Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Far Exceeded Expectations!

During those seven days, he thought he had completely escaped from that chaotic and terrifying state.

But now it seemed he hadn’t.

Why was he so useless?

If Jiang Li found out, she would definitely despise him.

Jiang Shixu had already taken out the box of sleeping pills.

Looking at the two small white pills lying inside, his eyes fiercely stirred.

After struggling for a while, he put the pills back and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.

The villa was eerily quiet in the early morning, and it felt even colder following the departure of Jiang Li and Jiang Yan.

Barefoot, Jiang Shixu walked into the kitchen and blankly opened the refrigerator.

He really missed the meals Jiang Li cooked.

Unfortunately, the housekeeper couldn’t replicate that taste, so he hadn’t eaten much that day.

Jiang Li’s parting words echoed in his ears, and despite having no appetite, Jiang Shixu forcefully searched through the refrigerator.

Eventually, he picked a sandwich that looked decent.

The moment he took it out, a piece of paper fell to the floor.

The instant he saw the handwriting on it, Jiang Shixu recognized it as Jiang Li’s since it was identical to the writing she had displayed in her live streaming room.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bent down to pick up the piece of paper.

The delicate and clear characters then came into his view.

“If you can’t sleep, go to my room. I’ve left something for you—Jiang Li.”

Jiang Shixu’s heart started to throb violently.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran up the stairs.

Jiang Li’s room door wasn’t locked and he easily opened it.

The moment the light switched on, he saw the interior.

It was classically elegant, every corner exceedingly refined with an incense burner and brush-ink-paper-inkstone set on the desk, and even the walls were adorned with landscape paintings.

It was clearly meticulously arranged by her.

The moment he stepped in, Jiang Shixu suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief and pleasure.

The next second, his gaze fixed on the small red velvet box placed beside the incense burner.

That must be what Jiang Li had left for him.

Upon opening it, he found a small cassette tape.

Jiang Shixu went back to his room and rummaged for a long time before finding a dusty tape recorder in a corner.

After inserting the tape, a melodious piece of music flowed out.

It was the sound of a Guqin.

Although it was the most melodiously elegant instrument, Jiang Li played it as though it mimicked the rushing rivers and the setting sun over a myriad of streams.

Every note burst with an unusual sense of power.

Jiang Shixu was astounded.

This piece of music, like her entire persona, was radiant and powerful.

It instantly pulled him from his muddled world.

Could the infective power of music really be this strong?

Accompanied by the sounds of the Guqin, Jiang Shixu finished the entire sandwich, and then obediently went to lie down on his bed.

Jiang Li had gone to great lengths to prepare all this for him.

Then he must not fail to appreciate her kindness!

Xingmei Entertainment.

It was already past midnight, but the conference room at Xingmei Entertainment was still brightly lit.

Several department heads sat around the conference table, each with an excited and enthusiastic expression on their face.

And their gaze was focused on He Wen, who was vividly reporting her work.

“…. The data for ‘Flash Change’ from the first day is already out. So far, the total number of people in the live stream has surpassed 250,000, with clicks reaching 400,000, and the retention rate has also reached 62.5%.”

“Additionally, today our program has appeared in 25 hot search terms, official blog hits and reads have both broken 100,000, and interactions have also reached tens of thousands.”

“Overall, this is a very impressive opening success!”

He Wen grew more and more excited as she spoke.

Today’s live streaming data had completely surpassed their expectations.

They had already prepared for the worst, thinking that it would be quite good if the number of online users could break 10,000.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li’s live stream alone had already reached over 100,000 users.

The head of the planning department also raised his hand.

“Also, also, of the 25 hot searches Sister Wen mentioned, 20 were related to Jiang Li. Clearly, the audience is particularly interested in her, so we can focus on her going forward.”

Since Shen Lan and He Wen had not publicly disclosed Jiang Li’s identity, the whole program team including their company didn’t know that Jiang Li was actually Shen Lan’s niece.

They had simply considered her and Jiang Yan as emergency fill-ins that Shen Lan had pulled in.

But they hadn’t expected these two seemingly unremarkable rescues to bring them the highest exposure.

They had already prepared hot search announcements, but they hadn’t been needed at all, as Jiang Li single-handedly did what their entire PR team was supposed to do.

The head of the client department also excitedly said, “Moreover, our company’s business phones have almost been blown up by advertisers today, a bunch of brand partners are rushing to collaborate with us, so we shouldn’t have to worry about funding for the foreseeable future.”

Shen Lan listened to everything and finally nodded in satisfaction. @@novelbin@@

Even she hadn’t expected that Jiang Li would really succeed.

And her performance even made her, her aunt, reconsider her.

“Well done, tomorrow you should carefully select the brands that we can collaborate with, contact Director Sun about the guest endorsements, and handle the coordination. You guys will have quite the workload,” Shen Lan said to the head of the client department.

“Other departments as well, although we have achieved great results, we must not let our guard down.”

“Understood, Mr. Shen!”

As the people in the meeting room left and He Wen, who had cleaned up, headed directly toward Shen Lan.

She rested a hand on her shoulder and sighed deeply.

“With such great results, why do you still look so worried? Why put so much pressure on yourself as a woman?”

Shen Lan gave a helpless smile, “What woman? My son is already 17, I’m a middle-aged woman.”

He Wen pulled a face, “Which middle-aged woman looks like you? I’d believe it if you said you had just graduated from college.”

Then she nudged Shen Lan a bit and lowered her voice, “Hey, has Brother Ming Yu contacted you recently?”

Hearing this name, Shen Lan’s expression immediately turned cold.

She stood up from her chair and moved her arms before slowly saying, “He’s still the same. I can’t be bothered with him.”

“Really? You don’t miss him at all? Aren’t you afraid he might find someone new in America? After all, Brother Ming Yu used to—”

“That’s enough.” Shen Lan furrowed her brows and interrupted her, admonishing, “Every day with you, always talking. Just go back and rest, you need to work overtime tomorrow.”

“Alright, alright, if you don’t want to listen, I’ll stop. You should rest early too, don’t let me find out you’ve collapsed before you’ve completed your bet.”

The meeting room door closed again, leaving Shen Lan alone.

She took out her phone, swiped through her contacts, and ultimately stopped at “Jiang Mingyu”.

After a moment’s hesitation, she swiped past it, then opened Jiang Shixu’s contact.

However…

Shen Lan paused.

The moment the dial tone sounded, she hung up the phone.

It was already past one o’clock, that child must have been asleep by now.

It was better not to disturb him.
