Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 157 Are you all alone?
Lin Lang's words extinguished Yuan Dahua's restless heart.

Over the past hundred days, his desires had accumulated to an uncontrollable level.

His ex-wife's looks and figure were one in a million to him, and he was willing to become her ultimate simp.

If he hadn't wanted to win back his ex-wife, he wouldn't have thought of becoming a social media influencer.

He held onto a grudge for a long time, and no matter how difficult the conditions were, he persevered.

A few days ago, after I came back, I went to the bathhouse for a bath. The bath attendant scrubbed off at least three pounds of dirt from my body, almost clogging the drain.

During this time, he received many messages from his ex-wife, asking where he was, whether he wanted to come back for dinner, whether he wanted to see their daughter, and whether he missed her.

At that time, he persisted in his task of fishing in the wild and did not respond.

However, it's clear from their conversation that his ex-wife now looks at him with new respect.

And now, the other party is right at the door.

He hadn't been with a woman for months, and the thought of his ex-wife's soft body made him feel like a fire was burning inside him.

However, Lin Lang's words instantly chilled him to the bone.

Can't go back anymore.

He had a fight with his wife after seeing her flirtatious chats with those online celebrities, and she ended up threatening to attack him with a kitchen knife.

Actually, he did think about those things, but at that time he didn't even have the courage to resist.

His resistance was seen as clownish behavior by his ex-wife.

The knocking came again. "Dahua, I know you're back. I brought some things to cook for you..."

Yuan Dahua walked to the door and said, "No need, we're already divorced."

“My daughter sent me here. How am I supposed to explain this to her if I go back like this? You can be angry with me, but you can't just abandon your daughter, can you?”

These words touched on the softest spot in Yuan Dahua's heart.

"I'll pick our daughter up from school tomorrow, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Dahua, I know you're angry, but you have to give me a chance to explain, right? I only chatted with them online, we've never met in person..."

"You can see her anytime you want. If you feel that your daughter is a burden, then leave her to me."

"Weren't you filming a video? How will you have time to take care of the child?"

"Give it to my parents!"

"I don't trust my elderly parents to take care of them! Open the door, let's talk this over..."

……

"Boss, something happened to Brother Yuan?"

Mi Xiaofan, who was sitting behind Lin Lang, asked a question.

Since it was a business class seat and there was no one else in the carriage, she felt free to ask.

Lin Lang said, "Yes, he had only been back for two days when his ex-wife came knocking on his door."

"With Brother Yuan making so much money now, she's probably regretting it..."

Mi Xiaofan understands this all too well. After all, Yuan Dahua has over 300,000 followers, and he can easily earn thousands or tens of thousands of yuan from a single advertisement.

Not only did they gain money, they also gained fame.

Everyone in the fishing community knows Yuan Dahua.

"Brother Yuan must be making a lot of money now, right?" Mi Xiaofan asked again.

"He hasn't made any money yet. He hasn't secured any business deals, but Big Fish Media has already invested two million in him."

"Huh? Then... Brother Yuan won't do anything reckless, right?"

"Why are you acting recklessly?" Lin Lang felt that Mi Xiaofan seemed to know quite a bit about it.

"It's just... he might remarry his ex-wife, and then his public image will be ruined. Or he might listen to others, be tempted, and want to leave Big Fish Media to go solo, then Big Fish Media will suffer a huge loss, won't it?"

"Well, there is a possibility."

Lin Lang couldn't guarantee 100% that no problems would arise, but he was already doing his best to mitigate the risks.

Human nature is complex. If Yuan Dahua hadn't had his previous experiences, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

He's not like Mi Xiaofan, who can just dance and people will watch.

Even with only a few thousand or tens of thousands of followers, they can still make money off the big shots.

If Yuan Dahua fails to succeed, he is of no use; he has no room for error.

Mi Xiaofan asked, "Isn't the boss in a hurry? What if..."

"If things get complicated, we can go to court. I didn't stop you when you had this idea. Yuan Dahua is even less important to me now. If you're willing to cooperate, then cooperate. Our Dayu Media has never had any unfair contracts, and I've never cared about anyone leaving."

After saying all that, Mi Xiaofan lowered her head.

She didn't understand before, or rather, she always carried arrogance in her heart.

When someone succeeds, they feel that even if others deserve credit, they also deserve credit.

After hearing the conversation between Lin Lang and Yun Yiyi, she reflected on it and had no intention of leaving Dayu Media. However, her reflection was not thorough enough.

So when someone offered a very high price, she was slightly tempted and wanted to see if the other party was willing to pay for her to buy out the contract.

Later, Yun Yi pointed out to her that no one else would pay that money.

Actually, at that time, she still felt, to some extent, that she had contributed to her success.

But now, Lin Lang has easily helped Yun Yiyi climb back from the bottom to the top, making her realize that even if it were any other woman, Lin Lang could still elevate her to her current position.

"Boss, I feel like you're targeting me."

Lin Lang laughed and said, "What? You want to switch jobs? The current contract is close to 20 million. I'd be more than happy to find a reliable rich second-generation to take over."

Mi Xiaofan quickly replied, "How could I dare? I haven't replied to a single private message recently, and I only watch videos using my alternate account. I've been reflecting on myself lately and have deeply realized my insignificance and the greatness of the boss. From now on, I only want to stay by the boss's side and serve him!"

Mi Xiaofan has recently started taking on commercial projects, mainly clothing photography.

Lin Lang helped her choose the clothes, which basically involved her wearing them and filming a video. The video didn't directly mention the content, but instead had a pinned comment in the comments section saying whose clothes they were.

Even so, the commercial fee for a single video is around 50,000 yuan.

She split the profits 50/50 with Dayu Media, and her account received nearly 100,000 yuan during this period.

Lin Lang said, "Teacher Mi, Big Fish Media has never been an obstacle for you. As long as you feel that you are better off outside, you can buy out the contract and leave at any time."

"No, no, there won't be a boss this handsome outside. He's so handsome he's captured my heart... When I make money for the company in the future, can the boss reward me with a hug?"

"Ok?"

Lin Lang felt that Mi Xiaofan's speech now had a rather special flavor.

In a daze, he seemed to see Yun Yiyi's shadow.

So it seems that the culprit behind Mi Xiaofan is Yun Yiyi.

Many close friends wouldn't be able to patiently help Mi Xiaofan with self-awareness.

What Mi Xiaofan lacks most is self-awareness. Once she has a clear understanding of herself, the possibility of her becoming arrogant in the future will be greatly reduced.

People who are self-aware tend to speak more softly. Mi Xiaofan's tone of voice is completely different now than before.

Even when I was afraid or confused in the past, my tone was quite sharp, but I covered it up with words that expressed my fear.

"I've worked so hard to film this for you, you should reward me," Lin Lang said.

Mi Xiaofan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely reward the boss when we get to the hotel."

"Hmm? What kind of reward are you planning?"

“Well… the boss has seen it many times. Just looking at it shouldn’t count as a reward. How about…” Mi Xiaofan glanced at the carriage, didn’t see any cameras, then got up, came to Lin Lang’s side, bent down and said, “Can I make love with the boss?” Lin Lang turned his head and almost touched Mi Xiaofan’s face.

This face is truly unparalleled. Mi Xiaofan's ability to become an internet celebrity with millions of followers is at least 80% due to her face.

As for body shape, it can be faked, and it's very easy to fake.

"Was it taught by Teacher Yun?"

"hold head high……"

"Some of what she taught is useful, but some shouldn't be used, otherwise it's easy to go astray."

"Will being around the boss cause you to go astray?"

"How can that be the same? Teacher Yun has her own independent will, and her will is above that of many others."

In Lin Lang's view, Mi Xiaofan is still not much different from before, except that she has now been trained by Yun Yiyi.

"But I really like my boss. I've caused him so much trouble, and I've always wanted to apologize to him."

"Working hard is the best apology. Your work isn't even on track yet, and other thoughts will only become stumbling blocks for you."

"what?"

"Go back to your seat, I have other things to do."

Lin Lang didn't want to continue this topic with Mi Xiaofan.

If she really wants to sleep, she can just half-heartedly agree when I'm filming her.

But if I say it out loud, how could I possibly agree?

Not to mention that agreeing would completely ruin my image, this is clearly a transaction based on mutual benefit. If things don't go well in the future, she might develop a psychological dependence on it. I don't want to spend so much money to support a pretty face.

When the investment was small, it was okay, but now the investment is too large, and I have to make the money back.

Unlike Bing Ning, Lin Lang didn't invest any money in Bing Ning; it was a cash-for-debt exchange, so he didn't suffer any losses.

……

Today is the last day for the fund to raise capital.

It lasted for a total of half a month.

Yan Li had already called her aunt the day before yesterday, and her aunt agreed, saying that she would use the more than 50 million yuan of family assets to buy this fund of Tianjin Capital as a way of supporting her.

Because it takes time to withdraw funds from investments, we can only take the final step today.

Yan Li has been keeping a close eye on the back end. Currently, with Lin Lang's 53 million, the fund investors' 40 million, and the 70 million she transferred from the company account, they are only 30 million short of reaching 200 million.

Once we've raised 200 million, we can start operating right away when the market opens next Monday.

She waited and waited, but never received any application information from her aunt.

It wasn't until 2 p.m. that she finally couldn't hold back any longer and called Chen Lan.

"Auntie, it's me, Lili..."

"Lili, I was just about to call you. I was busy this morning and forgot to check my messages. I only found out this afternoon that the investment hadn't arrived. I called to ask, and they said it would take another business day. Can I buy it again tomorrow?"

Yan Li was completely stunned.

tomorrow?

Today is the last day for fundraising. If we can't raise 200 million yuan before 3 pm, the process will fail.

In that case, the only option is to start fundraising again.

Putting aside the time cost, generally speaking, if the first fundraising attempt fails, the application to raise funds again will almost never be approved.

Tianjin Capital, just like that, gone?

With less than an hour left, where is she going to borrow 30 million?

The company still had over ten million in its accounts. She originally thought that was enough, so she set aside over ten million for company operations.

After all, salaries still need to be paid, and with Lin Lang's team arriving, a settlement allowance must be given first.

"Put the company's ten million in!"

In this way, the shortfall is only 20 million.

With less than an hour left, time was very tight for Yan Li.

She needs to get 20 million as soon as possible.

She called a friend and chatted for a few minutes.

"Dinner tonight? Hmm, okay, my treat."

Will the money arrive before 3 PM?

"Okay, I'll give you the company account."

Yan Li found a college classmate whose family was quite wealthy and who also worked in Shanghai.

After hanging up the phone, she glanced at the time. Lin Lang and his team would arrive at Hongqiao at 3 PM, and she would definitely have to pick them up.

One car wasn't enough, so she called on an employee from the company, and together with herself, they went to Hongqiao in two minivans.

Tianjin Capital is located in Pudong. Even with a smooth journey, it takes at least fifty minutes, and usually it takes about an hour and twenty minutes.

She was indeed a little late today. On the way there, she told Lin Lang about it and asked them to wait for her for a few minutes after they got off the train.

Before leaving, she had already given instructions that once funds were deposited into the company account, they should be transferred to the fund account immediately to raise 200 million yuan.

Fortunately, the classmate agreed; given the other person's status, it was unlikely that they would lie to him.

She felt that it wasn't necessarily that the funds hadn't arrived on Chen Lan's end; it was more likely that her father had called.

She didn't know if she should feel angry or resentful, but she was definitely feeling bad.

And so, after rushing as fast as we could, the car arrived at the high-speed rail station at 3:05.

The journey was smooth with no traffic jams, and we were on an elevated road with very few traffic lights.

Not seeing Lin Lang, she immediately called the company.

Has the 20 million yuan arrived in the company account?

"Oh? Mr. Yan, the money hasn't arrived in the company account yet."

"what?"

Yan Li hung up the phone immediately and called that classmate.

"Xu Kechen, the funds haven't arrived?"

"Oh? I was just about to call you, but the bank put my card on risk control, which caused my transfer to fail. I'm on my way to your company. I'll transfer the money to you right away after the risk control is lifted, okay?"

Yan Li was too lazy to listen to the other person and hung up the phone directly.

Some were dejected, feeling that all their efforts had been in vain.

Just then, she saw Lin Lang and Mi Xiaofan walking out of the station exit.

She composed herself, got out of the car, and called out, "Lin Lang, over here."

Lin Lang immediately walked over with Mi Xiaofan.

Yan Li kept an eye on the crowd around Lin Lang, but when she got to the car, she didn't see anyone else following her.

"Only you?"

“No, there are two…” Lin Lang pointed to Mi Xiaofan beside him.
