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..."
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
