Chapter 670: Chapter 287: Entrepreneurial Role Model
Su Huai hadn’t really done anything to Yan Mengqing, he had merely washed his feet.
But she always wanted to do something for Su Huai.
"Is the pressure okay?"
While massaging his feet, she quietly slid her fingers up, kneading Su Huai’s calves.
"Do you want to take a bath?"
After pouring the water, she softly inquired with concern.
"Do you need me to scrub your back?"
While bathing, she blocked the doorway and took on the new task.
"Huaihuai Master, you’re so strong..."
During the back scrub, she was utterly infatuated, her hands fluttering wildly.
Because her voice was so syrupy, Su Huai couldn’t make out whether she called him "Huaihuai" or "Bad Bad."
But either term proved her eagerness.
Indeed, Senior Sister Yan was different, so aggressive~
In both his past and present life, it was the first time Su Huai was so doted upon, especially by a great beauty.
Based solely on Beauty and figure, Yan Mengqing ranked near the bottom of the 2500 list, relying solely on youthful bumpiness to score points. However, once compared to society at large, she was definitely the goddess of many.
So there was no need to ask if Gou Huai enjoyed it, but rather how much he enjoyed it.
The answer was... he was puffing up quite a bit.
For some men, a goddess is someone to revere, but for others at the top, she is a plaything - a joy those without experience could never understand.
Now, Su Huai was reveling in all of this.
However, having a swollen ego didn’t mean he had lost his senses; the dog man had long realized something: the less he satisfied her, the quicker Senior Sister Yan’s Favorability Rating climbed.
Thus, Gou Huai settled into the suite, giving her chances to take advantage and push their relationship forward, yet pushing her away at crucial moments.
Whenever she became too presumptuous, he wouldn’t hesitate to swing a hard smack, leaving her backside red.
The next morning when he woke up, nothing had changed, yet Yan Mengqing’s Favorability Rating effortlessly surged to 97 points.
Su Huai meticulously washed up, changed into the hotel’s neatly pressed clothes, and left for work.
When Yan Mengqing woke up and saw the empty room, she wasn’t disappointed. Instead, she snuggled into the sheets and giggled to herself, feeling like she’d stolen a chicken.
Look, how different the two parties viewed the same matter.
Su Huai considered her a promising tool, so he offered her only limited special treatment and a bit of patience, aiming to firmly secure a Favorability Rating over 90 with the smallest cost.
Yan Mengqing, meanwhile, thought Su Huai’s heart had opened its doors to her; non-rejection meant no dislike, and no dislike meant like - he was just too full of male pride to say it outright.
She didn’t see anything wrong with their current way of interacting; in fact, she was quite smug about it.
Because Gu Jiuyue looked down on the world from on high, Yan Mengqing, no matter how narcissistic, never thought she could compete with someone who could casually pull out a lethal gift as a birthday present. She felt her current position was sufficient to touch the hope of a class leap.
Around 8 o’clock in the morning, she suddenly received a WeChat transfer.
50,000 Yuan, with the note "buy clothes."
"YES!"
Senior Sister Yan got so excited she rolled on the bed, squishing and rounding the pillow. Her Favorability Rating ’biu’ went up a notch.
The money wasn’t a huge amount, but what mattered wasn’t the number – it was the meaning.
"So, this is a reward, right?"
Yan Mengqing happily walked to the bathroom, admiring her slender and delicate body in the mirror. The peculiar fulfillment from being dominated and conquered seeped into every crevice, filling all the voids.
...
In today’s Xingyu, there was endless work to be done every day.
Even with his augmented talents, Su Huai still had to exert a great deal of energy to meet development needs.
Making money could be expedited, for example, Su Huai could now roll Cash through the Freeloading Feature for exponential growth. But money is money, and business is business; in the grand scheme of things, money is always a secondary factor.
Thus, Su Huai didn’t rush to amass wealth but instead planned to streamline internals.
He aimed to maximize the value of the "Memory Sorting" feature.
During his lunch break, he sat in front of his computer, opened a Word document, and began to write a comprehensive treatise.
The title was – The Development History of the Personal IP Era.
There was no subtitle because this was a comprehensive summary, tracing from the rudimentary form of online celebrities like Cheng Lin and Xili Bro, through to the first generation of conscious online celebrities like Sister Furong and Sister Feng, and up to the fifth generation of weaker emotional IP personas.
The introduction and conclusion were the hardest parts to write, as Su Huai didn’t know much and had to slowly unearth details from professional articles he had read.
The rudimentary online celebrities like Cheng Lin and Xili Bro were grassroots sensations but lacked any commercial value.
The first generation of internet celebrities, represented by Sister Furong and Sister Feng, gained short-lived attention through deliberate promotion and the logic of gaining fame through ugliness, lacking the ability to monetize but gaining the opportunity to push boundaries.
And then, Sister Feng, still doing pedicures and manicures at age 40, and Sister Furong, who had successfully transitioned to being an entrepreneur, were already financially independent.
This highlighted the limited opportunities and divergence of roads due to personal capacity.
The second generation of internet celebrities, Xueli, Zhang Dayi, and others, rose through the ascendancy of Weibo, gathering followers with eye-catching antics, and monetizing through advertising or e-commerce.
The third generation saw names like Feng Timo, Papi Jiang, PDD, Guo Youcai, and even Viya and Li Jiaqi and Li Ziqi.
A vast span, based on the rise of video and live broadcasting, marked the beginning of the maturation of personal IPs.
The fourth generation of internet celebrities truly embodied strong labels, specialized, content-based personal IPs in their mature phase.
