The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 179 Becoming an internet celebrity is easy, as long as you're willing to skirt the edges.

After Yang Tao entrusted her "Happy Farm" to Yang Muyi for "care," she finally felt at ease.

After finishing her meal, Yang Tao threw herself into her work.

At 2 p.m., Wang Jingming walked into the hotel lobby.

Upon seeing Yang Tao, she took the initiative to come over and greet her.

Wang Jingming had arranged to meet someone here, and the other person had already arrived.

Just as Yang Tao watched Wang Jingming walk towards the lobby bar.

A red Volkswagen Beetle was parked in front of the hotel.

Wang Niulang, who was standing at the entrance, assured his two "apprentices," Zhang Guangzheng and Shao Xingchi, that the person driving the car must be a beautiful woman.

As they were talking, Wang Niulang was about to step forward and open the car door for the guest.

Unexpectedly, the driver's side door opened as soon as the car came to a stop.

When Wang Niulang saw that the person who got out of the car was a young man wearing a baseball cap backwards, he was taken aback.

The young man waved to Wang Niulang, indicating that he didn't need help, and then ran over to the passenger side, fawningly opening the car door.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a beautiful woman in an elegant blue dress, with fair skin, a pretty face, and an outstanding temperament.

When getting off the bus, the young man was worried that the woman might bump her head, so he considerately put his hand on her head for protection.

He looked like a complete sycophant.

After closing the car door, Lu Xiaobei approached Lu Xiaoshan with a fawning expression.

"Sister, let me help you with your bag."

"No need. When we go inside, you stay away and don't disturb our conversation."

Lu Xiaobei immediately raised her hand behind her back and swore:
"Don't worry, I definitely won't bother you."

Lu Xiaoshan turned and walked into the hotel.

Lu Xiaobei rushed forward and helped Lu Xiaoshan push open the glass revolving door.

He took over all the work that should have been done by the doorman.

After Lu Xiaoshan went inside, Lu Xiaobei remembered that the car was still parked at the entrance. She turned around, handed the keys to Zhang Guangzheng, and hurriedly followed Lu Xiaoshan into the hotel.

Zhang Guangzheng handed the Beetle car keys to Wang Niulang, who was still in a daze.

“Master, it turns out you can be wrong too.”

Wang Niulang frowned as he looked at Lu Xiaoshan and Lu Xiaobei, the siblings, who walked into the lobby, his face full of confusion.

The people who drive Beetles are usually young and beautiful female drivers, whose fathers or husbands are either rich.

Otherwise, people wouldn't jokingly refer to cars as "mistress cars."

Wang Niulang felt that he was not wrong; the car most likely belonged to Lu Xiaoshan, and Lu Xiaobei was just a driver.

Driving a Beetle with a driver? This was the first time Wang Niulang had ever seen anything like it.

What Wang Niulang didn't know was that Lu Xiaoshan actually didn't want to bring Lu Xiaobei along at all.

Last night, Wang Jingming called Lu Xiaoshan, and Lu Xiaobei accidentally overheard the conversation.

This morning, Lu Xiaobei rushed to the bridal shop, insisting on coming along no matter what.

Lu Xiaoshan then let Lu Xiaobei be his driver for once.

When the two entered the lobby, Yang Tao was greeting other guests, and the two did not see each other.

The two went straight to the lobby bar after entering.

At this moment, Wang Jingming was already sitting in front of Hu Ling.

When these two "enemies" met, neither of them rushed to speak.

Wang Jingming was filled with emotion.

Ever since she met Yang Muyi, Hu Ling has been ahead of the game.

Not only is she doing a great job managing online influencers, but even Xin Huimei has said that she's considering switching jobs to her after a while.

When Wang Jingming approached Hu Ling to sign the authorization agreement for the use of "The Rest of My Life", he was still quite resentful.

At that time, Wang Jingming never dreamed that he would take the initiative to talk to Hu Ling about cooperation so quickly.

When it comes to judging people, Wang Jingming has to admit that Hu Ling has a better eye than him.

Just then, Lu Xiaoshan walked into the lobby bar, and Wang Jingming raised his hand to signal to him.

As soon as I put my hand down, I heard Hu Ling's barbed voice.

"Can't you change your taste? Your ex-wife was this type. I called her a vixen back then, and you weren't happy about it."

Wang Jingming sat up straight, his expression serious, and said:
"Can you stop making wild guesses? She's the owner of a wedding dress shop. I invited her over to seriously discuss business."

Hu Ling snorted coldly and turned her head to the side.

After Lu Xiaoshan arrived, Wang Jingming stood up, just about to introduce Lu Xiaoshan.

Hu Ling then stood up and offered her hand to Lu Xiaoshan.

"I am Hu Ling, the head of Starry Sea MCN."

"Rose Lane Wedding Photography Studio, Lu Xiaoshan".

After shaking hands, the two women sat down facing each other.

Wang Jingming was unable to get a word in edgewise, which was quite awkward.

At the same time, Lu Xiaobei also sat down in a seat in the corner of the lobby bar.

After the waiter came over, I casually ordered a coffee, sent him away, and kept my eyes fixed on this side.

Seeing that there was an empty single sofa seat in front of the table, Lu Xiaoshan asked curiously if they were waiting for someone.

"Wait for my boss."

Hu Ling stated frankly.

This made Lu Xiaoshan even more curious.

"Isn't Miss Hu the owner of Starry Sea?"

"I'm in charge of the day-to-day affairs of Xingchen Dahai; the boss is someone else," Hu Ling explained.

Lu Xiaoshan's beautiful eyes showed even greater curiosity.

The fact that Hu Ling is willing to work for him shows that the boss of Xingchen Dahai is quite impressive.

Just as I was thinking this, Wang Jingming interrupted.

"You met Hu Ling's boss yesterday; he was the best man at the wedding."

Lu Xiaoshan was stunned.

She was very impressed with the handsome best man from yesterday, and even considered inviting him to be a model for her wedding dress shop.

Now you're telling me he's actually the owner of Starry Sea?

If these words hadn't come from Wang Jingming's mouth, Lu Xiaoshan would have definitely thought it was a joke.

"Ms. Hu, I didn't expect your boss to be so young."

It was just a polite remark, but Hu Ling answered with a serious expression:
"He is quite young. He just turned eighteen this year and is a freshman in college."

Freshman year?

Wouldn't that be the same age as Lu Xiaobei?

Lu Xiaoshan turned to look at Wang Jingming in shock, wanting to make sure Hu Ling wasn't joking.

Wang Jingming shrugged and gave Lu Xiaoshan a look that said it all.

When he first learned Yang Muye's age, his reaction wasn't much better than Lu Xiaoshan's.

Before Lu Xiaoshan could recover from this "horrifying" news, he saw Hu Ling and Wang Jingming stand up from their seats one after the other.

Lu Xiaoshan turned his head and saw Yang Muyi walking leisurely towards him.

Lu Xiaoshan hurriedly stood up as well.

Sitting some distance away, Lu Xiaobei spotted Yang Muye even earlier than his sister. Now he finally remembered why Yang Muye looked so familiar. Wasn't he the lead singer of the Barbarian band who headlined the business school's welcome party with the most beautiful campus belle, Qiao Jingjing, performing "Want to Go to the Beach"?

There are several versions of the story circulating at the school about the Barbarians.

The general consensus is that this band has immense energy and a mysterious background.

Moreover, they have close ties with internet celebrities such as Old Boys, Plastic Brothers, and Sisters Who Make Waves.

Lu Xiaobei insisted on coming along to broaden her horizons after learning that Lu Xiaoshan was going to meet the mastermind behind the rise of Old Boys.

I haven't gained any new knowledge yet, but I am genuinely shocked.

As Yang Muyi walked toward Lu Xiaoshan's table, everyone, including his sister, immediately stood up to greet him.

Lu Xiaobei's mouth was wide open, her jaw almost dropping to the ground.

After regaining her senses, Lu Xiaobei immediately edited a text message and sent it to her sister, informing her in detail of Yang Muye's identity.

Hope it's not too late.

Yang Muye had met Lu Xiaoshan last night.

Upon meeting again, my first impression was that Lu Xiaoshan was very career-oriented.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Xiaoshan received a text message from Lu Xiaobei on his phone.

Lu Xiaoshan glanced at the text message and then put his phone back in his bag.

At this point, Wang Jingming had begun to explain to Yang Muyi his idea of ​​becoming a wedding influencer.

Wang Jingming only had a general idea; he would have to consult Yang Muye for specific instructions.

Yang Muyi did not immediately offer a solution, but instead asked Wang Jingming a question first.

"Is Mr. Wang planning to personally take charge?"

Wang Jingming immediately shook his head upon hearing this:
"I'll pass. I don't like being in the spotlight. I'm only suited to working behind the scenes. Hu Ling knows that. If you really want to make a video, you can pick two people from my company first."

Yang Muyi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to muster his troops:

"I think the two people in charge of the wedding yesterday were quite good. The last time I met them, they came with President Wang, right?"

Wang Yiyang and Huang Xiaoxian?
Wang Jingming immediately looked troubled.

Others might not know, but he knew all too well what was going on between the two of them.

They're like two sworn enemies.

If Wang Jingming hadn't been worried about the two of them causing some trouble, he wouldn't have had to make the trip in person last night.

"What, Mr. Wang, do you think they're not a good match?"

“They don’t get along very well in private. I’m afraid they’ll bring their emotions into their work and it will affect the quality of the video.”

The conflict between Wang Yiyang and Huang Xiaoxian wasn't exactly a family scandal, so Wang Jingming just spoke frankly about it.

For Yang Muyi, it wasn't a problem at all; instead, it became part of the video's entertainment value.

"That's exactly the kind of relationship we want—they're all smiles on the surface but not on the inside. That's what makes it fresh for the audience. Otherwise, if we just make wedding videos, nobody will watch them."

After hearing what Yang Muye said, Wang Jingming carefully recalled the way Wang Yiyang and Huang Xiaoxian usually got along.

If you encounter two employees like these in your daily work, you'll definitely have a headache.

However, if you were to film a video, placing the two of them together could definitely create a lot of interesting moments.

Just like yesterday when Huang Xiaoxian deliberately messed with Wang Yiyang during the game.

Moreover, the two are also a very "compatible" couple in terms of appearance.

Wang Yiyang is effeminate, but he can be very manly when he needs to be.

Huang Xiaoxian is a typical girl from the hutongs of Beijing, with a carefree personality just like a boy.

The combination of the two is both contrasting and complementary.

Wang Jingming was able to tolerate the two of them mainly because he was kind-hearted and felt that it wasn't easy for young people to find a job these days.

Looking back now, it seems I really struck gold.

While thinking this to himself, Wang Jingming had already made up his mind to go back and sign a new influencer contract with the two of them.

It's easy to create an account by leveraging the popularity of Xin Huimei's video singing "The Rest of My Life" at her wedding.

Seeing Wang Jingming's "sudden enlightenment" expression, Lu Xiaoshan became anxious.

Having come all this way, you can't just be a listener, can you?

The problem now is that I'm not familiar with Yang Muye.

Why should someone give you advice for no reason?
In desperation, Lu Xiaoshan thought of his younger brother, Lu Xiaobei.

He immediately stood up from his seat and waved to Lu Xiaobei over there.

Lu Xiaobei pointed to herself uncertainly, and only after seeing Lu Xiaoshan nod did she walk over, still confused.

Lu Xiaoshan immediately introduced Yang Muye to him:
"Mr. Yang, this is my younger brother, Lu Xiaobei. He was sitting next to me last night. You should remember him, right?"

Upon hearing the title "General Manager Yang," Lu Xiaobei's eyes widened in surprise.

Yang Muyi didn't pay much attention at first, but his gaze towards Lu Xiaobei changed when Lu Xiaoshan introduced Lu Xiaobei as a freshman at the Yan Economic and Trade Art Institute.

"Are you in the same class as Zheng Wei and Ruan Wan?"

Lu Xiaobei blurted out:

"You know them?"

"We're quite familiar with each other."

"Where are our plastic brothers?"

"That one is more familiar."

Lu Xiaobei wanted to continue asking Yang Muyi how these people knew each other, but Lu Xiaoshan tugged at his clothes, telling Lu Xiaobei to shut up.

Lu Xiaoshan only wanted to use Lu Xiaobei's alumni status to connect with Yang Muye, not to have Lu Xiaobei come here as a curious child.

"Xiao Bei, I have something to ask Mr. Yang. You can continue having your coffee."

Now that Lu Xiaobei has come, how could she possibly go back so easily?

Although she didn't dare to disobey Lu Xiaoshan to his face, Lu Xiaobei still came up with a plan. She went back and carried the coffee, then moved her seat directly to the table next to Lu Xiaoshan's.

Lu Xiaoshan had no choice but to glare at Lu Xiaobei, a warning in his eyes.

Then, Lu Xiaoshan turned his gaze to Yang Muye, earnestly asking for advice on how to create a brand name and operate a popular wedding dress shop.

"Mr. Lu, before answering your question, I'd like to clarify one thing: do you want to become an internet celebrity to advertise your bridal shop, or do you want to use your status as a bridal shop owner to become an internet celebrity?"

Lu Xiaoshan only showed a slight hesitation on her face, but Yang Muye immediately guessed her true thoughts.

We need both.

They're quite greedy.

Yang Muyi did not expose Lu Xiaoshan directly, but instead asked him a second question.

How much sacrifice is Lu Xiaoshan willing to make to become an internet celebrity?

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoshan's first reaction was "unspoken rules".

Lu Xiaoshan couldn't stand the various "unspoken rules" in the modeling industry, which is why he chose to leave the industry.

If being an internet celebrity means being subjected to unspoken rules, then she might as well go back to being a model!
Before Lu Xiaoshan could righteously and solemnly tell Yang Muye that she was not that kind of person, someone had already stood up for her.

"Hey Yang, we're classmates and alumni, how dare you set your sights on my sister! Don't think you're so great just because you run an influencer company. Let me tell you, my sister doesn't fall for that!"

Lu Xiaobei excitedly stood up from the next table, walked over, took Lu Xiaoshan's hand, and was about to lead her away.

Yang Muyi remained calm and composed, picked up his coffee, and gestured to Lu Xiaoshan and his sister to make their way.

Lu Xiaoshan immediately realized that he and his brother had misunderstood, shook off Lu Xiaobei's hand, and sat back down in their seats.

"Mr. Yang, what kind of sacrifice are you referring to?"

"You've all seen 'Men's Health' magazine, right? To put it nicely, it's about sacrificing for art, but it's really just skirting the line, Mr. Lu. Am I being blunt enough?"
