The entire reception room fell into a profound silence, with everyone awaiting Qin Chuan's final decision. He was the investor, the advertiser, the one footing the bill, and thus held the ultimate power.
"Everyone, it's like this..."
After a few seconds of contemplation, Qin Chuan slowly began to speak, his deep voice reaching everyone's ears.
"I just saw that both Miss Weiwei and Miss Xinru have an endorsement fee of two hundred thousand for one advertisement, and the term is also one year."
Agent Shen Anna immediately nodded, "That's correct. Weiwei and Xinru hold the same status in our production team, so their advertising endorsement fees are the same."
"Mmm..."
Qin Chuan's jet-black eyes fell upon Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru. Both actresses offered gentle smiles, captivating and alluring. As for Fan Bingbing, who was seated beside them, she was unusually calm this time, simply sitting quietly. She knew that the matter of endorsement fees had nothing to do with her. Her presence here was likely solely because she bore a resemblance to Boss Qin's "distant cousin." This young Boss Qin had replaced her with the memory of his deceased "poor cousin."
"Miss Shen, how about this: I'd like Miss Weiwei and Miss Xinru to endorse my product together!" Qin Chuan suddenly declared.
"What?!"
Everyone was astonished. Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru, sitting opposite him, widened their eyes in surprise. Was this Boss Qin so extravagant? An issue that could be resolved by one person was now to be settled by twice the price. Two hundred thousand was no small sum, especially in an era where Hong Kong entertainment dominated and mainland artists were suppressed, making it incredibly difficult for them to earn money. It was far from as easy as people imagined, and this was a primary reason for the low endorsement fees.
Facing the surprised gazes, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, "You all heard correctly. I want Miss Weiwei and Miss Xinru to endorse my product together."
"I assume this request shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Almost as soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Shen Anna stood up, her face beaming with unconcealed excitement. "Thank you, Boss Qin, for your generosity and magnanimity!"
"Weiwei, Xinru, why aren't you thanking Boss Qin quickly?"
Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru, seated opposite, finally reacted and immediately stood up together, expressing their gratitude to Qin Chuan.
Beside them, Fan Bingbing watched this scene with a deep sense of envy. Endorsing a product, especially one that would be aired on a top platform like CCTV, was the highest form of recognition for any artist. It proved their value and their worth to society.
"Haha, with two beautiful 'golden flowers' like Miss Weiwei and Miss Xinru endorsing the product together, I believe Boss Qin's product will surely sell like hotcakes!" Zhong Dongyao clapped his hands, offering Qin Chuan early congratulations.
"I'm truly impressed!" Ye Huai'an stared at Qin Chuan with admiration, "How does your mind work? Others invite one celebrity for endorsement, but you specifically choose two, taking a different path!"
"And every decision you make is eye-catching..."
Facing Ye Huai'an's flattery, Qin Chuan blinked, a hint of playfulness in his expression. "Who said I'm only choosing two?"
The previously relaxed and jovial atmosphere instantly tensed. Everyone wore expressions of bewilderment. What did Qin Chuan mean by that?
"Xiao Chuan, what are you doing?" Ye Meiyun couldn't help but subtly tug at Qin Chuan's sleeve. All the decisions made today had far exceeded her expectations. The original plan was simply to have one celebrity endorse the product. Qin Chuan had directly chosen two. The thought of Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru jointly endorsing a product might indeed create a unique effect, and since it only cost an additional two hundred thousand, Ye Meiyun hadn't said anything. But now Qin Chuan was creating more complications, and Ye Meiyun was becoming uneasy.
There were only three female artists in the entire reception room. Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru were already settled. The remaining one was self-evident. For some reason, the thought that Qin Chuan would even include the actress named Fan Bingbing in such an important decision as an endorsement made Ye Meiyun inexplicably uncomfortable.
Initially, she hadn't paid much attention to the actress Fan Bingbing. Her appearance was rather ordinary; Qin Chuan would never be interested in such a girl, and she had even helped to improve her image. However, after they were seated, Fan Bingbing happened to be sitting opposite Ye Meiyun. Out of boredom, Ye Meiyun quietly observed the girl. To her surprise, the more she looked, the more astonished Ye Meiyun became, realizing that the girl opposite had excellent natural qualities. Her skin was crystal clear, better than anyone else present, the kind that women would envy. Her brows possessed a unique girlish spirit, combined with a womanly charm, a contradictory combination. She was only seventeen now and not yet an adult. In a few years, she would likely grow into someone incredibly beautiful, completely overshadowing everyone present.
Discovering Fan Bingbing's outstanding qualities hidden beneath her plain appearance, Ye Meiyun began to suspect Qin Chuan's motives. She wasn't a naive girl new to the world. After enduring life's greatest hardships and experiencing the darkness of the workplace, Ye Meiyun had become more mature and cautious. She had strong reasons to suspect that Qin Chuan had already recognized Fan Bingbing's unique potential and intended to make arrangements in advance. As for what he sought, what else could a man want from a beautiful woman besides physical intimacy? The thought that Qin Chuan was highly likely aiming to have this girl named Fan Bingbing made Ye Meiyun feel uneasy. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she was simply unhappy!
"Sister, I'll give you a reasonable explanation later." At this moment, Qin Chuan turned and whispered to Ye Meiyun, then quickly turned back, completely ignoring the cloud of unease on Ye Meiyun's face.
"I want to include Miss Bingbing in our product endorsement this time!" Qin Chuan announced loudly to everyone.
Opposite him, Fan Bingbing, upon hearing this astonishing news, was first startled into a look of panic and apprehension. "Qin... Boss Qin, this... this absolutely won't do!"
"I absolutely don't have the qualifications for this!"
Everyone else was also full of surprise, as they all sensed that Qin Chuan seemed to have a particular regard for this third-rate actress named Fan Bingbing. Even for a major decision like an endorsement, he wanted to include Fan Bingbing. If Fan Bingbing were on the same level as Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru, it would be understandable. But the problem was, Fan Bingbing was not. She had only played the role of a maid in the drama "My Fair Princess," how could she possibly be qualified to endorse a product? At this moment, even Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru looked at Fan Bingbing and Qin Chuan with peculiar expressions...
