"If it weren't for my fame, Chen Bi, do you really think someone like you, still wet behind the ears, could actually make money?"

Chen Bi didn't give Xia Xiaodie any face at all; at this moment, she ridiculed her without mercy.

For a girl who had yet to come into contact with society, this was indeed too cruel.

"Miss Chen Bi, you could take a look at..."

But Xia Xiaodie also had her own resilience, and she didn't give up just because of this setback.

Indeed, she understood that she was a newcomer to the industry.

If not, why would she stay up night after night working hard?

Lacking experience, she was willing to spend time and effort to make up for it!

The biggest selling point of this jewelry event was the personal design of Gelangqiao, which had not yet been discussed with Chen Bi. At this moment, Xia Xiaodie opened her mouth, wanting to show Chen Bi the sample pictures of the jewelry she had brought.

Confident in Gelangqiao's design, Xia Xiaodie was sure it would reveal her potential to Chen Bi.

But before she could finish her sentence, Xu Fan, who was standing by and watching, reached out to block her.

"Xu Fan..."

Xia Xiaodie anxiously glanced at Xu Fan, not quite understanding why he was stopping her at this moment.

Xu Fan smiled faintly and said, "Let me do the talking."

From the moment she walked in, Chen Bi had been utterly indifferent, and the previous conversation was extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Fan didn't want his own girl to beg Chen Bi in a lowly manner to endorse their jewelry business.

In this world, it's always people who choose goods, not goods that choose people.

If he was going to be in the jewelry business, then the right to choose an endorser should be in his hands.

Chen Bi certainly didn't have the clout to make him bow and scrape.

"Sure."

At this, Xia Xiaodie obediently nodded her head and said no more.

"What, young man, you want to stand up for this young lady?"

Seeing that Xu Fan, who had been quiet beside Xia Xiaodie, had spoken, Chen Bi squinted her eyes and leisurely crossed her legs.

"It's not a problem for me to endorse for you, but, you'll need to add another fifty million to the annual endorsement fee."

The endorsement fee Xia Xiaodie had previously discussed with Chen Bi was already more than fair for her current level of fame.

To offhandedly ask for an additional fifty million now was no different from extortion.

Anyone else might have flown off the handle at such an exorbitant demand, but who could tolerate such arrogance?

Xu Fan, however, remained calm.

With an indifferent smile, his gaze settled on Chen Bi.

"Chen Bi, money is not the issue. Never mind fifty million, I could even add a hundred million."

"What!"

At Xu Fan's words, Xia Xiaodie couldn't contain her impatience.

She was well aware that Xu Fan was sticking up for her, but a billion was perhaps a bit too extravagant?

They had to keep in mind that if they spent so much on an endorsement, the jewelry business's profits could not be guaranteed.

But she didn't rush to say anything; she had a feeling that Xu Fan wouldn't be so foolish.

"Oh? Young man, quite the big spender, aren't you? Opening with a billion just like that."

"Fine, if you add another billion, I, Chen Bi, will agree to endorse for you today."

An extra billion was no small amount, and even if she was arrogant, Chen Bi was tempted now; her tone toward Xu Fan had changed from its previous arrogance, becoming much more polite.

"Chen Bi, I have one question that I just can't understand."

Seeing Xu Fan frown and look towards her, Chen Bi smiled and asked, "Young man, go ahead, what's your question?"

"With your level of fame, is it worth me adding another hundred million? Huh?"

"You... what do you mean?"

Suddenly, Xu Fan's tone took a sharp turn and targeted himself; Chen Bi was somewhat caught off guard, and her complexion became somewhat unsightly.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and continued, "Chen Bi, you may not like to hear this, but what I'm about to say is, nonetheless, the truth."

"You, Chen Bi, have some fame in Shanghai, but if we look across the whole of Huaxia, with your level of fame, how much more money could you bring in for us?

"I think, perhaps not even close to a hundred million, right?"

"You!"

Being looked down upon by a much older man, Chen Bi felt her face redden with anger.

Indeed, her fame throughout the entirety of Huaxia was not high; the usual places she would go to make a quick buck were only in Shanghai.

"If I, Xu Fan, am going to enter the jewelry market, then at the very least, I must be the biggest in Huaxia."

"If you, Chen Bi, continue to rely solely on your identity as someone from Shanghai, only thinking about making money, you'll never climb up and probably won't be able to keep up with our pace."

"We chose you because we value your local fame in Shanghai, after all, our starting point is here in Shanghai."

"Previous assessments of the benefits you could bring us have already been written into the contract."

"As for the extra hundred million you now want, I can understand it as an investment in your potential. However, Chen Bi, why don't you take a good look in the mirror?"

"Say that again, I dare you!"

So aggressive! Every word was forcing her into a corner with nothing to say! Chen Bi was now furiously embarrassed, glaring viciously at Xu Fan!

This guy was simply too domineering, a world away from Xia Xiaodie!

From beginning to end, the message he conveyed was clear.

It's me choosing you, Chen Bi, not you choosing me.

If she wasn't concerned about her image, Chen Bi would have loved to rush over and bite this glib man to death!

Let Chen Bi say it, and Xu Fan really dared to say it.

He now looked calmly at Chen Bi, whose face was twisted with anger, and said, "Furthermore, Chen Bi, I believe you know that 'jewelry' signifies pure, natural beauty."

"If you're to be an endorser, then you also need to find someone who befits the phrase 'pure natural beauty.' With all the cosmetic surgery you've had over the years, do you really have the face to ask me for that hundred million?"

"I'll kill you!"

Her face had indeed undergone a lot of surgery, but Chen Bi believed it was flawless, and no one could tell.

Now exposed by Xu Fan's Perspective Eye, she felt insecure and clawed her way toward Xu Fan!

Bang!

Before she could get close to Xu Fan, Chen Bi felt a strange force coming from in front of her, and her whole body flew backward in a tumble!

Utterly embarrassed, her face landed straight on the floor.

As a result, the makeup she had painstakingly applied was now completely ruined.

Without a word, Xu Fan glanced at Chen Bi and walked forward to collect the contract and other documents.

He had already made his decision to give up on choosing Chen Bi.

Now, approaching Chen Bi, he looked down at her indifferently.

"I hope it didn't damage the nose you had done."

"You!"

Chen Bi was so angry she felt like her lungs could explode!

How did this guy know?

Seeing Chen Bi in a hurry to straighten her nose, Xu Fan snorted coldly and said, "Chen Bi, hitting you was to teach you a lesson."

"Do not underestimate the poor young man."
