Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 110 I want to get to know you better so it'll be easier for us to sleep together later.

Yan Li went to film with Lin Lang in the afternoon.

This was also her first time seeing a filming set.

Without a doubt, every penny Lin Lang earned was rightfully his.

He may have come from an ordinary background and not seen much of the world, but he was absolutely meticulous in his work.

He also has great confidence in himself.

Yan Li felt exhausted just watching from the sidelines. All they did was shoot a video, and even if it went viral and gained tens or hundreds of thousands of followers, monetizing it would be quite difficult.

So, after only a few days of playing around with self-media and verifying her theoretical understanding of the industry, she didn't want to continue.

If she hadn't talked to Lin Lang later and discovered the untapped potential of the self-media industry, she would never have considered becoming a financial news anchor.

Yan Li was busy from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. She saw that Mi Xiaofan's legs were already stiff, and Lin Lang was also sweating profusely, filming videos under the scorching sun.

She really wanted to tell Lin Lang to come to Shanghai with her, along with his team of analysts.

However, she knew it wasn't the right time yet.

She needs to find a way to get Lin Lang to speak first.

Previously on WeChat, Lin Lang could reject him without hesitation.

But now that I'm here, I know that what he considers difficult can be easily solved by myself, and I also have my pride.

She didn't believe Lin Lang could hold out for long.

Once in the car, Yan Li asked, "Where are we going for dinner tonight?"

"I'll take you back to your hotel first. I have some things to take care of; I need to talk to a friend about future collaborations..."

"The one from noon?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go with you. If we drink, I can drive you back."

I don't drink alcohol.

“If I don’t drink, I’ll definitely go. If two grown men are discussing business without drinking, they must be doing something else. I’m not comfortable with that.”

"Just say you want to go... but once you're there, keep quiet."

Lin Lang knew that Yan Li was an arrogant person at heart, and in her eyes, someone like He Qiang was just a small business owner.

She was polite on the surface during lunch today, but she didn't give Song Zhiyuan any face at all.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yan Li wasn't pretending to be obedient and well-behaved just because Mi Xiaofan was there.

The main difference is in the circumstances.

When Lin Lang and Song Zhiyuan met, their statuses were mismatched. If he continued to prioritize Lin Lang and remained silent, he could forget about having any conversation with Song Zhiyuan, and Song Zhiyuan would never get to the point.

Lin Lang goes to see other people, and she should just be a good girlfriend and let him talk about whatever he wants...

When the car arrived at the hotel, Lin Lang said to Mi Xiaofan, "Go to the restaurant and eat by yourself later. The company will reimburse you."

"Okay, thank you boss, thank you boss lady."

Mi Xiaofan's legs, which were originally a bit stiff, now have strength again.

Going to a restaurant alone means I can take lots of photos.

Looking at Mi Xiaofan's happy expression, Yan Li said, "She's so easily satisfied."

Lin Lang started the car and said irritably, "Everyone is easily satisfied when they are young, but when you grow up and see something better, it's hard to be satisfied anymore."

Yan Li turned her head and asked, "Are you satisfied with the present?"

"Now? I don't have a stable source of income, and I haven't established a stable business. Where can I find satisfaction?"

"The ceiling for media companies is not high, and besides, media is not your main business."

Yan Li felt she was about to make her point clear.

Lin Lang said, "I know what you mean, and I can tell you clearly that I did lead that analyst team. It's just... I didn't want to go, and the team didn't want to either."

"why?"

"Because in Shanghai, we're just employees, but back home, we're bosses. Everyone's learning ability is limited. Our current approach is correct, but what about the future? We can't maintain such a high learning capacity forever; sooner or later, we'll be eliminated by the market..."

"But you can earn more money on a better platform. At your best, you should definitely work on a big platform to fully utilize your abilities. Who knows, you might be able to earn a lifetime's worth of wealth in just two or three years."

Lin Lang: "And then what?"

"What's there to be afraid of in the future if you have money?"

Lin Lang said with a smile, "The friend I'm meeting today is actually quite wealthy. He used to run a pawnshop, and when property prices rose, he profited handsomely, making him a billionaire. Later, he started a private equity firm, which also achieved some success, managing five or six hundred million yuan. But just recently, he was swindled out of one hundred million yuan by the CEO of Tianshui Duck Industry..."

"You've invested?"

"He wasn't just investing in the business, but also in the future... but he lost it all. He lost the money, and he lost his future..."

"Actually, in big cities, there aren't many social niceties..."

"Hey, don't try to fool me like I'm a three-year-old..."

No social skills?

Lin Lang knows Shanghai all too well.

After being exposed, Yan Li wasn't embarrassed. Instead, she said, "I can help you with anything."

"You can't help..."

"I really helped you out at noon..."

Lin Lang smiled slightly and said, "I had originally planned to acquire Tianshui Duck Industry before the end of the year."

"Huh? Are you crazy? Do you know how difficult it is to acquire a listed company? Even if you make money, are you going to throw all that hard-earned money into a useless company?"

Yan Li understood that even if she didn't call Song Zhiyuan over today, Lin Lang would meet with Song Zhiyuan sooner or later.

After all, taking over Tianshui Duck Industry means that Lin Lang has established himself in Tianshui County, and Song Zhiyuan will take the initiative to meet with him.

Spending hundreds of millions just to achieve this? In her opinion, it's not worth it at all.

Besides, where is Lin Lang going to earn hundreds of millions?

……

No. 1 Mansion.

He Qiang called Lin Lang around 2 p.m. to invite him to dinner that evening.

After Lin Lang agreed, he immediately booked a table here.

After that, he arrived at the door early and waited.

Upon seeing Lin Lang drive over, he immediately pulled over.

"Brother, you've finally arrived! I thought you were too busy and was even preparing to come and pick you up."

He Qiang saw Lin Lang get out of the car and quickly went over to say something.

Immediately afterwards, the passenger door opened, and Yan Li got out of the car.

"This is...this must be your sister-in-law." Yan Li glanced at Lin Lang shyly. Lin Lang said, "President He, this is my college classmate Yan Li. She came here to visit me."

Yan Li nodded: "The main concern is that he might drink."

As she spoke, she reached out and took Lin Lang's arm.

"Haha, please go ahead, brother and sister-in-law. Let's chat in the private room..."

"Okay, Mr. He, please."

"Together, together..."

He Qiang had only glanced at Yan Li through the rearview mirror and thought the girl had a great figure.

The view behind was also obscured by the car window, so it wasn't very clear.

This time, seeing it up close, he was truly amazed.

Such a beautiful girl, and with such a powerful background, Lin Lang's luck is truly incredible.

After entering the private room, He Qiang said, "Brother, sister-in-law, some of the restaurant's signature dishes take quite a while to prepare, and I was worried you'd have to wait too long, so I arranged for them to be made in advance. Why don't you order a few more, so we can eat while we wait..."

Lin Lang looked at Yan Li and asked, "Do you want to add more?"

Yan Li asked in a low voice, "Boss He, how many have you ordered yet?"

"Just three..."

"That's enough, that's enough. We can't finish all of this. Ordering too much is a waste."

He Qiang: "..."

He said somewhat awkwardly, "I feel so bad about that. What if it doesn't suit your taste? That would be too... Sister-in-law, please order a few more."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm a local too."

"Oh? Your sister-in-law is also from here?"

"Yes, it's in the next county."

He Qiang was stunned.

He had never thought of investigating Lin Lang's girlfriend's identity before, subconsciously assuming that she was from out of town and that he wouldn't be able to find out.

The result is from this city?

The neighboring county? Surname Yan?
He usually studies a lot about the important people in the city, and since the surname Yan is not very common, he guessed it almost immediately.

Thinking back to what Yan Li said at noon, Song Zhiyuan really didn't seem like much.

The neighboring county is known as the hometown of heroes, having produced many generals in the past.

In total, that would be Yan Li's great-grandfather's generation.

"Mr. He, please have a seat. I'm here today mainly to discuss the matter of managing social media for the pawnshop..."

Lin Lang quickly said something.

He Qiang came to his senses and realized that he was able to meet Yan Li mainly because of Lin Lang; otherwise, Yan Li wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

"Brother, I know your abilities. Just tell us what to do and we'll do it..."

He actually wanted to get rid of the cars, but he wasn't too keen on the houses.

But if Lin Lang wants to do it, he will definitely cooperate.

At this point, the dishes began to be served.

Lin Lang said, "Then let's eat and talk... I've already prepared the script. Mr. He, you just need to arrange someone suitable to represent us. The main thing is to discuss the cooperation model with you and hear your opinion."

"No objection, absolutely no objection. Brother, come help me clear out the inventory, even if it means losing money, it doesn't matter."

"Mr. He, you misunderstand. Both used cars and real estate are big-ticket items, and we definitely can't sell them at a loss. The main thing is that I'm thinking about expanding and strengthening our business. We can't just focus on this small corner of the city. We need to use social media to expand our business... not necessarily nationwide, but at least covering several nearby provinces... so... initially, the main focus is on building our brand..."

After they started eating, Lin Lang and He Qiang chatted casually.

From brand establishment to operation and promotion.

Lin Lang's goal is to showcase his products through social media and stimulate more people's desire to buy.

Moreover, Big Fish Media doesn't charge any money; they only ask for a 3% commission on the products.

Yan Li didn't say anything; she just focused on eating, occasionally using serving chopsticks to put some food on Lin Lang's plate.

Anyway, He Qiang was extremely envious. Lin Lang's image in his mind had been elevated to an unparalleled level.

After they had finished chatting, He Qiang took out a property deed and handed it to Lin Lang, saying, "Brother, I know you just went back to your hometown and haven't had time to buy a house there yet. Luckily, I have a pretty good house here, in the Xinglan No. 1 Courtyard area... Consider it a small gift from your brother to you and your wife. Please don't mind..."

Lin Lang took the property certificate and glanced at it.

It's in the villa area.

The villas in Xinglan No. 1 Courtyard are definitely in high demand, at least when the housing market is hot right now.

Yan Li also came over, and Lin Lang simply handed her the property certificate.

Then, he said to He Qiang, "Mr. He, since we're doing business together, there's no need for such a big gift. I really want to buy a house in Xinglan No. 1 Courtyard. You can sell this house to me at the market price, including the car. We can come over at the end of October to sign the contract."

At this moment, Yan Li had also finished looking at it, and Lin Lang took the property certificate back and returned it to He Qiang.

Actually, just having the property ownership certificate isn't very useful; it's just a symbolic gesture.

He Qiang quickly said, "Brother, you're embarrassing your older brother. You've helped me so much, what's a little something to give you?"

"It's not so much helping out, it's more like a partnership. I'm making money too."

"And then there's the Tianshui duck industry. The idea you came up with is something you couldn't buy even for ten million. I got a great deal."

"President He, you didn't say a word about the risks involved! Besides, I said back then that it was just casual conversation, and I wasn't responsible for that plan. If I were to ask for money, I would be shameless."

"This……"

"That's settled then. I'll keep the car for now. I really don't have the energy to buy a new one right now. We'll settle the accounts with Mr. He at the end of next month. We'll have many more opportunities to cooperate in the future, so it's good to have clear accounts so that our cooperation can last..."

Under Lin Lang's insistence, He Qiang had nothing to say.

Only Yan Li witnessed the entire process.

He refused a house worth millions and a car worth millions, which were offered to him as gifts.
Even if he can make money now, earning tens of millions a month, the amount He Qiang gave him is not a small sum.

On the way back, she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you want it? Didn't you want power? Isn't this..."

"I don't want to get too familiar with him, because it'll be inconvenient to discuss prices if we get too familiar."

How much can you earn by selling used cars and used houses?

"Anyway, it's definitely more than a few million, maybe even more than a few hundred million."

Yan Li: "..."

Why didn't she have any doubts when Lin Lang made such boastful claims?

Is it the kind of execution ability this guy has shown?

Or is it his confidence?
"Then why did you take what I gave you?"

"It's simple. I want to get to know you better so we can sleep together later."
