Chapter 565 Lucky Koi
The news of Ye Wanxi and the others' return had been informed to Guan Xuanshi and Gao Min the day before, so that they could come to pick them up at the airport on time the next day.
These two overworked office workers, looking extremely haggard because their ancestors had been shirking their responsibilities for months, met at the airport.
Looking at each other's dark circles, which were exactly the same as their own, the two exchanged a rare, knowing smile, their brows furrowed with resentment and lingering worries.
When Ye Wanxi and the others came out through the special passage, their eyes, which had been like a stagnant pool, suddenly lit up, as if they had been suddenly injected with life and come back to life.
"Wanxi (Boss), over here!"
After several months apart, Gao Min could no longer contain her emotions and rushed forward to hug Ye Wanxi tightly: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Ye Wanxi could tell from Gao Min's haggard face how much pressure she had been under during this time, and felt deeply apologetic: "You've all worked so hard."
“What hardship have we endured? You are busy running around on the front lines, and we haven’t been able to help you at all. All we can do is pray for you at home and wish you a safe return.”
Gao Min's words were true. Her haggard appearance was partly due to the cleanup work after Ye Wanxi's long absence, but more so because she was worried about Ye Wanxi's situation abroad.
Even though Ye Wanxi had repeatedly assured her that she wouldn't be able to see him return with her own eyes, she was still worried.
This also resulted in Ye Wanxi not being affected after several months of this ordeal; in fact, she lost weight.
"We're fine, we just helped out and did logistics. It's mainly the medical staff who did the work."
As Ye Wanxi spoke, she turned her head and saw Qi Yingxuan standing at the entrance of the passage, stretching comfortably. Then, his eyes reddened slightly, and he stared longingly at the private jet not far away, looking as if he wanted to snatch it home.
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow and teased, "Fifth Senior Brother, are you crying? Are you crying from being moved? Or from feeling jealous?"
"Pah, pah, pah, who's crying? I'm just happy, so happy!" Qi Yingxuan said, letting out a long breath, feeling lightheaded. "It's so good to be alive, so good to be back, so good to be on an airplane."
Most importantly, it's so great not to have to work!
"I will never complain about slow planes again. It's so much better when the plane is slow, and I can enjoy the scenery along the way."
Qi Yingxuan felt that he had developed a stress response to teleportation arrays. Now, just hearing the words made him feel nauseous, like he was getting carsick.
He probably never wants to use this thing again in his life unless it's absolutely necessary.
Gao Min and the other two might not have understood the hidden sorrow in Qi Yingxuan's words, but Ye Wanxi and the others immediately understood and burst into laughter.
Qi Yingxuan glared at them angrily, then walked away sullenly.
Once everyone had finished laughing, Ye Wanxi looked at Guan Xuan, who had already walked up to Feng Tianyu and was rushing to report to him, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Guan, where are Yi Huan and Auntie? Why didn't I see them come with us?"
Guan Xuan cleared his throat in a serious tone and explained, "Madam and Miss Ye had been staying abroad due to visa issues. They originally planned to come back early to pick up Boss and Miss Ye. Unexpectedly, Miss Ye and Boss Ye returned earlier than expected. Madam and Miss Ye are still in quarantine and cannot come out for the time being, so I have to pick them up and drop them off."
Ye Wanxi: "..." Fine!
"Alright, alright, it's good enough that someone came to pick us up. Unlike us, who are all alone, we don't even have anyone to pick us up from the airport. It's so pitiful."
As Qi Yingxuan spoke, he tried to flirt with Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin coldly slapped him aside, leaving Qi Yingxuan feeling dejected.
Feng Tianyu clearly already knew about the two's situation beforehand, and said with a faint smile, "Let's get together after they finish their quarantine."
"Hmm." After asking Feng Tianyu and Guan Xuan about Du Yihuan's situation, Ye Wanxi brought the topic back to business. "How's the company doing lately? Have those breach of contract notices and endorsements been resolved? Did you lose a lot of money? I've been busy with other things these past few months, causing you a lot of trouble, Sister Gao."
"I'm your agent, so it's only right that I help you out. Besides, this is an unexpected situation, and anyone would have to stay. It's perfectly reasonable. We didn't have to pay much in breach of contract fees, but we didn't speak very well at the beginning. We were the ones who suddenly backed out, so we were in the wrong and were bound to be accused of being arrogant."
"But later, the official account of Y Province personally came forward to refute the rumors and explain the situation. The criticism turned into praise, so there's no need to worry about public opinion in this regard. After this incident, many partners who had terminated their contracts with us came back, hoping to continue cooperating, but I politely declined them all. However, there are a few that hadn't terminated their contracts and have been waiting for us."
"There are still some who haven't terminated their contracts and are waiting for me?" Ye Wanxi looked surprised. Several months had already passed, yet they were still willing to wait for her.
Gao Min chuckled: "You're a famous live-streaming sales expert now, the number one celebrity in terms of sales volume. Countless companies want you to be their spokesperson and promote their products. What's wrong with waiting a few months? Some companies are waiting but haven't even had a chance yet."
"A top-selling influencer? Me?" Ye Wanxi was stunned. How come she had so many new personas she didn't even know existed after only a few months?
Gao Min smiled faintly as she recounted how she had been criticized for being arrogant because she couldn't return from her location due to the pandemic and had to terminate contracts with her business partners. She was also criticized by netizens for exploiting her online popularity to make a fortune, and now that the country was facing such a major crisis as the pandemic, she wasn't donating a single penny, which was considered stingy and selfish.
As a result, a large number of official charity accounts came forward to vouch for her, and netizens dug up all the details of her previous surreptitious donations.
To comfort her, who had suffered a great injustice, and to take the opportunity to retaliate against those who were criticizing her online and her competitors, her fans and even some casual supporters bought out all the products she had previously endorsed. Even the game she endorsed almost crashed during those days due to the excessive amount of money being spent on in-game purchases.
Ye Wanxi: "..." Impulsive spending is a no-no!
Qi Yingxuan and the others, who had overheard the whole thing, were speechless. As long as their junior sister's lucky charm persona remained intact, if the brands that hired her to endorse their products didn't make money, who would?
"So, in the eyes of our business partners, you're a goldmine that's guaranteed to bring in money. Whoever gets your endorsement deal is just one step away from getting revenge. Do you think they won't wait for you patiently?"
At this point, Gao Min glanced subtly at Xiang Yueqi, who was following behind Ye Wanxi, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of this matter, we probably have to thank one more person."
Who is it?
Gao Min stopped and stared intently at Xiang Yueqi, saying with a half-smile, "Someone related to President Xiang."
