Chapter 84: The Windfall Female Influencer
Today's news, a bar DJ dreaming of returning to rural life: The female DJ from the South Heaven Bar on the bar street in the Ring City, West Capital City, desires to return to the countryside to film videos of rural life and promote her hometown. Within a year she will become an influencer, and her monthly revenue share from her account on the video platform will exceed one million. Investing in her now is a hidden treasure.
Contact information for related personnel is included on the second page.
Chen Yiyang, who woke up in bed, didn't want to move, so today he stayed in bed scrolling through his phone with a hungry stomach.
Then he came across today's hidden treasure information.
This time the hidden treasure is actually investing in an influencer.
No, it should be a future influencer.
The influencer's account on the video platform can generate more than one million per month.
That's account platform revenue share, not including private advertisements and similar income.
So, this person will be quite popular in the future.
Chen Yiyang decided within a second.
Of course, this treasure should be picked up.
Sponsoring her to go back to the countryside to shoot videos can earn quite a bit. After signing a contract with her, he would receive a high and stable monthly revenue share.
Chen Yiyang carefully browsed through the detailed content of the information.
He found out that she is working in a bar now, so she would only work at night. He just needed to go to that bar in the evening.
Having decided this, Chen Yiyang continued lying in bed playing with his phone.
Until noon, when the little accountant came back from the hotel and brought lunch for Chen Yiyang.
Only then did Chen Yiyang lazily get out of bed.
After having lunch, he received a call from the cleaning company.
He then remembered that he still had unfinished business.
Although a box of jade hidden in the basement of the house had been taken away by him, the cleaning work in the house was still ongoing.
Chen Yiyang hadn't settled the payment with the cleaning company yet.
So, Chen Yiyang drove over to Bright Road in the Lotus District.
Because he was worried that the house would continue to emit odors and pollute his car.
Thus, Chen Yiyang got out of the car at the corner of the street and walked all the way to the front of the house.
After two days of busy work by over a dozen cleaning employees.
The house, which originally smelled horrible, improved a lot.
The basic cleaning inside the house was mostly completed, and now the renovation team was prying open the floor and wall covering, dealing with the pests hidden underneath and inside.
"Are you satisfied with the current state?" the cleaning company's manager asked Chen Yiyang.
"Satisfied." Chen Yiyang nodded, seeing that the house finally looked livable for humans.
This way, he'd have an explanation for the homeowner's son.
Of course, even after such large-scale pest control, expecting this house to be as clean as a regular house was impossible.
Some bug eggs would survive in corners and create new pests eventually.
Unless the house was completely torn down and rebuilt, it needed regular sanitation cleaning to prevent pest resurgence.
After paying the remaining balance to the cleaning company and renovation team, Chen Yiyang called the homeowner's son, telling him the house work was done.
Before long, the homeowner's son arrived.
After inspecting the house.
The homeowner turned to Chen Yiyang, his previously satisfied expression suddenly shifting to feigned anger.
"I asked you to clean our home's hygiene, who told you to tear off our wall covering and floor?"
Chen Yiyang was bewildered by the sudden questioning but replied, "Didn't you suggest earlier that merely surface cleaning wasn't enough, so tear off the floor and wall covering for deep cleaning?"
"I said that?" The homeowner's son first questioned, then quickly denied, "When did I say it? Do you have evidence?"
Chen Yiyang thought, where can I find evidence? They were just chatting by the street; he didn't think of recording it.
"Since there's no evidence, you made the decision to damage our walls and floors. You need to compensate."
Hearing the homeowner's words, Chen Yiyang felt like swearing.
Compensate your mother selling flowers!
Fortunately, the homeowner's son didn't really intend to get compensation from Chen Yiyang.
He then said again, "Considering you cleaned our home, I won't ask for compensation, but don't expect the cleaning fee either."
Chen Yiyang hadn't intended to ask for money from him anyway.
After all, the jade he took from the house was worth over three million.
So he directly said, "Your old man already paid. We're even."
With that, he turned and left.
What does he mean my old man already paid?
Hearing Chen Yiyang's response, the homeowner's son froze.
His old man had already passed away; how did he pay him?
Chen Yiyang didn't bother with the homeowner's son anymore.
After all, he already dealt with the box of jade completely.
Even if someone saw him taking items from that house, now they couldn't find any evidence.
That was also why he didn't take the high-speed train or plane, but drove to Jin City to sell the items.
Because this can maximize the secrecy of him bringing a box of jade from West Capital City to Jin City.
After leaving Lianhu District, Chen Yiyang first went to the hotel for an inspection.
After fishing out all the catfish from the septic tank, the hotel rooms finally didn't make strange noises at night.
As for whether those catfish were deliberately put in by the hotel kitchen staff, it's no longer meaningful to investigate that now.
Chen Yiyang believes that once Liu Yiyi returns to manage the hotel, she will handle these matters well.
However, there's still a hidden threat regarding the hotel.
That is Zhao Cheng's coveting of the hotel.
Although Chen Yiyang temporarily intimidated Zhao Cheng using the old man's license plate, since they know the old man's license plate, they can naturally find ways to get in touch with the old man.
If they find out how this car ended up with Chen Yiyang, his intimidation over them would disappear.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang plans to visit the old man in the coming days to see if he can grab hold of him firmly.
Of course, he can't go empty-handed.
So, Chen Yiyang plans to keep an eye out for good things during this time to bring along when he meets the old man.
At night, South Heaven Bar.
Rather than a bar, this place is more like a combination of a bar and a nightclub.
The front of the entire bar has a huge performance stage with many dancers performing on it.
A long-haired DJ stands in the corner mixing tracks.
Chen Yiyang observed the scene for a while and noticed that every so often, the dancers on stage would change, and the DJ would take the opportunity to rest for a while.
So Chen Yiyang found the security guard watching over the employee lounge entrance, gave him a thousand cash, and snuck inside.
Not long after, the female DJ who had finished a set and was about to return to the employee lounge to rest appeared before Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang immediately took out his phone and pretended to make a call.
"That previous female host quit? Why?
She said the countryside was too tough, she couldn't handle it?
What was she doing before, to tell me this now, that the countryside is too tough and she doesn't want to go?
The company currently sees great potential in rural hosts, thinking it's the next big trend.
Everything is prepared, the funds are in place.
And now you tell me she doesn't want to do it?!"
Along with Chen Yiyang's increasingly angry tone.
The female DJ passing by heard every word clearly.
So she suddenly stopped.
"Alright then, try to persuade that female host again, and if she's still unwilling, make sure you find me someone who is willing to discuss rural topics, or you'll have to go to the countryside to stream for me yourself!"
As Chen Yiyang hung up the phone, the female DJ happened to walk up to him.
"Sorry." Chen Yiyang pretended to think he was blocking her path, so he quickly sidestepped to let her pass.
"Hello, I'm Li Qiqi." The female DJ not only did not leave but introduced herself to Chen Yiyang.
"Oh, hello. I'm Mr. Li, here to find a friend today. But she didn't come to work. I'm leaving now."
After speaking, Chen Yiyang turned to leave.
But Li Qiqi stopped him.
"What is this?" Chen Yiyang feigned confusion as he looked at Li Qiqi.
"Can we find a place to talk?" Li Qiqi mustered the courage to say to Chen Yiyang.
She felt she might be encountering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If she misses this chance, she will deeply regret it.
Coming from a rural background and having struggled for years in the city, she knows how precious an opportunity can be.
"Okay." Chen Yiyang certainly welcomed this but he still pretended he wasn't busy, and thus was willing to chat with a stranger.
So Li Qiqi called the bar manager to request leave, and escorted Chen Yiyang out of the bar.
Since it was late at night and they were in bar street.
So there wasn't really anywhere to go, they simply bought two drinks and walked to a nearby bus stop to sit and chat.
"Mr. Li, I overheard your phone call just now, saying you were looking for a female host to go to the countryside?"
"Yes." Chen Yiyang nodded.
"Do you think I'm suitable?" Li Qiqi promptly volunteered.
Chen Yiyang thought to himself, I came precisely for you, the intel says you're capable, you must be capable.
But he had to maintain a professional front.
So he carefully looked over Li Qiqi.
To be honest, if Chen Yiyang truly were a boss of an NCN.
He absolutely wouldn't think the stylishly dressed, slightly aloof girl before him could go to the countryside as a host to shoot videos.
The main issue is that she's too mismatched with the rural vibe.
Perhaps noticing the expression in Chen Yiyang's eyes, Li Qiqi immediately continued speaking.
"Actually, I grew up in the countryside."
