The night sky was like a vast bolt of black silk unfurling from the horizon. The stars were brilliant diamonds embedded within it, twinkling with a mysterious and captivating light.

Through the tightly drawn curtains, the light from within didn’t just cast a glow; it also led the mind to wander.

The starlight faded as the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Golden light spilled across the land, heralding the arrival of a new day.

When Chen Jincheng woke up, he felt full of vigor, but his mouth was also dry and parched, which was extremely uncomfortable.

He knew it was because the food he ate yesterday had been too potent.

The fiery aftereffects were kicking in.

This made him subconsciously look to his side, but Yinyin, his ’fire extinguisher’, wasn’t there.

A pleasant aroma wafted in from outside; she was clearly in the kitchen.

Brimming with that raging fire, he quickly got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw the girl busy at work.

She had already changed into a mature, hip-hugging kitchen outfit, and the curves of her silhouette from behind were simply perfect.

He walked over, but when he saw the steaming dishes on the table, his cheek started to twitch.

It was the leftovers from yesterday’s potent dishes.

’Damn it, the side effects are already hitting me first thing in the morning, and she’s up heating this stuff up? Is she trying to kill me with potency?’

...

The girl took out her phone and started scrolling through Tiao Yin videos. Before long, she swiped to Jiang Xiaobai’s pajama transformation video, the one in the garage where she gets into a car.

After brewing overnight, and with the added boost from Second-Life Star’s recent popularity, her video had already broken a million likes, achieving the desired effect.

When Yinyin saw the video, she deliberately said aloud, "Sigh, Jiang Xiaobai is so lucky. Someone filmed a video for her as soon as she got back, and it has so many likes. I’m so jealous. I worked so hard on that role-play session, I wonder if there’s any reward for me!"

After speaking, her gaze was fixed entirely on Chen Jincheng, her watery eyes seeming to say, ’You need to treat everyone equally and not favor one over the other.’

How could Chen Jincheng not understand what the girl meant? He said, a little exasperated, "I already prepared a tap dance for you. I’ll teach it to you after we eat."

The girl’s face finally blossomed into a smile. "Thank you, Boss!"

After getting a bite to eat, Chen Jincheng said to the girl, "Alright, time to teach you the tap dance. Then we’ll film the video!"

The tap dance was a hugely popular dance concept from that other world. After it became a trending topic, many female influencers scrambled to imitate it. The most popular video reached 1.5 million likes, and there were quite a few others with hundreds of thousands of likes.

This tap dance was a very rhythmic dance, and the background music for it was already in the music library he had put together. He would just have to add it in later.

Moreover, on Tiao Yin, this dance was one of the rare ones that didn’t rely on being lewd to go viral. Instead, it required the dancer to display overt confidence. The more confident the dancing and the more infectious the smile, the more popular the video would become.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the girl dancing had to be beautiful. If she wasn’t, then no amount of confidence or infectious smiles could resonate with the audience. After all, it’s a world where looks are everything.

The other requirements were long legs and a solid dance foundation.

A good dance foundation was necessary to achieve the right rhythm, and long legs were important because tap dancing is all about the legs—the longer the legs, the better the effect.

As it happened, Yinyin possessed all of these qualities. Moreover, compared to the original version from the other world, she had two advantages:

One advantage was her 5 million followers. She was already known as a dancer, putting her leagues above the blogger from his previous life who had the most-liked video.

The other advantage was her "Big Pendulum."

When performing this tap dance, the body moves a lot. You can compare it to the motion of a woman jumping rope.

With such movements, one could just imagine the impact her "Big Pendulum" would create. The allure, naturally, went without saying.

Therefore, the girl had a huge advantage in performing this dance. If she was the first to release a video of it, its popularity should surpass the 1.5 million-like record from the other world.

"I’ll go change into my dance clothes," the girl said immediately upon hearing he was about to teach her the dance.

"Remember, go braless," Chen Jincheng added teasingly.

’The tap dance itself would already make her ’Big Pendulum’ a huge asset,’ he thought. ’What would it look like if she went braless?’

He found himself inexplicably looking forward to it.

"Huh??" Yinyin’s face flushed with embarrassment when she heard him.

’I wonder what he’s planning to do now.’

But she was very obedient. She simply nodded meekly, and a moment later, joined him in the living room.

In the living room, Chen Jincheng found the background music for the dance and said to the girl, "I’m going to demonstrate the tap dance for you once. Watch carefully and memorize it. And remember one thing: you have to be confident when you do this dance."

Yinyin nodded.

When she saw her boss start to dance, her expression turned serious.

But as soon as she saw the first step, her mouth fell slightly agape. She instantly understood why her boss had told her to go braless.

’This dance might not be as shameless as "Big Pendulum," but with every jump...’

’The boss is just too much...’

However, despite her internal complaints, she diligently memorized the steps. In fact, thinking about her boss’s mischievous intentions, she put even more effort into her performance for him.

’If he wants to see it, I’ll show him my very best.’

’Wouldn’t it be great if I could captivate him?’

...

Before long, Yinyin had mastered the tap dance, and they began the official filming.

Chen Jincheng took out his phone, played the background music, and started recording.

Yinyin had a strong sense of rhythm. Following the beat of the music, she quickly began the tap dance steps. Her solid dance skills and strong rhythm allowed the advantage of her "Big Pendulum" to be displayed even more effectively.

With every step, it looked as if her "Big Pendulum" was about to break free, as if the dance outfit couldn’t contain it.

It was quite a thrilling sight.

Thanks to her solid dance foundation, the girl nailed the video in just one take.

Chen Jincheng was very satisfied after watching the video. He even looked at the girl with a gaze full of admiration and said, "Yinyin, I’m truly impressed by you."

Hearing his praise, the girl said proudly, "Well, I was professionally trained as a dancer. A dance like this is too easy."

But Chen Jincheng replied playfully, "My legs are still weak, yet you can dance with so much energy and rhythm!"

"..." Yinyin was clearly stunned for a moment. After realizing what he meant, she couldn’t help but huff softly at him.

’The boss is great in every way, except he’s always so improper.’

Chen Jincheng sent the video to the girl for her to upload and then went into the bathroom to wash up.

Inside, the towels, toothbrushes, and rinsing cups were all matching couple’s sets.

This made him smile.

When he came out, the girl had already taken a fresh change of clothes for him from the closet. They were all brand new, bought just for him, and took up a section of the wardrobe.

If an outsider were to see the room, they would assume a couple lived here. Who would imagine that the girl was actually single?

"You get some rest. I’m heading to the office!" Chen Jincheng said his goodbyes to the girl after getting dressed. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The girl came forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said coquettishly, "Boss, give me a kiss before you go."

Chen Jincheng smiled and gave the girl a peck on the lips. He had no reason to refuse her request for a farewell kiss.

He left the apartment, went downstairs, and got into his Lamborghini, driving straight to the company. He still had to film the video for the story-based account today.

When he arrived at the company, he saw Sister Hong giving instructions to Lao Chen.

Seeing him arrive, Sister Hong walked over and teased, "I saw Yinyin’s tap dance video. Based on the data from the last 30 minutes, it’s going to be another viral hit. I just had Lao Chen arrange for the company’s girls to do a follow-up shoot for Xiaobai’s pajama-transformation-in-the-garage concept, and now you come up with another one. You’re just full of inspiration."

"Isn’t that a good thing? At least the girls at the company have two more videos they can shoot," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.

In the beginning, whether it was the chest-shaking dance, the window-wiping dance, or the transformation videos, he personally came up with the concepts and led the company’s girls in group shoots.

Now that the company had grown, there were more behind-the-scenes staff, including several videographers in the cinematography department. So, he no longer had to personally participate in these group shoots.

The concepts he created for the girls could be mass-produced. As soon as a video was uploaded, Sister Hong would know, since the company monitored all the girls’ accounts.

Then she would immediately arrange for the other girls in the company to film their own versions.

Sister Hong teased again, "Boss, I thought you left Xiaobai’s place so early yesterday because you’d turned over a new leaf. Turns out you just had other plans—rushing off to your next ’appointment’."

"Sister Hong, is it really okay to slander your own boss like that?" Chen Jincheng immediately feigned his displeasure.

"Boss, your body is your capital," Sister Hong reminded him tactfully.

She knew that things between her boss and the girls were inevitable. After all, with a boss this talented—who could not only make them famous but also casually film a video for them that was guaranteed to get over a million likes—he didn’t even have to lift a finger. The girls would be fighting to throw themselves at him.

What’s more, the boss was devilishly handsome and single—that was the fatal combination!

’Those few ’Miss Chengs’ probably all have their own little schemes, wondering if they have a chance to secure their position.’

’In fact, it’s probably not just them; the other girls at the company likely harbor the same thoughts.’

’So, she could only hope the boss would take care of his health and not... you know... die an early death.’

"..." Chen Jincheng naturally knew what Sister Hong meant. After all, no one in the company knew his situation better than she did. So, he quickly changed the subject. "Sister Hong, are the preparations for the story-based account shoot ready?"

"Yes, everything is ready. Lin Leqing has been waiting since this morning," Sister Hong nodded.

"Then tell her to head over for the shoot," Chen Jincheng said.

Sister Hong nodded and immediately sent a message to Lin Leqing.

In the reception room, Lin Leqing had been waiting with her cousin. When she received the message from Sister Hong, she shot to her feet and said excitedly, "Cousin, Sister Hong just told me to go over for the shoot!"

At her words, Li Muchen also stood up, curious.

She was now very curious about this story-based account shoot, but it was only curiosity. After all, she still had to go to her own film set. Although it was just a small role as a maid, she believed she would eventually make her breakthrough.

Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang. Seeing the number, she answered immediately. "Hello, Director Lin!"

The call was from the casting director of her film crew.

She answered with a warm, enthusiastic smile, but in the next moment, the smile on her face slowly froze.
