Jiang Cheng hadn't expected Little Crispy to be such a drama queen in real life.
Jiang Cheng activated the Character Scanning System on her.
[Name: Bai Xiaoxiao]
[Age: 20]
[Height: 155 cm]
[Appearance: 92]
[Figure: 94]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 50]
After reading it, Jiang Cheng's brow twitched.
When Little Crispy knew he was Poseidon, her favorability value toward him could reach around 65. Now, without knowing who he was, her favorability value was a mere 50 points.
With such a low favorability value, she was actually acting so happy.
Looking at it this way, this Little Crispy was a total drama queen.
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, the door opened.
The receptionist immediately bowed to Jiang Cheng with a smile and said, "Chairman Jiang, good afternoon. My apologies, I didn't see you right away."
Jiang Cheng gave the sweet receptionist a bright smile and said gently, "It's fine, don't be nervous. I was delayed by meeting two acquaintances. I haven't seen you for a while, you've gotten prettier. Your lipstick color looks great today. Go back to work, I'll head in myself."
The reception desk was just a facade; usually, when there was nothing to do, they either helped with spreadsheets or slacked off.
Jiang Cheng didn't have any particular issue with this. For modern youth, wasn't slacking off at work the norm?
Suddenly being praised by Jiang Cheng, the receptionist's heart soared with excitement: "Okay, President Jiang."
After the girl turned to leave, Little Crispy and Liu Yuning's mouths both hung open in shock.
Little Crispy covered her mouth and asked with an exaggerated expression, "Onii-chan, you're the great Poseidon?? The owner of this company??"
Jiang Cheng nodded calmly at her words.
After getting confirmation, Little Crispy froze for several seconds. Then, she adjusted her expression and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Onii-chan, why didn't you say you were so handsome? If I'd known you were this handsome, I wouldn't have been conflicted for so long!!"
Seeing Little Crispy acting cute toward him, Jiang Cheng looked at the scanning system again.
The 50 points of favorability from just now had barely risen to 70 points.
It was five points higher than when they hadn't met in person online.
Seeing that the expression on Jiang Cheng's face hadn't changed much,
Little Crispy suddenly fell into a state of self-doubt.
Could she have been wrong??
Jiang Cheng said he wanted to sign her and often played games with her; was it not because he had taken a fancy to her??
Or did Jiang Cheng not like soft and cute lolis like her??
You should know, she had been streaming since she graduated from high school, and she had been loved by many otaku since her very first stream.
Although she wasn't a superstar Streamer, she had a lot of male fans.
Crucially, those male fans weren't just casual passersby, but true die-hard fans.
As long as she went live, regardless of wind, rain, or how busy they were, a large wave of die-hard fans would always show up in the stream to chat with her, rain or shine.
Relying on these fans, her monthly share of the revenue easily exceeded ten or twenty thousand yuan.
Not only was Little Crispy in self-doubt, but Liu Yuning, who was standing beside her, also put away his usual slightly rebellious expression.
Even his posture became upright, and his gaze toward Jiang Cheng instantly became respectful.
Without paying attention to their subtle changes, Jiang Cheng said to them indifferently, "Don't just stand at the door, come in first."
As Jiang Cheng strode into the company, the two of them quickly followed him inside.
After walking just a few steps, they saw Xie Bing and Shen Zheng walking out from inside with flustered expressions.
Upon seeing Jiang Cheng, the two of them immediately bowed respectfully and said, "President Jiang, good afternoon."
"Chairman Jiang, we didn't know you were coming, please excuse us."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand at them very casually: "I came on a whim. Let's head to the conference room first."
Originally, Jiang Cheng really hadn't planned on coming, but after receiving a message from Little Crispy this morning, he decided to come and take a look on a whim.
"How has the company been lately??"
After Jiang Cheng spoke, Xie Bing immediately said, "Everything is normal. The company has added a TikTok operations department and poached two Internet Celebrities with millions of followers, as well as a few smaller ones with potential. Additionally, Miss Qiao's TikTok followers are approaching 9 million. Miss Zhou's side is a bit slower because she's busy with her studies, but her followers are also growing fast, breaking 5 million. Our operations department is still maintaining the popularity of both of them..."
Along the way, Shen Zheng and Xie Bing were telling Jiang Cheng about the company's recent status.
Listening from behind, Little Crispy and Liu Yuning couldn't help but look at each other.
According to their reports, Jiang Cheng's company had burned through over 15 million yuan in just over a month on online marketing alone.
This figure was an astronomical sum compared to the guild they were currently signed with.
Even for operations, spending a hundred thousand on you would be considered the absolute maximum.
Although the two of them weren't failed Internet Celebrities,
their ability to monetize was very limited.
Little Crispy only had a little over 600,000 followers.
With such few followers, let alone 10 million, even if it were only 1 million, given Little Crispy's current situation, she would have to earn for several years just to break even.
She knew herself that even if she jumped to another company,
no company would easily put out so much money to do such marketing for her.
And although Liu Yuning had more followers,
their TikTok account didn't belong to him alone; it belonged to the Modeng Brothers.
The Modeng Brothers had recently become a bit popular, so their TikTok followers were increasing very quickly, and had now broken 3 million.
However, this traffic wasn't created by the company spending money on operations.
Rather, it was diverted there by their own live streaming.
Their group had first started streaming on the YY platform.
Over several years, they had seen highs and lows.
Fortunately, they had persisted silently, and over the years, they had accumulated many fans.
But later, because their data was mediocre,
the few of them discussed and started going to street and outdoor locations to stream.
It was also because of this shift that they reached the masses and gained a lot of exposure opportunities.
Because they sang well outdoors, they attracted many onlookers.
A large number of people began to spontaneously film videos of them and post them on TikTok.
As a result, they started to go viral on TikTok, and their followers increased more and more.
This rise to fame had an element of luck; it wasn't something the company had deliberately smashed money to create.
He knew that if he wanted to take it a step further, he still had to find a large company with strength that was willing to spend money.
Although their popularity on TikTok was decent,
in the eyes of the general public, he was still a nobody.
If you mentioned a random celebrity, many people would know them.
But if you mentioned Liu Yuning of the Modeng Brothers, nine times out of ten, people wouldn't know him.
He knew this problem, and Jiang Cheng knew it too.
From the first moment he saw him, Jiang Cheng understood Liu Yuning's intent.
After all, Liu Yuning had always wanted to take the celebrity route.
The reason he followed Little Crispy over was likely because he had his eye on Xingchen Entertainment Company.
It was now 2017, and the Modeng Brothers were starting to become a little famous in the internet cover song circle.
