Wen Li stared blankly when she saw the call she had just made be disconnected.

Huo Yinghuai actually dared not answer her calls!

Wen Li refused to believe it and was about to call back when her phone popped up a video call.

Wen Li pressed the answer button.

"Little pear."

Soon, Huo Yinghuai's angular face came into Wen Li's view.

Behind the man was a large, sky-blue jade carving, and above his head was a golden crystal lamp. The soft yellow light fell on Huo Yinghuai, as if adding a layer of soft gauze.

Huo Yinghuai's eyes were shrouded in shadow, and his voice, like a low-key cello in a musical theater, emitted a melodious tune: "Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

After saying that, Huo Yinghuai chuckled softly: "Little Pear, wipe your drool off."

Wenli:! ! !

She quickly wiped her mouth, but there was nothing there. She immediately realized that Huo Ying was still teasing her.

Wen Li wasn't angry and honestly said, "You look so handsome today."

After a pause, Wen Li continued, "Zhou Xingyun told me that you wanted me to be the spokesperson for the Huo Group. Do you think this is a good fit for me?"

Wen Li remembered Zhou Xingyun saying that the last global spokesperson for the Huo Group was the most famous singer in the world, who was popular in almost every country.

Her fan base in China has now grown to five million. To have so many fans with just one supporting role and one variety show is unprecedented and unparalleled in the entire entertainment industry.

Even so, Wen Li feels that she still falls short of other celebrities.

"No." Huo Yinghuai replied without hesitation, "You are very outstanding. The Huo Group chooses its spokesperson not only because of popularity, but also because of a person's character, and... how pretty they are."

Wen Li's anxiety vanished almost instantly: "I'm so happy you gave me this opportunity. After I finish my college entrance exam, I will definitely work hard to film and strive to bring you more sales!"

"Then we've achieved a win-win situation."

After Huo Yinghuai finished speaking, someone seemed to be calling him from the side. Wen Li saw a group of foreigners flash by in the camera lens and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you abroad?"

"Yes, the company is going to be listed overseas, and today happens to be the birthday of a prince in country Y. I was invited to attend the ball."

Upon hearing that it was Y country, Wen Li couldn't help but think of the variety show she had filmed there before.

Huo Yinghuai nodded: "I was here when you were filming. I haven't been back to China for the past three months."

"If I had known, I would have sent your New Year's gift to Y country."

Huo Yinghuai: "It's okay, we can dismantle it when we get back."

Wen Li: "I sent you pork, but by the time you get back, there might only be bones left."

Huo Yinghuai: "..."

It definitely won't smell bad. Huo Yinghuai's housekeeper comes regularly to clean, and she will definitely process any fresh meat and put it in the refrigerator.

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Li had unknowingly walked to the school gate.

There were quite a lot of people after school today.

She hung up the video call and was about to leave the school when a man in a suit, with a protruding beer belly, rushed up to Wen Li.

Wen Li was caught off guard and took two steps back, almost falling over.

Seeing this, the security guard quickly said, "What are you doing? Doesn't it say on the sign that parents are waiting outside? How can you be so reckless!"

The middle-aged fat man looked somewhat displeased after being spoken to, but he gave Wen Li a greasy smile: "Miss Wen."

Wen Li steadied herself, her mood already quite bad. She looked coldly at the middle-aged fat man in front of her and said, "I don't know you, get lost."

The middle-aged fat man was immediately humiliated by Wen Li upon arrival, his face turning ugly, but he still forced a smile onto his honeycomb-covered face: "Please don't be angry, my name is Pei Daguang, I'm here to see you—"

After a pause, Pei Daguang glanced around and leaned close to Wen Li's ear, but before he could get close, he was kicked away.

Pei Daguang cried out in pain, as if his internal organs had been displaced, and looked up at Wen Li in disbelief.

Why did you hit me?!

Wen Li shouted, "You said you don't know me, yet you still come over. What else is that but asking for a beating?"

Wen Li's voice suddenly grew louder, and with her big, watery eyes, it was as if she was the one who had been bullied.

Before Pei Daguang could even speak, a security guard who reacted quickly used a fork to pin his head down, and another security guard of the same weight sat on Pei Daguang's head like a mountain pressing down on him.

The elderly security guard, who was about seventy years old, said righteously, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you harass our students!"

Everyone in the school knows Wen Li!

Wen Li is so beautiful, and this fat old goose with a big head and ears put its head close to her without saying a word. What else could it be but harassment?

The security guard smacked Pei Daguang on the forehead with a stick: "Do you think everyone is blind?!"

Pei Daguang looked around and, sure enough, saw that the parents were all looking at him as if he were a pervert.

Pei Daguang spat and said, "I already told you I just wanted to talk to Miss Wen. Let me go, do you even know who I am?!"

"My nephew is the owner of the Pei Group... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, the fat security guard sitting on his head hit him on the head, making Pei Daguang yell in pain.

"Call the police!"

Some parents nearby couldn't stand it anymore.

Someone committed a crime in broad daylight!

"No, no, no, I really know Wen Li."

The chubby security guard said, "Who doesn't recognize our school's living advertisement? The moment Wen stands at the school gate, you know she's our school's most beautiful girl."

Wen Li: "..."

Pei Daguang: "..."

Seeing that Wen Li hadn't come out yet, and that someone in the crowd seemed to be calling his daughter's name, Wen Tingsong finally squeezed through the dense crowd.

What they saw was a thug who looked like a fat pig but was actually a person, snorting on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, Wen Tingsong was somewhat surprised: "President Pei?"

With his head pressed down, Pei Daguang strained to look at Wen Tingsong, and immediately looked up as if he had found a savior: "President Wen, please explain to the security guards that I'm not a bad person."

Upon hearing that the two knew each other, the chubby security guard jumped up, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Sure enough, Pei Daguang stood up and said to the security guards from before, "You all just wait, I'm going to fire you all today!"

Wen Li narrowed her eyes: "Who do you think you are? Do you own the school?"

Pei Daguang paused, glancing at Wen Li, whose expression was unfriendly.

Thinking of his request to Wen Li, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Miss Wen, I was just joking with them, please don't mind."

"I came here specifically to see you because I want you to do me a favor."

After saying that, Pei Daguang took out a few golden yellow croakers from the bag he was carrying.

"If you help me, all this gold is yours."
