Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 33 Want to Form a Social Club

While winking at Song Ci, Lin Hao chuckled at Liu Shishi and said, "As for the title of goddess, it's because you are Song Ci's goddess!"

Someone secretly downloaded that photo of you from the school beauty pageant and keeps it on their computer, looking at it all the time.

"Yes, I even zoomed in on your photo and looked at it with a happy smile on my face, my expression was so dreamy."

Lu Yugang, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also chimed in, revealing the secrets of Song Dynasty poetry.

Liu Shishi was both surprised and delighted. It seemed that someone wasn't as indifferent to her as they usually appeared, and secretly liked her quite a bit. Song Yiyi, I've got you covered!
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the betrayal of Song Ci by several people, he simply expressed his appreciation. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Shishi and I were secretly photographed and the photos were posted on the school website?"

"Yes, the photos of you two are so beautiful and romantic, taken under the Boya Pagoda and by the Weiming Lake, a perfect match made in heaven! Tsk tsk, listen to how well people describe it, you should thank the classmate who took the photos."

Song Ci suddenly understood the actions of the classmates, "No wonder they were all looking at me and Shishi."

Lin Hao squinted his small eyes, patted Song Ci's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Right? Handsome men and beautiful women are always a topic of conversation, and they're bound to attract attention. Everyone wants to see which female bodhisattva has tamed the aloof Song Ci, the great male god."

The female students are going to be heartbroken. The Peking University girls are so disappointing; the most handsome guy in the history of the campus has been snatched up by a girl from the Beijing Dance Academy.

After hesitating for a moment, he shamelessly pleaded with Liu Shishi, "Goddess Shishi, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Don't call me that, just call me Shishi. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll definitely help if I can."

Liu Shishi was in a particularly good mood. She had been very happy since meeting Song Ci today, and now Lin Hao was calling her "goddess" again and again, making her heart flutter with joy.

Lin Hao, seemingly unfazed, shamelessly pleaded, "Besides the fourth brother, the three of us brothers are still single. Peking University has a tradition of holding social events at the beginning of the semester. Could you please ask our goddess Shishi to find a few girls from the Beijing Dance Academy to organize a social event for our dorm?"

"No problem, leave this little thing to me. Our girls from Beijing Dance Academy are very pretty, I'll arrange the social event." Liu Shishi confidently assured everyone.

Lin Hao was immediately overjoyed, waving his arms and legs excitedly, saying, "Oh, thank you, Goddess Shishi, from now on you're my older sister."

Lu Yugang and Tang Xiaochuan exchanged a glance and tacitly moved their feet to create some distance between themselves and Lin Hao.

Fearing that the students in the cafeteria might misunderstand and think they were in cahoots with Lin Hao, who was so loud and boisterous, they were speechless at Lin Hao's shamelessness.

Song Ci also covered her forehead, feeling helpless. Lin Pangzi had been calling Liu Shishi "goddess" and "sister" without any bottom line for the sake of a social event, which made her feel ashamed.

After lunch, Song Ci told the driver, Wang Shan, to drive to the school to take Liu Shishi home. The two said their goodbyes at the school gate, and then Song Ci returned to her dormitory.

"Did Goddess Shishi go back?" Lin Hao, who was lying on the bed reading a book, asked softly when Song Ci returned.

"Hmm!" Song Ci nodded. Lu Yugang and Tang Xiaochuan were taking a nap, and he didn't want to say much.

Song Ci turned on her computer, logged into the campus forum, and contacted the classmate who took the photos and posted them, asking him to delete the photos of her and Liu Shishi visiting Yan Garden.

He didn't want his photo to be constantly posted on the school website, becoming the subject of gossip among his classmates.

That classmate happened to be online, and seeing that the person in question was unhappy, he deleted the post without saying a word.

Song Ci breathed a sigh of relief. The post was deleted; she figured the buzz would die down in a few days. Otherwise, being pointed at and gossiped about by classmates on campus was really awkward. After dealing with the photo incident, Song Ci logged into her email to handle work. Several senior executives would report important company matters via email, and Song Ci would review them and reply promptly every day.

Two unread emails. One was from Zhang Yong, reporting on the progress of Toutiao's featured program, "Toutiao Star".

The company has poached Li Hong from CCTV's "Cross-Strait" program with a high salary to host "Headline Star". The first interviewee is tentatively Olympic champion Liu Xiang.

However, Liu Xiang, the sprinter, is currently very popular, and major media outlets across the country are vying for his first interview after returning home from winning the championship. Compared with other media, Toutiao.com has no advantage. If there is no progress within a week, the company will change the first interviewee.

After thinking it over, Song Ci replied via email that she agreed with Zhang Yong's opinion and asked him to handle it accordingly. She suggested that the first interviewee for "Toutiao Star" should not be limited to Liu Xiang.

The other email was from Wang Jing containing information about a film and television project.

When Song Ci opened the email, she was overjoyed to find it was about the "My Own Swordsman" project.

There was such a stroke of good luck as to having something fall from the sky. As a reborn person, he naturally knew how popular and profitable this TV series would become later.

Without the slightest hesitation, Song Ci directly approved the proposal:
Director Shang Jin is the first person in China to create a military-themed sitcom, and his highly regarded "My Own Swordsman" is bound to be a high-quality project.

The company can invest, and I agree to withhold 1000 million from my personal third-quarter royalties for the company to invest in the project.

Just as I was about to click send, I remembered several main characters from "My Own Swordsman". The company currently does not have any female artists, so we will not think too much about female roles for the time being. The director can decide on the actresses himself.

But the male lead Bai Zhantang can't be given to outsiders. Qiao Zhengyu's ancient costume look is still very photogenic. After "So Young" and "My Own Swordsman" are released, Qiao Zhengyu should be able to barely become a first-tier star.

The email then added a clause stating that a request could be made to Shang Jin that the role of Bai Zhantang, the male lead in "My Own Swordsman," should be played by Qiao Zhengyu, an artist from the company.

After finishing her work emails, Song Ci saw that it was almost time for her appointment, so she took the materials she had prepared and went to see her homeroom teacher, Qin Chaoyang.

This afternoon, he met with Qin Chaoyang to discuss the application process for policies supporting college student entrepreneurship.

Ever since Song Ci mentioned starting a business on the day of school registration, Qin Chaoyang has taken it very seriously.

After a preliminary conversation with Songci a few days ago, I learned that the recently launched and highly successful new portal website, Toutiao.com, was a product of Songci Company. I paid even more attention to it and made a special report to my superiors.

When the leaders of Peking University learned of this, they also paid close attention to it and wanted to make Toutiao.com a benchmark entrepreneurial example for Peking University students.

Therefore, Qin Chaoyang was asked to have a detailed conversation with Song Ci first, and to express that in addition to the support within the scope of national policies, the school would give its full support to any other reasonable needs Song Ci might have.

Song Ci arrived at the homeroom teacher's office in the teaching area, knocked on the door and went in, and saw Qin Chaoyang busy writing materials.

"Teacher Qin," Song Ci greeted.

Upon seeing Song Ci arrive, Qin Chaoyang stopped what he was doing, pointed to the chair next to his desk, and said with a refined and approachable smile, "Sit down, Song Ci. Let's have a good chat today."
