85: Internet celebrity interviewer: Cao Lang

The Qin Group headquarters building soared into the clouds. The building's design was beautiful and its construction cost was so high that it ranked among the top in the world.

At the top of the building.

In the general manager's office, Qin Cheng narrowed his eyes while his female secretary was performing her daily routine. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a message sent by a subordinate on his computer.

[President Qin, Xingyao Media is recruiting female Internet Celebrities on a large scale. Should we think of a way to sabotage it?]

Qin Cheng sneered. In his view, this was merely a desperate move by Xingyao Media to survive by cutting off its own limbs.

All of Xingyao Media's film projects had been shelved; the only thing they could continue with was filming short dramas.

And the short drama industry was just scraps that capital moguls looked down upon. Only the "weak" would cultivate the short drama industry deeply.

It seemed this "Cao Lang" was nothing more than this.

Thinking of this, Qin Cheng's interest quickly waned. Recently, he had taken a liking to a campus belle from a dance academy, so Ye Wanqing's schedule could be pushed back a bit.

He would let Xingyao Media bounce around for a few more days; signing a few amateur Internet Celebrities posed no threat at all to the Qin Group!

The female secretary was charming and seductive, kneeling under the desk. Qin Cheng shuddered a few times, marking the end of today's work.

Looking down at the bustling city outside where all living beings were busy, Qin Cheng felt a sense of confidence from deep within his heart, as if he controlled the entire situation.

In a few years, when the old man abdicated and he took over the entire Qin Group, he would surely climb to the peak of life's power.

At that time, let alone a mere Ye Wanqing, even those movie queens with husbands or top-tier female stars, he could easily lay his hands on them.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xingyao Media Headquarters.

Interview Hall.

Beauties were lined up, each with fair skin, beautiful faces, and long legs, comparable to Diao Chan herself. At this moment, they were holding invitation letters, sitting on stools prepared by the staff, waiting for the interviewer's summons.

This interview was invitation-only. Only those holding the special gold invitation letters from Xingyao Media could enter the final interview.

After a while, a beauty walked out from the hall.

Jiang Xiaofan, a TikTok blogger known for her "thin branches bearing heavy fruit" style, whose video style mainly focused on showing off her figure.

She walked out with a smile on her face.

Even for the interview, she was wearing yoga pants and a tight, low-cut top, confidently and boldly displaying her figure.

"Xiaofan, how was it? Did you pass the interview?"

"I passed! The interviewer just asked me a few small questions about life; he was very approachable! When they saw my follower count exceeded a million, they admitted me directly!"

"How is the salary and benefits?"

"Just as they said before I came: a base salary of fifty thousand, a fifty-fifty split on gifts, plus the five insurances and one housing fund."

"Wow, I'm so envious of you. I hope I can pass the interview too!"

"Let me tell you, the interviewer is so handsome! They say he's the real boss of Xingyao Media."

Jiang Xiaofan whispered to her best friend, Buchi Huolongguo.

Her best friend was also a minor Internet Celebrity, and both their accounts were built on suggestive content traffic.

The other female Internet Celebrities also leaned in, afraid of missing any key information.

"It seems the interview pass rate is very high. So far, no one has failed."

"Yeah, I've already had a professional lawyer look at the contract. It's the real deal, fair to all. There are no hidden predatory clauses."

Liu Xinyu had also received an invitation.

She was wearing a JK uniform with white silk stockings, her alluring long legs fully revealed. Among so many Internet Celebrities, she was considered one of the younger ones.

However, she was very nervous now because she was next!

Listening to Jiang Xiaofan's relaxed and happy words, Liu Xinyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this interviewer was quite approachable.

"Next interviewee, Liu Xinyu."

Following the call, Liu Xinyu took a deep breath, tugged at her JK plaid skirt, adjusted her mindset, and walked into the conference room with her charming long legs, pushing open the door.

A table was placed right in the middle of the conference room. A row of interviewers sat upright, but Liu Xinyu was deeply attracted to the handsome man in the very center at first sight.

Star-like brows and sword-like eyes, a face as fair as jade, carefree and unrestrained—he was extremely handsome!

That charming temperament, even just leaning lazily back in his chair, made it impossible to look away.

Moreover, his expression was completely out of place with the serious, straight-backed interviewers around him. The only one who could compare was the beautiful older sister next to him, who was looking down at documents.

No matter how silly Liu Xinyu was, she could tell that this interviewer was the big boss!

Who else but the big boss could be so casual?

Wait!

Why did this interviewer look so familiar? It seemed she had seen him somewhere before?

However, Liu Xinyu didn't dare to look too much. She lowered her head shyly, stood in the middle of the hall, and began to recite the lines she had carefully prepared.

"Good afternoon, interviewers. My name is Liu Xinyu. I am 170cm tall and currently a part-time car model. I am very happy to receive an invitation from your company. I am hardworking, studious, and have an outgoing personality. I can get along harmoniously with colleagues..."

Good grief, a standard template interview combo came out. Liu Xinyu closed her eyes and recited it all in one breath.

Cao Lang had a smile on his face as he patiently listened to Liu Xinyu finish her introduction.

He had once hired four female gaming companions, and Liu Xinyu was one of them. After they parted back then, although they had exchanged contact information, they had never contacted each other. He didn't expect to meet again in this way.

Cao Lang usually didn't ask questions; he mainly listened and was responsible for the final decision. Questioning Jiang Xiaofan was purely on a whim. This time, the first question was still asked by the Live Streaming Director:

"What is your perception and understanding of the profession of an Internet Celebrity?"

"If fans discover some past dirt on you and start to unfollow and attack you en masse, would you choose to apologize publicly to rebuild your image, or use new works to divert attention? Specifically, what do you plan to do?"

"If one of your works goes viral but the content is controversial—it might make you soar to the sky, or it might make you fall to the bottom—would you choose to keep it or delete it?"

The deadly triple-question combo immediately left Liu Xinyu dazed.

Didn't that girl Jiang Xiaofan just say the interviewer was particularly approachable?

Why was it all hell-level difficulty when it came to her?

Liu Xinyu was extremely nervous and answered stutteringly, in a complete mess. It could be said there was no logic to speak of.

After finishing her answers, a look of despair appeared on Liu Xinyu's face. She wouldn't be the first one to be eliminated, would she?!

That would be too embarrassing.

Just then, the man sitting in the center spoke up.

"You play the healer well. Let's play together when you're free."

Hearing this, Liu Xinyu suddenly raised her head to look at Cao Lang. Some time ago, when she was working part-time as a gaming companion, she had met a super-rich man, and she was playing a healer at that time!

After remembering, before she could even marvel at how Boss Cao had become so handsome, a sudden surge of small emotion welled up in her heart.

Cao Lang was helping her out of her predicament.

Once these words were spoken, Liu Xinyu naturally passed the interview.

Li Na didn't dare to voice any opinion from the side. Who would dare to go against Cao Lang's attitude?

Most of the Internet Celebrities attracted by Xingyao Media's announcement this time were beauty bloggers or those who made a living by performing suggestive dances.

Their own educational level was not high, their eloquence was poor, and they had no professional skills.

But they couldn't help the fact that they had some looks, which could attract male traffic.

However, what Cao Lang wanted was high aesthetic value. He would build up fame in the early stages and could raise the threshold later.

He discovered that his system, when giving out benefits in the company's name, could also satisfy the double cashback effect!! Therefore, the more female Internet Celebrities in the company, the better. He wanted to create a true national gathering place for beauties!
