The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 184.4
Mu Xiulun specially provided his own team of lawyers to Fang Xie, and prepared a large amount of cash —— If there was an indictment sent, they would try to fight for an out-of-court settlement. If a settlement was out of the question, then lawsuit it was!
However, Fang Xie waited and waited and waited for a long time …Finally, a diamond brand came to ask for justice.
The international diamond brand invited Su Jin as their spokesperson for Greater China at the beginning of last year. The contract period was two years. During the contract period, Su Jin would shoot a series of new advertisements for the diamond brand every quarter and attend corresponding offline events.
Among them, Su Jinqing shot three commercials and Su Jishi shot two.
Now, the president of the diamond brand in the Greater China region smilingly sipped his tea and made a request that seemed too ‘farfetched’ to Fang Xie.
They wanted the latest season’s commercial to be shot by the ‘Su Jin sisters’.
Fang Xie: “…You mean… the two of them will shoot together?”
“Yes,” confirmed the brand president of the Greater China region, “I signed Su Jin. Since both of them are Su Jin, let’s shoot them both.”
Fang Xie: “But that’s not how the contract is written ah. It only says Su Jin in black and white ah!”
“You want to negotiate the contract with me?” The other party instantly changed his face, “Then why don’t we talk about breach of contract first?”
Fang Xie: “…”
Fang Xie immediately stood still: “Okay, no problem. I’ll go persuade Sister Su’s side! I’ll ensure that the two of them will complete their mission successfully!”
After sending off the president of the diamond brand in Greater China, Fang Xie received a series of advertising invitations from shampoo brands, clothing brands and lipstick brands.
They all wanted to rush this wave of craze before it faded and get the two Su sisters on all the outdoor billboards!!!
Su Jin’s traffic had seen a series of explosions recently. After all this time, netizens’ impressions were on the positive side. She wasn’t considered a ‘bad artist’, so the two sisters on the same ad must be worth the interest!
This same thought not only appeared in the heads of advertisers, but even the editors of the four major fashion magazines threw an olive branch, and sincerely invited the sisters to appear on their covers!
Among them, the most sincere one was True Me. Previously, Su Jishi filmed a bareback horse photo set, following the example of 《Lady Godiva on Horseback》, and received numerous praises. It even set a record for magazine sales in recent years. The editor-in-chief of True Me had a keen sense of smell, and a phone call was made to Fang Xie to personally invite the Su sisters to shoot a cover.
And the bargaining chip they came up with was extraordinarily tempting —— It was actually the cover of the September issue!
You know, there has always been a saying, Golden Nine and Silver Ten in the fashion circle. Every September and October, the covers were filled with gunpowder. Magazines were doing everything they could to invite big-name stars to participate in their shoots, while artists were trying to get their heads above water. Even if they couldn’t make it to the four major magazines, they should appear on a sub-publication or a 2nd-tier magazine cover. If anyone was relegated to the inner pages, he would definitely become the laughingstock in the entertainment circle!
Traditionally, the annual Golden Nine cover was reserved for the most famous powerful female artists in the circle. Among these people, there were many international best actresses and international supermodels. But now, the editor-in-chief of True Me directly offered the Golden Nine to Su Jin. If Su Jin took it, she (they) would be the first artist(s) in the new generation to appear on the cover in the four major magazines!
How can Fang Xie not get excited!
He immediately told this news to Su Jishi and Su Jinqing, but after they heard it, they both hesitated.
Su Jinqing said, “But I’m going to leave at the end of the year when my contract expires… At this time, I’m still ‘hogging’ a Golden Nine cover. It’s a bit of a waste when such good resources are given to me when I have no room to rise, right?”
“What’s wasted?! You are just too generous and always thinking of others. When will you think of yourself?” Fang Xie was exasperated with her. “Think about it, you’ve been in the circle for so many years. Before you leave, don’t you want to leave a most profound and glorious memory?”
“…” Su Jinqing didn’t say anything, but the expression on her face obviously softened.
Having conquered one little ancestor, Fang Xie immediately cast his eyes on another big ancestor.
He asked pleasantly, “Then, Sister Su, what is your reason for disagreeing also?”
Su Jishi asked, “When will the Golden Nine issue come out?”
Fang Xie counted on his fingers, “The 15th of August.”
In order to seize the market, the fashion industry always wanted to publish the magazine a month in advance.
Su Jishi: “The issue will come out in the middle of August. Counting the time for layout and printing, and then counting the time for interview and post layout, the shooting will be in July, right?”
Fang Xie nodded: “Yes, the last time you shot ‘Lady Godiva’, it was a complete fight for time. We almost had to open a sunroof! But that issue isn’t an important issue. This Golden Nine issue will definitely start shooting in July!”
Su Jishi said with regret, “I really can’t shoot —— In July, I have to go back to the United States to attend my doctoral graduation ceremony!”
For her, her studies were always more important than the entertainment industry!
Fang Xie: “…”
Fang Xie: “……”
Fang Xie: “………”
He had no other choice but to return the call to the editor-in-chief of True Me magazine.
The editor-in-chief never considered that she would be rejected when she extended the invitation. This was the Golden Nine! The Golden Nine of the four major magazines! Several other magazines had started screening topics half a year in advance. This time, she supported the Su Jin sisters on the cover but was actually rejected!
The editor-in-chief laughed in anger and asked, “Which magazine is it?”
“Huh?” Fang Xie reacted after a moment, realizing that the editor-in-chief had misunderstood, He quickly explained, “No, no, no… How could we reject you and switch to another magazine? But there really is no way this time. Sister Su – I mean the older sister in the twins – just can’t meet the schedule…”
“Oh? What’s her big deal?”
Fang Xie had no choice but to tell the truth: “She has to go back to get her diploma.”
Editor-in-chief: “…”
Editor-in-chief: “Back to the United States? To receive her doctoral diploma?”
Fang Xie thought, It seems that the editor-in-chief is also very gossipy, she has read a lot of online discussion posts.
Fang Xie: “Yes.”
“What a coincidence!” The editor-in-chief slapped her thigh, stood up and said, “I think for this year’s Golden Nine, we don’t have to go to Europe and whatnot for the filming. We’ll just go to the United States and shoot the sisters’ graduation trip!”
Fang Xie: “…??”
Can this also be done???
……
Mu Xiulun couldn’t easily vacate a whole month of vacation from his busy work, so he planned to accompany Su Jishi back to the United States to receive her diploma as a family member and spend a sweet honeymoon trip with her…However, Su Jishi informed him two days before departure that on this trip to the United States, they actually had countless more big light bulbs! This group of light bulbs not only came in groups, but their brightness was stronger than the other!
Mu Xiulun: “…”
Seeing the dissatisfaction written on his face, Su Jishi coaxed him, “Good boy, the shooting will last for three days. They will take the scene in the campus. After the cover shoot, my sister will go back home with them.”
Mu Xiulun gave a long sigh: “In the past, I only had one love rival, the hammer; now, your sister is also my love rival…”
Su Jishi laughed at his fondness for jealousy.
Mu Xiulun deliberately acted pitiful and asked her: “So the road trip we agreed on…?”
Su Jishi: “Don’t worry. We’ll have a road trip, and I’ll be the guide. It’s absolutely no loss to you.”
Mu Xiulun asked, “Then have you readied the vehicle?”
“The SUV is spacious and comfortable and can accommodate luggage. A sports car is stylish and fast. Rest easy, these cars can be easily rented there.”
But Mu Xiulun shook his head: “No, I’m not talking about this kind of car.”
Su Jishi still did not realize that she had fallen into a trap, and asked in a rare and slow manner, “Then what kind of car are you talking about?”
Mu Xiulun finally showed his wolf claws: “Of course it’s the seismic vehicle.”
Su Jishi: “…”
The man wrapped his arms around the woman’s thin waist and glided his hands upward as he carried her to the dining table aside.
His gaze was scorchingly hot, skimming over her body inch by inch.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear ——
“Jishi, why don’t you try self-driving today?”
