The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 103

The stylist's heart relaxed, but she quickly became puzzled. "Happy Adulthood? Is this a gift for your 18th birthday?"

Wasn't it said that Mr. Chi celebrated his 22nd birthday a few months ago?

When Chi Qingzhou was found by the Chi family, wasn't he 19 years old? How could this watch be a gift for his coming-of-age birthday?

Chi Qingzhou didn't seem to find anything strange. He still wore that natural, matter-of-fact expression.

"It's for my 19th. My younger brother said that when I came of age, I hadn't returned home yet, unlike him and my older brother, who both had their coming-of-age ceremonies. I never received a coming-of-age gift, so he wanted to make it up to me."

As he said this, Chi Qingzhou smiled, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes curving, giving off a naive and innocent vibe.

"This was the first gift I received after returning home, so of course, it's very special."

The makeup artist hadn't seen the front of the watch, but upon seeing Chi Qingzhou's expression, although she thought Chi Qingning's actions might have been a bit showy, she didn't want to undermine Chi Qingzhou. She smiled gently.

"It's great that Mr. Chi likes it."

The stylist thought for a moment, remembering the details of the watch's dial. She recalled that this limited-edition commemorative model had been released five years ago, and all the watches in that batch had colorless diamonds embedded in the hands.

Three years ago, VN released a batch of replica models, making some small modifications, so the diamonds on the hands turned into blue diamonds.

She immediately believed what Chi Qingzhou said, her heart filled with disdain for Chi Qingning.

It was one thing to show off to the recently found real young master that he had held a coming-of-age ceremony, but to purposely give someone a counterfeit item?

This green tea*—could it be that he thought Chi Qingzhou had a soft heart, that he would definitely wear the gift, and he intentionally tricked him?

(*"Green tea" (绿茶, lǜ chá) is a Chinese slang term used to describe someone who pretends to be innocent, pure, or sweet, but is actually manipulative or deceitful behind the scenes. It's often used to describe someone who acts as if they are harmless or virtuous, but has ulterior motives, similar to the concept of playing the "sweet and innocent" role to gain favor or manipulate others.

So when the character refers to someone as "green tea," they are implying that person is pretending to be kind or innocent but is actually being sneaky or underhanded.)

This kind of person truly has a heart as dark as coal and more schemes than coal itself.

After today's work was done, when she got back, she'd definitely gossip with her circle of girl friends!

The stylist adjusted Chi Qingzhou's cuffs, took the watch box, and left the dressing room with him.

As they walked out, she casually asked, "Actor Chi, didn't your manager come with you?"

Chi Qingzhou replied, "He went to find Secretary Li."

Secretary Li was the secretary of the CEO of Zhenji.

The stylist was taken aback, and her conviction that her decision was right grew stronger.

She'd better personally hand the watch to Guan Xihua later and take the chance to remind him.

Chi Qingzhou looked at her with admiration. "You're really dedicated."

The stylist laughed a couple of times, feeling her nerves relax a little.

Director Sun, who was in charge of the ad shoot, was squatting by the edge of the set, a lollipop in his mouth, chewing absentmindedly.

His smoking habit was acting up, but since he couldn't smoke in the company, he was just using this to ease the craving.

When he saw Chi Qingzhou walking out of the dressing room, he stood up and gave him a quick once-over, a frown forming on his face.

What should he say?

Chi Qingzhou's look was indeed good, and he was handsome, but the vibe...

It was a bit too innocent, almost too harmless.

Director Sun clicked his tongue, his chewing slowing down.

Three days ago, when the CEO had introduced Chi Qingzhou to him, he'd already felt that this vibe wasn't really right for the Frost Blade series.

But then he had heard from a friend that Chi Qingzhou's acting was really good, so he hadn't objected at the time.

Later, he checked out Chi Qingzhou's livestream replays and music videos and found that his acting was indeed great. When he got into action, his presence was even stronger.

That kind of vibe—it was like everything was under his control, and no matter what happened, just seeing him would make you feel incredibly reassured.

But that kind of vibe was calm and steady, which still didn't quite match the Frost Blade series.

"Mr. Chi..." he said vaguely, "Right now, your vibe is a little too obedient. What I'm looking for is more like..."

He paused, unsure how to describe it, then waved his hand, signaling for the stylist to bring the Frost Blade series watch to Chi Qingzhou.

"Have you looked into the design concept of this series, Mr. Chi?"

"I've seen the materials."

Chi Qingzhou nodded. He was still quite dedicated to his work, and anything he needed to understand, he'd studied it.

The reason the new series of watches from Zhenji was named Frost Blade was because it reflected the concept of a blade covered in frost.

The overall design of the watches in the series was simple and sleek, with sharp, flowing lines, elegant and poised but still full of vitality and rhythm.

The designer hoped to express that youthful, ambitious feeling through the design, and Zhenji naturally wanted the ad to capture that vibe.

Director Sun was pleased with Chi Qingzhou's attitude. "Just put the watch on first, get a feel for it."

Chi Qingzhou took the starlight black watch, put it on, and adjusted his cuffs.

"No, no, no, wait! Don't button the cufflinks!" Director Sun quickly spat out the lollipop, pointing at the stylist to help Chi Qingzhou roll his sleeves up. "Make the sleeves look natural, expose his wrist and half of his forearm, make it look casual, got it?"

The stylist followed the instruction, quickly achieving the vibe Director Sun wanted.

Director Sun was satisfied and put the lollipop back in his mouth. "Good."

He looked up again and saw Chi Qingzhou's obedient expression, and his gums tingled with discomfort.

"Ah, Mr. Chi, it doesn't feel right. What I want is that kind of feeling, that kind of vibe, you know?"

He waved his right hand vigorously, pointing at the ceiling, his face full of excitement, his words flying out of his mouth.
