Indeed, the current Xia Xiaodie is still very naive, far from those magnates who traverse the business world.

But who can guarantee that she won't be one of those dazzling stars in the sky in the future?

Chen Bi, with her mediocre status in the entertainment circle, surely doesn't have the right to look down on others.

Xu Fan may not hit women, but Chen Bi, in his eyes, doesn't count as one.

"Xiaodie, let's go."

Having gathered the materials he had brought, Xu Fan now walked over to Xia Xiaodie, took her hand, and headed towards the suite's entrance.

"Stop right there!"

Before the two had gone far, one of the waiting suited bodyguards, with a steel-like expression on his face, approached them.

If he did nothing after his employer had been beaten, how could he justify the salary he received?

"You think you can hit someone and run? Kid, today I'm going to make you lie down!"

After dropping his harsh words, the opponent pulled out a baton and, gritting his teeth, charged at Xu Fan!

"Idiot..."

Such a low-grade bodyguard really wasn't worth a glance from him. Xu Fan glanced indifferently, flicked a finger without a second thought, and continued to walk on, leading Xia Xiaodie with him.

A stream of Vigorous Qi burst forth from his finger! It shot towards the opponent's baton and before he could reach Xu Fan, the man was sent flying.

...

Once out of Chen Bi's room, Xia Xiaodie's face couldn't help but darken a little.

It wasn't that she blamed Xu Fan for being a bit too forceful just now, she had already lost all hope in Chen Bi.

Her current worry was that after being humiliated by Xu Fan today, Chen Bi might become desperate.

"Xu Fan, no matter what, Chen Bi does have some reputation in Shanghai, and if she uses the media to smear us, it could influence the opening of our jewelry store," Xia Xiaodie said.

Compared to her and Xu Fan, Chen Bi indeed had a much higher profile in Shanghai, which made Xia Xiaodie worry Chen Bi would do such a despicable thing.

Listening to this, Xu Fan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiaodie, she won't do that."

Although someone like Chen Bi could do something rash out of desperation, such a selfish person would have to consider her own interests before taking such an action.

"This kind of action would be thankless for her. Besides, she'll definitely be afraid of us biting back," Xu Fan assured her.

Her image off screen was starkly different, and Chen Bi herself was not so clean. If the public found out her true character, it would be a fatal blow to her.

Xu Fan could guarantee that Chen Bi didn't have the guts to gamble with her life against his.

"That's true."

Thinking it over, Xia Xiaodie nodded, then let out a sigh.

"It's a pity though, our trip today has been in vain."

Before coming, she had been full of anticipation to conclude this cooperation perfectly.

Little did she know, Chen Bi would be such a disappointment...

Xia Xiaodie's mood wasn't too good right now.

"You've been working too hard these past few days, take a good rest. I'll figure something out for the spokesperson," Xu Fan said with some distress, looking at her.

In this situation, it seemed that he could only ask Li Qinghe for help.

It wasn't to have her be the spokesperson herself. Compared to him, she was much more familiar with the entertainment circle.

With her connections, she should be able to provide a good spokesperson for him.

"Xu Fan, you're not thinking of finding Shimeng, are you?" Xia Xiaodie guessed, longing to see her good friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Smiling, she said, "I think that would actually be quite good, it's just Shimeng's not that famous yet, and it might not have a big effect in the short term."

Seeing Xia Xiaodie excitedly speculating, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and pinched her cheek, saying, "Alright, no more wild guesses."

"From here on, leave it to me."

After leaving the hotel with Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan sent her home.

These past few days, that stubborn girl probably hadn't had a good sleep, so Xu Fan sternly warned her to rest well for a few days before he felt at ease to leave.

Now with some free time, Xu Fan made a call to Li Qinghe.

"Hello? Xu Fan?"

"Yep, it's me. Are you in Shanghai right now?"

Li Qinghe was certainly not on Chen Bi's level, with a packed schedule that almost always had her flying all over the country.

As Xu Fan asked, he wanted to see if she was in Shanghai.

"Yep, just finished a job, now resting. Are you coming to see me?"

For some reason, Li Qinghe's tone carried a hint of missing him.

"Is it convenient?"

He truly needed to talk to her in person about the endorsement matter. However, thinking about the last time with the wardrobe, Xu Fan casually asked.

"Pfft."

On the phone, Li Qinghe couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Breathing out, she said on the phone: "Xu Fan, there's no one at my place."

Fairy...

Being capable of such a wide range of roles, Li Qinghe, this enchantress, could be innocent if she wanted, seductive if she desired.

Xu Fan hung up the phone and then drove towards Li Qinghe's residence at First Grade.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of Li Qinghe's villa. Xu Fan pressed the doorbell and began to wait.

However, after ringing the doorbell, there was no response from inside for quite a while...

Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.

"There's no one at home, huh," remembering Li Qinghe's words, Xu Fan wondered if it really meant no one was there.

Feeling tricked, Xu Fan rolled his eyes and was about to leave. But just as he took three steps away, the villa's gate creaked open.

There stood Li Qinghe, dressed in home attire, looking somewhat annoyed at the doorway.

"Humph, couldn't you have waited a bit longer?"

Li Qinghe had already been waiting at the door before Xu Fan's arrival, spying on him through the peephole.

She had wanted to see how long he would wait, but just as she started the countdown, the man was already preparing to leave.

Li Qinghe wore an expression of understated grievance.

"Come in."

Curling her nose and giving Xu Fan a glare, Li Qinghe walked in on her own.

Clearly a bit upset, she went ahead and brewed herself a cup of tea upon entering the house.

As for Xu Fan, well, let him serve himself if he wanted anything!

Savoring a sip of the newly bought tea, Li Qinghe glanced at Xu Fan and said, "So, tell me, what brings you here?"

"I'm planning to launch a jewelry line soon, everything is almost ready—just missing a good spokesperson, so I came to you," Xu Fan said straightforwardly, not beating around the bush.

"Oh?"

Li Qinghe set down her teacup and raised an eyebrow.

If following Xu Fan's intentions, he was looking to have her endorse his jewelry, huh?

"Cough cough..."

Straightening up, Li Qinghe said, "Xu Fan, having me as a spokesperson is quite expensive, you know. But well, if you were to ask..."

Rarely did this guy need her for anything, and Li Qinghe, with her chin lifted, thought she must give him a hard time.
