The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 100

This was a thank-you gift from Song Yuanzhi and the head of his family.

A sincere gift, one that could truly help raise his artist's profile.

The sincerity was indeed enough, and while Guan Xihua was shocked, he couldn't help but feel a bit of satisfaction.

When his artist had been attacked by the public, those stupid colleagues kept laughing at him, saying he had no eye for talent, that he had offended Chi Qingning just for Chi Qingzhou.

Now?

Those idiots must be regretting it so badly, right?

Guan Xihua said with a smirk, "Qingzhou, you really made it worth saving Song Yuanzhi! From the looks of it, he's totally fallen out with Chi Qingning now. All the resources that were given to Chi Qingning have been pulled back. Chi Qingning is definitely going to be mocked by people in the industry for a while!"

Du Huan clapped his hands with delight. "That's great! Brother Guan, you don't know, just now, Brother Chi went to visit Chi Qingning, and he was actually impatient with Brother Chi's concern, wanting him to leave as soon as possible. I was so pissed off when I saw that. What kind of person does that? Doesn't know a single thing about being grateful."

Guan Xihua stopped smiling. "What? He gave Qingzhou the cold shoulder again? He even pretends to be on good terms with Qingzhou in front of others, what a hypocrite!"

The system, hidden behind Chi Qingzhou's shadow, suddenly let out a laugh, full of self-mockery and a sense of superiority as someone who had seen it all.

Chi Qingzhou sighed, trying to calm the two. "My younger brother is a good kid, he's just not feeling well and wants to rest."

He thought for a moment, and then added, as the two exchanged speechless looks, "He promised to go to the temple for a prayer once his feet are healed. He's a good kid who listens to advice, so don't say such things about him."

Guan Xihua: "..."

Du Huan: "..."

The system: [Hahaha, I knew it!] It used an exaggerated tone, one it probably picked up from movies, rising and falling as it said, [Do you even know who you're talking to? This is the biggest Bodhisattva in this dimension!]

The kind of Bodhisattva who, when not acting, you'd want to go to the temple to build a lotus seat for them, but once they start moving, they could bring the heavens down and destroy the earth—ask yourself, are you scared?

Chi Qingzhou gave a faint smile, and the system immediately shut up.

Guan Xihua and Du Huan had nothing more to say, so they pretended not to hear what Chi Qingzhou had said and quickly changed the subject.

After the three had lunch together, Guan Xihua took Chi Qingzhou to the company for a simple styling and then drove to Zhenji Watch.

The endorsement contract negotiations went smoothly. The president of Zhenji Watch personally met with Chi Qingzhou, and the conditions offered were very favorable—

They actually chose the rare approach of combining still photos with video ads for the endorsement.

Although the president of Zhenji Watch clearly stated that the video ads would depend on the effectiveness of the endorsement, this was already enough to surprise Guan Xihua.

The process was completed amicably, and Chi Qingzhou signed his name on the contract.

The president of Zhenji Watch was very respectful. He didn't invite Chi Qingzhou to dinner but personally arranged for him to meet with the ad director and roughly finalize the filming schedule.

Before they left, he specifically told Guan Xihua, "This is my secretary. Mr. Guan, please exchange contact information with him. If Mr. Chi encounters any disrespectful people during the shoot, please let her know."

Guan Xihua absentmindedly agreed, exchanged contact details with the secretary, and didn't fully come to his senses until after leaving the Zhenji Watch building.

He glanced at his artist through the rearview mirror.

Chi Qingzhou had his head lowered, eating a pack of konjac sticks seriously.

Guan Xihua looked away in disbelief and asked, "Qingzhou, when the program team went silent, what exactly did you do? Why is the president of Zhenji Watch so... respectful to you?"

Chi Qingzhou looked up, a little confused, and said uncertainly, "I just drove away a bad person."

A bad person?

Guan Xihua took a moment to process this. Oh, it must have been that Zhu something, right?

He pondered for a while. "Seems like this person needs to do some good deeds. Good people always get rewarded."

Xing Shuangzhan laughed loudly from within Chi Qingzhou's shadow.

Chi Qingzhou paused his chewing, curved his eyes, and revealed a slightly ambiguous smile.

"True," he replied.

Zhenji Watch was very attentive about this collaboration. After Chi Qingzhou rested for three days at home, they had already set up the location and notified him to come for the shoot.

When Guan Xihua saw the materials they sent over, he was once again shocked.

There was no other reason—the design for both the still photos and the video ads was just too meticulous.

Guan Xihua immediately decided to accompany Chi Qingzhou for the entire shoot.

He briefed his other two artists, telling them that he was a little busy for the next couple of days and asked them to handle things themselves, calling him if anything came up.

The two artists repeatedly agreed, secretly envying Chi Qingzhou.

However, they all knew that it hadn't been easy for Chi Qingzhou to get to this point, so they felt only admiration, not jealousy.

One of them, from the talent show background, muttered, "Is this the benefit of being successful? Should I sign up for a martial arts class too, to improve myself?"

The other pondered for a moment, thinking it wasn't such a bad idea.

"What kind of martial arts class are you thinking about? We're getting older, so we probably can't learn the basics anymore. I wonder if those crash courses are any good."

The one from the talent show thought for a long time, then suddenly noticed an assistant passing by the door of the lounge. His eyes brightened.

"Brother Chi's assistant, the one named Du Huan—he's trained in Muay Thai, right? I looked it up, he even won a championship. We should ask him to teach us!"

The other one's eyes also lit up. "That sounds solid! He's a professional, he'll definitely know what he's doing. We can pay him tuition."

The two exchanged a glance and quickly pulled out their phones to text Du Huan.
