The attention of top-tier socialites was drawn to this leg-revealing gadget.
Gu Qianlan: “I want to know the brand, can you tell me?”
After saying this, Gu Qianlan was pleasantly surprised and stunned. She realized that she had not only broken through herself but also dared to ask a second question now.
Cheng Youyou replied “M-a-n-i, the leg-revealing gadget from Mani. You can find them on the online store of S Supermarket.”
Gu Qianlan broke through herself today. She realized how much more relaxed and comfortable it could be without putting on airs as a socialite.
So, after waiting for Cheng Youyou’s reply, she didn’t hesitate. She took out her phone and went straight to the online store to search for the Mani leg-revealing gadget.
Then, she looked up disappointedly. “Sold out?”
Because of Cheng Youyou’s strong promotional abilities a few days ago, netizens have already bought out all the inventory of Mani.
Factory workers are rushing to produce more, but even so, the website still shows that there is no stock available.
Gu Qianlan is feeling quite down now. Cheng Youyou casually asks, “Do you really want these stockings right now?”
Gu Qianlan nods, saying, “My friend invited me to go skiing at Changbai Mountain. I wasn’t keen on going, but after hearing what you said just now, I felt intrigued. I want to try wearing these socks and see if they can withstand the cold at Changbai.”
Cheng Youyou nods thoughtfully. “Oh~”
Then she took out her phone and opened her QR code: “You can add me as a friend,” she says. “I happen to have a brand new pair of super thick stockings. Just send me your address later, and I’ll have them shipped to you when I get home.”
Gu Qianlan was delighted. “But don’t you need them?”
Cheng Youyou replied through the friend request, “I’m not going to Changbai Mountain anyway, and besides, I’ve bought several pairs of light leg-revealing gadgets before. I don’t need to wear super thick ones in Beijing.”
Gu Qianlan was both moved and grateful.
That evening, she received a WeChat transfer from Cheng Youyou as a token of gratitude. In return, Gu Qianlan transferred three thousand yuan to Cheng Youyou.
After deducting the money for the stockings, Cheng Youyou transferred the remaining amount back and sent a message on WeChat: [I’m not a middleman; I don’t make a profit on the price difference.]
This gesture touched Gu Qianlan even more, and she considered Cheng Youyou a true friend in her heart.
The next day, Gu Qianlan really went to Changbai Mountain, and she really wore that pair of stockings.
As a result, she became the most stunning woman on the ski slopes.
No one was dressed as lightly as her. Amidst the pure white snowscape, she wore ski attire but seemed to play the game of vanishing lower body, her fair legs shining brightly against the snowy backdrop.
The photos taken by the accompanying photographer were even more visually striking.
This was the most confident winter that Gu Qianlan had ever experienced. That evening, she posted a Weibo with nine pictures of the snowy landscape, each featuring her snow-white legs prominently displayed.
Although Gu Qianlan was not a celebrity, as a top-tier socialite, she still garnered a certain level of attention on the internet.
The release of these photos caused quite a stir, with some admiring her great figure but many more questioning her actions.
【Do today’s socialites not care about their lives anymore? Even though it’s not even minus ten degrees at Changbai Mountain, they’re still willing to risk their health for a beauty shot?】
【There’s no need for this, really unnecessary. You’re already a socialite, there’s no need to sacrifice your health for beauty.】
【Are you really not cold? Just looking at the huge piles of snow around you makes me shiver.】
【Prioritizing beauty over health, to be honest, I can’t agree with that.】
Gu Qianlan is a polite socialite, and even with a lot of skepticism, she personally replies to each comment below.
Gu Qianlan: 【It’s not just for the sake of looking good in photos; actually, I’m not cold.】
Gu Qianlan: 【I wore some flesh-colored stockings, and my friend said they can withstand the temperatures of Changbai Mountain.】
Another netizen questioned: 【Nonsense, it’s clearly just legs, there’s no sign of wearing stockingss at all.】
Gu Qianlan deliberately opened a Weibo account and posted a picture in the comments: 【Look, this is the real leg-revealing gadget, and it’s lined with fleece inside. If you say you can’t tell, it’s because this leg-revealing gadget has a high degree of restoration.】
She didn’t settle the doubts on Weibo until she posted this comment.
Then, the tone of the comments suddenly changed.
【I’m intrigued. If it can withstand the climate of Changbai Mountain, then wouldn’t it be perfect for wearing to class in the winter? Blogger, what brand is this?】
【Please tell me the brand.】
【Tell me the brand!】
Gu Qianlan is a refined socialite, and she strives to respond to every question from netizens.
So she sent Cheng Youyou a WeChat message, and after getting Cheng Youyou’s answer, she posted the screenshot of their conversation.
Gu Qianlan: 【Sis, I forgot the brand of the leg-revealing gadget.】
Cheng Youyou: 【It’s Mani, they sell it at S Supermarket.】
Gu Qianlan: 【You’re right, it can really withstand the severe cold of Changbai Mountain.】
Cheng Youyou: 【That’s awesome. *lights cigarette*】
This post brought attention to a previously unnoticed detail.
【Wait, your friend is Cheng Youyou?】
【Isn’t this brand the one Cheng Youyou recommended a few days ago? I remember it even trended!】
【I heard Cheng Youyou saved a stocking factory, is that true?】
Although Gu Qianlan doesn’t follow celebrities, but seeing these replies, she decided to adhere to her principle of patiently responding to netizens and messaged Cheng Youyou.
A few minutes later, Gu Qianlan posted another comment, which was a screenshot of their conversation.
Qianlan: “May I ask, are you the celebrity Cheng Youyou?”
Cheng Youyou replied: “Bro, you’ve caught me. My bad.jpg”
The netizens were once again buzzing.
【Awesome, I should’ve guessed earlier. It’s quite possible for a socialite’s friend to be a celebrity.】
【These two goddesses are good friends!】
【Am I the only one noticing how seriously Cheng Youyou is promoting this?】
【This further proves how great this leg-revealing gadget is.】
【Cheng Youyou successfully introduced the leg-revealing gadget into the socialite circle.】
As the comments from netizens suggest, Cheng Youyou really succeeded in introducing the leg-revealing gadget into the socialite circle.
The next day, representatives from other family-owned companies of socialites contacted the executives of Mani, signaling their interest in acquiring the company.
It was manageable when one major company contacted Mani, but when three consecutive large companies expressed interest in acquisition, it inevitably caused panic among the top executives at Mani.
They had never conveyed any signals of being open to acquisition, so they were puzzled as to why things were heading in this direction.
The top executives dispatched representatives to probe the intentions of the several major companies interested in acquisition. Eventually, they reached a conclusion: the reason why these elite families’ enterprises wanted to acquire Mani was because they couldn’t purchase the leg beautifying product. They were eager to produce it in-house.
The Mani executives tactfully expressed that they had no plans to be acquired, while reassuring that the production line was already in urgent production, and there would soon be products available in the market.
Mani’s side was puzzled by how they attracted the attention of large companies. Eventually, through various sources of information, they concluded that it was all thanks to Cheng Youyou. Cheng Youyou broke into the high society circle with the leg-revealing gadget.
Upon receiving this news, Mani’s top executives summoned the business manager. “Where did you see Cheng Youyou being unprofessional? Even in private, she never forgets to promote our leg beautifying product. She even brought it into the high-end market, a market our company has been struggling to penetrate. And yet you call this unprofessionalism?”
The business manager was nervous and frustrated. He hadn’t anticipated things would develop this way, and now he couldn’t help but think of Ding Yaxin.
If it weren’t for Ding Yaxin lowering her price, he wouldn’t have given up on Cheng Youyou and chosen Ding Yaxin.
The business manager began to think about why Ding Yaxin lowered her price to accept the endorsement. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly understood.
As a result, Ding Yaxin received the termination letter from Mani that night.
Reason for termination: Ding Yaxin concealed her injury, which affected the cooperation, and she was required to compensate for the loss of work amounting to 200,000 yuan.
While Ding Yaxin was sobbing, Liu Meng received an olive branch from Mani. This time, the business manager’s attitude was even more humble than before, and they offered double the previous endorsement fee.
Cheng Youyou is also easy to work with regarding money. Of course, she agreed to Mani’s high demands.
A few days later, Mani officially announced Cheng Youyou as their spokesperson across all online platforms, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
【They finally collaborated!】
【I only recognize Cheng Youyou as the spokesperson for Mani.】
【It was Cheng Youyou who introduced Mani to everyone. If Mani doesn’t choose Cheng Youyou, then they really don’t know how to appreciate talent.】
Seeing these comments, the Mani team breathed a sigh of relief. They were very grateful for Cheng Youyou’s generosity and willingness to let bygones be bygones.
After resting for a few more days, Cheng Youyou entered the “Go For It, Tycoon” program and began recording for the second season.
In this episode, the program recreated the urban landscape of the 1980s through scene construction.
Director Wang: “Here we are in Chaoyang City in the 1980s. With the recent opening up of the market economy policies, all industries are full of opportunities. The entire market is brimming with chances to make money. As long as you are sharp-minded, diligent, and willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to carve out your own piece of the pie.”
Director Wang: “In this episode, the initial capital for starting your businesses will be the money you accumulated from the first episode.”
There are no guest appearances in this episode, with the five regular guests from the first episode all present.
Upon hearing this, Wang Wensheng immediately raised his hand, indicating that he understood: “So, we’re going to do business in the 1980s, right?”
Director Wang continued, “Yes, you can use your initial capital to invest in business. After this episode, we will tally how much money you’ve made. Additionally, the guest with the most funds will be awarded the title of ‘Wealthiest Young Person of Chaoyang’ and receive an additional reward of 10,000 yuan from Chaoyang City. The accumulated funds from this episode will automatically carry over to the third episode of the program.”
Wang Wensheng arrogantly said, “Come on, in a country with a population of over a billion, becoming the richest is indeed challenging, but now I only have four opponents. So, it’s a piece of cake for me to grab the title of the wealthiest young man.”
Wang Wensheng stood with his hands on his hips, practically saying, ‘Look how awesome I am.’
Zhou Hao asked Director Wang, “Where does the money come from?”
Upon hearing this question, Wang Wensheng expressed that he didn’t understand.
Zhou Hao explained, “Money is conserved. Since we can earn it, there must be someone who’s going to spend it. Whose money are we actually earning?”
【Finally getting to the point.】
【Besides boasting, Brother Sheng doesn’t do much else.】
【Luckily, we have Zhou Hao, or else this program would have gone off track long ago.】
【The program rules can’t be enforced.】
Director Wang snapped his fingers, and suddenly the backdrop behind him collapsed, revealing a crowd of people standing densely in front of him.
Wang Wensheng: “Is it time for a group fight?”
Director Wang: “…”
Zhao Mengran interrupted Wang Wensheng again, saying, “So, is it their money that we’re earning?”
Director Wang replied, “These people are the citizens of Chaoyang City. They are engaged in various professions. The Chaoyang City we simulated was established based on the 1980s. Everyone’s business and earnings come from them. Once again, I declare, it’s now the year 1982 in Chaoyang City. The average salary is 40 yuan. Based on the current price level, let’s begin your journey to earn money, guests.”
