Ma Weimin stared at Cai Minmin for a long time, but did not respond to her words.
Although he was the one who made Cai Minmin famous, in terms of appearance, Cai Minmin can only be considered a high-quality imitation of Bai Qianmo.
In terms of popularity, Bai Qianmo has two hit dramas under her belt, and she also produced the critically acclaimed TV series "Ten Deadly Sins".
Meanwhile, her film "The Legend of 1900" is also expected to be nominated for the newcomer award at major awards such as the Huading Awards and the Golden Deer Awards.
Judging from her online popularity, although Bai Qianmo was previously embroiled in scandals, anything related to her can easily trend on social media, making her a true queen of trending topics.
She also has a special aura; many clothes she wears become street style and online bestsellers.
Therefore, many businesses have long recognized her potential commercial value, and many domestic brands have invited her to be their spokesperson, which has propelled her from an obscure brand to a sales volume comparable to top-tier brands like Pinmei within just six months.
Putting aside everything else, the Hanfu produced by the currently most popular "Xiuzhuang" has become the most beautiful ancient costume in the Hanfu circle because Bai Qianmo was the spokesperson. Her red silk dress, which resembled Nie Wuxin's, was stunning and unparalleled.
Based on these data, Cai Minmin is no match for Bai Qianmo in any way.
If Mu Qing hadn't snatched this endorsement away, it would have originally belonged to Bai Qianmo.
However, even though he understood this, he wouldn't let others get away with it.
“Minmin, you’re absolutely right. Bai Qianmo really can’t compare to you. With your potential, you’ll become a top-tier actress in the country sooner or later. It’s their loss that Ai Fu didn’t choose us.”
Sister Lin quickly chimed in, "Hmph, it's because the higher-ups at Ave are too stupid. They'll regret missing out on our Minmin. Minmin, don't be angry. There are plenty of better resources waiting for you in the future."
"I can't swallow this insult. Even if I can't get this endorsement, I absolutely can't let Bai Qianmo benefit from it." A hint of hatred flashed in Cai Minmin's eyes.
afternoon
Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan went to Aifu together and met with the marketing director of Aifu's headquarters.
A sophisticated blonde woman in her forties.
The other party didn't engage in the usual Chinese pleasantries and stated their purpose directly upon meeting.
"We would like to invite Ms. Bai Qianmo to be the spokesperson for our new Miracle Water series launched this year under our brand, Ave. Here is the contract. Please take a look at it first. If you have any different opinions, we can discuss them here."
The woman sat down and placed a contract on the table.
Su Peishan picked up the contract and flipped through it for a while, confirming that all the main terms met her expectations, and smiled with satisfaction.
"There are no problems with the contract, Ms. Paison. I hope we can have a pleasant working relationship with Eve."
"In half an hour, the official website of Aifu will announce the spokesperson for the Miracle Water series. Ms. Bai will come to the company tomorrow afternoon to shoot an advertising video."
"Okay, no problem."
After reaching an agreement, the two parties signed the agreement on the spot.
With Su Peishan around, Bai Qianmo didn't have to worry about signing contracts.
Once the contract is signed, each party (Party A and Party B) shall keep a copy.
As he was leaving, Peisen suddenly called out to Bai Qianmo.
"Miss Bai."
She smiled and walked towards Bai Qianmo.
"Mr. Tebus returned to the United States yesterday. Before he left, he asked me to pass on a message to you: thank you for the artwork you gave him. He likes it very much and will take good care of it. In return, you will be the spokesperson for our Aifu Miracle Water series in the Yatai region for the next five years."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Qianmo was slightly surprised.
She looked at Su Peishan.
Su Peishan hurriedly flipped through the contract and carefully checked it.
"The contract states a one-year term."
Paison smiled and said, "This contract is based on Miss Bai's own value. According to our Eve's rules, the invited spokespersons will only sign a one-year contract. A five-year contract will be offered to you in a while."
Bai Qianmo understood; Tebus was a boss who clearly separated public and private matters.
This contract is a normal one, which also proves that Ave has good judgment in choosing its spokesperson.
That five-year contract was Tebus's way of giving back for the painting "Orchid".
However, there was one thing that she couldn't understand.
Although she presented the work as a gift in her capacity as Ye Bai's apprentice, Bai Qianmo was still a relatively unknown figure in the art world. Could one of her paintings really be exchanged for a five-year contract with Ai Fu?
Thinking about it this way, it seems like Tebus lost a lot of money, right?
Just as he was wondering, Pace suddenly thought of something.
He instructed his secretary, "Bring me that yellow envelope from my drawer."
"yes!"
The secretary walked to the desk and took a sealed envelope from the drawer.
Persson reached out and took it, then looked at Bai Qianmo sitting opposite him.
“Miss Bai, this is a letter left for you by Mr. Tebus.”
Bai Qianmo took the envelope and immediately opened it.
After seeing the above, everything became clear.
Mr. Night White
It's a pleasure to meet you in person. Right now, you must be wondering why I'm calling you that, right? Hehe, to be honest, when I was lying in bed tossing and turning, I didn't dare to associate you with Ye Bai.
I originally thought that Ye Bai would be a decrepit old man like me, but the truth was quite shocking.
It was Tang Lao's words that enlightened me. He said that the painting "Orchid" that you gave me was priceless. At the time, I was puzzled. After returning home, I spent the whole night looking at the painting and gradually discovered that the painting was exactly the same as Ye Bai's previous works, both in terms of the way the lines were drawn and the color blending. Even if it was a master-disciple relationship, there should be subtle differences.
But this painting is exactly the same. I'm not sure if I'm making a bold guess, but Old Tang's words keep echoing in my mind.
As Ye Bai's disciple, although he deliberately tried to quickly make a name for himself in the art world, there's a saying among Chinese people: "The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you." Even if he is Ye Bai's disciple, whether he can become famous for all time depends on his own cultivation. So how could this painting be priceless?
Unless, the person who painted this is no ordinary person.
Suddenly I understood! Haha, my previous preconceived notions had stifled my active thinking. Why must Ye Bai be a gray-haired, pot-bellied old man?
The world is never short of geniuses, so he can also be only twenty years old.
Finally, although we are quite different in age—I am about the same age as your grandfather—I would prefer to get to know you as a friend. I hope that when we meet again, I can hear you tell me your own identity.
Pen in hand, Tebus.
