He drove home.
Xu Yang couldn’t wait to open his laptop and check his email.
He saw the future development plan for Douyin.
This development plan clarified the future path for Douyin’s growth.
And then there was the list of future internet celebrities.
It was more than just a list, it also detailed how these streamers had become successful.
What surprised Xu Yang was that, on this list of future internet celebrities, he saw a familiar name.
Lin Junyi!
And Lin Junyi was among the super influencers!
This was unexpected for Xu Yang.
Who would have thought?
Lin Junyi could become a super influencer.
Moreover, this was different from the field Lin Junyi was currently in.
When chatting with them, Lin Junyi had positioned himself as an outdoor broadcaster.
That is, whatever interesting things there were, he would livestream or shoot a short video and upload it to the platform.
But the list stated that Lin Junyi, this super influencer, wasn’t an outdoor broadcaster, but a food broadcaster.
Lin Junyi had not yet found his niche and would soon discover that he wasn’t cut out for outdoor broadcasting, and after switching to the food domain, he would become a super influencer.
Once a guild is acquired, Xu Yang would definitely sign Lin Junyi.
Such a future super influencer must not be missed.
In an apartment.
A young couple snuggled together.
“Honey, do you think when Jiang Yuheng comes over later, will he be alone? If he brings someone, we won’t be able to proceed with today’s plan,” the man said with some anxiety.
“He’ll definitely come alone. He’s coming to see me, his girlfriend, how could he possibly bring someone else?” the woman asserted confidently.
“That’s good. Today we’re going to be rich, and after we get the money, we’ll go abroad and never come back. No one will be able to do anything to us,” the man was overjoyed.
“Yeah, yeah, we’ll always be together, never apart again,” the woman said with a face full of happiness.
“Yes, never apart,” the man smiled, then cautioned, “But you’ll need to be careful later, don’t give us away, or if it doesn’t work out, we’ll both end up behind bars.”
The woman reassured him, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. It’ll be easy to get him to have some water; he always asks for water whenever he comes over.”
The man teased, “Is it because after drinking water, he ends up getting busy with you?”
“Stop it!” The woman playfully punched the man in the chest, “Don’t talk about that. If you had come to me sooner, would I still be his girlfriend?”
The man explained, “I had no choice. When choosing schools, I had to listen to my parents. Fortunately, I’ve graduated now, and I can make my own decisions. As soon as I found out you were in Jiangcheng, I came to you right away.”
The two individuals were a couple. The woman was Jiang Yuheng’s girlfriend, named Ye Jingjing.
The man’s name was Liang Yurui.
The two had been lovers in high school.
After graduating from high school, they went to different universities in different cities, far apart from each other.
Naturally, their high school relationship came to an end without any drama.
After graduating, Liang Yurui faced a lot of difficulties in his career.
A month ago, Liang Yurui learned that Ye Jingjing was in Jiangcheng and seemed to be doing well in life and work.
Thus, Liang Yurui thought of relying on Ye Jingjing.
He managed to get Ye Jingjing’s phone number through high school classmates and contacted her, expressing his enduring love and desire to reunite with Ye Jingjing.
Ye Jingjing was now the girlfriend of Jiang Yuheng, the wealthy second-generation heir, and naturally, she was no longer interested in her ex-boyfriend, Liang Yurui.
However, upon learning that Ye Jingjing’s boyfriend was a wealthy second-generation heir, and not just any but the most impressive one in Jiangcheng, Liang Yurui didn’t back down. Instead, he successfully persuaded Ye Jingjing to get back together with him by using this information.
Just like that, Liang Yurui came to Jiangcheng and rekindled his relationship with Ye Jingjing.
The two of them even conspired to kidnap Jiang Yuheng, demanding a ransom from Jiang Yuheng’s father before planning to flee the country and lead a carefree life.
As for their parents, they never intended to bother with them in the first place.
After all, in their opinion, as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
“If he doesn’t drink the water, I’ll get him to go to the bedroom. Then you can catch him off guard and knock him out,” Ye Jingjing said.
“Let’s do that. We must settle it today and get the money,” Liang Yurui said.
As they were talking, they heard a knock on the door.
“It must be Jiang Yuheng. You go hide in the bedroom first,” Ye Jingjing whispered.
“Okay, I’ll go hide in the bedroom,” Liang Yurui said with a chuckle, kissing Ye Jingjing before heading into the bedroom.
Ye Jingjing stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, and then went to open the door, where she saw Jiang Yuheng standing.
“My dear, you’re here,” Ye Jingjing exclaimed with delight as she pulled Jiang Yuheng into the room and closed the door.
“You said you weren’t feeling well earlier; do you feel better now?” Jiang Yuheng asked as he sat down and pulled Ye Jingjing into his arms.
“I’m better now. I just missed you. You haven’t come to see me for several days,” Ye Jingjing said with a pitiful look.
“It’s all my fault. I’ve been a bit busy these days and didn’t have time to come over,” Jiang Yuheng replied.
“You’re working for your family’s business, what could be so busy? I think you just don’t care about me,” Ye Jingjing said coquettishly.
“How could that be? I’ve really been busy. I’ve told you about it, haven’t I? My dad is the chairman of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and recently, the member companies are setting up an investment fund. My dad wants to train me by putting me in charge of this. It’s been crazy,” Jiang Yuheng explained.
What he said was the truth; he had been busy with this matter recently.
“Alright, I forgive you,” Ye Jingjing said, moving away from Jiang Yuheng’s embrace to pour him a glass of water.
The cup already had pre-mixed powdered drug that dissolved upon contact with water.
“Thirsty, aren’t you? Have some water first,” Ye Jingjing said as she placed the water in front of Jiang Yuheng.
“Actually, I am a bit thirsty,” Jiang Yuheng said, picking up the cup and downing the water in one gulp.
With Xu Yang’s warning in mind, he was somewhat cautious of Ye Jingjing but didn’t think drinking some water would cause any harm.
Besides, he was prepared.
Even if there was something wrong, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Ye Jingjing certainly couldn’t plan to poison him to death.
Seeing Jiang Yuheng drink the water, a pleased glint flashed in Ye Jingjing’s eyes.
Now, it was going to be easy.
“Do you want more?” Ye Jingjing asked.
This question was for Liang Yurui, who was hiding in the bedroom, to let him know Jiang Yuheng had drunk the water.
“No need,” Xu Yang said, shaking his head, then suddenly feeling dizzy and weak.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Yuheng pounded his own head with his hand.
“Haha, let me tell you what’s happening,” Liang Yurui, knowing Xu Yang had drunk the water and was now utterly defenseless, emerged from the bedroom.
“Who are you?” Xu Yang’s expression darkened, and he remembered Xu Yang’s warning.
“Haha, I’ll let you know who I am soon enough,” Liang Yurui laughed, sitting down beside Ye Jingjing and wrapping his arm around her waist to plant a fierce kiss on her, “Now you know who I am, right?”
“Ye Jingjing, you’ve been fooling around with another man behind my back!” Jiang Yuheng clenched his teeth with sheer rage, his face growing darker as his anger reached its peak.
