I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"I'm not going!"

"I'll leave tomorrow's arrangements to you. Make sure you pick up the person and start filming on time."

Gu Caiwei didn't need to worry about picking people up at all; with the new product launch imminent, she had plenty of things to do!

Even if she were free, she wouldn't go to pick it up herself.

Afternoon, at the train station.

"here!"

Chen Xiaoxiao pounced on Qin Ge, her soft body colliding with his.

The long kiss ended in the car.

Chen Xiaoxiao breathed softly, tidying her disheveled hair and clothes. "What's going on with Qingcheng Beauty? Is it really okay for you to lower your prices like this?"

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to be so insistent on cooperating with us."

"I know you mean well. It's not too late to think about these things after you've calmed down."

"This collaboration is inherently unfair. If it weren't for you, our small business would never have had the opportunity to collaborate with Qingcheng Beauty. My dad doesn't want to take advantage of you like this."

Qin Ge gently lifted her chin, pinching it slightly. "Who said you got the better deal?"

"If you're included, I'm the one who benefits!"

"Pah!" Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I'm not a bargaining chip!"

Qin Ge took Chen Xiaoxiao to Zuixianlou for a meal, and then they went back to Chen Xiaoxiao's place together.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but inevitably, it can also lead to a period of turmoil and uncertainty.

The two didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

Qin Ge propped his head up with one hand, admiring Chen Xiaoxiao's stunning figure. "What are you busy with so early in the morning?"

"The sun's already high in the sky, it's still early!" Chen Xiaoxiao said, holding her phone with both hands, looking at it very intently.

Hearing Qin Ge's words, she freed one hand and reached out to touch him, "Did you know, Yang Manni is in Donghai too!"

"I wonder if she's taken on any gigs. If I knew where she was, I'd love to get her autograph!"

She looked on with longing, her attention completely focused on her phone, not even glancing at Qin Ge.

"I know!" Qin Ge pulled her into his arms, guiding her soft, boneless hands. "Look at you, so infatuated! If I didn't know Yang Manni was a woman, I'd be really annoyed!"

"What's the use of an autograph? I'll sign one for you if you want, my handwriting is pretty good too!"

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You're already here, why would I need your autograph?"

"That's Yang Manni!"

"A top celebrity in the industry, a national goddess!"

"What goddess? She looks pretty ordinary to me." Qin Ge was unimpressed. He knew that Gu Caiwei had hired Yang Manni as her spokesperson and had even seen Yang Manni's photos.

He didn't pay much attention when Gu Caiwei told him; he just glanced at the photo and told Gu Caiwei to make the decision herself.

"She's not as pretty as you, and her figure isn't as good either. If you go and ask her for an autograph, aren't you just ruining her event?"

Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You're so sweet-talking. Are you telling the truth?"

"I'll take it as a fact for now and reward you!"

Her face flushed slightly as she broke free from Qin Ge's embrace and turned to crawl into bed.

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face. "Since you've been so proactive last night and today, I'll take you to meet Yang Manni!"

"hiss--"

"Don't get so agitated, be careful!"

......

Alluring Beauty, Gu Caiwei's office.

"He didn't seem to care at all yesterday, so why did he call to ask?" Gu Caiwei muttered to herself after hanging up Qin Ge's phone.

Then I called Fang Jing and said, "Let me know when you've picked them up!"

Yang Manni's flight landed at Donghai Airport at 11:00 AM sharp, and Fang Jing arrived at the VIP channel of Donghai Airport before 10:30 AM to wait for her.

Fang Jing was dressed impeccably in a suit and skirt, holding a gift box and flowers in her hand. She would occasionally look up at the end of the corridor, afraid that she might miss Yang Manni coming out.

Once eleven o'clock had passed, she stared intently at the passageway.

At 11:30, Yang Manni finally appeared.

The group, surrounded by attendants, almost completely occupied the passageway.

Besides bodyguards, there were seven or eight other staff members, including agents, personal assistants, and stylists.

Fang Jing immediately stepped forward, a smile plastered on her face. "Hello, Miss Yang, I'm Fang Jing, the secretary to Mr. Gu, the CEO of Qingcheng Beauty. Mr. Gu is extremely busy today, so he specially asked me to pick you up. This is for you..."

"Gu Caiwei didn't come?" Agent Wen Qiuxuan interrupted Fang Jing, her face showing displeasure. "Is your CEO Gu too precious, or is your Qingcheng Beauty Cosmetics company used to fooling people?"

"You actually went so far as to send your mere secretary to pick you up!"

"Don't you even know how many important figures our Manny has met? Has any of them dared to be as arrogant as your CEO, sending only a mere secretary to pick her up?"

"Does Gu Caiwei think Manny isn't high enough in status to deserve her personally picking her up?"

"If word gets out that a secretary like you is picking us up, it will lower Manny's reputation. Can you afford to take responsibility for that?"

Yang Manni stood to the side wearing sunglasses, silent and indifferent.

"Feel sorry!"

"Our CEO, Ms. Gu, really couldn't get away. She originally planned to come in person, but there was an urgent meeting that she simply couldn't cancel."

Fang Jing felt bitter inside. This big star was too difficult to please. She was in for a tough day.

It's just getting out of the airport, getting in the car, and leaving. What's so special about you that President Gu is personally picking you up?

"This way, please!" Fang Jing maintained her smile, managing to suppress her displeasure no matter how much she disliked it.

"Why are you the only one who came here?" Upon arriving outside the passage and seeing the deserted scene, Wen Qiuxuan's already unpleasant face instantly darkened.

Fang Jing didn't understand Wen Qiuxuan's meaning for a moment, so she quickly explained, "No, there's also a driver waiting in the car."

"The cars can't get through here, our convoy is all here..."

"Who told you that?!" Wen Qiuxuan's face darkened. "I'm asking you, why aren't there a single fan or reporter?"

"Is this how you do things?"

"People who don't know the situation might think our Manny is washed up!"

Fang Jing's smile froze; she really wanted to curse!

If reporters and fans don't come, is that any of my business?

Moreover, you broke your promise first and arrived a day late. If you have to deal with fans and reporters after you get off the plane now, how will you be able to work today?

What a piece of junk! So unprofessional!

Actually, she didn't know that this really needed to be arranged, and Yang Manni and Wen Qiuxuan were already used to it.

On one hand, they pretend to be in a difficult situation, creating the impression that they are bothered by being surrounded by fans, while on the other hand, they secretly leak their travel routes in advance. Sometimes, they even have to pay money to hire online trolls to appear when there aren't enough fans.

In short, the goal is to create the impression that Yang Manni is incredibly popular.

However, Yang Manni is truly popular, and she rarely needs to hire fans or ask them to take time off.

Fang Jing was furious but dared not vent it, and could only apologize repeatedly.

With things having come to this point, there was no point in complaining about anyone else, and Yang Manni and her group finally got into the car.

It was almost noon, so Fang Jing first took Yang Manni and the others to a high-end Western restaurant for lunch before heading to Qingcheng Beauty.

After the group arrived at Qingcheng Beauty, Fang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we succeeded in bringing this master here.
