Chapter 161: 137. Planning for the Future

Pretending, it’s a common human trait.

This kind of thing doesn’t discriminate by gender, age, or relationship closeness. As long as there’s an opportunity, the conditions, and a so-called perfect setting, it’s best if there are two or three listeners as well.

The educated call it showing off in front of others, the cruder folks more commonly refer to it as—bullshitting.

Without a doubt, in the eyes of some classmates tonight, what Lu Jincheng was saying was clearly bullshit.

Fairy Miao working for him?

That’s a laugh.

On what basis?

Throughout the whole internet, Douyu having no competition, other platforms could only pick up scraps.

And in another dimension on the B-site, hosts who originally did otaku dances also began to try imitating Fairy Miao’s dancing.

Whether it was starting a "hype train" or just being a show-off, they soon occupied a dominant place in the dance area.

This girl, who just by listening to made her appear sensational, working for you, Lu Jincheng?

Who the hell are you?

Wu Zizhi snorted coldly from his nose, looking at Lu Jincheng, who remained unfazed, his tone full of disdain.

"I understand, totally understand, Lao Lu must have made some money."

Even Liu Zhe, who was on good terms with Lu Jincheng, gave him a look that said, "Alright, alright, stop blowing your own trumpet."

No way around it.

Among classmates, it’s often hardest to accept when someone suddenly becomes successful.

This is also why unsuccessful adults are the least willing to attend class reunions.

Everyone had struggled together, seen your most miserable and ordinary side, and subconsciously believed that that’s just how you were.

And that you could only be that way.

If one day, a classmate really made it big, people might smile and congratulate them to their face, but behind their backs, they would be grinding their teeth.

You damn well deserve to die!

Moreover, in most people’s understanding, the role that an MCN studio plays for an internet celebrity is still an unknown.

Fairy Miao standing in the spotlight because she has the ability, she is outstanding.

If that’s the case, what’s the studio got to do with it?

Lu Jincheng was merely basking in the spotlight of a major broadcaster, just scraping together a bit of leftover income.

People who didn’t know the specifics, would probably think this way.

"Do you think I need to bullshit to you?"

Lu Jincheng smiled nonchalantly, completely disregarding Wu Zizhi.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this."

Pan Xuan, who was perceptive, quickly came forward to smooth things over.

In her view, Lu Jincheng had just managed to court Zhong Ruixi, it was a crucial time for a male to showcase his feathers.

A little boasting was perfectly normal!

This Wu Zizhi was simply too lacking in emotional intelligence, insisting on exposing people, right!

Didn’t he see that Zhong Ruixi hadn’t spoken for half a day?

"Lu Jincheng, I’m actually quite curious too."

Another female classmate, Tan Huilin, raised her head, her big eyes looking towards Lu Jincheng across from her.

"What exactly goes on in your Golden Stone studio, honestly, I’ve been observing online for quite a while."

"All those official promotions, I’ve seen them, but tell me, can you really turn any commoner into a net celebrity?"

Asking this question clearly indicated some research had been done.

Class 8 of Liao City First Middle School was the key class of that year.

And Tan Huilin, a key player in the key class, studied at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, one of the two 985 universities in Jiang City, a typical STEM girl.

Facing the unknown and not dismissing it immediately, maintaining curiosity and an explorative spirit, was her consistent approach to handling matters.

"That definitely won’t work."

Lu Jincheng chuckled and shook his head, gesturing towards Wu Zizhi’s direction with his mouth: "Wu Zizhi, for example, would not work."

"He has no talent, no EQ, no distinguishing features, in short, no potential; even if traffic came his way, he couldn’t handle it."

"We definitely wouldn’t sign someone like him. It’s just a pure waste of resources."

"Fuck!"

Wu Zizhi was immediately displeased and furrowed his brows, about to erupt, but was promptly cut off by Tan Huilin.

"But what about me?"

"You could, you have potential."

Lu Jincheng looked at the empty beer bottles in front of her, and seriously said, "A 985 nerdy girl who can’t live without booze in her three meals a day, that’s a label that brings traffic by itself."

"What about Liu Zhe?"

"Dark-skinned athlete, if he plays to his strengths and works on his weaknesses, he might be moldable."

"And Pan Xuan?"

"Please, Xuan Xuan is majoring in piano, she has such beautiful hands, going the route of short video platforms early on, it’s guaranteed to blow up."

Lu Jincheng was full of confidence.

"Really?"

Liu Zhe and Pan Xuan exchanged glances tacitly and echoed each other.

Not expecting Lu Jincheng to rate them so highly, they’d never discovered before that they/I had potential to be internet celebrities?

Upon hearing this, Wu Zizhi supported his forehead with one hand, his rolled eyes almost shooting to the sky.

Keep blowing, kid!

Everyone but me can be turned into gold by your studio?

What can Liu Zhe, dark as he is, do?

And Pan Xuan is even more laughable, her academic results dragging at the bottom, entirely reliant on her family throwing money into learning some piano and taking the art student route.

Her level, honestly, is just not up to par.

Is that all?

Huh? Is that it?

To him, the only person at the table even remotely close to being a net celebrity was Zhong Ruixi.

Even the Fairy Miao on screen, no matter how sexy, enchanting her dance moves, or soul-stirring the music,

Couldn’t compare to the impact the dressed-up Zhong Ruixi in person had on him.

Through this prolonged meal, he almost needed to check on Zhong Ruixi every few seconds through the corner of his eyes.

She really was beautiful.

"Um... how about Rui Rui, would she become popular if she tried livestreaming?"

Sure enough, the question Wu Zizhi wanted to ask, was finally reached by Tan Huilin, last among the people at the table.
