Chapter 241: Chapter 172: Luo Xiaozhu: Do You Know the Worth of the Dance King? Chen Jincheng: Slap

This feeling of being famous, of being envied... it was quite enjoyable.

So, she was very generous when it came to treating everyone. She took a few of her colleagues out for a grand seafood feast, booking a very nice private room.

After they sat down and ordered, she pulled out her phone, logged into Tiao Yin, and checked the stats on her video.

Her inbox was already full of private messages, all things like, "Hey beautiful, let’s get to know each other," or, "Hey beautiful, can I add you on WeChat?"

They were so annoying to look at. Just a bunch of creeps.

She deleted the messages, but then she noticed a new one. The sender claimed to be Chen Jincheng, saying he saw great potential in her and wanted to invite her to join Second-Life Star.

When she saw the message, she fired back an irritable reply: "Are you an idiot? You’re the 11th person today to claim to be Chen Jincheng. Just because you’re stupid doesn’t mean you can treat me like some gullible girl."

At Second-Life Star.

Chen Jincheng stared at Xiaoju’s reply, completely dumbfounded.

’What the hell?’

’Had 11 other Chen Jinchengs already tried to hit on her before him?’

’So now he was a fake, too?’

Chen Jincheng sent a wry smile emoji and typed, "You couldn’t just click on my profile to check?"

Back in the seafood restaurant’s private room.

Xiaoju put down her phone and started complaining to her colleagues, "Why are there so many creeps in the world these days? This one’s even pretending to be Chen Jincheng, saying he sees potential in me!"

A colleague next to her teased, "Xiaoju, that’s obviously because you’re pretty and have a great body. They just want to see if you’re easy to fool. They want to sleep with you!"

Xiaoju shot her colleague a look. "I’m not some little girl. I’m not going to fall for their tricks."

But then another colleague asked, "Xiaoju, what if the real Chen Jincheng came looking for you and wanted to sleep with you? Would you let him?"

Xiaoju was speechless. "He’s such a player. Even if the real one showed up, I couldn’t be bothered with him."

One colleague said with a grin, "But Chen Jincheng is amazing at making people famous. If he takes a liking to you, you could become a huge influencer. Isn’t that better than selling houses here, getting ogled by creepy clients all day?"

The colleague who had just spoken chimed in, "Exactly! I had some hick offer to buy me an apartment if I’d sleep with him for a night! I don’t know what goes through their heads. But if it were Chen Jincheng... he’s so handsome and talented, and he could make you a star. It wouldn’t be a bad deal, would it?"

Hearing this, an image of Chen Jincheng inexplicably appeared in Xiaoju’s mind.

After her "Subject Three" video went viral, she had scrolled through some of Chen Jincheng’s videos too.

’He really is handsome!’ 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But faced with her colleagues’ teasing, she still said defiantly, "That kind of player? Even if he wanted to make me famous, I wouldn’t give him the chance!"

’Besides, there’s no way Chen Jincheng would actually approach her.’

Just as she said that, she noticed another message in her Tiao Yin inbox. She opened it and saw it was from the same guy claiming to be Chen Jincheng.

’This guy just doesn’t give up, does he?’

But when she opened the new message from him, she froze for a moment.

"You couldn’t just click on my profile to check?"

Xiaoju’s mind went blank.

She subconsciously tapped on his profile.

Chen Jincheng: 7.87 million followers, verified account.

"Ah!" Xiaoju cried out in disbelief when she saw the profile clearly.

Her colleagues all looked over at her, confused.

"Xiaoju, what’s wrong?"

"Yeah, Xiaoju, what happened?"

"..."

Xiaoju quickly changed the subject. "I saw a dark spot and thought it was a cockroach. It scared me."

"You scared me."

"Seriously!"

"I thought something bad had happened."

"..."

Xiaoju managed to placate her colleagues, but her heart was pounding like crazy.

A moment ago, she’d been so defiant because she thought there was no way Chen Jincheng would actually contact her.

But now, the real Chen Jincheng had come knocking. Any girl he took an interest in could become a huge influencer.

But then she immediately remembered he was a player, and what her colleagues had said—that sleeping with Chen Jincheng once to become a huge influencer wasn’t a bad deal.

’This... I have to ask him about this...’

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied, "Do you really just see potential in me? Are you... going to sleep with me?"

But as soon as she sent it, she felt it was inappropriate.

’Who asks something like that right off the bat?’ She quickly retracted the message.

"???" Chen Jincheng, however, had already seen the message. Retracting it was useless.

He was left speechless.

He had only sent an invitation. How could she ask a question like that? Was he that kind of person?

’This is an insult to my character, you know?’

Chen Jincheng replied, "I never mess around with my own people!"

"So you really do see potential in me?" Xiaoju immediately sent another message.

"You guess!" Chen Jincheng replied, a playful mood suddenly striking him.

She had retracted her message, only to reply again so eagerly. It was obvious she wanted to join Second-Life Star.

After all, the temptation of becoming a glamorous, dazzling, and famous influencer was something most ordinary girls couldn’t resist.

But she had dared to insult his character.

’Might as well string her along for a bit. Let her sweat.’

Xiaoju stared at the two words "You guess!" and froze.

’What does that mean?’

She immediately sent a row of question marks.

But this time, Chen Jincheng didn’t reply.

This made her inexplicably anxious. She was distracted for the rest of the meal, and even the seafood, which she usually found delicious, tasted like nothing at all.

"Xiaoju, what’s wrong? You’ve been distracted this whole meal," a colleague asked, noticing her strange behavior.

"No, it’s nothing," Xiaoju quickly said, shaking her head. How could she admit the real reason? She would lose so much face in front of her colleagues.

After they parted ways, she rushed home. The moment she got back, she sent a smiley face emoji to Chen Jincheng.

But once again, her message was met with silence.

This caused her to lose sleep. Even late into the night, she didn’t feel the slightest bit drowsy.

She picked up her phone to scroll through videos and came across one about Chen Jincheng. The famous celebrity Luo Xiaozhu had posted it, saying the choreography Chen Jincheng planned was technically lacking.
