After a failed blind date, a wealthy woman tried to walk into my heart

"Whatever, as long as it's not a refund from a minor."

Shen Lang was thrilled to see the unexpected windfall and opened the comments section on his official account.

[I'm a fan of this novel adaptation! The story and the actors are amazing!]

[Why is there no next episode? Where's episode six? Hurry up and release it! I paid for this!]

[Wow, when the female lead fell, the ball even wobbled a bit. The best part is the director gave it a close-up. Now I have to follow this!]

[Wait! I just realized this is the novel I've been following! It's been turned into short videos, thumbs up!]

[The story is great. I'm online asking for the original work!]

[Isn't this female lead Tang Yanyan? I'm a big fan of hers, begging for episode six!]

The five videos on the official account only had a few thousand likes, but there were over ten thousand comments.

These were promotional videos, so it's normal for viewers not to like them—most were just there for the content.

The crazy part was the 50 million views. That's an insane number for five videos.

Even more impressive was the 90% completion rate. For a fast-paced short video platform, that's amazing.

Almost all viewers watched the full 20-minute episodes from start to finish.

At that moment, Gu Linyu sent a WeChat message.

Gu Linyu: "Director Shen, my suggestion is to release episode six while the traffic is high to keep these viewers."

"Forget that. Release all the episodes, don't leave any out."

Gu Linyu: "Why? If we release everything now, we'll lose the freshness. We still have many episodes left to shoot."

"Lin Yu, you don't get it. Even if these episodes are high quality and enjoyable, if we drag it out, people will lose interest. They'll forget about us if they can't get more episodes soon."

"Short video market is like a brothel full of beauties. The viewers are like clients, and we're like the new girls. Even if we're stunning, there are plenty of other girls. If we just tease them without showing what we're really made of, they'll move on to someone else."

Gu Linyu: "...Director Shen, your analogy is very down-to-earth. {Sweat emoji}"

"Alright, get back to work. Make sure your team perfects the recharge channels. I want to see profits tonight. {Smug emoji}"

Gu Linyu: "OK."

Today's episode was more transitional, so Shen Lang decided not to go to the set and let the assistant director handle it.

After ending the call, Shen Lang flopped on the bed, intending to take a quick nap.

He'd been so busy lately, chatting with his girlfriends every night.

Even though his enhanced body didn't feel tired, his subconscious told him he needed rest.

He ended up sleeping until after 6 PM.

Feeling refreshed, he got up, brushed his teeth, and got ready. Shen Lang grabbed his phone and car keys, planning to visit his parents, grab a meal, and take the Mercedes out for a spin.

Back at his parents' neighborhood, he parked the Mercedes in the spot where his old Volkswagen usually was.

Unlocking the door, he found his sister, Shen Linlin, already home.

She was lounging on the sofa, casually scrolling through Douyin, her white feet swinging on the edge of the couch.

"Bro!"

Shen Linlin thought it was their parents coming home and greeted Shen Lang with a happy smile.

The smile quickly faded as she remembered Shen Lang hadn't helped her out before, and her expression turned into one of annoyance and disdain. She switched to calling him by his nickname.

"Old Deng, back for another free meal?"

Shen Lang was used to Shen Linlin's bratty attitude and didn't respond, just changing his shoes. "Where's your sister?"

Shen Linlin, who had been smiling, suddenly looked upset. She asked, "Old Deng, do you only have Shen Ranran as a sister?"

"Seriously, can you stop being so jealous?"

Shen Lang scoffed.

As he walked past Shen Linlin, he playfully pinched her smooth cheek, causing her to chase him with playful punches.

After wandering around the house, Shen Lang, who was starving, went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Shen Linlin followed him like a shadow, leaning against the kitchen door and watching him search the fridge with a smile on her face.

"There's nothing in the fridge?"

Shen Lang closed the fridge and complained, "You have a decent job. There shouldn't be nothing to eat at home."

"Mom asked me to buy some groceries tonight. I was just about to head out."

Shen Linlin, twirling a strand of hair, leaned against the door and said, "You drove here, right? Let's go together."

"Sure."

Shen Lang didn't refuse. It was still early, so he might as well go out and get something to eat.

"Wait for me, I'll change."

Shen Linlin's face lit up with excitement as she ran back to her room.
