Chapter 266: The benefits should not benefit outsiders
In Chapter 266 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor": "Weâre planning to invite the âNational Sweetheartâ Ye Wumei to be our spokesperson, Fang Bai,... Discover the next events!
"Weâre planning to invite the âNational Sweetheartâ Ye Wumei to be our spokesperson, Fang Bai, what do you think?"o his ear and said with a smile.
Su Yifei appeared skeptical and asked, "Really? As far as I know, Ye Wumei has always been very reserved and seldom makes friends with the opposite sex... How do you know her?"
"Hello... is this Fang Bai?"
Before Fang Bai could answer, the phone was already connected, and a heavenly and melodious voice came through the receiver, filled with joy and excitement.
This heavenly voice belonged to the "National Sweetheart" Ye Wumei.
At the time Ye Wumei received Fang Baiâs call, she was in the living room of a villa in Zhongzhou City, chatting with a close girlfriend and preparing to head to Yanjing for a major philanthropic charity auction.
"Wumei, whose call is it?"
Seeing Ye Wumeiâs excited and thrilled expression when she saw the number displayed on the phone, her girlfriend couldnât help asking.
"A friend..."
Ye Wumei replied offhandedly, then holding the phone, she ran out to the green lawn outside the villa to take the call.
"Itâs me."
It had been a while since Fang Bai had met with Ye Wumei, and hearing her voice warmed his heart slightly. He gently asked, "Wumei, have you been busy lately?"
"Not too busy, but Iâm not sitting idle... Fang Bai, are you calling my cell for something important?"
Ye Wumei knew Fang Bai was busy and that he seldom contacted her unless there was something important.
At this thought, Ye Wumei felt a tinge of melancholy and slight grievance. After all, how could she not, being a mega-star and beauty adored by many? A mere wave of her hand could prompt countless men willing to go through fire and water for her, so why couldnât she attract Fang Baiâs attention?
This made Ye Wumei feel depressed and even insecure about her looks and figure.
However, when they were together, Ye Wumei could still feel that Fang Bai actually liked her a bit, it was just that his personality was low-key and reserved, not fervently expressive like other men.
What Ye Wumei wished for the most was to receive calls from Fang Bai every day, and then just chat simply about life and work, sharing happy and interesting stories, instead of only talking about cultivation.
If Fang Bai could say a few sweet nothings to make the girl happy after they finished their calls, that would be even better.
Of course, Ye Wumei knew this was just a wishful thought, and she really hoped this wish could become reality.
"Well, I do have something I need your help with..."
As if they were connected by telepathy, sensing the grievance and melancholy on Ye Wumeiâs end, Fang Baiâs voice became even softer and he said, "Wumei, itâs been a while since we last met, right? If you have time, Iâd like to treat you to a meal."
"Itâs a deal!"
Upon hearing that Fang Bai wanted to treat her to a meal, Ye Wumeiâs eyes sparkled with joy, and the slight grievance and melancholy she had felt were immediately cast aside, as she sweetly asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
"Hereâs the thing..."
In just a few words, Fang Bai explained how Beauty Company wanted to invite her to endorse their products and concluded with, "The reason I want you to endorse our product is firstly because you have a great image, excellent temperament, and huge popularity; secondly, âitâs better to keep the benefits within our own circleââIâd rather let you earn this money than someone else!"
He paused and then said, "Of course, whether you take this endorsement is up to youâyou donât have to agree out of consideration for me."
The praise of being "beautiful" and having an "excellent temperament" was something Ye Wumei had heard countless times since her debut, almost to the point of growing calluses on her ears, but now, hearing it from Fang Bai, she was overjoyed and thrilled.
Especially the phrase "itâs better to keep the benefits within our own circle," which made Ye Wumei extremely happy; it showed that Fang Bai already regarded her as someone very close to him.
"I know about Beauty Company; itâs a rising beauty company with a strong presence recently. I never thought you would be one of the shareholders... Since youâve said âitâs better to keep the benefits within our own circle,â how could I refuse?"
"So youâre saying you agree?"
"Of course! But thereâs no need for so much endorsement money, just give a nominal amountâthat will do!"
Although Ye Wumei was a top superstar in Huaxiaâs entertainment industry with undeniable influence, an endorsement fee of fifty million was still a bit excessive for her.
Fang Bai laughed and said, "I heard you never endorse any products before, so itâs our honor to have you represent us. Forget about fifty million; even a hundred million wouldnât be too much!"
Ye Wumei said coyly, "You are my lifesaver and taught me Ancient Martial; even without a penny, I would still be willing to endorse your products!"
Fang Bai said, "Letâs talk about the endorsement fee when you come to Zhongzhou City later. Discuss it with President Xia and Eldest Young Master Su then."
Ye Wumei said, "Iâm already in Zhongzhou City! I have nothing else to do, so why donât I go talk to them now?"
Fang Bai was surprised and then said, "Itâs quite a coincidence, Iâm in Zhongzhou too, talking with President Xia and Eldest Young Master Su right now. Come over, and weâll have lunch together."
"Ah, youâre in Zhongzhou City?"
Ye Wumei was overjoyed, almost jumping with excitement, "When did you come back? Youâre not lying to me, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? You know where the headquarters of Beauty Company is, right? Weâre waiting for you here!"
"Great, Iâll be there in half an hour!"
After ending the call, Ye Wumei rushed back to the villaâs living room, greeted her bestie, and boarded a black bulletproof business car with four family bodyguards, two men and two women, heading straight for the headquarters of Beauty Company.
