The people in the company were a little puzzled as to why he would take on the job of an agent and personally take care of Jiang Xun. There were even people who suspected him of having an unspeakable relationship with her.
However, in the livestream, Jiang Xun had proved herself with her own ability, and so the employees immediately felt that Yicheng was indeed the general manager for a good reason: he had a unique, long-term goal in mind.
“No wonder President Wang personally took on the role of a manager and signed Jiang Xun on.”
“Jiang Xun has only been registered for three weeks, and not a single agent in the company has expressed any intention of signing her. If President Wang were to directly hand Jiang Xun over to an agent, it’s inevitable that the other party wouldn’t put in any effort on her and end up wasting her talent.”
“It makes sense that President Wang would personally manage Jiang Xun to prevent the company from losing one of our talents.”
When Yicheng thought of the discussions in the company group, he still felt proud and elated!
“You’ve only had an account in Shanpin for less than a month, yet you’ve already exceeded 10 million subscribers.”Yicheng’s face was flushed with excitement. “For today’s livestream, you’re firmly at the top in terms of viewership and gifts received from viewers! Even the company’s long-established internet celebrity has been eclipsed by you.”
“As long as you maintain your current momentum, in a few months, you’ll be the number one big boss of Shanpin!” At this point, Yicheng was no longer the general manager of Shanpin, but rather Jiang Xun’s personal manager.
“Shanpin’s big boss…” Jiang Xun rubbed her fingers together.
“Yes!” Yicheng looked even more excited than Jiang Xun herself. His entire person was immersed in the enjoyment of a beautiful future. “When the time comes, you will receive even more resources from the company.”
“If there are more fans, does that mean there will be more haters?” Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up.
Seeing that, Yicheng thought that she was feeling stressed from being hounded by haters recently, so he quickly tried to reassure her.
“This is a hurdle that you must go through after you become famous. Let’s look at popular mainstream celebrities rather than online ones—which one of them doesn’t have dissenters? The more popular you are, the more fans you’ll have, and the more haters you’ll have. In fact, I’d be more worried if you didn’t have any haters! Don’t worry about them and just be yourself. People like that will see everything you do as being wrong. It’s also not like you can make everyone like you, right?”
Jiang Xunyi was full of anticipation. “No one can compete with me for the position of Shanpin’s big boss!”
Haters, big boss Xuni is here!
Seeing that Jiang Xun wasn’t scared off by the haters, Yicheng heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in encouragement. “That’s right, what do they count for? They can only be enraged by their inability to hit the keyboard.”
After saying that, Yicheng suddenly remembered something. “Ah, that’s right. The 30th of next month is the annual Shanpin Influencer’s Day.”
As a clueless newbie, Jiang Xun had become a Shanpin top internet celebrity with more than ten million fans within three weeks. It was definitely a special case that could not be replicated. However, although she was already in such a position, her knowledge of the field of internet celebrities was only a little more than zero.
With this in mind, Yicheng took the initiative to explain more without Jiang Xun needing to ask.”Shanpin is now the largest video platform in the country. Influencer Day has been an annual event for the past five years in which we invite internet celebrities from all walks of life to stream on Shanpin. Some internet celebrities might be signed up with other agencies than Shanpin, but they also upload short videos and live stream goods on Shanpin. Influencer Day will be livestreamed on Shanpin, at which time people will flood into the livestream to watch what’s happening.”
“Apart from the fans who follow their own streamers, many passerby fans will also be curious about what online celebrities look like in real life without beauty filters,” Yicheng said. “Don’t forget to dress up when the time comes. With your looks, you won’t lose.”
He had seen Jiang Xun in person, so he had extra confidence in her. She could definitely crush anyone in the entertainment industry, let alone an online celebrity who relied on beauty filters to look good.
“By the way, we will start promoting Influencer Day half a month early,” Yicheng said to Jiang Xun. “There will be a poll for viewers to vote which live streamer they want to see the most, so you should upload more videos and live streams calling on the netizens to vote for you.”
Jiang Xun agreed to his suggestion. After hanging up, she looked at her phone calendar. October 30th happened to be a Friday. It seemed that the event would be starting in the evening, so it wouldn’t delay her from going to class.
At this time, Yicheng sent her an invitation through wechat. The invitation had the starting time for the event written on it.
Immediately after, Yicheng sent her another message.
Yicheng: “The red carpet event starts at 5pm on the 30th. After entering the stadium, the activity celebration will officially start at 7pm.”
Jiang Xun: “Okay.”
Yicheng: “Don’t forget to prepare a suitable dress! You’re the most popular newcomer this year, so it’s very likely that you’ll win the best newcomer award or something. Even if you don’t win, you’ll still be shortlisted. When the time comes, all the cameras will be on you, so make sure your dress is grand, preferably a gown or a long dress. Don’t let others beat you.”
Jiang Xun: “…Okay.”
When she left the Jiang family house, she didn’t bring any of the clothes she had bought back then. She also didn’t have any clothes that were suitable for this kind of activity. Even after earning money, she’d only bought a few sets of clothes that were suitable for everyday wear.
Since she had enough time, Jiang Xun thought that she might as well search the internet to see if there was a dress she could buy. It would be best if it was a dress that was suitable for everyday wear—she didn’t want to buy an overly fancy dress just for this event.
What a waste of money.
Jiang Xun was searching online for a dress when she heard Daxin click her tongue.
“What’s Wrong?” Haina also heard it.
“Lin Youyan just posted an invitation to Shanpin’s Influencer Day. She’s going this year,” Daxin said.
“Hasn’t she gone before?” asked Haina. “She’s an internet celebrity with more than 20 million followers.”
“Didn’t she just become an adult?” Jiajia mused. “She was busy with the college entrance exam before, so how could she attend such an event? Previously, she was underage, so Shanpin didn’t dare to invite her, so this should be her first time getting to participate in the event. She must be very excited and thinking of going there to crush Jiang Xun.”
“Speaking of which, she’s also one of the top talents of Shanpin media,” Daxin said, then looked to Jiang Xun. “By the way, Jiang Xun, did Shanpin media invite you, too?”
Jiang Xun nodded. “President Wang just called me about this matter and asked me to attend.”
“Lin Youyan probably doesn’t know that President Wang is personally managing you, right?” Daxin asked, taking pleasure in Jiang Xun’s misfortune.
Jiang Xun had never considered this question. “I don’t know whether her manager told her or not. Besides, we’re in the same company, so it’s not a secret that President Wang is managing me.”
“Lin Youyan probably doesn’t know. She’s so narrow minded that she even did a livestream just to mock Jiang Jiang. Today, she even chose to do a livestream at the same time in an attempt to divert the audience from Jiang Jiang’s livestream. If she knew that President Wang was personally managing Jiang Jiang, she’d probably explode. How could she have endured until now?” Jiajia curled her lips.
