Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 364 - 216: Shameless! Whose Heart Is This

With that thought, Little Maru grew even more provocative. She linked her arm with Chen Jincheng’s and said in a saccharine voice, "Boss, do you think our song, ’Little Dimples,’ will surpass ’Can’t Help Falling in Love’?"

Wang Qiqi immediately felt a pang of bitterness.

She wasn’t some clueless, naive woman. She’d been waiting for the Boss to contact her first. After all, as a woman, she felt she had to be a little reserved.

But after the Boss helped her film that cover video, he hadn’t contacted her since.

And since she hadn’t taken the initiative, it was clear someone else would.

She used to have the upper hand on this Little Maru. She even thought that with the Boss on her side, the other girl was no threat at all. Who would have thought she’d actually join Second-Life Star and that the Boss would even write a song for her?

She understood. The other girl had definitely made a move on the Boss; she could tell just by how practiced and intimate she was acting.

’So shameless.’

At the same time, she was filled with regret for letting such a golden opportunity slip away to her rival.

With this thought, she immediately beamed and walked up to the Boss. She took the initiative, grabbing his other arm and pouting playfully, "Boss, you’ve only helped me with one video so far. When are you going to film the second one?"

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to subtly rub her chest against the Boss’s arm.

Chen Jincheng felt it.

’Is this girl trying to seduce me?’

’It’s just... very clumsy.’

But for him, it had its own unique charm. He smiled and said, "Since you’re both here, I’ll help you film another video this afternoon as well."

’After using an Internet Celebrity Debut Card on Wang Qiqi, I’ve only filmed one cover video with her. This is the perfect time to shoot the second one; I can’t let the card’s effect go to waste.’

"Thank you, Boss!" Joy blossomed on Wang Qiqi’s pretty face. As she thanked him, she tightened her grip on his arm and, naturally, didn’t forget to press against him again.

’Since I’ve already fallen behind, I naturally have to give the Boss plenty of positive feedback.’

Little Maru rolled her eyes at her.

’Look at her, so pleased with herself.’

’I won’t fight over this now.’

’How can a cover song possibly compare to an original like ’Little Dimples’?’

The people around watched the scene—the Boss with a girl on his left and another on his right—and seemed to sense an air of jealous rivalry.

’As expected of the Boss.’

’As expected of the internet’s number one scumbag.’

"What are you all looking at? Get back to work!" Sister Hong barked, pointedly ignoring the Boss and his two companions.

’Sigh, what can you do when you have a boss like him?’

"Sister Wanzi, let me do your makeup first," a makeup artist said, walking up to Little Maru.

"Thanks," Little Maru nodded, following the makeup artist to the side.

She and the Boss would be going on stage to sing later. The filming department would be recording it to use as the song’s music video, which would eventually be uploaded to music platforms, so she needed special makeup for the MV.

In an instant, everyone in the bar bustled with activity.

Seeing that annoying Little Maru walk away, Wang Qiqi turned back to Chen Jincheng. "Boss, so what song will I be singing today?"

"Let me look up some songs first," Chen Jincheng said. He walked over to one of the bar’s booths, sat down by himself, and started looking through his phone.

’Wang Qiqi had covered a lot of songs in the other world.’

’And a lot of them were hits.’

’But some of those songs don’t exist in this world, and some haven’t even been released yet. I have to check to be sure.’

Just as he was engrossed in his search, the scent of perfume wafted to his nose.

Wang Qiqi came over and sat down right next to him. She wrapped her arms around one of his and leaned against him quietly, watching him search on his phone.

She said nothing, yet her actions seemed to say everything.

"Boss... you haven’t contacted me in so long," Wang Qiqi whispered. "Is it because I didn’t take the initiative? Are you mad at me?"

"What nonsense are you thinking? Why would I be angry?" Chen Jincheng understood what she meant almost instantly, but she had him all wrong.

’I wasn’t angry, not at all. It was just that the other girls had been so forward that I’d momentarily forgotten about her.’

He also checked the girl’s employee status...

Name: Wang Qi

Loyalty: 100

Status: As long as the Boss wants to, I’m ready anytime. I really just wanted to be a little demure, I didn’t mean to make him angry.

’The last time this girl was slandered online by Hu Zhicong, everyone was cursing her out. After he unconditionally believed her and helped her clear her name, her Loyalty hit 100. In other words, it had reached the point where he could do whatever he wanted with her.’

’Moreover, this girl was the only one whose Loyalty had reached 100 without any... ’in-depth exchanges’ yet.’

’But to think this girl saw me as some petty guy.’

’Would I really get angry over something like that?’

But Wang Qiqi just pressed half her body against his chest. "Boss, I get it now. I’m taking the initiative. It can be whenever you want... just don’t be angry anymore, okay?"

"I’m really not angry," Chen Jincheng said, exasperated. Still, seeing the girl throwing herself at him like this, he offered a placating word. "Just focus on picking a song with me. The second cover video I film for you has to be a hit. I don’t want to tarnish my reputation, and I want to get you another surge of fans."

"Mhm!" Wang Qiqi nodded.

Little Maru, who was in the middle of getting her makeup done, naturally noticed how intimate the two of them were acting. She let out an exasperated sigh.

’This is just unbearable to watch.’

’Seriously, what is wrong with her?’

’I’ve only just stepped aside to get my makeup done, and she’s already all over him.’

’Are all the women at Second-Life Star this clingy and forward?’

...

"This one... ’Crescent Bay’!" Chen Jincheng said suddenly, after looking through the songs Wang Qiqi had covered in her past life for a while.

"This song is beautiful," Wang Qiqi said in surprise. Moreover, she realized the song seemed to be a perfect fit for her.
