How to Make a Wealthy Woman Fall in Love with You?

Wu Fang, like many ordinary people, knew that being an internet celebrity was very lucrative, but she had never expected it to be quite this profitable.

Aside from earning tens of millions a year, even making a million annually was a level that many ordinary people could never hope to touch in their entire lifetimes.

However, the "Master of Ultimate Skills" handle belonged to her boyfriend after all. Not wanting to make a unilateral decision for Chen Jue, Wu Fang sent him a message instead, roughly explaining the situation regarding her older female cousin.

Chen Jue was out having lunch at the time. Upon receiving Wu Fang's message, he specifically used a financial approval tool from his former job to check the basic background of Qianhe Company.

He discovered that it was one of the top ten MCN agencies in the country, extremely famous within the industry, with over a dozen top-tier live-streaming anchors signed under its umbrella. Furthermore, it had already passed multiple rounds of financing and was currently making a push toward an IPO.

"I never expected Fangfang's cousin to be so influential!"

"With over 40% of the equity, her net worth must be at least hundreds of millions, right?" Chen Jue sighed inwardly.

After thinking it over carefully for a moment, Chen Jue decided to simply make a trip to Qianhe Company. It wasn't far anyway—only a little over twenty minutes away by car.

Originally, Wu Lingling had two important meetings scheduled for the afternoon, but upon learning that the Master of Ultimate Skills was coming, she directly canceled the meetings to personally host Chen Jue and her cousin.

When Wu Lingling learned that Chen Jue did not want to show his face on camera for live-streaming e-commerce, and was even unwilling to accept soft or hard product placements in his videos, she wore an expression of sheer astonishment.

After all, the fastest and most mature monetization path in the influencer circle right now was through live-streaming sales.

Whether it was Three Sheep, Xinxuan, Li Jiaqi, or Dongfang Zhenxuan, they all operated under this business model.

After all, live-streaming sales offered high commissions and rapid monetization. By capitalizing on trending hype to make quick money every day, all one had to do was stand in front of the camera and shout phrases like "family members" or "brothers in the live-stream room" to have throngs of fans placing orders.

In Chen Jue's view, however, the logic of this business model was nothing more than transplanting the TV shopping craze popular abroad in the last century onto the small screen of a smartphone.

In reality, there was no innovation to it; it merely added elements of internet e-commerce combined with big data search algorithms, resulting in broader coverage and faster cash flow.

Precisely because the money came in so fast, many washed-up celebrities had also begun joining the live-streaming sales industry just to make a living.

As for the second, slightly lesser monetization method, it involved earning advertising fees by embedding ads directly into videos—the kind of seamless, unexpected, and slick insertions described by barrages of bullet comments.

The quoted rates for ad placements also varied by individual; minor influencers might command a few hundred or a thousand per video, while top-tier influencers could easily fetch tens or hundreds of thousands in ad fees.

For a newly emerging top-ten annual influencer like Chen Jue, given his existing traffic and popularity, his ad rates could even be marked up to a million or more.

However, embedding advertisements in videos severely damaged the viewing experience and could even trigger unfollowing sprees, leaving a somewhat negative impact on a video blogger's reputation.

One could only say that both monetization methods had their pros and cons, entirely depending on Chen Jue's personal choice.

"Sister Ling, if we neither do live-streaming sales nor accept ads, what if we just purely make videos like we did before?"

As Chen Jue spoke, he reached out and took Wu Fang's small hand. The success of the Master of Ultimate Skills account was inseparable from Wu Fang's cooperative filming, and he did not want online backlash to ultimately harm the people around him.

"I never expected you to cherish your reputation so much! No wonder you've always worn a mask on camera."

Wu Lingling looked with a trace of envy at the young couple deeply in love before her. Then, her eyes lit up slightly as if she had thought of something: "If you don't touch those two, then only one monetization method remains: building your own personal brand IP."

"Your reference template would be Li Ziqi from a few years ago. She likewise doesn't do live-streaming sales or accept external commercial advertisements, focusing entirely on video creation and spreading China's outstanding traditional culture to the entire world!"

……

After spending the afternoon in Wu Lingling's office, the three of them finally ironed out a suitable operation model.

The Master of Ultimate Skills handle could be signed under Qianhe Company, entrusting a professional team with its operation. Operational content would include post-production video refinement, business negotiations, overseas platform promotion, crisis management, and so on.

This was equivalent to Wu Lingling providing a one-stop service, while Chen Jue and Wu Fang only needed to focus on content creation just as they had before.

Although its monetization capacity fell short of top-tier live-streaming sales anchors, this cooperative model happened to align perfectly with Chen Jue's preferences.

As for why they needed to sign with an MCN company, it was because such agencies possessed their own commercial channels.

For instance, regarding revenue-sharing agreements with video platforms like Douyin and Bilibili, if Chen Jue signed as an individual, he would only get a 50-50 split; out of 100 yuan in fan tips and recharges, Chen Jue would only take home 50, from which individual income tax would still have to be deducted.

However, by being affiliated with Qianhe Company and letting Qianhe handle the negotiations, the revenue split could be elevated to 60-40 or 70-30, and some top-tier anchors could even negotiate an 80-20 split.

The revenue split offered by Qianhe to Chen Jue was 60-40, with Chen Jue taking 60%. This was equivalent to him gaining over 10% in additional revenue for free.

Beyond that, publishing videos on overseas platforms would also generate supplementary income.

One must realize that even during her hiatus of the past few years, Li Ziqi's overseas monthly earnings still exceeded 700,000, with her follower count growing instead of shrinking, essentially earning money effortlessly every day.

If Chen Jue's ultimate skill videos were filmed well, they could achieve a similar effect.

Furthermore, once his influence grew larger in the later stages, they could establish the personal athletic brand of [Master of Ultimate Skills], releasing peripheral merchandise stamped with the logo and transforming the Master of Ultimate Skills into a top-tier IP within the sports and cultural circles.

In short, the ways to make money in the influencer circle were myriad, and following a model like Li Ziqi's could earn both fame and substantial returns.

Operation with the backing of a team like this was far superior to Chen Jue fighting a lone battle as an individual.

However, because live-streaming sales and ad placements were off the table, the commercial value of the Master of Ultimate Skills was noticeably reduced, meaning the signing bonus would naturally have to be adjusted downward by a certain proportion.

"Based on your current follower growth trend, you should smoothly surpass ten million by next year."

"Calculated at 3 yuan per individual follower, the signing bonus would be around fifteen million. If you want to sign, I'll have the marketing and legal departments draw up a quotation contract."

"Don't look at it as Qianhe being my creation; behind the scenes, there are actually many venture capitalists and major shareholders exercising control, so the offer can certainly only follow market rates."

"However, brother-in-law, don't worry. I'll have the legal team draft the terms with looser clauses. If you ever feel uncomfortable staying at Qianhe, you can pack up and walk away at any time," Wu Lingling explained patiently.

Such generous treatment was granted purely out of consideration for the fact that Chen Jue was Wu Fang's boyfriend.

If it were any other influencer or anchor, they would likely be bound by all sorts of restrictive clauses from the very first day of signing.

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Ling!"

"Please take good care of me moving forward."

Chen Jue was a straightforward person who disliked beating around the bush, so he simply agreed to the other party's offer and conveniently added Wu Lingling on WeChat using his main account to facilitate future contact.

……

When they walked out of Qianhe Company, the sky outside was growing dark. Holding Chen Jue's hand with a hint of worry, Wu Fang asked, "Agreeing to my cousin just like that, was it a bit too fast?"

"Shouldn't we go compare with other agencies first? I'm worried you'll get the short end of the stick!"

Seeing Wu Fang speak thus, Chen Jue burst into laughter.

He hadn't expected that Teacher Wu hadn't even officially married into their Chen family yet, and already her loyalties were starting to skew outward—she was simply a little bit adorable.

"Rest assured, the terms your sister offered are already very good."

"If we went looking for other agencies outside, there's no telling how we might get scammed." Chen Jue placated Wu Fang's emotions, drawing on his understanding of internet influencer success stories he'd seen online over the past few years.

A partnership with almost no constraints like this was already exceptionally lenient.

Early influencers like Li Ziqi had fallen out with their MCN companies after achieving fame, resulting in their video accounts being forcibly seized and directly suspended, severely harming their popularity and income.

However, in this day and age, even blood brothers could turn against each other for the sake of profits, so a defensive mindset was still necessary.

Once Qianhe produced the written agreement, Chen Jue would still need to find a major law firm and hire a professional lawyer to review it for him, just in case he ended up being sold out and still helping people count the money.

……

Instead of sending Teacher Wu straight home, he found a high-end restaurant to treat her to a meal as a small celebration.

Had Wu Fang not had this connection, Chen Jue would never have been able to monetize the Master of Ultimate Skills account so early.

A fifteen-million signing bonus was almost on par with the endorsement fees of major celebrities. Having worked as an employee for so many years, Chen Jue had only ever seen sums that large in the daily disbursement amounts of financial companies.

"Dearest Teacher Wu, you really are my lucky star!"

"Being with you, I feel like I'm striking gold every single day," Chen Jue said with a slight smile, uttering cheesy sweet nothings across the dining table.

"I was just doing a small favor~"

"By the way, Brother Jue, what do you plan to do after earning so much money?" Wu Fang, having drunk a little sparkling fruit wine, had slightly flushed cheeks that looked all the more alluring under the restaurant's bright lighting.

"How about buying a house first? I don't have a permanent foothold in Hangzhou yet."

"Even for marriage in the future, we need to prepare the marital home in advance." Chen Jue thought for a moment and tossed out a very stereotypical male answer. The first thing a poor guy who suddenly got rich would do was either buy a car or buy a house.

There was no helping it; the family DNA of the Chinese people ran deep—investing in real estate was always the top priority after making money.

"Actually, you don't need to buy a house. I have three properties under my name..."

Wu Fang realized something was amiss the moment the words left her mouth, and her face instantly flushed red down to the base of her ears.

As a native Hangzhou local from an early wave of urban redevelopment, she simply had more houses than she could possibly live in.

Hearing this, Chen Jue wore an expression of utter shock, never expecting his girlfriend to be such a low-key, super-rich sugar mommy!

This romance he was having was practically delivering benefits straight to his doorstep, acting like an endless treasure chest that popped open with pleasant surprises from time to time.

He wondered if Professor Wu Yingxue would spit blood in anger if he knew his precious daughter was showing such blatant bias toward an outsider.

This wasn't just a leaking cotton-padded jacket anymore; it was practically just a single layer of tattered, frayed underwear!

……

After dinner, he dropped Teacher Wu off back at her residential complex. Before getting out of the car, he reluctantly stole a few kisses, after which Chen Jue hurried back to his 40-square-meter small apartment with a lingering sense of unfulfillment.

Gazing at the cramped rented room, Chen Jue felt that the matter of buying a house truly needed to be brought forward onto his schedule as soon as possible.

Without a proper foothold, he would be embarrassed to bring Teacher Wu home with him.

"How can a proud man of the Chen family survive by clinging to a woman's coattails and eating soft rice?"

"Self-reliance is the right path!"

After mocking himself a bit, Chen Jue waited for his digestion to settle, changed his clothes, and drove to Yiling Yoga Studio.

He had only used the membership he'd just paid for once, and he intended to utilize the evening hours to learn a few more yoga postures, allowing his body's fascia to receive a better stretch and improving his overall flexibility.

Moreover, having just confirmed a romantic relationship with Teacher Wu, and facing a night alone tossing and turning in an empty bed, Chen Jue needed to use [Meditation] to suppress the restlessness within his body. Thus, he simply signed up for an evening private coaching session at the yoga studio.

To his surprise, quite a few people had come to practice yoga on a weekend night, and Chen Jue even caught sight of his landlady, Xia Xue, inside a large classroom.

"Damn!"

"She's a member here too?" Chen Jue muttered inwardly.

Teacher Xia's figure was already explosively curvaceous, and changing into form-fitting yoga attire directly doubled her lethality.

Chen Jue only glanced a couple of times with an appreciative gaze, and he almost failed to suppress his internal spear.

"Non-seeing, non-listening! Non-seeing, non-listening!"

"I'm a taken man now; I can't be as lewd and constantly fantasizing as before," Chen Jue warned himself, and then stepped into a small classroom.

The private coach on duty was the same Instructor Cheng from last time. She was seen sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat, eyes closed in concentration.

Seeing Chen Jue enter, Instructor Cheng opened her eyes and put on a professional smile: "Haven't seen you in a few days, Student Chen!"

Male members in yoga studios were quite rare, and Chen Jue had left a fairly deep impression on her after attending just a single class last time.

"Good evening, Instructor Cheng."

Chen Jue greeted the other party and straight away brought up the subsequent Hatha yoga postures he wanted to learn.

"Have the dozen or so foundational movements regarding meditation and warm-ups from the last class been practiced until you're completely familiar with them?" Instructor Cheng nodded and inquired about Chen Jue's practice progress.

Yoga wasn't like ordinary gymnastic exercises; practicing it placed heavy emphasis on a gradual, step-by-step approach.

If the foundation was not laid well, rashly practicing subsequent high-difficulty movements could easily result in muscle strains.

Hearing this, Chen Jue didn't offer a lengthy explanation. He simply found an empty yoga mat, sat down, and demonstrated the previously learned postures one by one.

Especially when assuming the Lotus Pose to rapidly enter a meditative state, it directly caused Instructor Cheng to reveal a trace of astonishment: "About how long does it take for you to enter meditation now?"

"What does entering meditation mean?"

"If you mean entering the meditative state, it takes about three minutes or so!" Chen Jue opened his eyes, calculated the time, and said.

"Three minutes? Your talent is actually this amazing!"

"When I first learned yoga, it initially took me tens of minutes just to begin formal meditation." Instructor Cheng's expression instantly shifted, clearly shocked by Chen Jue's speed in entering meditation.

Answer to this chapter's title: How to make a rich woman fall in love with you? The answer is to have a system panel (facepalm).

By the way, I'd like to thank "I'm Really Hard to Name," "Passerby Buying Soy Sauce," "I Have a Longing," and "Lifelong Devoted Ai" for their generous tips!

My lords' support is the driving force behind my updates. I was delayed a bit by researching some information and brainstorming, so this update is a bit late. Another chapter should be coming out later.
