Ye Qin

"Feel better?" Su Rui asked, tilting his head after they left the Film and Television City.

"Partially…" Li Ruobing nodded, pulling out a file from the glove compartment in the passenger seat.

"Candidate files?" Su Rui asked again.

"That's right." Li Ruobing rubbed her temples. Although she had vented some of the frustration in her heart, Mingzhu's current predicament remained unresolved.

Tao Wanqing was seriously injured, and Mingzhu needed a new spokesperson for its promotion.

And they needed to find one within ten days!

There was less than half a month until the new store opening. Not to mention the scheduling issues with popular female stars, Mingzhu Company was just a local brand in Tongzhou City and had not yet formed a chain industry. Nationally, it could only be considered a small brand that was just starting out.

From the perspective of the current entertainment industry, most popular female stars were unwilling to accept endorsements for such small brands.

Because it didn't fit their status.

Even the previous spokesperson, Tao Wanqing, had signed the contract with Mingzhu because of the close relationship between the head of Huayi and Li Ruobing.

Finding a female star who met Li Ruobing's expectations in such a short time…

It was difficult, extremely difficult.

If there was absolutely no other way, she could only lower her standards or postpone the opening date, but doing so would definitely have a certain impact on the Qiantang New Store.

She looked at the资料 silently.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

"I'll handle the spokesperson matter," Su Rui suddenly said with a smile. "Since I'm already the person in charge of the Qiantang New Store, assisting with the opening promotion is naturally my responsibility!"

Li Ruobing looked up at Su Rui.

"You know people in the entertainment industry too?"

"I can get to know them anytime." Su Rui nodded. "As for connections, when you make more friends, you naturally get involved with people from many fields."

Li Ruobing didn't doubt Su Rui's social skills; she was just worried that the person Su Rui found wouldn't be influential enough.

"I need a hot female star. Don't even consider those third and fourth-tier minor artists."

"Of course, absolutely heavyweight! Anyway, it's about making money… As long as the money is enough, even a Best Actress will put aside her so-called reserve and status. No one is uninterested in money." Su Rui said without any hint of bragging, waving his hand. "You can choose whoever you want. As long as she meets your requirements, no matter who it is, I can invite her!"

"Anyone?" Li Ruobing asked, glancing sideways.

"Anyone." Su Rui shrugged.

"What about her?" Li Ruobing unlocked her phone screen and magnified a photo from a certain concert for Su Rui to see.

In the center of the stage, a girl in a plain long dress stood there like a proud swan, the focus of countless eyes.

Below the stage were tens of thousands of fervent fans waving glow sticks and support boards!

Ye Qin.

A popular new generation Leading Actress, Best Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Award, Best Actress at the China Film Golden Rooster Award, 2019 Entertainment Trendsetter Best Newcomer, and hailed as the Chinese Female Star most likely to step onto the Oscar Best Actress stage before the age of 28.

In the three years since her debut, she had won everyone's recognition with her explosive acting skills and rigorous, dedicated attitude. Her film "Peerless Under Heaven" even won her all the major awards at film festivals, was even reviewed by CCTV, and gained international acclaim.

And most importantly, not only was she thriving in the film industry, but her singing voice was also a rare find.

Her voice was ethereal, like the sound of nature!

Just a few weeks ago, her first solo concert held at Jingbei Stadium caused a huge sensation.

This was a powerful Film and Music female star!

In terms of influence, she definitely exceeded Li Ruobing's expectations.

Su Rui paused after seeing the photo, then the corner of his mouth curved up and he smiled, "Her… simple, give me two days."

Li Ruobing blinked. "Only two days?"

She had only mentioned Ye Qin as a test. It would be understandable if Su Rui refused, because someone as popular as her would basically not be interested in a municipal enterprise like this.

Li Ruobing had tried contacting the agents of female stars of the same level before, but the calls were always hung up directly and decisively.

"Because she's a bit special, I'll need more time. If it were Tang Hong or Lin Manman, one day would be enough…" Su Rui said casually.

Li Ruobing frowned.

Tang Hong, Lin Manman, these were female stars of the same level as Ye Qin, even debuting earlier than her. Their perspective and ambition had long been nurtured to be extremely arrogant, but Su Rui said it would only take one day to invite them.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Li Ruobing raised her eyebrows and reminded him, "The new store opening is imminent, and there isn't much cash on hand. Even if you want to invite a spokesperson, you have to consider the cost."

Yes.

Li Ruobing thought Su Rui wanted to use a huge endorsement fee to make it happen.

"Ten million." Su Rui extended a finger and waved it in front of Li Ruobing. "To invite Ye Qin, it only takes ten million."

The car fell silent again.

Li Ruobing's eyes shifted, seemingly considering the truth of the matter.

For a hot female star like Ye Qin, a ten million endorsement fee was really very, very low. It was almost impossible!

If someone else had said this, Li Ruobing would have told him to get lost without hesitation.

But Su Rui was someone who could turn the impossible into possible.

Since meeting him, a series of events had proven... this man couldn't be viewed with ordinary eyes!

"When we get back to the company, go to finance and get the money." Li Ruobing nodded, her curiosity piqued again. "Anything you need my cooperation on, just say the word."

"There's only one thing I need you to do."

"What?"

"If I act a little intimate with Ye Qin during our interaction, don't get jealous." Su Rui smiled.

Li Ruobing froze for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

"It seems you still don't understand our previous relationship. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend now, nor are we husband and wife... Who you want to be intimate with, what does that have to do with me? Why would I be jealous?" Li Ruobing said stiffly, looking at Su Rui with an expression as if she were looking at someone with an intellectual disability. "Could it be that something I said last night caused you some misunderstanding?"

Hearing Li Ruobing's frosty reply, Su Rui smiled instead.

The more she said that, the more anxious she was to distance herself, which showed how guilty she felt.

"Whether you're jealous or not, you know it yourself... I'm just giving you a heads-up. To get close to Ye Qin, I'll need to use some unconventional methods. If you don't mind... I'll start preparing!" Su Rui said with a smile.

"Aren't you being a little too arrogant?" Li Ruobing crossed her arms over her chest and sneered mockingly. "Forget about being intimate with Ye Qin, even if you manage to get her, that's your ability. I won't interfere at all!"

"Alright, it's a deal then." Su Rui smiled and started the car directly.

They arrived at the Mingzhu Headquarters.

Su Rui left Li Ruobing alone in the company while he walked downstairs.

In the underground parking lot.

Sitting in the car, Su Rui took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello, Brother Su... What's up?" Manager Wan hadn't expected Su Rui to call him again so soon.

"Manager Wan, when are you coming back to Tongzhou?" Su Rui asked directly.

"Around three in the afternoon, I guess... What is it? Did something happen?" Manager Wan's attitude was very warm.

"There's something I need your help with, it's hard to explain over the phone... Let's meet after you get back!" Su Rui said, choosing his words carefully.
