The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 52: The Illiterate Upper Class Drinks Snow King

Leave the company.

Shen Jian walked back to his residence.

After all, the apartment complex is very close to the company, so there's no need to squeeze onto the subway.

I passed by a Mi Xue Ice Cream shop.

It's a seasonal promotion, two extra-large cups for only eight yuan.

Shen Jian bought it on a whim.

I made two million today, so I have to treat myself.

I got home, took a shower, and ordered takeout. It was almost eight o'clock.

Shen Jian opened the Douyin backend.

His backstage area has been almost overwhelmed with comments these past few days because of the heated discussion surrounding illiterate stand-up comedy.

His family asked him when he would start broadcasting.

There were also quite a few people who came directly to show off their superiority.

I feel that he lowered the bar for variety shows.

Seeing these private messages.

Shen Jian didn't care.

Today is the first time I've earned money as an artist, so I'm in a good mood.

I opened the live stream and a pop-up message appeared.

[Shen Jian is currently live streaming...]

Perhaps netizens have been holding back for too long these past few days.

So when they saw the live stream notification, the response was incredibly swift.

The live stream quickly attracted a huge influx of viewers.

Within minutes, the number of users reached 5, and it continued to increase slowly, heading straight for 10+.

[Holy crap! My eldest son's finally started streaming!]

[I thought the person who got flamed was secretly crying in bed.]

[He'll cry? An illiterate person would just grin like Patrick Star.]

[Dude, you're actually going to do stand-up comedy? They'll pay you whatever they want, we'll pay for it. Don't go and embarrass yourself.]

[If you don't like it, get lost. Stop whining.]

[......]

The live stream chat was filled with rapidly scrolling comments.

It seems like a faction war is about to begin.

Shen Jian ate a couple of bites of rice and then pushed the lunchbox aside.

Then prepare to get to work:

"Family members, it's been a long time! Light up the signs, and if you have the money, you can even book the entire exhibition hall."

[Are you ready for your stand-up comedy show?]

[I suggest you just serve them your "fart literature" killer move and let them try it!]

[Hahaha, what the hell is this farting literature!]

[What's wrong? I just arrived, is it lunchtime yet?]

[Okay, we're here. Do you want some?]

[Hahaha.]

Shen Jian: "I did prepare a stand-up comedy routine, but I won't be performing it today. To be honest, I've been getting a lot of flak these past few days, and when I'm in a bad mood, I tend to relieve my depression by indulging in high-end shopping. Sigh... Today, I accidentally walked into that store."

[What store?]

[Holy crap, you didn't actually go to the SKP mall in Beijing, did you? I heard a bunch of grapes costs over a thousand!]

Did you buy luxury goods?

[Dude, you're illiterate, and even if you became an entertainer, you wouldn't make any money. You can't go astray!]

[Tell me quickly, what did you buy?]

At this moment, everyone's attention in the live stream was drawn to Shen Jian's words.

The previous verbal battle has been suspended.

There was much speculation.

Shen Jian's voice was calm, but his facial expression revealed an extremely arrogant demeanor.

His eloquence was becoming increasingly adept, adapting perfectly to his every move.

"Alright, then today I'll show you what high society stuff really is. It cost some money, but this is the kind of fashion item only celebrities like us should own, mixue~!"

[What's in English?]

[French brand?]

[Never heard of it, is it a luxury item?]

Shen Jian swept everything off the table.

Then they brought out a cute red and white Mi Xue Ice Cream bag.

Everyone in the live stream was completely bewildered.

[? ? ? ]

[What is this?]

[Damn, Snow King?]

Shen Jian smiled arrogantly: "Everyone should know my strength, right? The gifts I receive every month amount to tens of thousands of yuan."

Of course, I know this may not be something that ordinary people like you can imagine, but I just want to share with you the taste of high society.

A half-sweet orange drink is something most people would save up for a long time to afford, but I... ordered two at once.

[? ? ? ]

[You f***ing...]

[OK.]

How much fake alcohol did this guy drink?

"So, that's right, I just casually drank two glasses of something that tastes like an ordinary person. Oh, right... yes, I paid in full."

[Pfft, hahaha.]

[Damn, isn't this guy...]

[It was honestly pretty awkward, but it was funny.]

[No, nobody said this illiterate guy was so funny. I was about to roast him.]

[Haha, this is hilarious!]

[Does this mean we'll have to pay in installments?]

"Hmph, don't be so vain, okay?" Shen Jian took a sip, his expression arrogant: "Sorry, we upper-class people never split bills."

Oh, and there's one more little detail that you might never understand: you absolutely have to add a crispy popping sound!

That's right, this isn't something the average family can afford, but I'm adding both cups anyway!

[grass……]

[You're really asking for it!]

[I can't take it anymore. I was nearby. What explanation do you have?]

[Just don't let him come back to life tomorrow.]

[Haha, this is hilarious! Is this a joke? Pretty good.]

Shen Jian: "Alright, alright, I know you're all envious of my life, but it's okay. If you've saved up enough money and finally manage to go to Mixue~ but don't know how to order, I'll teach you how to play high-level games."

Remember, first thing: when you go to Milkshake Ice Cream, don't look around or look at the price list, otherwise people will think you've never been there before.

Just tell the barista, "A Lemon C," but absolutely no ice. Ice will only dilute the original pure taste. Remember, adding ice is very low-class; only Starbucks' lowlifes like it.

This is already quite a luxury, but in the end, please don't do what I did and ask for the bag, carrying it out of the store with one hand, occasionally taking a sip, and secretly revealing half of the Snow King's head.

"Just order whatever you want, let them know that a $4.50 orange C is just your everyday thing."

[Hahaha!]

[Wait, isn't this pretty good at stand-up comedy?]

[LOL, I came here to criticize him, but I'm drinking Snow King too, what do I do? He's an ally, damn it!]

[Haha, my sister works at Mi Xue (a popular Chinese beauty website), I'm filming a high society scene tonight!]

[Sorry, I just had one air-freighted over, and I'm drinking it right now.]

[Dude, you better tone it down. They're cracking down on celebrity tax evasion lately. If you can afford to drink Xue Wang (a popular Chinese beverage), I'm suspicious.]

[Holy crap, he really added crunchy coconut jelly! I'm so envious.]

[Don't believe him. He's just putting on an act for a video. How many people in real life can afford to pay for two drinks outright? Don't you guys have any concept of money?]

[Hahaha.]

Shen Jian: "Everyone, let me say this one last time: I'm not showing off my wealth. Being low-key is a family motto. I'm just sharing some of the hobbies of high society today."

[666.]

[I'm totally buying this joke.]

[Hilarious! If you do this, I won't scold you anymore!]

[Wow, this is actually pretty good. If you could be this funny on a stand-up comedy show, I might just be a casual viewer!]

Shen Jian: "Alright, I know many of you are also members of high society. Prove it to me. Film a video tonight and tag me, let me see how you showcase your Mixue~."

[Sure, even illiterate upper-class people can drink Snow King!]

[Wait! I'll shoot it right away, so you can see the high society!]

[Dude, get some exposure to high society. Drinking Mixue—and they don't even have 'Weilong Spicy Strips' on the menu? That's high society? You wait!]

[......]

...

...

The next day.

Yixin Entertainment, Marketing Department Office.

Yang Tianzhen made a point of arriving half an hour early.

Together with Liangmu and the others, they were screening dozens of copywriting samples.

I didn't sleep well yesterday because of this two million.

"If none of these work, doesn't your marketing department have any copywriting ideas to create a viral hit?"

"..."

Yang Tianzhen started scolding people with some anxiety.

The marketing team could only lower their heads and remain silent.

Working overtime is one thing, but getting results is another.

Unless you rely on luck, it's impossible to create viral content just by writing some catchy copy.

Everyone silently complained in their hearts.

And the next second.

The conference room door was pushed open.

Lin Youyou ran in.

"General Manager Yang!"

"What's wrong?"

"Mi Xue, Shen Jian, he, oh my god, he's famous!"

Yang Tianzhen: "???"

Ryogi: "???"
