Chapter 769: Chapter 383: Solid Proof: Chen Jincheng’s Girlfriend?

The reason Penguin Film and Television hadn’t snatched up *All is Well* right away was that they felt the show simply wasn’t worth 500 million. The same went for iQiyi. Otherwise, they would have secured it in the first round, so why wait for a sales conference?

However, they and iQiyi had already come to an agreement to minimize their losses by splitting the cost of the show.

While their rivalry was very real, they could make a tactical exception for a drama like this, which they were mainly interested in for its award potential. Their plan was to have a tacit understanding and lowball Midday Sunshine by 100 million.

Midday Sunshine wanted to turn things around with this sales conference? ’In their dreams.’

Besides the two of them, no one would spend that kind of money on this show. The price was just too high.

Of course, if this Chen Jincheng was so confident that he was willing to spend 500 million, then they had nothing to say to that.

’Then again,’ he thought, ’they’re a new streaming site. What do they know about analyzing which shows will be a hit and which will flop? It’s entirely possible they’d do something that idiotic.’

Chen Jincheng, however, had no idea he was being written off as an idiot. He continued speaking to his stream, "Additionally, we’ve also received invitations from the producers of Best Actor Sun Honglei’s *I’m Taking My Dad to Study Abroad* and Best Actor Zhang Yi’s *My Biological and Stepfather*."

"When the time comes, I plan to buy both of these shows too. I’ll make sure Penguin Film and Television and iQiyi Film and Television go home empty-handed. Then everyone can come to my streaming site and have three new shows to watch."

"Holy shit!" Huang Zhen couldn’t stop himself from cursing when he heard that.

’This Chen Jincheng has absolutely no respect for Penguin Film and Television! Does he think we’re just pushovers?’

Of course, he knew about those two shows. They were highly anticipated, and Penguin Film and Television had also been invited to bid.

’Seriously, this Chen Jincheng is way too arrogant.’

’Saying he’s going to take all three shows.’

’We’ll shut him down on all three fronts and make sure he doesn’t get a single one.’

’Of course, if he really wants to spend 500 million to get *All is Well*, I don’t mind letting him play the fool.’

’But for the other two, he doesn’t stand a chance.’

It wasn’t just Huang Zhen. The people over at iQiyi also saw Chen Jincheng’s livestream and were thoroughly annoyed by his words. The guy was just too arrogant.

’Let’s see if we can take him down a peg.’

After that, he left the livestream and started gathering his team to make arrangements.

Following Chen Jincheng’s announcement, the stream’s chat erupted into a lively discussion about the three shows. Some viewers were already searching for information about them online.

Chen Jincheng watched the discussions, knowing this would definitely be a trending topic by tomorrow. At that point, iQiyi and Penguin Film and Television would be sure to notice, and he refused to believe they wouldn’t make a move.

It was a direct provocation. Even with the status those two platforms held, it was impossible for them to do nothing in response. Their reputations and positions were on the line.

This was an overt scheme.

He was just waiting for his overt scheme to take effect tomorrow.

Of course, Chen Jincheng had no idea that his scheme had already taken effect—and that it was working extremely well.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a knock at the door. It puzzled him. "Someone’s knocking. I wonder who it could be this late."

The die-hard fans in his chat immediately started teasing him:

"Haha, it’s gotta be a girl."

"Cheng, you really did have a girl over! I knew it! Next, you’re gonna say you’re ending the stream, right?"

"Goes without saying! Next up is ’doing the deed.’ No way he’s gonna let us watch that!"

"You guys are amazing, you totally predicted what Cheng would do."

"..."

Chen Jincheng was left speechless by these comments. "What kind of person do you all take me for? After all this time, you still don’t know I’m single? I’m practically allergic to women! How could I be as shameless as you’re making me out to be?"

’Am I the kind of person who’d ditch my fans and end the stream just to get laid?’

’If I were really planning to get laid, I wouldn’t have started streaming in the first place, alright? My fans wouldn’t have a clue where I was.’

His words were immediately met with a new barrage of roasts from his fans:

"Cheng, if you want to prove your innocence, then don’t end the stream tonight."

"Yeah, stream all night! I’ll stay up with you to prove you’re innocent. I’ll even keep watching while you sleep."

"Haha, you guys are so mean! Aren’t you just trying to ruin Cheng’s fun?"

"The best way to prove you’re innocent is to point the camera at the door, leave the stream on, and let us watch the ’live show’ unfold."

"..."

Seeing the chat get more and more out of hand, Chen Jincheng had no choice but to aim the camera at his door before going to open it.

Today, his conscience was clear, and he had nothing to fear.

He really hadn’t brought a single girl home; he was almost frighteningly well-behaved.

But when he opened the door, he was dumbfounded. Standing outside was Fang Qianyao, dressed in a sexy nightgown.

"Miss Fang, what are you doing here?" Chen Jincheng was baffled. ’Shouldn’t she be on a plane that’s already taken off by now?’

’So why is she here?’

’And more importantly, she’s wearing such a revealing nightgown... you can even faintly see the outline of her lingerie underneath. Could her intentions be any more obvious?’

’Her showing up like this has put me in a really awkward position, hasn’t it?’

’There’s no way I can explain this to my viewers now.’

And sure enough, the moment Fang Qianyao appeared at the door, the viewers in his stream went wild:

"666! Our boy Cheng is still our boy Cheng. So this is what you call ’not having a girl over’?"

"Whoa, surprise bonus content! This girl has a great figure. That nightgown... damn, I’ve got a boner."

"Haha, I just realized, Cheng’s about to host a rule-breaking stream."

"..."

"There was a problem with the plane. It’s undergoing an emergency inspection, so it won’t be flying until tomorrow," Fang Qianyao said in a syrupy-sweet voice, fluttering her eyelashes seductively and looking at him with anticipation. "Mr. Chen, may I come in for a chat?"

"Miss Fang, it might be a bit inconvenient right now," Chen Jincheng said awkwardly. ’With you dressed like that, there’s no way I can explain this to my viewers.’
