Game of Life: Signing Internet Celebrities from a Bar

Chapter 472 Chen Jincheng is the only one with a conscience!

Chapter 472 Chen Jincheng is the only one with a conscience!

Lin Shichang, seeing that the first batch of punishment notices had been issued in the capital, and his son-in-law Gu Zeyuan were also eagerly anticipating the announcement of Chen Jincheng's punishment.

Once Chen Jin is officially punished, the other party won't have the time or opportunity to release the 20-plus songs anymore. Just cooperating with the investigation will be enough to give them a hard time.

Similarly, many people online are wondering if Chen Jincheng has been implicated, since he is currently the biggest internet celebrity and has the best sales performance.

While we were waiting, the second batch of announcements from Beijing came out. This time, many MCN media companies were on the list, such as Papi Jiang's company and Papi Jiang herself. Three of their products were found to have problems, and another issue was unclear.

However, the report indicated that the other party bore less responsibility than the manufacturer, and only a fine was required.

Lin Shichang and his son-in-law Gu Zeyuan immediately checked the second batch of announcements, looking through each list one by one, but they did not find the names of Er Shi Xingchen and Chen Jincheng.

"How could there not be?" Lin Shichang frowned.

Gu Zeyuan immediately said, "Dad, this is only the second batch. There will definitely be more later."

Many netizens who are paying attention to this point also noticed that Er Shi Xing Chen and Chen Jin Cheng were not included in the second batch, so they are all waiting for the third batch of names.

Especially Chen Jincheng's fans.

This is a disastrous day for many online celebrities' fans.

Many fans of online celebrities were quite upset when they saw that their favorite celebrities weren't on the first list, only to find out later that their names appeared on the second list.

Some of the problems are quite serious; not only will they be punished, but they will also have to cooperate with the investigation, which means they will have to stay in jail for two days.

This has led many people to worry that the next batch of internet celebrities to emerge will include those they already follow.

Chen Jincheng's fans are the same, and in fact, they are the largest group of people. After all, Chen Jincheng is the number one Douyin influencer and the internet celebrity with the most fans.

Beijing.

Lei Xiaojun was already in a teahouse with a middle-aged man.

He was brewing tea, while the middle-aged man opposite him was sipping it.

After drinking a cup of tea, the other party asked, "President Lei, the Douyin video sales scandal is quite serious right now. If Ershixingchen is also involved, especially if Chen Jincheng has problems, then the valuation of Ershixingchen is probably over 600 billion, which our Zhao family can't possibly agree to."

This person was the representative of the capitalist force in Beijing that Lei Xiaojun had helped Chen Jincheng find.

Regarding this question, Lei Xiaojun said very confidently, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry. This time, President Chen will show you how farsighted he is."

He wasn't worried at all.

He knew about Ershixingchen's situation when he visited them before, and he was even more aware of how capable President Chen was in planning ahead. With that kind of quality control system, it was impossible for any problematic products to be on Ershixingchen's sales list.

Mr. Zhao was very surprised to hear this.

It's normal for emerging industries like live-streaming e-commerce to run into problems. After all, even Douyin Company itself hadn't paid attention to these issues, so this time they suffered a major setback.

If Chen Jincheng had actually prepared for this situation beforehand, then it certainly demonstrates the other party's formidable skill.

At least the other party's overall perspective and understanding of the short video industry are superior to Douyin's.

So he said, "Mr. Lei, if Chen Jincheng doesn't run into any problems this time, then we can start the financing process. Could you help me arrange a meeting with him?"

“Okay, Mr. Zhao.” Lei Xiaojun nodded and poured the other man another cup of tea.

The outcome was already decided.

By then, he would have considered that he had completed the task assigned to him by General Manager Chen.

Online.

The announcement of the punishment in Beijing is causing a great stir, and more and more people are paying attention to it.

Moreover, the third batch of the list was released very quickly.

Chen Jincheng's fans checked immediately, but still couldn't find his name. This made them all relieved in their fan groups that Chen had survived safely.

Then came the fourth batch of lists, the fifth batch of lists, and the sixth batch of lists.

The list now includes even more names and companies.

After the release of the six batches of lists, the number of people on the list has almost wiped out all the top-tier and leading internet celebrities, which has made the situation of internet celebrities even worse, and many of their fans have stopped supporting them.

Therefore, the only thing the internet celebrity did today was to clarify, shirk their own responsibility, and push the blame onto the manufacturer. They either stated that they had filed a lawsuit or cried their hearts out, portraying themselves as victims as well.

Some of the influencer's fans believed it and even offered words of comfort, while others decisively unfollowed the influencer.

Only Chan Kam-ching's fans should be celebrating, since they haven't seen the names of "Second Generation Star" and "Cheng Shang" on the list for six consecutive batches.

Now there's only one name left on the list. If Cheng doesn't make it onto the list either, then their support for Cheng was truly spot-on. They can then act with impunity on Douyin, openly stating that only the person they support hasn't run into trouble.

Compared to Chen Jincheng's fans, Lin Shichang and his son-in-law Gu Zeyuan's expressions grew increasingly grim.

How come Ershixingchen and Chen Jincheng are not on the list for six consecutive batches? Ershixingchen was the first company to explore live-streaming e-commerce and also the company with the most sales.

"Why haven't Chen Jincheng and Ershixingchen Company arrived yet?" Lin Shichang couldn't believe it, and his face turned ugly again.

Gu Zeyuan immediately comforted him, "Dad, isn't there still one last list that hasn't been released yet? Chen Jincheng's company is so big, and he's the number one internet celebrity, so he'll definitely wait until the grand finale to release it. The problem must be the most serious one." "Yes, that must be it." Lin Shichang immediately nodded; that was the only explanation.

He absolutely did not believe that a company as large as Chen Jincheng's could be without any problems.

Finally, during prime time online, the last batch of announcements from Beijing was released.

Gu Zeyuan had been keeping an eye on things on his phone and immediately notified Lin Shichang: "Dad, the last batch of announcements is out, and Chen Jincheng and Er Shixingchen are definitely on it."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Shichang immediately took out his phone to check. However, when he opened the last batch of announcements, he and his son-in-law Gu Zeyuan were dumbfounded. The last batch of announcements was not a list of media companies and internet celebrities at all, but a summary of those problematic products and companies.

Simply put, this is a list of penalties.

The previous six lists were the results of penalties imposed on internet celebrities and media companies; this new list is about penalizing product manufacturers.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Lin Shichang was stunned and muttered to himself in frustration.

In other words, once the sixth batch of names was released, it was already confirmed that Chen Jincheng was out of trouble. What were they waiting for?

As the final list was released, Chan Kam-ching's fans went wild, and their groups were buzzing with excitement.

In the group chat, Yi Jin immediately told everyone, "Brothers, isn't Brother Cheng awesome? He and Er Shi Xing Chen are no problem."

"Cattle!"

"That's awesome."

"Brother Cheng is awesome!"

"..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Jin said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get the accounts working and spread the word about this. Let everyone know that Brother Cheng is the only one among the Douyin influencers with a conscience."

One by one, the people in the group responded.

So, in an instant, videos titled "Chen Jincheng is the only internet celebrity with a conscience" began to appear all over Douyin.

In Douyin's office, Han Shangyou had already moved out. Douyin had brought in a new general manager, a middle-aged woman named Gu Xue.

She was also extremely worried about being appointed to this critical position. This situation was definitely the biggest crisis for Douyin, and she wasn't even confident that she could get Douyin through it safely.

Just as she was having a headache, her assistant rushed in: "President Gu, look at this video quickly, Chen Jincheng is not on the list."

Gu Xue was taken aback when she heard the report.

She had been troubled by this matter. In her subconscious mind, Chen Jincheng's Second Generation Star was the largest MCN media with the most sales and should not have been spared.

What's going on now?

Chen Jincheng was not on the list. Is there no problem between him and Ershixingchen?

This made her somewhat hesitant to have confidence.

After watching the video handed to him by his assistant, he immediately began searching through the six lists and found that Er Shi Xing Chen and Chen Jin Cheng were indeed not among them.

This...this...is incredible.

This is an absolutely amazing surprise!

She knew what to do and immediately instructed her assistant: "Quickly, quickly, push this matter with all your might, push all the traffic to this news."

Chan Kam-ching may have to help Dou Yin stabilize the situation once again.

With Douyin's full-fledged promotion, Douyin users, internet celebrities, and media circles all became aware of it.

Many users know Chen Jincheng, and they were truly surprised to see that he was uninjured in this incident. They started checking the list and were shocked to find that Chen Jincheng was not on it.

Yuan Peng, the producer of OST, was already overwhelmed with problems. More than ten of their OST products were found to have issues. Although none of them had serious problems, the requirement to rectify them was a very troublesome matter.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, everyone's figuring things out as they go. Look at those MCNs, it's not like they're the only ones doing this; everyone's doing it this way.

He knew that no MCN would be spared this time.

But when he saw that Ershi Xingchen and Chen Jincheng were unharmed, he couldn't believe it. After checking the list, he was filled with admiration: "How did Chen Jincheng do that?"

When Chen Yixiao heard the news from his assistant, he was also somewhat dumbfounded.

He even looked through the lists several times, and after confirming that Chen Jincheng and Er Shixingchen were indeed not on them, he frowned.

He had initially thought Chen Jincheng would definitely have problems, so he hadn't paid much attention to him anymore. After all, if something happened, the other party's influence would drop significantly.

What should we tell him now? Chen Jincheng is fine.

In that case, the value of the name Chen Jincheng would increase significantly, and its influence would undoubtedly be even greater.

What a hassle!

Just then, he suddenly heard his assistant report: "President Chen, another list has been issued in Beijing. This time it only includes Er Shi Xing Chen and Chen Jin Cheng."

"What? This is the grand finale? They specially chose the strongest person to carry out the execution?" Chen Yixiao's face subconsciously showed joy.
