Chapter 212 - 162: The Fitness-Loving Talented Scumbag! A Call from Rebus
Luckily, he had a massive advantage over the Ancestral Master of his past life: he had a cheat system.
So, he could write songs, sing, and cultivate the persona of a "scumbag genius." This was another way to break out of his niche.
Now, he’d gotten a special "Fitness Expert Card." If he did well with fitness, it would generate a lot of buzz and be another way to break out.
Then he would be the ’scumbag genius who loves fitness.’
After the stream ended, Chen Jincheng took Yinyin home. She had to stream at the company that night, and she must have been exhausted from their afternoon activities, so he wanted her to get some good rest.
Afterward, Chen Jincheng headed to the company. He had Sister Hong notify Sister Feiye that he wanted to hold a meeting about the "little yellow cart" feature.
In this world, thanks to the pajama ad he shot for Jiang Xiaobai, the "little yellow cart" trial had been a massive success. He guessed that Tiao Yin would launch the shopping cart feature no later than in his original world—it might even be earlier, probably within the next month or so.
Moreover, there was a bug he could exploit during the feature’s initial rollout.
Or rather, it was a bug only for him. One that would let him make an absolute killing.
Not long after Chen Jincheng arrived at Second-Life Star, Sister Feiye’s car pulled into the Jinmao Building’s parking garage. She then walked to the elevator and pressed the button for Second-Life Star’s floor.
"Sister Feiye, Chen Jincheng specifically asked you to come this time. Is he going to plan an ad for you?" her assistant asked curiously, trailing beside her.
"We’ll find out when we get there." In truth, Sister Feiye was feeling a little expectant herself.
After all, she had joined Second-Life Star for his advertising and planning skills, hoping he could help her break free from low-end ad restrictions and increase her commercial value.
Just like the last ad for Danny Clothing. That ad alone had significantly boosted her value, and the products offered to her for advertisements were now noticeably more prestigious.
But since joining Second-Life Star, she had sent Chen Jincheng quite a few ad proposals, yet he hadn’t shown interest in a single one. She’d had no choice but to let her own team do the planning and just have a videographer from Second-Life Star come over to shoot.
However, there was obviously a huge gap between the ads she and her team planned and the ones he did.
The best-performing video she had produced on her own had only gotten 700,000 likes.
That was her best-performing video in the last six months, aside from the one Chen Jincheng had made for her.
Of course, it wasn’t because she was bad at it. Looking at other influencers with a similar follower count, their ad videos typically got around 100,000 to 200,000 likes.
Sister Feiye and her assistant entered the elevator and soon arrived at Second-Life Star.
Sister Hong knew she had arrived right away and came out to greet her, notifying Chen Jincheng at the same time.
In his office, Chen Jincheng was awkwardly staring at a private photo and a leave request sent by Ximeng.
Because it was swollen.
"Take a few days off. Get some rest." Chen Jincheng had no choice but to text the girl back and approve her leave.
’It’s all the fault of that special Fitness Expert Card.’
Just then, he received a message from Sister Hong.
Sister Feiye had arrived. He headed to the conference room and met her there.
It had only been a few days, but Sister Feiye’s "young stepmom" vibe was stronger than ever. She had deliberately applied her makeup to lean into that style and was even wrapped in a distinctive qipao.
Anyone who makes it big online is no fool; they all know how to package themselves for maximum benefit.
The "young stepmom" style had become her persona, and she was fully committed to mining it.
It was exactly this "ripe peach" look that attracted the attention of men like the proverbial Old Wang next door or a husband’s subordinates.
Seeing Chen Jincheng enter, Sister Feiye stood up with a smile and greeted him, "Boss, I dropped everything when I heard you summoned me. This must be good news, right?"
"I do have some good news. Your time is coming," Chen Jincheng replied with a smile.
Sister Feiye watched him sit down, a little bewildered.
’What does he mean, "my time"?’
After sitting down, Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "Sister Feiye, I didn’t call you here today for any other reason. I just wanted to talk to you about the shopping cart feature."
"The shopping cart." Sister Feiye was, of course, familiar with it. After Jiang Xiaobai’s video came out, many people had started looking into it.
Then, her eyes lit up. "Boss, are you saying Tiao Yin’s shopping cart feature is about to go live?"
Ever since Tiao Yin announced that Jiang Xiaobai’s video had generated a million orders, she had been wondering if her own ad videos could do the same.
But when she tried to get information from an editor she knew at Tiao Yin, she found that the company was being very secretive about it, and it was difficult to find out any details privately.
Chen Jincheng nodded. "Yes, it should be going live soon, probably right after the National Day holiday. Every influencer will be able to shoot a video, attach a shopping cart to it, and set up a product link."
"This will become another way for influencers to monetize. If it’s done well, the income could even surpass what they currently make from streaming and ads. Take Jiang Xiaobai’s video for example: a million units sold, a 10% commission, which ended up being over 4 million."
"That much?" Sister Feiye was genuinely stunned to hear this.
Everyone had been guessing that Jiang Xiaobai’s video, which helped that pajama company sell a million units, must have earned a lot, but who knew it was *that* much.
’That’s just insane.’
Not counting the ad video Chen Jincheng had planned for her, she currently had over 17 million followers, but a single ad only earned her 400,000. She would need to do ten of those just to match the earnings from that one video.
