Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 329 - 203: Heavens! They’ve All Really Come to Coastal City

"10 million for a one-year contract. I guarantee the next seven days will be just as explosive as today!" Chen Jincheng had actually long anticipated that Radiant Square would approach Zhu Ling about setting up a stall there. After all, once the Little Sweet Heat Card took effect, a huge number of people would flock to Coastal City.

These people were all coming for Zhu Ling.

So, at this moment, wherever Zhu Ling was, that’s where those people would swarm.

Right now, Zhu Ling was a walking human magnet for traffic.

In seven days, it was more than enough time to leverage Zhu Ling to establish the square’s unshakeable status as a must-visit location.

Even after the seven days were up, Zhu Ling would be completely famous, and many people would still come to see her and check in on a daily basis.

So, 10 million a year wasn’t expensive at all.

"Got it." Lin Hao naturally knew the price wasn’t high, so he immediately reported back to Lin Jian, relaying Second-Life Star’s demands: "They want 10 million. The price is completely worth it. It’s guaranteed to be explosive for the next seven days."

"Give them the 10 million. We need to sign the contract immediately." Lin Jian agreed without a second thought. He had no doubts about his son’s words now. If they could maintain today’s level of hype for seven days, Radiant Square would truly blow up.

Besides, they had no choice. If they didn’t spend the 10 million to sign her, the Street Vendor Girl might be signed by someone else. Then all that foot traffic would go to their competitor instead.

While Lin Jian was arranging the contract signing, the management of Radiant Square was already taking swift action.

To create a vendor area, you needed enough people to actually set up stalls.

Their method was also simple: they went directly to the two nearby Night Market Streets. As soon as evening fell, these streets were filled with vendors.

Now they were trying to poach these people. If they succeeded, they might be able to pull over the entire crowd from the Night Market Streets.

Their pitch was simple: one month of free rent, plus a daily subsidy of 200 yuan. Almost every vendor they approached agreed to move. After all, there was no rent, and they would get an extra 200 yuan for free every day.

Crucially, what the square’s representatives described was too enticing—that huge crowds would be going there, even bigger than the ones at the Night Market Street.

So, many were willing to give it a try.

Back at Second-Life Star, Chen Jincheng soon received a reply from Lin Hao. "Lao Cheng, Radiant Square agreed. 10 million a year, but they want to sign immediately."

"Got it!" Chen Jincheng replied with a natural smile.

’Everything was going according to his plan.’

After hanging up, he called Sister Hong and asked her to come to his office.

After being stunned by Zhu Ling’s interview video last night, Sister Hong had been monitoring it since early this morning.

She was truly astonished.

Previously, Zhang Ao’ai’s Booty Dance had made her feel that a record had been set that could never be surpassed. Who would have thought the boss would come up with another campaign no less impressive? In the end, this girl, Zhu Ling, would probably gain over ten million fans from a single campaign, just like Zhang Ao’ai.

At this point, she hadn’t realized the full implications, her focus still fixed on metrics like likes. Even when she saw people commenting that they were buying tickets to Coastal City, she didn’t take it seriously.

Perhaps no one would have taken it seriously. After all, anyone can run their mouth online.

After getting the call from Chen Jincheng, she immediately headed to his office. The moment she saw him, she couldn’t help but praise him again. "Boss, I have to say, I’m impressed all over again. You’ve crafted another incredible campaign. The hype is terrifying."

Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "The effects of this campaign aren’t limited to just online hype. Besides, the hype hasn’t even peaked yet."

"Hasn’t peaked yet?" Sister Hong was surprised. Based on normal experience, after brewing overnight, a video’s popularity should have peaked by the second day. After that, it would slowly decline, and how long it could be maintained depended entirely on promotion tactics.

’But this campaign has already reached such an intense level of hype, and the boss is still saying it hasn’t peaked?’

Chen Jincheng nodded with a smile. "Mm, not yet. Sister Hong, I need you to prepare a contract. Radiant Square wants to sign Zhu Ling for 10 million a year to have her set up her stall there. First, have Zhu Ling come to the company and sign an internal contract with us. After that, I’ll take her to Radiant Square to sign their contract."

"10 million?" Sister Hong couldn’t help her surprise. "Radiant Square is that generous?"

Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "What else would you expect? Did you really think all those people in the comments saying they were coming to Coastal City were joking?"

Sister Hong was dumbfounded. "So those people saying they were coming to Coastal City... were all telling the truth? Oh my god..."

Chen Jincheng chuckled. "I bet Radiant Square is already setting up a vendor area. It should be ready by this evening. If all goes to plan, we should see a truly shocking scene tonight. Sister Hong, maybe you can go to Radiant Square this evening to experience it for yourself."

He couldn’t help but think of the spectacular sight of the Zibo barbecue night market in his previous world.

That place had become a sea of people almost overnight.

But the Little Sweet Heat Card’s popularity had surpassed even the Zibo barbecue craze. The scene tonight was bound to be even more stunning.
