Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 2 Projects and Life

No matter what, you still have to eat.

After the meal, Lin Lang paid the bill, which came to a total of eighty-eight yuan.

Lin Lang didn't care about any of that, even though there was absolutely no possibility between him and Li Wanqing.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Li Wanqing quickly took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on. Lin Lang was also preparing to say goodbye, as he had to meet a client later.

Just then, Li Wanqing received a phone call, and he couldn't interrupt her.

A moment later, a Meituan deliveryman came over, carrying a flower basket, and handed it to Li Wanqing.

Then, Li Wanqing presented the flower basket to Lin Lang and said, "Your studio is opening tomorrow, right? I wish you a grand opening!"

Lin Lang smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Teacher Li. Let's talk again sometime."

"Okay, then I'll be going now. I have some things to do this afternoon."

"Goodbye."

After the two parted ways, Li Wanqing quickly took out her car keys, and a Mercedes-Benz A-Class parked nearby warmly welcomed its owner.

Lin Lang took out his electric scooter key, turned around, and went to the corner to sit on his electric scooter.

Then, in an instant, it jumped up like a drop of water entering a hot pot.

The scorching hot car seat delivered a betrayal to him.

……

"Mom, other people's parents are just farmers."

"Yes, they can't help me much at all. They don't even have a pension. In a few years, the burden on my family will be huge."

"She's just okay looking."

"Yeah, being handsome doesn't put food on the table. I just couldn't bring myself to refuse the head of the grade. She's Lin Lang's cousin."

"That Lin Lang is incredibly sensitive, poor, and insecure. He makes me lose face with just a few words. Luckily, I didn't stoop to his level."

“He opened his own shabby studio and did this kind of thing at such a young age. He is not responsible for his own life. I have absolutely no interest in him.”

"He paid for the meal, but I also ordered a flower basket for him, so I don't owe him anything."

Li Wanqing answered a phone call while driving.

She wasn't afraid of being caught on camera, because she had connections at home, and if she was filmed, a single phone call could get it removed.

In the county town, her family wasn't considered particularly powerful, but they could easily handle some minor issues.

Even for serious matters like drunk driving, there are ways to get things done.

Of course, she wouldn't risk her life.

A dozen minutes later, she returned home.

As soon as I got home, I saw a hotly debated topic in the "Xigang Town No. 1 Primary School Canteen Partners" group.

"That teacher isn't even that good-looking, but just by filming a few videos, he suddenly seems to have transcended social classes?"

"I heard that the man's family is not only rich, but most of his relatives are also in the public sector."

"She just got lucky. She became famous after just a few casual videos. I've been filming for half a month, and I don't get any traffic every day."

"They might have spent money to attract traffic... just like the Milk Tea Girl..."

This group consists of teachers who were admitted to Xigang Town No. 1 Primary School in the past two years, and those who were college students two years ago.

They possess cutting-edge internet thinking, but also the laid-back nature of people in the new era.

"@Li Wanqing, I watched your video, it got over a thousand likes yesterday, are you going to become famous soon?"

After reading the chat log, Li Wanqing replied, "Not many people are paying attention, and I was just filming for fun; I never thought it would become popular."

"You're much prettier than that Teacher Song, it's just that the platform is deliberately targeting you... By the way, school starts in two weeks, how about we go on a trip together? I can drive..."

Big Fish Media.

Although it was just a small storefront of a dozen square meters, Lin Lang spent two thousand five hundred yuan to order this sign.

Tianshui County High-tech Zone is a newly developed residential area in the county seat. The roads are clean and wide, the planning is reasonable, and the technology and modern style are well combined. The downside is that there is no one there.

Therefore, Lin Lang didn't spend much money on this storefront.

With the more than 10,000 yuan he had saved in college, plus the salary he earned from a month's internship in Shanghai, he was able to start his own studio.

After opening the door, he went to his workstation, sat down, and made a phone call.

"Mr. Yuan, is that right? If you're free this afternoon, could you please come to the company so we can discuss the specific details and create a customized plan for you tomorrow?"

"Okay okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lang opened Douyin (TikTok) and started scrolling through short videos.

He only used local apps.

Although the local short video content is generally of poor quality and most of it is meaningless, you can occasionally find some good ones.

For example, Yuan Dahua, the fisherman who just called, is a prime example of a spineless coward. He goes fishing after get off work and gets beaten by his wife every day.

When you encounter this kind of person, you either stop fishing or you put up a fight.

As a result, he was both addicted and pathetic.

The day before yesterday, his wife even brandished a knife and threatened to kill him, scaring him half to death.

After receiving a private message from Lin Lang saying that he could be packaged into a major internet celebrity, the other party was tempted.

At this moment, Lin Lang was staring at a short video of a childcare teacher.

The teacher is very beautiful, with a face that evokes first love and elegant features. However, Lin Lang does not use beauty as the sole criterion for judgment.

Most importantly, the naturalness she exudes in front of the camera is a talent that most people don't possess.

He promptly sent a private message to the other party.

"Hello, beautiful lady. Your content is excellent, but there are still some flaws in the details, which prevented the highlights of your work from being fully showcased. Our company, Dayu Media, has senior industry professionals and experienced content managers. We are eager to learn and grow alongside outstanding online influencers and would very much like to receive your reply. Our company address is Xinjie, High-tech Zone, Tianshui County..."

After sending the message, Lin Lang checked on the other party and then continued looking for business.

Before starting his company, he had already set his goal: to focus solely on traffic from lower-tier markets.

Because it's too easy to monetize traffic in lower-tier markets. The traffic in mainstream markets is too poor and stingy; they'd spend their money at bathhouses if they had any. They don't buy into the internet business at all.

On the internet, they prefer to get things for free and also like to nitpick.

As for the blind date at noon, although it didn't go well, Lin Lang was still quite happy, at least it proved that returning to the county town was the right choice.

One of his cousins ​​brought him this kind of resource, and he has many more relatives...

He had been on blind dates in Shanghai for several years, and no matter how good or bad the conditions were, none of the women he had met could compare to Li Wanqing in terms of looks.

Later, a pretty junior hinted to him that she would give him 80,000 yuan a month for spending money, and that he could discuss it with Lin Lang...

It's about being kept!

That junior is quite pretty; she's a recognized goddess at school and has over 400,000 followers online. Her looks are only slightly less striking than Li Wanqing's.

Lin Lang was definitely tempted, but unfortunately he had already bought a house and didn't have any money.

I had just saved up for two months, things had calmed down a bit, and I was able to make payments, but then the project failed again.

The project failed, but that doesn't mean his life is over.
