I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!-Chapter 71 - Persisting in Being an Internet Celebrity_1

Your eyes are better, registering your marriage with my cousin.

You made the right choice.

You’ll definitely be happy for the rest of your life with my cousin.”

Her words made Chen Yuyan become joyful, and her fondness for this younger cousin grew.

Shen Dong spoke up, “Lele, I heard you stopped writing and started doing short videos.

Send me your Doule account.

Let’s see how your short videos are turning out.”

“Okay,” Zhang Lele said, fiddling with her phone.

“With the kind of videos you shoot, you still have the nerve to show them to your cousin.

Even the aunties in the community who post videos of them dancing in the square do better than yours,” Zhang Bo criticized.

“Don’t be so discouraging to Lele.

Actually, I think it’s better for her to go outside and shoot videos than to mope at home writing novels.

What she needs now is encouragement,” Qin Zhang said.

“Exactly, what I need is encouragement, not criticism.

Auntie understands me.

Auntie, I love you,”

At the end, Zhang Lele smacked a kiss on Qin Zhang’s face.

“You child…” Qin Zhang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This niece sometimes seemed unreliable, but she was still very lovable.

“Cousin, I’ve sent it to you.

Did you find it?” Zhang Lele asked.

“Got it.

It’s ‘Leqilai,’ right?” Shen Dong said.

“Mm-hmm,” Zhang Lele nodded.

Shen Dong opened Zhang Lele’s Doule account homepage and started browsing.

So far, Zhang Lele had posted fifty short videos, almost two a day.

He clicked on the latest one.

The play count for this video was less than a thousand, and the likes were a pitiful twenty.

Those twenty likes were probably all from friends she asked for.

Chen Yuyan watched with him.

After the video ended, Zhang Lele said, “Cousin, my video isn’t bad, right?

But Doule just won’t give me any traffic, which keeps my view count low.

They clearly want me to pay for traffic.”

“Not bad?

Your video is rubbish,” Shen Dong didn’t give Zhang Lele any face.

“Cousin, is it really that rubbish?” Zhang Lele’s face fell immediately.

In reality, she knew her videos weren’t good; she just didn’t want to admit it.

“Anyone could shoot a video like this.”

“Your performance is too exaggerated, and the person filming isn’t skilled either.

The video shakes so much it’s uncomfortable to watch.”

“With a video like this, it’s no wonder Doule isn’t giving you any traffic.

If I were the boss of Doule, I’d be tempted to ban your videos.”

Shen Dong bluntly pointed out the video’s shortcomings, essentially tearing it apart.

“Husband…” Chen Yuyan signaled to Shen Dong with her eyes, obviously suggesting he should be less direct.

“Xiaodong, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?

I think the video isn’t bad,” Shen Hong also gave Shen Dong a meaningful look.

“Brother-in-law, don’t speak up for her.

I think what Xiaodong is saying is right; the video is trash.”

“Lele, look, even your cousin is saying this.

Stop making a fuss and go find a job after the Mid-Autumn Festival,”

Zhang Bo took the opportunity to persuade his daughter to earnestly look for a job.

“Right, you should just go find a job.

Making such videos is a waste of time,” Shen Dong nodded in agreement.

He didn’t offer to train Zhang Lele but wanted to see if she still had the determination to continue making short videos.

“I’m not going anywhere.

I want to make short videos, I want to become an internet celebrity.

The videos I make now are trash, but once I summarize and learn from my experiences, I will definitely make good ones.”

“Nobody can succeed just like that, everyone must face setbacks.

I’ve only experienced a minor setback right now, and I believe I will definitely succeed,”

Zhang Lele’s face was full of stubborn determination.

Even though she hadn’t made any money, she felt fulfilled and meaningful thinking of ideas and making videos every day.

She really had no interest in doing anything else.

“Lele, this industry is even harder than others.

If you really want to continue, you have to have the right attitude.

Think about how to make videos that the audience will like, instead of blaming Doule for not giving you traffic.

And you can’t give up halfway, or else it’s just a waste of time,” Shen Dong said earnestly.

“They say a married man becomes more mature, and it seems to be true,”

“You’re only a year older than me but you speak as if you’re so much wiser,”

“Don’t worry.

I won’t give up making short videos halfway like I did with writing novels.

I really wasn’t cut out for writing novels, so I gave it up decisively.”

“Short videos are different, I feel like I can do it.

As long as I keep at it, I will definitely become a big internet star,”

Zhang Lele declared, swinging her little fists.

“You still want to continue?

Do you really want to drive your mom and me to our graves?” Zhang Bo trembled with anger.

“Lele, if you keep this up, your dad and I might really be angered to death by you,” Tao Hui said with a face ashen with anger.

Is being an internet celebrity such an easy meal?

Being honest and holding down a job is more reliable!

“Mom, Dad, why don’t you believe me?

I said I can do it, and I will make it happen,” Zhang Lele asserted stubbornly.

“You…” Zhang Bo was so angry he wanted to get up and grab a feather duster to strike someone.

“Uncle, don’t get worked up just yet, let me talk to Lele,” Shen Dong quickly calmed him down, then turned to Zhang Lele and said, “Lele, since you’ve decided to continue, listen to me.

Tomorrow, I’ll teach you how to make a good short video.”

Previously, he gave Wang Jingpeng a list of anchors—those who were set to become wildly popular—to initiate contract talks.

Before returning for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had already asked Wang Jingpeng about the progress of that matter.

Wang Jingpeng mentioned that of all the anchors on the list, only one female anchor clearly stated that she would not sign, while the others were interested in signing with the Dongyan Guild.

Shen Dong felt that the style of that female anchor’s videos was quite suitable for Zhang Lele.

Originally, Shen Dong was planning to contact her personally after the Mid-Autumn Festival to make a pitch.

After all, a wildly popular anchor could make an obvious contribution to the company.

Now, he no longer wanted to reach out.

Instead, he wanted Zhang Lele to make videos in that style.

In simple terms, he meant for Zhang Lele to replace that female anchor.

He believed that under his guidance, Zhang Lele would definitely become popular.

“Cousin, are you saying you’ll teach me how to make short videos?” Zhang Lele was stunned, looking at Shen Dong somewhat confused.

“Yes,” Shen Dong smiled, “Let me tell you, I am a professional.

I’ve established a company in Hai City and formed an anchor guild.”

“What, you started a company and formed an anchor guild!” Zhang Lele’s eyes widened in surprise.

Did that mean she had unwittingly ended up in the same field as her cousin?
