanfan, you didn't leave yourself a way out this time."

"me……"

Mi Xiaofan's expression became flustered again.

Yun Yi took out her phone, found Lin Lang's number, placed it in front of Mi Xiaofan, and asked, "Should I call Lin Lang and ask if he knows about your conversations with other people? If he doesn't, you'll have to follow Lin Lang's arrangements from now on. If he does..."

"What should I do?"

"I'll ask that guy named Cao something for you, but don't even think about him giving you five million. At most, he'll give you some pocket money, or maybe just treat you to a meal. It's impossible for him to give you more than fifty thousand. I know those kinds of people."

Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaofan visibly shrank back a little.

She stammered, "Yi-yi, if... if Lin Lang finds out, could you put in a good word for me?"

Yun Yiyi laughed and said, "My words are useless. Let's call and ask first. If Lin Lang doesn't know, that's great. If he does know, who knows if that richest man is really willing to give you five million, and he's also very devoted to you. That's much better than following Lin Lang."

After saying that, she pressed the dial button.

Mi Xiaofan's heart was in turmoil.

She even held her breath until the call was answered.

Yun Yi turned on the speakerphone, and Lin Lang's voice came through quickly, "Teacher Yun, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you were hinting at anything when you left?"

"Huh? There was no hint. Didn't Mi Xiaofan want someone to buy out her contract? I can see the chat history. We're just collaborators. If someone wants to spend money, I certainly won't stop them. Did she have Teacher Yun call to inquire?"

Yun Yi glanced at Mi Xiaofan, who was completely bewildered.

"No, she's incredibly slow to react; she still doesn't know."

“Oh, that’s perfect. Ms. Yun, you can talk to her about it. Her contract fee isn’t high right now. The big shot who’s willing to give her a five million signing fee probably won’t mind spending seven or eight hundred thousand. By the way, I also have video footage from five or six episodes here, which I’ll edit and include in the contract.”

Just as Yun Yiyi was about to speak, Mi Xiaofan, who was standing next to her, gave her a pleading look.

Yun Yiyi made a "I understand" gesture and continued to ask, "Actually, she doesn't trust anyone and has no intention of leaving Big Fish Media."

"Then Teacher Yun, please help her with her ideological work. She doesn't have a future at Dayu Media, and I'm also very busy. I don't want to get involved in any palace intrigue. It's just that the account is linked to Dayu Media's phone number. If it were linked to her phone number, she would probably have already secretly signed with another company. We at Dayu Media can't afford to mess with that kind of person."

"Lin Lang, you've misunderstood."

"Teacher Yun, I know you have a good relationship with Mi Xiaofan, but she has absolutely no sense of contractual responsibility. When someone messages her privately asking if they want to cooperate, she says yes, yes, yes. She has no idea how hard it was for Dayu Media to create a persona and image for her. They want to take on business deals for three to five hundred yuan, and they are anxious about business deals for one or two thousand yuan."

She gained 120,000 followers in just twenty days and she's still not satisfied. How many followers does she want to gain? A million? With so little content on her account, even if she had ten million views, could she handle it? She doesn't understand anything, thinking that being pretty makes her superior to others—is that realistic?

Teacher Yun should know this all too well: once you get a surge in traffic, if you don't maintain it, how quickly the traffic will plummet?
We have a good relationship, so we can say whatever we want. My initial plan was to spend a week posting photos to establish a data analytics presence for Mi Xiaofan's account, then start posting dance videos, gradually increasing the volume of daily videos. I envisioned this process taking about two weeks. After that, we could start developing some small storylines, introducing dialogue and sound...

Content is always the most important thing. Without content, what's the use of being good-looking? No matter how sexy she dresses, all she gets is a glance and then a quick masturbation. Who will remember her?

Which internet celebrity with millions of followers doesn't have their own unique characteristics?

I originally had big plans. I wanted to turn her into a social media influencer with millions of followers, gradually building up her persona step by step.

Her stats were all good; if she had just persisted for a month or two, she could have easily surpassed a million followers. But she couldn't even last twenty days; she was just messing around every day.

Teacher Yun knows that I'm the kind of person who never forces anything. If I want to cooperate, I will; if I don't, I'll accept the loss!

Lin Lang couldn't help but start cursing on the phone.

Mi Xiaofan listened from the side, trembling all over.

She never imagined that Lin Lang would devise so many plans specifically for her: millions of fans, tens of millions of fans...

Although she didn't understand big data, the less she understood, the more it highlighted Lin Lang's dedication.

Yun Yiyi quickly said, "Lin Lang, don't be angry. Fanfan is just being immature. I'll find a chance to say a few words to her, and she'll definitely stay at Dayu Media with peace of mind from now on."

"Forget it, I've been busy these past few days, and she's made me a little scared. I can accept cutting my losses now since the investment is small. But what if I spend tens of millions of resources to make her famous, and then she suddenly does something stupid that ruins all my efforts? I'd want to kill her then. It's better to end it now. I've already changed her account password and asked her to have someone come over to talk to me about the buyout contract. I'll give the account back to her then."

Lin Lang hung up the phone.

Yun Yi sighed, while Mi Xiaofan's eyes were already filled with tears.

"There's no other way. I'll call Qin Haiyang and ask if the person you're talking about is real."
