"I think this is a great idea."
The male employee who had just retorted was slapped in the face by a young female intern. Feeling humiliated, he stood up and said to Mu Yiran, "But what if other companies have top-tier celebrities on their front page? We definitely can't compete."
"But isn't this the college entrance examination?"
Mu Yiran raised an eyebrow. "It's not that we can't have celebrities, but we still need to prioritize. For the college entrance examination, the students are the focus."
"And it's just that the initial popularity can't compare; the overall popularity of the short film may be different."
The advertising department also echoed their objections, saying, "But investors determine the investment amount based on the topic and its popularity."
“We don’t have the ability to attract traffic on the cover and homepage, because most netizens nowadays won’t watch the whole short video.”
"Everyone only watches what they want to watch, which is their favorite celebrities."
Mu Yiran nodded: "You're right."
The advertising manager smiled knowingly and said, "Then it's safer to stick with top-tier celebrities. We'll choose from the few highest-paid candidates recommended by the investors..."
"Just choose a student who is even more outstanding than a celebrity."
The advertising manager paused, "What?"
"Celebrities, frankly speaking, are just good-looking. So let's choose the best-looking one among the students." Mu Yiran snapped her fingers.
Just like future admission brochures, people who are good-looking and highly educated, hidden among ordinary students, are more attractive than the top celebrities who frequently appear on the front page.
"Since it's a new platform, there should be some new changes,"
"Besides, aren't today's celebrities among the most outstanding students back then?"
"We identify the future top stars in advance and present them to the public."
Everyone was taken aback by Mu Yiran's idea, but... it made a lot of sense.
"Does Mr. Cheng have any candidates he could consider?"
“The first person that comes to mind is Shi Youxi…” Mu Yiran thought of first.
She fits the bill perfectly in every aspect, and Mu Yiran, who traveled from 2023, knows how appealing a character like that, who only exists in novels, would be.
But Mu Yiran needed to obtain Shi Youxi's consent first.
It's 5 PM now, and Shi Youxi hasn't finished school yet, so it's a good time to pick him up and take him home.
Mu Yiran left work directly under the pretext of going to inspect potential clients, and she also brought some staff members with her.
"I don't even know your name?" Mu Yiran asked, referring to her as "Little Assistant" on WeChat.
The assistant turned her employee badge over, her face beaming with excitement: "My name is Chen Yiting, thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Mu Yiran nodded and handed the keys to the other person. "You go get the car first, I'm going to the restroom."
Mu Yiran walked towards the bathroom, sending a text message to Shi Youxi as she did so.
Unexpectedly, Shi Youxi called directly.
Mu Yiran answered the phone: "Are you done with get out of class?"
The boy's voice was slightly breathless, then he chuckled softly, "Did Auntie miss me?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yiran inexplicably recalled how Shi Youxi would always ask her if she missed him the first thing he asked her when he called her from school when they were children.
"Well, you could say that. I need to come to your school to see you. Is that convenient?"
Mu Yiran wasn't insisting on today, "If it's not possible—"
"Convenient! I'm in a study session, Auntie, please come quickly."
Mu Yiran nodded in agreement and then hung up the phone.
She pushed open a stall door, and just as she pulled up her pants, she heard several people come into the restroom.
"Hey, you were right last time, Assistant Li looks really young. I saw him in the audience today, he looked like a handsome senior from a boys' high school." A girl said.
Mu Yiran frowned: This sister has no taste.
Li Bu Huo does look quite young, but calling him a male high school student would be a bit of an exaggeration.
"Nonsense, otherwise why do you think CEO Cheng is keeping him as a mistress?" another voice said.
Mu Yiran, who was about to open the door and leave: I've gotten myself caught up in this drama...
She immediately pressed her ear against it.
The next second, the girl sneered:
"Don't you know? Mr. Cheng is notorious in the overseas study circle for exclusively taking on underage clients."
They specifically target underage, unmarried women for sexual favors.
Mu Yiran: "............"

...
In a factory building on the outskirts of the Third Ring Road, a boy in a black shirt held a blood-stained steel pipe, his long legs under his black school trousers standing upright in a haphazard crowd.
Shi Si, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pulled out a wet wipe and handed it over.
The boy reached out but didn't take it. Instead, he took out his phone, calmed his breathing, and then answered the call.
Shi Si heard him say excitedly and expectantly, "Auntie, did you miss me?!"
Toki: "..."
Aunt?
Could he be talking to Cheng Ran...?
Before he could react, Shi Youxi had already casually tossed the steel pipe aside and started walking out.
The boy grabbed the back of his collar with one hand and pulled off the blood-stained black shirt.
"I'm in a study session, Auntie, come quick!"
"I'll be waiting for you at school!"
Shi Si, whose face was covered in his shirt: "......"
God's in school!
And what school has students swinging steel rods during self-study periods?!
