Chapter 77: They'll roll it up themselves without me having to urge them.
Yun Yiyi chose extreme restraint, speaking almost no lines throughout, simply sitting in a virtual chair with her hands clasped together.
His eyes were vacant, staring blankly into the empty space ahead, occasionally blinking, his lips trembling slightly. The suppressed anxiety and fear were far more impactful than any shout. The entire classroom was deathly silent.
Teacher Yan commented, "Yun Yiyi has found the power of 'stillness,' but it is important to note that stillness is not the same as emptiness; one must let people see the undercurrents beneath the 'stillness.'"
Chu Yao drew the theme "Luxury Store... Chu Yao is an arrogant VIP customer, and her partner is a cautious shop assistant."
As Chu Yao stood there, her curvaceous figure, encased in a satin shirt, shone with jewels and radiated beauty.
She crossed her legs, her long, black-stockinged legs pressed together, her toes dangling from her stiletto heels. Her gaze was languid yet held a condescending scrutiny. Her red lips parted slightly: "These are all the new styles for this season?"
That tone, that aura—she brought to life a wealthy socialite who thought, "I'm rich, I'm your God."
Teacher Yan commented, "The aura is there, but the character is a bit thin. You could add one or two small details that show another side of the character."
When the bell rang, Shen Li felt she had gained a lot from the class. Not only professionally, but also in terms of "intelligence".
He noticed a detail... During Chu Yao's performance, her gaze swept towards Yun Yiyi several times. It wasn't a casual look, but rather a scrutinizing, comparative, and even subtly... competitive one?
Yun Yiyi remained expressionless throughout, not even lifting her eyelids. The atmosphere between the two was somewhat awkward.
"Interesting." Shen Li made another note in her mental notebook, "Chu Yao and Yun Yiyi seem to have a hidden rivalry. One is a glamorous and resourceful woman, the other is a cold, elegant, and powerful woman. On the surface, they keep to themselves, but they may be secretly competing with each other."
As I walked out of the classroom, Song Qian was already waiting at the door.
Today she's still wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, completely bare-faced, but her figure is just too good... As the hem of the hoodie sways, you can vaguely see a taut, flat waist, and her legs, wrapped in sweatpants, are straight and long, and the round, perky curve of her buttocks is still clearly visible under the loose fabric.
She held up her phone and waved it at Shen Li.
"Shen Li! I watched your 'Lili Run' promotional video. Ling Yingying's part, wow, it was so alluring! And mine, why was it so short? Me, a talented directing student, only got three seconds?"
Shen Li quickly put on a smiling face:
"Senior Song, those three seconds of yours were the cream of the crop! 'Can't direct? Come to me. I'll transform you.' That line, that aura, that confidence—three seconds of yours is worth thirty seconds of anyone else's! Besides, your 'director's guidance' service is in-depth content. Leaving some suspense in the promotional video will encourage users to click and see more details."
Song Qian felt incredibly pleased by this flattery, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"You know how to talk. By the way, Yun Yiyi said hers was okay too, just the lighting was a bit dim. Have Jingyang add a few more shots later."
Shen Li glanced at Yun Yiyi beside her.
The latter maintained her aloof expression, wearing a black dress and black stockings with a low-cut back, her shoulder blades gleaming delicately in the sunlight. She didn't speak, but simply nodded.
"No problem! I'll take care of things with Jingyang." Shen Li patted her chest confidently.
Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Dai Xiao in the 512 dormitory group chat:
"The second round of testing for the payment points system in the 'LiLiRun' V1.0 beta version has been completed. Bugs have been fixed. Currently, there are 23 registered beta users, including 7 of our own and 16 wild users recruited by Yang Yi. Wild user feedback: The interface is okay, but apart from Ling Yingying, no one in the 'Celebrity Deliveryman' module has ever taken an order. It feels like a zombie function."
Shen Li stared at the message, her brows furrowing.
This is indeed a problem. There are a lot of celebrity delivery drivers listed, but only Ling Yingying has actually taken on any orders.
She was a bit of a show-off, just looking for fun, and took two "chatting" service orders... which basically meant chatting with the guys who placed the orders. It cost 100 yuan an hour, and she chatted away so well that the clients said, "It was worth the price, I'll definitely order again next time."
But Song Qian, Yun Yiyi, Chu Yao, Lan Xiu, and others, although they posted their information, didn't take on a single job. Some didn't have time, some weren't interested, and some were just putting on airs and waiting to be asked.
"We need to think of a way to motivate these fairy-like ladies." Shen Li stroked her chin, her eyes darting around.
A sudden idea popped into his head.
"Brother Xiao," Shen Li replied in the group chat.
"Could we add a 'bidding' feature to the 'Celebrity Deliveryman' module? Users could bid to 'auction' the celebrity deliveryman's time, with the highest bidder winning. This would highlight the 'scarcity' of celebrity deliverymen and increase user engagement. And for the celebrity deliverymen, seeing someone bid for them would surely boost their vanity!"
Dai Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then replied:
"Technically feasible. However, a real-time bidding system needs to be added, with a development cycle of approximately three to five days. In addition, a bidding cap and a mechanism to prevent malicious bidding are required."
Jing Yang chimed in: "Holy crap! Bidding? Isn't this just like the 'Auction Goddess' competition? Shen Li, your brain is amazing! I agree! I'll be the first to bid on Senior Ling Yingying's bid!"
Ling Yingying herself chimed in the group chat: "??? Jing Yang, you want to film me? Do you even have the money?"
Jingyang: "Oh, I... I'll save up."
The group chat erupted in laughter.
Shen Li ignored these clowns and continued to finalize the technical details with Dai Xiao.
The core logic of the bidding function is that users bid on the services of a celebrity errand runner (such as "Ling Yingying's one hour of chatting" or "Song Qian's one hour of directorial guidance"). The starting price is determined by the platform and the celebrity errand runner through negotiation, and each bid increment is no less than 10 yuan.
After a successful bid, the platform takes a 20% cut, and the remainder goes to the celebrity delivery person. If the celebrity delivery person refuses the order, they will need to pay a penalty (deducted from their deposit).
"If this feature goes live, it'll be an absolute sensation," Shen Li thought smugly.
"Those goddess-like ladies usually act aloof and don't take orders because there's no 'competition.' But once they see someone bidding against them, raising the price, and fighting tooth and nail for them, their sense of superiority will skyrocket. They'll be all set for themselves without me even having to urge them."
As he was pondering this, his phone vibrated again. This time it was a WeChat message from Xiao Zhao.
"Shen Li, why did you pair up with Jiang Li again in acting class today? [Feeling wronged][Feeling wronged]"
Shen Li stared at the message, alarm bells ringing in his mind. This woman with the peach-shaped buttocks was truly persistent. A plan formed in his mind.
"Xiao Zhao, it's not that I don't want to work with you. It's just that Jiang Li helped me practice my posture tonight, so I'm just returning the favor. [Grinning face] How about this, I'll start a 'performance partner' service on 'Lili Run' later. You place the order, and I'll take it. It's legal and compliant, and we can act together. What do you think?"
