Chapter 49 Excessive
The next morning, Su Yinxue and Yang Fei left the house early.
Su Yinxue was a clever person who understood the art of business packaging extremely well.
Despite her severe shortage of funds, she still rented a Bentley to get around.
A luxury car paired with Su Yinxue's elegant and fashionable attire, and her expensive yet simple jewelry,
perfectly accentuated the image of a major company's female president.
Sometimes, putting on an act is a necessary tactic in modern business.
In fact, through Yang Fei's eyes, this female president had a naturally born, dignified, and elegant demeanor.
Even without any packaging, just with her powerful and icy aura alone, she could dominate any partner in cooperation.
Of course, this excluded cunning scoundrels like Long Shaoyang.
Yang Fei took on the role of bodyguard and driver, dressing quite formally as well.
His trim black suit made his slender frame look exceptionally stylish.
His sharply contoured face with slightly long but short hair, made him look handsome and full of masculine charm.
These features, combined with the habitual wicked smile on his lips and the devilish look in his eyes,
could enchant any woman at first sight.
In fact, when Yang Fei happily ran his hand through his hair, coming down from upstairs,
Li Hong Axiang and a few other girls blushed, unable to even look at Yang Fei.
Even Sister Lian Xueyi teased with a laugh, "Tsk, this guy could go be a male model, a perfect clothes hanger indeed."
Data upgrade to Server-grade NVIDIA DGX™ A100 systems, however, was merely the uniform of Lanting Hotel.
This guy turned a two hundred bucks uniform into something extraordinary; he really was a monster!
Yang Fei drove the car towards the studio.
Today, the minor celebrity finally agreed to start shooting the commercial.
But she only gave Yalan International a half-day window.
Moreover, the two million endorsement fee had to be delivered on-site.
At this moment, Su Yinxue was on her way to deliver the endorsement fee to the minor celebrity.
The car moved like a fish in water through the congested traffic.
The high-performance Bentley, under Yang Fei's driving, truly demonstrated the advantages of a luxury car,
while Su Yinxue, sitting in the back seat, was busy beyond belief, even while in the car.
She reviewed various reports, contracts, and signed them.
And almost every one or two minutes, a phone call would come in, keeping her so busy she almost wished she had three heads and six arms.
Yang Fei drove, occasionally using the rear-view mirror to glance at Su Yinxue, who was frantically busy.
The female boss was dressed very formally today, her hair done up high, and her neck as elegant and long as a swan's.
She wore a black OL uniform with a white embroidered blouse inside.
With her bending over, a deep cleavage was faintly visible at the loosened neckline.
Just then, Su Yinxue's phone rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, her face showed a helpless bitter smile.
Su Yinxue answered the phone, "Miss Qiqi, I am already hurrying over."
"Traffic is terrible on the road, but in one or two minutes, I should definitely be able to reach the studio."
"Hmph, Boss Su, if I don't get my endorsement fee, I won't start working."
"Also, the only time I've left for Yalan International is this morning."
"I have an important date this afternoon. Do you know who my agent arranged for me to meet? It'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
Yang Fei drove the Bentley, but the shrill voice from the other end of the phone traveled distinctly into his ears.
Unable to resist, Yang Fei turned back to look at Su Yinxue.
He saw the Ice Queen boss with a grim expression, looking very upset.
Yet she still clenched her lips tightly, saying nothing.
"Idiot, it's just a green tea bitch. What's so great about that!" Yang Fei lazily cursed.
Su Yinxue immediately put up a finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.
The voice from the phone went on proudly, "Actually, I can tell you a bit."
"The person I'm meeting this afternoon is Miss Xu Zhiqing."
"Yes, you heard right, the international superstar, Miss Xu Zhiqing!"
At this point, Miss Qiqi sneered, "Miss Zhiching asked to meet with me because she wanted to invite me to play an important role in her new film."
"Humph, you should understand by now, shouldn't you?"
"A mere two million bucks to have me endorse your company, you're lucky."
"In another month, this young lady's price will no longer be the same!"
Su Yinxue's face looked very unpleasant, but she still remained calm and did not lose her temper.
Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, his mischievous smile becoming exceptionally obvious: "She has come to Yannan as well..."
Su Yinxue heard Yang Fei muttering something but couldn't make it out clearly.
She hung up the phone and asked.
Yang Fei pretended not to hear, speaking loudly, "What's the story with this Miss Qiqi, why is she so arrogant?"
Su Yinxue sighed and said lightly, "Yang Qiqi, an internet celebrity, once posted a set of gym photos online."
"Because of her spicy figure and innocent face, countless netizens idolized her as the otaku goddess."
"This year, she has been in two major variety shows, and her popularity has increased."
"Later, she took on the role of the second female lead in a web drama, gradually coming into the public eye."
Yang Fei noticed that when Su Yinxue talked about Yang Qiqi, her tone was extremely indifferent.
She showed no displeasure at Yang Qiqi's arrogance, nor did she scoff at her.
Yang Fei thought to himself, "This woman boss is not simple, eh?"
"Such magnanimity cannot be cultivated in a small household, who really is she?"
However, Yang Fei did not possess Su Yinxue's openness and grace.
Upon hearing Yang Qiqi's name, he cursed, "I really didn't expect that the ostensibly innocent and kind Yang Qiqi could be like this in private!"
"Damn, appearances are really deceiving."
Su Yinxue said lightly, "Entering the bizarre and chaotic entertainment industry, many originally innocent and kind girls easily lose their true nature."
"Now, Yang Qiqi is our partner, we should not talk about her behind her back."
As the two chatted, they finally arrived at the set twenty minutes later — Tianhong Advertising & Photography Studio.
In the makeup room, Yang Qiqi was sitting in front of the mirror with a displeased expression.
The stylist was doing her hair and makeup.
Yang Qiqi frequently checked her watch, very impatient.
Behind her, two white-collar beauties from Yalan International PR Department were bowing their heads.
The two stood behind Yang Qiqi, both extremely respectful, daring not to even breathe out loud.
Truth be told, Yang Qiqi was indeed a beauty, with delicate features and porcelain-like skin.
But her heavy eyeshadow and overly garish lipstick turned her innocent face into something utterly vulgar.
"What is your boss actually doing? Is she coming or not, ugh, my time is very precious."
"Your company is trash, the employees are trash, even the boss is trash."
"Such a trash company like yours, why bother doing endorsements and promotions, you better close up shop sooner."
Running out of patience, Yang Qiqi turned around and scolded the two Yalan ladies.
The string of venomous words she unleashed made everyone around turn their heads.
This morning, Yang Qiqi found out she was to cooperate with the widespread superstar Xu Zhiching on a new movie and felt her worth had skyrocketed.
She then felt that endorsing this small company for only two million was a huge loss.
So, Yang Qiqi was harboring some resentment.
She found the two Yalan International employees disagreeable no matter how she looked at them, frequently scolding and lecturing them.
This was already the third time Yang Qiqi had harshly spoken to the two Yalan International white-collar women.
Not only insulting the staff and Yalan International, she even cursed Su Yinxue as utterly worthless.
One of the women could no longer bear it and raised her head to look directly at Yang Qiqi's face.
She said calmly, "Miss Qiqi, President Su is not late."
"It's now 8:20, and there are still ten minutes to go until your appointed time of 8:30."
"Aren't you being a bit too much?"
"Am I being too much? Heh, the worst is yet to come."
After hearing the white-collar woman's words, Yang Qiqi abruptly stood up.
She sneered as she walked over, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped the white-collar woman across the face.
Slap!
