Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 332 - Chapter 332 Chapter 259 His Value

Chapter 332: Chapter 259: His Value Chapter 332: Chapter 259: His Value In the hotel room, Ye Zi was dumbfounded by Liu Jiani’s words.

She thought she was already a fairly open-minded person.

Moreover, her own preferences were already quite unique.

But in front of this seasoned beauty, she felt like she was nothing.

What did she mean by us three should enjoy life together, and that’s more important than anything else?

Let’s not mention the sound of your schemes of embracing everyone, already resonating throughout the room, are you sure it’s… the three of us?

Ye Zi had never thought that their boss wasn’t reaching out to other girls at this stage.

Not to mention anything else, she used to work at Shen Minglang’s bar as a bartender, and she had seen Shen Qingning.

That night when Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning enjoyed the evening breeze, it was he who had gone to Juiyin to pick her up, and Ye Zi saw it all.

It was a night that made her feel utterly inferior.

Whether it was family background, looks, figure, temperament… Shen Qingning’s overall qualifications were simply invincible.

Fortunately, she was always sensible and had always been clear about her own position.

Honestly, even though Liu Jiani’s overall qualifications were also very good, as a Chinese-French mix, she had a unique French flair, but Ye Zi still felt that compared to the cool and elegant Shen Qingning, she was still lacking a bit.

“But her outlandish idea, whether men would resist it or not… well, that’s really hard to say.” Ye Zi was not particularly clear about that.

Seeing that Ye Zi was ignoring her, Liu Jiani immediately gossiped, “What are you and your young boss chatting about on WeChat?”

“About the new Christmas products for the store,” Ye Zi replied.

“Ah– just chatting about work?” She continued, “Look at you, helping me with the photoshoot, saving him a lot of money on foreign models, and he doesn’t show any appreciation?”

Ye Zi glanced at Liu Jiani, who was dressed in a gray stepmother dress, still holding her phone in both hands, waiting for Cheng Zhu’s response, and said, “I’m willing to do it!”

She really wanted to demonstrate her value in front of Cheng Zhu, even if it was just a little bit.

About the Christmas costume from Persistent Visit, the factory had already begun prototyping a few days ago.

Cheng Zhu had prepared two designs, one of which was already made, and Chen Bin had sent photos of it in the afternoon.

Now he was sending this design to Ye Zi to check it out.

“Boss, this new product looks really nice!” Ye Zi went into praise mode.

But she sincerely thought that this Christmas costume was beautiful, and it would definitely look great in photos.

Women, during the holidays, love to take photos that capture the festive atmosphere.

“Do you like it? Then I’ll personally take a couple of photos for you at that time,” Cheng Zhu said.

“Yes, please!” Ye Zi replied happily.

It was just such a small matter, but it made her feel that her recent relentless work day and night was all worth it.

And taking photos meant they would meet.

As long as they could meet, she would have a chance to shine.

Thinking this, she felt a bit restless.

Liu Jiani got up, wearing her stepmother dress and high heels with red soles, and walked around Ye Zi two times.

“What are you chatting about, you seem totally smitten!” she teased.

Ye Zi helplessly said, “Can you stop gossiping about my chat content?”

“Alright, alright.”

…

…

In the car, Cheng Zhu and Ye Zi chatted for a bit more, arranging to shoot the new Christmas products next Wednesday.

After their chat, he put down his phone and drove towards Xinhang Apartment.

Returning to his spacious one-bedroom apartment, Cheng Zhu first went to the bathroom to freshen up and then changed into pajamas before lying in bed to continue chatting with Ye Zi.

“It turns out she hasn’t finished the photoshoot with Liu Jiani yet?” Cheng Zhu was somewhat surprised by this.

Recalling the first time he met Liu Jiani and that extraordinary conversation, he thought:

“How old are you?”

“I’m eighteen.”

“I’m a 75E.”

These photos of the Chinese-French model are probably going to be quite appealing, right?

Speaking of which, he suddenly asked Ye Zi to send him some to take a look. Ye Zi would definitely betray Liu Jiani and forsake her professional ethics as a photographer by sending Cheng Zhu the photos for a little enjoyment.

But he wouldn’t actually make such a request.

“Ye Zi just mentioned that Liu Jiani has been busy abroad recently and then went to see a fashion show in France, so the photoshoot was delayed?”

Cheng Zhu opened Liu Jiani’s social network to check.

“Wow, she actually went to see an LV show,” Cheng Zhu nodded repeatedly.

If Liu Jiani was really a talented fashion designer, then her invitation to the event was understandable.

But in reality, she wasn’t…

This wealthy girl’s own women’s clothing designs barely sold and had little fame.

“I wonder how she managed to get in there,” Cheng Zhu thought as he browsed her photos from the show.

He was well aware that many wealthy girls in China like to design their own clothes and then launch their own trendy brands.

Especially a few years later, the trend of domestic labels in China picked up quite significantly, with some people actually making a fortune from it.

Some brands, even though not widely known, could become overnight sensations through certain operational tactics and collaborations with so-called niche boutiques.

Even for a casual garment, prices start at over a thousand.

There was always a gap between these prices and those of luxury brands, but compared to some international trendy labels, the difference wasn’t much.

“Liu Jiani is on the wrong path.”

“These so-called trendy brands with not-so-low prices aren’t going to take off with her current model.”

Cheng Zhu knew a thing or two about such insider details.

But he wasn’t close to this mixed-race woman, so he wouldn’t offer any tips.

She didn’t hold much value for Cheng Zhu, so he wouldn’t provide her with any value in return.

Meanwhile, in another hotel room, internet celebrity Qiqi was experiencing the value Cheng Zhu could offer.

She had edited the video about 15 minutes earlier.

Since the content wasn’t extensive and Cheng Zhu had given clear instructions on how to edit it, her efficiency was quite high.

In fact, some so-called beauty influencers don’t really like to post videos.

Photos can be easily photoshopped, but videos are relatively more troublesome.

Constantly posting videos can easily expose some shortcomings in their appearance.

Not that it means seeing them on video spells instant death, but some people just aren’t photogenic; they don’t look like they do in their videos in real life.

But Qiqi was photogenic, and Meng Yiyi as Cheng Zhu’s top broadcaster from a previous life was likely the photogenic type too.

This internet celebrity was actually quite eager to post this video on Weibo.

Because these days, Ancient Mountain Culture was promoting “Sheep” a lot, and she could ride on their coat tails just right.

So, she sent the edited video to Cheng Zhu for approval the moment it was ready.

Cheng Zhu checked it and felt there were no major issues, so he told her to just go ahead and upload it.

“This Qiqi seems really eager to draw in more traffic,” he thought to himself.

In fact, just after Qiqi posted the video on Weibo, she was constantly monitoring the data, hoping the video would perform well.

Not long after the video was released, she started receiving quite a few likes.

Judging by the timing, these people hadn’t even finished watching the video content.

Some die-hard fans are just like that, no matter what you post, I’ll like it first!

Qiqi checked the fans who liked the video and soon noticed a familiar nickname, then involuntarily curled her lips a bit.

Hmm, it was a like from Xu Shao.

She guessed Xu Shao hadn’t even watched the video yet.

If he had, he would definitely know right away that she was promoting “Sheep.”

And knowing that this video was recorded in Building 212 at Dongda University and that Cheng Zhu’s voice also appeared in the video,

Well, after Xu Shao finished watching the video, how he would feel, Qiqi didn’t really care.

On the contrary, she always felt that Xu Shao was quite clueless.

Moreover, she couldn’t really understand what he perceived as so-called romance.

“Should I find it romantic that he likes every single one of my social media posts and all my tweets, even when it’s about Youu Come to Play or ‘Sheep’?”

“He clearly is annoyed by it, but he still likes every one of them.”

He’s moved by his own gestures, and she just finds it weird.

Some of those self-touching behaviors in relationships are really foolish.

It’s like, in the dead of winter, for some unknown reason, you decide to buy her breakfast early in the morning in the freezing weather, then huffing and puffing, you run to her apartment to deliver it.

You are moved by your own actions, feeling so much love for her.

But all she wants is to sleep in on a winter morning and you ended up waking her up.

Xu Shao is that type of person.

He is indeed willing to give a lot in a relationship, but his efforts don’t necessarily stem from her actual needs.

Many become clowns in relationships because they don’t quite get it right when they are too accommodating.

They often use some kind of self-punishing methods to create what they think is a romantic notion, whether standing under her window on a chilly winter, or rushing through the rain to deliver her a cup of milk tea. When they think back, they often feel as heroic as Qiao Feng battling at Juxian Manor or Guan Yu riding solo for thousands of miles, whereas for the other person, you didn’t have to stand there, and a cup of milk tea is just a cup of milk tea. It can’t bear all those emotions you think it does.

And Cheng Zhu?

He just knows exactly what you need.

Just like this promotional video, not only did he benefit from it, but he also let Qiqi experience a thrill.

“Hey, there are way more comments under the video compared to usual!” Within just twenty minutes, she already felt the difference.

The two sisters were staying in a twin room at the hotel, each in their own bed.

Meng Yiyi, lying on her side in her own bed, curiously asked, “Sister, are the statistics for this video really that much better than usual?”

“Yeah, and by quite a lot!” Qiqi was half-lying on the bed, propped up by a pillow.

Hearing this, Meng Yiyi instantly understood why Qiqi wanted Cheng Zhu’s help with the video and why she listened to him so closely.

Apparently, it wasn’t just about getting close to him, or just to win his favor.

But because this guy had some truly unique capabilities!

That’s why the owner of the internet celebrity company was willing to collaborate with him, and why just helping Qiqi with a video could excite her for an entire day!

Since Meng Yiyi also appeared in the video, Qiqi specially mentioned Meng Yiyi’s Weibo account.

This enabled this girl, who also aspired to break into the internet celebrity circle, to silently watch her own Weibo followers increase.

Her Weibo account was indeed gaining followers along with her.

“If I could ride on his coat tails in a few more videos like this, maybe I could become a little internet celebrity too!” she thought.

Watching the continuously increasing number of followers on Weibo, this budding star curled up in her blanket, her eyes sparkling, deep in thought.
