Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 673 - 8: Parties A and B_3

Chu River nodded, knowing that this endorsement event was probably the scene where the second male lead meets Chen Ningbai.

At the moment, Zhou Bai seemed quite normal, but what if Chen Ningbai is just like Qin Manman, making people feel dumb at first sight...then she’ll have to be cautious!

She asked casually, "Which celebrity did you get to endorse this?"

This was precisely one of President Xiao Zhou’s proud ideas!

He raised his head proudly and said, "Got twenty of them!"

Wow!

Chu River was quite surprised, the heroine’s aura is strong indeed, twenty endorsers, and the second male lead recognized her at first glance?

Alas, such a good young man, how did he get interested in this feudal nonsense?

"Out of these twenty, who do you like the most?" she asked seriously.

Zhou Bai: ... How should I choose?

The group hasn’t even finished selecting yet!

Fearing being underestimated, he hummed and hawed, diverting attention, "Well, how many of the recently debuted celebrities do you know?"

He casually turned on the TV.

Coincidentally, the chocolate advertisement on the screen featured Chen Ningbai as the lead.

Chu River’s expression became subtle.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Ningbai was also angry.

She was now considered a popular stream, though still different from truly top-tier ones, yet with the recent talent show just concluded, it was truly her moment of blooming glory.

The endorsements arranged by her agent amounted to two or three.

For a rookie starting from a talent show, this was already like a chosen one.

For example, the chocolate advertisement now constantly playing in videos, with an endorsement fee of 1.6 million, was definitely not low for a newcomer like Chen Ningbai.

But at this moment, there’s only a little over 100,000 in the bank account – the agency took a 90% cut, and she still had to pay the taxes herself!

It’s simply outrageous!

This more than 100,000 might seem like a large sum to ordinary people, but for Chen Ningbai, she hates it when people take things from her hands.

She looked coldly at the apartment arranged by the company where she lived.

—She can’t go on like this anymore.

Outwardly glamorous, yet year after year working for others, it’s frankly embarrassing to mention!

She needs to find an opportunity.

No matter if it’s President Xie or someone else, she has to get herself out of this mire quickly.

Moreover, constantly putting herself out there isn’t a solution. She needs to find a family that matches her status, preferably where she can be the master right after entering, facilitating her to stabilize her position.

And that short-sighted agent...

Chen Ningbai looked on with disdain.

Right then, the agent called:

"Ningning, the gathering for tomorrow is canceled, so just rest at home for a day!"

Chen Ningbai frowned:

"What’s going on? How could the gathering be canceled? Wasn’t it set for Hanqi Intelligence to choose an endorser?"

The agent sighed on the other end:

"Sigh, all the channels have been put in place, and we had a pretty good chance this time. But who would’ve thought President Xiao Zhou suddenly got a whim, not wanting any celebrity this time, saying he wants to use all amateurs for the advertisement..."

With this, all the previous painstaking preparations went down the drain.

Chen Ningbai hung up the phone, feeling even more restless.

But then she thought, based on the information she could gather, President Xiao Zhou and Old President Zhou didn’t get along.

Suddenly proposing such an outrageous and mindless suggestion, could it be the father and son vying for power and clashing?

After all, in the Great Zheng Dynasty, for something to sell well, it either had to bear the name of the Imperial Family or appear on a favored concubine or noble woman.

The base is eternally drawn towards the Duke’s family.

The promotional tactics from previous lifetimes, when applied today, are akin to having a celebrity endorse a product.

Isn’t President Xiao Zhou out of his mind?

Amateurs? Aren’t those just ordinary folk?

What reputable family would willingly lower their status to use the same things as them?

Truly an embroidered pillow stuffed with straw!

However, with the father and son not on good terms and President Xiao Zhou eager to achieve something... this is quite a good breakthrough point!

Chen Ningbai sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, then picked up her phone:

"Brother Qian, I think we can’t just sit back like this; we need to fight for what we should."

"I heard President Xiao Zhou of Hanqi Intelligence is quite the playboy; can we find out the places he frequents?"

"Anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to have more contact."
