Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 338 - 336: Meeting Failure

Xue Yang was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ming Yue to make such a proposal. Since Ming Yue and Wang Doudou were siblings, her family background was undoubtedly substantial. If he remembered correctly, Wang Doudou’s family was in the film and television industry and owned movie theaters all across the country.

Becoming their company’s spokesperson would be like stepping into the entertainment industry. Not only that, but her family also had a company in the apparel industry. Moreover, it was a cut above Trendy Apparel. Trendy Apparel was merely a domestic affordable luxury brand, while their apparel company was a major international brand that specialized in clothing for the middle-aged and elderly.

Generally, this type of clientele isn’t short of money. What they value isn’t the price tag but the comfort. If they liked an item and found it comfortable and easy to wear, they would be willing to pay for it, no matter how expensive. What’s more, when it comes to buying clothes for their parents, children are usually willing to pay a high price as long as the items are suitable. This is one of the reasons why such clothing brands often have better longevity than those aimed at younger people.

However... "Ming Yue, I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t agree to that."

"Can you tell me why? If there’s some unavoidable reason, maybe I can help you resolve it." Ming Yue knew Xue Yang was the spokesperson for Trendy Apparel. If he were willing, she could help him terminate his contract with them. Paying a termination fee to acquire someone who was a surefire way to attract traffic was a worthwhile trade!

Xue Yang explained, "Because I’m not just the spokesperson for Trendy Apparel; I’m also its executive director. As the director, do you think I can be a spokesperson for another company?"

Ming Yue smiled. "Being the spokesperson for our company would earn you far more than being the executive director at Trendy Apparel."

That was true. After all, her family’s business wasn’t limited to apparel. If he could enter the entertainment industry and master the formula for going viral, he could make money hand over fist.

"It’s my girlfriend’s best friend’s company," Xue Yang said. "Since I promised to help her manage it, I will see it through to the end. Besides, I have my own company, so I really don’t have time to be someone else’s spokesperson."

"Your girlfriend’s best friend?"

Ming Yue’s mind went blank for a moment. She knew that Trendy Apparel Company was actually owned by Si Wen. This was an open secret in the industry, though the general public was unaware.

Si Wen’s best friend...

If Ming Yue recalled correctly, Si Wen had six best friends. Each of them came from considerable wealth, comparable to the Wang Family, and some were even wealthier. The most formidable among them was Lin Xi, the daughter of the Lin Corporation.

Even a family like the Wangs wouldn’t dare to casually establish ties with a figure like the daughter of the Lin Corporation, let alone try to arrange a marriage with Wang Doudou. That was nothing short of a pipe dream. So, she immediately ruled Lin Xi out. She had never heard Xue Yang’s name in the circles of domestic high society, so it was clear he didn’t belong to any major family. That fact alone made it impossible for him to be with Lin Xi.

So, who could it be?

After pondering for a while and coming up with nothing, Ming Yue asked, "May I be bold and ask who your girlfriend is?"

Cui Hao opened his mouth, wanting to tell her that Xue Yang’s girlfriend was indeed Lin Xi, but after a moment’s thought, he held his tongue.

They’ve been together for so long without going public. It must mean they aren’t ready for everyone to know. After all, she’s the daughter of the Lin Corporation. If their relationship became public, it would be tantamount to declaring Xue Yang the future son-in-law of the corporation. Would Chairman Lin approve? If I were Chairman Lin, I wouldn’t let my daughter marry an ordinary man, would I? Even if this ordinary man is clever and might become a significant figure one day, I’d have to wait until that day truly arrived to give my consent. Otherwise, I would absolutely refuse.

At this thought, Cui Hao suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for his friend.

Having a wealthy girlfriend is nice, but a top-tier wealthy girlfriend is a whole other story. Maybe they’re keeping it quiet because they know it can’t last. Forget it. I’m not going to be jealous of him anymore.

"I’m sorry, she’s quite private and prefers to stay out of the spotlight," Xue Yang said politely.

"I apologize, I shouldn’t have asked."

Cui Hao chimed in, "Ah, Ming Yue, you have no idea. Xiang Naier once tried to hire him as a brand ambassador, but he flat-out rejected them."

"Since that’s the case, I won’t insist. Even though we couldn’t become business partners, it was still a pleasure to meet you." After saying this, Ming Yue extended her hand to Xue Yang.

Xue Yang smiled slightly and shook her hand. "It was a pleasure to meet you too. Who knows, perhaps we’ll have a chance to collaborate in the future."

If anyone else had said that, Ming Yue might have thought they were engaging in wishful thinking, but hearing it from Xue Yang, she felt he genuinely had the ability to make it happen. She didn’t know why she felt that way, but she trusted her intuition.

The three of them went to a well-reputed restaurant for a meal. Afterward, Ming Yue made an excuse and left. Xue Yang then drove Cui Hao to pick up his bicycle.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Cui Hao got out of the car. After a moment’s hesitation, he couldn’t resist walking up to the driver’s side window to ask, "Xue Yang, why didn’t you tell her that your girlfriend is the heiress to the Lin Corporation? Is it because you know you two won’t make it to the end?"

"Of course not."

"If that’s not the case, wouldn’t it be better to make it public? Maybe Chairman Lin would approve of your relationship then."

"Xiao Xi and I are together because we want to be. Chairman Lin will approve of our relationship when he believes I can take good care of her and trusts me with her—not because of public opinion."

"I have to admit, you’re a real man, damn it. For that alone, I won’t make fun of you even if you two break up for some reason in the future."

Xue Yang held the steering wheel with both hands, tapping it lightly with his index finger. "You should worry about yourself first."

"What should I worry about?"

"Your first real-life meetup was a failure. How are you going to explain that to everyone?"

Cui Hao froze. It felt like the whole world knew he was meeting someone this Saturday.

"Shuyu put so much effort into your makeover. How are you going to face her?"

Cui Hao’s blood ran cold. He had just told Wei Shuyu that morning that he would treat her to a meal if it was a success.

"Kexin took on all your work these past few days so you could successfully pursue your ’Bai Yueguang.’ What are you going to tell her?"

Cui Hao was horrified. These past few days, he’d been acting as Wei Shuyu’s guinea pig and hadn’t been able to finish his regular work. Yu Kexin had been a true bro and taken over his duties, letting him focus on his drastic makeover.

Cui Hao’s face went deathly pale. "FUCK! SHUT UP!"

He let out a howl of despair, abandoned Xue Yang, and ran off on his own.
