Chapter 445: Chapter 203: The Handsome Man Plan_4
"That’s about right,"
Su Huai spoke of mysticism as if it were nothing, not just leading her on but outright deceiving her to death.
"To be more precise, it’s a combination of Huaxia’s classical physiognomy and Meihua Yishu. The principle is actually quite simple—"
According to Mr. Shao Kangjie’s Royal World Scripture, penned during the Song dynasty, the core idea is to verify human affairs through the observation of natural timing. To me, your micro-expressions are the natural timing, your pulse and temperature are the evidence, and coupled with your straightforward and bold personality, it’s not hard to guess."
"Wow..."
"Wow~~~"
"Wow!"
Zhang Dayi was so overwhelmed she couldn’t even speak properly, just exclaiming "wow" repeatedly as her small hand trembled uncontrollably from excitement.
She didn’t understand, but she thought it was very impressive and cool.
"You call this simple? It’s unbelievably cool and awesome, okay?!!! You, you, you... You’re like a magician!"
Gou Huai waved his hands and chuckled modestly, "Don’t get too excited, this isn’t any sort of magic spell. You have to believe in science."
"Alright, alright, alright, I’ll believe anything you say now!"
With her adoring gaze, Mr. Tongzi chimed in: Xiaomei’s Favorability Rating has skyrocketed to 70+.
Though there was no lottery draw and it was just a pure momentary boost in Favorability, it meant that everything else would fall into place.
Xiaomei really bought into Gou Huai’s nonsense: "So you can really tell who’s better suited to be an internet celebrity, right?!"
Having led her on to this point, Su Huai began to reel it back in.
"That description isn’t very accurate."
He shook his head, his demeanor modest, rational, and clear-headed.
"To be precise, I can observe a person’s core personality, categorize them accordingly, and then, taking into account non-core factors like their family background, ambition, and aspirations, I make a comprehensive assessment of their potential and limit.
After that, I explore and nurture them based on external factors like the market and stylistic trends.
Can they become famous?
That’s not for me to say. They just have a better chance."
This cautious explanation made Zhang Dayi even more convinced.
"No wonder you’re confident about grooming a top BA... I’m truly looking forward to it now!"
"Then just wait and see,"
Su Huai smiled, subtly revealing the ace up his sleeve: "If we are fortunate enough to succeed, Sister Yi, would you consider joining us at Xingyu?"
As the conversation turned to such a serious subject, Zhang Dayi calmed down.
But her heart had already begun to lean infinitely towards Su Huai.
"I can’t give you a definite answer right now. My partnership with Mr. Feng is very pleasant, and the shares I hold are not figures I can easily give up. Do you understand that?"
"Of course."
Su Huai didn’t press further but quietly planted one last thorn in her heart.
"But if I may speak bluntly, your operation model and supply chain construction are too rough, Sister Yi. I truly don’t want to see you waste this precious prime time."
Zhang Dayi, like Li Ziqi, was a delayed genius who hadn’t reached her true limit.
Without her paving the way, Viya wouldn’t have reached such heights.
If she hadn’t been restrained by Ruhan and had a better mentor, the title of top online saleswoman wouldn’t have gone to Viya.
From 2015 to 2019, those who weren’t in e-commerce had no idea how amazing Zhang Dayi was, while those in the business frantically searched for the next her.
Unfortunately, she fell just before the golden era.
The damage from Prince Jiang’s incident was only part of the reason; the other half was that the notion of creating her own brand was too ahead of its time.
As Ruhan rushed to go public, Zhang Dayi was forced to hastily launch various styles that gradually hurt her fan base, without proper cost control and quality checks in place. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The personal IP of an internet celebrity will always be more important than extending their brand. Under Su Huai’s wing, he wouldn’t have let her make those two mistakes.
But for now...
Since she wasn’t one of his own yet, Gou Huai had no qualms about getting her to refer Jiang Fan.
"Sister Yi, our BA internet celebrity project needs to have another talk with Taobao Live. Are you familiar with them?"
"Leave it to me!"
She slapped her slender chest forcefully, even feeling honored to be able to help Su Huai.
And so, Gou Dongxi managed to get things done again without spending a cent...
In the past, it was always pretty girls using their charms on him, but now the tables had turned, and Huai enjoyed the thrill and sense of achievement.
What’s the big deal about impressing girls with money?
Me? With a poor appetite and not much money, I can only feast on the resources that beautiful women throw at me. Isn’t that something to be proud of for the bros?
When leaving, Su Huai saw the new girl casually paying the bill, so he stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked out emitting an aura that screamed he owed nothing to anybody...
********
PS1: The contract between L’Oréal and the beauty wristband never had an exclusivity clause; Li Jiaqi was always free to promote other similar products from different brands.
PS2: The big company disease of Ali was something I wrote about in the first book, it’s really off-putting. I’ve been a fan of Jack Ma for ten years, no flattery or slander, just telling it like it is...
PS3: To write this book, I diligently researched many internet celebrities, and trawling foreign websites for information has really drained me, so today’s lengthy Chapter deserves a vote.
