Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

"What...what do you want to do?"

Chen Xi tried to remain calm, but the tremor in her voice betrayed her.

"I don't want to do anything."

Shen Fei's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he slowly raised his other hand, his fingertips seemingly tracing her collarbone.

Chen Xi froze, as if struck by an electric current.

"I just wanted to give Mr. Chen a little科普 (popular science) explanation."

Shen Fei leaned close to her ear, his hot breath going straight into her ear canal, making Chen Xi's ear roots turn bright red instantly.

"Besides being good at operations, I have another special skill."

"Wha...what special skill?"

Chen Xi asked subconsciously.

Shen Fei chuckled softly, his fingers gently hooking the clasp.

"I've practiced how fast I can unbutton a shirt with one hand."

"How about... Mr. Chen, give me a chance to demonstrate?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi finally settled down in Bengbu.

Chen Xi's face suggests that he can be witty and charming in the business world, and he is also a high-end player who can navigate the world of romance without ever getting attached to anyone.

She raised countless fish during her university years. Even if she didn't intentionally throw out the bait, she always held the initiative.

Ultimately, she's a theoretical genius but a practical novice.

I've never seen anything like this before.

She pushed Shen Fei away abruptly, her face as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Shenfei! You son of a bitch!"

Chen Xi cursed and turned to run away.

That figure looked utterly disheveled, completely lacking any of the aura of a sophisticated young lady from Shanghai.

She was running so fast that she almost stumbled and fell.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall. I won't be responsible for fixing the equipment if you break it!"

Shen Fei shouted from behind.

Shen Fei watched her fleeing figure and sneered.

"You little brat."

"Trying to play a ghost story with me? Don't you know who I am?"

"As long as I have no morals, you can't hold me hostage."

Shen Fei hummed a little tune, in a great mood.

Although I feel a bit hot, this comeback was awesome!

This woman is skilled, but she's just a paper tiger.

Shen Fei put away his camera and slowly walked back.

After returning to his room, Shen Fei took a cold shower to suppress his burning desire.

Even after two lifetimes, it would be a lie to say he had no reaction to a beauty like Chen Xi using her ultimate move so close to his face. He hadn't been reborn with the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Half an hour later, Shen Fei returned to his Saint-level cultivation.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and his gaze became focused again.

Open Premiere Pro.

Import materials.

Chen Xi's stunningly beautiful face appeared on the screen.

Editing, color grading, and music composition.

He chose a very light instrumental piece for the background music; it was sad, but not pretentious.

The key is still the original soundtrack.

No fancy special effects are needed.

No extra copywriting is needed.

These kinds of videos are all about playing with emotions.

Twenty minutes later, the entire video was exported.

Shen Fei read it three times over.

Perfect. Even more perfect than the original version from my previous life.

Chen Xi's voice is very beautiful, and it sounds a lot like the voice in that video from her past life. However, due to her deliberate emotional investment, Chen Xi's voice sounds even more heartbreaking.

Shen Fei originally intended for Zhou Yun to film this video, as her voice, which evoked a deep climax, was more captivating. However, Chen Xi's clear, soft voice was more heart-wrenching.

Shen Fei picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Chen Xi.

Shen Fei: "The video is ready, come and take a look."

After sending it, he added another sentence.

Shen Fei: "Don't worry, I won't unbutton my shirt, and I didn't bring a wrench."

The next room.

Chen Xi buried her face in the pillow, kicking her legs wildly in the air, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.

Shame!

What a shame!

She actually got flirted with by that jerk!

Just then, my phone rang.

She picked it up and took a look.

Upon seeing the second message from Shen Fei, Chen Xi's face, which had just cooled down a little, flushed red again.

That bastard!

How dare they even mention it!

She didn't want to go, but it concerned her career after all. She gritted her teeth, got out of bed, tidied her hair in front of the mirror, patted her cheeks, and transformed back into her aloof goddess appearance.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Shen Fei opened the door and saw Chen Xi, who had regained her cool and aloof goddess appearance, leaning leisurely against the door frame with her arms crossed.

Those peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, their gazes sparkling, showing no trace of the disheveled state they had displayed when they fled in panic.

"Boss Shen, you're quite efficient." She said in a flat tone, as if she wasn't the one who had just fled in panic.

Shen Fei stepped aside to let her in, then closed the door behind him. "It's mainly because Chen, the school beauty, has such a good foundation that it saved me a lot of trouble."

Chen Xi walked into the room, her gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Shen Fei's laptop.

The computer is currently playing videos taken tonight on a loop.

The dim streetlights, the falling snow, the simple background music, and a few lines of original soundtrack.

The video is short, only fifteen seconds long.

After reading it, Chen Xi asked doubtfully, "Is it really that simple?"

A video that doesn't show the face, just two simple lines of dialogue, no singing or dancing, and no emotional manipulation—what kind of short video is this?

She had thought there would be additional footage, at least enough for her to show her face.

"Didn't you also shoot a third-person perspective video? Why didn't you include it?"

Shen Fei wasn't surprised by Chen Xi's doubts, since people's understanding of short videos was still largely based on looks. He smiled, recalling the AI-generated short dramas and electronic actors that filled the screens of his previous life, and suddenly felt that these days were quite pure.

Shen Fei shook his head and said, "Of course I won't put it in. I have a very important use for that video. You'll find out soon enough."

He didn't explain further, but took a document from the table and handed it to Chen Xi. He grinned and said, "Here you go, Miss Chen, this is our contract. All the artists in our company have the same standard contract: ten years, 50/50 split. Take a look, and if there are no problems, just sign it. Think it through. Once you sign, you're mine."

Chen Xi suffered a great loss tonight. She completely ignored Shen Fei's provocation, forcefully pulled over the documents, and began to read them.

She had done her research before contacting Shen Fei.

In general, the revenue split in an agent's contract with a new artist is 30/70, or even 20/80.

Shen Fei offered a 50/50 revenue split, which was indeed very sincere. However, the contract was for a long term of ten years, which was the maximum allowed.

After reading it, Chen Xi asked a few questions and then signed his name.

She knew very well that she had no way out now. First of all, her own brand company would definitely not be able to continue operating. She knew her father well; once he decided to take action, he would not show her any mercy.

Secondly, she investigated all the accounts of Shen Fei's artists during this period. Those internet celebrities that Shen Fei directly contacted now have millions of fans.

Song Ting, in particular, has the most followers on her account, currently at 832 million, making her the TOP4 on the Douyin influencer follower list.

Aside from the celebrities who have joined, only Yichan Xiaoshang, Douma, and Zhang Xinyao have more fans than her. Douma and Yichan Xiaoshang are both internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans.

But Teacher Song Ting's account was only created a little over two months ago! That's why Chen Xi was willing to cooperate with Shen Fei.

This scumbag has, in a way, become a god.
