Financial Independence through Cracked Apps

Chapter 619: Chapter 299: New Hit Video, Part 2

There was no tragic separation, no breakup born from a misunderstanding.

This story was about a girlfriend supporting her boyfriend as he made a comeback after a failed investment, going from a dilapidated Wuling van to a Maybach S680.

Lin Shen happened to have the resources for this, so he could write this kind of script.

"It’s pretty good."

Lin Shen was deeply moved after reading the entire story.

"If only there was a girl this wonderful in the world."

"Isn’t she right in front of you?"

Jiang Wan boldly held onto Lin Shen’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder with a soft smile.

"If your business fails, I’ll support you with my counselor’s salary, and we can eat street food together."

"Senior, you can’t just say things like that, you know."

Lin Shen lightly pinched Jiang Wan’s nose and chuckled.

"I’m not putting my entire fortune into it, so it’s fine even if it fails. I have another startup project, too. I can’t be so unlucky that both of them go belly up, can I?"

"Then how is your Shennan company doing?"

Jiang Wan asked, a little sourly.

"With the help of that female superior of yours, it must be going smoothly, right?"

"It’s alright."

Lin Shen didn’t dare go into detail in front of Jiang Wan, just giving her a general overview in simple terms.

This included opening eight physical stores and the pet food selling very well online.

This made Jiang Wan quite envious.

’After all, *she* has a head for business and can help Lin Shen handle company matters so efficiently.’

’But I can’t. My work as a counselor is already overwhelming, let alone figuring out how to build up Shenwan’s reputation.’

Seeing Jiang Wan’s slightly worried expression, Lin Shen wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, gently rubbing her stomach as he comforted her.

"Senior, you’ve worked hard. You don’t have to stress so much about it. It’s not like we’re trying to become some super-amazing company. We just need to develop slowly. We have plenty of time."

"Okay."

After being comforted by Lin Shen, most of Jiang Wan’s anxiety dissipated. She then changed the topic back to shooting the video.

"So, when are we shooting our video?"

"Let’s wait until after the National Day holiday."

"Okay, that gives me time to revise the script and see if there’s any other material I can add."

The two of them discussed the script while enjoying their delicious sushi.

During their meal, a celebratory message from Sun Jialin suddenly popped up in the Shenwan Media WeChat group.

[Sun Jialin: @Lin Shen, thank you for your support, President Lin! You helped my video become a minor viral hit.]

A minor viral hit?

Jiang Wan and Lin Shen, who were in the middle of eating, looked at each other at the same time. After a moment of surprise, Lin Shen quickly opened Douyin, and Jiang Wan leaned over to watch curiously.

The first video that came up was a short dance of a beautiful woman showing off her figure. When Jiang Wan saw it, she couldn’t help but shoot Lin Shen a sidelong glance.

Seeing this, he quickly coughed twice and explained.

"I’m just scouting streamers for our Shenwan Media. Don’t get the wrong idea."

"Hmph."

Of course, Jiang Wan knew what he was up to, but she didn’t call him out on it.

When he opened Sun Jialin’s main page, he was truly stunned.

"It has over a million likes?"

Huh?

Jiang Wan’s beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

"The last time I saw it, it only had a hundred-something thousand likes. How did it pass a million in just half a day?"

"It was probably the Dou+ promotion I bought for her."

Lin Shen said, analyzing the situation as he scrolled through the Douyin trending charts to find the reason Sun Jialin’s video had blown up.

"Look, first off, it’s the weekend. The traffic is at its peak when I boosted the video."

"Second, I had her specifically add the ’Jialin Shake’ tag to this dance, hoping it might get on the challenge leaderboard. I never expected it to actually make it, let alone hit number one!"

Lin Shen looked up the "Jialin Shake" tag. Sure enough, quite a few influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers had already quickly posted their own dance videos to jump on the trend.

The most impressive part was Sun Jialin’s sexy hip sway; others could only imitate it, but very few could surpass her.

Because of this, many of the comments under her video were from viewers who had come specifically after hearing about her, all leaving messages.

"This trend will probably last for a while."

Lin Shen said with a smile.

"It’s only been half a day. I bet in two or three days, a lot of major influencers with millions of followers will also do this dance. It’ll probably stay on Douyin’s trending list for a week."

"That’s so amazing!"

Jiang Wan couldn’t help but praise.

"You were right to believe in Jialin from the start!"

As a social media influencer herself, Jiang Wan knew very well how difficult it was for a short dance video to become a minor viral hit with over a million likes.

Generally speaking, the biggest viral hits are emotional videos with some kind of social value.

For example, mainstream hot topics like patriotism or romantic relationships resonate with the majority of people, which is why they go viral.

Jiang Wan herself had capitalized on the "love" trend, which was how she’d had two hit videos.

But dance videos are different.

Unless they’re from a celebrity or an influencer with a massive following, they usually only get a hundred-something thousand likes.

Creating a viral dance video is far more difficult than making those profound, socially relevant videos.

That made Sun Jialin’s viral video all the more impressive.

"Her talent is undeniable. I just added some fuel to the fire."

Lin Shen immediately sent Sun Jialin a 10,000-yuan red envelope in the group chat, right in front of everyone, making the others incredibly envious.

Sun Jialin hadn’t expected Lin Shen to be so generous.

He was the one who had engineered this viral hit using Dou+ promotions, yet he was still giving her a 10,000-yuan red envelope.

This made Sun Jialin feel an involuntary sense of admiration for her young boss.

It was the so-called "admiration for the powerful."

’Others would haggle over a few hundred or a thousand yuan, but with Lin Shen, the red envelopes are in the ten-thousands.’

’So this is what a true second-generation heir is like!’

Previously, Sun Jialin might have held a certain prejudice against the "rich second generation," but Lin Shen had shattered that stereotype and made her see him in a completely new light.

’He’s completely different from those rich kids who just want to use their money to sleep with you!’

’He’s the type who genuinely has more money than he can spend.’

[Sun Jialin: Thank you, Boss.]

Sun Jialin decisively thanked Lin Shen in the WeChat group, and the others quickly chimed in with their congratulations.

But she felt that wasn’t enough.

Sun Jialin reflected on her relationship with Lin Shen and felt she had been far too passive.

’If this continues, Lin Shen will only ever see me as a subordinate.’

’I have to take the initiative.’

After thinking for a moment, Sun Jialin decisively sent Lin Shen a private message.

[Sun Jialin: Boss, I have another dance video I was hoping you could take a look at for me.]

[Sun Jialin: [Video]]

?

Seeing the video Sun Jialin sent, Lin Shen’s immediate reaction was that something was off.

Because the video’s thumbnail clearly showed her outfit.

Although it was still a K-pop girl group style outfit, the vibe was much sexier and hotter, almost like a school uniform look.

Her top was a basic white shirt paired with a light gray, double-breasted suit jacket.

The tailored waist and metal buttons really accentuated her waistline.

For the bottom, she wore a black, high-waisted miniskirt with fine pinstripes. Even though the hem only covered the top half of her thighs, it still had a side slit, which raised the overall sexiness by several points.

Her long, powerful legs were wrapped in ultra-thin gray stockings, paired with red-soled high heels.

It was safe to say this outfit didn’t match Sun Jialin’s usual video style at all.

It was too obviously catering to the male gaze, bordering on a thirst trap.

Of course, this was one of the small changes Lin Shen had asked her to make. He just hadn’t expected her to actually do it!

Lin Shen had originally planned to watch it in private when he was alone, but as soon as Jiang Wan saw it, she grabbed his wrist.

Although her expression was all smiles, her eyes held a strange, unreadable glint.

"Oh? So Jialin sent you a private dance video. Why aren’t you watching it?"

"I’ll watch it when we get back."

Lin Shen tried to make one last struggle, but Jiang Wan had already tapped open the video and was teasing him.

"Just watch it if you want to. It’s not like it’s something scandalous. Or is there something fishy about the video Jialin sent you?"
