Chapter 479 Chen Jincheng: Are you treating me like a life mentor?
"Dad, there are so many people in Chen Jincheng's live stream." Gu Zeyuan looked at the number of people in Chen Jincheng's live stream with envy. He was also a popular singer in the music industry, but he didn't have that many fans.
Seeing so many people in the live stream, and the large title "Talking about the songs in my deceased wife's memoirs," made Lin Shih-chang's face darken.
But after watching for a while, he realized that Chen Jincheng hadn't talked about the song at all; he was just chatting with the audience in the live stream.
Chan Kam-ching was indeed chatting with the audience. After all, it was just an announcement, and the peak number of online viewers couldn't be reached so quickly, so he naturally had to drag it out and also talk about some topics that would make the show more entertaining.
Naturally, some people will raise some more controversial topics.
Take, for example, the person who suddenly tipped several people at the carnival's live stream.
The other person wasn't a fan of his, but they tipped him several times at the carnival and asked to go on mic, so they naturally had an ulterior motive. The topic they asked was also quite controversial: "Mr. Chen, recently there's been a lot of talk online about a rich kid from a university competing against an ordinary student, and the ordinary student winning the championship. It's a story of a poor kid achieving success against all odds. What's your opinion on this? After all, you are the biggest example of a poor kid achieving success against all odds."
Chen Jincheng was speechless when he heard the question. He said, "You've set a trap for me. If I answer this question truthfully, people will say I've forgotten my roots and lied. But I'm afraid of deceiving the public and misleading everyone."
The person asking the question said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, this is actually a view that everyone is very eager to know!"
Indeed, in the live stream chat, you can see many people sending messages asking him to share his views.
Chen Jincheng was quite helpless about this and could only say, "Since everyone is so curious, I can only share my personal experience. Back in school, I knew two senior students. One was the rich kid you mentioned, and the other was an ordinary student who was also the vice president of the student council."
"Both of them are very talented and often participate in various competitions, competing against each other. They have both won and lost, and they have also become friends, dreaming about their dreams together because they both have their own dreams of becoming race car drivers."
"Soon, the two senior students graduated. The ordinary senior applied for a job at a Fortune 500 company. He originally thought that with his excellence at school, he could make a name for himself in the company. But when he joined the company, he found that there were 20 other students in the same batch as him, who were student presidents, vice presidents, managers, talents participating in various competitions, and even doctoral students and international students. He was not even among the top."
"He felt the pressure, but it also fueled his fighting spirit. He worked hard for three years, and this senior got married, had a child, and got a promotion opportunity. Everyone thought his promotion was a sure thing."
"It's a pity that a girl three years younger than him was suddenly parachuted into this position because she is the vice president's niece. This is a huge blow to the senior."
"He even felt resentful, thinking that the company was terrible and beyond saving. He even thought about resigning, but then he thought about his wife who had just given birth and the heavy burden of the family falling on his shoulders. He didn't dare to take the plunge. In the end, he could only listen to the orders of this girl who was parachuted in, keeping a low profile and completely losing his former high spirits."
"When I met that rich second-generation senior again, he was still full of vigor. The two talked about their past dreams. The rich second-generation senior had already started his racing career and had made an agreement with his family to invest 1000 million yuan to start a club. If it didn't work out, he would go back to inherit the family business."
"These are all my personal experiences, and they do not represent my views, nor will I express any opinion on them."
Many viewers in the live stream fell silent. Although Chen Jincheng denied that it was his opinion, everyone understood what he meant.
Simply put, the school brought them to the same level, giving them the opportunity to compete. However, this opportunity was limited to the school. Once outside of school, everything changed.
Like an ordinary senior student, he can compete with the rich kids in school, but once he enters society, he has more responsibilities. Moreover, there are so many schools across the country, and each school has students who are just as good as him, or even better.
Even after having a wife and children, his life no longer belonged to him. Even when he was treated unfairly, he still dared not resist.
But the rich second-generation senior is different. He has 1000 million yuan in funds to pursue his dreams after graduation, and even if he fails, he can go home and inherit the family business.
Online discussions only focus on school-related matters, thus encompassing everything, without considering the influence of school, society, background, family, etc.
Even in a fair environment at school, the rich kids might only put in a fraction of their effort to compete with ordinary students, and whether they win or not is irrelevant. But for ordinary students, it's about giving it their all and winning is a must.
This is the gap.
The wealth of a second-generation rich kid may have come from three generations of hard work over decades. How could an ordinary person catch up with them after four years of university?
For both sides to truly stand on the same level, either one side has a spendthrift son, or the other side is truly talented, giving their son a better starting point for his career, and then the son lives up to expectations. Only then might both sides be able to truly stand on the same level.
Seeing that the question hadn't sparked any controversy, the person who asked the question seemed unsatisfied and asked again, "Mr. Chen, what you said is very wrong. Not only are you a perfect example, but you've also reached your current level in a short period of time through your own efforts." Hearing this, Chen Jincheng couldn't help but retort, "Seriously, you seem determined to avoid creating class conflict in this live stream, and you're even deliberately using me as an example. Fine, I'll give you an example too. I can make videos, I can sing, and with just those two skills, I can start a company. I can impress CEO Lei with my planning, and I can get him to raise 3 billion yuan with just one business plan. Anyone can reach my current level. So, you can say goodbye now."
After Chen Jincheng finished speaking, he kicked the man off the microphone. What a troublemaker.
However, his words were also agreed upon by the viewers in the live broadcast room. No one should be used as an example, because people like him are like geniuses who only appear once in a century.
Moreover, what Chen Jincheng said is something that ordinary people can achieve by knowing just two things: making videos and singing.
At the same time, Chen Jincheng really hopes that Douyin will release a function to turn the tipping on and off as soon as possible. People like this who want to incite class conflict should not be tipped, so that the other party will not have the opportunity to ask such contradictory questions.
Just as he was thinking this, another person suddenly tipped him with several Carnival gifts and then requested to connect via voice chat. The person immediately complained, "Cheng, I feel like my wife is becoming more and more unreasonable. Before, when we were poor, nobody cared about me when I went out. Now that business is finally picking up, all I did was go out and treat someone to a meal, and my wife keeps nagging me."
"I bought my BMW Star with cash, but she insists that she can't afford to pay the loan anymore and that a used car isn't worth much. Isn't this embarrassing for me? Can you teach me a way to deal with my wife?"
Chen Jincheng was speechless when he heard this question. Now that he's doing a live broadcast, are all sorts of questions being thrown at him?
Moreover, faced with this problem, he could only say speechlessly, "Brother, take my advice: all you need to do is love your wife well. With a virtuous wife at home, your life will only get better and better."
The man was clearly confused by this: "Cheng, that's not what I meant."
Chen Jincheng laughed and said, "Brother, have you heard of the Crab Law? It means that when someone in your circle of acquaintances tries to 'climb out,' the people around him will try to pull him back to mediocrity. Don't underestimate other people's jealousy."
"Let me give you another example. I had a classmate in college who was pursuing the most beautiful girl in our department. His classmates encouraged him to do it. When he finally got her and told others, they started making sarcastic remarks."
"To put it bluntly, they despise you for being poor, fear you for being rich, hate that you have things, laugh at you for not having them, bully you for being weak, and envy you for being strong. Brother, if you can do business, then do it well. If you want to treat others, then do it wisely. Don't associate with friends who care about whether you treat others or not. True friends don't care whether you treat others or not."
Hearing what Chen Jincheng said, the man was clearly silent for a while. It was unclear whether he understood or not, but he eventually logged off.
The viewers in the live stream all agreed with Chen Jincheng's words, especially those who had been poor but had achieved some success in business.
This also made them admire Chen Jincheng's clear vision. These are issues that many people spend their whole lives trying to understand. Aren't many people who have been relocated due to demolition just like that? There was a news story before about a person who suddenly had 100 million yuan in demolition compensation. They got carried away and flaunted it around. Almost everyone they knew knew about it.
So, many people started inviting him out, pampering him, and spending all their money on meals, finding women, etc., and eventually, some even took him to a casino.
Anyway, he somehow squandered the last hundred million, and all the people who had surrounded him disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, there is a saying that goes: "Things are accomplished by secrecy, and ruined by leaks; those who are good at concealing their abilities will win, and those who are good at revealing their abilities will lose." This is not without reason.
The man just now was complaining about his wife, but what he didn't know was that his wife was the truly intelligent one. Having a wife like that in the family is definitely a blessing.
As time went by, several more people asked Chen Jincheng similar questions, which left Chen Jincheng speechless. Did they think he was their life mentor?
However, these topics were clearly of great interest to everyone, and the effect was excellent, with a high viewer retention rate in the live stream, until the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 500 million.
Douyin's full-traffic push resulted in an alarmingly high increase in the number of online viewers.
So, seeing that it was about time, Chen Jincheng said to the live stream, "Alright, we've been chatting for so long, it's time to get down to business. Everyone here is here for the song about my late wife's memoir, so let's talk about the new song I'm going to release."
These words instantly drew the attention of the viewers in the live stream.
Lin Shichang, who was lurking in the live broadcast room, had long been impatient with Chen Jincheng's nonsense.
He really wanted to know what Chan Kam-ching's songs were like. Even if he was going to be sentenced to death, he wanted it done quickly; this whole thing was torture.
Of course, he still held onto hope. As long as Chen Jincheng didn't release a song about his deceased wife's memoirs, or even a song that wasn't like that at all, he could finally vent his anger!
