Chen Yizhou furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying, “Yinuo, we are about to launch a new line of jade jewelry, and this design is perfect for young girls. So, do you think you can get Miss Jiang to be our brand ambassador?”

Chen Yinuo was a bit surprised. Chen Yizhou had high standards, and it was unexpected that he wanted to invite Jiang Ling’er to represent their brand after just one meeting.

Chen Yinuo looked at his brother in confusion and asked, “Seriously? She’s in the performing arts department, but she’s also a newcomer, and whether it’s acting or other aspects, she might still be quite inexperienced. Do you think she can handle it? You do realize that this is a seller’s market showcase, not a buyer’s market showcase.”

Chen Yizhou understood what his younger brother meant, and he smiled, saying, “Do you think Jiang Ling’er’s personality and appearance are not good enough?”

Chen Yinuo responded, “Her qualities are indeed quite good, but isn’t it a bit too much to invite a newcomer who doesn’t have much recognition?”

Chen Yinuo also thought Jiang Ling’er was promising, but her current level of fame might not suit such a significant role.

Chen Yizhou explained, “I believe she’ll handle it well. Now it’s up to you to convince her to join.”

Chen Yinuo was confused and asked, “If you’re so confident, why didn’t you reveal your identity earlier, and why don’t you go yourself? Wouldn’t that be more sincere?”

Chen Yizhou felt somewhat embarrassed because he believed that if he personally approached Jiang Ling’er, she would probably reject him, and he didn’t want to risk derailing the deal this time.

Chen Yizhou had a guilty conscience but remained sincere. He explained, “The reason is quite simple: it’s to provide you with an opportunity for growth.”

Chen Yinuo was puzzled and didn’t notice anything amiss, but he felt a bit like he was being taken advantage of.

He said, “Brother, I’m not very good at talking. If I get rejected, it’ll be super embarrassing.”

Chen Yizhou replied, “So, you’re refusing the first task I’ve given you?”

Chen Yinuo felt very awkward and responded, “1 just want to make it clear, in case she declines, I won’t keep bothering her.”

Chen Yizhou thought for a moment and said, “You don’t need to keep bothering her, but don’t brush it off. You can tell her that the pay is not an issue.”

After considering it, Chen Yinuo agreed, “Alright, I’ll give it a try, but 1 can’t guarantee success. And 1 need to remind you once again that her reputation isn’t the best.”

Chen Yizhou was shocked and asked, “Her reputation isn’t good? How did it get that bad?”

Chen Yinuo proceeded to recount all the past incidents involving Jiang Ling’er to his brother.

After listening, Chen Yizhou remained silent for a while and said, “Most of these things sound fabricated, so you don’t need to pay much attention. I’m giving you this task now, and 1 hope you’ll execute it successfully.”

Chen Yinuo was speechless.

Chen Yizhou saw his brother’s expression and said seriously, “What’s with your expression? I’m warning you, don’t try to fool me!”

Chen Yizhou had seen Jiang Ling’er and Bai Xue before. In comparison, Jiang Ling’er was better.

Chen Yinuo rolled her eyes.

Chen Yinuo, with a sarcastic look, replied, “Alright, I understand. Just saying, it might not work.”

Chen Yizhou started the car and said, “Alright, 1 just need you to make this happen.”

Chen Yinuo rolled his eyes, feeling perplexed as to how this task had become his responsibility to handle, given his earlier statement that he couldn’t guarantee success.

After Bai Xue finished talking to Jiang Jun, she went to sleep and didn’t wake up until the afternoon.

Realizing that there was still filming scheduled at the theater, she felt irritated. Given her current condition, it seemed impossible to go on set.

Without much thought, she dialed her agent’s number.

When the call was answered, she said, “Sister Tang, it’s me, Bai Xue. I’m feeling really unwell, and I can’t make it to the set.”

Upon hearing Bai Xue’s words, Tang Xiaohong became annoyed. It was clear that Bai Xue was just trying to avoid work, and Tang Xiaohong found it frustrating. She believed that Bai Xue had a long way to go in terms of her work ethic. If Li Yan wasn’t Bai Xue’s boyfriend, Tang Xiaohong wouldn’t even want to manage an artist like her.

Tang Xiaohong said, “Bai Xue, you’re the female lead, and you have many scenes. Because of your previous actions, you’ve caused delays for the entire production. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Tang Xiaohong’s tone irritated Bai Xue, but she had to continue pretending to be helpless.

Bai Xue replied, “Sister Tang, you were at the birthday banquet yesterday. I had a little too much to drink, and I still have a terrible headache now.”

She paused for a moment and then added, “This morning, when Li Yan left, he specifically told me to rest at home. He asked the production team to handle things on their end. If it’s absolutely necessary, they can use a stand-in for now and deal with it in post-production..”
