Star Tycoon

Chapter 92 Celebrities and Advertisements

Zhou Shanshan went back to her family's rented house in the small county town, packed her things, and prepared to go to the provincial capital to apply for a job at an electronics factory.

Tian Ersan paid no attention to Zhou Shanshan and quickly returned to his work and studies.

After a busy morning resolving some issues, Tian Ersan took advantage of his lunch break to check his WeChat Moments, wanting to see how Zhou Shanshan was doing.

Zhou Shanshan posted a photo on her WeChat Moments yesterday, taken on a bus to the provincial capital.

Tian Ersan felt helpless, but this only strengthened his resolve not to find a girlfriend or get married.

I don't need to get married before I'm at least thirty, and I'm not yet of legal marriage age.

When I'm in a bad mood, I casually browse my WeChat Moments and soon come across a beautiful woman in her thirties.

Tian Ersan did not remember ever seeing this woman.

The woman in the video appears to be in her thirties. She has long hair pulled back, gentle features, soft eyes, and a faint smile. She looks rather thin, and you can feel the bones in the back of her left hand, which is resting on her fair chest.

Like most women, her hands were small and her skin was slightly fair, giving her an overall impression of being beautiful but frail.

Tian Ersan thought back carefully. He had added a lot of people's contact information in the past month or so, but he should remember this kind of beautiful woman.

Soon, Tian Er clicked in to send a message and discovered that the two had added each other as friends a few days ago, during the daytime working hours.

After thinking for a moment, Tian Ersan remembered the other party's identity.

Sending a message would be impolite, so Tian Ersan simply liked the picture the other person posted on their Moments.

She was never short of women around her, and female celebrities didn't have any filters or enhancements. Tian Ersan didn't recognize any of the female celebrities in this world, so she treated them as ordinary people.

Tian Ersan quickly got back to work. Now was the golden period for his career development, and neither Zhou Shanshan nor the other women were worth his time.

Zhou Shanshan chose to leave on her own; she didn't know how to seize the opportunity to change her life.

She wants to engage with society on her own, and Tian Ersan won't cry and beg her to stay.

Whether she gets married or becomes an internet celebrity in the future, it will have nothing to do with Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan never actively pursues anyone; it's better that no woman likes him—it's more peaceful!

Half an hour later, Tian Ersan heard a message notification while he was working. He looked down and saw that it was from the female celebrity who bought the canned food.

"Thank you!"

The reply to the message is simply "thank you".

Tian Ersan didn't know what to thank, so he picked up his phone and looked at it.

"Thank you for what?"

Jiang Haishan quickly sent a voice message: "Thank you for liking it. Do you have time to check your WeChat Moments?"

Tian Ersan: "Yeah, I use it whenever I have a little free time. What's your name again?"

Jiang Haishan quickly typed: Jiang Haishan, I have starred in many TV series and am a TV actress, but I haven't been working much in recent years.

Tian Ersan: What a coincidence, I'm Ersan, and you're Haishan. Someone named Shanshan left my company yesterday.

Jiang Haishan sent a voice message gently asking, "Why did you leave? You seem to be in a bad mood."

Tian Ersan: It sounds ridiculous that he's going to work in an electronics factory.

Jiang Haishan smiled and said, "Yes, it's really a bit speechless. Seeing how upset you are, do you like her?"

Tian Ersan: I wouldn't say I like them. I'm currently focused on my career, but sometimes I get a little impulsive when I see women. I'm at work when I'm at work, and I'm currently maintaining relationships with three or four women. I'm not quite sure what I'm saying, but I don't know how to describe this messy relationship.

Jiang Haishan comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I understand. There are many such things in our acting circle. It's normal to interact with others. You don't need to blame yourself. It's normal for people to get together when they feel a connection and to separate when they don't."

Tian Ersan: Thank you
Jiang Haishan said softly, "This is not your responsibility, you did nothing wrong. You have been alone since you were young, and you lack a sense of security, which is why you want more people around you to love you. I am the same. I am not married and have no children. Because of work, I rarely have contact with my family, and I don't want to continue in the industry. Now I am very happy to have someone to talk to."

Tian Ersan could sense that the other person was eager to care for him and wanted to make up for the lack of maternal love.

Tian Ersan: I don't think you're in very good health; you're too thin.

Jiang Haishan smiled and said, "It's a good thing for women to be thin. I think it's alright."

Tian Ersan: Do you live alone?

Jiang Haishan sighed, "I have two nannies, but I don't really like them. However, I have a stomach problem, can't drink alcohol, and am not in good health. The cats and dogs at home all need to be taken care of by the nannies."

When Tian Ersan heard that the female celebrity was a woman who was unmarried, childless, and kept pets, he quickly lost interest in the conversation.

Tian Ersan: Someone's coming to see me, I'm not going to talk anymore.

Jiang Haishan posted: Okay, work hard! I'll introduce you to some pretty ladies later~

Tian Ersan: Okay, I like big breasts.

Jiang Haishan: You little pervert~ Be careful, those lecherous aunties will eat you up!
Tian Ersan quickly put away his phone and continued working on company matters.

The website has already received 10,000 visits, and Tian Ersan is currently communicating with banks and various payment channels.

During this period, the only legitimate payment channel was online banking, which means paying directly from a bank card.

You will need a password and mobile banking verification code to make a payment.

Mobile payment has become somewhat more widespread, but it is not yet fully widespread.

Besides cooperating with banks, Tian Ersan mainly chooses to cooperate with two major internet companies, which provide fast payment channels.

It's definitely not free.

Mobile payments are free for customers, but not for merchants.

Fortunately, the handling fee is acceptable, at 100 yuan and 60 cents.

Customers will use whichever method is convenient, and won't use whichever is too troublesome.

Nowadays, many people no longer use bank cards, but instead use payment methods that do not require verification codes.

Tian Ersan is not qualified to negotiate with the bigwigs in the mobile payment field.

While you could use a bank card to set up a prepaid system or create your own payment method, it would undoubtedly be a thankless and laborious endeavor.

The current traffic volume cannot support this kind of layout, nor does it have the qualifications to engage in this kind of financial business.

So what if there are transaction fees? Let's focus on getting the 88 Festival sorted out first.

"Let's choose a better name."

Tian Ersan pondered a catchy name for August 8th.

"I've got it! Let's call it the 88 Mom Shopping Festival!"

Tian Ersan quickly started thinking about product design. After coming up with the idea of ​​the "88 Mom Shopping Festival", he came up with a general scenario.

"A scene of a family of three laughing and chatting together while picking up a package, or a scene of a mother picking up a package at the courier station."

Tian Ersan quickly started planning how to create graphics for the holiday promotion.

Not long after, Wang Linlin and Zhang Shuya returned to work.

Seeing this, Tian Ersan stood up and said, "We need to take some photos for an advertisement. Xiaoya, go change into a nice, virtuous outfit that suits your mother's temperament."

Zhang Shuya looked at Tian Ersan with a puzzled expression, then looked down at her own simple printed dress, which only covered her buttocks and left a hand and a half's width of space from her knees.

"Isn't this one okay?"

Tian Ersan shook his head, "No, it's too sexy with a curvy figure. It's fine to wear it at the company and at home, but not for shooting commercials."

Zhang Shuya gave an embarrassed smile and quickly nodded, "Okay."

Tian Ersan thought for a moment, quickly searching his mind for suitable candidates.

If Zhang Shuya is suited to a close-up of an urban woman, then Wang Hong in the canteen represents the simple, down-to-earth side of a woman from a small county town. But who in this setting needs a mother figure…?

Tian Ersan suddenly thought of a woman who was always grinning and joking!

Li Cuihua!
Li Cuihua, 36 years old, from Tao County, has a mental illness.

In the sweltering summer heat, this seemingly countrywoman, a mentally unstable woman, wrapped in a towel and carrying a large bundle, strolled around the stairwell without showing any signs of fatigue.

In addition to checking the quality of clothes delivered from garment factories and workshops outside, Li Cuihua's job also includes cleaning.

She walked into the women's restroom carrying a broom in both hands and a bundle of bed sheets weighing thirty or forty pounds on her back.

Duan Tingting, who was using the toilet, was so angry she was about to yell, "Don't come in! I'm in the toilet!"

Li Cuihua glanced at it with a smile, then said with another smile, "Don't be afraid, girl. We're all women, what's there to be afraid of!"

The old-fashioned toilets at the grain and oil company had partitions and doors, but Li Cuihua opened the door and wouldn't let her close it, so Duan Tingting could only put her hands in front of her to block it.

"Don't look!"

"Fine! I won't look!" Li Cuihua chuckled as she bent down to sweep the floor and clean the toilet. "Damn it! Who peed all over the place? How can someone pee while squatting and then not flush?! Damn her ancestors!"

Li Cuihua started cursing in the toilet, and Duan Tingting couldn't urinate.

Li Cuihua didn't care about Duan Tingting's mood at the moment and continued to clean the pool next to her.

"I'm going to keep an eye on things during dinner tomorrow. If anyone doesn't act recklessly, I'll give them a good beating!"

She can eat in the toilet, but others don't have the confidence to use the toilet there. At the very least, Duan Tingting can't use the toilet while Li Cuihua is eating, as it puts her under immense psychological pressure.

Li Cuihua was the kind of rural woman who could eat noodles while patrolling the toilets, checking who hadn't flushed after using it.

Duan Tingting felt disgusted just thinking about it. She quickly took out a tissue, wiped herself clean, and got up to leave this low-class place.

There's more than one toilet; Duan Tingting will definitely avoid this shrew from now on!

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I saw Tian Ersan coming this way.

Duan Tingting quickly said, "President Tian."

When Tian Ersan saw Duan Tingting come out of the restroom, he asked, "Have you seen Li Cuihua? You know, the one who's always wandering around with a backpack."

Duan Tingting quickly said, "It seems to be in the restroom."

Tian Ersan wouldn't go to the restroom to look for someone, so he said, "I'll wait there."

Duan Tingting quickly asked, "What does President Tian want with her? I can also help clean the house."

Tian Ersan explained, "We plan to do some advertising because our target audience includes not only young people, but also housewives and ordinary citizens, so we asked her to help us with an advertisement."

Duan Tingting stared at Tian Ersan in astonishment, completely unable to connect Li Cuihua with an advertising star.

"Should we let her shoot an ad?" Duan Tingting whispered a reminder. "I don't think it's a good idea. She speaks so fast and unclearly, like a machine gun going on and on. Is she really suitable for shooting an ad?"

Tian Ersan thought about it carefully.

Currently, the customer base mainly consists of young people, or aunties who don't watch live streams but donate and place orders through various channels to provide assistance.

Li Cuihua is too much of a country bumpkin and doesn't fit the current trend.

People who can shop online now don't really want to see too much suffering.

Just as I was thinking about something, Li Cuihua, carrying a bundle on her back, came out with her back bent.

"Mr. Tian, ​​what can I do for you? I've been trying to learn Mandarin lately."

Tian Ersan was speechless when he saw this villager. "Leave your bag in the office and come with me to film an advertisement for picking up express deliveries."

Li Cuihua quickly said, "Go ahead, why bother packing? I'm worried that if I leave my things in your office, they might get damaged."

Tian Ersan calmly advised, "No one will steal your little bit of wheat. There are only two women in the office. They wouldn't even take money if you left it there, let alone your little bit of wheat!"

"No way!" Li Cuihua shook her head quickly. "I've suffered more losses than you've eaten wheat. You think they'll win just because you say so? You're her father, this is unacceptable!"

Tian Ersan was too lazy to argue with this woman. "Carry your things and go! I'm driving you out to shoot an advertisement. I really don't want to talk to you!"

"I didn't want to either!" Li Cuihua muttered, then followed Tian Ersan outside.

Duan Tingting frowned, and after the two walked away, she went upstairs herself.

"What the hell? Why did you hire this country bumpkin?"

Duan Tingting went back to work, grumbling and cursing.

Not long after, Bao Wanjun from the business department came downstairs with two other girls.

The two went down to the office.

"Mr. Tian."

As the three men entered, Tian Ersan instructed them, "I need to do some promotion for the website and I need a few promotional photos with people in them. Do you three know how to create graphics?"

All three quickly shook their heads.

Tian Ersan looked helpless. This time, he was recruiting people with language and management backgrounds, as well as history majors.

Seeing Tian Ersan's expression, the three realized that they could only handle very simple matters and could not keep up with Tian Ersan's pace.

"Many companies will be coming in a few days, so we need to prepare the parking area and rest area, and also prepare enough chairs for the meeting rooms upstairs."

Tian Ersan said some things they could do: "Prepare some teacups, bottled water, and first aid supplies in case of emergencies. Make a detailed list for me. Also, contact nearby hotels that day. I don't know which hotels are good nearby, so you can make the arrangements."

The three quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Tian."

At that moment, Zhang Shuya, dressed as if she were attending a relative's wedding, walked in.

"Mr. Tian, ​​is this alright?"

Zhang Shuya looked at Tian Ersan somewhat embarrassed. She felt that her outfit made her look a bit old, but Tian Ersan's requirement was that she dress like her mother.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Okay, this outfit will do. Let's go out."

Under the watchful eyes of Bao Wanjun and the other two women, Tian Ersan naturally put his arm around Zhang Shuya and walked out.

Wang Linlin continued working on her computer, busy with her tasks. After Zhou Shanshan left, she was the only one responsible for the office duty.

Bao Wanjun and the other two quickly went about their business, while Wang Linlin closed the door and started watching cartoons.

Eat what you want to eat, and get water from the water dispenser if you want to drink water.

During work hours, as long as there's nothing to do, it's fine to play on the computer and watch videos.

Normally, I just jot down things when someone calls, and run errands to check on things in the warehouse or upstairs.

The workday is 8 days in the morning and 5 days in the afternoon, with a 1.5-hour break in between for a nap. The company provides a place for a nap.

Mobile phone bill reimbursement, three meals a day provided, high-temperature allowance, transportation provided most of the time, and distribution of fruit and snacks.

After get off work, I can go shopping for clothes; 3,000 a month is enough to last me a long time.

Moreover, the nightlife is quite vibrant, with the man I like sleeping together and doing things I enjoy.

Even though the boss has been extremely busy lately, we still manage to see each other every day.

Wang Linlin felt that three thousand was already a lot. After her father died, she walked the streets for a long time. Most of her jobs paid just over a thousand, and they looked very tiring.

Wang Linlin believes that Zhou Shanshan's resignation is a betrayal of their small group and of Brother Tian.

Wang Linlin dislikes women who fall in love with someone else and then leave for money.

From the day Zhou Shanshan resigned, Wang Linlin ignored her.
