Upon hearing this, Sally raised an eyebrow slightly: "President Yin, you seem to care quite a bit about Xiaoyu. Could it be... that you've taken a liking to her?"

Yin Chengjue frowned slightly: "Don't talk nonsense. He's an artist in our company, so of course I have to think about him."

Sally's face was full of disbelief: "Come on, we have so many artists in our company, and we've never seen you take such good care of them. You even went to be their backup dancer."

Sally laughed: "Don't think I didn't recognize who that masked young man everyone on the internet is looking for is, Mr. Yin. I've watched you grow up."

Yin Chengjue: "...Don't women generally dislike revealing their age?"

Sally: "..." Should she deny her age or her gender?

Yin Chengjue didn't give Sally a chance to lash out, and said, "Rong Yu has great potential. I won't let go of a promising talent. I believe you can see that too."

“That’s true, Xiaoyu is indeed a promising talent. The other day, Tony sent me his new advertising video, and I immediately booked the perfume.” Sally laughed, “President Yin, we’ve really struck gold.”

Yin Chengjue raised his chin with pride: "Mm!"

"I heard from Linlin that the variety show she wrote and directed will be broadcast in three days. We can start organizing some pre-release promotion. Does President Yin have any special ideas?"

Yin Chengjue tapped the table with his fingertip: "I wouldn't call it an idea. Let Linlin edit a trailer and release it first, then let those young masters repost it themselves. This will generate much more buzz than paying online trolls to buy trending topics."

After all, they have variety shows they've joined, and those young masters aren't short of money, so of course they don't mind promoting themselves and inviting their friends to come and watch.

Even without buying trending topics, the show's popularity after airing won't be too dismal.

Sally immediately understood Yin Chengjue's meaning and smiled, "You're so thoughtful. Let's do it this way. I'll go and discuss it with that girl. This is our Xiaoyu's first variety show. If it's done well, it will definitely bring him a lot of popularity."

Qin Linlin was very efficient. That same evening, she released a promotional trailer for the variety show "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark," along with promotional photos of the two comedians and the famous host, and tagged their Weibo accounts.

Half an hour later, Rong Yu's promotional photos were released, attracting Rong Yu's fans as well.

Apart from these three people, everyone else was a black silhouette, which sparked endless speculation among the onlookers, who wondered which other guests had been invited to the new variety show.

Qin Linlin's post-production team was clearly very experienced, editing the trailer for "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" into a thrilling spectacle. They even specifically chose to edit in their screams, the sound of running in the corridor, and their rapid breathing. Combined with the hotel background and the deliberately flashing lighting effects, it didn't look like an entertainment variety show, but rather a horror adventure.

This kind of preview quickly attracted a lot of casual viewers, raising their expectations for the new variety show.

Of course, what surprised passersby even more was that most of the rich kids in City A shared the variety show trailer. Although the captions were all very official, such as "looking forward to the broadcast," they were already eye-catching enough to make people's curiosity about the show reach its peak.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" aired on the KuBao Video APP at 8 pm sharp.

Yin Chengjue was already waiting in front of the computer.

Unfortunately, Rong Yu is currently in closed training for his debut stage play and can't watch it with him. Otherwise, Yin Chengjue would like to have a video call with Rong Yu.

He didn't stay until the end of the show because of Feng Chengda's situation. Later, when he asked Qin Linlin again, that girl wouldn't tell him and told him to wait patiently for the broadcast.

Yin Chengjue wasn't in a hurry, so he could only wait.

We've finally waited for this moment.

In the end, who is the winner? Is it Rong Yu, the "murderer," who takes on six opponents single-handedly, or are the players on the other two quest lines completing their main quests?

As the opening sequence ended, the screen showed an empty living room. Then, the door to the living room was pushed open, and Liu Qingling and Yang Ji walked in together. After looking around, they joked with each other, and their humorous words caused a barrage of "haha" comments to appear on the screen.

Soon, the door was pushed open again, and Hua Yun, Wei Shu, Xiao Xiao, and Qin Ke walked in one after another.

Although these young masters frequently attended various balls and social events, they never appeared on the silver screen.

The screen was silent for a moment, then quickly erupted with a cacophony of questions.

Wow! So many handsome young men of all shapes and sizes! Are they celebrities? How come I've never seen them before? Am I just ignorant?

—Um, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like that handsome guy with glasses looks a lot like the eldest son of the Hua family.

—Haha, the person upstairs must have misread it. Hua Yun is a young master, why would he participate in a variety show? Does he lack that little bit of money?

Before the comment could even be scrolled past, Hua Yun's self-introduction began.

"Hello, Teacher Liu! Hello, Teacher Yang! I'm Hua Yun, this is Wei Shu..."

—No way! It really is Young Master Hua!

—Not only that! The guy next to him also seems to be a rich second-generation heir! What's going on with this variety show?! Why did they invite a bunch of rich kids?!

— Nine times out of ten they're here to have fun, just wanting to experience being a star when they're bored.

Ugh! Why worry about all that? Just enjoy looking at the handsome guys!

After introducing themselves, three more figures appeared in the shot: Yin Chengjue, Rong Yu, and Lei Miao, who arrived last.

Yin Chengjue has been appearing on trending searches quite frequently lately. Everyone has seen his face before, but most of them are photos downloaded from Yin's official website. Seeing him in person on screen for the first time has once again caused a stir in the comments section.

—What's the deal with this variety show?! Even Eun Seung-jue is on it?

Wait a minute! Isn't the main point that Yin Chengjue is actually so handsome? He's way more handsome than in the photos on the official website!

The nine players arrived one after another. Qin Linlin's voice came from outside the camera, telling them to leave together and get on the bus that had been prepared outside.

Filming continued, and on the bus, netizens' questions were quickly answered.

The camera suddenly switched to Yin Chengjue, who was talking to Liu Qingling about how the show's budget was limited. They were the only two guests they had paid to invite, while Rong Yu, being a newly signed artist, was there to make up the numbers.

Seeing the bewildered faces of Liu Qingling and Yang Ji, the live chat instantly erupted into a sea of ​​laughter.

—So true! There's only one answer to the mystery: the production team can't afford to hire popular celebrities, so they can only fool those bored young masters who love to have fun into coming to make up the numbers.

—And they still couldn't gather enough people, so as a last resort, Mr. Yin, as an investor, had to step in himself, hahaha.

The show had only been airing for a few minutes when its popularity skyrocketed, not only because of the public's curiosity about Yin Chengjue and the guest lineup, but also because of the appeal of those rich second-generation guys.

This live streaming app also includes an additional tipping mechanism, somewhat similar to some platforms that tip live streamers. However, enabling this tipping permission requires real-name authentication. Only real-name authenticated adult accounts, whose account conditions meet the tipping requirements, can tip.

The website has very strict requirements for tipping. One ID card can only register one account with tipping function (accounts registered through other means do not have tipping function and can only send bullet comments and watch videos). This is to prevent some minors from making irrational consumption. Moreover, if the amount of tipping exceeds a certain amount in a short period of time, the website will automatically freeze the account's funds for 24 hours. During this period, tipping is not allowed, and refunds are allowed within 24 hours.

Of course, if the website detects that the account has refunded too many times, it will be deemed untrustworthy and the account's tipping function will be permanently canceled.

Under such restrictions, the amount of money people give as tips is not very large, or most of the time it is just sending bullet comments.

Especially for newly released variety shows like this, there aren't many fans who follow them; people just watch them for the novelty.

So, when they were amidst all the complaints, they were momentarily stunned when they suddenly saw a multitude of fireworks and bombs exploding on the screen.

Who is so rich that they start throwing money around just a few minutes into the show?

But then they suddenly realized, ah! It must be those young masters who participated in the show! They don't need this little bit of tip money at all!

Even if this variety show is terrible, with these walking money bags, why worry about not having enough popularity? Even if it's just through donations, it can still generate a lot of buzz.

The onlookers sighed inwardly, then continued watching.

The conversation on the bus had ended, and the production team had them put on blindfolds before leading them into a rather old-looking hotel.

The camera panned forward, showing the group of people being led inside by staff who then exited one by one, before the door clicked shut.

Faced with an unseen situation, the nine people remained relatively calm, with some of the young masters even appearing quite interested.

As Qin Linlin's voice rang out, the rules of the game were finally revealed.

The nine people were divided into three groups, each with its own mission line, and they were in competition with each other.

This means that cooperation will face risks.

Some viewers were still caught off guard when they saw how the characters disposed of their bodies in all sorts of bizarre ways after reviewing their own missions.

—I don't quite understand, why ruin your own questline? Shouldn't you be taking this opportunity to find your teammates?

— Duh! Have you ever played Werewolf? If you don't reveal your hand, you can wear other people's clothes. But if you reveal your hand, it's like you're going to be eliminated. People from other mission lines will do everything they can to stop you from completing your mission!
