Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 288 He wasn't at his cousin's house; he was staying in a hotel by himself.
As Lin Lang spoke, Yan Li gradually went through the entire process.

Problems certainly exist; for example, ensuring buzz is not an easy task.

The core of the whole thing is to ensure it generates buzz.

She felt there was no problem with the subsequent expansion direction, since the company didn't make money from its own products; what it wanted was a brand.

In particular, Lin Lang's plan to lower the threshold for luxury goods is a very important point, pointing out the direction for the entire brand.

This is a very suitable product. Small brands can't do it, ordinary people don't have the resources or the traffic, and large corporations and big brands can't focus their efforts on it.

The true era of the internet has arrived, an era where traffic and brands reign supreme.

Moreover, Lin Lang targets consumer luxury goods, an industry that has always been a hotbed of problems because it is difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake products, and there is no unified standard.

"Mr. Yan, this is just one path; there's another. If you want to create a low-end milk tea brand, you can still use the 'rich heiress' persona, but the operational strategy needs some changes. For example, this 'rich heiress' persona could start with her family owning a milk tea shop, thus expanding brand awareness. As the persona becomes more solid and traffic increases, you can initially sell some products at a slight loss, and later, after integrating the supply chain, you'll have the strength to break into the low-end milk tea industry..."

As for the mid-range market, Lin Lang hadn't even considered it; that kind of market was really hard to compete in.

No matter what, it's just selling milk tea, an industry with limited growth potential and a very competitive market.

Operating a mid-range brand is purely a thankless and exhausting task.

In Lin Lang's view, Zhong Xuegao had already established itself as a high-end brand, but ice cream is a very seasonal product, and coupled with their lack of funds, they eventually went out of business.

There is never a shortage of users for high-end products in China, but there are not many products that can truly possess a high-end quality.

We talked for about two hours in total.

Yan Keming was very satisfied. In his opinion, Lin Lang's marketing ability was stronger than his financial ability. He could connect any industry with the Internet and make the most of this tool.

Around 4 PM, he received a phone call, said something had come up, and then left.

Yan Li said, "Such a good project plan, just given away like that? This proposal is worth at least 20 million, and if we participate in its operation, it should be a project worth 200 million..."

Marketing alone requires 200 million yuan, which is something most companies simply can't afford.

"It's my fault for coming empty-handed today. If my mom finds out I'm eating and drinking tea, she'll definitely blame me for not knowing the rules."

Yan Li laughed, "I talked to my aunt and uncle last night. My aunt asked about my parents. Do you think I should let my parents meet them?"

Lin Lang: "Aren't you going to cover for me anymore?"

"Cover what?" Yan Li asked back.

"Ok?"

Yan Li stood up, pulled Lin Lang aside, and said, "Come with me to see the room I've arranged for you. You've been working too hard lately, so you don't need to travel back and forth. Just stay at my place, and I'll go to the company with you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, arrange for someone from the company to pick up Yang Xi from the airport tomorrow."

"Okay."

Yan Li held onto Lin Lang's arm tightly and never let go.

In Yan Li's view, allowing guests to stay overnight is not a normal thing to do.

So far, the only time they've let Shen An'an stay here is because Shen An'an has a very close relationship with their relatives, and they don't feel comfortable letting her stay outside on her own.

Apart from Shen An'an, even her closest relatives would be arranged to stay outside, and business friends would be even less likely to be accommodated.

Lin Lang was the second person to move into his home.

“Shen An’an stayed in this room… but most of the things inside have been replaced,” Yan Li said after leading Lin Lang in.

"What? You changed it? You're such a spendthrift! If you put the blanket that Shen An'an used online, you could make a lot of money. Many people would buy it to ward off evil spirits."

Yan Li: "???"

However, it seems to be true. Although Shen An'an's account is currently under traffic restrictions, her fans are incredibly active in making memes every time she posts a video.

All I can say is that her persona is perfectly suited for the internet industry.

After touring the room, Yan Li led Lin Lang to the balcony.

Although the building is not tall, only on the second floor, the overall view is very open, with the Huangpu River not far away and the core buildings of Lujiazui all in sight.

This is the prosperity of a financial city; any place here is worth a fortune.

And hidden within this are various intricate relationships...

If Lin Lang were reborn from thirty years in the future, then without a doubt, he would choose Shanghai, and he would choose to try to conquer Shanghai.

Thirty years is enough for him to work until he's close to retirement, and by then no one will cause him any trouble.

However, given that he only had a maximum of ten years, he didn't want to take the risk.

He can't retire in his thirties; he has a long life ahead of him, and he'll probably be driven crazy by all the troubles.

Countless people will test him; if one year isn't enough, they'll try three; if three years isn't enough, they'll try five, ten, or even twenty years...

It's like seventy or eighty years ago, when someone suddenly said they were stepping down, but who would believe they really were?
If he were to completely relinquish all power and step down, he would not even be able to control his own life or death.

Just like Guan Sheng, he is very impressive at his current age, but if he starts to become mediocre and rests on his laurels, he will be forced to step down in a few years, and in ten years he will have less and less status. Even his past honors will become stumbling blocks for those who come after him.

How can the younger generation prove their awesomeness if they don't take down a few of their predecessors?

Lin Lang dared to say that in Tianshui County, for the next ten years or even the next hundred years, no one would be more powerful than him. No one could step on his head, and no one could take away what he wanted, even if he had to endure decades of hardship.

But it won't work in Shanghai. There will definitely be someone more awesome than him. Even if they can't surpass his peak, they can still take him down when he's at his lowest point. It's not difficult.

Yan Li brought over two glasses of wine, handed one to Lin Lang, then gently clinked glasses with it and said, "Lin Lang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lin Lang said with a smile, "It's also a pleasure to meet President Yan."

Yan Li's features are captivating no matter when you look at them.

Her suit jacket today added a touch of competence to her appearance.

After finishing his drink, Yan Li took the cup back and said, "I've arranged dinner a little late; it'll probably be around 7 p.m.

"Eating around 8 PM is fine, I don't think I'll be able to sleep until 1 or 2 AM."

"Hmm? There's still plenty of time. How about I change my clothes and then you dance for me?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't know how to do anything..."

"Did you practice with Fu Xueqing?"

Lin Lang: "..."

That was over a decade ago, my junior year of college in my previous life. It was more than eleven years since my rebirth, and it's been a full twelve years since then. "It's settled then! Wait for me for twenty minutes."

After Yan Li finished speaking, she left.

Lin Lang took out his phone and quickly searched for ballroom dance practice videos.

When Lin Lang saw the different walking styles—men's and women's steps, fast three and slow four—he felt like he was doomed.

This little thing is actually quite difficult to learn.

How did I learn this in my past life?
By the way, how did I end up being friends with Fu Xueqing in my past life?
I have no impression at all.

Although it wasn't absolutely necessary for Lin Lang to learn this little thing, he still tried to learn it for a while, because he couldn't let Yan Li see that he was just going through the motions and didn't know anything.

They've kindly invited me.

When he heard footsteps, Lin Lang put away his phone and looked in the direction the sound came from.

He didn't check the exact time, but it was definitely within half an hour.

Yan Li has changed her previous "official" style of dress to a sexy style.

Her originally long, flowing hair was now completely tied up on top of her head, creating a neat and innocent bun.

The bun hairstyle made her facial features more three-dimensional, and the exquisite sense of layering was like appreciating a work of art.

She changed into a white French-style satin fitted halter jumpsuit. The original halter straps were replaced by a pearl necklace that wrapped around the back of her neck and hooked onto the dress.

The straight-up-and-down halter design left a deep V-shape in front of her, highlighting her subtly revealed curves.

Yan Li has a great figure; although not as voluptuous as Shen An'an's, she is much more elegant.

No matter the situation, she always exudes a strong sense of confidence, something that seems to be ingrained in her bones, making her never feel intimidated.

"Mr. Yan, you're really going all out today."

Lin Lang walked over and admired Yan Li up close, which was an ultimate enjoyment.

Yan Li had never worn such a sexy outfit before, especially the satin fabric that directly covered her chest, the curve of which was absolutely stunning.

Yan Li stretched out her slender white fingers, pulled on Lin Lang's shirt collar, and slowly leaned closer, whispering, "Hold me."

Lin Lang's hand slowly moved down from Yan Li's back, following the curve of her body, until it reached her waist.

Yan Li didn't even need to stand on his tiptoes to be at the same height as Lin Lang.

However, after waiting for a while, she still couldn't get Lin Lang to take the lead.

"what happened?"

"You're so beautiful, I completely forgot how to dance."

Yan Li slowly released the hand that was holding Lin Lang's fingers, and directly put the hand that was originally on Lin Lang's shoulder around Lin Lang's neck.

He turned his head slightly and kissed her.

Lin Lang and Yan Li had many intimate encounters, including but not limited to the time when Yan Li suddenly crawled into bed with him back in their hometown.

But the real relationship never progressed.

Perhaps there has always been an opportunity, but the interests between Lin Lang and her are too intertwined, so he is not willing to take the initiative.

He usually just jokes around; he's never even looked at the leg photos Yan Li sends him, even if they're very attractive.

If Lin Lang's hands are only on the woman's waist when kissing, then he is definitely not a qualified man.

In this respect, Lin Lang was no different from other men.

In particular, Yan Li's camisole itself leaves plenty of room.

As the surrounding atmosphere grew more intense, Lin Lang's already groggy mind became completely absorbed.

Slowly, they helped Yan Li to the bed. As they peeled off her camisole, Yan Li, with her eyes closed, let out a soft murmur.

This is the most perfect body in the world, so perfect that even with a magnifying glass, you can't find any flaws.

Like delicate mutton fat jade, it has the smoothness of silk and the brightness of moonlight, with just the right amount of fullness and plumpness, and exquisite shape.

……

Xinglan No.1 Courtyard.

Shen An'an was called from the bedroom to the living room by Shen Xingnan.

Shen Xingnan's expression wasn't very good because a few days ago Yan Keming had hinted that Yan Li and Lin Lang were together, but he pretended not to hear it and didn't continue the conversation.

But just now, Yan Keming called again, saying that he had invited Lin Lang to his house today and wanted Lin Lang to stay overnight.

Staying overnight? What kind of relationship would allow someone to stay overnight?
This was the second time Yan Keming had hinted at it, and he had made it quite obvious. He had no choice but to say a few more words.

Then, Yan Keming found an excuse and said directly that he would meet with Lin Lang's parents when he returned home for the New Year to discuss Yan Li's marriage to Lin Lang.

What could he say?
He couldn't say anything.

This matter depends on Shen An'an's attitude.

"An'an, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Lin Lang? Why are Lin Lang and Yan Li getting so close? They're even staying at each other's houses now."

Shen An'an was stunned when she heard this. She went to stay at Yan Li's house?

"real or fake?"

"Would I lie to you? Your aunt's husband called me personally to tell you."

"I don't believe it. I'm going to send him a message and ask him."

Shen An'an took out her phone and immediately sent a message to Lin Lang.

Shen Xingnan didn't care about those few minutes, so he simply waited.

If Shen An'an still has the upper hand in her relationship with Lin Lang, then even if he has a conflict with Yan Keming, he will still stand on Shen An'an's side.

But if you lose even the initiative in your emotions, then nothing else matters.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Shen An'an was still holding her phone, her expression clearly showing some anxiety. Shen Xingnan couldn't wait any longer and asked directly, "Has Lin Lang replied yet?"

Shen An'an glanced at her father and said, "He replied. He's not at my cousin's house; he's staying in a hotel by himself."
