Starting by Winning the Sister-in-law's Best Friend Chapter 389

After catching her breath for a moment, Zhao Qingyao took out her phone: "Nearly forgot, I still have a promotional video for Nine-Headed Mountain to post."

Saying this, she opened a certain short video platform and began to operate.

Li Chuan glanced over and immediately discovered a new world!

"You have so many followers?"

Zhao Qingyao shook the phone in her hand: "Of course! I, Reporter Zhao, am a top internet celebrity with more than 20 million followers! I'm definitely the queen of influencer! Now you understand how lucky you just were, right?"

Li Chuan: "..."

He actually just got involved with a top female influencer who has over 20 million followers?

Tsk tsk!

Thinking about it, it really feels quite satisfying and very fulfilling!

However, Zhao Qingyao runs the kind of news account, though she has lots of followers, they belong to those official accounts with low engagement.

But again, the engagement may be low, but the exposure rate is extremely high!

Cyan Wood Ointment, what it's missing now is just popularity, isn't it?

The senior sister is so good to him, making him comfortable, unlocking dozens of poses, isn't all this just for earning money! Satisfy her!

With this in mind, Li Chuan immediately started his offensive again, attacking while explaining the Cyan Wood Ointment matter.

As it turns out, pillow talk works not only for men but also for women.

After discussing with Zhao Qingyao inside the Tesla for a whole afternoon, Zhao Qingyao agreed to help promote Li Chuan and Qingyun Cosmetics.

Actually, this also helps promote local quality enterprises, which is within Zhao Qingyao's work scope.

With this delay, by the time they got back to the villa, it was already dinner time.

Li Chuan called Song Zihan and Song Hanzhang, then passed by the market to buy some groceries to take back.

Song Hanzhang was still busy at school, so Song Zihan returned first.

While Li Chuan was halfway through cooking, suddenly the water in the house stopped, which puzzled him, how could there be a water outage in this villa community? Isn't there a backup water supply?

He immediately called his dedicated housekeeper Dong Xiaoxuan.

Dong Xiaoxuan showed up right away.

"It's like this, a pipe burst at a resident's house, the community is repairing the pipeline, it'll be done in ten minutes at the latest."

After saying this, Dong Xiaoxuan couldn't help but sniff, then she looked surprised: "Li Chuan, I really didn't expect your cooking skills to be this good!"

He had just been making soup, and it smelled very delicious.

Hearing Dong Xiaoxuan's words, Li Chuan shyly smiled: "Actually, when I was little, both the old man and my eldest brother were very busy, so I cooked for myself to eat, basically raised myself with my own hand."

Seeing a lot of uncut vegetables next to the sink, Dong Xiaoxuan rolled up her sleeves and went over: "I'm good at this, let me help you. My knife skills are great."

Li Chuan glanced at her with a smile and didn't refuse: "Work has been fairly good lately, right?"

Working in this high-end neighborhood, the tasks must be lighter.

Dong Xiaoxuan nodded: "Yes, ever since selling the villa you live in, the company leadership has been taking good care of me. Life is much better than before now."

Li Chuan laughed: "That's good! By the way, haven't you started dating someone after being single for so long?"

Dong Xiaoxuan instinctively looked at Li Chuan, and her heart suddenly started to race: "Actually, yes, I have."

Li Chuan said: "Men need to marry, and women need to wed. At your age, striving alone outside, don't miss out when you meet someone you like. It's always better for two people to be together than being lonely alone."

"Is that really true? I've heard nowadays girls all like being single and only meet jerks."

Dong Xiaoxuan sighed, seemingly talking to herself, yet like she was speaking to Li Chuan.

Actually, ever since encountering Li Chuan again in Jiangzhou City, Dong Xiaoxuan had begun to like this old classmate.

Handsome and wealthy, good personality, graceful, quite capable, many in the owner group always praise him highly.

What young woman wouldn't be moved by such a talented young man?

Moreover, many ladies in the owner group claim to like Li Chuan and occasionally even flirt with him.

Watching often, sometimes Dong Xiaoxuan would dream about getting intimate with Li Chuan, which was quite embarrassing.

Soon, the water came back, and Li Chuan continued cooking.

"Indeed, there are many jerks now, so you must keep your eyes open. Oh right, old classmate, why not stay and have dinner here tonight?" Li Chuan said jovially, "If there's someone you like, you can tell me, I have sharp eyes and can help you check them out."

Watching Li Chuan's focused and handsome silhouette while he cooked, Dong Xiaoxuan could barely contain her emotions, an urge welling up, until she finally blurted out: "Li Chuan, actually I..."

"Tsk tsk! Li Chuan, you're cooking up something so fragrant, let me see, is it chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

Right then, Song Zihan's voice echoed from the living room!

Dong Xiaoxuan got interrupted midway and ended up shyly lowering her head to wash the vegetables.

Li Chuan turned around, saw Song Zihan walking in, and smiled: "You're quite punctual in returning, wait a bit, I'll be done soon."

"Smells so good, it's mouth-watering!"

Song Zihan walked to the kitchen, not minding the presence of others. She went right ahead and hugged Li Chuan's waist from behind, giving him a big kiss on the cheek, then tried to feed him a grape from her mouth.

Li Chuan looked helpless: "I'm cooking now, don't mess around."

Song Zihan giggled, then reached to squeeze Li Chuan's behind: "Chuan! After dinner, help me with a full-body massage, haven't had one in ages, feeling all sore."

Li Chuan found it laughable and exasperating; this little sister-in-law of his still loves teasing him.

He recalled when he first started dating Song Zihan, while his sister-in-law and eldest brother were in the kitchen, she tried connecting with him right there in the living room, quite audacious.

Though thinking about it, it was indeed rather thrilling.

After Song Zihan left, Li Chuan remembered that Dong Xiaoxuan seemed to not finish what she was saying, thus he asked: "Xiaoxuan, what were you going to say earlier?"

"Um... nothing much, nothing important."

With Song Zihan interrupting, Dong Xiaoxuan felt too embarrassed to continue.

Li Chuan chuckled, since she didn't want to say, he certainly wouldn't press on, as it's personal.

After finishing dinner, Dong Xiaoxuan went back to work, while Song Zihan went upstairs to take a bath.

Sitting in the living room, Li Chuan suddenly thought about his landlord sister Wang Xiaoqi.

Wang Xiaoqi is also at Bafang Media, but she's doing it just for fun, not having many followers, hence not being highly valued in the company.

Given Wang Xiaoqi's looks and demeanor, if she could seriously do live streaming, her followers would surely grow quickly.

With this thought, Li Chuan picked up his phone, intending to dial Wang Xiaoqi's number.
