Chapter 454 Shi Menglu's Identity
Chen Xuan was silent.
Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't speak, Shi Menglu thought Chen Xuan was scared stiff. She sneered, "What? Scared? Let me tell you, you'd better obediently give me the endorsement contract, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Xuan took a breath and blurted out a word: "Scram!"
Shi Menglu's beautiful eyes widened, doubting if she had heard correctly.
She never expected Chen Xuan to have no reaction after she mentioned the Su family's name?
Is the Su family so pathetic in the provincial capital now?
No, it must be that this guy has never even touched that level!
"Miss Shi, this way please."
Huo Yuhao extended his arm.
"Okay, okay, you wait for me. This matter isn't over! I'll let you know my influence!"
Shi Menglu cast a glare at Chen Xuan, stomped her feet in anger, twisted her waist, and strode out of the office with her long, beautiful legs.
As soon as she went downstairs and got into her car, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was her agent, Sister Mei.
Shi Menglu immediately answered, "Hello, Sister Mei."
"Lulu, how did the endorsement contract with Huo's Cosmetics go?"
A woman's voice came from the phone.
"Don't mention it, Sister Mei. This small cosmetics factory doesn't have much strength, yet they put on airs. They made me wait here for half the day for the boss. When the boss came, he said he didn't need me and even insulted me. I'm so angry."
Shi Menglu said indignantly, almost grinding her teeth to dust.
But she didn't mention that Shi Menglu had hit someone with her car, and Chen Xuan, who had stepped forward righteously, was framed.
"Ah?"
Sister Mei was surprised that Shi Menglu had messed things up. "My little ancestor, how could you mess this up? This contract is highly sought after. Don't you know Huo's Cosmetics won a major international award?"
"Sister Mei, don't think too highly of them. That factory's strength isn't good."
Shi Menglu said haughtily, "A small cosmetics factory dares to be so arrogant. They just released a hit product and really think they are an international brand. It's fine if it's gone. I've long been tired of signing endorsement contracts."
"At worst, I'll find other channels to go to the international stage."
Sister Mei hurriedly said, "Lulu, I heard that Huo's cosmetics have received good reviews in other international evaluations and might also win awards. Once they win another award, it might be difficult for you to even get a chance to compete."
"What? Winning awards again?"
Shi Menglu was a little surprised, not expecting that small cosmetics factory to be so strong. She gritted her teeth, "Sister Mei, tell the director of the crew to film other scenes first. I'll go film in a few days."
"Lulu, what are you going to do?" Sister Mei frowned.
"I'm going to get that contract myself, and I'll make that guy kneel down and call me 'Grand Aunt'."
After Shi Menglu finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
"Kid, I'll let you know that I'm someone you can't afford to offend!"
Shi Menglu stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and the Ferrari sports car instantly sped away.
...
"Mr. Chen, it's just an endorsement anyway. Can't we just let her finish filming the advertisement?"
In the office, Huo Yuhao hesitantly voiced the question in his heart. "If we can't find a suitable spokesperson immediately, it will be a huge loss for our product."
Chen Xuan shook his head. "I'd rather find an ordinary person than a time bomb that could detonate at any moment."
"Mr. Chen, what exactly happened between you and the superstar Shi Menglu?"
Huo Yuhao was also curious why Chen Xuan was so disgusted with Shi Menglu.
Chen Xuan took a breath and calmly told Huo Yuhao what had happened earlier.
Hit someone? Framed him? Even called people to settle the matter and have Chen Xuan arrested by the police?
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately understood why Chen Xuan was so angry. Anyone would be angry in his place.
He immediately said, "Mr. Chen, I think you did the right thing. It's better not to use a low-quality artist like Shi Menglu. Once something explodes, it could bring us devastating disaster."
"It's good that you understand this."
Chen Xuan had the same idea. "However, your task will be a bit heavier next. You need to confirm a new spokesperson as soon as possible."
For celebrity endorsements, character comes first, and fame comes second.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. In fact, many celebrities have come to discuss endorsements before, but we didn't want to settle. However, it shouldn't be difficult to find a spokesperson, it's just that their image and temperament might be slightly inferior to Shi Menglu."
Huo Yuhao smiled.
If Huo's Cosmetics were obscure, it might indeed be difficult to find an endorser. But now it's different. It's just that finding someone better than Shi Menglu might be a bit difficult.
"Try to find a suitable one."
"Okay!"
Huo Yuhao said, "Mr. Chen, if I find a suitable candidate, I will report to you."
After that, Chen Xuan left Huo's Cosmetics and drove towards the Su family.
On the way, Chen Xuan fell into thought.
How did this Shi Menglu know the Su family?
Judging by Shi Menglu's words, the Su family was Shi Menglu's backstage supporter.
Soon, Chen Xuan drove back to the Su family.
As soon as he entered, Chen Xuan smelled a fragrant aroma.
Su Yunxi was watching TV, and unusually, Jiang Biyun was personally cooking today, busy with something.
The air was filled with fragrance, making one's appetite whet.
"Yunxi!" Chen Xuan smiled.
Su Yunxi turned and saw Chen Xuan, smiling brightly, "Chen Xuan, you've returned at the perfect time. You're in for a treat today. My mom made the secret braised pork today, you can't eat it anywhere else."
"Oh? Really?"
Chen Xuan looked towards the kitchen, watching the busy Jiang Biyun.
He was a little surprised that a socialite like Jiang Biyun would personally cook.
"You're lucky."
Jiang Biyun took off her apron and walked out, looking up at Chen Xuan.
Su Yunxi stood up and teased, "Mom, you only agreed to make the secret braised pork after you heard Chen Xuan would be back today."
Jiang Biyun snorted, "Hmph, I just felt my cooking skills were a bit rusty, and on a whim, I wanted to practice."
Soon, it was time to eat. The Jiang family's secret braised pork made by Jiang Biru was oily but not greasy, sweet and delicious. Chen Xuan ate three bowls of rice in one go.
After the meal, Chen Xuan rubbed his round belly, looking satisfied.
He looked up at Su Yunxi, who was reading a financial magazine, "Yunxi, I need to ask you about someone."
"Oh? Who?"
Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan and continued reading the magazine.
Chen Xuan uttered a name: "Shi Menglu."
Su Yunxi looked up, her expression strange as she looked at Chen Xuan. "How do you know her?"
"Who is she?" Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi's expression, holding back.
"Do you remember Su Ning from the Su family?"
Su Yunxi became somewhat serious, putting the magazine aside.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "How could I forget that guy who wanted to kill me?"
When they were in Jiangzhou, that guy sent people to try to kidnap Su Yunxi and destroy the Xuanji Hall.
During the trip to the forbidden area, that guy sent people to kill him.
Chen Xuan remembered his enemies more clearly than anyone else.
Su Yunxi said lightly, "Shi Menglu is Su Ning's fiancée by contract before birth. According to the previous agreement, they should get married in another year or two."
