The short 40-second advertisement seemed to carry a rich fragrance of roses.
The man, dressed in a white sacrificial robe embroidered with gold thread, lay back in a rocking chair with his eyes closed, his hands devoutly holding a thorny root without petals, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
The scene froze, and the eight-character slogan appeared above the screen: "Enjoy love, never forget your original intention."
This is the meaning behind AandD's new perfume.
Below is a row of small gold text: "Officially going on sale at midnight on October 18th, limited to 1000 units nationwide, stay tuned."
Sally quickly retweeted the Weibo post that tagged Rong Yu, adding the caption: "So good!"
Because Rong Yu was still in seclusion training for her debut and couldn't reply personally, her team had to handle the public relations. Sally had obviously already finished negotiating with Tony, and as soon as AandD released the advertisement trailer, Sally forwarded it.
It has to be said that Rong Yu's appearance is extremely handsome. Even with silver and gold stripes painted on his face, it cannot hide his handsome features. Instead, it adds a touch of nobility and mystery.
He seems to be a natural-born darling of the camera, effortlessly pulling off various looks.
“He’s going to be a huge star. I bet with my years of experience that he’ll become a cash cow for the world,” Sally said over the phone.
A few months ago, Yin Chengjue would have agreed with Sally without hesitation. But now, he couldn't help but frown. He wanted to retort, "I don't actually want him to be an object of equal value to money. He's not an object; he's an outstanding person."
But the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
As the president of Huanyu, it seems rather insincere for him to say something like that.
Sally was instructed to keep an eye on the online activity. Yin Chengjue logged into his Weibo account and reposted the advertisement, adding the caption: "Pre-ordered."
There was a knock on the office door three times, and Yin Chengjue said, "Come in."
Assistant Guan walked in, his expression somewhat complicated: "President Yin, do you still remember that trainee named Fei Zhengqi?"
"Hmm?" Yin Chengjue looked up: "What's wrong with him?"
Assistant Guan: "Didn't he get exposed for some dirty secrets that time? So he temporarily withdrew from the recording of 'Brother's Debut'. Logically speaking, he should have been blacklisted. But just now, I received an email with his name on it."
"What's in the email?" This was what Yin Chengjue was most concerned about. No one visits a temple without a reason; if it weren't an important document, Fei Zhengqi wouldn't have sent it, and Assistant Guan wouldn't have come all this way to tell him.
"It's...it's Qi's Pharmaceutical's purchase order for this year. It details several substandard drugs, and these illegal drugs are being sold privately in Qi's Pharmaceutical's pharmacies." Assistant Guan adjusted his glasses, his expression very serious. "President Yin, I feel this matter is not so simple; it might be a trap."
Yin Chengjue pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "No, it's actually very simple. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. If a person is pushed to the limit, what won't they do? If we really want to find a reason, we can only blame Young Master Qi for his poor judgment and underestimating others."
Assistant Guan was still a little confused.
Qi Ershao and Fei Zhengqi had a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship. Now that Fei Zhengqi had exposed the dirty secrets of the Qi family to them, how could Qi Ershao possibly let him off the hook? Moreover, this would be extremely detrimental to Fei Zhengqi's future!
Wait a minute! Fei Zhengqi's past has been exposed, and now she has temporarily withdrawn from the recording of "Brother's Debut," so her future was already bleak.
Assistant Guan suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "President Yin, do you mean... that the exposure of Fei Zhengqi's dirty secrets was the work of the Second Young Master Qi? Fei Zhengqi felt his career was in jeopardy, so he simply went all out and sent the dirty secrets he had collected about the Qi family to his other rivals?"
Yin Chengjue nodded slightly: "That's why I said that Young Master Qi is not as smart as his father, and he can't see through the methods of the people around him."
Assistant Guan read through the documents sent by Fei Zhengqi and quickly replied to Fei Zhengqi, asking if he could come out for a face-to-face meeting.
Fei Zhengqi was probably also very anxious. Not long after Yin Chengjue replied to the email, Fei Zhengqi immediately sent an address and a time to meet.
In just a few days, Fei Zhengqi, who looked glamorous on TV, has really changed a lot.
Yin Chengjue's memory of him was still that of the scene where he and Rong Yu performed a song and dance, a story about a scholar and a male dan (female impersonator), and he vividly remembered his scholar's long robe and mandarin jacket.
After that, Fei Zhengqi and Ming Qian became a couple and often appeared together on the show, so Yin Chengjue paid less attention to them.
Fei Zhengqi's performance on the show was not lively, even too dull. Because he didn't take the initiative to communicate with others, he seemed a bit difficult to get along with. This is why Ming Qian took the initiative to approach him, and when he responded slightly to Ming Qian's gentle offensive, it made many CP fans scream.
Compared to many handsome men, his looks can only be considered slightly above average. Fans call him the Melancholy Prince and enjoy looking for the slightest glimmer of light in his gloomy face. They can scream with joy whenever they find even the slightest change in his expression.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that fans like him. Once some negative news appears, making fans feel tired and no longer love him, the little joys they once had in trying to find the shining points in him can easily be completely negated, and then they will unfollow and turn against him.
This is also the reason why Fei Zhengqi lost so many followers this time.
Now, Fei Zhengqi is sitting in front of Yin Chengjue, wearing a black baseball cap, a blue medical mask, and simple casual clothes. There is a cup of tea next to her, and the steam in the teacup slowly rises and dissipates into the air.
Fei Zhengqi's gaze was fixed on the wisp of steaming heat, as if she had begun to drift off into her own thoughts.
Yin Chengjue tapped on the table.
Fei Zhengqi's eyes flickered before she looked at Yin Chengjue.
“I don’t have time to watch you stand here in a daze,” Yin Chengjue said.
Fei Zhengqi nodded, his eyes, though hidden by his mask, were filled with exhaustion. He said, "I have something here that might interest you, but I have a condition for it."
Fei Zhengqi's fingertips rested on the teacup, unconsciously stroking it, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse: "Five million, transfer it to this account."
Fei Zhengqi took a card out of her pocket and pushed it in front of Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue remained unmoved, looking at him with a detached expression.
Seeing that Yin Chengjue did not answer, Fei Zhengqi did not back down, but continued, "What you will definitely be interested in is about your father, Feng Chengda."
Yin Chengjue frowned slightly: "I'm not interested in his affairs." Besides, Feng Chengda is still lying in the hospital; what trouble could he possibly cause?
Fei Zhengqi said, "You'll be interested. I saw his lawyer go to see Qi Yangtian."
Qi Yangtian, also known as Qi Ershao's father, is the CEO of Qi's Pharmaceutical.
"You seem to know a lot about the Qi family's internal affairs. Does Qi Er like you a lot? He takes you everywhere he goes?" Yin Chengjue probed.
A hint of mockery flashed in Fei Zhengqi's eyes, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be self-mockery.
“In their spoiled, dissolute minds, there’s no such thing as liking or disliking; it’s all just playing around. They play one after another without ever stopping.” Fei Zhengqi lowered her eyes, her fingertips digging into the patterns on the teacup. “Anyway, all you need to know is that I do know quite a lot. Feng Chengda and Qi Yangtian have reached some kind of agreement, and I know a little bit about the details of that agreement.”
Fei Zhengqi said, "Five million. That's all I ask for. Then I'll tell you what they're plotting, and our deal will be done. We can pretend we didn't know about today's meeting."
Yin Chengjue couldn't help but chuckle: "You think I'm so easy to fool? You think I'll willingly hand over my money with just a vague answer? Kid, my money isn't so easy to earn, besides..."
Yin Chengjue paused for a moment before saying, "I know how much trouble Feng Chengda can stir up now."
“DNA testing.” Fei Zhengqi looked at Yin Chengjue and said, “Feng Chengda’s lawyer secretly asked Qi Yangtian to do DNA testing. They want to test whether you are Feng Chengda’s son.”
Yin Chengjue finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Fei Zhengqi: "..."?
It took Yin Chengjue a long time to recover from his laughter. He said, "So what's the result? Am I or am I? To be honest, I'm actually hoping I'm not. I really don't want to have anything to do with that old man."
Fei Zhengqi clearly didn't understand Yin Chengjue's thought process: "Aren't you afraid they'll spread rumors that your mother is unfaithful?"
Yin Chengjue sneered, "What are you afraid of? He's already cheated on his wife and has a son with someone else. Do you expect my mother to be a dutiful wife? No matter what the DNA test results are, it won't change the fact that Feng Chengda had a son outside of marriage."
Yin Chengjue stood up and straightened his clothes and cuffs: "If you asked me out just to say this, then I'm sorry, I really have no interest."
Fei Zhengqi clenched her fists, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
Seeing Yin Chengjue turn to leave, Fei Zhengqi quickly said, "Wait! Do you know that Qi Le wants to get plastic surgery on Yu?"
Qi Le was the name of the second young master of the Qi family. Yin Chengjue paused, raising an eyebrow slightly: "What?"
Fei Zhengqi seemed eager to get the money. Seeing that Yin Chengjue had shown some interest, he immediately said, "Mr. Yin, do you know Liu Huan? He's quite famous and has a following. Recently, he's caught Qi Le's eye, and he's become increasingly arrogant."
Fei Zhengqi, who rarely speaks, seemed to have said everything he had to say today. His eyes were filled with urgency, as if he had already made a desperate gamble. He was willing to say anything as long as Yin Chengjue was willing to make this information deal.
“He went to an audition that day, and when he got back, he told Qi Le that he didn’t like Rong Yu and begged Qi Le to teach Rong Yu a lesson.” Fei Zhengqi said, “President Yin, Rong Yu is an artist in your company, right?”
