At first, everyone thought Chen Jincheng had carefully planned this video for the girl. But what were they seeing now? The video was just something he shot for Xiaoju on the fly while he was out buying dance costumes with Li Suwan?

Moreover, in the video, you could clearly see Chen Jincheng style the girl’s hair, pick out a bow-shaped hair accessory, and pair it with a slightly more mature outfit. And just like that, he transformed a pure and beautiful girl into the stunning image of a tragic young widow.

It was truly amazing.

When it came to shooting videos for girls, Chen Jincheng truly seemed to have the Midas touch. He could instantly spot a girl’s best features, even ones she hadn’t noticed herself.

The prestige of being the "Number One Scumbag on the Internet" was still on the rise.

At the same time, it gave people an even clearer picture of his ability to film videos for girls.

Before, no one had seen his process, so they always assumed he must have spent a long time planning and researching. Now, they saw that even his casual efforts were this incredible.

A video he shot with just a little effort reached heights on Tiao Yin that countless people could never achieve. For those who meticulously filmed their videos only to struggle to break 500 views, the difference was as vast as an ant looking up at the sky.

「In the hotel.」

Chen Jincheng had already taken Xiaoju to the hotel front desk to book rooms.

When it was actually time to book, Xiaoju was still a little nervous. ’They were boyfriend and girlfriend, right? Booking a hotel room meant they were definitely going to do what boyfriends and girlfriends do.’

For the next few days, her role, in private, was to be his girlfriend...

"Two rooms, please!" Chen Jincheng said directly, handing over his and Xiaoju’s IDs.

"Chen Jincheng." The receptionist was a little surprised, having clearly recognized him. However, she was obviously the reserved type. Her surprise lasted only a moment before she processed their check-in, not taking out her phone for a picture or asking for a photo together.

Seeing him book two rooms, Xiaoju couldn’t help but purse her lips.

’He really is cautious when they’re out.’

’So good at putting on an act.’

After handing a key card to Xiaoju, Chen Jincheng turned to Li Suwan and her companion. "Teacher Li, when you get back, you can put on your dance costumes and practice the back-bending and hip-swaying steps. I’ll come to the school tomorrow to teach you the complete Divination Dance, and then we’ll film the video."

Although the Divination Dance was dedicated to the 40th anniversary of their alma mater’s dance department, the plan was to film a video first. The official Ganjiang University account would use it for promotion, and they could also post it on their own accounts.

Then, at the dance department’s anniversary gala the day after tomorrow, they would perform it on stage.

So, time was very tight. However, if they could master the back-bending and hip-swaying steps, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Li Suwan and her companion nodded. After leaving the hotel, they took a taxi back to the university together.

Once the dance costumes were bought, He Fang naturally arranged for them to go to the dance studio to change into them right away. She even had them put on performance makeup and had students from the student union’s publicity department come film them, planning to post a video of the two in their dance outfits on the university’s official website.

Since they were lucky enough to catch this wave of internet traffic, they naturally had to seize every opportunity to promote it. In just a short time, the university’s official account had gained over a million new followers. This was beneficial for the reputation of both the dance department and the entire university, as well as for next year’s student recruitment.

The university leadership was very pleased with this, and of course, she, as the director of the dance department, would definitely get some of the credit.

Li Suwan was naturally very cooperative, filming the video and then, as Chen Jincheng had instructed, practicing the back-bending and hip-swaying steps in the vibrant red, flowing Hanfu. Even though she could already perform the steps perfectly, she didn’t dare to slack off.

This was not an opportunity everyone gets; she had to seize it.

Just the news online that she had been chosen by Chen Tongxue to dance had already increased her follower count by tens of thousands. If she performed his complete dance, it would definitely make her famous. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Just from the back-bending and hip-swaying steps alone, she knew Chen Tongxue’s dance would be a hit.

She practiced until evening before leaving the dance studio. Then she went back to her office, took out her phone, and checked the stats on her Tiao Yin account.

Her follower count had already reached 160,000. Before this, after more than a year of making her own Tiao Yin videos, she had only managed to get a little over 10,000 followers. The rest had all been gained in this short period.

"You can do this!" Li Suwan silently encouraged herself.

Just then, she suddenly heard a woman’s voice. "Auntie, you have to help me!"

Hearing the voice, she smiled. It was her best friend, He Ya, another dance teacher in the department and one of its most beautiful flowers. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to listen to. After her divorce, He Ya had often comforted her.

"It’s such a great opportunity. Why should it go to Li Suwan?" He Ya continued, her tone clearly tinged with anger.

When Li Suwan heard this, she instinctively ducked under her desk, her brow furrowed tightly.

"Auntie, you have no idea how many followers Li Suwan has already gained! She’s at 160,000 without even performing the dance. Once she performs it, won’t she be famous?!"

"You’re the director. You can talk to Chen Jincheng, can’t you? If you talk to him, I’m sure he’ll let me dance instead."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

He Ya hung up the phone, but her words made Li Suwan’s expression turn ugly. She never would have thought that the person she considered her best friend was actually like this.

The crucial part was that Director He seemed to have agreed to help He Ya.

’If Director He talks to Chen Tongxue, he might just agree out of respect for her position. After all, I’m just a minor dance teacher. How can I compare to the university leadership?’
