Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

"I just found out, didn't I? Anna reminded me."

"Besides, I am only the Asia-Pacific ambassador, so I shouldn't be subject to such restrictions."

"I don't care anyway. This endorsement is worth fifty million. If Chanel doesn't want to become my mortal enemy, then we should just go our separate ways."

"My daily outfits remain the same, and I even help promote Chanel at some high-end social events, which is quite a compensation. If it weren't allowed..."

Carl, on the other end of the phone, knew all too well what kind of temper Li Xiang had, and guessed that the idea was most likely Anna's.

They're all his friends, what could he do? Besides, Chanel isn't his company.

"You're implying something, aren't you? Go ahead and say it?"

"Hehe, I just feel like I've given enough, serving as the representative of the Asia-Pacific region while doing global work."

"And in a few days, I will be going to India to visit the Ambani family of Reliance Industries."

At this point, Li Xiang, not wanting to make the situation too awkward, slightly changed the subject.

"As the Asia-Pacific brand ambassador, shouldn't Chanel offer me some exquisite pieces as gifts?"

"You know that place. Whatever the top circle uses, the upper and middle classes will follow suit."

"The polarization over there is extremely severe; the rich are truly wealthy, and their spending power is incredibly high..."

"If the group agrees, consider it my way of giving them something in return."

Carl, on the other end of the phone, was also thinking about this. He had actually made a decision long ago; all he needed was an explanation from Li Xiang.

Of course, this explanation was not given to him, but to other senior executives within the company.

A moment later: "I'm at headquarters now. I'll meet with them in a bit. I'll call you back."

Li Xiang had already guessed the outcome of his attempt to intimidate others, and his tone became lighter: "I'm glad you said that. Then I'll wait for good news."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiang turned to look at Anna beside him, a smile playing on his lips.

"Most of it is done. All that's left is to wait for Karl's results. The higher-ups probably can't refuse, so at worst we can just part ways."

Anna raised an eyebrow: "You're quite the shrewd businesswoman. You used a trip to India to keep Chanel on your side and secure Richard Miller's endorsement."

"But what's the deal with the Ambani family? And when did you first meet them?"

Li Xiang then realized that he hadn't mentioned this to Anna yet, and he couldn't let his powerful confidante cause any misunderstanding.

"That Isa Ambani said she was a fan of mine and wanted to invite me to be her dance partner at her adult party through Delphia."

"It wouldn't hurt for me to get to know such a family, so I plan to visit them soon so we can get acquainted."

"Delphia also wants to build a relationship with this family. Seeing how much she cares about me, how could I not help?"

Anna then understood; it was just like how some Hollywood bosses would arrange for their stars to get acquainted with powerful and influential people.

The celebrities themselves are happy to seize this opportunity, so it's a win-win situation for both sides.

After quickly going over the matter in her mind twice, Anna decided to give Li Xiang a heads-up.

That way, he won't be so focused on money that he loses his bearings.

Over the past three years, she has poured almost all the resources at her disposal into Li Xiang, all in an effort to cultivate a new fashion superstar.

She didn't want anything to go wrong on her trip to India, after all, this guy was a money-grubber.

"Creating a romantic pairing isn't a problem for you right now," Anna said slowly.

"But when dealing with the female heiress of such a top family, you have to be careful about how you conduct yourself. The two of you aren't really a good match..."

Upon hearing Anna's explicit suggestion, Li Xiang almost jumped to his feet.

"What the hell? I haven't even seen her yet, what are you thinking? She's Indian, think about the bacterial contamination on the Ganges, her..."

Anna was amused by Li Xiang's little temper, but she felt relieved.

I was just worried that Li Xiang might be easily blinded by the allure of a wealthy family, but now it seems that he hasn't even considered romance. My worries have been greatly relieved.

"This is just a heads-up. All sorts of situations can happen in wealthy families, so be careful to avoid causing any unexpected trouble later."

Li Xiang waved his hand, sat back down in his chair, and said with a helpless expression, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

"In the past, it was just a matter of getting to know each other and incidentally connecting Deng Wendi's News Corporation. After all, we'll be spending the night together later, so it would be more awkward if we didn't get to know each other."

"It's good that you think that way, kid. That Mukesh is a formidable man; just look at his brother. It'll be fine if you befriend him a little."

As the two were talking, Carl's phone rang suddenly.

"Alright, you can sign the contract with peace of mind now. Headquarters will send over a memorandum later to put this in writing."

"Oh! That's great, you still remember me." Just as Li Xiang was about to say a few flattering words, Karl interrupted him.

"How many more days can you stay in New York, kid?"

"Three days should be enough to finalize the endorsement contract and secure the money before anything else."

"The group will send two bags over within those three days."

"Bags?" Li Xiang muttered to himself. Chanel only gave away two bags as gifts?

Can it be discounted even further?

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to hear his skepticism: "What's wrong with bags? Do you think Chanel doesn't have anything decent to offer?"

"Oh? Is there anything special about this bag?"

"This time, I'm asking you to bring the Chanel Diamond Forever, also known as the Eternal Diamond CF bag."

"It's a design I created in 2008, and only thirteen pieces were made worldwide."

"Only thirteen..."

"Shut up, you brat, and listen to me."

"Oh, then please go ahead."

"This bag is not for sale. Apart from the five stored in the Kangpeng Street archives, do you know who has the remaining seven?"

"The Princess of Qatar, the Queen of Jordan, the Saudi Princess, and Princess Lorene of Morocco..."

"Now, do you still think it's beneath you to give this as a gift?"

So it was a luxury item only, Li Xiang could only agree and say, "Enough, enough, enough. Such a nice thing, why don't you just give it to me?"

"Give it to you? Even I can't make that decision."

"If they hadn't known you were going to visit the Ambani family of Reliance Industries, the group would never have brought it out."

"There's another one, specially reserved for his daughter, made entirely of 200 grams of pure gold with an openwork design."

"As for your outfit for this trip to India, it will be sent over as well, but don't even think about trying to have your cake and eat it too."

"Okay, I have something to do here, let's talk later..."

Before Li Xiang could ask what those words meant, Carl quickly hung up the phone.

Li Xiang could only look at Anna, asking with a puzzled expression, "What does 'two ways of cooking a fish' mean?"

Anna explained casually, "What I mean is, I don't want you to bring Bulgari items along with the delivery."
