The butterfly effect triggered by Caiying's commercial was still intensifying.
Without exaggeration, the entire internet was swept up in a wave of searching for Liu Mingrui's true identity.
But no matter how heated the discussions online became, not a single person on the entire internet could reveal Liu Mingrui's detailed identity. They didn't even know her real name.
This made Liu Mingrui's identity even more mysterious online.
Within half a day, posts seeking Liu Mingrui filled every platform across the internet.
At the same time, as people searched for Liu Mingrui, they couldn't help but mention "Caiying" as well. Caiying's name became widely known along with this wave.
While the online frenzy continued, in the Zhenhua Beauty office:
"What... what exactly is going on? Who is this female model?" General Manager Huang Yuan stared at the Caiying commercial on his computer screen, his eyes as wide as saucers and his mouth agape.
He was completely shocked and confused.
He knew Caiying was going to shoot a commercial, but at the time he thought that with Caiying's financial resources, they couldn't possibly hire a famous model.
In fact, Caiying indeed hadn't hired a famous model, but rather an unknown woman!
Yet this unknown woman had caused massive waves across the internet!
Both Zhenhua and Caiying were local companies in the magical city, and although their strengths differed greatly in various aspects, they were only well-known locally in the magical city.
However, as soon as Caiying's commercial appeared, netizens across the country learned Caiying's name!
For Caiying, this was like soaring straight up to the heavens!
"Mr. Huang, you called for me." At this moment, Sun Wei quickly walked into the office.
Huang Yuan immediately waved Sun Wei over to the computer, pointing at the commercial on the screen and gritting his teeth: "The entire internet is now looking for the female lead in Caiying's commercial, and Caiying's reputation keeps expanding. What should we do?!"
"This..." Sun Wei was stunned.
How would he know what to do? He was just a product manager before. If you asked him about beauty products, he'd know more than anyone, but about this? He had no idea.
Seeing Sun Wei speechless for a long time, Huang Yuan frowned and urged, "Say something!"
"Didn't you say Caiying would definitely go bankrupt within a month? Now Caiying's popularity has skyrocketed instantly. Forget about a month, they might not even go bankrupt in a year!"
Sun Wei swallowed hard, his eyes darting left and right, his mind racing to think of a viable solution.
Finally, his eyes lit up as an idea struck him: "Let's hire that female model to shoot our commercial too. No, let's make her our spokesperson directly. Whatever price Caiying is paying her, we'll double it!"
Huang Yuan blinked, pursed his lips, thought for a moment, then lit a cigarette and said, "Good, you find a way to contact that female model."
Sun Wei was taken aback: "Me? How can I..."
Before he could finish, Huang Yuan narrowed his eyes and interrupted, "You have so many former colleagues at Caiying, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish this, right?"
Facing Huang Yuan's slightly displeased gaze, Sun Wei felt a moment of confusion.
Before this, Huang Yuan had always addressed him respectfully, if not treating him like an honored guest, at least with great respect.
But now, Huang Yuan was suddenly ordering him around like a superior?
Just because he couldn't handle this one thing? Surely that wasn't enough reason. Who could have imagined Caiying would find such a perfect sex symbol?
Sun Wei couldn't understand why.
But actually, it was quite simple.
Huang Yuan had always believed that Sun Wei would help him eliminate Caiying, which was why he had been so respectful towards him.
But now it was clear he couldn't accomplish this, so naturally Huang Yuan reasserted his authority as a superior.
To put it in simpler terms:
If you have value to me, I'll treat you as an equal partner. If you have no value, then be a good dog and obey me.
Obviously, Sun Wei hadn't realized this at all.
...
Meanwhile, in Su Qianmo's office.
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Chenan was scrolling through Weibo on his phone. Seeing the frenzy of people desperately trying to find out Liu Mingrui's identity, he felt a sense of pride.
For a moment, he even thought about secretly taking a photo of Liu Mingrui and posting it online, then enjoying the adoration and questions from netizens as an insider.
Although he didn't do that, the feeling of pride lingered for a long time.
Any man would feel a sense of satisfaction if his woman caused such a commotion on the internet, right?
"What are you grinning about?" Beside him, Liu Mingrui rolled her eyes at Gu Chenan, who kept smiling stupidly while playing with his phone.
"This," Gu Chenan waved his phone in front of Liu Mingrui and said, "You've become famous. Can't I be happy for you?"
"Hmph." Liu Mingrui crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa, pouting, "The people in your world are terrifying. It's like they're ready to dig three feet into the ground to find me."
Gu Chenan shrugged and said, "It's not that the people in our world are terrifying. It's that your and Qianmo's looks and figures are completely overwhelming to the people in our world."
"Seeing you naturally leaves them awestruck."
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui suddenly smiled and took Gu Chenan's arm, asking, "What about you?"
"Me?" Gu Chenan asked, confused. "What about me?"
"Were you awestruck when you saw me?" Liu Mingrui grinned.
"Hmm..." Gu Chenan thought for a moment and said, "Of course. The first time I traveled to your world, I nearly had a nosebleed when I saw you and Qianmo."
"The first time?" Liu Mingrui noticed something odd in Gu Chenan's words and pressed, "You mean there was a second time?"
"Yes," Gu Chenan nodded. "You all know about the second time."
"What about the first time?" Liu Mingrui asked curiously.
Gu Chenan shrugged: "Lin Yu cut me off."
"Eww~" Liu Mingrui made a disgusted face and said, "How lame."
"You!" Gu Chenan froze, then shook his head helplessly. "Whether in the novel or in reality, you're the scum of the earth!"
As Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui were bantering, Su Qianmo's phone suddenly rang as she was reviewing documents at her desk.
"Shh." She made a gesture for Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui to be quiet, then answered the phone.
"Hello, is this CEO Su from Caiying?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes, this is she. May I ask who's calling?"
The woman on the other end paused for a moment before saying, "It's like this. We are from Aile Entertainment Company in the magical city. We'd like to inquire about the contact information for the female lead in your company's commercial. Of course, if our company signs a contract with that actress, we will pay you a substantial referral fee."
Hearing this, Su Qianmo raised an eyebrow and covered the phone, saying to Gu Chenan, "Chenan, come here for a moment."
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
