Song Zhou wouldn’t dare to disobey Jiang Jingchen’s orders.
He took out his computer and did some color adjustment on their video. He also added the music and a number of special effects.
Before they reached Jiang Jingchen’s villa, Song Zhou had already handed over the finished product. The girls were very pleased.
They uploaded the video with a catchy title.
Jiang Jingchen asked why they suddenly wanted to record such a video.
Ruan Qi immediately showed him Tang Beibei’s dance video. Jiang Jingchen was a little surprised when he saw the video, but he was also proud.
His wife was indeed very charming when she danced. Those who admired her had good taste.
After they had dinner in the villa, Ruan Qi refreshed the post repeatedly to see how many people had viewed it.
Song Zhou wanted to laugh when he saw her nervous expression. “If you want views, you got to have traffic. It’s almost impossible for you to get attention with your first video.”
“Then what should 1 do?”
“That would involve marketing and social media management. It’s quite a lot of content.”
“It’s okay. 1 want to learn.” Ruan Qi stared at him with sparkling eyes.
The man she had taken a fancy to was indeed amazing. He could manage someone’s work and private life, an entire household and understand these things.
She was willing to listen, and Song Zhou was willing to share.
They rested for a while after dinner. Fu Jin sent them a video of the new dance the teacher had taught today. Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi didn’t attend training in the afternoon therefore could only learn from the video.
When the girls went upstairs to the dance studio, Jiang Jingchen took out his phone, logged into one of his alternate accounts and liked their video. He then asked Song Zhou to contact the person in charge of the platform to recommend their video.
After Song Zhou made a phone call, he asked Jiang Jingchen curiously, “Why don’t these two girls just make their debut and become artistes? That would certainly create traffic for their Weibo account.”
Jiang Jingchen frowned holding his chin.
“Become artistes?”
“Tang Beibei can do whatever she wants, and I’ll help her along. It’s not good for me to spoil things by pushing them before they are ready.”
“My wife will never give up on her studies. Medical school is intense. Being an artiste takes too much time. She would have even less time to spend with me if she became an artiste.”
“Young Master is very thoughtful.”
Song Zhou really admired him for thinking about Tang Beibei in everything.
When the two of them came out of the dance studio, Ruan Qi refreshed the page again. When she saw that there were 100,000 likes, she jumped for joy. Oh my god, this is too awesome!
“Beibei, we can record a few more videos.”
Tang Beibei was also very happy to see that other people liked their dance.
The next day, Tang Beibei checked the post again. There were more than a million views and more than 300,000 likes. Most of the comments were about the beautiful scenery, some about the beautiful dancers. Of course, there were also comments that mocked them, which Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi skipped over the moment they saw them.
Ruan Qi said, “I’m not money. I don’t need everyone to like me.”
Tang Beibei nodded in agreement. “Some people don’t like money, but we can only do what we can.”
The two of them recorded another video and got Song Zhou to help with post-production before posting it. Then, the two of them went to Fu Jin’s studio.
As soon as they arrived at the dance studio, everyone looked at Tang Beibei strangely. Some of them even looked at her with hostility.
Tang Beibei was confused. She didn’t do anything, so why was everyone looking at her like that?
When the teacher announced start of training, Tang Beibei just focused on dancing. When the training ended, Fu Jin called out to her.
Tang Beibei was puzzled, but she still got up and followed him to the office.
“Fu Jin, why are you looking for me?”
“The response to your dance video was good. I told you long ago that you have great potential.” Fu Jin praised.
Tang Beibei was embarrassed. “Everyone’s videos are good. The response to Ye Lan’s video is better.”
“Indeed, she has received more attention than you, but in terms of expression, both Teacher Zhang and 1 admire your dance more. What do you think about Teacher Zhang’s invitation to join her dance ensemble?”
He said that with a probing tone, but Tang Beibei was a straightforward person. She would just say what she was thinking.
“Teacher Zhang praised me, but I know that I’m still too inexperienced and need more training, so 1’11 turn down Teacher Zhang’s invitation.”
Fu Jin chuckled. “Beibei, didn’t I remind you when you signed your contract that it’s a slave contract?”
“Hmm?”
“It means that however much 1 invest in you, you have to earn the money back for me.”
“I’ve hired so many teachers to teach the dancers for free; rental for this dance studio, water, electricity, and management fee are all my investments. Do you understand what 1 mean?”
Tang Beibei was stunned. “Yeah, I get it.”
Fu Jin was silent momentarily before he said, “You should perform at the school’s New Year’s Eve party.”
“Oh?”
“I didn’t let you perform at the welcoming party last time because I thought you were too busy with your studies and training. But now that you’ve joined my dance troupe… Consider it a training opportunity when you perform at the New Year’s Eve party. Cherish it.”
“Okay since the captain has spoken.”
Fu Jin’s voice became gentler. “You are unwilling?”
“No, it’s because I’ve never been on stage before. I’m afraid I’ll screw it up.”
Fu Jin leaned forward and looked at her seriously. “Beibei, the more afraid you are, the more you need to overcome it so you can go on bigger stages in future. You’ll have to get used to being on stage.”
“Yes, I’ll do my best. Can Ruan Qi come along?”
“Sure.”
Tang Beibei stood up to bid him farewell. After some thought, she asked, “Fu Jin, why is everyone looking at me strangely today?”
Fu Jin was stunned and laughed at her ignorant look.
“Maybe because you are pretty?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t overthink it. Early stages of your training were mostly in dance. You’ll be getting voice lessons soon. Training will only get more intense. Instead of worrying about nonsense like this, why don’t you focus on getting good results?”
Fu Jin knew what the other students were thinking. Tang Beibei was not a professional dancer, but she got good grades and was even invited by Teacher Zhang to join her dance ensemble. This honor alone would make people jealous and envious.
However, he recognized Tang Beibei’s hard work and wouldn’t interfere.
Because Tang Beibei had to deal with certain things on her own. He could provide his dancers with nourishment, but they would have to walk the path of growth on their own.
Fu Jin watched Tang Beibei leave, thinking that he was luckier than Lu Fan.
Although he couldn’t be with Tang Beibei, he could work with the woman he admired to achieve their shared aspirations. The process alone was something to look forward to.
Back in the training room, Ruan Qi asked Tang Beibei in a low voice what happened, and Tang Beibei told her about the New Year’s Eve party.
Tang Beibei said nervously, “1 must perform well at the New Year’s Eve party. If 1 embarrassed myself in front of the whole school, I’d be too ashamed to face anyone in future.”
Ruan Qi was also looking forward to it. “We must do our best!”
The two of them continued with their dance practice. After two hours, Tang Beibei was stretching on the floor when she heard a loud bang.
She turned her head and saw Ruan Qi on the floor. She stood up in shock.
“Qiqi, Ruan Qi, what happened?”
The other students were also scared out of their wits. Someone asked, “What happened to Ruan Qi? She suddenly fainted. Don’t tell me she’s dead!”
“Shut up!”
Tang Beibei’s eyes were red with anger. She helped Ruan Qi up. Fu Jin ran over when he heard the commotion. Ruan Qi was one of his dancers. If anything happened to her, he would have to bear the responsibility.
Meanwhile, another man was faster than Fu Jin and rushed to Ruan Qi’s side..
