Chapter 94: Cooperation with the Little Streaming Platform? I'll Think About It

“Brother Luo! Come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!”

Outside the door, Liuhua’s voice grew louder and louder, along with the pounding on the door, until even the soundly sleeping Wenwan was roused awake.

At that moment, she was wearing a seductive red silk nightgown, her whole body radiating a languid sensuality.

She reached up to hook her arms around Chen Luo’s neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and buried her face against the side of his neck, letting out a couple of dissatisfied huffs.

“Mmm! Who is it, disturbing my sweet dream?”

After the fierce battle that afternoon, even Wenwan’s stamina was starting to fail her. Her whole body still felt sore and weak.

Still, there was a satisfied smile on her face. After all, Chen Luo had truly thrown himself into it with everything he had, comforting her in every possible way.

“It sounds like Liuhua. Maybe something really did happen.”

Chen Luo knew Liuhua well enough. Though she could be a little flustered at times, he had never once known her to lie to him.

“Mm, let’s go take a look. Carry me out with you.”

Wenwan remained clinging to Chen Luo’s chest like an octopus. Chen Luo could not be bothered with propriety at the moment, and simply scooped her up by the thigh, holding her tight.

With a powerful twist of his waist, he rose to his feet and rushed toward the door.

Thud, thud, thud!

Hearing footsteps, Liuhua immediately stopped knocking. When the guestroom door slowly opened, she hastily prepared herself to explain the situation.

“Liuhua! What happened?”

The moment the door opened, Chen Luo’s voice came out. Liuhua lifted her head and was just about to speak.

“Ah! What are you two doing!”

She promptly reached up to cover the uncovered eye beneath her blindfold, though the gap between her fingers was a little too wide.

At this moment, Chen Luo was wearing only a pair of shorts; his upper body was bare. Yet Liuhua could not see the strong, alluring lines of his build.

“Can you please be a little mindful of your image? I haven’t even had a boyfriend yet!”

Liuhua looked at Wenwan with deep resentment as Wenwan, in her sexy nightgown, clung to Chen Luo like an octopus. Her seductive red lips were brushing, almost teasingly, against his neck.

As for Chen Luo, both his hands were gripping Wenwan’s round, shapely thighs as he held her close.

Ah! I have always wanted to do that!

In anime, the heroine can cling to the male lead like that. What a wonderful pose!

“Cut the nonsense. Hurry up and say what happened!”

“Oh. Sister Mei asked me to tell you your video went viral. Not just viral—super viral! It broke a million views in the first hour.”

“And that’s not all. Our milk tea shop has gone viral too. Right now, the line is almost reaching your school gate. I’m already having people rush to prepare more ingredients.”

When Wenwan heard this news, her previously half-asleep eyes flew wide open, and she turned to stare at Liuhua.

“Liuhua, are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious! And this is only on one platform. I haven’t even checked the numbers on the others yet. As for the milk tea shop, we’re already out of stock right now, and there are still at least several hundred customers waiting!”

Hearing these figures, Wenwan immediately made a basic judgment about the current situation.

She had never managed short videos herself, but she still knew what a million-view video could mean in the present day.

This was only the first step of Chen Luo’s venture. According to his plan, the real show had yet to begin.

It seemed this little treasure of hers was even more gifted than she had imagined.

“Oh? So that’s how it is. As expected.”

Chen Luo, however, did not seem especially surprised. After all, his video was a dimensional blow to the short-video scene of 2013, so such a view count was entirely within his expectations.

Seeing the calm, unreadable expression on Chen Luo’s face, Wenwan quietly nodded.

Although Chen Luo was still only at the starting stage of his business, facing such success with his first project and showing so little emotional fluctuation was proof of genuine composure.

“No, you heard me wrong. I said a million views.”

Liuhua thought Chen Luo had simply failed to hear her clearly, which was why he had shown no reaction at all.

“So what if it’s a million views? Don’t make such a fuss.”

Chen Luo gently set Wenwan down and was just about to change clothes before heading over to Sister Mei’s place when, unexpectedly, Sister Mei and Zhang Meng rushed over at that very moment.

“Chen Luo! Chen Luo!”

Sister Mei was extremely excited, holding a sheet of paper covered in lines of data.

“Seven hundred thousand new followers across the entire internet, total views past ten million! The milk tea shop sold three hundred cups in an hour!”

Without a single unnecessary word, she blurted out all the figures in one breath.

“Can you at least let me put on some clothes before you talk?”

Only then did Sister Mei and Zhang Meng notice that Chen Luo was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, with his upper body completely bare.

That physique—what woman could refuse it?

Sister Mei and Zhang Meng nearly drooled at the sight of Chen Luo’s muscular build.

Thud.

At that moment, Wenwan stepped sideways and stood in front of Chen Luo, blocking his body, while casting the two women a warning glance.

This is my man’s body. Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!

The two women swallowed hard and quickly turned their faces away.

“All right, everyone calm down. Let me see the data.”

Taking the report from Sister Mei, Chen Luo mentally analyzed every platform and gained a rough understanding of the current short-video market.

“Good. Keep tracking the numbers. I want a data analysis report from you every day.”

“Yes!” Zhang Meng answered reflexively, though she felt a little strange inside. Why did Chen Luo seem more and more like a boss? He was only a freshman.

“Oh, right, Chen Luo, there’s more I need to report.”

“Ten minutes ago, my brother received a business partnership inquiry from the platform, inviting you to Modu for an in-person discussion. My brother asked how we should respond.”

After saying this, Sister Mei looked at Chen Luo very seriously, wanting to see how he would handle a partnership with such a major company.

For a student who had only just started a business, receiving an invitation from a company like that would usually be enough to make them thrilled.

Yet Chen Luo seemed to show no surprise or excitement at all.

“Oh, we have class tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Sister Mei froze, and blurted out on instinct:

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. Tell Zhou Zheng to reply and say we need to think it over a little longer.”

……

Modu, headquarters of the platform.

The platform’s CEO, Chen Rui, looked at the video that had already surged onto the site’s trending list, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he turned to the head of the business department.

“How is it? Have they replied yet?”

“They have replied.”

“Oh? When are they coming to Modu?”

“No, Mr. Chen. They replied that they need to think it over a little longer.”

“Oh? Interesting. This Chen Luo really is interesting.”

Seeing the smile on his boss’s face, the business manager asked in some puzzlement:

“Mr. Chen, why are you so interested in a college student who runs such a small milk tea shop?”
