At three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Qingxuan and Zhang Rong descended to Jiang's Group. The place was already filled with people, as the endorsement advertisement and press conference were being held together. Looking around at the various reporters gathered at the entrance, Luo Qingxuan frowned, her brows furrowing elegantly. She hadn't expected such a significant turnout for the Jiang Group's event.
After pushing through the crowd and entering the building, Chen Xuewei approached them directly. "Miss Luo, you're here."
"Hello." After shaking hands, Chen Xuewei quickly outlined Jiang Che's arrangements without any small talk.
"You don't need to memorize any lines; just eat it?" Luo Qingxuan asked, her expression becoming slightly awkward. She had endorsed many beauty products but had never heard such a request before. However, she didn't voice her concerns; after all, she was being paid, and accepting Jiang's money meant she had to follow his requests.
Luo Qingxuan followed Chen Xuewei to the event space, where some reporters were already recording with their cameras. After a brief introduction, Luo Qingxuan ate the Beauty Pill on the spot, as instructed by Chen Xuewei.
"Miss Luo, how do you feel after taking the Beauty Pill?" one of the reporters asked curiously.
"It's sweet," Luo Qingxuan replied, wrinkling her nose in a rather innocent manner.
In less than a moment, a layer of dark dirt appeared on her face, visible to everyone. Seeing this, Chen Xuewei immediately instructed an assistant to bring Luo Qingxuan a basin of clean water. After cleaning her face, obvious changes began to occur. Her skin looked more delicate and smooth than before, and even her small pores seemed to have vanished.
As the reporters witnessed the miraculous effect of the Beauty Pill, they fell silent, all staring in disbelief. The one most astonished was Luo Qingxuan herself; she could genuinely feel the transformation. Her skin had become as white as snow, even more delicate than a baby's. Now she finally understood why Jiang Che was willing to pay such a hefty endorsement fee—cosmetics with such immediate results would undoubtedly sell well! Even if there were only a 3% dividend after a year, that would still amount to hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion!
...
The press conference and endorsement advertisements concluded successfully, and they were busy until six o'clock in the evening.
"Miss Luo, would you like to join us for dinner tonight?" Chen Xuewei asked with a faint smile. "Our chairman is here to invite you."
Luo Qingxuan initially wanted to refuse outright, but Zhang Rong, who was beside her, readily agreed. "No problem! Qingxuan will definitely go, but I'm not sure where the dinner will be held."
"It's at Changteng Garden. I'll call our chairman. Please wait a moment," Chen Xuewei replied before leaving.
"Sister Rong, I have to practice a new song tonight. Why did you agree for me?" Luo Qingxuan said, casting a resentful glance at Zhang Rong. "You know I never attend these
kinds of banquets."
"You can practice new songs at any time, but you must attend the banquet tonight. Just don't drink alcohol," Zhang Rong advised seriously. She understood Luo Qingxuan's concerns. To outsiders, their industry seemed glamorous, but insiders knew how murky it could be. Luo Qingxuan feared that if she attended the banquet, she might be pressured to drink heavily. Refusing the invitation would offend Chairman Jiang and could lead to resentment.
"All right," Luo Qingxuan sighed helplessly. She realized the stakes involved. She had just accepted Jiang's money; it wouldn't look good to decline a meal with him.
Not long after, Chen Xuewei returned, this time accompanied by Jiang Che.
"You two have been waiting for a while. This is our chairman, Jiang Che," Chen Xuewei introduced with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Jiang Che," Luo Qingxuan said. With a warm smile on his face, Jiang Che extended his hand in greeting. Upon seeing him, both Luo Qingxuan and Zhang Rong were taken aback. They had initially envisioned Jiang Che as a middle-aged man with a large belly, but instead, he was a remarkably handsome young man.
"Miss Luo..." Chen Xuewei noticed Luo Qingxuan was momentarily distracted, and she waved her hand in front of her eyes. She knew Jiang Che was incredibly attractive; he was practically a heartthrob for young women! But she hadn't expected Luo Qingxuan to be so mesmerized.
"Ha ha... Hello, Luo Qingxuan," Luo Qingxuan said awkwardly as she regained her composure and shook Jiang Che's hand. As soon as they touched, Jiang Che withdrew his hand, displaying gentlemanly behavior.
"The two of you have traveled a long way to Jiangbei City, so I must show my hospitality as your host. A banquet has been arranged at Changteng Garden tonight; please come along."
Luo Qingxuan and Zhang Rong got into one car, while Jiang Che and Chen Xuewei entered another. The two Maybachs started up and slowly made their way toward Changteng Garden.
On the way, Jiang Che turned to Chen Xuewei and asked curiously, "Is it just the two of them? Why isn't there a male escort?"
Jiang Che had expected Luo Qingxuan to be accompanied by a male manager or someone else, but now it appeared he was mistaken. The young woman named Zhang Rong should be her manager. Although he initially wanted to entertain Luo Qingxuan and her companion on a whim, Jiang Che had to prioritize his role as the protagonist.
"Only Luo Qingxuan and Zhang Rong. No men," Chen Xuewei confirmed, shaking her head. She wasn't sure why Jiang Che asked, but she answered truthfully.
