Chapter 192: Chapter 165: Being the Daddy of a Popular Internet Company

Inside the cinema, Cheng Zhu listened to Zhang Qiqi’s words and hadn’t expected his fame in the online celebrity circle to be even greater than he had imagined.

He knew that a series of bold operations he orchestrated while running “Persistent Visit” would make him famous online.

Especially in the “online yellow” circle.

In fact, he might have indirectly boosted these people’s incomes.

In this circle, he was like a god!

He was the man countless internet roasted chickens worshiped!

It was he who created many new trends and pointed out the bright paths for them!

But in the regular online celebrity circle, his fame was indeed a bit larger than he had anticipated.

This was exactly what Cheng Zhu had hoped for.

He needed this fame, as it would help with his future development.

In his past life, he started with e-commerce, then moved on to a live broadcasting company.

At first, he dealt with Taobao models.

Later on, it was interactions with female online celebrities and live broadcasters.

At this stage, if he were to start an online celebrity company, he would definitely flourish.

Zhang Qiqi’s premonition wasn’t wrong; if Cheng Zhu truly wanted to promote her, really willing to become the man behind her, she could indeed leap from a small online celebrity to a tens of millions level online celebrity!

He was confident and had the assurance for that!

But, after finally getting a chance to be reborn, was he really going to just follow the old path of his past life step by step?

Cheng Zhu decided to go big!

“Instead of starting an online celebrity company, why not become the daddy of all online celebrity companies!” That was Cheng Zhu’s thought.

——He was going to create a social networking platform!

Many of the bold operations he did before weren’t just to drive the sales for “Persistent Visit”; there was definitely a bigger ambition hidden in the shadows.

If it was just to sell QQ underwear on Taobao, tossing out such trump cards so early would be a total waste.

This was why he had to make Weibo officially certify him as the “founder of the Pure Desire trend.”

At the moment, Cheng Zhu looked at Zhang Qiqi and smiled, “Oh? You’re saying this person is the owner of the QQ underwear shop?”

“Yep, that’s right.” Zhang Qiqi nodded.

She didn’t forget to add, “Speaking of which, it is precisely because of this identity that there are even more discussions about him in the circle, making him an even hotter topic.”

Cheng Zhu felt there was some truth to her words, haha!

Selling QQ underwear was indeed a legitimate and serious business, but it was definitely something that could become a topic of conversation after meals.

“How well does his QQ underwear sell?” Cheng Zhu asked knowingly.

“Definitely well.” Zhang Qiqi responded without even thinking.

“Then this guy is really impressive!” He even began to boast about himself, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

Daddy is really awesome!

“Tsk! Are all you boys interested in this kind of stuff?” Zhang Qiqi threw in a digressive comment on purpose, starting a chat with him about that kind of saucy topic.

“If you want to talk about me, then just talk about me. No need to mention ‘all you boys,’ I can shoulder it alone,” Cheng Zhu replied.

The internet-famous school beauty smiled and started praising him again, “But I don’t think you’re any less capable than that person.”

Cheng Zhu murmured in his heart, “Nonsense, because that person is me!”

But out loud he said, “Is that so?”

“Yes, I think you’re also particularly amazing in terms of online marketing. Like the dance video from the perspective of a passerby you shot last time, it was very creative.” She was really sincere.

Lately, some dance bloggers online started imitating that style of shooting.

Even Mr. Zhu of Hang City’s biggest online celebrity company, Ancient Mountain Culture, found this model very interesting, perfectly capturing some online users’ psychology!

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of Ancient Mountain Culture, but this company is quite interested in signing me. They contacted me at the beginning of the year. After the photos and videos you took of me went viral online, the boss even thought I had signed with another company, thinking there was a mastermind from a company behind me.”

As she spoke, she pointed at Cheng Zhu, suggesting that he was the mastermind.

“Ancient Mountain Culture?” Cheng Zhu was aware of this company.

He had met Mr. Zhu in his previous life.

But in his memory, by that time, the online celebrity company had been on the decline for many years.

This boss had made his fortune through Weibo, but he hadn’t caught on to several subsequent trends.

Now, Weibo was indeed in its prime, but later on, Weibo celebrities would somewhat fall behind.

But for now, this guy could be a good resource to tap into.

The two of them stood and chatted for another five minutes until it was time to enter the theater.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Yesterday, Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu sat in the VIP hall, where there were only a few sofa seats.

Zhang Qiqi had bought couple seats in the main hall, and since it was National Day, it was particularly crowded, and they had to queue up for ticket checking.

After entering the theater, they arrived at the couple seats at the very corner of the last row.

“Why did you buy the two seats all the way in the back?” he asked on purpose.

“I initially bought the ones in the middle, but I thought I had already paid, and it turned out I hadn’t. By the time I realized, there weren’t many good seats left,” Zhang Qiqi had already prepared her excuse.

“I’m sorry, but inviting you to the movies only to sit in such a poorly-located spot,” she also didn’t forget to apologize.

“It’s fine,” Cheng Zhu dismissed with a wave of his hand after sitting down.

He had just seen the movie yesterday and really didn’t care if the seats offered a good view or not.

But as he waved his hand, Zhang Qiqi suddenly raised her right palm and brought it close to Cheng Zhu’s waving left hand.

The two hands were about ten centimeters apart.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

“Your hand is so big,” she said suddenly, suggesting that she was comparing the size of their hands.

Cheng Zhu laughed and accommodatingly said, “Not really, right?”

“Yes, it is!” Zhang Qiqi immediately brought her palm against his, pressing their palms tightly together.

“Look, there’s such a big difference between your hand and mine!” She expressed her surprise.

Indeed, Cheng Zhu had long, slender fingers with a pair of good-looking hands, and he was a skilled craftsman.

It was just a shame that his handwriting was atrocious.

Zhang Qiqi’s hands were also good-looking, and she even had a delicate manicure.

But her fingers, which were considered long among women, definitely seemed short in comparison to Cheng Zhu’s.

At that moment, she felt his hand was hot, while he felt hers was cold.

Today, the temperature had dropped again, and Cheng Zhu was no longer wearing a short-sleeved shirt but a cotton gray long-sleeved one instead.

Zhang Qiqi, on the other hand, was wearing a short-sleeved top and a short skirt, so it was no wonder she felt cold.

After their palms touched, she began to steal glances at Cheng Zhu’s face.

Without a doubt, she was disappointed.

Cheng Zhu’s expression was calm, showing little emotional reaction.

Girls’ tricks can sometimes be quite simple, typically down to a few. One is comparing hand sizes, and another is claiming to know palmistry, then using that as an excuse to hold your hand.

Cheng Zhu was a bit tired of it.

His composed expression made her doubt her own charm.

But no, that can’t be right!

She didn’t think of herself as an unattractive woman to men; she must be full of charm.

The problem must be with Cheng Zhu!

She had felt something was off several times before.

Today, through physical contact, she was almost certain — she had misjudged him before!

Zhang Qiqi had initially seen him as an ordinary innocent college student.

But now, what pure innocent man remains so calm when touching a girl’s hand?

At this moment, she quickly recalled many past interactions with him, further confirming her suspicion.

She had always thought of herself as a girl with schemes.

But today, through physical interaction, she clearly realized — she had met her match!

At this moment, Cheng Zhu was also disinclined to beat around the bush with her.

They were both age-old foxes; why bother with a ghost story?

Today, he would properly spar with her.

——Welcome to the confrontation road!

That’s why, at this moment, he looked at her with an amused gleam in his eyes, and as they made eye contact, Zhang Qiqi could clearly see the playfulness in his gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing, just wanted to ask if you’re cold, your hand’s pretty icy,” he smiled.

After speaking, he also looked down at her, hinting with his gaze that her outfit must be cold considering how she was dressed.

At that moment, Zhang Qiqi was sitting beside him, leaning toward him with her fair, crossed legs, her buttocks naturally tilted slightly on the seat.

Sheathed in a knitted dress, her curves were accentuated, and under its tight stretch across her hips, the dress was pulled taut, creating a fold that left much to the imagination.

“Maybe because I was holding a cold Coke just now,” Zhang Qiqi didn’t immediately say she was cold but then started to look at her outfit for the day.

She saw Cheng Zhu had just glanced at her dress, hinting she was wearing too little.

She deliberately extended her hands, letting her buttocks slightly lift from the seat, and then gently pulled down her dress hem, tugging back the skirt that had rolled up slightly when she sat.

After attracting his attention with the movement, she said, “It’s not very short, right?”

Everyone has probably seen those images of female live streamers in knitted dresses pulling down their hems while dancing, right?

It’s actually a very teasing action.

Both visually and psychologically, it affects men.

While the women are pulling their skirts down, men’s thoughts continue to rise, even going deeper.

“It’s not too short, and today’s outfit suits you really well,” he replied.

“Of course! I dressed up carefully,” she said.

“Dressed up carefully? Why?”

“No particular reason.”

“I see.”

“That’s right, I even went out to wash and style my hair this afternoon.”

“Oh, your hair is curlier today than usual.”

“You pay quite some attention to the details, huh!” Zhang Qiqi was pleased inside, feeling that he actually did notice her.

Not charmless at all, then!

With that thought, she naturally asked, “By the way, did Yao Yina tell you about what happened this afternoon?”
