Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

“Fame isn’t good? Look at those female internet celebrities Wen Bao has been nurturing on the forums recently, dressing more and more daringly, pushing the limits with their attire, finding new ways to gain fame every day.” After muttering to herself, Su Nai sat down in her chair.

“Wen Bao actually indulged in such corrupt and degenerate activities? What’s the ID, send it to me, I need to warn them as their boss.” Jiang Qin banged the table, his face red with anger.

Just having finished his meal, Dong Wenbao entered the office and overheard their conversation: “Boss, Su Nai doesn’t have the ID, let me send it to you. Please sternly warn them.”

“Stop yapping, send it quickly. I can hardly hold back my swear words!” Jiang Qin stood up furiously.

“Alright boss, right away!”

A minute later, Jiang Qin received ten account IDs. He quickly accessed them through the backend management system, enabling him to view not only the published content but also some private and unpublished drafts.

This was the advantage of having administrative privileges.

In the internet era, all information was transparent. If you surfed the web, it was like you weren’t wearing any clothes.

Jiang Qin was about to delete these degenerate contents but accidentally clicked ‘save’ instead.

He shook his head but didn’t bother to find and delete the saved photos from his local storage. The photos weren’t at fault, and there was no need to be overly harsh. Moreover, it’s good to leave some leeway for future encounters.

After repeatedly viewing these ‘fame-seeking contents,’ Jiang Qin couldn’t help but sigh.

He wasn’t sure if Dong Wenbao understood content incubation or still harbored dreams of being a literary figure. However, he knew that Wenbao certainly understood men.

The development of the internet had always been like this. Many well-known, legitimate websites initially grew by skirting the edges of acceptability.

Why? Because professional and high-quality content had viewing barriers, but pervy content did not.

Some people liked basketball, others didn’t. So even if you had an amazing video of a whirlwind slam dunk, those uninterested in basketball wouldn’t watch it.

But ‘pervy’ content was different. Everyone loved it.

And even if it was just a bit of ‘pervy’ content, even if the content is the same, it could make people watch it repeatedly!

So this kind of edgy content was the easiest to attract users and had the lowest cost. You didn’t even need to buy any equipment, not even needing to wear clothes.

Later, when the site grew bigger, and there were enough users and followers, they gradually cleaned up their act, turning around to bite back, forbidding ‘pervy’ content.

“Boss, the boss lady is here.” Su Nai suddenly came over with a cup, saying lightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qin quickly closed the forum, glanced at a report on the table, and then realized he had been tricked; the little rich lady wasn’t there.

“Su Nai, you’ve been quite mischievous lately?” Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows.

Su Nai returned with a cup of hot water, couldn’t help but snort coldly: “Men really are no good.”

“Heh, talking like that, huh? Then I’ll change the password right now.”

Jiang Qin opened a video website, about to change the password, only to find his membership had expired that morning. He was puzzled: “Su Nai, why didn’t you remind me about the membership expiry?”

“I’ve quit.” Su Nai replied coldly.

“Why?”

“Because I watched a video last night. A girl cried, saying ‘you can film, because I really love you, but please don’t show it to anyone else, okay?’ The guy said ‘sure, darling, don’t be scared.’”

Su Nai drank water with a serious expression: “It’s meaningless, truly meaningless. They’re ruining love, and I won’t watch it anymore.”

Jiang Qin released the mouse: “Then I won’t renew it.”

“Right, don’t renew. Let’s be good people together. Without buying, there’s no killing.”

Dong Wenbao was confused listening to their conversation, wondering what on earth they were talking about. “Is the website you’re talking about ours? I’m the head of the content team, but why haven’t I seen what you all have?”

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the door. Professor Yan, Cao Xinyue, Hong Yan, and Tang Lin all walked in.

They expertly bypassed the office area and quickly sat down in the same spots they occupied last winter.

Passing by Jiang Qin’s desk, Hong Yan even took a fruit candy, placing it on his desk.

“What’s this situation?” Jiang Qin was baffled.

Professor Yan unfolded a newspaper across from him: “It’s too hot, and I’m too old to bear it.”

“?”

Jiang Qin looked up at the air conditioner blowing cool air, his expression became intriguing: “Really, Professor Yan, your office has air conditioning too. Do you need to come here to enjoy ours?”

Cao Xinyue coughed: “The school pays for the electricity in the main office, and Professor Yan doesn’t want to use it too much, to avoid seeming indulgent. But it’s different here. The air conditioning is always on, so a few more people working doesn’t make a difference.”

“Wow, Professor Yan, you really are virtuous!” Jiang Qin was astonished, thinking the professor had really lost his principles.

“No need for such polite words, I’m just doing what I should.” Professor Yan waved his hand and then looked up: “By the way, Linchuan TV broadcasted news about you, what do you think?”

Jiang Qin paused, his expression becoming serious again: “I don’t think it’s a good thing. Pintuan’s brand value hasn’t maximized yet, and our competitive resistance is too low. Once capital enters, I might end up regretting it in the northwest.”

“……”

Professor Yan brought up the topic intending to advise him to be low-key, but didn’t expect he had already considered this. For a moment, the old professor’s gaze was filled with surprise.

The business world is a battleground for fame and fortune, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, one is especially susceptible to the allure of wealth and reputation.

Take the students in school, for example. With a little money in hand, they hardly know how to spend it wisely, often splurging on meals or showing off a new smartphone.

Then there’s someone like Jiang Qin, who has managed to expand his business throughout the city, walking as if he wishes his feet would never touch the ground.

But what he never expected was Jiang Qin’s ability to remain so composed. Not only is he unaffected by temptation, but he has also recognized the dangers that come with fame.

This requires more than just a calm demeanor. Even the most composed people can be swayed by the allure of fame and fortune. To manage this balance so well requires a vision that’s far-reaching.

Professor Yan had only five words to say about this: he’s really something.

“It’s right of you to think this way. The capital market always targets the most prominent figures. If you can remain hidden, you definitely should.”

“Then Professor, do you think I can still keep a low profile?” Jiang Qin poured him a cup of tea.

Professor Yan shook his head, “I think even if you keep a low profile, it won’t be for long.”

“Then I must find a way to keep it up. Even if I’m exposed, Pintuan must remain hidden, especially not too soon.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’m thinking of using Zhihu as a shield for Pintuan.” Jiang Qin revealed his decision.

Professor Yan was silent for a moment. Though not knowing his specific plans, he was relieved to know that Jiang had something in mind. “I’m still curious, how do you resist the urge to… to… what’s the word?”

Tang Lin immediately raised her hand: “Show off!”

“Right, you’ve already achieved such impressive results. Even in the whole city, just showing your face would surely attract a lot of attention. But at your age, how do you resist it?”

“Professor, to be honest, sometimes I can’t resist. Who doesn’t like to show off? So when I can’t hold back, I do it on a small scale, like with classmates, roommates, the student union president. It gives me almost the same pleasure without causing any negative impact. It’s a win-win.”

Professor Yan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: “That’s why it has to be you!”

“Thank you, thank you.” Jiang Qin was extremely modest.

As the evening approached, Jiang Qin returned to his dormitory, his mind still pondering the ‘Hidden Sword Plan’.

That’s right, since Pintuan was the sharpest weapon in his arsenal, and its marketing tie-up with Wanzhong Mall was known as the ‘Bright Sword Operation’, this phase of staying low-key can naturally be termed the ‘Hidden Sword Plan’.

Damn, being famous is really troublesome!

The more Jiang Qin delved into the details, the more headache he felt. So he quickly returned to his dormitory, planning to watch “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” to ease his mind.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Cao Guangyu shouting excitedly.

“Old Jiang, you’re just in time. I’m going to be famous!”

“?”

Seeing Jiang Qin’s puzzled look, Cao Guangyu immediately opened a message on his computer.

The message, written by Dong Wenbao, was about a plan to promote internet celebrities across provinces.

The message was straightforward, stating that Cao Guangyu’s “Unremarkable Young Master Cao” had been selected as one of Zhihu’s top ten quality contents. They planned to fund him, hoping he would continue to shine and become a star of the forum.

“Old Jiang, although Zhihu is yours, I am the brightest star in the entire forum.” Cao Guangyu was immensely proud.

“Awesome.” Jiang Qin couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

Cao Guangyu smirked: “The internet is just like that, like in movies. No one cares about the director; everyone only chases after the protagonist!”

“Ah, right, right, right!”

“Are you jealous?”

Jiang Qin rubbed his temples: “Not jealous, just a bit of a headache.”

Cao Guangyu immediately smirked: “Jealous to the point of a headache?”

“No, it’s Linchuan TV wanting to interview me, Linchuan Finance Newspaper wanting to visit me at school, and Linchuan Youth Daily, Linchuan People’s Life… all begging to see me, but I don’t want to go, and I don’t know how to refuse.”

“……”

Cao Guangyu stiffened for three seconds, then glared fiercely at him: “Old Jiang, we’re brothers. I warn you, don’t mess with me when I’m showing off!”

Jiang Qin spat at him, thinking, ‘If you don’t want to mess with me, can I mess with you?’ Then he turned to watch “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.”

Just then, his email received a notification. Opening it, he saw that his membership on a certain video website had been renewed, expiring on June 17th, ten years later.

?????

Jiang Qin paused, thinking about who he had lent his membership to. It seemed no one else but Su Nai.

Well, the good deeds of this female programmer just lasted half a day, huh? Was it the end of her time of wisdom?

Damn, ‘pervy’ content is indeed unbeatable. To push the forum across provinces, it seems we can’t do without it!
