4 Commercial Advertisement

A few days later, the only thing Lin Xiaohui could hear was Tan Ruanjun's screams.

"Oh my god! Xiaohui!!" She seemed to be excited about something, though Lin Xiaohui didn't want to hear about it.

"What's the matter with you now? Did you get possessed?" Lin Xiaohui covered her ears with her hands before groaning in annoyance.

Tan Ruanjun squealed as she said, "I was scrolling through weibo and came across something interesting... that smurf player is actually a professional player! It's Wei Yun from VCF!!! Oh my god!"

"Huh?" Lin Xiaohui blinked.

Wei Yun was a popular War of Honor player who started his professional e-sports career five years ago, when he was barely fifteen. He lead his team, Victory Comes First, to championship just last year and he was now recognized as Asia's best player. Not only were his gaming skills top notch, girls from all over fawned over his heavenly looks.

"Junjun, are you still half asleep?" She finally asked.

"Look, I'll send you the post! A fan of his screenshot his livestream and... there! Our users, ah!" Tan Ruanjun was extremely excited as she sent the link of the weibo post to Lin Xiaohui.

Lin Xiaohui reluctantly opened the link before clicking her tongue and responding, "His fans are wanting to find us and burn us alive, yet you're still so happy?"

"That's not the point! We just played with Wei Yun!! Huhuhu... my e-sports idol!!!" Tan Ruanjun beamed.

Lin Xiaohui rolled her eyes and ended the call. Whenever Tan Ruanjun got too excited, she was bound to fall victim to an hour long chattering. Rather than making herself suffer, it was better to avoid it completely.

She also had a meeting to attend, so she couldn't be on call for long anyways. The meeting Zhan Chen had scheduled with her new manager was today, and she was expected to arrive at the company by 12 PM.

It was currently 11:27 AM and it takes half an hour to arrive at Zhan entertainment.

Lin Xiaohui hurriedly ate her breakfast and bid farewell to her family.

Since the short leave she applied from school would expire by tomorrow, she wouldn't be seeing them for a while again even though they all lived in the same city.

"HuiHui, home more often! We all worry about you." Mother Lin dramatically sobbed and Lin Xiaohui watched awkwardly.

"LiLi, you're scaring her!" Father Lin shouted, though he himself was more dramatic than his wife.

"Xiaohui, call us if you need anything." Lin Chi coughed and tried to ignore the sight of his parents arguing and patted Lin Xiaohui's head. His gaze was gentle.

Lin Xiaohui smiled and agreed before leaving for the company.

"Greetings, Miss Xiaohui. I'm Fu Yulan, your manager." Fu Yulan was a short, chubby lady in her forties. She was an experienced employee at Zhan entertainment and was also the manager of several well known actors and actresses, one which was Shen Wuying.

"Hello." Lin Xiaohui flashed a bright smile and returned the greeting. She looked around and raised her brows in confusion. Although Zhan Chen had said he would be here, he was nowhere in sight.

"CEO Zhan is away for a moment, but he'll be here shortly. Shall we discuss promotion works first?" Fu Yulan studied Lin Xiaohui and came to a conclusion that this young girl was a reasonable person. She had been in the entertainment business for so long now that she was able to tell between those who were snobby and those who were humble.

Lin Xiaohui was classified into the latter group.

"Promotion works? Do you want me to do commercials first so that people will seek me out for roles in movies?" Lin Xiaohui was quick to catch on and pondered.

"Yes, it's also beneficial so that people will recognize you sooner." Fu Yulan confirmed.

After a few minutes of chatting and discussing business matters, Zhan Chen finally appeared and besides him was a handsome youth who was frowning.

"Nice to see you again, Miss Lin." Zhan Chen nodded at her and she waved back.

"This is Lin Xiaohui?" The youth besides him curiously glanced up and sized her down with his sparkling eyes before he grinned.

"She's pretty!"

Lin Xiaohui finally recognized him as Shen Wuying and laughed at his compliment.

"Thank you." She said as she made room for him to take a seat besides her. She didn't notice Zhan Chen's strange look towards her until he suddenly spoke up.

"Wuying, don't cause any trouble." Zhan Chen's voice was icy cold and Fu Yulan felt a chill go down her spine.

Lin Xiaohui was unbothered by it and simply watched as Shen Wuying sneered, grabbing Lin Xiaohui's hands and saying, "Ignore him. How old are you, pretty sister?"

"I'm 20." Lin Xiaohui responded, trying to break free from his grip, but failing. This little kid was stronger than he looked.

"You're older than me by a year! Can I call you jiejie?" Shen Wuying excitedly exclaimed.

He reminded her of Tan Ruanjun in a sense. If Tan Ruanjun knew who she met today, Lin Xiaohui's ears would fall off from hearing Tan Ruanjun's screams.

"Sure! You'll be my little brother, then?" Lin Xiaohui agreed to his request.

"Yay~! You're nothing like sister Yanmei. Her face was too scary." Shen Wuying sighed, "When she looked at me, I thought she would suck the soul of my body!"

"Huh? You've met Zhong Yanmei?" Lin Xiaohui was suddenly interested in hearing more.

Zhan Chen finally couldn't hold it in and coughed, "Yulan, have you discussed the commercial matter with her?"

"We've agreed to take the advertisement role." Fu Yulan informed him.

Zhan Chen nodded and then turned to face Shen Wuying.

"It's time for us to leave. We'll catch up later, Miss Lin." He coldly commanded and Shen Wuying's face twisted. As Zhan Chen left, Shen Wuying turned to Lin Xiaohui.

"Bye-bye, jiejie. See you soon!" He said as he followed Zhan Chen.

Once the two men were out of sight, Lin 'The Gossip Queen' Xiaohui leaned towards Fu Yulan and whispered, "What's up with them?"

Fu Yulan laughed.

"CEO Zhan is Ying-Ying's adopted uncle." She explained carefully, making sure to lower her voice so that no one around could hear. "They have issues in private however, so it's best you keep this a secret for now."

"Alright. I'll pretend I never heard about this." Lin Xiaohui smiled.

"By the way, when is the commercial shooting?"
