Chapter 387 The cover model is Ruan Qi! (Update 1)
Brother Chen felt a little regretful that he was unable to establish a relationship with Ruan Qi.
He glanced twice in the direction where Ruan Qi left, and was about to look away when Yao Xue behind him grabbed his arm anxiously.
"Can you tell me now? Who stole my chance?"
Faced with Yao Xue's questioning, Brother Chen couldn't help but feel a headache.
He didn't want to be watched in the busy lobby, so he grabbed Yao Xue's wrist and dragged her to the corner.
"Can you calm down for a moment?" He frowned and said to Yao Xue, "The cover model for the next issue of 'Xin Yin' hasn't been decided yet. Anyone could have been chosen. This opportunity doesn't belong to you alone. You said that they stole your opportunity. Isn't that a bit overbearing?"
Yao Xue's face suddenly turned dark.
"I'm domineering? Didn't you promise me this opportunity? We were talking just now, and you said you would definitely help me get this opportunity. Why are you calling me domineering now?!"
"I'm just saying I'll try my best to get you a spot." Brother Chen's face wasn't looking too good either, but he still tried to explain patiently, "The final decision on the magazine cover rests with the editor-in-chief. I can only try my best to help you, but I can't guarantee you a spot. Don't be too disappointed. If there's no next issue, we still have the next one. And even if I can't get you a cover model, I can still get you an inside page."
As a well-known comprehensive magazine in China, Xinyin's insider columns are not easy to get. In the entertainment industry, those who can get insider columns must be popular artists at least in the second tier.
As a tainted artist with a lot of negative news and a hard time making a comeback, it was really great that Brother Chen was able to get Yao Xue an inside page.
However, Yao Xue did not appreciate this favor.
She has been under Shen Wenqian's supervision since her debut. Although Shen Wenqian did not give her resources such as leading female roles and top magazines, Yao Xue has never lacked the top resources that a second-tier popular actress should have.
Shen Wenqian spoiled her appetite and temper, and she naturally felt that she deserved the best and that everyone in the world should put her first.
So, when Brother Chen tried to get her the inside pages of "Heart Sound", she really didn't think much of it.
Shen Wenqian was able to secure countless magazine resources for her. Although they were not top-notch, they were still pretty good.
So, why can't Brother Chen do what Shen Wenqian can do?
Yao Xue's face suddenly became gloomy.
"I don't want the inside pages! I want the cover! And I want the next issue only!"
Yao Xue had just appeared on the same variety show as Ruan Qi's "Blade" cast two weeks ago, and the buzz is still there. If she can become the cover model for the next issue of "Heart Sound," she will definitely use this buzz to successfully make a comeback.
But if she is the cover model of the next issue, her popularity will be long gone by then, and the effect of her comeback will definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Yao Xue was eager to be the cover model for the next issue. Because of her eagerness, her tone when talking to Brother Chen was also a bit bossy.
This time, Brother Chen was completely unhappy.
He and Yao Xue had no relationship at all, and he was willing to give her resources because she was willing to sacrifice herself.
But so far, all he has tasted is a kiss and a touch. Such a small profit is not worth it for Brother Chen to suffer so much from Yao Xue.
Then, his expression turned completely cold.
"I can only guarantee you the inside pages of 'Xin Yin'. If you want the cover, go find the editor yourself!"
"Go find him!" Yao Xue was also aroused with anger. "Isn't it just the editor-in-chief? I'll call Mr. Dong right now! I don't believe that a crappy magazine would dare to ignore Fengyu Group's face!"
Brother Chen was completely enraged by the words "crappy magazine".
He couldn't help but let out a "ha" sound, pinching his waist and saying to Yao Xue with a mocking look, "Fengyu Group? Do you think Fengyu Group is omnipotent? Don't even mention that Dong Qicheng is just Dong Wei's youngest son. Even if he is Dong Wei himself, the cover of the next issue can't be changed!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yao Xue said in disbelief, "The Dong family is a wealthy family!"
"So what?" Brother Chen sneered. "There are so many wealthy families in the capital. The Dong family can't even make the top ten. Besides, the cover model for the next issue is officially designated! Not to mention Dong Qicheng, even the Dong family's ancestors couldn't change it!"
Yao Xue's eyes suddenly widened.
"Officially decided?!"
"Yes, it's officially decided." Brother Chen said in a cold tone, "You know 'Blade', right? It's a military drama produced by the country at great expense this year, and it will be broadcast on CTS in a few days. Now all major media outlets are scrambling to get the right to interview this drama, and our editor-in-chief finally got the opportunity. The editor-in-chief has already said that the next issue of 'Heart Sound' will have the entire feature, cover, and inside pages assigned to 'Blade' and Ruan Qi. This is an officially produced drama, do you think the small Dong family can shake it up?"
After hearing these words, Yao Xue's face turned ashen.
It turned out to be Ruan Qi!
The person who stole her cover model spot turned out to be Ruan Qi!
Yao Xue's jealousy instantly burned like a raging fire. Then, she thought of what she had said to Ruan Qi in the elevator, and her face felt like she had been slapped in the face, burning with pain.
The editor-in-chief of "Xinyin" had clearly given the cover to Ruan Qi, but Ruan Qi actually pretended to be stupid in front of her in the elevator just now!
Ruan Qi must have done it on purpose!
She is deliberately making fun of herself!
Yao Xue's face was horrified with anger. Brother Chen was startled by her reaction and quickly warned her coldly, "You'd better not do anything to Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi has a wide network of contacts in the industry; even Feng Qin from Bluestone Entertainment is her friend. You know the Feng family, right? Their status in the imperial capital is much higher than the Dong family's. If you anger Ruan Qi, be careful she might ask Feng Qin to deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Xue sneered inwardly.
Feng Qin was the only heir to the Feng family, a renowned bachelor in the capital. How could such a high-ranking person truly be friends with Ruan Qi?
It's nothing more than media hype.
Yao Xue ignored Brother Chen's warning and began to think about how to take revenge on Ruan Qi.
On the other side, inside the black Maybach.
"Cover model?" Ruan Qi asked Shen Wenqian in surprise while holding her phone. "The editor-in-chief of 'Xin Yin' asked me to be the cover model?"
"Yes," Shen Wenqian's voice came from the receiver, "'Blade' is about to be released, and the editor-in-chief of 'Heart Sound' also wants to take advantage of the popularity. We'll use a still of you on the set for the cover photo. I just contacted Director Jian, and he agreed."
When Ruan Qi heard this and thought of what Yao Xue had said to her in the elevator just now, she immediately covered her face in pain.
"...Brother Chen," she said slowly, "I think Yao Xue wants to kill me now."
