Honest Beta gets scammed

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi's heart skipped a beat.

"Eternal Radiance" is the most prestigious luxury jewelry line under the Ho family, renowned for its rare gemstones and cutting-edge designs. Its spokespeople throughout the years have all been international superstars or top supermodels.

Looking at his boss's matter-of-fact attitude, he already guessed what He Xiangchen was up to, and cursed him inwardly as a tyrant.

"It hasn't been finalized yet; we're currently in contact with several candidates."

"No need for contact anymore."

He Xiangchen casually closed the magazine, tossed it on the table, and gestured with his chin toward the cover.

"He's the one."

Xu Shi took a deep breath and offered his advice in a tactful manner.

"Mr. He, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. 'Chu Meng' is just a second-tier fashion magazine, and Mr. Li Qing is currently only a newcomer. If we rashly let him be the spokesperson, it will not only fail to bring any positive effects to the brand, but may also cause resentment from the public and the brand's original consumer group because of the complete mismatch between his qualifications and status. Mr. Li Qing may also be severely criticized."

He Xiangchen frowned.

The He family has no involvement in the entertainment industry, and He Xiangchen doesn't know much about it. He mainly appears in this circle as an investor or a business partner.

Jewelry is only a small branch of the He family's business. The selection of a spokesperson is usually done by his subordinates who analyze the candidates and he agrees. If he just makes a decision on his own, it would be like an outsider messing up the insider's business.

What's wrong with me? I'm totally out of my mind.

He Xiangchen pondered for a moment.

"Then you decide what to do. Arrange some other suitable resources for him, starting from the basics and gradually increasing the level."

"Okay, boss." Xu Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his boss hadn't been completely infatuated with Li Qing.

He Xiangchen's phone vibrated just as he finished talking about Li Qing.

He picked it up and opened it; it was a message from Qin Chuanci.

[Qin Chuanci: Don't bother me with these kinds of inexplicable things anymore.]

Qin Chuanci: Don't look for Chu Yi either.

He Xiangchen looked at the screen, chuckled, and slowly replied by tapping his fingers on the screen.

I didn't look for Chu Yi, I looked for Xu Mang.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end.

[Qin Chuanci: What the hell are you doing?]

He Xiangchen raised an eyebrow, leaned back in his chair, a playful look on his face. He thought for a moment, then his fingertips began to dance across the screen again.

[It's nothing, I'm just dating a minor celebrity, so I'm helping him boost sales.]

After typing that line, he casually opened the photo album, preparing to send a picture of Li Qing to prove that what he said was true.

The moment the photo album opened, He Xiangchen stopped moving.

The album is full of photos of Li Qing.

These aren't portraits; they're all everyday photos.

He had been frequently asking Li Qing out for a while, but one day He Xiangchen started taking pictures.

The photos in the album are all taken in different scenes.

There were people with Li Qing drooling at the dining table, waiting for the food to be served; there were people with Li Qing walking in the square; and there were people with mud on their faces from fishing.

Of course, there are some group photos, but most of them were taken by him on the spot without his knowledge. Li Qing himself was unaware of them.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already saved so many photos of this country bumpkin on his phone.

He Xiangchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. He felt a little itchy and a little swollen.

But he was only held onto this unfamiliar feeling for a brief moment before he quickly broke free, randomly selected a photo, and sent it over.

After sending the message, Qin Chuanci fell silent again.

Just when He Xiangchen thought he wouldn't reply, his phone beeped.

[Qin Chuanci: Who?]

He Xiangchen's smile widened.

[The minor celebrity I'm dating.]

The president's office of the Qin Group.

Qin Chuan resigned to handle the documents.

He had almost finished his work for the day, and since He Xiangchen's request to him a couple of days ago was really inexplicable, he couldn't help but take some time to chat with He Xiangchen. But he didn't expect the other party to reply with something like this.

His gaze swept across the photograph.

The background of the photo is a messy riverbank. A man in casual clothes is sitting on a small stool, his face turned to the side towards the camera. He must have caught a fish, because he is smiling broadly.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Chuanci recognized it as the cover figure of the magazine that He Xiangchen had asked him to put into the gift box.

However, without the help of a professional photographer and makeup artist, this everyday photo is just ordinary in his eyes.

Is He Xiangchen... eating too much meat and switching to vegetarian food?

"What's wrong?"

A voice sounded from the side, and Qin Chuanci looked over.

Chu Yi, who was sitting on the side waiting for Qin Chuan to finish get off work, stood up and walked to his side.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuanci smiled and said, "It's nothing, just news about He Xiangchen."

Chu Yi's gaze fell on the screen. He didn't speak for the moment, but his fingertip slid across the screen twice, reading through the entire chat between He Xiangchen and Qin Chuanci. He immediately understood.

He had previously found it strange that although He Xiangchen was a powerful backer found by his elder brother Xu Mang, he rarely interfered in the internal affairs of their company, except for occasionally inviting Xu Mang to eat, drink and have fun.

A couple of days ago, he suddenly went crazy and gave a very strange order, instructing Xu Mang to add a copy of the magazine "First Dream" to the holiday gift boxes sent to the company. He had even read the magazine a couple of days ago.

Chu Yi was quite puzzled at first, but now he finally understood.

His gaze lingered on the photo for a moment before he suddenly spoke.

"He quite likes this person."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuanci looked at Chu Yi, then his gaze returned to Li Qing's photo.

"How did you figure that out?"

Chu Yi glanced at Qin Chuanci, then sat casually on the corner of his desk, offering Qin Chuanci an analysis with amusement.

"This person was fishing. This photo shows that He Xiangchen accompanied him at the time, but he is not the kind of person who would spend time on his lover."

"and……"

Chu Yi lightly tapped the photo with his finger: "This photo was taken on cue, or rather, taken secretly."

……

Meanwhile, at a high-end entertainment club in the capital, next to the outdoor swimming pool.

Yang An, wearing sunglasses, leaned back in his recliner, flipping through a magazine.

The pool ahead was bustling with people and splashing water, but he showed no intention of getting in.

A moment later, a tall Beta emerged from the water, water droplets sliding down his muscular physique. He picked up a towel, dried his hair, and walked over to Yang An.

"Why aren't you going into the water? It's so hot, why are you sunbathing here? Have you lost your mind?"

Yang An chuckled and pulled his sunglasses down a bit, revealing a pair of squinting eyes.

He didn't take offense at the offensive words and said with a smile, "This magazine has been selling very well lately, so I just picked it up to take a look."

"What magazine?"

"Here you go." With that, Yang An handed over the copy of "First Dream."

Beta took it; his name was Yan Wenyu, the youngest son of the Yan family.

Since He Xiangchen stopped going to Shengxin Club, Yang An has also stopped going there. Recently, he has been getting very close to the youngest member of the Yan family.

Yan Wenyu flipped through a few pages casually, then found it rather boring. He had never been interested in fashion, so he pursed his lips and handed the magazine back to Yang An: "It's pointless."

Yang An smiled and took it back, then casually mentioned it.

"I wasn't interested at first, but this cover features He Xiangchen's latest lover, which he deliberately included. I bought it out of curiosity, but it's really quite boring."
