The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 102

Chi Qingzhou nodded in understanding.

The system in his mind quietly asked, [So, Host, are you still accepting his task?]

Just a moment ago, when Xue Jinshi and Chi Qingzhou brushed past each other, System No. 16594 suddenly noticed a new slap-in-the-face task pop up in the backend.

The task is a bit different from the one with Qu Feng last time; it was more like the one where we slapped Song Yuzhi's face, but this time, there's an asterisk added at the end of the task.

The system looked carefully at the instructions, and the asterisk meant the task might have something to do with Xing Shuangzhan, but it was a probability-triggered event. Whether the task could be completed and whether the host could achieve the goal depended on the host's actions and luck.

It repeated the explanation and tactfully said, [Host, these types of descriptions usually have a catch. I've heard before, those who choose the second reward rarely let any opportunity slip by, and they also take on probability-based tasks, but you're lucky if one out of ten triggers.]

Chi Qingzhou asked, [Is he a flying guest on the next episode of "Scenery Along the Way"?]

[Ah??] The system was momentarily confused, [I don't know, the task didn't mention that.]

Chi Qingzhou said "Oh" and asked Guan Xihua, then spoke to the system, [Accept it.]

The system didn't dare to question Chi Qingzhou's decision and quickly accepted the task for him.

After Guan Xihua sent Chi Qingzhou to the makeup room, he went to talk to the secretary who had come to check on the situation.

With Chi Qingzhou's looks and physique, the makeup artist didn't find the job complicated at all.

The stylist brought over the clothes Chi Qingzhou was going to wear today and told him there was a small changing area he could use to change.

"Mr. Chi, don't worry. We at Zhenji value our artists' privacy, and there will be no cameras or recording devices in the changing area."

Chi Qingzhou didn't care at all about that, but he could feel the respect and friendliness from the staff, so he smiled and complimented them before going inside to change.

Seeing this, the makeup artist couldn't help but whisper to the stylist, "Mr. Chi's personality is quite nice. He's easy to get along with."

The stylist replied quietly, "I followed the livestream of the last episode of 'Scenery Along the Way' all the way through. He's really a good person. I feel like he's saved others more than twice, but he never brags about it."

She thought for a moment, then said seriously, "You know, I've never been good at describing things, but I think there's this... how do I put it, a kind of sharp, sword-like aura about him."

The makeup artist couldn't help but laugh, not mocking her, just saying, "Wasn't Director Sun worried that Mr. Chi wouldn't deliver the effect he wanted? I guess Mr. Chi will surprise him."

The stylist agreed wholeheartedly.

After a short wait, Chi Qingzhou came out of the changing room.

Zhenji had prepared a dark gray suit for him. The overall style was youthful, and the details included designs that incorporated traditional Chinese elements, giving it a uniquely harmonious classical beauty.

The stylist was quite impressed and noticed that the cuff of Chi Qingzhou's sleeve wasn't quite smooth. She quickly stepped forward to help adjust it.

She grabbed the sleeve of his left arm, unbuttoned the cuff of his shirt, and prepared to rebutton it for him.

Chi Qingzhou raised his arm to make it easier for her.

When he did, she noticed the watch on his left wrist. It was rather luxurious, and seemed to be a limited-edition model from the international blue-blooded brand VN.

She couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Chi, you're into wearing watches? You'll need to take this one off for now. You'll need to switch watches for the shoot later."

Chi Qingzhou obediently took off the watch and handed it to the stylist.

The stylist knew that VN's watches were very expensive, and if it got lost, she wouldn't be able to afford to replace it. So, she carefully held it, looking for a storage box.

The makeup room was well-lit, and as the stylist turned around, she happened to take the watch to the brightest spot.

Under the natural light, the watch's not-so-neatly made hollow dial was fully exposed, and the three blue diamonds embedded in the hands looked strange, almost like defective products soaked in dye.

The stylist froze for a moment. She instinctively raised the watch higher and took a closer look, only then daring to confirm that this was indeed a fake.

She was stunned.

In the industry, wearing fakes was a huge, huge mistake.

It was an act of tarnishing the brand's image, something that would deeply ruin a person's reputation.

Celebrities would get blacklisted by the entire fashion world, and they would no longer be able to borrow clothes, accessories, shoes, or anything from major brands, let alone secure endorsements or other resources.

The host, Qi Ming, who had caused trouble for Chi Qingzhou in the past with a similar fake watch incident, immediately came to mind.

The stylist's head was a mess, her heart racing. When she noticed the makeup artist glancing over curiously, she quickly lowered her hand.

She had a great impression of Chi Qingzhou and found it hard to believe that he had done this intentionally.

Moreover, since the CEO had given specific instructions regarding Chi Qingzhou, she didn't want to offend him. After a moment of confusion, she hurriedly put the watch in the box, closed the lid, and turned to smile at Chi Qingzhou.

"Mr. Chi, this watch is very well maintained. It looks like you really value it. Does it have any special meaning to you?"

Chi Qingzhou blinked and smiled, a little embarrassed.

"It's a birthday gift from my younger brother."

Younger brother?

The stylist and makeup artist thought for a moment. The term "younger brother" seemed to refer to... Chi Qingning, who had recently made headlines because of the fake heir incident.

He was still Chi's adopted son, so it made sense for Chi Qingzhou to call him his younger brother.

The stylist smiled subtly. "So it's a birthday gift from Mr. Chi Qingning."

Chi Qingzhou responded naturally, "Yes."

He took the box from the stylist, opened it, and took out the watch, flipping it over.

Apart from the simple model engraving, there were indeed four characters engraved on the back:

"Happy Adulthood."
