Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Three energetic young women rushed to the middle of the aisle and lined up in a row.

The next second, they twisted their ankles, swayed their bodies, and smoothly executed a half-twisted ankle social dance, followed by dazzling hand gestures. It was the same dance they had just performed for their driving test!

"Holy crap!" Qin Ziyi, always the center of attention, couldn't miss this opportunity. With a yell, he dropped his chopsticks and rushed over, swaying wildly to their rhythm. The "Seaweed Dance" performed by the energetic young woman was truly significant to Qin Ziyi; it was because of this that he resolutely decided to become Shen Fei's apprentice—a teacher for a day, a godfather for life. "Say goodbye to all your troubles, say hi hi to all your happiness..."

The birthday song from Haixia Lao was still playing over and over again. As a professional dance student, Xu Lu could basically figure out how to dance after watching it just once. She really wanted to dance, but she was too embarrassed to do so in front of so many people.

Just then, Li Mei suddenly rushed over, grabbed Wang Kai, and dragged him away.

Although Wang Kai is a homebody, you never know what outrageous things a homebody might do at home.

Wang Kai twisted his body, and his demonic form leaped up, his skill surpassing even Qin Ziyi's.

Seeing that even the socially awkward Wang Kai had been pulled into the dance floor by Li Mei, Xu Lu couldn't resist any longer and joined the fray with a smile.

For a moment, the employees of Feiyu Media performed a series of driving tests in the aisle of Haixialao, their uniformity and individual style leaving the birthday guests speechless, while the surrounding waiters and other customers stared in astonishment.

To be a waiter at Haidilao, you need to have exceptional social skills. Plus, the driving test (Part 3) has recently become quite popular, and some waiters are very familiar with it. They might not have recognized the three young women before, but now that Part 3 is out, they immediately recognize them.

Amid a commotion, a young woman dressed as a manager pulled several people around her to join the dance group.

At this moment, Zhou Yun was sitting in her seat, recording a video on her phone, laughing so hard she could barely stand up straight.

She was wearing a fitted knit sweater today, and with her laughter, her vast and profound bosom was surging and heaving.

Shen Fei, holding his wine glass, unconsciously fixed his smiling gaze on her.

Under the lights, she laughed unrestrainedly, her eyes and brows gleaming with light. Her pure joy captivated Shen Fei, leaving him somewhat mesmerized.

Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Shen Fei snapped out of his daze, took out his phone, and glanced at it.

A new friend on WeChat will receive a friend request message.

[Douyin Official] Yanming.

Message content: Mr. Shen, this is Yan Ming, the operations manager of ByteDance's content management department...

A ripple appeared deep in Shen Fei's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He calmly put away his phone, a faint smile on his face, and continued drinking.

"Brother Fei, drink!" Qin Ziyi swayed his body, covered in sweat, and was having a blast.

The catchy rhythm of the driving test (or driving test part 3) echoed throughout the walkway of Haixialao.

Haixialao's birthday song has been changed to "Seaweed Dance," and the waiters are now waving their arms to the rhythm, bringing the atmosphere to a fever pitch.

Shen Fei couldn't help but think of the background music "A Smile in the Jianghu" from his previous life. In his memory, this song was not released until 2020. If he could have created it earlier, it would probably have been even more popular than "Meow Meow Meow". Unfortunately, he was not born into a music family and could not use it as a reference to create it.

Shen Fei's thoughts were interrupted when the waiter brought out new dishes.

After the dinner party ended, Shen Fei called a designated driver to take Zhou Yun home.

The Bentley smoothly drove out of the bustling street. As night deepened, a faint smell of alcohol filled the car.

"Shen Fei," Zhou Yun suddenly spoke, her voice slightly slurred with drunkenness, "What...what do you think of me?" She tilted her head, looking at him half-jokingly, but her eyes held a hint of seriousness.

"Teacher Zhou is a rising star at Feiyu Media, a future top influencer. What more could I say?"

"Don't give me that. Seriously, don't you think I'm... kind of childish?"

"Naive? Teacher Zhou, you're joking."

Shen Fei looked at Zhou Yun's chest with a puzzled expression, his eyes somewhat unfocused. This wasn't something a child could grow.

Zhou Yun noticed Shen Fei's gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't press the matter further.

The atmosphere in the carriage became somewhat ambiguous, yet also carried a sense of distant estrangement.

......

The next morning, Shen Fei arrived at the company on time. He sat in his office, waiting for the online meeting with Douyin officials.

Soon, Yan Ming sent over the meeting link. The video call connected, and Yan Ming's face appeared on the screen.

He exchanged a few polite words at first, then got straight to the point, sounding a bit pretentious. Shen Fei didn't mind; to Douyin's official team, a small MCN company really wasn't worth their much attention.

He then briefly introduced the current situation of Feiyu Media, without deliberately boasting.

"Mr. Shen, hello. The main reason for this meeting is to represent the platform and express our hope for in-depth cooperation with Feiyu Media," Yan Ming said with a smile. "The platform will soon launch an MCN support program to support high-potential and creative MCN agencies like Feiyu Media. Our department met with Feiyu Media at yesterday's meeting and saw its strong potential in content production and traffic operation. We hope to join hands with your company to create a prosperous short video ecosystem."

Yan Ming's offer was just polite talk, but it also represented his own opinion of Feiyu Media: that it had potential, that cooperation was possible, and that he valued it.

Shen Fei keenly realized that this was Douyin's official recognition of Feiyu Media, which was indeed a huge opportunity.

However, he did not show any joy; instead, he remained calm, as if he were deep in thought.

After a moment, Shen Fei spoke calmly: "Thank you, Manager Yan, for recognizing Feiyu Media."

However, I have a few conditions regarding cooperation, and I wonder if you can make that decision.

Yan Ming's smile froze slightly; he hadn't expected Shen Fei to turn around and make demands.

"President Shen, please tell us."

Seeing that he did not express his opinion, Shen Fei continued, "First, we hope to be in the first tier in terms of resource allocation for the MCN support plan."

Secondly, regarding the revenue sharing ratio, I hope the platform can negotiate with us separately.

Third, we need a certain right to know about the data analysis of the works of our artists within our platform, in order to better optimize the content.

Finally, and most importantly, all artists signed with Feiyu Media must have absolute autonomy over their personal branding, free from any form of interference from the platform.
