115: Xingyao Media's traffic has returned to normal.

"Why did Xingyao Media's traffic return to normal right after we jumped ship? Who on earth spread the rumors saying Xingyao Media was going to go bankrupt?"

In the crowd, someone began to complain.

"Exactly! What bad luck. I actually believed your nonsense and came here, but the benefits and treatment aren't nearly as good as I imagined!"

Once the complaining started, it simply wouldn't stop!

If three women make a drama, then forty women could perform an epic legendary masterpiece.

The main issue was that everyone's psychological gap was too large.

The HR here was fierce and had a bad attitude, causing these usually high-and-mighty internet celebrities to feel intense dissatisfaction.

Tao Tao and Qiao Qiaozi had spearheaded this move, so they bore a certain level of responsibility.

But how could they possibly admit it at a time like this?

"Everyone did this entirely of their own free will. You knew there was no traffic then. Why are you complaining now? Where was this energy before?"

"Exactly, did we force you to jump ship? Don't you have any self-awareness!"

The group of female internet celebrities began to bicker and chirp; their 'plastic sisterhood' was truly fragile enough to shatter at a touch.

Everyone knew deep down that they really couldn't blame others.

Because in the face of profit, many people are blinded by a single leaf.

Especially women—long hair, short sight.

It was only normal that they couldn't see the essence of the problem.

Many old-timers who benefited from TikTok's early dividends thought they were truly valuable because they could go viral by posting a few filtered videos or get a group of 'simp' followers just by starting a live stream.

But society is progressing, and people's aesthetics are also evolving.

Moreover, the current economy has reached a point where everyone has to tighten their belts and live sparingly.

Men have also started to love themselves more; the 'simp' culture is fading.

On May 20th (520), the best-selling item at milk tea shops is 'Fat Otaku Happy Water' (Coke).

People staring blankly at flower shop entrances and the continuously declining movie box office are all verifying the collapse of the 'simp economy'.

Men have all realized one truth: pleasing oneself is more important than pleasing women.

To put it bluntly, what do today's internet celebrities have besides a pretty face and body?

The conditions offered by Qins Media could be considered very objective; they didn't deliberately suppress prices.

If someone couldn't accept it, they could entirely choose to operate on their own.

Sitting in front of a camera every day waiting for a 'Big Brother' to favor them.

However, a Big Brother's money doesn't blow in with the wind. If you want a 'carnival' gift, how can you get it without giving something back?

If you act too aloof and high-and-mighty, how many Big Brothers will actually give you tips?

Beautiful women are no longer as scarce as they used to be.

There are plenty of women with decent figures and regular features.

With a bit of dressing up, anyone can take the 'beauty influencer' route.

Of course, some internet celebrities can easily earn over a hundred thousand a month, but have you seen the effort they put in behind the scenes?

Flying all over the country, tired to death!

After one 'session,' their bones feel like they're falling apart.

The Big Brothers have ugly manners. When they go out to play billiards, it's not enough for the ball to go in the hole; they want to shove the cue in the hole too. This is fucking ridiculous!

So, this is the fundamental reason why a crowd of internet celebrities wants to sign with a large company.

With an operations company behind them, whether it's taking advertisements, acting roles, or finally finding a wealthy husband, monetization becomes much easier!

Unfortunately, Tao Tao and the others ultimately made a bad move.

They abandoned Xingyao Media and chose Qins Media.

Tao Tao spoke a few stubborn words, and the other internet celebrities were helpless.

Everyone could only accept this disparity... some were happy, while others were sad.

On the other hand, after Xingyao Media's traffic returned to normal.

Everyone's likes and follower counts began to soar. Liu Xinyu's followers reached four million, Wei Wei Zi's reached five million, and Lobster's followers were nearly ten million!

A Coaster bus was filled with various types of beauties—mature types, young wives, sweet girls, and lively ones. Amidst laughter and conversation, they arrived at the Tan Palace estate.

Today they were coming to CEO Cao's home for a team-building event and to listen to CEO Cao's new instructions.

The security guard, Li Qiang, had already received notice that the owner of Villa No. 6 would have guests today and to make sure to let them through.

As soon as the Coaster reached the gate, the security captain Li Qiang ran over, gave a salute, and only let them through after confirming the list of visitors.

"The security measures here are very strict."

The female internet celebrities discussed amongst themselves, their eyes filled with awe.

Unlike Ye Wanqing and the other actors, they had never been to Tan Palace. They felt very unfamiliar with this kind of top-tier villa; it was like a place they could only visit in a dream.

"Wow, there are even swans over there!"

Lobster pointed at the leisurely white swans by the distant lakeshore and cried out in excitement.

"The landscaping here is so creative. As soon as I arrived, it felt as if every plant was welcoming me."

"I can't imagine how amazing it would be to live here in Shanghai, where land is worth its weight in gold!"

Chengdu Yang Yuhuan had a look of infatuation on her face. Her proud figure seemed so ordinary at this moment.

For the women who could enter this place, her only capital had become a laughingstock.

"It's right not to dare to imagine it. If you did, you'd be depressed for the rest of your life!"

Wei Wei Zi, sitting to the side, gave a somewhat disdainful reminder. She was wearing an OL uniform today and was incredibly beautiful.

"A person should still have dreams. What if I become super famous? Sooner or later, I'll be able to buy a house here."

Chengdu Yang Yuhuan curled her lip, completely unbothered by Wei Wei Zi's discouragement.

"Let's put it this way: if the first prize of the Grand Lotto is five million, you'd have to win it 240 times in a row... If your salary is 20,000, you'd have to save every penny without eating or drinking for five thousand years... Even the top stars in the entertainment industry aren't qualified to live here unless they own a company worth ten billion. Only then would they have the confidence to reside here."

Wei Wei Zi looked calm as she directly used scientific analysis to point out the level of difficulty.

"Holy crap! Then I'd better stop thinking about it."

Chengdu Yang Yuhuan patted her proud chest, let out a breath of lingering fear, swallowed some saliva, and took out her phone to start taking pictures.

It was true that one shouldn't think about it; thinking too much would probably lead to death by internal conflict.

It's best never to see things you can never have in this lifetime. Being a frog at the bottom of a well is actually quite nice.

However, Cao Lang's invitation had still truly opened their eyes.

Some things you are either born with or you'll never have them in your life.

But... if one could climb onto Cao Lang's ship, could they briefly become the lady of the house for a few days and get a taste of it?

Some people looked toward Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu had once spent a beautiful night with Cao Lang; this was already an open secret.

But no one felt this was immoral. Instead, they felt that Cao Lang was just so damn approachable.

If Liu Xinyu had a chance, why wouldn't I have a chance?

Where am I worse than Liu Xinyu?

Thinking of this, the internet celebrities were all rubbing their hands in anticipation, thinking to themselves: take a gamble and turn that bicycle into a motorcycle!
