Chapter 454
Gao Jiaming knew there was nothing he could say to change Nan Chen’s mind.
He had always known that Nan Chen was like a king due to the Nan family’s status and power. As
such, there was nothing he could do but concede defeat.
However, what Nan Chen was demanding of him now was an impossible task! No matter what he did,
there was no way he would be able to do what the other man wanted.
Channing was a recently founded sub-brand of an established luxury goods brand. It was named after
the favorite daughter of the founder.
That was why Channing was a brand that was both high-end and youthful. Their target audience was
the younger clients who had the capability to buy luxury products.
For this reason, thepany specially requested that the spokesperson had to be young but really
famous. Whoever it was had to be influential not only in China but all of Asia, maybe even the world.
Yet, Ding Mi was just a neer in the industry. The TV drama she starred in had only just been
released recently. Although the ratings were great, that did not change the fact that she was new. She
had a long way to go before bing a superstar.
Besides, he had already contacted Ye Meng. How could he just rece her with a little-known
neer!
“Sir Chen, I’m afraid I can’t do this business with you anymore. I’m sorry. There’s just no way I can
change the spokesperson to Ding Mi. Please don’t me me for this. I’m just an advertising agency,
not the productpany itself. I have to take into consideration their opinions on this matter.”
Nan Chen’s voice was calm as he replied, “I know.”
“Then why are you still making this impossible demand? I can’t do it! I’m sorry, Sir Chen. I really want to
do this but I just can’t. It’s out of my control.”
“Just go back and draw up that contract. Come again tomorrow.” Nan Chen waved his hand in a clear
gesture of dismissal.
“Fine.” Feeling like he had said all he could, Gao Jiaming left without another word.
As he exited the office and waited for the elevator, dejection swept over him.
He had originally nned on using Nan Chen’s rtionship with Ning Ran to sign her up before she
actually became famous. He had never expected he would fail so miserably. Now, it looked like he had
even pissed off Nan Chen as well. Unfortunately, he really did not have a choice. He could not do as
the other man wanted no matter how much he wished to.
The elevator arrived and he stepped inside. Just then, his phone rang.
Checking the caller ID, he saw it was the CEO of Channing’s Asia Division, Roger.
“Good day, Sir. What can I do for you?”
“Mr. Gao, do you know thepany Star Entertainment?” Roger asked in weird, ented Chinese.
“Yes, I do. It’s an entertainmentpany under Nanshi Corporation.”
“Then do you know an artist called Ding Mi?”
Gao Jiaming’s heart skipped a beat. Ding Mi again? How does Roger know about her?
“Yes.”
“We want her and Ms. Ye Meng to be the spokespersons for Channing.”
Gao Jiaming’s jaw gaped wide open, wondering if he had misheard. “What did you say, Sir?”
“We want Ms. Ye Meng to endorse the handbags and clothing while Ms. Ding Mi endorses the jewelry.
You should also shoot some promotional videos with both of them together.”
This time, Gao Jiaming was certain of what he had heard. Roger had specifically requested for Ding Mi
to do the jewelry advertisements!
His was really surprised as Channing’s main product was actually jewelry. The handbag and clothing
lines had only been developed recently, which meant they were not as well-known.
Yet now they requested a neer like Ding Mi to promote their jewelry. Meanwhile, the female
superstar, Ye Meng, only got to promote their clothing line! This waspletely unexpected!

“Sir, I feel obligated to remind you of something. While Ms. Ding is indeed very beautiful, she’s actually
not very famous right now.”
“We know,” was Roger’s simple reply.
“Then may I ask why?” Gao Jiaming was truly curious why Channing would make such a decision.
“We’re hoping to further strengthen our business rtionship with Nanshi Corporation. They
rmended her to us and threatened to terminate all contracts with us if we refused. You have to
sign this contract immediately! The sooner the better!”
In truth, Gao Jiaming had already guessed as much. He just wanted confirmation from Roger.
“I understand, Sir.”
After hanging up, Gao Jiaming headed back toward Nan Chen’s office, nning on telling him the good
news.
Then, he remembered what Nan Chen had said earlier. Obviously, the other man had already known
that this would work out.
Everything is within his control. No wonder he told me to draw up the contract now! As expected of the
amazing Sir Chen!
...
Ning Ran received a call from thepany, telling her to get there as soon as possible. To her
surprise, Wang Xiaoou gave her a hug.
Wang Xiaoou had always been a calm woman who rarely did such impulsive actions. Thus, Ning Ran
was dumbfounded at her strange action.
“Ou, you’re scaring me. What is it? What happened?” Ning Ran queried.
“Great news! Wonderful news! You’re about to start working on your first advertisement!” Wang Xiaoou
was practically dancing with joy.
A wide smile split Ning Ran’s face. “Really? What kind of advertisement?”
“Mr. Gao from the advertising agency came earlier and said it was an underwear advertisement.”
Ning Ran frowned when she heard that. “Will I have to reveal a lot of my body?”
“But somebody rejected it!”
“Who? Who caused me to lose my first advertisement?” Ning Ranmented.
“It was Sir Chen. He turned down that contract.”
Sighing, Ning Ran muttered, “So it was him. Never mind. I don’t want to expose so much of myself
either. If any of my elders or kids saw that, it would be so awkward!”
“However, you have another advertisement!”
“Oh, there’s more?”
Wang Xiaoou grinned and suggested eagerly, “Guess what it is!”
“Hmm, cosmetics?”
“Nope!”
“Daily necessities? Dish detergents?”
“No! It’s Channing’s jewelry!”
Ning Ran was stunned. After a few seconds, she shook her head in denial. “That’s impossible! Ou, you
don’t have to say that to cheer me up. Channing’s jewelry is the hottest jewelry around now. Their
jewelry products are extraordinarily expensive. There’s no way such a luxurious brand would hire me to
endorse their products!”
“I admit I have the same thoughts as you when I first heard about it. But that’s really the truth! I heard
the female superstar, Ye Meng, was supposed to be the spokesperson at first. But then they moved her
to endorse the clothing while you got the jewelry. You two will even get a chance to work together on a
promotional video! Just by working with her, your worth is going to sky-rocket! Isn’t this such a
wonderful surprise? Aren’t you excited?”
Ning Ran jumped with joy. “Are you serious? Are you really telling me that such a marvelous thing has
happened to me?”
“Yes!”
“That’s fantastic! Thank you, Ou! I’m so grateful to thepany for giving me this opportunity!” Ning
Ran pulled the other woman into a tight hug.
Wang Xiaoou reminded, “Do your best on this, okay? One thing you need to be careful of is Ye Meng.
She’s known for having quite a temper on her. Make sure not to offend her.”
Ning Ran promised, “Don’t worry. She’s a superstar while I’m just a neer to the scene. I know
better than to piss her off.”
“Good. I’m going to be out of the country for the next two days. I think it might be better if Cheng
Xiangyun apanies you to the shoots. Contact me immediately if there are any problems.”
“Okay, I got it, Ou. Thank you so much!”
