"Okay!" Li Muchen nodded at Ximeng’s friendly gesture and went back to Second-Life Star with her.

After the two girls left, Chen Jincheng started working out. As time went on, he soon received a game notification:

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Your constitution has increased!]

Constitution Points: 424

Chen Jincheng moved on to the next piece of equipment and continued his workout. The feeling of spending Constitution Points to increase his constitution was truly addictive.

...

After Li Muchen and Ximeng got back to Second-Life Star, Ximeng went to the editing department, and Li Muchen went straight to Sister Hong’s office.

"Miss Li, you’re..." Sister Hong trailed off in surprise when she saw Li Muchen.

"Sister Hong, the boss told me to come find you about the contract," Li Muchen quickly explained.

Sister Hong understood. ’So the contract the boss asked me to prepare earlier was for her. But doesn’t she want to be an actress, to join a production and act?’

’Did the boss win her over?’

Seeing the gym clothes she was wearing, Sister Hong understood. She was the "Miss Cheng" from the gym.

’The boss is really something else.’

Sister Hong immediately smiled, took out the prepared contract, and handed it over. "Miss Li, the contract is all ready. Once you sign, you’ll officially be a part of Second-Life Star."

Li Muchen took the contract and looked it over. It was the same as her cousin’s: a five-year term, with all the clauses laid out very clearly.

So, she signed her name without hesitation, officially becoming one of Second-Life Star’s talents. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After taking the company’s copy of the contract, Sister Hong pulled out a file and handed it to Li Muchen. "Miss Li, this is the script the boss prepared for you. Take a good look at it. The production team is already getting ready. We can start filming tomorrow."

"Thank you, Sister Hong." Li Muchen took the script and started reading.

She was taken aback when she first saw the title, *Famous Detective*.

’After all, detective stories are about suspenseful plots, aren’t they?’

Her initial thought was the same as Sister Hong’s. ’How can you possibly film this kind of story in just sixty seconds?’

But the plot of this script was clearly much stronger than her cousin’s three videos. From the very beginning, she was captivated by the scene where the villain and the heroine are separated by a single door.

By the time she finished reading, she was completely astonished.

’The boss is just too amazing!’

It was actually possible to shoot a detective video in just sixty seconds, and with such a tight plot. By this standard, the television series she used to be an extra in were hopelessly padded with filler.

"Sister Hong, this script needs two female characters?" Li Muchen asked, a little surprised as a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Sister Hong nodded. "Yes, we still need one more actress. We’ll look for someone among the company’s talent to act alongside you."

Of the video’s three characters, besides Li Muchen as the heroine, the female companion also had a lot of screen time. The script the boss planned was sure to be a hit, so this was a great opportunity for exposure.

Lin Leqing was already famous, so she didn’t need the opportunity this supporting role provided. Therefore, it would go to one of the company’s other talents.

It was a role with significant screen time.

As for the villain who breaks in, Second-Life Star didn’t have any other male talent, so they had no choice but to give the part to Elephant.

After leaving Sister Hong’s office, Li Muchen went to the lounge, sat down, and began to study the script carefully.

This was a habit of hers. Whenever she had a role to play, even a bit part as a maid, she would thoroughly research the character.

After some time, she felt she had a solid grasp of the female detective’s character.

Just as she stepped out of the lounge, she noticed all of Second-Life Star’s employees were looking at her. Even some of the company’s other talents were whispering enviously:

"So she’s the new Miss Cheng from the gym!"

"I’m so jealous. She actually caught the boss’s eye."

"Look how close they are in that video. The boss is definitely going to promote her and have her make videos now."

"..."

Hearing their words, Li Muchen put two and two together. She stepped to the side, pulled out her phone, and did a search. Sure enough, she quickly found the video of herself and her new boss, Chen Jincheng, on Tiao Yin.

It was the scene from the gym, where he was intimately teaching her how to stretch from behind.

And with music and close-ups added, the video suddenly seemed incredibly sweet, as if they were a lovey-dovey couple working out together.

The video had already gone viral online, proving the publicity stunt was a huge success.

A glance at the comments showed they had already exploded.

"So Cheng’s own bullet finally hit him between the eyes. And you kept saying you were just working out for self-discipline?"

"’Start getting disciplined, meet a better you,’ huh? Pfft, yeah right!"

"If I ever go to the gym, it won’t be because I’m disciplined. It’ll be because I’ve got my eye on a girl there. —Chen Jincheng!"

"..."

Reading these comments, Li Muchen felt that everyone really had the wrong idea about her new boss.

’He really did go to the gym just to work out, and he spent a long time there every day.’

’And... he actually has pecs.’

For some reason, as she watched the close-up shot of her back brushing against his chest in the video, she suddenly felt an urge to touch his pecs.

A moment later, she saw follow notifications start popping up on her phone.

People were following her Tiao Yin account one after another. There were quite a few of them. They must have seen the "new Miss Cheng" video and found her profile through the @mention in the caption.

She was astonished as she watched her follower count climb.

After seeing her cousin get famous, she had studied Tiao Yin and even tried making a couple of videos herself, but the results had been mediocre at best.
