Chapter 234 Milk Tea Roundup, Patty Hou. Endorsement Confirmed.

Little S secretly cursed in her heart, knowing that Big S would never win over Chen Fang. The relationship between these two sisters was different from that of sisters in ordinary families; it was the kind where they were mutually jealous. They even flirted with each other's boyfriends. Little S was of average appearance but was flirtatious, while Big S was prettier and, although also flirtatious, usually didn't show it.

Barbie Hsu (Da S) often teases Dee Hsu (Xiao S) on her shows; it's commonplace for her. Barbie Hsu is often portrayed as a refined lady, and Wang Xiaofei was fooled by her. In fact, Barbie Hsu's biological father is very likely that extremely ugly man, Huang Renzhong. Why do I say this? First of all, Barbie Hsu's mother became Huang Renzhong's mistress, and Barbie Hsu and Huang Renzhong look very similar.

To be honest, Barbie Hsu's only redeeming quality is her innocent appearance. She's not particularly attractive, and she's covered in tattoos. Shen Fang really dislikes women like her. Not only is her private life messy, but she also has a history of drug use. She's trash; he wouldn't even look at her.

At this moment, the door opened and two men and a woman walked in. The young man was thin, with messy, dyed blond hair and an arrogant demeanor. He wasn't the "Milk Tea Lun" yet; he was already quite handsome.

As for Wu Zongxian's so-called king of variety shows, he's only suitable for Taiwan. He's not presentable in mainland China; he's too vulgar and likes to tell lowbrow jokes. That's the kind of humor Taiwanese entertainers have. You wouldn't expect a host to be like that in mainland China. Then there's the nine-headed beauty Patty Hou, but to be honest, she's just so-so.

"Petty, you're here too?"

Barbie Hsu narrowed her eyes; a rival had arrived!

Barbie Hsu held Patty Hou's arm affectionately and looked at Shen Fang, saying, "This is my good friend, Patty Hou is a member of our Seven Princesses Sisterhood, and this is President Shen."

Shen Fang smiled and nodded in acknowledgment; he was not interested in Patty Hou.

PS: "Taiwan Seven Fairies" is a group centered around the Hsu sisters (Barbie Hsu and Dee Hsu), and also includes popular Taiwanese female artists such as Pace Wu, Christine Fan, Mavis Fan, Aya, and Makiyo. It's essentially just the name of a group; the members are all artists, and they don't necessarily have particularly close relationships. It's mainly an organization to increase popularity and attract fans. Taiwanese people especially like these groups, with names like "Sweetheart Queen," "Fashion Queen," and "Little King."

Back then, the media dubbed them the "Four Little Heavenly Queens" (now known as the "Four Heavenly Queens"): Jolin Tsai, Stefanie Sun, Elva Hsiao, and Zhou Hui/Fish Leong.

In addition, there are four other "Queens": Jolin Tsai, the Queen of Pop; Angela Chang, the Queen of Electric Eyes; Cyndi Wang, the Queen of Sweetness; and Rainie Yang, the Queen of Cuteness.

It's mainly for popularity; giving someone a title and increasing their status is just media hype and has no real effect.

However, for some reason, people in China started to follow suit. Huang Xiaoming's cult leader and the Teddy Bear Sisters group both followed suit. There are many benefits to forming a group, but that's about it. Once an individual reaches the top level, whether or not they form an organization becomes irrelevant.

Shen Fang stood up, walked to Milk Tea Lun, smiled deeply, and looked at Milk Tea Lun with his right hand.

"Hello, Jay Chou, I am a loyal fan of yours. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for your Beijing concert in 2001. I am very happy to see you today."

Jaylen stared blankly at Shen Fang.

Wu Zongxian, standing to the side, subtly nudged Jay Chou, thinking, "How can he be so tactless?!"

Milk Tea Wheel then realized what was happening: "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Hello, Jay Chou."

Everyone took their seats.

"Jay Chou made a special trip to Taiwan this time just to have you endorse our milk tea brand."

When Jay Chou heard that he was endorsing milk tea, he asked, "Can I try the product?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Kun will make Jay Chou a cup."

Shen Kun asked the waiter to bring him hot water and made Jay Chou a cup of milk tea on the spot. Jay Chou smelled it and found it to be very fragrant.

"Hey, not bad."

Wu Zongxian, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. How dare you speak to such a big shot like that? He had seen it all: even Boss Yang treated this ridiculously young CEO Shen with such utmost respect. He had absolutely no sense of propriety! How could I have taken on such a colorless entertainer?!

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Try it."

Jay Chou took a sip, and a rich, fragrant milk tea flavor burst in his mouth. This was the taste—smooth and silky, like the feeling of first love!

"Not bad, right?"

Jaylen nodded: "It's good, very delicious, I brought some with me."

Shen Fang laughed heartily: "If you like it, that's good. This time, I'm going to sign you to a 10-year contract with a 20 million yuan endorsement fee. What do you think?"

When Wu Zongxian heard the price of 20 million, his eyes practically turned into money. As for the 10-year period, he didn't care; it was just a tool for him to make money anyway.

Jay Chou was also surprised when he heard about the 20 million, and looked at Wu Zongxian.

Wu Zongxian said, "No problem, we agree."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Alright, let's sign the contract tomorrow."

Is Jay Chou interested in developing his career in mainland China?

Upon hearing Shen Fang's words, Milk Tea Lun looked completely bewildered: "Huh?"

"Mr. Shen is not only a business owner, but also a figure of great influence in the mainland entertainment industry, and the new boss of Hong Kong Golden Harvest."

Yang Dengkui revealed Shen Fang's identity.

Barbie Hsu, Dee Hsu, and Patty Hou's eyes were practically sparkling with pink bubbles! What a catch! A diamond bachelor!

“I…I…I’ll listen to Angkor.”
