She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

EVE started as a small studio, but attracted investment and gradually grew to its current size. The company headquarters and factory are located together, and everyone works in the same office. The design department, the prototyping room, the general affairs department, and the sales department are all in the same area.

Xiao Yang, the operations manager, grabbed her notebook and went to find her supervisor. She walked to a private office and asked, "Sister Chen? May I come in?"

The office with the glass door allows a clear view inside. At this moment, only Sister Chen, the head of the operations department, was there, but Xiao Yang still asked her questions first.

"Sure, come in!" After Xiao Yang sat down opposite her, Sister Chen asked, "What's up?"

"Sister Chen, take a look at this." Xiao Yang showed her the account's backend and then clicked on the original video.

"Everyone can see how it looks when worn. This dress is quite ladylike..."

Jiang Lai's voice rang out in the quiet office.

Sister Chen immediately recognized that the girl in the video was showing her company's new products for the season, and she continued watching with great interest.

Even after the video ended, she was still somewhat unsatisfied and said, "Is this the newcomer you found? She did a great job!"

Xiao Yang chuckled twice: "No, Sister Chen, we didn't find this. She recommended it voluntarily. I thought it was pretty good, so I brought it to you to take a look."

"Oh? So you're a self-media personality?"

"Not really? I looked at her profile; it seems like just an ordinary person who posted this video on a whim, and it got pretty good views."

"An ordinary person, huh?" Sister Chen leaned back in her chair, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by showing this to me?"

“Well, a lot of people in the comments section of the video are asking us to find this blogger to do promotions,” Xiao Yang said. “We had considered directly finding an internet celebrity blogger to do promotions before, and we even contacted some people, but it seems that the design department still prefers popular celebrities, so we put it on hold.”

"Is it the affordable luxury brand that uses celebrities as spokespeople?" Sister Chen asked.

"Yes, and then there's the issue of everyday fast fashion. We haven't really had a specific promotional strategy yet, and we've been relying on word of mouth to keep going. I was thinking, since it's everyday clothing and we're targeting the average person, why not find a more down-to-earth way to promote it?"

"Finding suitable online influencers to conduct the evaluation might also be effective."

Sister Chen nodded. "That's a good idea. So you mean we should contact this blogger?"

"Yes, she has around 100,000 followers, which isn't much online. But what I value is the popularity her video generated, and the fact that her identity aligns with our brand's target audience. Plus, being an ordinary person makes her more appealing to the average person. Also, collaborating with her would be cheaper. Shall we give it a try?"

"Have you considered whether this is a temporary or long-term collaboration?"

"I've thought about it. Even if she's unwilling, we can just collaborate this one time, capitalizing on this traffic to promote our products this season. But if we cooperate with her long-term, we can help her attract customers, creating a win-win situation. We can treat her as a regular partner and support her, making the relationship more stable..."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. This isn't something that can be accomplished just by talking about it. Go and write up a proposal first, and then we'll have a group meeting to discuss it."

"clear."

Jiang Lai was unaware of what was happening at EVE. She slept until the afternoon, and it was 001 who woke her up.

"What's wrong? I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to die from exhaustion." Jiang Lai buried her head in the pillow. "I'll never stay up late again, novels are ruining my life!"

She finally finished reading "Peach Blossom Smile" around 5 a.m. before going to sleep, but she still feels mentally foggy.

"I'm here to remind you that you can claim your reward now!" 001 shouted in her mind.

"Couldn't you just give it to me directly? Why did you have to wake me up?" Jiang Lai asked weakly.

"Okay, but if you don't wake up now, you'll have to stay up all night again, which is bad for your health. I don't want a host who has a short lifespan."

"Thank you so much," Jiang Lai said through gritted teeth, then sat up. "Claim your reward, hurry up."

"okay."

Jiang Lai felt a gentle energy sweep over her entire body, so comfortable that she just wanted to lie down and enjoy it. Before she could finish feeling it, the energy disappeared.

001 said, "Okay!"

Jiang Lai said disappointedly, "It's over already? That was fast! It felt pretty good."

"I'm not giving you a spa treatment," 001 retorted. "Don't you want to look at yourself right now?"

Jiang Lai was very rational: "Anyway, my face hasn't changed." She raised her hand and looked at her arm. Her skin was still white, but with a rosy glow. It was no longer an unhealthy, malnourished white, but a healthy, fair, delicate, and radiant white.

She turned on her phone's camera, and even without any beauty filters, she was still incredibly fair-skinned, with smooth, radiant skin that was flawless, without a single blemish, not even pores, let alone pimples.

Jiang Lai touched her face and felt that she looked a little better than before. "They say that fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws, and it's true."

001 said: "The next task has been accepted by default, and the reward is a beautiful nose."

"Huh? You're out of money?"

"Didn't you say you didn't want money? That's why I didn't say that."

"I love you!" Jiang Lai made a heart shape with her hands in the air. "But I haven't had any good material lately, so I don't know what kind of video to post."

"Never mind, I'd better get up first." Jiang Lai sat up in bed and went to wash up.

It wasn't time to leave work yet, and she was still the only one in the house.

"How wonderful! If only school didn't have to start, I could have summer vacation forever." Jiang Lai murmured to herself, then brushed her teeth. Looking at herself in the mirror, her mood improved considerably.

After washing up, it was time for the usual takeout order. Jiang Lai ordered barbecue and cola, and then happily opened Douyin (TikTok).

“Every time I open it, it’s not Douyin, it’s my beauty camera app, you know what I mean?” Jiang Lai said.

001: "I understand."

Ignoring the 99+ comments and private messages, Jiang Lai opened yesterday's video, which already had many comments.

Is this for real? Is this video really that popular? Or is it fake?

—Did EVE buy fans to promote it? I'm so annoyed by this kind of deception. I've been fooled so many times. Buying clothes from them is always a rip-off.

—What! EVE is finally buying fans?! Come find me! @EVEFashion

—Could this be a secret account of some big internet celebrity? Otherwise, how could it have so much traffic?

Last night's video had an unexpectedly high number of views, which even Jiang Lai herself didn't expect. She had been in this world for a while and had been thinking about how to make videos, so she hadn't paid much attention to these kinds of things. She didn't expect that the fashion brand EVE already had a group of die-hard fans. This was a lucky accident that brought more attention to the video.

"Who would have thought this!" Jiang Lai shook her head. "If I weren't the person in question, I would definitely have thought it was just buying followers or a publicity stunt."

Jiang Lai scrolled through the comments and replied to a few.

—Really? Is the blogger being paid to advertise? But the dress is so pretty, I'm tempted.

"I didn't get paid (crying) Please tag @EVE, I need to get paid now! The dress is really beautiful! You can try it on at a physical store, or check out other bloggers' reviews."

—You look so beautiful, sister!

"Thank you, all girls are pretty and cute! You are too!"

—Honey, why don't you post any more sleep-aid videos? I can practically recite the last one from memory. Have you considered making a new one? Or maybe do a live stream? Something like ASMR?

"Sure, but I guess the live stream will just be reading or something like that. How about tonight?"

Jiang Lai is considering doing a live stream tonight, since it seems that more people like her voice. She's thinking of focusing on helping people fall asleep.

The user who received the reply quickly replied to Jiang Lai as well.

—Is it going to be live tonight?! Thank you, honey! Can I read you a fairy tale, honey?

Jiang Lai saw it and replied, "Sure!"

Why can't we read fairy tales to help people fall asleep?

Soon, many people replied to this comment.

—Damn it, why can't I post voice messages in the comments section?

—Today I get to hear my wife tell me stories! Doesn't that practically mean she's with me now?

—Upstairs, wear a bitter tea leaf!

—What time does the live stream start?

Jiang Lai replied, "How about ten o'clock? It's not good to sleep too late."

—Waaaaah, she's so gentle! She told me to go to bed early! She wants to marry me!

—It's not even 10 o'clock yet, how come the person upstairs is already asleep and dreaming?

—Great, ten o'clock is good!

Jiang Lai's takeout arrived. She turned off her phone, picked up the food, and then turned on her computer to search for fairy tales from this world. Thankfully, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty still existed. Jiang Lai felt relieved and then started watching TV series.

After finishing dinner, Jiang Lai watched an episode of a TV series, then exercised for an hour, which she considered a workout, before finally taking a shower when no one was in the bathroom.

The young couple next door haven't made any noise these past two days. Hopefully, there won't be any strange noises tonight either, otherwise she won't be able to continue her live stream.

She didn't want her livestream room to be shut down before she even achieved success.

It's not difficult for a live streamer to lull a girl to sleep; all you need is a good microphone. When Jiang Lai bought her computer, all the accessories were included. Although it wasn't professional equipment, it wasn't bad either.

Jiang Lai didn't plan to show her face during the live stream. She simply found a GIF online, put it on her computer, tested the phone's position, took a video, and then stopped after confirming that everything was fine.

Anyway, everyone's here to listen to the sound, not to look at her. There's no need for lighting or scenery; simple is fine.

At 9:55, Jiang Lai started her live stream early. After confirming that everything was in order, she changed the name of her live stream and then quietly waited for the time to arrive.

At 10 p.m., Fu Changyuan was still in his office. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably be working all night again. He hadn't finished reviewing the reports yet, so he couldn't sleep soundly.

He took a sip of coffee and was about to continue working when his phone beeped.

Fu Changyuan picked up his phone and saw that it was a notification from Douyin.

"Your attention is being broadcast live, don't miss it!"

His attention was focused on only one person: that girl.

Fu Changyuan hesitated for a moment, but still opened his phone and entered the live broadcast room.

The live stream showed an animated GIF of a lively little rabbit.

The comments section is also very active.

—A cute little bunny!

This GIF is cute, but it's also a bit addictive; staring at it for too long can easily make you sleepy.

—Here she comes! I've come to hear my wife tell a story!

Good evening, my wife!

—Wow~ I'm here on time! I can finally get a good night's sleep.

—Fairy tales are like a mother comforting a child, hahaha

Fu Changyuan watched for a while before noticing the title of the live stream: "Sleep aid, fairy tales today."

He was silent for a moment. Was it a fairy tale to be told today? He had mixed feelings.

Every domineering CEO has a less-than-perfect childhood, and Fu Changyuan is no exception.

Grandpa Fu had three sons. Fu Changyuan's father was the eldest son and was always groomed to be his successor. Unfortunately, Fu Changyuan's parents died in a car accident, leaving Fu Changyuan orphaned. He was raised by Grandpa Fu from a young age.

His second and third uncles always thought that since his eldest brother was gone, they would be the heirs. But they didn't expect that the old man was old-fashioned and determined to pass the inheritance to his eldest son and grandson.

Fu Changyuan received an elite education from a young age, and he did not disappoint his grandfather's expectations. He was outstanding from childhood to adulthood. However, as a price, he never enjoyed a childhood like that of an ordinary child, let alone falling asleep while listening to his parents tell stories.

Fu Changyuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. Listening to a little girl tell him fairy tales to lull him to sleep? It felt a bit strange.

Even so, he stayed in the live stream room. He didn't plan to sleep tonight, but it was nice to have a soothing voice to accompany his work.

Seeing the comments section scrolling by rapidly, Jiang Lai chuckled and said, "Stop scrolling, stop scrolling! How are you going to sleep tonight if you're this excited?"

— Waaah, I'll listen to my wife!

—What story will we tell today? The Ugly Duckling? Rapunzel?

—I've already covered myself with the blanket! Now I'm just waiting for my wife to come and comfort me!

— Haha, my wife's voice is so nice, it sounds even better than last time.

Aside from those who posted comments, there were also a few who sent gifts sporadically.

Jiang Lai quickly replied to everyone: "Welcome to my live stream!"

"Today is a bedtime live stream! I'm going to tell my big and little babies a story about sleeping!"

She calls me "baby"! She cares about me!

"Wife, calling you 'baby' feels a bit awkward. How about just calling me 'husband'?"

—Hey girl upstairs, don't go too far. A wife belongs to everyone.

"Alright, alright, today's story is called 'The Little Rabbit Can't Sleep,' so please don't send messages or gifts!"

"Just put down your phone, put on your headphones, close your eyes, and listen to me tell this story!"

—Waaaa, my wife's gift is free, it doesn't cost any money, I'll just give you a little something, it's no trouble at all.

She's so kind, but who understands!

—What an adorable story title! I can't wait!

—Listen to your wife, put down your phone, and she'll be all smiles~

As Fu Changyuan listened to the pleasant female voice echoing in the empty and quiet office, he felt a strange sense of anticipation. At least on this quiet night, he was not alone.
