Chapter 644: Equivalence (Part One)
Lin Chuxue looked at Zhao Na and then smiled at President Yu. “Forget it, I’ll go look elsewhere.”
The CEO didn’t sound pleased as he said, “If I didn’t know about it then it would’ve been fine, but now I do and you’re already here. Would you please pick a few pieces to take with you? If the others knew about this, what would they think about me if I treat the savior of my life like this? How’s this, Miss Lin, I know that you are not lacking in anything else, and I only have just these clothes to show my appreciation, so you can pick whatever you like.”
Zhao Na’s agent took a few of the clothes that Lin Chuxue had just tried on and hurried over, trying to save the day as she said, “Miss Lin, these two were the ones you liked.”
Lin Chuxue lowered her eyes to look at the bag and said calmly, “No need, I don’t want these two pieces since they’re the ones Zhao Na likes.”
The agent elbowed Zhao Na who blushed red and looked angry.
“Apologize!” she quickly whispered to Zhao Na. “You absolutely cannot lose this endors.e.m.e.nt! If you lose this endors.e.m.e.nt, in addition to the contract fees, you’ll also lose the opportunity to be the main actress in the urban fas.h.i.+on drama sponsored by this company. You really can’t lose this opportunity for the time being, otherwise it will affect your plans for an entire year.”
Zhao Na gritted her teeth and waited until Lin Chuxue was ready to turn away. She knew that if she didn’t do something, then President Yu would also be displeased and the situation would become awkward. If she didn’t cooperate, he would be angry with her and by then, it wouldn’t be as simple as just losing her endors.e.m.e.nt.
After thinking for a long time, with the agent anxiously tugging her elbow, Zhao Na spoke up. “I’m sorry. These two dresses were originally chosen by you; they don’t fit me, here you go.”
She handed Lin Chuxue the bag with both hands. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice since she lost.
Lin Chuxue was right, popularity was of no use! It was all about personal connections and influence! Wealthy people built the bridges in the entertainment industry, and they could also destroy those bridges and crush someone into pieces.
Zhao Na felt the distance between herself and Lin Chuxue in this encounter.
Therefore, she compromised!
Lin Chuxue saw that Zhao Na had apologized, and it wasn’t good to let this go on any further. Having seen that she had come over to give her the bag in person, and in front of so many people in the entertainment circle; if this woman had stopped in moderation, then she would do so as well.
“President Yu, then I thank you for your kindness.” Lin Chuxue looked at President Yu and smiled.
“That’s not a problem. I was afraid that you wouldn’t accept my small appreciation.” President Yu turned to that female manager and said, “Xiao Zhang, get a lifetime members.h.i.+p subscription card for Miss Lin. From now on, she can come to every quarterly product fas.h.i.+on show for free and enjoy the privilege of ordering three sets of clothes per quarter.”
That manager who was responsible for Lin Chuxue before smiled. “Yes, Mr. Yu.”
Whether it was the staff members on the scene or those famous models or other female artists, they were all in awe.
This independent brand was one of the top brands in the country for custom-made clothes. They had sponsored many award ceremonies, and they had a huge influence as well. Generally, these members.h.i.+p privileges belonged to the shareholders, which only a few people could get; therefore, giving a former female artist such privileges was very surprising.
Those female models and second-tier female artists couldn’t even come here to pick out clothes unless it was for some special occasion, so how could they not be envious of Lin Chuxue.
Lin Chuxue really liked the style of clothing designed by this independent brand, and now that she was able to have priority every quarter, she smiled. “I’ll take this gift; your company’s designs fit my aesthetic. As for the rest, you don’t need to give me anything else.”
President Yu smiled. “Alright, Miss Lin, you go and try on the clothes here.”
Lin Chuxue nodded as she took the bag and headed over to try on the clothes.
President Yu waved his hand. “You all go back to work.”
He then took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit, pulled one out, and handed it to Xu Cheng.
Chapter 644: Equivalence (Part Two)
After Xu Cheng put it in his mouth, President Yu personally lit it up for him. Then, he took out his exclusive business card from his bag and pa.s.sed it to Xu Cheng with respect. “Mr. Xu, next time you will remember me, right?”
Having seen what he had done just now, Xu Cheng smiled and took his business card. He then took out his phone and called the number on the business card in front of President Yu.
As soon as Yu’s phone rang, he grinned.
Xu Cheng said to him, “This is my number, you can take it down and give me a call if you need anything in the future. However, I’m usually abroad.”
“I know, I know.” President Yu smiled with him, showing that he understood. No kidding, how could someone who called Haber a brother be someone who wasn’t busy? He heard it all that night that Mr. Xu was a good friend of Haber’s, and everyone had witnessed the scene where Haber backed Xu Cheng.
Who was Haber?
He was someone listed in the top 20 world’s billionaires, which was a big shot even in that circle. Birds of a flock flew together, so Xu Cheng wouldn’t be as simple as he looked. Because after all, that night, he was able to make a phone call to gather 10 billion dollars at once on the scene, adding on to Xu Cheng’s mysterious background.
Moreover, after that night, Xu Cheng seemingly won 10 billion equity from that K Nation guy, especially that Three Star equity which had been particularly difficult to get. He only came back to find out that Three Star announced the acquisition of equity, using 12 billion!
In terms of the amount of fortune, if Xu Cheng wanted to be publicly exposed, he would definitely be able to enter the top 30 of the world’s multibillionaires. He was not someone President Yu could be compared to, as he was only just at the billionaire mark. This was the biggest reason why he was willing to break the endors.e.m.e.nt contract if it could satisfy Lin Chuxue.
The domestic market was relatively saturated. In fact, due to the instability of clothing brands, President Yu would prefer to expand his business if he had the opportunity to know some of the foreign big shots which would improve his chances. Not to mention that Xu Cheng knew Haber, the Middle Eastern billionaire, and after that cruise s.h.i.+p incident, those rescued millionaires and billionaires had a lot of grat.i.tude towards Lin Chuxue. For a faithful country, they admired Li Chuxue with her strange abilities; and all these were resources.
But President Yu thought that Xu Cheng’s greatest potential was that he’s still under thirty! Yet, he was already so knowledgeable and had a huge amount of a.s.sets as well as a good personal network; President Yu always felt that Xu Cheng’s background would be very complicated.
Not to mention that a man who was accompanied by the nation-cla.s.s beauty Lin Chuxue was definitely not an ordinary man!
And that was all that mattered!
“Mr. Xu, tea or coffee?” President Yu brought Xu Cheng to the sofa and sat down next to him.
Xu Cheng sat down and crossed his legs as he said, “Coffee is good. My appet.i.te for good tea has been spoiled. I don’t want to force anyone to do anything, so I’d rather have coffee.”
“Xiao Lin, go to my office and bring some Blue Mountain coffee over,” Yu summoned the one in charge of Zhao Na’s project.
