We have severed our relationship, so who will still pamper you?

Chapter 220 The greatest power is Jiang Mian

Xiao Yuan knew that this opportunity was hard-won.

As the artist with the most fans under the company, Youyou usually has all work matters personally assigned by Cheng Ye's assistant Chi Mu.

Generally speaking, Cheng Ye would not directly contact Youyou for work.

This resulted in Youyou rarely seeing Cheng Ye even though they were all in the company.

Even if she saw him, she could only look at him from afar. Youyou had no chance to greet Cheng Ye from close range.

Xiao Yuan has been Fan Youyou's agent for many years, and she knows exactly what the other party is thinking. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan is worried that Fan Youyou is under too much pressure. "Youyou, we will do our best. The main thing is that our competitors this time are indeed very strong."

Fan Youyou nodded hesitantly, "I will adjust my attitude."

-

the next morning.

Kyoto Hotel, VIP box.

The chief representative of the luxury men's watch company saw that everyone except Cheng Ye was present. He looked at his watch and said, "There are still fifteen minutes until the agreed time."

After Beijing City Mayor Xie Qianxun arrived here, he found out that Miss Cheng, Chu's father and mother, and Chu Xiyan were all present, and they were actually competing with him for this brand cooperation.

To be honest, he wasn't feeling very comfortable inside.

Both he and Cheng Chu's families have business dealings, and there are both cooperative and competitive relationships.

The mayor's eldest son Xie Jiuxiao and second son Xie Zeyu both came to the hotel box. They were very curious about which blind guy dared to compete with them.

I really don't want to stay in Beijing anymore.

Cheng Wei frowned. They had arrived here an hour early, and now there were only fifteen minutes left until the agreed time.

Is the other party planning to arrive at the right time?

This is too careless.

Cheng Wei was confident and believed from the bottom of her heart that the other party would not pose any threat.

The ones who currently pose a threat to her are the city chief and the Chu family.

The general representative said with a smile: "The food has been served. It's my treat. Please enjoy."

The people around politely said a few words to each other, saying there was no rush and they would wait for the other party to come over before eating together.

The general representatives are just polite verbally, but they can't be without eyesight and they still have to observe proper table manners.

How could they start eating first when everyone isn’t here yet?

Besides, their ultimate purpose of coming here is not to eat delicacies from land and sea.

Chu Xiyan was a little annoyed. When would this person arrive?

She doesn't like waiting for people, especially on important occasions.

Until there were only two minutes left to the agreed time, the general representative thought that Cheng Ye would go back on his word and not come.

His impression of Cheng Ye is still limited to the Internet.

It seems that Cheng Yekong only has the false reputation of a genius. Knowing that he has no chance of winning, he took the initiative to withdraw.

The general representative shook his head in disappointment. Cheng Ye was indeed too young. Even if he was gifted, it didn't matter. Maybe it was just exaggerated by netizens.

He had originally been expecting how Cheng Ye would handle big situations, but now it seems that his expectations of Cheng Ye were too high.

With only thirty seconds left, the general representative was ready to announce that everyone could discuss cooperation matters while eating.

However, at this moment, the half-closed door of the box was gently opened from the outside.

When everyone heard the sound, they subconsciously looked outside the door.

The three men stood by the door, and after a brief greeting, they came and sat down at the empty seats in front of the dining table.

The general manager was very surprised. He didn't expect Cheng Ye to arrive at the scene on time.

Cheng Ye's appearance made everyone present silent.

They were shocked and looked at Cheng Ye and the other three with questioning eyes.

First of all, they have to admit that Cheng Ye has indeed achieved remarkable success in the entertainment industry, and he also has the aura of a star and a genius.

But isn't it too tactless to openly compete with them for advertising cooperation with brands?

Cheng Wei was in mixed emotions. On the one hand, there was her blood-related brother, and on the other hand, there was the brand cooperation that she was trying hard to get.

She struggled internally for more than ten seconds. In that case, it all depended on her ability.

When it comes to interests, she doesn't think she needs to sacrifice her legitimate rights for the sake of family affection.

Chu Xiyan was so shocked that she was speechless. She didn't expect it to be Cheng Ye.

Recalling the past period of time, she had repeatedly run into obstacles and suffered setbacks in front of Cheng Ye. With a strong sense of self-esteem, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness deep in her heart.

Seeing that their daughter's eyes were almost glued to Cheng Ye, Chu's father and mother coughed lightly several times, secretly reminding Xiyan to pay attention to her image.

Chu Xiyan came back to her senses and silently shifted her gaze back.

Father Chu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a friendly tone, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Xiao Ye, when you came on stage, everyone's eyes were looking at you. You stole the show. You must be very confident in yourself to be able to come here."

Cheng Ye met Chu's father's gaze without being servile or arrogant, "It's normal to be confident. Aren't you confident in yourself too?"

Father Chu's expression froze slightly, as if he had not expected Cheng Ye to ask back.

He laughed out loud, trying to cover up his embarrassment with laughter, "That's natural. Everyone here came prepared."

The general manager smiled and said, "Let's eat first, or the food will get cold."

After that, the general manager asked the waiter to bring high-quality imported red wine with a high alcohol content.

The waiter filled a glass for everyone present.

Chu Xiyan couldn't hold her liquor, so she simply switched to a glass of juice in front of everyone.

Fan Youyou was nervous. She couldn't drink alcohol, so when she saw someone taking the lead, she took the bottle of juice that Chu Xiyan had just poured and prepared to pour it into her own cup.

The atmosphere was strangely silent at this time.

Fan Youyou was stunned, and everyone around her was looking in her direction.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could she not know what this look meant?

She was no longer surprised by this kind of scene.

Every time she was forced to drink, she would have to go to the hospital after the meal because she was allergic to alcohol.

Assistant Chi Mu also noticed the meaningful smiles on those people's faces.

When Chu Xiyan replaced the red wine with juice, no one had any objection. But when Fan Youyou was about to change it to juice, they all looked at him with silent and obscure eyes.

Although no one spoke, their eyes spoke volumes.

Fan Youyou is not Chu Xiyan, and she does not have a powerful background from a wealthy family. She is just a celebrity with a large number of fans.

If I ask you to drink, you just accept it. What right do you have to exchange it for juice?

Chi Mu opened his mouth, but he didn't have the ability to speak for his own artist, so he could only shut up.

Chu Xiyan looked coldly at Fan Youyou who was sitting next to Cheng Ye.

She felt a sense of crisis, but it was not as strong as when she faced Jiang Mian.

Under pressure, Fan Youyou had to put the juice back to its original place.

Cheng Ye showed no emotion. He lowered his eyes and said, "Aren't you allergic to alcohol?"

Fan Youyou quickly shook her head, "It doesn't matter!"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

What Cheng Ye wanted to express was obvious. On the surface, he was asking Fan Youyou, but in fact, he was talking to the other people present.

Chu Xiyan tightly gripped the glass of juice and suddenly she felt unhappy with Fan Youyou.

Chu's father and mother smiled but said nothing, but the smile did not reach their eyes.

Cheng Wei frowned slightly. Xiaoye is just an artist. Why should she protect him?

The mayor of Beijing, Xie Qianxun, thought of the evil woman Jiang Mian, and he felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.

Weird.

Jiang Mian was not at the scene, what was he afraid of?

Xie Qianxun pretended to be calm and thought, forget it, for Jiang Mian's sake, he might as well help Cheng Ye.

He smiled kindly, "You must be Xiaoye's artist Fan Youyou, right? It turns out you are allergic to alcohol. I heard that allergies can easily cause rashes, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening. Is that true?"

Fan Youyou replied hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

She didn't dare talk too much, as it would be very easy to say the wrong thing if she talked too much.

The eldest brother Xie Jiuxiao and the second brother Xie Zeyu looked at each other. Xie Zeyu sighed inwardly. He took the initiative to stand up and helped Fan Youyou change the juice. "Then drink the juice. After all, it's not good to go to the hospital if you are allergic to alcohol."

Seeing this, the general manager Xu Mo burst into laughter and stood up. "It's fate that we can get together today. Cheers."

Seeing that everyone around her had stood up, Fan Youyou quickly got up as well.

After everyone clinked their glasses, they drank the red wine or juice in their glasses and then sat down again.

Everyone remembered the purpose of their visit, and after chatting with each other for a while, they gradually got to the point.

Cheng Wei first recommended the artist Zeng Zong whom she invited. "He is 27 years old this year. He is not only a well-known actor at home and abroad, but also a top model with a high reputation internationally. Whether it is influence or aura and temperament, he is impeccable."

"At the same time, I am proficient in dozens of languages, and can fully meet your requirements of shooting video advertisements in more than ten different languages."

Zeng Zong introduced himself politely and finally said, "I am fully confident that I can shoot a high-quality advertising video and bring rich long-term benefits to you, Mr. Xu. I sincerely ask Mr. Xu to give me this valuable opportunity, and I will definitely live up to your expectations."

The general manager Xu Mo couldn't help but show an approving expression, "Their abilities in all aspects are indeed in line with our requirements this time."

Chu's father and mother couldn't sit still anymore.

Father Chu said, “Mr. Xu, I personally think that Zeng Zong will be at risk of overturning.”

Xu Mo raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Zeng Zong's abilities are impeccable, but as far as I know, Xu Mo has been developing overseas for many years, right? The ideas he accepted are also from overseas, and it seems that his private life is rather complicated." Father Chu said with a smile.

Xu Mo fell into deep thought.

Cheng Wei's face changed. "Private life is completely groundless. There is no solid evidence. Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about this."

She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Boss Chu, what kind of artist are you going to find? I see you didn't bring anyone here."

Mother Chu proudly replied, "Our Xiyan is capable of doing this, so why do we need an artist?"

Xu Mo couldn't help but ask, "You can speak more than a dozen languages?"

Chu Xiyan was calm and composed. "Boss Xu, my parents have been cultivating my multilingual skills since I can remember."

Father Chu was full of pride, "My daughter has a good appearance and figure, and her language ability is beyond doubt. Most importantly, she doesn't have a complicated private life."

Cheng Wei subconsciously clenched her hands at her sides, "But don't forget, this endorsement is for men's watches, Zeng Zong is a male model, and his appearance, temperament, and even micro-expressions are all top-notch."

"When shooting an advertising video, the spokesperson's eyes and temperament are very important. I would like to ask, Miss Chu has no acting experience, and she is not a professional model. She should be lacking in eyes and temperament, right?"

Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart. She immediately retorted, "This is not a big problem. As long as you pay more attention, you can avoid it."

"Is it really just a small problem?" Cheng Wei asked with a smile.

Chu Xiyan was choked and speechless for a moment.

The general manager Xu Mo was caught in a difficult decision-making situation. The two sides were evenly matched, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

It mainly depends on how you make the choice.

Xie Qianxun, the mayor of Beijing who had been silent the whole time, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If you ask me, as long as a person is the spokesperson, there will definitely be more or less risks."

Xu Mo gave him an inquiring look.

Big brother Xie Jiuxiao turned on the laptop he carried with him and played the introduction video of the smart AI Xiaoque.

After the broadcast, Xie Jiuxiao added: "We invited a top research team to develop the intelligent AI Xiao Que. She has an angelic face, a devilish figure, and a heavenly voice. She can easily handle various styles, whether it is a cute girl, a queen, or a funny girl. There is no problem."

"Not to mention her ability in multiple languages, clear pronunciation and pure accent. Compared with Zeng Zong and Xi Yan, Xiao Que is obviously better." Xie Jiuxiao said confidently.

Chu Xiyan looked unhappy. "Using AI, you guys can't believe you came up with this idea. Can a virtual human without emotions drive consumption among male audiences?"

Xu Mo thought it made sense, "The lack of emotion is indeed a rather obvious shortcoming."

He was once again in a dilemma. Finally, he had to turn his gaze towards Cheng Ye and the others who remained silent. "Cheng Ye, what about you?"

After listening to their stories, Fan Youyou suddenly felt a little insecure.

They have good language skills, however, they speak English haltingly.

Chi Mu regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. The gap was too big. Should he persuade the boss to come and compete, instead of just waiting to be slapped in the face?

Cheng Ye said calmly, "Boss Xu, you mainly value popularity and power, right?"

Xu Mo was stunned, "Yes, that's right."

"Then add up my popularity and Fan Youyou's popularity, and tell me if it's enough." Cheng Ye said slowly.

Xu Mo: “…?”

"AI Xiaoque has only been out for a short time and is not very popular."

City chief Xie Qianxun, eldest brother Xie Jiuxiao, and second brother Xie Zeyu, all of them felt as if their hearts were stabbed by Cheng Ye.

"The combined popularity of Chu Xiyan and Zeng Zong is not as high as mine and Fan Youyou."

Zeng Zong's face suddenly changed. He was not convinced. "Cheng Ye, I have over 100 million fans abroad and 80 million fans in China. How come I am not as popular as you and Fan Youyou combined?"

Xu Mo couldn't help but think, yes, there is nothing wrong with this statement. To be precise, it is basically the same.

"Mr. Xu, in this round of investment, you plan to invest 70% of the funds in China, and 30% of the funds in different countries abroad. With this weight ratio, it is obvious that my domestic fans exceeding million are more valuable than Zeng Zong's fans exceeding million abroad."

"Also, the return on investment brought by popularity is different. Zeng Zong's fan base is mostly young women, but he endorses men's watches, and the consumers are mainly men. Women rarely buy men's watches, right? Unless they are giving them to their boyfriends or male elders."

"Fan Youyou's fan base has more boys than girls, while my fan base is basically evenly distributed, including men, women, young and old." Cheng Ye said in a low voice, "Fan Youyou is the spokesperson, and I promote her. The total popularity and return on investment will be much higher than Zeng Zong's."

Cheng Wei and Zeng Zong's facial expressions were stiff, and at this moment, they did not look very good.

Xu Mo sincerely praised, "Cheng Ye, in terms of popularity, you won without a doubt, but...what about power?"

After these words were spoken, the others looked at Cheng Ye.

They wanted to see how Cheng Ye would respond next.

Chu Xiyan was inexplicably flustered.

Cheng Ye said with a hint of meaning, "Boss Xu, do I need to specifically explain and emphasize the power aspect?"

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and smiled, "Cheng Ye, you are really not polite at all."

He heard the hidden meaning in Cheng Ye's words. He had worked with the Jiang family before, so he naturally knew Jiang Mian, the daughter of the Jiang family.

Today, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian are recognized as a couple on the Internet.

If netizens don’t understand, how could Xu Mo not understand?

The most powerful person behind Cheng Ye right now is Jiang Mian.

Xu Mo couldn't help but feel envious. He had to say that Cheng Ye was really lucky. If he had such an awesome girlfriend, he would have chosen to lie down long ago.

"Okay, you've won both popularity and power." Xu Mo made up his mind, "But Cheng Ye, how are you going to solve the problem of shooting the video ad? Fan Youyou isn't proficient in multiple languages, but I require that the original voice must be used."

Cheng Wei was shocked. She actually lost?!

While Chu's father and mother were unwilling to lose like this, they couldn't help but hope that Cheng Ye could become the son-in-law of the Chu family.

Chu Xiyan was at a loss, she understood Cheng Ye's hidden meaning and felt extremely flustered.

Jiang Mian! Jiang Mian! Why is it Jiang Mian again!!

Chu Xiyan hates being outdone by Jiang Mian!!

The mayor of Beijing, Xie Qianxun, the eldest brother Xie Jiuxiao, and the second brother Xie Zeyu, all accepted their defeat with conviction.

Chi Mu and Fan Youyou were confused. How did they win?
