Song Mai's obvious reluctance to speak left Lin Ran momentarily at a loss for words.

She remained silent for a long time before softly admonishing, "Whatever you want to do, be careful when you leave."

Both Ji Fenghe and Chu Yunxing are incredibly powerful and not people that ordinary people can afford to offend.

If Song Mai continues to be caught between the two, she will eventually suffer injustice.

Song Mai understood that she was doing this for her own good, and a reassuring smile appeared on her face: "I understand, so don't worry."

Lin Ran nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tonight was a sleepless night for the project team members, who focused intently on their work until eight o'clock in the morning.

Song Mai glanced at the time, her expression serious.

"There's only one hour left until the new product launch. Is everyone mentally prepared?"

An hour later, a deluge of questions and online buzz will come flooding in.

With freedom of speech among netizens, there will naturally be many offensive and offensive comments.

Su He nodded seriously: "We understand."

Song Mai checked the PPT and statement in her hands one last time, making final preparations.

Ji Fenghe hadn't slept all night and brought breakfast to the office: "Everyone, have something to eat. You've all had a hard night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Lu brought breakfast to everyone.

Looking at the two almost identical breakfasts, everyone was unsure which to choose.

None of them are people I can afford to mess with.

However, since they are now in Yunxing Group, they naturally have to give Chu Yunxing face.

Everyone cautiously approached Assistant Lu and took their breakfast.

Helpless, Song Mai tried to smooth things over for Ji Feng: "It's okay, everyone can just take what they like to eat."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yunxing entered the office with a serious expression, as if something had happened.

"Everyone is called to an emergency meeting."

His gaze did not linger on Ji Fenghe, and this dismissive attitude made Ji Fenghe somewhat dissatisfied.

Song Mai gently reassured her, "Wait for us here."

In the conference room, everyone was on high alert, and the only sound was their heavy breathing.

"The other company suddenly announced that Shen Xiujing has become the brand ambassador. Does anyone know what's going on?" Chu Yunxing frowned.

After hearing him say that, everyone subconsciously turned to look at Song Mai.

Everyone knew she was negotiating an endorsement deal. Although she didn't announce the outcome of the negotiations, her expression showed that everything went smoothly.

Everyone subconsciously thought that Shen Xiujing's endorsement would boost their comeback, but they didn't expect that the other party would directly shut down the endorsement, which would be detrimental to the company.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and they looked at each other, communicating with their eyes.

Song Mai was even more taken aback and subconsciously retorted, "Impossible."

"This is the update they just posted. Everyone can take a look." Chu Yunxing projected the update directly onto the big screen.

Looking at the statement issued by the other company, Song Mai saw that Shen Xiujing was indeed the spokesperson for the entire series of works.

"Have Shen Xiujing and his studio issued any relevant statements?" Song Mai asked again.

"Not yet." Chu Yunxing turned to look at Assistant Lu and spoke after confirming.

Song Mai took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Perhaps this is just the other party striking first and using this method to morally blackmail Shen Xiujing."

This possibility was not out of the question, and it suddenly became the last straw in my heart.

With only forty minutes left before the new product launch, Song Mai made a quick decision to call Shen Xiujing.

After two unanswered calls, Song Mai completely panicked.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go directly to Shen Xiujing's studio.

Seeing her rush out the door, Chu Yunxing was naturally worried. He hurriedly announced the adjournment of the meeting, grabbed his coat, and strode out after her.

Seeing this, Ji Fenghe followed along.

Song Mai ignored the two people behind her and drove away.

Two people in a car chased after them at breakneck speed.

Song Mai arrived at the studio entrance, looked at the tightly closed door, and couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

Could it be that I was really stood up?

She pondered for a moment, then decided to knock on the door.

I thought there was no one in the studio, but unexpectedly a figure appeared, looking like he was in a hurry.

Who are you looking for?

A studio that doesn't open for business and instead keeps its doors tightly shut seems suspicious.

"Is Shen Xiujing here?" Song Mai's tone was also somewhat displeased, and her overall demeanor made the other party suspicious for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Fenghe and Chu Yunxing also arrived behind the seller.

This scene made the other party's expression even more serious, and he looked at Song Mai with a hint of respect.

"Wait here for a moment."

With half an hour left before the new product launch, the three people waited anxiously in the reception room. Ten minutes later, Shen Xiujing arrived in front of everyone fully armed.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened today?" Song Mai asked directly, which made Shen Xiujing's manager show some dissatisfaction.

"How could you say that about Xiujing?" the agent said, exasperated.

Shen Xiujing stopped her, looking directly at Song Mai.

"Would you believe me if I said that her life was not given with my consent?"

Song Mai carefully examined his eyes; they were sharp-browed and bright-eyed, filled with gentleness and sorrow.

This appearance didn't seem fake. Song Mai asked in confusion, "How could the other party have such audacity?"

“They’ve approached me many times, hoping I could endorse their products. I was hesitant at first, but when you contacted me yesterday, I was more willing to trust you.” Shen Xiujing shrugged. “Everyone, don’t worry, my studio and I will issue a statement and sue them for infringing on my reputation.”

The agent looked at him cautiously and said in a low voice, "The other party is giving way too much."

Shen Xiujing raised an eyebrow and didn't speak again for a moment.

Song Mai turned to look at Chu Yunxing, and the two looked at each other.

Ji Feng whispered a reminder: "If his influence is worth it, shouldn't you also increase the compensation?"

"No way," Chu Yunxing and Song Mai said in unison.

Song Mai paused for a moment before explaining, "It's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Since the payment has already been agreed upon in advance, there can be no going back. Otherwise, if every spokesperson asks for more payment on the spot, Yunxing Group will face great difficulties."

“Special problems require special discussion. Is there a better way right now?” Ji Feng frowned, clearly disagreeing with the two men’s views.

"Let's wait for his feedback." Song Mai couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
