  Luo Chen was speechless. “.……”


  Ye Wanwan looked at Gong Xu. “Are you sure you want to take this?”


  Actually, she also thought this advertisement could be done. Although there weren’t any examples now, in the near future, there would be quite a few male artists who endorsed female products. Also, most of them were popular newbies and the results weren’t bad – it was just that there wasn’t anybody right now who was the pioneer in doing these kinds of endorsements.

  Gong Xu rolled his eyes and giggled. “Sure, but boss, I’m making such a huge sacrifice this time and taking so much for the team – can I get a reward?”


  Ye Wanwan: “.……”??I really don’t see which part of him is suffering……

  “What reward do you want? Other than junk food.”


  Gong Xu hung his head low when he heard the last four words. “No junk food then, I want some meat……”


  Ye Wanwan: “.……”??Can’t you have other requests?

  Upon seeing how pitiful Gong Xu was, Ye Wanwan’s heart softened. “Okay.”
……

  At night, at a certain fashion party:

  The ballroom was filled with people in perfumed clothes and gorgeous hair. It was a grand party and fashion icons?from all walks of life and?superstars were gathered in one place.

  In the past, Chai Yong Li had people all around him, but at this moment, he was alone with just a photographer, Xiao Yu Tong, next to him.

  In contrast, the chief editor of?Beauty?magazine, Liang Chong, was surrounded by stars greeting him and speaking highly of him. This upcoming issue ofBeauty??hadn’t even been officially put up for sale, yet it was already so popular and Liang Chong’s status as the chief editor had risen as well.

  “Congratulation, chief editor Liang. Seems like the sales for this issue will break the record again!”


  “It’s been hard for the magazine industry these two years, but the preorders forBeauty??have already reached close to 20,000 copies. Aside from chief editor Liang, who would’ve been able to achieve this?”


  Liang Chong laughed. “Everyone, you’re too kind. It’s all thanks to you guys for giving me face!”


  “Oh yes, who did?VIVI?invite for their cover shoot this time? Seem like the movie queen, You Si Fei?” someone asked.

  Beauty??magazine’s photographer, Yao Rui, glanced in Chai Yong Li’s direction on purpose and spoke loftily, “Si Fei already ended her contract with them. She only agreed to be on the cover for one week because of their past relations, but that Chai Yong Li went overboard and had all sorts of requests that pissed Si Fei off, so she didn’t do the shoot in the end. She just confirmed her collaboration with us for the next issue!”


  “Tsk, that’s too much, huh? Chai Yong Li’s concepts have long been outdated, yet he still pretended to be smart and gave advice to the movie queen. No wonder she was mad and wants to collaborate with?Beauty?instead – this is a wise choice!”


  Xiao Yu Tong glanced coldly at the group of people around Liang Chong.

  In the past, these people were the ones who admired Chai Yong Li’s attitude for demanding perfection, but right now, they were saying he was pretending to be smart.

  It was like this in this industry – there weren’t any forever friends, only forever benefits……

  Chai Yong Li brushed them off. He was already used to such situations. He asked Xiao Yu Tong, “Have you prepared the preorders and announcement for this issue?”


  Xiao Yu Tong nodded. “I prepared them already.”


  Finally, they managed to catch up and wouldn’t have a blank issue. Otherwise,VIVI??would really lose face this time.

  Too bad?VIVI?already lost its influence and would never be able to return to its former glory……

  Right at this moment, Cai Yong Sheng and Lucy Yang entered the ballroom. The two of them stole the limelight and everyone went up to chat with them the moment they arrived.

  Cai Yong Sheng had a wide smile as he walked over with Lucy Yang. “Chief editor Liang, congratulations on the huge sales volumes!”


  Liang Chong was in a good mood and he raised his glass. “Director Cai, let me give you a toast. After all, it’s all thanks to director Cai’s good luck that our magazine exploded in sales and Lucy did outstandingly well too!”


  Chapter 845: An exaggerated opinion of one’s own abilities

  Translator: eunimon_ Editor: Caron_

  Lucy Yang replied humbly, “Nah, all the credit goes to chief editor Liang and the photographer!”


  Cai Yong Sheng was over the moon. “Chief editor Liang, you’re too kind. I hope we’ll have more opportunities to collaborate in the future!”


  Liang Chong hurriedly said, “Of course! It’s an honor to work alongside a capable manager like director Cai!”


  Everybody was tossing back toast after toast and engaging in small talk when there was a sudden silence in the air.

  At the door, Ye Wanwan, Ye Mu Fan, Gong Xu, and Luo Chen walked in.

  Chai Yong Li was the one who helped them get the tickets. Otherwise, the host wouldn’t have invited them because of Worldwide’s ban.

  Xiao Yu Tong waved. “Mr. Ye, over here!”


  Ye Wanwan and the others walked over. “Yu Tong-jie, you look beautiful!”


  Xiao Yu Tong blushed. “Thank you! The four of you are the good-looking ones – my eyes were completely blinded by you guys!”


  Upon seeing Ye Wanwan standing with Chai Yong Li, the little artist next to Lucy Yang scoffed, “Birds of the same feather flock together, huh! The Ye Bai today is only good enough to mingle with those outdated companies!”


  Lucy Yang waved. “That’s just too bad for them. Without Worldwide backing him, there’s no way Ye Bai could collaborate with a company like?Beauty?.”


  “I remember when we wanted to have a couple shot on the cover. Not only did Ye Bai disapprove of it, but he even warned that we would be responsible for the consequences but right now? Are these the so-called consequences he was referring to? Haha……”


  The few artists and fashion icons next to her said in a surprised tone, “That actually happened? I thought Ye Bai had quite good taste? I heard he’s great at both PR and planning!”


  The little artist said, “That’s why he portrayed himself as such an amazing person, but in reality, his fame was more than he deserves……”


  Cai Yong Sheng was displeased. “That guy thought he’s so great just because he’s a vice-president. If it wasn’t for my uncle trying to drive out Zhou Wen Bin, would Ye Bai have gotten his status so easily? That guy was just a chess piece in my uncle’s hands, yet he still didn’t realize his own position and thought he really was an important figure!”


  Liang Chong laughed. “Oh well, youngsters are like that. They have an exaggerated opinion of their own abilities!”


  His eyes lit up as he spoke and he said with a faint smile, “I also heard Ye Bai turned around and went to work with?VIVI??”


  Lucy Yang chuckled when she heard that. “Yeah, that’s right. They also copied us – it was also a couple shot, but it was Gong Xu and Luo Chen, two grown men, on the cover together. They’ve?exhausted their limited abilities and abandoned themselves at the point of despair, huh?”


  Liang Chong shook his head and sighed. “Ay, in the past,?VIVI?was also considered our senior and an old name in the fashion industry. I didn’t expect they would degrade themselves and collaborate with just anybody……”


  Cai Yong Sheng hurriedly said, “Haha, how could Chai Yong Li, that old thing, compare to chief editor Liang? Everyone calls you the leader in the fashion industry now!”


  Cai Yong Li gave a thumbs up.

  Liang Chong was delighted with the boot-licking. He said, “Oh right, for our special publication this year, I’ve already chosen Lucy……”


  Cai Yong Sheng was surprised and immediately pulled Lucy Yang over to give a toast to Liang Chong. “Thank you so much! Lucy, give a toast to chief editor Liang……”
……

  Very soon, the party came to an end. Ye Wanwan, Chai Yong Li and the others were at the entrance, about to leave, when someone called out to Chai Yong Li all of a sudden.

  All they saw was a lady in an expensive customized evening gown with a red fur waistcoat over it. She had a delicate face and her lofty gaze had a tinge of displeasure as she looked at Chai Yong Li.
