- Chapter 6 - Endorsement 2 – Let’s Start by Having One on Each Arm!
“Pfft—”
Song Mingjiao heard a sentence so world-shattering that he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and let out a laugh.
Please maintain a proper attitude, Host. What is so funny?
Song Mingjiao nearly doubled over with laughter. It took him a good while to straighten up, waving his hand dismissively as he said, “It’s nothing, System. I just thought of some happy things.”
Song Mingjiao was simply thinking about how amusing it was that the System was being played by him while simultaneously being forced to award him points. It was just too entertaining.
Well, I only hope that when the System discovers my true intentions for this endorsement, it won’t fly into a rage and take the points back.
Hm, it probably won’t. After all, I’m just a tiny tool-man; what kind of waves could I possibly make?
After that, Song Mingjiao ignored the System and gleefully checked the points he had accumulated during this period.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands
It was a four-digit number now!
Song Mingjiao held his breath, carefully counting each digit one by one. In just a few days, he had earned over a thousand points. Once he reached ten thousand, he could unlock the System Store, and then he would go on a massive shopping spree!
He really was amazing!
The “hoarding” instinct deep in Song Mingjiao’s bones flared up. Clutching his points in the void and his physical black and gold cards, he fell into a deep, satisfied sleep, a persistent smile hanging on the corners of his lips.
It was another bright and sunny morning.
A soft glow filtered through the lush green leaves in the courtyard of the private club, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere on the top floor of the club was somewhat subtle.
This private club was a place specifically designed to receive titans from various industries. Privacy was paramount, the staff were highly trained, and even the hired chefs were former Michelin stars.
And right now, the entire top floor had been booked out by Song Mingjiao.
He was sitting behind a folding screen, enjoying a private meal served by the chef: Black Pearl oysters, scallop mousse, pan-seared turbot, and the dessert which he was eating the most of.
The two men standing behind Song Mingjiao, however, could be described as utterly unable to stand the sight of each other, their every movement dripping with silent drama.
“Young Master Song, be careful with the knife and fork.”
The bodyguard, Li Yuanhua, stood to Song Mingjiao’s right, patiently and meticulously plating food for him. He didn’t forget to add, seemingly casually:
“The candlelight is being blocked, affecting the view. It’s better to leave this to me.”
“Mm, then you help me.”
Song Mingjiao wasn’t the type who insisted on doing everything himself. Since someone was there to serve him, he was happy to be idle, opening his mouth to eat whatever was offered.
Standing to Song Mingjiao’s left was the secretary, Zhang Xuanzhan. It just so happened that there was a lamp stand behind him. Though the room was well-lit and it didn’t actually cause any issue, he wasn’t about to let the comment slide.
Zhang Xuanzhan pushed up his glasses and responded with a skin-deep smile:
“Young Master Song, when I was studying abroad, I was surrounded by talents who majored in lifestyle assistance. Each of them possessed extreme professional quality and could plate food accurately even in pitch-black darkness. Would you like me to introduce them to you?”
“Send me their resumes later. Oh, and their life photos too.”
Song Mingjiao showed no favoritism, responding to each man in turn.
As Song Mingjiao squinted his eyes in enjoyment of the gourmet food, Li Yuanhua shot a sharp look at the man beside him: Young Master Song’s daily life is under my care. Where did this third wheel come from!
Zhang Xuanzhan didn’t back down an inch. He straightened his tie and stared back: President Song brought me here today to talk business. You are the redundant one!
Song Mingjiao, however, remained completely oblivious to the surging undercurrents behind him. After finishing the Michelin chef’s private service, he picked up a square napkin to dab the corners of his mouth and asked:
“Have the candidate artists for the endorsement arrived?”
Zhang Xuanzhan immediately abandoned his fight with the bodyguard, pulling out records to report to Song Mingjiao: “They have all arrived and are waiting downstairs. Would you like to review their basic information?”
Song Mingjiao stood up and rubbed his soft stomach, which was slightly bloated from the meal, making it look even more supple.
He stretched lazily and said, “No need. I like opening ‘blind boxes’.”
That was right. Song Mingjiao’s purpose today was to select a satisfactory spokesperson for his own company.
However, what would likely disappoint the System and the original male lead was that while he said he would give the news to the male lead, he never guaranteed he would “airdrop” the title to a man who had neither fame nor acting skills.
Song Mingjiao was in an excellent mood, his tone becoming quite cheerful. He was very much looking forward to Mo Qinan’s upcoming performance.
He was a very fair President. If Mo Qinan couldn’t seize the opportunity himself, how could he be blamed?
“Don’t remove the screen. Secretary Zhang, you go outside and manage the scene. Li Yuanhua, you stay here and accompany me.”
Zhang Xuanzhan paused for a moment, then seemingly calmly agreed, making a regretful exit from this bloodless battlefield.
In a place unknown to Song Mingjiao, the news that the Chenxing Group was releasing an endorsement for its “Skyline Chronos” brand had been quietly circulating among those with connections in the entertainment industry. The fact that an old-money, mysterious conglomerate was actually starting to interface with the entertainment circle left many people shocked and speculating about Chenxing’s intentions.
Furthermore, this endorsement collaboration was different from the usual signing process. Anyone who had the channels to know this news could submit their “letter of intent” to Chenxing Group.
The Chief Secretary would only do a simple preliminary screening. It was heard that the final candidate would be personally decided by the group’s most mysterious President and Chairman!
This was the first time the behemoth known as Chenxing Group had thrown an olive branch to the entertainment industry. Everyone inevitably imagined that if they were lucky enough to become the first spokesperson, their value would skyrocket!
The only catch was that the Chief Secretary’s screening criteria seemed to be based purely on looks. Those who weren’t handsome enough couldn’t even make it to the subsequent stages.
Therefore, some insiders jokingly referred to Chenxing Group’s endorsement collaboration as “The Pageant.”
But in reality, in Song Mingjiao’s heart.
He really did have that kind of idea, hehe.
Now that he was a “sugar daddy,” one Mo Qinan wasn’t enough. If he didn’t create some competitive pressure for that guy, he would truly be resting on his laurels.
This endorsement, rather than being a way to deal with the System’s task, was more like Song Mingjiao seeking some benefits for himself. He wanted to be the happiest President!
Yes, starting with one on each arm!
In the main hall of the club, the artists had been waiting for a long time. There were veteran Best Actors as well as rising young starlets. Of course, Mo Qinan was among them.
Everyone was very quiet. After all, everyone here was a competitor. The private club did not allow filming or bodyguards; each artist could only bring one manager.
It wasn’t until Secretary Zhang came out to explain the process that whispers gradually broke out in the hall.
“Secretary Zhang, here is a small token for some wine. Could you please reveal a bit about the specific format of the selection?”
This young starlet had become an overnight hit during this year’s summer season. Of course, her popularity was thanks to the backing behind her, which also pointed her toward this endorsement news.
She quietly walked up to Zhang Xuanzhan, hoping to fish for some information.
But Zhang Xuanzhan simply put on a professional smile, stepped aside to avoid her hand, and replied: “My apologies. We are not clear on the President’s thoughts.”
The starlet could only leave awkwardly. This was harder than her first audition!
Because everyone was familiar with the audition process, but Chenxing Group had never collaborated with a spokesperson before. There was no past experience to reference.
Zhang Xuanzhan noticed that as the artists entered one by one and came out with bitter faces, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. At this moment, only two people on the field remained relatively calm.
One was Mo Qinan. Zhang Xuanzhan gritted his teeth to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart. The thought that President Song might have organized this whole endorsement just for this idiot made his blood boil with rage.
Mo Qinan was very calm right now. He was convinced in his heart that this was just a formality. Especially after seeing so many people return in failure, his conviction grew stronger.
He thought to himself that, for the sake of the effort Song Mingjiao had put in for him, he could consider a simple announcement of their relationship among close friends something Song Mingjiao had always wanted.
The other person was someone Zhang Xuanzhan didn’t expect: He Wang, the youngest “Grand Slam” Best Actor today. He Wang was very picky; he basically only filmed arthouse movies, but every single one was critically acclaimed and a box-office success.
He didn’t do variety shows, didn’t do “popcorn” movies, and even his endorsements were meticulously selected, with brands often begging him three times over.
To think he would also take the initiative to come and compete with a group of juniors for an endorsement.
Just as Zhang Xuanzhan was about to look away, his peripheral vision caught an “uninvited guest,” and he nearly lost control of his expression.
The newcomer was wearing a baseball cap and a black mask. He stealthily pushed open the back door of the hall, just a crack, looked left and right, and squeezed inside just as Mo Qinan left the hall.
It was the fully disguised Song Mingjiao.
He saw Zhang Xuanzhan’s eyes widen as if he wanted to step forward. Song Mingjiao quickly made a “shh” gesture while no one was looking and winked his exposed eyes.
Zhang Xuanzhan was forced to look away with extreme awkwardness.
Song Mingjiao had stayed behind the screen for a while. He was originally interested in “opening blind boxes,” but the people who came in were either trembling with fear or strictly businesslike. Or they were so conceited that he saw visions of a “Mo Qinan No. 2.”
With his plan to find entertainment ruined, Song Mingjiao, under Li Yuanhua’s helpless gaze, changed his clothes and sneaked out to find some new fun.
No, this was called “observing the common people” and “traveling incognito.” Yes, exactly!
He could also avoid Mo Qinan in the process. Perfect!
Sure enough, within a few minutes of arriving in the hall where the artists were, Song Mingjiao found his entertainment as he wished.
“Coming to compete for an endorsement and you’re still wearing a mask and dressed so casually? Is it because that face of yours is too shameful to show?”
The speaker was a male celebrity who had just returned unsuccessfully. He was in a state of agitation and found a target to vent his frustration.
Song Mingjiao looked around blankly and then pointed at himself.
Ah? Me?
The male celebrity became even more furious, speaking without thinking: “Secretary Zhang, can someone who arrives late like this even be let in?”
Would you like me to translate the next chapter or perhaps summarize the character dynamics introduced so far?
