Chapter 195: Chapter 156: The Benefits of Being a Secretary: The First Thing to Grab is Clout

Lin Leqing walked excitedly toward the door, but noticed her cousin hadn’t followed. She waited for a moment before she saw her come out and asked, puzzled, "Cousin, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing!" Li Muchen shook her head, but her face held a hint of embarrassment and dejection.

She just didn’t want her younger cousin to notice, so she forced a smile.

The two of them soon met up with Chen Jincheng and Sister Hong.

Lin Leqing hurried forward to greet them. "Senior, Sister Hong."

"All ready to go?" Chen Jincheng asked with a smile.

"Mhm, no problem." Lin Leqing nodded. She had already studied the script carefully, and her cousin had even coached her. She was confident she could perform the expressions and actions for the scenes perfectly.

"Then let’s get ready to head out!" Chen Jincheng said with a smile.

Lao Chen had already led some people to get shades, light reflectors, and sliders from the storage room, along with the cameras for the shoot.

They were, by all accounts, thoroughly prepared.

It wasn’t that you absolutely had to use this equipment for a long-form story video, or that a phone was out of the question. Rather, using this gear would definitely result in better image quality, a more cinematic feel, and stronger camerawork.

Better image quality, texture, and camerawork were all pluses for a video, and Tiao Yin’s algorithm would also grant it more traffic.

"Boss, this is today’s shooting schedule. Please take a look." Ximeng held out a document, handing it over with a delicate air.

Chen Jincheng saw Ximeng and his eyes swept over her.

The girl was actually wearing a rather proper secretary’s outfit today.

’Hmm, the suit jacket and skirt set on the outside are indeed proper. It’s just that pairing them with an ultra-low-cut lace bustier—the kind that wouldn’t even pass censorship in a video—and that pair of sheer stockings makes it all a bit improper again.’

’It’s the kind of look that says, "I’m dressed very professionally on the outside, but I’m still trying to tempt you, and in a way that you can’t even complain about."’

’The scheming of a little green tea secretary.’

’So, not just anyone can be a "green tea" girl. At the very least, their subtle fashion schemes show a keen grasp of male psychology.’

’Looking at his little secretary’s outfit, as her boss, he quite liked it.’

’The girls at the company all dressed nicely, but the ones from the nightclub scene were straightforwardly slutty, wearing revealing clothes. The "green tea" girls recruited from car shows, however, were clearly dressed provocatively, yet they had a way of making men not feel like they were being slutty.’

’It’s a difference in class.’

’As for ordinary girls, like those e-girls, their fashion is just random. Their class is even lower than the girls from the nightclub scene.’

Chen Jincheng took the document from Ximeng’s hand with a smile and began to read it.

Although he had come up with the script’s concept, Sister Hong and Lao Chen had been handling the shooting schedule. Even though he was the boss, he had to follow it during filming.

He could use his "boss privilege," but doing so wouldn’t be good for the shooting progress or team morale.

’Following the rules when he should is all for the sake of his own career.’

A short while later, the group left Second-Life Star and headed for the filming location.

Sister Hong had rented a 7-seater van to transport the equipment, and the film crew could ride in it as well.

In addition, Chen Jincheng’s BMW 5 Series was also being used to drive Lao Chen, Sister Hong, and Lin Leqing. Li Muchen, naturally, went with Lin Leqing.

As for Chen Jincheng, he, of course, would be driving his own Lamborghini.

He had just opened his car door when Ximeng, the little secretary, happily followed, opening the passenger door and hopping in.

You could tell she was in a good mood; after all, she got to ride in the boss’s Lamborghini again.

After getting in the car, the first thing she did was pull out her phone to film a selfie video. Moreover, she found a great angle that could capture both herself and the boss, while also getting the Lamborghini’s logo in the shot.

Seeing her actions, Chen Jincheng also flashed a peace sign at the camera.

’He understood his little secretary’s intentions and was naturally willing to give her some emotional validation.’

’It was like he always said: he always gave something back to the girls he fooled around with.’

’As long as they didn’t pressure him for a commitment or an official title, he would satisfy whatever requests he could. This was especially true for trivial emotional validation like this. It was an effortless gesture for him, and it could make a girl happy for a long time, so why not?’

Seeing her boss cooperate, the girl’s face lit up with joy after she finished her selfie video. She immediately opened WeChat and posted it to her Moments.

Caption: What girl doesn’t love a handsome guy driving a multi-million-dollar luxury car?

The moment she posted it, her WeChat friends started liking it one after another. Most of them were car models she had added in the past.

"Ximeng, I’m genuinely so jealous!"

"Ximeng, you’ve really made it."

"I wish I could join Second-Life Star so bad."

"..."

Seeing these envious comments, Ximeng’s sense of satisfaction grew even stronger. She immediately opened Tiao Yin and posted the same video to her account.

Caption: What girl doesn’t love a handsome guy driving a multi-million-dollar luxury car? See you in my livestream!

That’s right, she was going to start a livestream.

Now that she was the boss’s secretary, she wasn’t like the company’s other signed artists who were required to stream at different times to divide the traffic. This was because many of Second-Life Star’s livestream viewers were fans of the boss.

Or rather, a large portion of them were the boss’s die-hard fans.

The boss’s streaming schedule was irregular; he usually streamed for a bit around noon and almost never at night.

His die-hard fans would be left "homeless," so they would watch the girls from Second-Life Star, especially a few of the Miss Chengs, as if they were vicarious shareholders in the company.

As a result, the girls could get a lot of that traffic.

But if they all streamed at the same time, the traffic would be split, and each person would attract fewer viewers.

So, it was better for them to stream at different times.

But as the secretary, her livestreams could be much more spontaneous. She didn’t have that restriction and could go live whenever she wanted.
