Chapter 39 As long as you change the content frequently, you don't have to worry about a bad ending...
The brand's investigation revealed that a Chinese female celebrity revealed the lipstick shade she wore on the runway during a variety show live broadcast, which sparked a buying frenzy among fans.
The senior executives of the established cosmetics company breathed a sigh of relief and immediately held an internal meeting to discuss whether to change the spokesperson for the Asian region.
"The sales performance of matte lip gloss No. 11 dropped by 30% in the past three years. We originally planned to cut this production line in the first quarter of next year and switch to the best-selling gold powder lip gloss No. 88."
“However, the pre-orders placed ten minutes ago have already depleted the raw material inventory of manufacturers in the Asian region, so I support changing the spokesperson.”
The sales director in charge of the Asia region presented the newly released sales figures to the senior management.
Of course, changing a spokesperson is no small matter, nor is it something that can be decided in two or three days, but it allowed Jiang Mingyue to successfully catch the eye of the higher-ups.
Jiang Mingyue did not expect that her casual remark would have a life-saving effect on A brand's matte lipstick No. 11, and even steal someone else's market share.
Even knowing this, she was fearless; facts speak louder than words.
Eagle-eyed viewers in the live stream finally noticed that the movie star and his entourage had spent a fortune on a yacht, much to the delight of one group and the disappointment of another.
[A group of award-winning actors with deep pockets]
Uncle Long's group is still cutting grass and feeding cattle on the farm to earn travel expenses.
[Brother Qi asked me to come and ask, are you really not going to help them?]
[Program Production Team: Cheating is Strictly Prohibited]
Chartering a boat is also a good option, as it won't disturb other tourists.
During the off-season for tourism, there are very few tourist boats floating on the sea.
Don Juan and Meng Qinzhou were called away by the production team for an interview, while Jiang Mingyue turned the live stream camera on the sea scenery, leaving the netizens to their own devices.
"You guys enjoy the scenery yourselves, I'm going to take a nap."
[Sister Jiang is awesome!]
I miss Wei Ge's nagging, Ji Ge's jokes, and Xiao Meng's politeness.
[Quickly, someone cover Sister Jiang with a blanket, don't let her get cold!]
Netizens didn't dare to complain, after all, they could still see the beautiful sea view.
After seeing the netizens' reminder, the production crew actually found a blanket and carefully covered Teacher Jiang with it.
Jiang Mingyue didn't even open her eyes before saying thank you.
The staff member whispered a "You're welcome" and tiptoed away.
The fifty-minute boat ride passed in a flash, and everyone disembarked, where ten sightseeing vehicles were already waiting.
The tour bus is emblazoned with the huge G Family Hotel logo, which is the century-old hotel that Renato Weld invested in and acquired.
Don Juan and his five companions traveled in one vehicle, while their luggage was on another tour bus.
Meng Qinzhou sat in the empty seat next to the tour bus driver, Wei Lai and Ji Wenxuan sat in the middle, Tang Huang and Jiang Mingyue sat in the third row, and the two assistants sat in the last row.
Viewers in the live stream finally realized something was wrong. This wasn't just about spending money to charter a boat; it was clearly a tour group that had booked the entire trip. Otherwise, why would they have even prepared tour buses for them?
[It doesn't look like a group tour; it looks more like some foolish, rich fans throwing money at a poll.]
Didn't you see the two elite gentlemen sitting in the last row? They have the air of someone who would work for a big shot.
Is it possible that a wealthy businessman sponsored the entire island trip for the five award-winning actors?
Don't rush, let's take our time.
[Hehehe, the Best Actor and Sister Jiang are sitting together!]
Don Juan is the team leader, and Jiang Mingyue is the group's darling. Wei Lai and the other two subconsciously believe that Don Juan and Jiang Mingyue should sit together.
Don Juan knew that some people online were shipping him and Jiang Mingyue as a couple, and theoretically he should avoid it, but in reality, there was no need to.
The more you try to avoid it, the more it will be magnified.
Besides, Jiang Mingyue doesn't care about these things at all. The young girl treats all four of them equally, and there is no favoritism or bias on her part.
To put it bluntly, she almost never showed any girlish shyness in her eyes.
During last night's fashion show, she seemed completely indifferent to the international male models, and probably paid the most attention to the two wolfhounds.
Don Juan couldn't help but guess that her master's sect might not allow people to enter the secular world, marry, and have children.
G Family Hotel is located at the most scenic northwestern tip of the island, facing the Mediterranean Sea, where the azure ocean is breathtaking.
The hotel is built along the mountainside, and its white, round roof resembles a pigeon perched on the mountain wall. The hotel logo is not made of building materials, but rather of local rocks, making it unique and novel.
The group got off the tour bus and strolled among the lush canopy of trees and flowers, feeling as if they were Alice in Wonderland.
Wei Lai couldn't help but exclaim, "The scenery must be even more beautiful if we come in the summer."
Ji Wenxuan suggested with a smile, "Brother Wei can choose to have his honeymoon here after he gets married."
Wei Lai nodded generously, "That's not impossible. We'll take a few more photos later."
Jiang Mingyue reached out and touched the flowers on her head, her gaze sweeping around. The environment here was indeed very good, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, a place with excellent feng shui.
"Everyone, watch your step."
The hotel lobby was on the ground floor, and you had to walk down some stone steps to get there. Don Juan turned around and reminded everyone.
Jiang Mingyue snapped out of her daze and followed after him.
Wow, what a beautiful hotel!
I searched online and found it's a five-star hotel on an island with a century-long history; many celebrities love to stay here.
Goodness gracious, who on earth invited this group of movie stars?
I think I know who it is.
Sisters, we might not be guessing the same person.
[Renato Weld! This hotel was acquired by the Weld family three years ago!]
【Ahhhh, is our Ginger Sugar CP going to have a bad ending?】
【Romantic CP fans, get out of here】
The viewers in the live stream were divided into three groups: those who followed the show, those who shipped the couples, and those who were fans of the five guests' careers or just casual viewers.
CP fans have always been looked down upon by career fans. They are a lowly group who can only pick up a magnifying glass and look for any sweet moments when the main characters don't give out any. Or they might just use artificial sweeteners.
The fans of the Jiangtang CP were both happy and frustrated. On one hand, they were glad that Jiang Jie and her group of five had saved money, but on the other hand, they couldn't bear to see Renato spending money to pursue her.
Unfortunately, they couldn't ask the two parties involved, because the movie star wouldn't pay attention to them, and Sister Jiang was even less likely to respond. She would only say a few words to them when she was in a good mood, and avoid looking at the camera the whole time when she wasn't.
The group first went to the hotel lobby to check in.
The five members of Don Juan's group were assigned to rooms on the top floor with the best views, and each room was equipped with an outdoor pool where they could swim while enjoying the unbeatable sea view.
Wow! I want to see the brothers swimming!
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.
[Drooling while watching Sister Jiang swim.jpg]
[I want to see the Best Actor swim with Sister Jiang]
At this critical juncture, none of the five guests had time to pay attention to netizens' comments; they were all packing their luggage and sending their clothes to the hotel dry cleaners.
Lunch is scheduled for noon, but it's only 10:30 in the morning, so everyone plans to take a leisurely walk around the area.
After lunch, we'll head to the mountaintop for some photos, explore the island town in the afternoon, have a hot pot dinner in the evening, sleep overnight, and depart for Naples' main city the next morning—a perfect travel plan.
The weather was perfect today, with pleasant temperatures, so Don Juan and his group of five traveled light and strolled along the pedestrian path near the hotel.
Every five steps revealed a beautiful view, and they brought five rolls of film for their point-and-shoot camera, enough for them to take pictures.
At Wei Lai's request, Jiang Mingyue changed out of her black windbreaker jacket.
"Mingyue, brother, please be a good female star today and let us take some beautiful photos of you, okay?"
Jiang Mingyue hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. After all, who knew when she would come again? She shouldn't pretend to be mature.
In the real world, she is only twenty-four years old.
So she put on the loose pink knitted sweater she bought on the West Island, which Ji Wenxuan managed to bargain down to only ten euros for.
The hotel also prepared a cashmere cloak for Jiang Mingyue, but Wei Lai and the other three did not receive this treatment. They assumed it was a private gift from Renato, but later, when they saw other female tourists wearing the same cloak, they instantly realized that this was a kind of promotional culture of the hotel.
“Mingyue, come here, lean against the railing, turn your face to the sea, and I’ll take a picture of you.”
Wei Lai has good photography skills and knows how to bring out the strengths of each person.
Jiang Mingyue obediently walked to the mountainside and posed as Wei Lai instructed.
Tang Huang and the other two waited with smiles on their faces, while Ji Wenxuan and Meng Qinzhou kept praising Jiang Mingyue's beauty.
"Yes, that's the angle, it's beautiful. Brother Wei, take a few more pictures of Mingyue."
"Brother Wei, can we do a photoshoot with Sister Jiang?"
Wei Lai stood on the opposite sidewalk and said, "Of course, don't rush, everyone needs to take a group photo!"
Today's main theme is vacation and fun, and the production crew cooperated with smiles throughout.
It's good for the guests to take photos; take as many as possible so they don't have to run around and get tired.
The working class was overjoyed.
When it was Don Juan's turn to take a photo with Jiang Mingyue, a gust of wind suddenly blew, messing up Jiang Mingyue's hair. Don Juan took the opportunity to put the hat he was holding on her head.
Jiang Mingyue looked up at him, a playful smile on her lips, "Thank you, Brother Tang."
"Don't mention it." Don Juan was wearing a white sweatshirt with a denim jacket, looking young and stylish.
Wei Lai, who was diagonally opposite, quickly captured this scene and took several photos from different angles.
"Beautiful, you two look just like the male and female leads in a movie magazine."
Ji Wenxuan nodded vigorously, "Brother Wei is right, Brother Tang and Mingyue have great chemistry. Has any director taken a liking to them? Come and hand over the script."
Viewers in the live stream were completely stunned.
I kind of understand what the CP fans are thinking; it's really pleasing to the eye to see handsome men and beautiful women together.
[Sister Jiang's outfit is reminiscent of a girl group look]
It's hard not to agree with the CEO's suggestion.
[Have any magazines invited the award-winning actor to take couple photos with Sister Jiang?]
[I agree with the suggestion from the sister upstairs; we should shoot a blockbuster like X-Tension.]
All four older brothers take good care of Sister Jiang.
Of course, the brothers all benefited from Sister Jiang's influence.
Where is that wealthy, handsome, and brooding Renato?
Not only were the fans in the live stream secretly shipping the ginger and candy couple, but many of the show's staff members were also secretly shipping them.
The executive director couldn't stop smiling, but the assistant director couldn't stand it and reminded him to keep a low profile.
Executive Director: "Boss, you don't understand the joy of shipping couples. It can effectively relieve the fatigue and stress of a day's work, and it's even more enjoyable than being in a relationship yourself."
The assistant director was speechless, unable to keep up with the young man's thought process.
"I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but what if the couple you're shipping is actually fake?"
"Then let's try another set."
As long as you change frequently, you don't have to worry about a bad outcome!
Assistant Director: "..."
Unfortunately, the CP fans' happiness only lasted until midnight!
Don Juan and his group of five returned to the hotel, where the mysterious host, Renato, appeared. He was wearing a charcoal gray V-neck sweater, over which was a plaid shirt of the same color, with tailored suit trousers and casual black leather shoes.
The temperament of the heir to the Lao Qian family is self-evident.
[Ahhh, the owner of the Diablo Hotel!]
[I knew it! The heir to the Old Qian family, sob sob sob]
I'm happy for Sister Jiang, but sad for the Best Actor.
Sisters, let me remind you, Sister Jiang isn't love-struck.
[Let's fight!]
Renato sat at the head of the outdoor restaurant. When he saw Jiang Mingyue and her group return, he quickly got up to greet them.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I had a meeting this morning and couldn't get away to personally welcome you to the island. I really regret it."
"It's alright, work is more important." Jiang Mingyue came out from behind Wei Lai, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
When Renato saw Jiang Mingyue's outfit, he was immediately struck by her appearance. "Miss Jiang, your style is quite different today. You seem much more approachable this way."
Foreigners are straightforward, and Jiang Mingyue readily accepted Renato's compliments, even returning the compliments in kind.
"You're not bad either. You look better in casual clothes. You look much more cheerful. Also, smile more often. Smiling brings good luck."
Don Juan and his three companions, along with viewers in the live stream: "..."
My tendency to feel embarrassed for others has resurfaced.
Only Sister Jiang would dare to say something like that.
Sister Jiang speaks literally; she doesn't play games.
To be fair, Renato really seemed alive and vibrant today.
Renato didn't mind Jiang Mingyue's teasing. He tried to smile, but his smile was stiff and it would have been better if he hadn't smiled at all.
Jiang Mingyue praised him again, saying, "You have a good smile, keep it up."
Don Juan coughed, signaling everyone to wash their hands so as not to keep Mr. Renato waiting.
Renato gave him a grateful look.
[Hahaha, so what if he's handsome and rich? Sister Jiang clearly doesn't like Renato.]
[That's not entirely true. Sister Jiang seems to be missing a screw, a screw that's missing when it comes to love.]
At the oval dining table, Renato sat in the head seat, with Jiang Mingyue and Tang Juan sitting to his left and right respectively, and Wei Lai and the other two taking their seats in order.
Meng Qinzhou whispered to Wei Lai, "Brother Wei, should we turn off the live stream?"
Wei Lai smiled wryly. It was an excellent question, and he wasn't sure how to answer it either.
Neither Don Juan nor Jiang Mingyue mentioned it, and Renato didn't even notice it.
Finally, the production team stepped forward to remind them that it would be best to turn off the live stream, as there was red wine on the table and it would be inconvenient to blur the faces of minors during the live stream.
Don Juan translated for the production team, and Renato quickly replied in English, "No need for that. You can continue the live broadcast. I'd like to invite everyone to go snorkeling this afternoon. I didn't prepare any alcohol for lunch."
Wei Lai's eyes lit up. "Snorkeling is great! I've heard that the waters around Capri are crystal clear and are known as the 'jelly sea'."
Chi Wen-hsuan has a fear of deep seas, so he declined the snorkeling invitation.
Both Meng Qinzhou and Don Juan had snorkeling experience and were very happy to go.
Jiang Mingyue initially didn't want to go into the sea, but then changed her mind. She could try her water manipulation technique in the sea.
Renato sought Jiang Mingyue's opinion, saying that if she didn't know how, he could personally coach her.
[Snorkeling!]
Renato is truly a gentleman and knows how to behave well.
Sisters, I'm starting to ship Renato and Jiang Jie a little.
Teacher Tang doesn't seem to be jealous.
[A battleground! Let's fight!]
[Actor, take the initiative! We'd love to see you snorkeling with Sister Jiang!]
To the disappointment of netizens, Jiang Mingyue casually replied, "Oh, no need for that. I got a snorkeling certificate in college."
This is true; it's not a skill she learned after transmigrating into the book.
During her sophomore year, she worked part-time at the Ocean Park, dressing up as a mermaid and soaking in the pool for half a day every day.
It was because of this that she was discovered by Star Shine Entertainment and embarked on the path of a female idol.
Everyone was surprised; Teacher Jiang was a hidden gem!
Renato wasn't disappointed. "Then we can have a friendly spar."
The lunch featured a wide variety of dishes, including fruits, vegetables, meats, and seafood, all of which were the hotel's signature dishes.
To accommodate everyone, Renato communicated entirely in English, with a perfect British accent and at a slow pace.
Jiang Mingyue was a quiet person during the meal. She was not picky about food and ate whatever the waiter brought her.
Don Juan and the other three were already used to her good appetite and large appetite, so they would eat at her pace to avoid making her feel embarrassed if she finished too early.
As shrewd as Renato was, he naturally noticed this as well. He had always been a light eater, but under Jiang Mingyue's influence, he unknowingly ate quite a lot, even a small half bowl of seafood fried rice.
He was surprised.
To be honest, Sister Jiang has a really good appetite, and the best part is she doesn't gain weight.
Sister Jiang was very quiet during the meal, and I was worried that it would be awkward, but the atmosphere turned out to be quite good.
[Wei Lai: Is it possible that I've been the one trying to liven things up?]
Netizens thought they would hear a lot of gossip, but they didn't get anything in return and just watched the guests eat and drink.
Some people couldn't control their cravings and went to the kitchen to make noodles, while others ordered takeout and bought seafood fried rice as a substitute.
Some netizens with strong willpower only drank water, and once they were full, they were no longer hungry.
After lunch, the live stream will be paused for an hour so that the Best Actor and his team can take a nap and prepare for the afternoon's snorkeling.
Netizens understood and supported the idea, and also took the opportunity to rest.
Renato invited Jiang Mingyue for a walk in the garden. With no outsiders around, they communicated directly in the local language.
"The dog trainer was bribed to poison Lucky's food, causing Lucky to lose its sense of smell. Ms. Jiang, if it weren't for your reminder, I would not have been able to discover this."
Renato remained inactive last night, but this morning he had his residence raided, and finally managed to uncover some suspicious activity.
Lucky slept outside his bedroom at night, its alertness comparable to a high-tech security team. Now that its sense of smell has failed, it would be far too easy for someone with malicious intent to assassinate him.
Renato dislikes making enemies and acts with discretion, but being in a high position inevitably leads to oversights, so it's understandable that he's envied.
But he sensed that Jiang Mingyue had obviously helped with more than just that, and he still couldn't figure out why she had patted his shoulder.
He had thought he would have trouble sleeping last night, but in fact he slept soundly until dawn and felt quite refreshed when he woke up in the morning.
The housekeeper praised him, saying he looked better than before.
