48: A fake rich and beautiful woman, but a real princess?

Chen Qiu wanted to give Zhang Mantong some perks.

Of course.

He wasn't so repressed that he would immediately start throwing money around to flaunt his wealth, expecting to bed her tonight!

Chen Qiu was not just a rich second-generation heir with money; he had a much simpler and more efficient way!

The two arrived at a coffee shop.

"Man Tong, you have hundreds of thousands of followers on Douyin, right?"

Zhang Mantong, having just taken a sip of coffee, felt her heart tighten upon hearing this.

Is he going to ask me about the Baimi thing?

Zhang Mantong felt a bit nervous inside, but on the surface, she nodded calmly.

"Yes, it's almost at one million."

"I wonder if you've considered rebranding?"

"Rebranding?"

Zhang Mantong blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Chen Qiu in surprise.

"It's not exactly a complete rebranding…"

Chen Qiu pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"If you just purely flaunt wealth, your Baimi persona is too shallow!"

"I have a method that can solidify and enhance your Baimi persona!"

Zhang Mantong's expression was a bit awkward.

Even though she had already prepared herself, Chen Qiu pointing out so directly that being a Baimi was just a persona made her feel like she had been stripped bare and seen through.

However, her attention quickly shifted to Chen Qiu's subsequent words.

"Enhance the Baimi persona without flaunting wealth?"

Zhang Mantong knitted her willow-leaf eyebrows.

For a moment, she really couldn't think of how to do that.

Chen Qiu smiled slightly and said.

"Do you know about the Cultural Industry Park that the city is prioritizing for development?"

Zhang Mantong nodded.

Her roommate, Shao Shushuang, was specifically responsible for the coordination of this project at the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Through constant exposure, she naturally had some understanding of it.

"Recently, the Cultural Industry Park project has started moving. Some self-media, including official media, have reported on it online, but most are just speaking in generalities!"

"If you could enter this project as an individual, visit some of the unfinished cultural buildings, announce planned activities in advance, or even make videos in collaboration with official media…"

"Not only that, you could participate in various cultural events in the city, such as anime film exhibitions and tourism promotions…"

"Then, would your Baimi identity still be shallow?"

After hearing Chen Qiu's words, Zhang Mantong's tender red lips parted, her face full of shock.

Imagining herself in Chen Qiu's vision, her Baimi identity wouldn't just stop being shallow.

With an official stamp of approval, the ability to have the Culture and Tourism Bureau collaborate with her, combined with the Baimi persona she had already built, she could basically upgrade directly to being the "Gannan Princess"!

But… after being excited for a while, Zhang Mantong immediately wilted.

"How could I possibly have the ability to leverage these resources…"

The Internet Celebrities capable of securing the resources Chen Qiu mentioned were either top Internet Celebrities supported by the local area or top-tier influencers nationwide!

She was just a fake Baimi who didn't even have a million followers; what right did she have!

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."

At this moment, Chen Qiu took out a business card and pushed it in front of Zhang Mantong.

"I own 30% of the shares in the Qiancheng Culture Industry Group. I am the major shareholder and also the president!"

"I am also the chief planner of the Cultural Industry Park!"

Chen Qiu's calm voice reached her ears, but Zhang Mantong was stunned on the spot.

With a boom, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her mind.

She was dumbfounded!

The president of the Qiancheng Culture Industry Group?!

From Chen Qiu, she had always vaguely sensed an inexplicably calm and relaxed aura.

It was very different from those restless rich second-generation heirs who only knew how to eat, drink, and play!

But, she never expected that it wasn't just a difference!

They weren't even on the same level!

She had heard from Shao Shushuang that the city had invested over a billion in the Cultural Industry Group!

And the man in front of her owned 30% of its shares and was the helmsman of this group…

"Did I accidentally hook a big shark?"

While Zhang Mantong was lost in a daze, Chen Qiu slowly drank his coffee.

Zhang Mantong was casting bait, but wasn't he doing the same!

In the planning proposal for the Cultural Industry Park, finding Internet Celebrities for in-depth cooperation was a necessary step!

In this era where everything is determined by traffic, without cultivating your own IP and having your own traffic, no matter how well-built the Cultural Industry Park is, it won't last long!

Of course, if it were just Zhang Mantong alone, the traffic she could attract and retain would be very limited.

Therefore, the resources he mentioned to Zhang Mantong just now were not hers alone!

The group would definitely have to sign more Internet Celebrities later to create a traffic matrix!

And as for how many resources Zhang Mantong could grab from it, that would depend on her own ability!

"Chen, Brother Chen, were you serious about everything you just said?"

After a long while, Zhang Mantong still couldn't believe it.

"Why does it feel a bit dreamlike?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qiu's fingers landed on her exquisite and enchanting face.

He gave it a slight pinch.

"Hiss, that hurts."

Zhang Mantong quickly grabbed Chen Qiu's hand, her eyes looking somewhat resentful.

She didn't expect Chen Qiu would actually pinch her hard!

"Are you more awake now?"

"Mmh…"

Zhang Mantong was still holding Chen Qiu's hand and asked curiously.

"Why did Brother Chen choose me?"

"There must be other Internet Celebrity bloggers in Gannan more suitable than me, right?"

Zhang Mantong didn't feel that she had anything particularly outstanding compared to other bloggers.

"Because those Internet Celebrity bloggers haven't had the chance to crash into me on the sidewalk yet."

Hearing Chen Qiu's teasing words, Zhang Mantong's pretty face flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But thinking about it, wasn't this a sign of fate?

She was just helping her roommate deliver something, but she ended up knocking down a president on the road, and then this president wanted to exhaust resources to make her famous…

This was simply the unfolding of an idol drama!

Thinking about how she was going to go from a fake Baimi to a real "Princess", Zhang Mantong felt an uncontrollable thrill!

After her full chest heaved a few times, she finally calmed down a little.

At this moment, Chen Qiu also sent a contract to her phone.

"This is the preliminary contract. You can take a look. If there's anything you can't accept, we can change it!"

Zhang Mantong took a rough look and didn't find any major issues.

She was a person who knew her own worth!

Of course, she was clear that the reason Chen Qiu chose her couldn't be because she had knocked him down…

And the value of her status as an Internet Celebrity, to him as the president of the Cultural Industry Group, wasn't anything rare.

Then, her greatest value to Chen Qiu was…

Her beautiful eyes turned slightly, but she knitted her willow-leaf eyebrows, putting on a confused expression.

"Brother Chen, there's one thing not noted on here!"

"What is it?"

Chen Qiu leaned over, puzzled, and the scent of citrus wafted into his nose.

"It doesn't state how I should thank Brother Chen…"

Zhang Mantong leaned close to his ear, her charming voice like a slender snake, slithering into his ear canal.

Chen Qiu turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful face with a clever smile and captivating eyes.

"How do you want to thank me?"

As soon as Chen Qiu finished speaking, he saw the corners of Zhang Mantong's lips curl up.

She grabbed Chen Qiu's hand and raised it to her lips.

"Of course… by biting!"

The next moment, she parted her red lips slightly, and her pearly white teeth pressed decisively onto Chen Qiu's finger.

Chen Qiu's eyes widened as a trace of pain spread.

He didn't expect this woman would actually bite him!

"Who told Brother Chen to pinch my face just now…"

Inarticulate words sounded. Just as Chen Qiu was about to pull his finger away, it was engulfed by warmth.

He looked down and saw her tongue tip wrapping around his finger.

Zhang Mantong's charming eyes were also looking at him with a hint of provocation.

"This vixen…"
