"Lin Yiyi, I'm telling you, Cao Lang is your brother's enemy! He's a playboy. If you dare get together with him, I won't have you as a sister!"

Lin Zhengtian's face was deadly serious. One could say he had never been this serious before!

The feud had already been established. If they became in-laws, where would he put his face?

As a doting brother fanatic, Lin Zhengtian felt that no man in this world was worthy of his sister!

Just thinking about his pure, jade-like sister being defiled by a filthy man made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Perhaps this was a kind of morbid psychology!

But Lin Zhengtian would never think there was anything wrong with himself; he was an extremely domineering man by nature.

In the future, if she had physical needs, he could allow his sister to keep a few young chef-boys to play with.

But if she actually got married, that would change the nature of things completely!

He would feel like his sister had become someone else's.

This made him very upset!

Anyway, rich people didn't have to live by the templates of ordinary life.

If you wanted a child, you didn't even have to get pregnant yourself; you could even use a surrogate.

This was the privilege of the wealthy; they could even disregard the law! Utterly arrogant!

Lin Yiyi pouted, feeling a bit wronged. She was only joking, was it really necessary to be so serious?

"I know, I know. You're my brother; I'll definitely stand on your side!"

"In the future, when I look for a Boyfriend, I definitely won't choose Cao Lang!"

"Are you relieved now?"

Only after hearing this did Lin Zhengtian nod in relief.

His sister's thoughts were too dangerous; they had to be stopped in time!

However, while Lin Yiyi verbally agreed with her brother, different thoughts were taking root in her heart.

She secretly opened her phone and giggled foolishly while watching the video she had filmed with Cao Lang.

This little lolita's attention had been successfully captured by Cao Lang.

Seeing his sister like this, Lin Zhengtian sighed inwardly. He really had been too strict, to the point where his sister was already developing unhealthy ideas.

"Yiyi, don't you like dancing? Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to some new friends, all of them outstanding trainees from the entertainment industry."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Yiyi responded absentmindedly, but she wasn't really interested in pretty young idols... Meanwhile, Tao Tao and her group quickly arrived at the headquarters building of Qins Media.

The Qins Media headquarters tower stood in the most bustling commercial district of Shanghai. The entire skyscraper belonged exclusively to the Qin Group. Just the crystal chandelier in the lobby alone was worth tens of millions.

One could say half the entertainment industry was gathered here!

The group of Internet celebrities walked into the lobby on their high heels, their eyes wide with awe.

"Oh my god, this is way too luxurious..." Qiao Qiaozi exclaimed softly, afraid that speaking too loudly would get them kicked out by security.

This was much more impressive than the Xingyao Media headquarters!

It seemed switching companies this time was a wise choice!

Just as they entered the elevator, they overheard someone chatting: "I heard they're filming 'Sword of Fate' here today, and Xiao Zhan came in person!"

Tao Tao instantly got excited. Xiao Zhan was her male idol! She'd been following him since his debut!

As the elevator doors opened, they happened to see Xiao Zhan walk out of a lounge wearing ancient costume attire. Tao Tao's eyes lit up, extremely excited.

"Brother Xiao Zhan, I'm your fan! Can I get your autograph?"

Xiao Zhan didn't even glance at her. His Assistant said coldly, "Sorry, Teacher Xiao is very busy. No time."

Tao Tao's face instantly froze. The sunny, handsome, fan-friendly Xiao Zhan she always saw in short videos didn't even give her a proper look now.

Qiao Qiaozi also wanted to step forward, but was directly stopped by a Staff Member: "This is a work area. No unauthorized personnel allowed."

Over forty female Internet celebrities stood in the corridor, the atmosphere awkward to the extreme.

"Let's go, let's go, to the interview..." Tao Tao forced herself to stay calm. Once they were hired, they'd be Xiao Zhan's colleagues. There would be plenty of opportunities then.

The interview was held on the 38th floor. They waited a full two and a half hours before it was their turn. It was a group interview.

The Interviewer was a middle-aged woman with glasses, her expression as serious as if you owed her eight million.

"What were your view counts like at Xingyao Media?"

"I... I usually got tens of thousands of views..." Tao Tao answered, lacking confidence.

"Tens of thousands?" The female Interviewer pushed her glasses. "Any random Internet Celebrity here gets millions of views. Your numbers..."

Qiao Qiaozi quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Our previous company was being throttled by the platform! Under normal circumstances, our data was really good!"

"Throttled? That means your company had problems." The Interviewer sneered. "Qins Media doesn't keep idle people. You must complete 50,000 yuan in monthly streaming revenue. Fail to meet it, and your performance pay is directly docked."

Tao Tao's heart sank. Xingyao Media had never required performance targets... The interview results came out quickly: Base salary 20,000, performance pay 30,000. Fail to meet the target, lose the performance pay. Exceed it, get a bonus.

"This... it's so much worse than Xingyao Media..." someone whispered.

"Don't think about that," Tao Tao gritted her teeth. "They have traffic here. As long as we can make money! No matter how good Xingyao Media's benefits were, what's the use without traffic?"

Things had already come to this; they could only sign the contract first.

Right after signing the contract, Tao Tao habitually opened TikTok to check the trending charts.

What she saw nearly made her drop her phone!

#Cao Lang of Xingyao Media Building an Entertainment Empire# had directly shot to the top of the hot search list!

Clicking in, she saw their previously filmed videos had exploded in view counts. The comment sections were full of praise for Xingyao Media!

"Holy shit! What's going on?!" Qiao Qiaozi also noticed, her voice cracking with excitement.

"My dance video has 500,000 likes now!"

Just then, an HR Representative walked over, looking displeased: "A clause you just agreed to in the contract states you must delete all video content related to your previous company. Execute this immediately!"

"What?!" Tao Tao's eyes widened. "Why delete them? Those videos are trending right now!"

"It's company policy. If you don't delete them, we'll dock your performance pay—5,000 per video." The HR person said expressionlessly, as if commenting on the nice weather.

The over forty female Internet celebrities looked at each other, their expressions turning ugly.

They had just been comforting themselves that they'd come to the right place, only to realize in the blink of an eye... they seemed to have boarded a pirate ship.

"You were the ones who actively messaged us to come. Is this your attitude now?"

Someone started to protest.

"You only have two choices: resign, or get fined."

The HR person looked indifferent. Internet celebrities were just the lowest tier in their company.

After all, she dealt with real celebrities every day.

The group of Internet celebrities instantly deflated like punctured balloons. They could only endure the heartache and delete all the viral videos they had filmed with Cao Lang...
