Chapter 67: It's tough being a model, even choosing models isn't an easy job!
When Xu Ruixuan said this, his eyes were almost glued to Gu Mingxia.
Liang Yuhao, standing to the side, was secretly gloating. He thought to himself, "Xiao Yan has been using me as free labor all day long. Now your crisis has arrived. See? This perverted guy is clearly very interested in your woman!"
However, to be honest, this guy is incredibly handsome, has a great physique, and even exudes a refined and aloof air. Tsk tsk, I hadn't even noticed it until now, and now that I'm starting to admire him, Liang Yuhao feels like he's about to drool!
If he were a woman, he would probably choose a man like Xu Ruixuan nine times out of ten! It's not that Xiao Yan is bad, it's just that the cold indifference that Xiao Yan exudes is nowhere near as captivating as the profound elegance of the guy in front of him.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, we will definitely select the most suitable model according to your requirements!"
Gu Mingxia smiled as she wrote down Xu Ruixuan's requirements on the computer. It was clear that he had excluded Zi Xi from his list of demands. And rightly so, that girl was just a high-and-mighty goddess artificially packaged by her agency; in reality, she was just a willful and immature young girl!
"Um."
Xu Ruixuan responded to Gu Mingxia's words with a single word. Liang Yuhao was just writing numbers casually with a pen. He was the financial director of Maoguang, and he was only there to evaluate the budget. To be honest, he was very bored here!
Aside from observing Xu Ruixuan's enthusiastic gaze fixed on Gu Mingxia, there was nothing else he wanted to chime in about.
"Does Mr. Xu have any good recommendations for the models this time?"
Gu Mingxia stopped typing and looked elegantly at Xu Ruixuan across from her. She didn't actually find this man as terrifying as the industry rumors suggested; he was just an artist who strived for perfection in his work and demanded meticulous attention to detail!
She felt that anyone involved in art had a serious perfectionist complex, and if there was even the slightest discrepancy between the image and the perfect one in their mind, it had to be scrapped and redone!
"You! I think you're perfect for our advertising theme this time!"
Xu Ruixuan's gaze remained fixed on Gu Mingxia. He calmly uttered these words. In fact, from the moment Gu Mingxia entered the conference room, Xu Ruixuan's eyes lit up. Gu Mingxia was simply the most perfect female lead in the advertisement in his mind.
She embodies a perfect blend of elegance and intellect. Only someone truly born into a top-tier wealthy family could cultivate such an innate elegance. While Gu Mingxia is beautiful, she isn't flamboyant. Her features are stunning yet pleasing to the eye. The longer you look at her, the more you realize that comfort is intellect—a gentle and refined intellectual aura. This is rare in both the modeling and entertainment industries!
Moreover, she was young and came from a noble family, perfectly fitting the advertising message of a L'Oréal campaign. Xu Ruixuan truly felt that there was no one more suitable than her!
"Mr. Xu, you must be joking. I'm just a lowly president's assistant. How could I possibly be a model in your advertisement?"
Gu Mingxia closed her laptop and smiled as she declined Xu Ruixuan's suggestion. She didn't want to appear in gossip magazines again; living a peaceful life was just fine!
Furthermore, she wanted to investigate her mother's cause of death, so she didn't want to do the time-consuming and laborious advertising shoot!
"What, are you that insecure? Do you think you're inferior to those celebrities and models?"
Xu Ruixuan leaned back in his chair and uttered those words casually, yet his words carried a powerful aura. Liang Yuhao, standing to the side, was involuntarily drawn to him.
On the contrary, Gu Mingxia simply smiled and shook her head. Strangely, under Xu Ruixuan's powerful aura, her own aura not only did not weaken, but also showed a tendency to strengthen, with a queenly aura emanating from her body.
"Is Mr. Xu trying to provoke me? Too bad, it won't work on me!"
Gu Mingxia picked up her coffee and took a small sip. Although she had a smile on her face, Xu Ruixuan could see clearly that her smile couldn't reach her eyes or her heart. The smile on her face was just a disguise for social occasions!
He wasn't using any reverse psychology; he genuinely felt that his advertisement would lose a lot of its luster without Gu Mingxia! Before meeting Gu Mingxia today, he was still mentally debating which celebrity to hire as the model for the advertisement, but when Gu Mingxia appeared before him, Xu Ruixuan felt that his advertisement was tailor-made for her!
“Ms. Gu, I’m serious! Without you, this advertisement would have completely lost its luster. Only you can make this advertisement shine with its full potential!”
Xu Ruixuan leaned down, looking at Gu Mingxia with a serious yet forceful gaze. But Gu Mingxia simply looked up, smiling as she met Xu Ruixuan's cold and stubborn eyes.
"Mr. Xu, I'm not interested in being an advertising model. But don't worry, I will definitely find a model who perfectly matches the theme of this advertisement, according to your requirements!"
Hearing Gu Mingxia say this, Xu Ruixuan merely raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor refusing! This time, the advertising model had to be Gu Mingxia; he would always find a way to get her to agree to be the model!
"Since Mr. Xu isn't saying anything, let's talk about the budget for this advertisement!"
"The budget for this advertising campaign is fifty million! But we'll be shooting three commercials!"
Fifty million for three commercials? Is this guy drunk?
On average, each advertisement would only cost less than 17 million, which is simply impossible to produce, okay? Think about the last advertisement, Zi Xi alone took 12 million in remuneration. These three advertisements alone cost 36 million in remuneration!
Liang Yuhao looked at Xu Ruixuan in disbelief, his resentful gaze almost tearing him apart.
"Mr. Xu, do you know that last time Zixi shot an advertisement, she took away 12 million? This time you want us to shoot three advertisements for you, but you only gave us a budget of 50 million. Even if you don't let Maoguang make money, we are not stupid enough to pay you to shoot advertisements!"
This is absolutely ridiculous! Liang Yuhao really wanted to throw this guy off the 56th floor of Maoguang Building! Wanting good advertising but also wanting to save money? This is simply unacceptable!
"Ms. Gu, I believe you can come up with a perfect advertising idea for me!"
Xu Ruixuan stood up without even glancing at Liang Yuhao again, which made Liang Yuhao feel very hurt. He was, after all, the vice president of this company. Was it really okay to ignore him like this?
Hmph, if you ignore me, I'll go and tattle on you to Xiao Yan. Liang Yuhao had already started imagining the scene of Xu Ruixuan and Xiao Yan clashing. He couldn't help but laugh out loud in the conference room.
"Yu Hao, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Mingxia, who had returned to get her notebook after seeing Xu Ruixuan off, couldn't help but ask when she saw Liang Yuhao laughing so hard he was almost crying.
"No, it's nothing!"
This guy is weird! I'm having such bad luck today, running into some weird people! One wants her to shoot an ad, and another is laughing for no reason. Gu Mingxia shook her head and took her laptop to a small meeting room to start brainstorming ideas for the ad.
Liang Yuhao glanced at the closed door of the small conference room and immediately ran to Xiao Yan's president's office.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, I've discovered something very serious, and it concerns your and your sister-in-law's future happiness. How about it, do you want to hear it?"
Xiao Yan was looking at the contract sent by L'Oréal in his email, pointing to the open office door without even looking up.
"go out!"
"Fine, since you don't want to hear it, then it'll be too late for you to regret it once your sister-in-law is snatched away by someone else!"
Liang Yuhao put down the documents about L'Oréal and walked out muttering to himself.
"Come back and explain yourself!"
Upon hearing that Gu Mingxia was about to be chased away, Xiao Yan looked up and called out to Liang Yuhao.
"Xiao Yan, you really missed a good show by not going to the conference room. You have no idea, Xu Ruixuan's eyes were practically glued to his sister-in-law. I think if he could, he would wish he could grow his eyes on her!"
"oh?"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was interested, and remembering how Xu Ruixuan had ignored him, Liang Yuhao started rambling on and on.
"And another thing, Xu Ruixuan specifically asked for my sister-in-law to be the model for this advertisement. You know, his advertisements are always very popular. If he wasn't interested in my sister-in-law, why would he choose to use my sister-in-law, who has no fame, instead of using so many big stars and high-end models?"
Liang Yuhao, who thought himself very clever, began to fill in the blanks with his imagination and didn't forget to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder to show his sympathy.
"Xiao Yan, don't say I didn't warn you! Xu Ruixuan has a nickname: 'Celebrity Killer.' Every female celebrity who works with him has been rumored to be involved with him. In my opinion, it's still uncertain whether your future sister-in-law will actually be my sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yan glared at him fiercely, then continued reading her emails.
"Yu Hao, if you have plenty of free time, why don't you go to the art academy and select a few models for Xu Ruixuan according to his requirements? I think... you would be very happy with this kind of work!"
Art Academy! Liang Yuhao felt a headache coming on just thinking about his second sister, Liang Fan, who taught there. She was just as enthusiastic about arranging blind dates for him as his mother!
"I...I was wrong! I was wrong! Please don't make me go to art school!"
"You know you were wrong?" Xiao Yan looked up at Liang Yuhao, who was nodding repeatedly, and suddenly smiled. "Too bad, it's too late. Hurry up and go find the model Xu Ruixuan wants. If you really can't find one, then you'd better pack your things and go back to your Liang family for a blind date!"
