357: Chapter 24 “Ladies, look at the camera, smile!

Although Ai Guobei is somewhat of a Joker, he indeed has significant fame—having been active in the realm of public opinion for decades, even a dog could wield influence.

He boasts over three million combined followers across various platforms; and while many are haters, there are also those pitiful souls who treat his nonsense as gospel truth.

Ai Guobei has traffic, and Cheng Daqi, being an internet celebrity with nine hundred thousand followers, brings his own traffic to the table.

Their clash was like setting off a public opinion bomb, causing ripples across the internet—Hua Country’s internet is vast, after all, and a few million viewers only amount to minor ripples.

But for CEO Cheng, that was already enough!

“The ridiculous actions of an internet clown, deceiving the public with nothing but lies!” The wording was charged with power to incite, as Cheng Daqi truly was unscrupulous when it came to generating traffic.

However, CEO Cheng wasn’t worried that his own actions would backfire—after all, crowds are blind.

It was 2018, and most ordinary people held a blind admiration for the successful; he was confident that he could gradually turn the haters into true fans over time.

At two in the afternoon, Shanhaiguan’s reception area was rather special, as today it was graced by ten stunning beauties.

The girls from Dongxin Song and Dance Troupe were ultimately poached by Cheng Daqi, and Sun Brother, who always went all in, didn’t hesitate to throw in these relatively unimportant chips into the game after betting on Cheng Daqi.

The girls were still chatting, still hopeful, unaware that their lives and futures were just a bet between Cheng Daqi and Sun Dongxin—they were betting that Shanhaiguan would ride the momentum and rise.

Unfortunately for them, they had the courage to sell their youth, but neither CEO Cheng nor Sun Brother ever took a proper look at them.

Luckily, they were fortunate; Shanhaiguan was a vessel destined for distant voyages, and CEO Cheng was set to bring them aboard that afternoon!

“Cheng, so our plan for this afternoon is just to have fun?” The blonde Caucasian woman fiddled with her camera; she had taken a lot of beautiful street photos of Hua Country that morning.

For Lisa, who grew up listening to stories about a now defunct country from her Odessa-born mother, Hua Country was incredibly appealing.

She adored every street here, every sign she couldn’t read, every person who smiled and greeted her.

“Yes, I’ve also rented a yacht, hoping to give you a great Hua Country experience.”

Reading the message on his phone, CEO Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

Zhong Ju, Sun Dongxin’s top driver, was a man whose influence equaled Sun Dongxin’s; getting things done through Zhong Ju could even be faster than going through Sun Dongxin directly.

The car fleet was ready, the photography team could even provide helicopter aerial shots, and the yacht was arranged in a rush—all of this was sorted by Zhong Ju within hours.

The important thing was, it was all on Dongxin’s budget—Shanhaiguan didn’t spend a cent, neither did CEO Cheng.

Cheng Daqi understood that this was Sun Dongxin’s gesture; Sun Brother probably knew he was caught in a whirlwind of public opinion and was simply waiting for Cheng Daqi to approach him on his own initiative.

In the Shanhaiguan hospitality area, Dongxin Song and Dance Troupe’s ten golden flowers fell silent.

CEO Cheng arrived with Lisa.

Each of the girls was beautiful, but their looks paled in comparison to Lisa’s—there was a gap that could never be bridged between them.

Lisa was naturally beautiful, every frown and smile was a picture-perfect image with no bad angles, and her flowing blond hair made her seem like an elven creature who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, ethereally out of a storybook.

Next to this foreign blonde, the Dongxin Song and Dance Troupe girls could only be considered pretty in a more ordinary, homegrown way.

“Well, that should do it for now, let’s get going,” CEO Cheng said, scanning the group and nodding with approval.

The ten golden flowers came in styles ranging from comics-inspired to mature-lite, from artsy to retro to Chinese flair, each dressed to impress, and indeed they held great potential.

“Here’s the deal, CEO Cheng will be taking MAS Vice President Lisa on a tour of Gulangyu this afternoon.

MAS is Shanhaiguan’s sister company in America and a part of CEO Cheng’s business empire, with a strong focus on tiktok, the international version of Douyin.

There’ll be professional photographers following us this afternoon, and the plan has been sent to the small group chat, please pay attention to a few points…”

CEO Cheng nonchalantly left by car, while Xiao Cao worked like a diligent mother hen, with a few of Shanhaiguan’s staff members rounding up the specifics of the job.

A word from the leader, and the subordinates run their legs off.

In five hours, under CEO Cheng’s command, Shanhaiguan quickly scrambled a complete shooting plan.

Xiao Cao was fully aware that CEO Cheng wouldn’t stay in Hua Country for long, and she truly hoped to demonstrate her capabilities to him in the shortest possible time.

She didn’t expect to become the vice president, but she yearned for Cheng Daqi’s genuine recognition.

“Sister Cao, the shooting plan only has twelve options, and the three that are left really don’t suit me, can I swap with someone else?” the unlucky girl asked, looking at the work group chat where all but three options had been snagged.

“Dear, you need to get used to the pace of Shanhaiguan.

We are a startup with a broad future, but our pace is fast.

Ladies, I want to echo a sentiment that CEO Cheng always emphasizes, and I hope you’ll take it to heart: ‘Everyone has the ability, but not everyone will get the chance to showcase their talents.’

Our country has 1.4 billion people.

Even if you are one in a million, our country still has 1,400 talents like you!

Is your talent one in a million?

One in a hundred thousand?

One in ten thousand?

You are all prettier than me, but you are not special.

Shanhaiguan is filled with pretty internet celebrities, and the internet is overflowing with countless beauties!

Beauty fades, and men are not reliable.

Ladies, it’s time we head downstairs and get into the cars.

You need to step it up—Shanhaiguan might be your closest shot at success in this lifetime!”
