She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Jiang Lai slept well, but someone was quite excited during her sleep.

He He is a headhunter for a media company. His job is to find promising young men and women online and in real life, persuade them to become live streamers, sign them to the company, and then promote and build them into well-known internet celebrities to generate economic benefits.

He He was also drawn to the live stream by Fu Changyuan giving Jiang Lai a gift. He was originally thinking about whether he could win over the wild big shot, but he was unexpectedly attracted by Jiang Lai's voice and stayed in her live stream.

"The company already has many attractive live streamers, as well as comedic ones and emotional bloggers, but it seems we don't have any sleep aids yet?" He He had a thought.

"This streamer is still a newcomer with few fans, but the video data is quite good. Plus, there's a die-hard fan who can send hundreds of thousands of gifts in one night, so he has great potential."

"Her voice is pleasant and she seems to have a promising future in putting people to sleep. She also has a good figure. Even if she's not a beauty, she's not ugly. She hasn't shown her face yet, which is good. At least she retains a sense of mystery and can attract some male fans."

"If we can sign her, even if the traffic from sleeping with her doesn't work, we can still guide her towards becoming a body-type streamer."

He thought about it more and more and felt that this streamer had great potential. He couldn't wait to sign her. In this fast-paced era, how many people dream of soaring to the top? If they can't become stars, becoming an internet celebrity is not bad either, because it's a quick way to make money.

Many boys and girls want to take this path, and He He doesn't think this little streamer will reject him, after all, his company is quite famous in the streamer circle.

He immediately sent Jiang Lai a private message, "Hello, I'm an agent from Fengling Media. I think your image and voice perfectly match our company's requirements for an artist. Would you be interested in learning more? Our company has excellent resources in all aspects. You can check it out. Our company has artists such as xxxxxx."

That makes perfect sense. He's looking for someone, an agent. Artists can also be internet celebrities, no problem at all. Just bring out a few of the company's most recently promoted internet celebrities, and that should be enough, right?

He was looking forward to Jiang Lai contacting him, but he hadn't considered what would happen if Jiang Lai didn't intend to sign with the company. Many other small, unknown companies and guilds shared the same thought and sent private messages to Jiang Lai.

But the result was undoubtedly disappointing for these people, because Jiang Lai had no intention of signing with a company or guild. The next day, when Jiang Lai checked her private messages, she rolled her eyes and, without thinking, replied with "Sorry, not considering it" before closing the message.

"Why don't you agree?" 001 asked.

“I’m working independently now, I can post whatever I want, it’s so easy, why would I need to sign a contract and work for someone else and have to put up with their attitude?” Jiang Lai said, “Look at the messages this person sent me, they seem pretty legitimate, but look at the other private messages, what are they saying?”

"Entertainment live streamer, easy work, no office hours, guaranteed minimum of 8,000, net monthly income of 100,000, all you need to do is chat. Contact xxxxxx if interested."

"It's best not to easily believe in windfalls. Legitimate MCN agencies don't send out such messages. These kinds of things usually come with exorbitant breach of contract fees, and these streamers have no future. Plus, they have to keep producing content, which is actually quite tiring. Small agencies are generally not very good either; they're just scamming young girls..."

Jiang Lai told 001 all this, then slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right!"

001: "About what?"

Jiang Lai: "Although I don't plan to sign the contract, I can take this matter to Fu Changyuan, right?"

"?"

Jiang Lai took a screenshot of the private message interface and then sent it to Fu Changyuan.

Lai, not Lai: Hey top bro! I have a question for you. I'm planning to sign with an MCN, do you have any advice? I feel like you're a very experienced person, and I'd like to learn from your experience.

001 looked at Jiang Lai's message and asked, "What are you doing? And why do you call him 'Big Brother'? It sounds so rustic."

"How kind you are, brother! And you don't understand, men all have a savior instinct. If a young girl asks you for advice, and you don't lend her a hand, she might fall into a trap. Don't you feel like you're her savior?"

Jiang Lai shook her phone. "The role I'm playing right now is that of an innocent girl who doesn't know anything about the world. If Fu Changyuan had any conscience and any affection for me, he wouldn't have watched me jump into the fire."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if he ignores me. I'm not going to sign the contract anyway. I'm just looking for an opportunity to get to know him better. It won't hurt me."

001 was stunned. "You're amazing. Why didn't you send it to someone else?"

Jiang Lai got out of bed. "We already have enough connections with other people. There's no need to go to great lengths to find more."

Jiang Lai woke up relatively early today, around nine o'clock, but her roommate had already left for work. She leisurely went to wash up and then slowly ordered takeout.

Meanwhile, Fu Changyuan was in a meeting in the conference room.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very tense. No one dared to even breathe loudly, as Fu Changyuan's imposing aura was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

"Alright, let's call it a day." Fu Changyuan rubbed his temples. "I need to see solutions to the issues raised in the meeting by next Monday, otherwise your entire department will be unnecessary."

"Understood." "Okay, Mr. Fu."

After everyone had left the conference room, Fu Changyuan still frowned. He was determined to kick out these lazy bums who did nothing but eat and drink in the company sooner or later.

Fu Changyuan took out his phone, which he had already silenced, intending to contact Ye Kongxing, but unexpectedly saw that the girl had sent him a message.

This was somewhat unexpected. Fu Changyuan opened WeChat, looked at the picture and message, and then typed.

Fu: Don't rush to sign the contract. Let me ask someone to help you.

Fu: Are you there?

Jiang Lai immediately replied: Yes, yes!

Fu Changyuan typed: You haven't already signed a contract, have you?

His eyebrows furrowed even more; these guys didn't look very reliable.

Jiang Lai: Not yet! I'm waiting for the top fan's advice! (Little cat shaking its head.jpg)

Jiang Lai: After all, the top fan is now my benefactor (bowing).

Fu: Didn't you discuss it with your parents?

Jiang Lai: Ah, I'm an orphan, I just came out of the welfare home.

Fu Changyuan paused, he hadn't expected her background to be like this...

Fu: I'm sorry, I don't know. Leave this to me, I'll find out for you. If you're interested, you can sign the contract after confirming everything is okay on the other end.

Jiang Lai: Ah! No need! I feel it's better not to sign a contract? I like to be more free, and I'm going to university in Beijing in September, so I probably won't have as much energy for live streaming then.

Fu Changyuan laughed. She really was just a young girl; how could she be so unguarded? Saying everything without a second thought? But the capital? Would she even come to the capital?

Fu: Yeah, it's okay if we don't sign a contract, I support you.

Jiang Lai: That's all for now, I'm going to eat! Big brother, have you eaten yet?

Fu: Not yet.

Jiang Lai: It's already noon, haven't you eaten yet? I won't bother you anymore, go and eat!

Fu: Okay.

Fu Changyuan waited for a while, and after confirming that no more messages would be sent from the other end, he called Ye Kongxing.

"Hello? What's up?" A nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Going out for dinner?"

"Holy crap! This is a rare occurrence. When have you ever gone out for lunch on time? You wouldn't have left the office if I hadn't dragged you out! Did the sun rise in the west today? You actually want to go to lunch with me?"

"I'll give you five minutes. Wait for me downstairs at the company. We'll meet at our usual spot."

"no problem."

When Fu Changyuan came downstairs, he saw Ye Kongxing already waiting. He was leaning against his sapphire blue supercar, flirting with every pretty girl who passed by.

"Don't make a move on company employees, and office romances are strictly prohibited." Fu Changyuan walked up to him and reminded him very seriously.

Ye Kongxing is practically a male vixen. He flirts with women and leaves a trail of broken hearts everywhere. Few girls can resist his sweet talk.

Fu Changyuan forbade him from harming company employees because he was afraid that someone might turn love into hatred and cause a lot of trouble.

Ye Kongxing whistled, "Understood. How could I not listen to you, President Fu? Get in the car! Jiangnan Restaurant recently got a new chef, who is said to be a descendant of the imperial chefs. His cooking is delicious."

Fu Changyuan nodded slightly and got into the car.

Ye Kongxing got into the car, stepped on the gas, and the sports car immediately sped off.

Cars on the road gave way to the flashy sapphire blue sports car, and the two arrived at Jiangnan Tower in no time.

Ye Kongxing swaggered in: "The usual."

The hostess at the door immediately led them into their designated private room.

"The usual stuff, and two more of your new chef's signature dishes," Ye Kongxing ordered with practiced ease, while Fu Changyuan sat quietly opposite him.

After the waiter left the private room, Ye Kongxing said, "I was wondering why you had such a long face even when we were out eating."

Fu Changyuan glanced at him expressionlessly. "You said last time that you wanted to go to Yuanyang?"

"Huh? I knew you weren't here to have dinner with me, you're here to talk about work?" Ye Kongxing said with a bitter face. "I know, okay, I won't go?"

Fu Changyuan said, "No, I mean, I can consider sending you to Yuanyang, but you have to promise not to cause trouble there."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kongxing perked up. "If you really agree to let me go to Yuanyang, then I certainly won't do anything reckless! I'm still counting on you to pay my salary! Besides, even though Yuanyang is a subsidiary, it's still in the capital, isn't it? Do you think I'd cause trouble under your nose?"

"But why did you suddenly change your mind?" Ye Kongxing asked curiously.

“Since you are interested in this entertainment industry, I don’t need to force you to follow me. Besides, I believe that with your abilities, entrusting Yuanyang to you is definitely the right choice.”

“However,” Fu Changyuan paused for a moment, then continued, “do you have any specific ideas or plans on how to develop Yuanyang better?”

Ye Kongxing said, "Is that even a question? As long as you hand over Yuanyang to me, I will definitely make its stock price soar like a rocket."

“Currently, the most promising app under Yuanyang is Douyin. You can focus more on this app after you get there.” Fu Changyuan paused for a moment, then continued, “I don’t need to teach you how to expand the user base, do I?”

"Another point is that we can increase support for individual streamers. Douyin currently offers too many benefits to guilds and MCNs. If we shift the focus to supporting individual streamers, we can save a lot of expenses. In addition, cultivating some streamers who belong to the platform will deepen their dependence on and trust in the platform, which is also good for enhancing user stickiness..."

“I understand. Actually, I noticed this problem before. Some guilds have too many streamers, and if they're not careful, they can easily move to other platforms and take a lot of users with them. I'll keep an eye on this and take some measures.” Ye Kongxing understood what Fu Changyuan meant.

"Yes, the main thing is that the platform needs to have its own brand and its own streamers, so that it can't be easily poached by other video apps." Nowadays, various short video platforms are emerging one after another, and there are quite a few that can compete with Douyin.

"Regarding the support for individual streamers, please prepare a plan for me to review later. Also, you can have your staff keep an eye out for people with potential," Fu Changyuan said casually. "I'll take a look too."

"Something's not right, something's really not right." Ye Kongxing said suspiciously, "You don't happen to have your eye on some female streamer and want to promote her, do you? Otherwise, given your usual personality, you would have just left things to me and wouldn't have said so much to me."

Fu Changyuan did not answer.

Ye Kongxing became interested. "Am I right? You actually have someone you like? And a streamer at that? From what you're saying, a solo streamer? A newbie?"

"Let me tell you, those photos are all filtered with beauty filters. I don't deny there are some beautiful women, but you still need to keep your eyes open! Wait, you're the dignified CEO Fu, what kind of women can't you have? Why are you doing this? You didn't get them cursed, did you?"

Fu Changyuan thought he was really noisy, so he said, "I didn't have anyone in mind. I just think you're a bit unreliable, so I'm giving you a few more words of advice. If Yuanyang's development doesn't make a qualitative leap by the end of the year, you'll still have to stay with me at headquarters."

"Damn it! Are you trying to be a human being?" Ye Kongxing wailed. "You might as well have someone you like! I'll just flatter that little miss and have her put in a good word for me, so you won't keep exploiting me all the time."

Just then, all the dishes were served. Fu Changyuan ignored Ye Kongxing, who was complaining incessantly, and started picking up food instead.

Perhaps later on, the girl can sign a contract directly with the platform and become a real streamer, without those dual contracts or any strange agreements. Would that make her happy? Fu Changyuan thought to himself, but continued eating his meal without showing any emotion.
