Chapter 261: How Did You Resist the Urge to Show Off?

“Isn’t becoming famous a good thing? Look at those female internet celebrities Wenhao has been cultivating on the forum recently. The less they wear the better attention they get. They keep coming up with new ways to gain fame every day.”

Su Nai grumbled and sat down on a chair.

“Wenhao actually did something so unscrupulous? What are their IDs give them to me. As the boss I need to sternly warn them.”

Jiang Qin slapped the table his face flushed with anger.

Dong Wenhao had just returned from eating and heard their conversation as soon as he entered the office: “Boss Su Nai doesn’t have the IDs I’ll send them to you. Please harshly warn them boss.”

“Stop wasting time hurry and send them to me. I’m about to burst with profanity!” Jiang Qin seethed.

“Okay boss right away!”

A minute later Jiang Qin received ten account IDs. He quickly accessed them through the backend management system. Not only could he see published content but even private and unpublished drafts.

This was the benefit of having admin privileges.

In the internet age all information is transparent. As long as you like going online it’s basically the same as being naked.

Wow look at this one she really is naked.

Jiang Qin right-clicked to delete this unscrupulous content but accidentally saved it instead.

He shook his head and didn’t bother finding the locally saved photo to delete. The photo did nothing wrong no need to destroy evidence. Leave a way out in case paths cross again in the future.

After repeatedly reviewing this “fame-seeking content” Jiang Qin couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t know if Dong Wenhao really understood content incubation or if he still had dreams of being a literary master but he knew this kid definitely understood men.

Actually this is how the internet develops. Many well-known legitimate sites relied on flirting with boundaries to accumulate users in their early stages.

Why?

Because all professional high-quality content has a viewing threshold but raciness doesn’t.

Some people like basketball some don’t. Even if you show them an impressive video of a soaring windmill dunk those uninterested in basketball still won’t watch.

But raciness is different everyone loves raciness.

And with mere raciness even if the content is the same people will watch it over and over again!

That’s why this type of borderline content is the easiest for attracting users at the lowest cost. You don’t even need any equipment sometimes not even clothes.

Then later when you’ve grown big enough accumulated enough users gained enough fans slowly clean up your act and denounce raciness!

“Boss the boss’s wife is here.” Su Nai suddenly walked over with a cup casually commenting.

As soon as she finished speaking Jiang Qin quickly exited the forum grabbed a statistics sheet on the table and glanced at it only to realize he’d been tricked. The little rich girl was nowhere to be seen.

“Su Nai you’ve been quite mischievous lately huh?” Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows.

Su Nai fetched a cup of hot water and couldn’t help sneering: “Men really are no good.”

“Oh you’re talking like that now? Then I’ll change the password right now.”

Jiang Qin opened a certain video site and was about to change the password when he found his membership had expired this morning. He was a bit puzzled: “Su Nai the membership expired and you didn’t remind me?”

“I quit.” Su Nai acted aloof.

“Why?”

“Because last night I watched a video where a girl cried saying you can film it because I really love you but please don’t show it to anyone else okay? The guy said okay baby don’t be scared.”

Su Nai sipped her water with a stern expression: “It’s meaningless truly meaningless. They’re ruining love. I’ll never watch it again.”

Jiang Qin let go of the mouse: “Then I won’t indulge anymore.”

“Mm don’t. Let’s be good people together because if there’s no transaction there’s no killing.”

Dong Wenhao listened from across the room completely lost thinking what the hell are they even talking about? Is the site you’re discussing our site? I’m the content group supervisor so why haven’t I seen the things you have?

Right at this moment a flurry of footsteps sounded at the door. Professor Yan Cao Xinyue Hong Yan and Tang Lin all walked in.

They swiftly circled the office area with practiced ease and promptly sat in the spots they occupied last winter.

While passing Jiang Qin’s boss desk Hong Yan even took a fruit candy and placed it on Jiang Qin’s table.

“You all… what’s going on?” Jiang Qin was a bit perplexed.

Professor Yan sat across from him and unfolded a newspaper: “It’s too hot and I’m old so I can’t take it.”

“?”

Jiang Qin lifted his head and glanced at the whirring air conditioner his expression utterly wonderful: “No way Professor Yan the AC is on in your general office too. Do you really need to come leech off mine?”

Cao Xinyue couldn’t help coughing: “The general office’s electricity is paid by the school. Professor Yan doesn’t want to keep it on too much worrying others will think the old man is greedy for comfort. But it’s different here. Your AC is always on anyway so a few more people working won’t affect anything.”

“Holy crap Professor Yan you’re truly a man of integrity!” Jiang Qin was incredibly shocked thinking this old man has completely lost his sense of boundaries.

“No need for polite words. This is what I should do.”

Professor Yan waved his hand then looked up: “Right Linchuan TV seems to have broadcast news about you. What do you think about it?”

Jiang Qin froze for a second his expression turning solemn again: “I don’t think it’s a good thing. Group-buy’s brand value isn’t maximized yet and its competitiveness is too low. Once capital enters the market I might have to admit defeat in the northwest.”

“…”

Professor Yan brought up this topic originally to persuade him to act low-key but unexpectedly he had already considered this point. For a moment the old professor’s gaze was extremely surprised.

The business field is the field of wealth and fame and eighteen or nineteen is exactly the age when people are easily dazzled by riches and renown.

It’s like those students in school. They don’t even know how to spend their bit of money always wanting to treat others to meals or buy a new phone to show off every few days.

Not to mention someone like Jiang Qin who can do business across the whole city. When he walks he probably doesn’t even want his feet to touch the ground.

But he never expected Jiang Qin could hold himself back so calmly. Forget not being tempted at all he had even perceived the lurking perils after gaining fame.

This doesn’t just require a steady temperament. Because no matter how steady a person is they’ll still get carried away when encountering wealth and fame. To handle it with such perfect control actually requires an ample scope of vision.

Regarding this Professor Yan only had a five-word comment: He’s truly a dog.

“You’re right to think this way. What the capital market likes ambushing the most are those who stick out. If you can hide then you must hide.”

“Then Professor do you think I can still hide?” Jiang Qin poured him a cup of tea.

Professor Yan shook his head: “I think no matter how low-key you are you probably can’t hide for much longer.”

“Then I still have to find a way to hide. Even if I’m exposed myself group-buy must be concealed. At the very least it can’t be exposed too early now.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“I plan to use Zhihu as a shield for group-buy.” Jiang Qin voiced the decision he had secretly made.

Professor Yan fell silent for a moment. Although he didn’t know the specifics of how he would operate knowing the other party had preparations put him at ease: “I’m still quite curious. How did you restrain yourself from show… show… what’s that word again?”

Tang Lin immediately raised her hand: “Showing off!”

“Right you’ve already achieved dazzling accomplishments. Even if you just show your face in the whole city you’d definitely be greatly idolized. But at your age how can you hold back?”

“Professor to be honest with you sometimes I can’t help it either. Who doesn’t like showing off? So when I can’t restrain myself I’ll do it on a small scale like to classmates roommates student council president. Showing off to them is satisfying enough and won’t cause any bad effects. Simply a win-win.”

Professor Yan couldn’t help giving a thumbs up: “You’re the best!”

“You praise me too much.” Jiang Qin was extremely modest.

In the blink of an eye the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Qin returned to the dormitory from 208 still contemplating the hidden sword plan in his mind.

That’s right. Since group-buy is the sharpest sword in his hand and its bundled marketing with Wanzhong Mall is called the bright sword movement then of course this low-key approach can be called the hidden sword plan.

Damn fame is truly a headache!

The more Jiang Qin thought about the details the more his head ached so he simply stopped thinking. He quickly returned to the dorm planning to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf to relieve his worries.

But as soon as he pushed open the door he saw Cao Guangyu loudly shouting.

“Jiang prepare yourself I’m about to get famous!”

“?”

Seeing Jiang Qin’s puzzled gaze Cao Guangyu immediately opened an onsite message in the backend of the computer.

This onsite message was written by Dong Wenhao. The content was just about the internet celebrity cultivation plan decided for cross-provincial promotion.

The message content was also very simple. It said Cao Guangyu’s The Ordinary Young Master Cao had been selected as one of Zhihu’s top ten quality contents. They would provide him funding and hope he would continue striving to create more brilliance. In addition they would also heavily guide traffic to him making him a forum star.

“Jiang although Zhihu is yours but I’m the brightest star on the entire forum.” Cao Guangyu was extremely arrogant.

“Awesome.” Jiang Qin couldn’t help giving a thumbs up.

Cao was grinning so much his mouth was crooked: “Actually the internet is just like this the same as filming movies. No one cares who the director is everyone only idolizes the lead actor!”

“Ah yes yes yes!”

“Are you envious?”

Jiang Qin rubbed his temples: “Not envious I just have a bit of a headache.”

Cao Guangyu immediately let out a despicable laugh: “Envious to the point of headache?”

“No Linchuan TV wants to do an exclusive interview with me. Linchuan Financial News also wants to come interview me at the school along with Linchuan Youth Daily Linchuan Life. They’re all begging to see me but I don’t want to go. I just don’t know how to refuse.”

“…”

Cao Guangyu stiffened for three seconds then suddenly glared at him viciously: “Jiang we’re bros. I warn you when I show off in the future you’re not allowed to mess with me!”

Jiang Qin spat at him thinking if you don’t want to be messed with could I even do it to you? Then he turned and opened Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

Just at that moment, he suddenly received an incoming email notification. Opening it, he saw it clearly stated that his premium membership renewal on a certain video website was successful and would expire on June 17th in 10 years.

??????

Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment and carefully thought about who he had lent his membership to. It seemed there was no one else, only Su Nai.

Well damn, this female programmer only acted like a good person for half a day, huh? Was that the end of her post-nut clarity?

Fuck, seductive content is indeed invincible. To expand the forum across provinces, it seems impossible to do without sexiness!
