The young waitress had clearly recognized Chen Jincheng, her face instantly lighting up with excitement.

"Hello!" Chen Jincheng greeted her with a smile.

It wasn’t surprising that he’d been recognized. After all, the restaurant was playing his song.

At the waitress’s gasp of surprise, everyone else in the restaurant turned to look.

Several other waiters and waitresses, their faces full of disbelief, immediately took a few steps forward, raising their phones to film Chen Jincheng.

The restaurant was playing Chen Jincheng’s song for a simple reason. Someone had come across it while scrolling through Tiao Yin earlier that day, and everyone agreed it was great.

The song was a huge hit today; many people had already heard it on Tiao Yin, so it was a great promotional hook. That’s why the manager had gone right ahead and spent three yuan to purchase the track on the Penguin Music platform.

On top of that, everyone had seen the music video. They were all captivated by the sweet duet between Chen Jincheng and Little Maru. Plus, Chen Jincheng was so handsome he left a deep impression, which is why he was recognized the moment he walked in.

They never expected him to show up at their restaurant today. It was a truly unexpected and pleasant surprise.

The few other patrons in the restaurant also looked over. Those who knew who Chen Jincheng was had already taken out their phones to start recording. After all, the chances of running into a major influencer like him weren’t high.

As for those who didn’t recognize Chen Jincheng, they were drawn to Yinyin and Ximeng by his side. Two incredibly beautiful women wearing matching French-style fairy dresses were a very eye-catching sight.

"Do you have any private rooms available?" Chen Jincheng asked the excited waitress in front of him.

"Yes, yes! Follow me!" The waitress nodded immediately and excitedly led the way. She quickly showed Chen Jincheng to a private room in the back, then hurriedly said, "We have menus here. You can order whenever you’re ready."

Chen Jincheng nodded, ordered a few dishes directly, and then looked at the waitress, who seemed to be hesitating, wanting to say something. He smiled and asked, "Would you like to take a picture together?"

"Yes, yes!" The waitress nodded eagerly.

"Come on, then!" Chen Jincheng said with a smile.

The waitress immediately took out her phone to take a photo with Chen Jincheng.

Seeing this, Yinyin and Ximeng prepared to stand up and join the photo. Since their boss had agreed to a picture, they felt they should be tactful and show support.

But the waitress looked at Chen Jincheng sheepishly. "Could it just be the two of us?"

"..." Yinyin.

"..." Ximeng.

The two girls’ expressions turned awkward. They instantly understood that their forwardness was unwelcome and they’d been snubbed. They sat back down, embarrassed.

This also made them realize something: their boss was apparently very popular with the ladies now.

After taking the picture with Chen Jincheng, the waitress exited the private room with a thrilled expression, clearly knowing not to overstay her welcome lest she become annoying.

After the waitress left, Chen Jincheng also took out his phone and started reviewing the dozen or so video clips he had just shot of Yinyin and Ximeng.

He was very satisfied with these shots capturing their close friendship. He sent the video files and the voice-over line from Wang Qiqi to Xiaoliao for editing, along with his specific instructions.

After he’d sent everything off, the food began to arrive. The restaurant’s cuisine was quite good.

After eating for a bit, Chen Jincheng said to Yinyin and Ximeng, who were sitting across from him, "I’m about to start my stream. Come sit next to me."

The two girls nodded and sat down on either side of Chen Jincheng, snuggling up close to him.

Ximeng even helped Chen Jincheng by taking out the streaming phone, setting it up, and starting the live broadcast.

The moment Chen Jincheng’s stream went live, fans who had signed up for notifications got the message and immediately clicked to join. The number of concurrent viewers in the stream began to climb rapidly.

Many of his die-hard fans joined right away. Seeing him flanked by two girls in matching French-style fairy dresses, their eyes lit up.

The two girls were already beautiful, but seeing them together in identical dresses was truly striking.

"Yinyin and Ximeng look like a pair of sister-like beauties today."

"Good thing Cheng has that ’weird illness’ and doesn’t mess with the girls right under his nose. Otherwise, Yinyin and Ximeng would be in danger. Double the pleasure, lol."

"Yeah, it’s a good thing Cheng doesn’t get involved with his own people."

"Wait, you guys actually believe that bullshit Cheng says? He’s the Ancestral Master!"

"To the guy above, I’d rather choose to believe it. If I believe it, then Yinyin and Ximeng are still innocent."

"..."

"Welcome, everyone." Chen Jincheng greeted the growing audience with a smile and started chatting with his fans.

After about half an hour, the number of viewers in the stream surpassed 100,000. He was hitting that milestone faster than before, which showed that yesterday’s stream had generated a lot of new popularity.

Just then, Chen Jincheng saw two Carnivals float across the screen—a gift from a long-time fan. After sending the gifts, the fan also sent a request to join the stream.

"Thanks for the two Carnivals, Brother Qing Shan. You’re too generous," Chen Jincheng said as he accepted the request to link up.

Once Cyan Mountain was connected, a young man’s voice came through. "Cheng, I’ve come to you for help! I’m taking a girl out tomorrow. How can I tell if there’s a chance with her, and whether I should pursue it?"

Chen Jincheng laughed when he heard this. With the experience he had accumulated in his past life, he could have rattled off a dozen ways to figure that out, but some of those things weren’t appropriate to say on a live stream.

So, he chose his words carefully. "Brother Qing Shan, it’s hard to give specific advice without being there to see the situation for myself. But there is one thing you can use to judge if there’s potential with a girl."
