After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 200 I really need to control you.

Xu Zhengyao made a good arrangement; the six busty beauties certainly did not disappoint.

Really big.

But Liang Can actually acted like a gentleman this time. It wasn't because he thought the other woman's breasts were too big, but because, damn it, all six of them with big breasts had tattoos.

Just to emphasize, it's not that we can't stand people with tattoos.

But you already have a tattoo. If I don't discriminate against you, wouldn't you have gotten it for nothing?

"Next time, call me some high-end people. No one with an education below 211 is allowed in my private room. If they dare to eat my watermelon, I'll call the police!"

After making those harsh remarks, Liang Can went straight home to sleep.

The Spring Festival is actually quite tiring. You have to visit relatives and friends, drink and socialize. Before you can even recover, most people have to set off again to work hard for a living.

I stayed home for another day, then went out for a big meal with my parents, watched a movie, and took a family photo at a photo studio.

My mother, Lin Jing, wore a bright red cheongsam and had her makeup done beautifully; she even had a separate set of photos taken.

If Liang Can were really only 19 years old, he wouldn't have thought of doing these things.

It was because of his rebirth that he understood a truth: time flies by like an arrow, but photos can preserve every memorable moment.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Liang Can set off to return to Hangzhou.

"I'll try to come back for the May Day holiday. Love you, Mom and Dad!" Liang Can stretched his hand out of the car window and waved to Liang Qiwen and Lin Jing, who were watching him leave.

Even after the car had completely disappeared from the entrance of the residential area, Liang Qiwen and Lin Jing did not leave immediately, but remained standing there.

The mother stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to look towards the street, as if trying to find her son's car in the dense traffic.

"I didn't feel this way when Liang Can went to university, but this time when I came back for the Chinese New Year, I truly experienced it firsthand..."

Lin Jing sighed softly, "He has really grown up and doesn't need our protection anymore."

Liang Qiwen lit a cigarette, squinted, and slowly exhaled smoke rings: "Men will eventually spread their wings and fly high. We, as parents, can only accompany them for a part of their lives. In the many years to come, they still have to walk on their own."

Lin Jing's eyes suddenly lit up: "But if Liang Can brings me a grandson, then I'll have something to do again!"

"It's too early to talk about this now."

"It's good to be prepared for a rainy day; who can say for sure about these things?"

Liang Can arrived in Hangzhou around noon.

The school will start after the Lantern Festival. The student dormitories are still closed, but the studio can continue to work.

Not many people have returned to work. Senior Mu Cheng, Zheng Ting, and the Holy Grail trio are all back.

As soon as the Grail Trio returned, they buried themselves in their office and continued testing the app.

"Let's have a meeting first, the three of us."

Liang Can called Mu Cheng and Zheng Ting together.

"Our app has reached the final testing stage, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely face the test of going live within two months."

Liang Can tossed Zheng Ting a pack of cigarettes and gave Mu Cheng a jewelry box, a small gift from his boss to his trusted employee.

"So we need to start the pre-launch hype now. My initial plan is to find a few celebrities to film a blessing video for us, and then have them repost it on Weibo when the app is officially launched to generate buzz."

Zheng Ting gave three candidates he thought were good: "Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, and Liu Shishi."

Mu Cheng glanced at Zheng Ting: "Even if we sold everyone in our studio, including junior Liang Can, we still couldn't afford to hire just one of these three people."

"not necessarily."

Zheng Ting said seriously, "If we can create an opportunity to send our junior to the boss of these three female celebrities, maybe their boss will give us a very low price."

Liang Can almost kicked him: "You son of a bitch, do I have to sell myself to start a business?"

If you asked Liang Can to accompany any one of the three female celebrities, Liang Can wouldn't refuse.

Go accompany their boss?

You've probably insulted the neighbor, haven't you?

“It’s definitely unrealistic to hire A-list celebrities like that,” Liang Can said. “But we can hire celebrities who aren’t that famous, but who have dramas waiting to be broadcast this year. Maybe once the drama airs, these previously unknown artists will become hot stars.”

Mu Cheng looked at Liang Can: "But we don't know who will become a sensation."

Liang Can smiled and said, "It's okay, I know."

This is the benefit of being reborn: leveraging an information gap.

This year marks 15, and in Liang Can's memory, many phenomenal hit TV series were released this year.

The first to be affected are "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser".

Both dramas starred Hu Ge, and it was through these two dramas that Hu Ge experienced a career resurgence. Before that, he had been living off the success of the "Chinese Paladin" series for many years.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; even with Hu Ge's current status, Liang Can couldn't afford to hire him.

But it doesn't matter, there are two stars in these two dramas who are still very affordable right now, one is Jin Dong and the other is Wang Kai.

These two have been actors for many years, but they never became famous until "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser" aired. After that, they took off and have been popular ever since.

Jin Dong, needless to say, has been thriving in the comfort zone of urban elites, while Wang Kai has maintained his popularity for many years thanks to "Like a Flowing River".

Then there's "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Liang Can was deeply impressed by the actress Jin Chen, who is a graduate of the Beijing Dance Academy and has a strong professional background.

This year, thanks to the drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," she and Han Dongjun have become very popular among newcomers.

"And one more, Zhao Liying."

Liang Can said to Mu Cheng, "Although she is already very popular, she is not a top-tier actress. We can try to win her over. It would be great if we succeeded, but it's okay if we don't."

Zhao Liying will star in a fantasy romance drama this year, alongside Wallace Huo, titled "The Journey of Flower".

It was this drama that made Zhao Liying a hot A-list actress. Now, Liang Can might even steal her thunder and successfully secure a collaboration.

Mu Cheng wrote down the three names Liang Can mentioned. She only knew Zhao Liying; she had never heard of the other two.

"Mr. Liang, this is tantamount to gambling."

Mu Cheng was somewhat worried: "Assuming we manage to secure collaborations with all three of them, but the show doesn't become a hit, then all our money will have been wasted, and that's not a small amount."

Liang Can was naturally confident, but Mu Cheng's concerns were not unfounded.

She had no idea that these three would become so popular this year.

"Starting a business is sometimes a high-stakes gamble; if you lose, you just have to start over."

Such words are certainly unconvincing. Senior Mu Cheng is a very serious person, and she is truly willing to go head-to-head with Liang Can for the sake of the studio's future.

So Liang Can gave his prepared excuse: "Jin Dong and Wang Kai both have dramas waiting to be released, and the lead actor is Hu Ge, which is already a guarantee of high viewership. In addition, both of their dramas are produced by Daylight Entertainment. You may not know Daylight Entertainment, but you have definitely seen the dramas they have produced."

"For example, 'Battle of Changsha' and 'Our Parents' Love'."

"I see, I've seen both of these dramas!" Mu Cheng's eyes lit up, and she began to trust Liang Can's explanation.

Liang Can continued, "Zhao Liying goes without saying. She's someone we're trying to win over, but whether it will work out is still uncertain."

However, Liang Can had also considered this issue. If he wanted to impress Zhao Liying's company, the user profiles of his own app might be a good bargaining chip.

It's worth noting that female fans make up more than half of the fans of Campus Diary.

Women have always been the main force behind TV drama ratings!

Furthermore, Liang Can could even use his own accounts to promote and endorse their upcoming dramas—a practice still relatively new. In the future, in the era of short videos, every movie release will need to find several popular internet celebrities to promote it.

“Okay, I’ll contact them right away.” Mu Cheng closed her notebook and said to Liang Can, “But Mr. Liang, this time you might have to negotiate in person. I don’t think I’ll be a match for them.”

“Of course, after all, the entertainment industry is a deep and complex place, and you’re not experienced enough.” That was Liang Can’s original plan.

After saying that, Zheng Ting suddenly interjected: "President Liang, do you remember that woman who came to our studio last time and shamelessly wanted to acquire the APP, the one named Lin Ying?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" Liang Can thought to himself, is this girl up to something again?

"Her app seems to be launching soon, and she's been asking about our launch date. I guess she wants us to compete," Zheng Ting said.

is it?

Liang Can touched his chin, his eyes darting around.

He then said to Zheng Ting, "You do this: spread the word that I'm going to hire a superstar to endorse the upcoming app, a really, really big star!"

After listening, Zheng Ting offered his opinion: "What if Lin Ying also goes to a big star for endorsement?"

Hehe, that's exactly the effect I wanted.

Unless you bring Hu Ge over, how many people this year can be more popular than the three I invited?
If Lin Ying were to spend a lot of money, or even use most of her funds to hire celebrities to endorse her products, that would be exactly what Liang Can wanted.

A few days later, the festive atmosphere gradually faded, and the once quiet streets were once again filled with bustling migrant workers.

Workers have been very resentful lately, and you can hardly see smiling faces on the subway, and of course, you don't see them on ordinary days either.

I'm already crammed onto the subway, and you still want me to laugh?

You think I'm a born workaholic?

An office building in the CBD.

Lin Ying sat on the sofa in her office, listening to a report from the public relations department.

"Mr. Lin, according to reliable sources, Liang Can's team is planning to hire a top domestic celebrity to endorse his app and has already begun the search for a candidate."

The public relations manager, standing next to Lin Ying, said, "The endorsement fee could be as high as tens of millions."

"In the tens of millions?"

Lin Ying looked up, somewhat incredulous: "Does he have that much money?"

The implication is that Liang Can can certainly come up with tens of millions of yuan right now, but if he uses it all to hire celebrities to endorse his products, where will he get the rest of the funding?

The public relations manager thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Perhaps Liang Can has found a new source of funding during the Chinese New Year. As you probably know, Mr. Lin, there are many investors in the market who are optimistic about Liang Can. I think there will definitely be more people offering funds to Liang Can after the New Year."

Lin Ying knew this, of course, but she didn't want to admit it.

"Who is his target? Do you have any information?" Lin Ying asked.

The PR manager shook his head: "We don't know yet, we're still investigating. But there are only a handful of celebrities in China who are suitable to endorse this kind of app, you can probably guess who it is."

As he spoke, the public relations manager gave Lin Ying a list of several names.

Lin Ying frowned and scratched her thigh covered in stockings: "In that case, you should also go and talk to celebrities of similar caliber, go directly to their agents, we need to create some buzz too."

Upon hearing this, the public relations manager immediately advised, "President Lin, this price is too high; we may not be able to afford it."

"You don't need to worry about that, just go and take care of it."

Lin Ying waved her hand impatiently, signaling her subordinate to leave.

Not long after the public relations manager left, a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked into her office with an imposing air.

"Brother Tao, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Lin Ying immediately stood up, locked the door, and then took his arm, saying coquettishly, "I've been so worried lately."

The man's name is Pan Tao, a wealthy man with some reputation in Hangzhou, who has recently started investing in internet-related companies.

Lin Ying is one of the companies he invested in.

Pan Tao not only provided Lin Ying with funds, but also provided her with other things on a regular basis.

This is one of the small, additional benefits that comes with investing.

Tao Ge likes to date young women like Lin Ying, who graduated from prestigious universities, have some ability and intelligence, and are also good-looking.

It's much better than those beakers that are all show and no substance.

Pan Tao unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat down on the sofa, and waited for Lin Ying to snuggle up to him before asking with a smile, "What's wrong now? Did something happen again right after the New Year?"

"It's still that Liang Can!"

Lin Ying said angrily, "According to reliable sources, he's planning to find a top-tier celebrity to endorse the app. Brother Tao, we can't lose! We have to suppress him, otherwise, when the app launches, I'm not sure I can compete with him."

"It's Liang Can again?"

Pan Tao had heard this name from Lin Ying many times, and sometimes when he got tired of hearing it, he would shut Lin Ying up.

Treat her to some chicken to replenish her nutrients.

"Yeah, it's him again. He always goes against me. Last time I went to talk to him about an acquisition, he even yelled at me. I felt so wronged!"

Lin Ying tugged at Pan Tao's tie in a coquettish tone and said, "I don't care, Brother Tao, give me another ten million. I must find the best spokesperson to seize the opportunity."

Another ten million?

Pan Tao rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself, "You fucking think I'm a money-printing machine?"

So far, Pan Tao has invested seven or eight million yuan in Lin Ying's company, and the monthly rent for this office building alone is not a small amount.

As for the profits, we haven't seen a single cent.

But Lin Ying herself also contributed more than three million yuan, which was all her income from starting her business this year.

Pan Tao initially thought Lin Ying was a worthwhile investment because he saw that she could make money on her own.

“Ten million is not a big problem, but I want to ask you, is it really worth it? Have you calculated the benefits of hiring a celebrity to endorse the product?” Pan Tao asked.

Even if you haven't actually calculated it, you have to say you have.

"Of course I've counted it!" Lin Ying said repeatedly. "My app's target audience is young people, and young people love following celebrities the most. The influence of a big star's endorsement is definitely not to be underestimated. You'll be able to see it directly from the number of downloads."

After a moment's thought, Pan Tao agreed with Lin Ying's opinion.

“Download numbers are one thing, but whether the app’s content can retain users is another matter entirely,” Pan Tao said, looking at Lin Ying.

Lin Ying smiled charmingly and said softly, "So, ten million is the endorsement fee. Brother Tao, you still need to find a way to get another ten million to use as a benefit for new users of the app later."

Another ten million?

Pan Tao glanced at Lin Ying and said with a laugh, "You little brat, you always talk about millions and millions, you have quite the appetite."

Seeing Pan Tao's attitude, Lin Ying knew she had a chance, and immediately pressed her advantage: "But when I'm eating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of food from Brother Tao, you don't say that, do you?"

"You still dare to tease me? Then I really need to control you."

Pan Tao chuckled mischievously, reached into his trouser pocket, grabbed the remote control, and pressed a button.

Suddenly, Lin Ying tensed up, as if an electric current had spread through her body, causing her to tremble and collapse limply onto Pan Tao's lap.

In the quiet office, a buzzing sound seemed to come from somewhere. Lin Ying gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly.

'Liang Can, you just wait! The humiliation I suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold when I make you kneel before me.'
