Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up

Chapter 124: Are You Talking About Jiang Xun?

She didn’t say that she had to leave immediately; since Yicheng had already promoted her stream, she couldn’t just cut things off abruptly.

In the meantime, Kesi and the others weren’t aware that the livestream was currently showing what Jiang Xun was doing. They were watching in surprise as Jiang Xun ate big mouthfuls of food without any hint that she was forcing herself to do so.

Her stomach was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much food there was, it could be stuffed into it.

Was she a reincarnated hungry ghost?!

“I didn’t eat my fill in the morning,” Jiang Xun said to her phone as she ate. “But I can make up for the lack of breakfast with the big lunch here.”

Seeing this, Tianqing said to the three male guests with a faint smile, “If you really want to pursue Jiang Xun, you have to first consider whether you can afford her…eating habits. “It doesn’t matter if it’s just one or two meals. If you eat your meals this way, I’m afraid even the landlord’s family won’t have any extra food.”

The three male guests: “...”

Tianqing’s words weren’t wrong.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun ended the livestream very quickly.

She really finished all the lunch for the eight of them. There wasn’t even a little bit left over.

After she ended her livestream, the audience returned to “Unfulfilled Lovers\'” livestream. When the production team saw that the number of viewers had risen again, they finally felt relieved.

And so, the filming of the first episode finally ended with an undertone of fear.

......

Jiang Xun carried her suitcase and left the villa.

The production team returned to the company and started another meeting.

“When you head back, write up a contingency plan for unexpected situations,” Shuli said in the meeting room. “All of you, think about the possible unexpected situations that might occur during the next livestream of the programs, as well as solutions to deal with them.”

“... Director, are you talking about Jiang Xun?”

“... If you know, why are you still asking?”

Gu Xiaoze had already entered the Gu Corporation as an intern.

On Monday, Qinghui, Xiaoze’s father, called Xiaoze to his office.

When Xiaoze entered, he saw that Manager Xu, who was from the public relations department, was also there.

Xiaoze politely greeted him.

“Sit.” Qinghui pointed to the chair opposite the desk next to Manager Xu.

“This is information about celebrities that Manager Xu has compiled. Take a look; who do you think is more suitable to be our company’s new spokesperson?” Qinghui pointed to the information on the desk.

The Gu Corporation owned a shoe brand, Gushi, which sold all kinds of leather shoes and sports shoes.

The contract with their previous spokesperson was about to expire, and the company had no intention of renewing it.

There was a lot of new blood in the entertainment industry. Unless the partnership between the two parties had reached an unbreakable stage, it would not be necessary to always have the same person be their spokesperson.

“Previously, because of the scandal with the dating show, our company suffered a lot of losses. So this time, we plan to hire a celebrity who can endorse us with more goods,” Qinghui said. “I don’t know much about young artists these days. You young people pay more attention to them, so you come and take a look.”

Xiaoze knew that Qinghui also wanted to test him.

He spread out the documents onto the table and read through all the celebrity profiles until one of them caught his eye—though not in a good way.

“Jiang Xun?” Xiaoze’s brows furrowed. He raised his head and asked Qinghui, “Aren’t these all celebrity profiles? Why is Jiang Xun here? She’s just an internet celebrity.”

Qinghui didn’t answer, so Manager Xu explained, “Among the requests made by the president, the most important thing we look for in a spokesperson is the ability to advertise our goods. The celebrities I selected are all excellent in this regard, but most of them are paid by their fans, creating the impression that celebrities have a strong appeal. But in fact, after our investigation, Jiang Xun’s ability to sell goods extends beyond her fans.”

“Take Yi Lan as an example,” he continued. “All the styles of clothes Jiang Xun has worn have been sold out, without exception. Conversely, the clothes in colors that she hasn’t worn have not experienced any change in sales,” Manager Xu explained, “So I think we can consider Yi Lan’s approach and work with her to promote our products first. There’s no need to hire her as a spokesperson. After all, hiring an online celebrity to be the spokesperson of our brand is indeed a little demeaning, but it doesn’t matter if it’s for promotional purposes only.”

“Don’t you know that she’s the one who caused our company to suffer losses in the first place?” Xiaoze was displeased. Jiang Xun wanted to earn money from the Gu Family? No way!

“I know,” Manager Xu said. “However, Jiang Xun’s ability to advertise goods is indeed outstanding. She became a top internet celebrity in a short period of time, and her ability to advertise goods is much better than other internet celebrities. Currently, there is really no one who can fight against her. Furthermore, I have also considered the previous conflict between Jiang Xun and the Gu Corporation. If Jiang Xun is allowed to help with promoting us, it will still show that we are magnanimous and choose not to hold grudges against her. It will be beneficial to our reputation.”

“No.” Xiaoze threw the profile onto the table. “I know that we should separate business from personal matters, but I will not agree to this matter, no matter what anyone says. I will not agree to invite Jiang Xun, no matter what kind of collaboration it is.”

“There are so many internet celebrities, and she’s not the only one with the ability to advertise goods.” Xiaoze pursed his lips in displeasure. “Moreover, since it’s the Gu family’s company, it’s not a big deal if I don’t separate business and personal matters in this small matter.”

Jiang Xun had just exposed him, so if he went crawling to her for a promotional collaboration, wouldn’t it make the company seem extremely cheap?

“Moreover, the Gu Corporation didn’t target her because of this. It’s already magnanimous enough. We don’t need to rely on cooperating with her to show the GU Corporation’s magnanimity,” Xiaoze said in a deep voice. “If we go on with this, people will even think that the Gu Corporation is easy to step on—’Jiang Xun slapped them in the face, but they still went to her for a collaboration!’ They’ll say things like that.”

Xiaoze glanced at Qinghui and cleared his throat. “Of course, this is only my personal opinion. In the end, you’ll be the one making the final decision, Father,” he said calmly, neither servile nor overbearing.

Qinghui was not angry at his son’s words. It wasn’t bad, hearing him speak so frankly.

Moreover, he had a point when it came to one thing: that the company belonged to the Gu family. For personal reasons, it was really not a big deal to not be willing to work with a small internet celebrity.

With such a big group, could it be that they could not even have this little privilege?

With their status and power, it was very common for them not to work with celebrities they did not like, not to mention a small internet celebrity like Jiang Xun.

Qinghui took Jiang Xun’s information out of the pile of papers and threw it into the trash bin by his feet. “She’s just a small Internet celebrity. If you don’t want to invite her, then don’t. No matter how good she is at selling goods, it’s nothing compared to the sales of the entire group.”

“Among the remaining people, who do you think is suitable?” he asked Xiaoze.

Xiaoze thought to himself that it was a pity that Yuexi was not famous yet, or he would have asked her to be the spokesperson. He would have been able to make her famous and convenience his own company at the same time without needing to benefit anyone else.

“Yu Mingshu, I think.” Xiaoze had already thought about it. At this moment, he spoke as if he had a plan at hand. “Although she has recently moved to the domestic market, she still has the title of an international supermodel. In the eyes of the public, she is still quite cool. Moreover, as a supermodel, she knows how to better express her products, especially fashion items like shoes that need a supermodel’s experience. Whether it’s sports shoes or leather shoes of various styles, she should be able to handle them.”
