Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Kim Tae-yeon's face fell.

"What an unlovable child."

"A child, huh?" Su Xia curled her lip. "I'm 24, and I'm still a child?"

"If you were two years younger than me in ancient times, I could be your mother," Kim Tae-yeon said disdainfully, expressing her contempt for age.

"In ancient times, you'd be a grandmother by now," Su Xia rolled her eyes and said irritably.

That's still in ancient times.

"Then you probably can't be a father."

"Why?" Su Xia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because you have such a sharp tongue, you'll never find a wife."

"Heh." Su Xia remained unmoved. "That's still better than you, a 35-year-old single dog."

"You're single too, so why are you better than me?" Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia in disbelief. They were both single, so why was there discrimination?

"I'm eleven years younger than you, almost a full cycle. You're a complete 'leftover woman' in your late thirties, while I'm in the prime of my life!"

Kim Tae-yeon calmly crossed her arms over her chest.

"But if I wanted to, the line of men who wanted to marry me could stretch from Seoul all the way to your house, but not you."

"They're all after your money and your body. What kind of marriage is this?"

"Never mind the reasons, the result is that I can get married anytime I want, but you can't."

"Ha, you scumbag." Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon with disdain. "I want to marry someone I love, not just any woman."

"Love?" Kim Tae-yeon blinked. "That's a bit of a luxury for someone my age. You could try pursuing it, though... But..."

Kim Tae-yeon paused.

"You will gradually become more famous. As your fame and money increase, more and more people of the opposite sex will approach you under the guise of love. It will be very difficult for you to find your other half among these people."

Su Xia scratched her head after hearing Kim Tae-yeon's words.

"That sounds really brain-teasing. I probably can't beat Aquaman at my skill level, right?"

"If you remove the 'should' part, you definitely can't outmaneuver them," Kim Tae-yeon said cheerfully. "The real kings and queens of the sea have incredibly sophisticated methods; they'll take you down before you even realize it."

"How come you're so skilled?" Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon in confusion. "You don't look like a queen of the sea."

"I certainly can't do it, but I know people like that," Kim Tae-yeon said with a mysterious smile.

"Who is it? Go and learn a couple of tricks from me, then teach me. Knowing your enemy will help me avoid being scammed," Su Xia asked, her eyes lighting up.

"I'll tell you when I see her later." Kim Tae-yeon waved her hand. "Don't worry, I'll help you distinguish these ill-intentioned women before you send me away."

"Didn't you say you weren't good enough?" Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon suspiciously. "Or are you just stubbornly refusing to admit it?"

"I'm really not good at it, but even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run, right? Don't worry, leave it to me."

"You use proverbs so fluently, are you really Korean?" Su Xia began to question Kim Tae-yeon's nationality.

"Absolutely genuine." Kim Tae-yeon puffed out her not-so-prominent chest.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." Su Xia nodded.

"There's a problem," Kim Tae-yeon glanced at the time on the iPad, "You're going to be late."

Su Xia was startled.

"I'll cook it! My perfect attendance record!"

……

Law firm workstations.

"Damn it, this script isn't right, is it?" Su Xia muttered to himself. In his imagination, after he arrived at the law firm, everyone should be looking at him like they were looking at an internet celebrity.

Why isn't anyone saying anything? Could it be that no one has seen it?

"You only have 50,000 followers, not 5 million, 50 million." Kim Tae-yeon looked at him speechlessly. "Even I became known in my hometown because of 'Gee,' which made me famous nationwide. You're nothing compared to me."

In 09, "Gee" not only broke the negative impact of the Black Sea, but also made Kim Tae-yeon famous in her hometown of Jeonju, earning her the affectionate regional title of "Daughter of Jeonju".

"I was just saying it offhand." Su Xia looked at the various private messages in the background, many of which were business collaborations.

Su Xia, a first-time internet celebrity, realized why internet celebrities make money.

He earns a five-figure salary for shooting a customized video. And he's just a small-time internet celebrity. If he were a big-time internet celebrity, wouldn't he be earning six figures?

The commission rates for links on product showcases are also quite high, with the lowest being 5%, five percent, and the highest even reaching 20%.

No wonder everyone wants to be an internet celebrity; the money comes too fast.

"My advice is to not accept any male-male video calls," Kim Tae-yeon said.

"Why?" Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon with a puzzled expression. "These 'GG' videos are so lucrative, why don't you accept them?"

"I have some understanding of internet celebrities. Unlike artists, internet celebrities can monetize their content faster and more directly, but their fans generally have a higher level of resistance to inappropriate content. For internet celebrities with a high level of fan loyalty, having a lot of inappropriate videos doesn't matter much, but if you're just a newcomer and you start taking on inappropriate content right away, although making money is understandable, it will have a certain impact on the audience's perception and your public image, which will also affect your future development."

"So my advice is that you can display some items in the shop window to sell, but don't guarantee to sell anything, and refuse all GG videos."

"I won't accept a guarantee unless you ask. Don't forget what I do for a living."

Kim Tae-yeon then laughed.

"I almost forgot you're a lawyer. That's good, we'll save money on legal expenses."

Su Xia: "..."

I forgot to mention it.

"Okay, we'll do it your way." Su Xia nodded immediately.

"So agreeable?" Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia in surprise. "Weren't you eager to make money?"

"I do want to make money, but I want sustainable money. You've made it very clear that the money we make now is quick money at the expense of the future. The experience of the older generation has been laid bare, and we should still pay attention to what needs to be taken seriously."

"It's great that you think that way." Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia with relief. Luckily, Su Xia wasn't a stubborn mule with short-sighted vision, otherwise she would have really had to reconsider the cooperation method later.

People with short-sighted vision are hard to work with for long, so Kim Tae-yeon needs to find a different way to urge Su Xia to leave for her.

Although she had no choice, the way she cooperated, how much she taught, and whether she kept it to herself—it all depended on whether she wanted to or not.

"How about..." Su Xia frowned, "I shouldn't even accept any products anymore? Keep the homepage absolutely clean, anyway, I can still make a lot of money just from traffic revenue sharing."

The ratio of likes to views is generally 1:20. For example, his current cover of "Why" already has over two million views. Even if it stops growing from here, this one video will still earn him a thousand yuan.

For an influencer who gets all the GG commercial orders, this is nothing, but for Su Xia right now, it's already a considerable amount of extra income.
