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

Chapter 289 Following Xiao Wang's Path

Are there any classmates with sufficient influence?

When Amy heard this, her first thought was of the school beauty, Jiang Nansun.

Previously, Jiang Nansun was just the most beautiful girl in the architecture department, but the movie "Old Boy" made her the undisputed most beautiful girl in Tongji University.

But Amy and Jiang Nansun are not in the same class, and they are not familiar with each other, so this is a bit of a problem!
"Honey, I'm going to the restroom."

Amy gave Ye Luming a light peck on the cheek, then got up and left.

She was actually going to the restroom to make a phone call, trying to find a way to invite Jiang Nansun.

As soon as the person left, Ye Luming, who was sitting at the table, immediately sat up straight, his face returning to a serious expression, and looked at Yang Muye very intently:
"I bet on the way here, Mr. Yang, Fan Jingang must have said a lot of bad things about me to you, like I'm a spoiled brat, ambitious but incompetent, and out of touch with the domestic world after spending too much time abroad... The main point is, don't start a business with me!"

Yang Muye smiled.

That shows they have a good sense of self-awareness.

Ye Luming looked smug.

"Actually, Fan Jingang is not wrong. He has seen through most of my shortcomings. However, he misjudged one thing: when I asked to meet with President Yang, it was not to talk about starting a business. That was just a pretext."

"For example, if I told my third uncle that I wanted to meet with President Yang to ask him for advice on how to pick up girls, he would definitely tell me one word: 'Get lost!'"

“Relatively speaking, starting a business is a more serious matter. If I ask him to come out, my third uncle can’t refuse me. But actually, my purpose in asking Mr. Yang to meet me was very simple: I just wanted to make friends with him.”

At this point, Ye Luming held up his coffee:
“I actually envy my third uncle’s generation. They became friends because they shared common interests, ideals, and sentiments, unlike us 80s and 90s generation, whose friendships are now just about eating, drinking, and having fun, which is quite meaningless.”

"Of course, I don't ask for much. I'd be happy to be friends with Mr. Yang in terms of eating, drinking and having fun. Of course, it would be even more perfect if Mr. Yang could share some tips on picking up girls with me."

Yang Muye suppressed a laugh.

I just praised Ye Luming for his self-awareness, why is he insecure now?
With your looks and family background, do you really need someone to teach you how to pick up girls?
"I was serious."

Ye Luming put down his coffee cup: "I'm not talking about picking up girls like Amy, but rather internet celebrities like Sisters Who Make Waves."

"Of course I'm not trying to make a move on the girls from the 'Sisters Who Make Waves' group. Even if I did have such thoughts, Mr. Yang, you certainly wouldn't agree."

"What I mean is, Mr. Yang, could you teach me how to turn a girl into an internet celebrity?"

Yang Muye nodded.

understood.

Ye Luming's goal is not to date internet celebrities, but to enjoy the process of turning a bunch of girlfriends into internet celebrities.

Putting everything else aside, the idea of ​​"self-reliance and hard work" is quite commendable.

"Mr. Ye, you could try a different approach. Instead of promoting others, promote yourself. Imagine if you were a big internet celebrity, the girls you're with would naturally become famous too."

As soon as Yang Muyi finished speaking, Ye Luming's eyes lit up.

They are clearly very interested in this proposal.

"But I don't have any outstanding talents, so how can I become an internet celebrity?"

Yang Muye smiled again.

What a question! You may not have any special talents, but you're incredibly wealthy.

What's more, you also have such an authoritative and standard "rich guy face".

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Ye Luming became a beggar, people wouldn't think he was bankrupt and down on his luck just by looking at his face; they would only think he was experiencing life.

"Mr. Ye, have you been involved in live streaming abroad?"

"I've watched them, mainly game live streams."

"I've invested in a live streaming website called Panda TV, which will launch next week. If you're interested, Mr. Ye, why don't you register an account and give it a try?"

I?
When it comes to game streaming?
Ye Luming immediately waved his hand.

"I'm really bad at games, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off."

Yang Muye shrugged:

"I didn't ask you, Mr. Ye, to show off your skills in the game; I asked you to flaunt your wealth in the game!"

what?
Ye Luming stood there, stunned.

"Mr. Ye, have you heard of NetEase's 'Dream of Jianghu'? It just so happens that the game has launched a marriage system recently, and the highest level wedding is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Harmony'."

To hold such a wedding, you need to consume a lot of in-game items and collect items dropped from high-difficulty dungeons and quests.

The two players who eventually get married will not only receive a grand wedding announced to the entire server, but will also receive two exclusive mounts: a dragon and a phoenix.

To hold such a wedding, it would cost at least 500,000 RMB, including in-game purchases and the acquisition of in-game items.

No wealthy player in the game has ever been this extravagant.

Ye Luming raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

Half a million.

It's not that expensive.

Of course, Ye Luming is just rich, not stupid.

If Ye Luming actually enjoys playing the game "Dream Wanderer," he wouldn't even bat an eye at spending 500,000.

Ye Luming doesn't even play this game. Spending 500,000 just to show off in the game is a complete waste of his time.

"Here's the thing, Pig Farm signed an agreement with me. I'm going to find five girls to form a new girl group of internet celebrities to serve as game experience officers for 'Dream Journey to the Jianghu,' and they'll stream themselves playing the game for two hours every day."

“I play this game occasionally, but I always have those five girls carry me when I log in. If you come to play, Mr. Ye, I will give you this spot in the team for multiplayer dungeons.”

In this way, thanks to the exposure from the Campus Beauty Alliance game live stream, Ye Luming quickly accumulated his first batch of fans.

The second step is to further expand brand awareness and achieve the goal of breaking into the mainstream by offering a "Dragon and Phoenix Harmony" wedding that requires in-app purchases.

The third step is to "expose" Ye Luming's real-life identity: a wealthy young man who returned from overseas, the owner of Luming Advertising Company, and Ye Jinyan's nephew.

—The key point is the third identity.

Leveraging Ye Jinyan's fame in the real estate industry, it would be easy to solidify Ye Luming's persona as a "super rich man" and "national husband".

To put it bluntly, it's about going down the same path as Wang Sicong in his next life.

In terms of financial resources, Ye Luming may not be able to compare with Wang Sicong.

In terms of looks, Ye Luming is far more authoritative than Wang Sicong.

At least in terms of the nickname "National Husband," Ye Luming is definitely more deserving than Wang Sicong.

Ye Luming was considering Yang Muye's suggestion when Amy returned from the restroom.

"Honey, what are you two talking about?" Amy asked curiously after sitting down next to Ye Luming.

Ye Luming glanced at Yang Muye across from him.

"We're talking about games."

"Do all boys like playing games this much?" Amy asked in a deliberately coquettish tone.

Ye Luming reached out and put his arm around Amy's waist, gazing at his girlfriend with deep affection.

"I play games not just for my own enjoyment, but also to prepare a surprise for you in the game. I was just discussing this with Mr. Yang."

Amy looked delighted after hearing this.

"is it?"

"It's a pity that this surprise needs to be prepared in the game for a while, so it won't be in time for your birthday party on Saturday, but I will definitely make it up to you."

Ye Luming pretended to "blame himself" and said.

Amy also looked at Ye Luming with "emotion".

She didn't really care about the surprises Ye Luming prepared in the game, as long as the compensation he gave included various brand-name jewelry, bags, cosmetics, clothes and shoes.

Most importantly, on her birthday party day, she would display all these gifts in the most prominent position so that the girls in her class who were deliberately ostracizing her would open their eyes wide and take a look.

"Honey, I also have a surprise for you."

"What is it?" Ye Luming asked curiously.

Just as Amy was about to speak, Ye Luming suddenly looked as if he had just realized something.

"I see. Did you already invite a VIP guest to your birthday party on Saturday?" A hint of unease flickered in Amy's smile.
She only extended an invitation.

The other party hasn't agreed to come yet.

But with the atmosphere already built up to this point, Amy had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

She just called the class monitor from the restroom and asked him to invite Jiang Nansun on her behalf.

The class monitor and Jiang Nansun shared a dormitory, so they could talk to each other.

It would be great if Jiang Nansun could agree.

Even if she refused, Amy had already come up with a plan.

The official statement was that Jiang Nansun had originally agreed to come, but had something come up on the day and couldn't make it.

Buy yourself a decent gift and display it there, saying it's from Jiang Nansun, and no one will suspect anything.

Moreover, Amy played a trick when she called the class monitor.

She asked the class monitor to tell Jiang Nansun that Yang Muye was Ye Luming's good friend and would also be attending her birthday party.

If there are acquaintances among them, Jiang Nansun should at least give them some face, right?
As luck would have it, Yang Muyi received a text message from Jiang Nansun on his phone shortly afterward.

How did you meet Ai Meixiang?

Yang Muye didn't even realize what was happening after reading the text message.

Who is Ai Meixiang?
I don’t make it.

After putting down his phone, he saw Amy snuggling up to Ye Luming on the other end and suddenly realized what was happening.

So this is Amy's real name?
"Miss Ai, I haven't yet asked what your full name is—"

Before he could finish speaking, Amy interrupted:
"My original name wasn't very nice, so Mr. Yang, just call me Amy."

This is a real deal.

Yang Muye picked up his phone and started replying to text messages.

“She’s sitting right in front of me right now. She says her name is Amy, but she doesn’t know her real name. Her boyfriend asked me to come.”

Before the text message was even sent and the phone could be put down, Jiang Nansun's new text message arrived.

"But I heard that she's being kept by an older man outside of school?"

"Your information is wrong."

"So she wasn't kept by a sugar daddy?"

"What I mean is that the man who's keeping her isn't an old man. He's only in his early twenties, just returned from studying abroad, and he's quite handsome, though of course a tiny bit less attractive than me."

Jiang Nansun sent a string of ellipses in a text message.

Yang Muye held his phone, replying to text messages while glancing at Ye Luming across from him.

"I just met Ye Jinyan's nephew this afternoon. He's throwing a birthday party for this girl named Amy on Saturday and invited me to attend."

"So that's why Aimeixiang invited me to her birthday party out of the blue. It's all your fault."

"These kinds of parties are bound to be boring, so I can't be the only one suffering, can I?"

After sending the text message, Jiang Nansun was probably really angry, because he didn't reply at all.

After putting down his phone, Yang Muyi picked up his coffee and took a sip.

To be honest, the taste was just average.

The main value lies in the unobstructed view across the Huangpu River.

Unfortunately, the lovey-dovey couple in front of us was a real eyesore.

This kind of afternoon tea place is only suitable for single men and women.

Yang Muye put down his coffee cup and stood up consciously. Ye Luming, who was already hugging Amy, also tried to persuade Yang Muye to stay.

"Mr. Yang, please sit a little longer and try their pastries."

I haven't even said I'm leaving yet!
At this moment, Yang Muyi really wanted to listen to the advice and sit down to see what kind of interesting expression Ye Luming would have on his face.

"I have something to do, so I have to go now."

Ye Luming stood up as well.

"Then I'll give it to you."

"it is good."

At the restaurant entrance, Ye Luming and Yang Muye shook hands and said goodbye.

"Mr. Yang, which server do you play in 'Dream Talk Jianghu'?"

"The beauty and the kingdom."

Ye Luming nodded, thinking that the name of this district was quite to his liking.

"Okay, I'll create an account and try it out later. Also, I'll seriously consider the paid wedding thing you mentioned."

Seeing that Ye Luming listened to his advice, Yang Muye pointed to his neck before leaving.

"Mr. Ye, this is a bit dirty. Remember to wipe it clean when you look in the mirror later."

Ye Luming immediately raised his hand to touch his neck, and when he looked at it, he saw that there were lipstick marks on both of his fingers.

When I looked up again at Yang Muye, he had already turned and left.

Ye Luming couldn't help but chuckle.

So this is what they were waiting for!
As soon as Yang Muyi came out of the main entrance of the Peace Hotel, he saw Ye Jinyan's BMW 760Li with the license plate Shanghai A·88888 driving towards him.

After bringing Yang Muye over, Fan Jingang stayed there, waiting for Yang Muye.

The car stopped in front of the hotel, and the doorman came forward to help Yang Muye open the car door.

As soon as Yang Muyi got into the car, Fan Jingang couldn't wait to ask about the meeting they had just had.

"It's alright, I got along quite well with President Ye."

Yang Muye answered casually.

Fan Jingang hesitated for a moment:
"Mr. Yang, has Mr. Ye mentioned starting his own business?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye is very interested in the influencer economy and is planning to try it out himself."

Fan Jingang was stunned.

What does this mean? Is Ye Luming going to start an MCN agency and cultivate his own internet celebrities?
"Mr. Yang, didn't we agree before that we wouldn't talk about starting a business with Mr. Ye?"

Yang Muye turned his head:

"Secretary Fan, are you mistaken?"

You might think Ye Luming is trying to spend money to make others internet celebrities, but actually he's planning to spend money to make himself one.

Since it's an investment in oneself, it can certainly be considered starting a business.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingang wore a shocked expression, as if he had never seen anything like it before.

Although he dared not speak, he dared not ask.

but--

Are you really sure this is what entrepreneurship is, or just an excuse for your extravagant spending and wastefulness?
Seeing Fan Jingang hesitate, Yang Muye smiled inwardly.
Previously, they kept saying they weren't afraid of rich kids being spoiled and losing their ambition, but they were afraid of the other party having lofty aspirations.

Now that the rich guy is really going to indulge in frivolous pursuits and neglect his duties, you guys are unhappy about it.

Yang Muyi was too lazy to argue any further, so he took out his phone and dialed Jiang Nansun's number.

The call was disconnected after only two rings.

Before Yang Muyi could call again, Jiang Nansun sent a text message.

"I'm in class, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask about Ai Meixiang's situation."
