If they could really sign some kind of endorsement contract with that model, Zhenhua's fame would no longer be limited to just the magic city!
If he could actually accomplish this, how pleased would the board of directors be?
Maybe the chairman would reward him with more shares!
Thinking of this, the corners of Huang Yuan's mouth turned up, just like Lin Yu's in the novel.
At this moment, his mind was filled with visions of buying mansions and luxury cars after acquiring another batch of shares. He had completely immersed himself in a world of fantasy.
......
Meanwhile, the online buzz about finding Liu Mingrui continued to grow.
Many people flocked to Caiying's official Weibo account, frantically asking about Liu Mingrui's identity. However, Su Qianmo had already ordered the PR department not to answer any questions for two days, so people couldn't get any clues from Caiying's official account.
Even though they searched the entire internet, they couldn't find any information about Liu Mingrui. But before this hot topic died down, more and more people would join the search for Liu Mingrui online.
At the same time.
In a corporation in the magic city, Gu Chenan's high school class monitor Zhao Lu was idly scrolling through his phone.
Suddenly, a trending topic about "Caiying" popped up.
He instinctively clicked on it.
What he saw left him completely stunned.
On Weibo's trending topics, there were four or five entries related to Caiying, all dominating the rankings!
"What... what the hell?"
Zhao Lu was so shocked he could barely speak.
Caiying was a company everyone thought would go bankrupt, but now it was dominating the trending topics?!
What kind of sorcery was this?!
How on earth did old Gu manage to take a company on the brink of collapse and make it top the trending topics in just a few days?
Puzzled, Zhao Lu randomly clicked on one of the topics, and Caiying's advertisement immediately started playing.
Liu Mingrui's alluring poses and stunning beauty instantly filled his phone screen. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, just like when he had seen Su Qianmo that night. His soul was struck by Liu Mingrui's beauty.
"This... this is too beautiful, absolutely top-tier!"
"She's on par with old Gu's girlfriend! Where did old Gu find such a beauty?"
Zhao Lu quickly opened the classmates' group chat, intending to tell everyone about this, but he found that his classmates were already discussing it.
A quick glance showed that every message was filled with surprise at Liu Mingrui's looks and shock at Caiying dominating the trending topics.
Many of them had previously worried about Caiying's future development under Gu Chenan, who had never set foot in the business world before. They thought Caiying would surely not survive in the hands of someone so inexperienced.
But unexpectedly, in just a few short days, Caiying had become known nationwide!
Moreover, the leading lady Gu Chenan found for the advertisement was so stunningly beautiful. Although she wore a pure and simple short dress, her impressive figure and gorgeous face were absolutely irresistible.
"Caiying is dominating the trending topics!"
"Is that for real?"
"Damn, it's true! Several consecutive trending topics are all about Caiying!"
"Whoa, old Gu is too amazing!"
"@Gu Chenan, where did you find this beauty, old Gu? She's way too gorgeous!"
"Wow, old Gu, you're a genius! We thought you had no business experience, but you pulled off something like this?"
"Now the whole internet is searching for the leading lady in Caiying's ad. Old Gu, you've given Caiying some major publicity!"
"See? I knew old Gu could do it!"
Looking at the chat history, Zhao Lu swallowed hard, secretly glad that he had defended Gu Chenan back then. Now, anyone could see what Caiying would become in the future.
If he ever needed to ask Gu Chenan for help in the future, it wouldn't be awkward to approach him.
......
"Hello, I'm here to see your CEO Sun."
At the reception desk on the first floor of Zhenhua Beauty, Gu Chenan was completely unaware of the commotion in the group chat. In fact, he had muted the group messages since he returned that day.
"Do you have an appoin..."
Before the receptionist could finish saying "appointment," his eyes widened in shock, and his gaze on Liu Mingrui revealed his amazement.
He recognized Liu Mingrui as the leading lady from Caiying's advertisement and was stunned by how incredibly beautiful she was in person.
"Excuse me."
Gu Chenan waved his hand in front of the receptionist, finally snapping him out of his shock. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Hello, CEO Sun left instructions. I'll take you both up right away."
"Thank you."
Gu Chenan nodded, and the two of them followed the receptionist upstairs.
Soon, under the receptionist's guidance, Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui arrived at a conference room door.
It's worth noting that on the journey from the first-floor reception to the conference room, countless Zhenhua employees, either openly or secretly, turned to look at Liu Mingrui.
Liu Mingrui was not only stunning in appearance and figure, but she was also the mysterious woman everyone on the internet was trying to find. Everyone wanted to get a closer look.
Knock knock knock.
"CEO Sun, that gentleman has arrived."
The receptionist knocked on the conference room door.
Immediately, there was a rush of hurried footsteps from inside the conference room. Sun Wei, who had been waiting eagerly, personally opened the door and excitedly gestured for Gu Chenan to enter, saying, "Please come in, please."
Then his gaze inevitably fell on Liu Mingrui behind Gu Chenan, and his eyebrows suddenly raised.
This... this is too beautiful!
She looked amazing on TV, but she's just as stunning in person!
He had thought that beauties like CEO Su were rare in this world, but he didn't expect this model to be so incredibly beautiful as well.
"Miss, please come in, please."
Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui entered the conference room and took their seats. Sun Wei beckoned to a few employees in the room. One went to serve tea, while another left the conference room to inform Huang Yuan.
Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Wei spoke up, "I didn't get a chance to ask on the phone earlier, may I know your surname, sir?"
Gu Chenan took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's Gu."
"Oh." Sun Wei immediately extended his hand in greeting, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Gu."
Then he turned to Liu Mingrui, "And you, miss, what's your surname?"
"Liu, my surname is Liu," Liu Mingrui replied.
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Liu."
Sun Wei extended his hand again, but Liu Mingrui showed no intention of shaking it. Sun Wei could only smile awkwardly and say, "Miss Liu, you probably don't know how much buzz the advertisement you shot for Caiying has created online."
"The entire internet is discussing your identity, and Caiying's name has become a hot topic due to people's curiosity about you."
"So Zhenhua got jealous and decided to have Miss Liu endorse your products to outdo Caiying?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Haha," Sun Wei laughed and said, "Of course! A small company like Caiying can't compare to our Zhenhua at all. Whatever fee Miss Liu received for Caiying's advertisement, we can offer several times that amount, or even more."
"We didn't charge Caiying a single penny for the advertisement," Gu Chenan smiled.
"Not a single penny?" Sun Wei was stunned. He blinked and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you mean you didn't charge Caiying anything?"
"That's right," Gu Chenan spread his hands.
"But... but why?" Sun Wei couldn't understand at all.
Gu Chenan grinned, "Well, about that..."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
