Ye Zhi was startled. Wasn't this perfect timing?
Since Qin Yuhan asked, it might as well be a favor for Cen Ya.
"If it were me, there would be quite a few ways to solve it," Ye Zhi said, looking up at Jiang Ke Wei. "Right now, an opportunity has presented itself. I'll give you a contact number. Yuhan, he'll explain the specifics to you."
"Alright," Qin Yuhan agreed.
Soon, Ye Zhi explained the situation to Jiang Ke Wei. Upon learning that Qin Yuhan was Cen Ya's friend, Jiang Ke Wei contacted Qin Yuhan, explained the situation, and hoped Qin Yuhan could persuade Cen Ya to sign with his company as a streamer.
Qin Yuhan naturally knew this was a good opportunity for Cen Ya, so she quickly contacted her.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Yuhan directly asked, "Qin Ya, you mentioned before that you were willing to do anything to pay off your debts, right?"
Cen Ya was taken aback and hesitated, "Yes..."
Qin Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. I happen to know of a job that's very suitable for you. You should go and try it."
Afterward, Qin Yuhan gave Cen Ya the address of Jiang Ke Wei's company and informed her to attend an interview.
Cen Ya followed the address to the media company. She didn't have to wait long before meeting Jiang Ke Wei.
Jiang Ke Wei looked Cen Ya up and down and nodded slightly. "Miss Cen, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Ke Wei. I'm aware of your situation. I heard you owe a lot of money, but that's not important. Your own conditions are quite good. If you're willing to sign with our company, I can help you become a top streamer. Then, paying off those two hundred million won't be impossible."
Afterward, Jiang Ke Wei briefly introduced the benefits he would offer her.
Cen Ya bit her lip, listening silently. The thought of having to appease a group of strangers for money made her feel inexplicably humiliated.
However, she had been without income for a while. The benefits Jiang Ke Wei offered were decent, and the prospects he painted were very promising, making it difficult for Cen Ya to refuse.
"Do you want me to sing and dance in front of the camera like other female streamers?" Cen Ya asked somewhat reluctantly.
"No, you're different from ordinary streamers. I want to create a unique persona for you," Jiang Ke Wei said confidently.
"What kind of persona?" Cen Ya was stunned.
Jiang Ke Wei took out his phone and opened a video. "Take a look at this first."
Cen Ya took the phone and was immediately enraged!
It was a spoof video, edited from the footage of her and Ou Ming Han's press conference. The entire video was mocking her for 'driving up the price of pigs' and treating trash like a treasure.
Cen Ya's eyes reddened. "Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by showing me this?"
Seeing her pitiful, innocent appearance, Jiang Ke Wei frowned. This didn't match the persona he intended to create for Cen Ya. It seemed that if he signed her, he would have to spend a lot of time transforming her.
Jiang Ke Wei explained, "Miss Cen, you don't need to be sad. Your reputation online is not good at the moment, but this is not a big problem. Our plan for you is to make a comeback from the lowest point of public opinion!
However, the first thing you need to practice is controlling your emotions when facing these mocking videos. You should be able to laugh heartily when you see them, or show a look of shame and disdain, or perhaps sigh about who that unclear woman in the video is..."
As Cen Ya listened, her anger grew. She asked tremblingly, "Y-you mean, I not only have to accept this mockery, but I also have to join in and mock myself?!"
"Yes!" Jiang Ke Wei nodded. "Miss Cen, we are creating a persona for you where you are deceived and wronged by a scumbag, then suddenly awaken, let go, become open-minded and cheerful, and face life with strength. You will become self-reliant and work hard to pay off the two hundred million debt.
Therefore, you must never cry or look wronged anymore. You must always smile, maintain your strength and optimism! Moreover, you must let go and train your resilience. Ideally, you should reach a point where you can tolerate millions of people's curses without flinching.
Miss Cen, please believe me, as long as you do as I say, and are indifferent to these taunts, even joining in, you will change some people's minds. They'll think you're generous, understand memes, and can take a joke. Then, you can host a few more live streams and bring up the posts you made before. In the live streams, you can read them out and mock yourself with the audience for being unclear-headed back then. This will make more people..."
"Enough! Mr. Jiang, is it fun for you to constantly humiliate me like this?!" Cen Ya's eyes filled with tears, and she stood up angrily.
"Hu-humiliate?" Jiang Ke Wei was bewildered.
"Yes, I was blind to people before, but I'm also a victim! Why do you keep rubbing salt in my wounds, and then asking me to tear them open again and again for others to see and amuse themselves?!" Cen Ya questioned tremblingly.
"Huh?" Jiang Ke Wei looked speechless. "Are you insane? I'm doing this for money. I see your potential commercial value, which is why I want to cooperate with you. I don't know you, and I have no grudge against you. Is there any reason for me to specifically call you here just to humiliate you?"
"You have no grudge against me, but everyone knows Ye Zhi from Taoxun has a grudge against the Cen family. So, are you trying to appease Ye Zhi by humiliating me and exchange it for benefits?" Cen Ya stood up straight and said angrily, "I'm telling you, your plan has failed! My pride will absolutely not allow me to do something so attention-seeking!"
"Get out, get out!" Jiang Ke Wei suppressed the urge to curse and said impatiently, "Face your two hundred million debt and continue being proud!"
With that, Jiang Ke Wei kicked Cen Ya out of the company.
Not long after, his phone rang. It was Zhan Ruo Qing.
"How was the interview?" Zhan Ruo Qing asked curiously.
"Cousin, your judgment of people is spot on! This didn't work out!" Jiang Ke Wei said, frustrated, and recounted the events to Zhan Ruo Qing.
Zhan Ruo Qing listened, dumbfounded. She had expected Cen Ya to refuse. After all, with Cen Ya's education, finding a job shouldn't be difficult. But she was still unemployed, which clearly indicated she was too picky and arrogant. Cen Ya might not have thought highly of the job Jiang Ke Wei offered.
However, Zhan Ruo Qing never expected that Cen Ya wouldn't look down on being a streamer, but would instead refuse Jiang Ke Wei's arrangements because of her 'pride,' believing Jiang Ke Wei wasn't trying to help her but was humiliating her.
"Is she crazy?" Jiang Ke Wei complained.
"Hahaha, I warned you long ago, but you didn't listen!" Zhan Ruo Qing said with a tone of a fortune teller. "Little Jiang, there's still a lot you need to learn in the future!"
