"ah??"
Chen Jiang put down the razor in his hand, looked at his phone screen, and exclaimed in surprise, "You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"So you actually listened to your cousin's ridiculous suggestion?"
"I have no choice..." Shen Meiyu was also very frustrated: "The problem is that all the women they introduced me to are strange, and I can't just randomly pick someone I don't like, can I?"
"So you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"The only suitable person I could think of right now was you... I just went along with my family, had a couple of meals with them at most, and then I told them you were busy, and then after the New Year I told them I broke up with them."
Shen Meiyu said, "It won't be too much trouble for you, and if you don't agree, I'll have to go out and hire someone."
If you really push me too far, I'll just come out of the closet!
"Then you'd better save your breath..." Chen Jiang wiped his face with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Seeing you like this, it seems like I can't refuse to help you. Okay, I agree, but you have to tell me exactly how you want me to help. I'm quite busy here lately, so I need to arrange my time in advance."
"Very good!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory reward after this is all over!"
A hint of joy finally appeared on Shen Meiyu's face.
"Forget about the payment..." Chen Jiang shook his head. "Just treat me to a meal after this is all over."
"Don't worry!" Shen Meiyu patted her chest, beaming. "Eat wherever you want. I'll save you a month's salary; you can eat as much as you want for a month, not just one meal!!"
"Okay, it's settled then. Contact me in advance when you need me so I can arrange the time."
"Okay, it just so happens that a relative of mine from abroad is coming back to China these days. My family is going to host a welcome dinner for him. I'll let you know then, and you can just show up!" Shen Meiyu had already planned this out: "But you'll have to show some respect. My family actually has high standards. Although we wouldn't call it materialistic, if you don't perform well, my mom will probably have some complaints, and that will just cause me trouble."
Chen Jiang picked up his phone, gave the camera a thumbs-up with his other hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make you look good!"
Shen Meiyu smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, then I'll be waiting to see how you make me look good!"
Chen Jiang smiled slightly: "Then I'll hang up now, we'll talk about it later."
"Okay, goodbye!"
After hanging up the call, Shen Meiyu took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, put her phone in her pocket, stretched, and felt much happier after sensing that things were starting to look promising.
But on second thought, this dinner party was actually not easy to handle.
Putting aside whether the two can convincingly portray the characters, it's not easy to fool her family.
Like her uncle, although he doesn't hold a high position, he has been handling cases for decades and has arrested more than seven or eight murderers. If he hadn't made any preparations, he probably would have been exposed in just a few words.
"So, I need to think of a way to prepare the necessary materials in advance, at least to ensure there are no logical errors!"
"As long as I'm not exposed on the spot, even if I'm found out, I can just stubbornly deny it... I can attack or defend as I please. If this succeeds, I should be able to relax for a while."
Shen Meiyu's plan became clearer and clearer.
"And if everything goes smoothly and no problems arise, I can even ask Chen Jiang to return to the stage. We can be together for two months, have a fight for two months, make up for two months, then break up and make up again... Maybe we can do this for a year or two without any problem."
In a great mood, Shen Meiyu didn't forget Liu Lulu, the one who proposed the plan. This little girl was quite difficult to deal with, and she couldn't afford to catch her in this situation, or she would definitely blackmail her.
So it would be best to just bribe her beforehand.
Thinking of this, she picked up her phone again and sent Liu Lulu a message: "Lulu~~ Your New Year's money has doubled this year!"
Liu Lulu: "???"
Seeing that Shen Meiyu had hung up the phone, Chen Jiang also casually put his phone aside.
Outside the restroom, Nina, who had overheard him finish his phone call, came over and asked curiously, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just company business." Chen Jiang certainly wouldn't reveal such a thing; that would only cause him trouble. So he casually made up an excuse and changed the subject, asking, "Are my clothes ready?"
"Ready, darling." Nina didn't press for details and nodded. "Mary and I are leaving too. If you're in a hurry, don't bother seeing us off; we can go to the company ourselves."
"It's alright, there's no rush, and it's not far away."
Chen Jiang walked out of the restroom and changed into some more casual clothes with Nina, along with a scarf that Nina had bought for him. Then he took the two women downstairs.
I got in the car and drove towards the company.
Chen Jiang first dropped the two women off at the modeling agency, then turned around and went to an office building a kilometer away. After entering, he saw Xiao Ya waiting at the door.
Upon seeing him arrive, he walked over and said, "Boss, Mr. Xu and Karl are already waiting for you in the office."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
He said he'd be right there, but Chen Jiang unconsciously stopped in his tracks. His eyes swept over Xiaoya, and he suddenly laughed, "What's wrong? It's been several days, and you're still not in a better mood?"
Isn't that your fault?
I was just starting to develop feelings for you, and then you told me you already have a foreign model girlfriend, which completely defeated me!
Xiaoya muttered to herself, but of course she wouldn't say it out loud. She casually replied, "Women always have a few unhappy days. I haven't neglected my work. Boss, you're being too nosy!"
"Okay, I'm being nosy... but if you're really feeling unwell, just tell me, and I'll give you two days off to rest properly."
Chen Jiang didn't reveal her thoughts, but just smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and walked towards the office.
Xiao Ya, who was behind him, rolled her eyes at his retreating figure.
Pushing open the office door, I found Xu Ruirui already sitting in front of the computer, looking at something, with Karl standing behind her, the two of them talking. There was also a young girl sitting on the sofa.
She wore a trendy short skirt and a printed shirt, her hair was tied in a bun, and she had a small, oval face with fair skin.
Upon seeing Chen Jiang walk in, he quickly stood up to greet him: "Boss."
This is the first contracted employee of Chen Jiangxin's company. Her real name is Wen Hong, and her online name is Bai Kai Shui. She was selected by Xu Ruirui from amateur models. Her figure is not suitable for being a model, but her face is very photogenic. She has a small head and delicate features, and has a kind of pure first love feeling.
"Good morning."
Chen Jiang greeted her, and Xu Ruirui beckoned him over: "Jiangzi, come and take a look at the backend data for our video from yesterday. See how it is."
Carl stepped aside, and Chen Jiang walked to Xu Ruirui's side, bending down to look at the screen, which displayed the background data of the dy account.
Several days have passed since he officially joined Douyin (TikTok). Since posting his first video, and with the influence of some online trolls, the popularity that was originally scattered across the entire internet has begun to gather towards his Douyin account.
The most direct impact is that Chen Jiang's account has grown from 0 to nearly 1.8 million followers. He has posted three videos, which have a total of over 10 million views and nearly 8 million likes.
To be honest, this data is naturally incomparable to that of celebrities on VB.
However, this has indeed almost completely drained the existing traffic of dy, which was only recently launched.
In the video released yesterday, Chen Jiang also tried to generate traffic by introducing a new character, a receptionist played by Bai Kaishui.
His appearance lasted less than two seconds, just a brief appearance when Chen Jiang was changing clothes... It can only be said that people at that time had never had a good life.
Especially with the planning of Xu Ruirui and Karl, Bai Kaishui, who fully demonstrated her good looks and temperament in the video, attracted a lot of attention even though she only appeared for a moment.
In just one night, his account went from zero to 80,000 followers, and the number continues to increase as the videos become more popular.
Xu Ruirui was quite pleased because the data showed that the new company's development direction was not problematic for the time being. It was possible to achieve such results after just a short trial, so they could increase their investment in this area next.
"Jiang Zi, what do you think?"
"Hmm, we could definitely increase the investment a bit."
Chen Jiang nodded, but after a slight pause, he said, "But I don't think this method can last. Riding on my popularity can get a good start, but if you want to reach a million fans, you need to have your own unique characteristics."
"And if nothing unexpected happens, I don't think I'll be able to shoot videos for a long time, so I'll have to find something to replace my data."
"I'm aware of this."
Xu Ruirui was indeed prepared: "To be honest, I spend almost all of my 24 hours a day on Douyin, except for sleeping and eating. I've watched at least 80% of the videos with high likes, if not all of them."
"My assessment is that both the filming and production are of rather poor quality."
"While some of these videos attract attention due to their low quality, their popularity is too reliant on luck and cannot be consistently replicated. Therefore, we must remain committed to a high-quality approach, leveraging my resources in the modeling industry and Carl's resources in the photography industry to continuously produce high-quality content. This is the only way to solidify our foundation."
"Xiaobai is the first one we'll try, and she already has a fan base, so let's start defining her persona and style. I'm confident she'll quickly surpass one million followers!"
Chen Jiang laughed: "As long as you know what's going on, sister-in-law."
Then he looked at Carl, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Carl, how's it going? Having a good experience at the company, right?"
"It's actually quite good... all thanks to your appreciation, Mr. Chen!"
Carl was quite happy... Although he initially joined Chen Jiang's company by accident, and somewhat forced, he only realized how great it was after starting work there.
His family is quite wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford photography.
But in the end, he was just busy by himself, running around taking random photos. He couldn't find a real target to focus on.
Now, things are really going well. Not only is he the planning director and chief photographer here, but he's also surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls every day, and he gets excellent treatment. When he tells his friends about his situation, they're all incredibly envious.
"Haha, as long as you're happy here." Chen Jiang was indeed quite satisfied with him. He didn't care what kind of lousy photographer the other was before, but now he felt quite good about him. Talented people are hard to find anywhere, and the other was indeed a genius in the photography world. Even the things he took casually were better than those of other photographers. There was no doubt about the other's role in the early stages of the company.
"If you're willing, let's renew that contract we signed before when it expires. The benefits will be the same, and I'm even planning to give some shares as a reward to the first batch of veterans. You'll definitely get a share!"
"Really, Mr. Chen?"
Carlton's eyes lit up. He had become a shareholder through his work. He had always heard people say how tough it was to work, but his job was so great. He was so lucky to have such a great boss!
"Don't worry, I never lie."
Chen Jiang answered with a smile, his tone not particularly firm, but he was indeed serious.
After all, he wasn't short of money, and even if he were, the returns from this company wouldn't be as good as what he gained from R&F Group.
The establishment of this company was not only a matter of following the trend, but also a wish he had when he was a boss back when he was a laborer. Moreover, it was his first time starting a business, so he was very motivated. Therefore, he didn't care about money as much as spiritual satisfaction, as long as he didn't lose money.
Xu Ruirui was also listening nearby, glancing at Karl, but didn't say anything.
After the two finished speaking, she switched the screen with her mouse and said to Chen Jiang, "By the way, I've noticed that besides Douyin, other platforms are also copying your products quite a bit. Relying on your popularity, the data seems to be pretty good... I'm going to report all these accounts first, and then set up an official account."
"It's not about gaining a lot of followers, but about maximizing your visibility and traffic."
"What do you think, Jiang Zi?"
"You can make these decisions, sister-in-law." Chen Jiang nodded in agreement. Xu Ruirui was quite capable, and more importantly, she had truly worked her way up from the bottom. She was very hardworking and had been working overtime until late at night almost every day since the new company was established.
It made him a little embarrassed.
In the end, all his persuasion was useless. Talking to Zhang Jie had no effect, and seeing how motivated she was, he stopped trying to persuade her. At worst, he would just set up a rest room for her, just like his office in Shanghai, so she could rest whenever she was tired.
"Then I'll have someone take care of it later."
Xu Ruirui nodded, then asked, "So what are your plans for today?"
"Today's plan is to film the next few videos ahead of schedule." Chen Jiang glanced at his watch, then turned to Karl and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll have other things to do for the next two days, so I won't be coming to the company as often. Let's get the rest of the work sorted out in advance."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you... If you need anything, just contact me."
