Chapter 468: The 459th Cloud Brand Ambassador

After Jiang Lingxi hung up the call from Tong Yue, she called Lu Zhengzheng and Changning to go to sleep. Tong Yue, however, stayed awake till dawn, too restless to sleep.

On the way to the office in the morning, she deliberately bought an extra strong black coffee, worried about feeling sleepy during the day.

As soon as she entered the company, before she could make it to her office, she was greeted with a somewhat insincere congratulations: "Congratulations, Sister Tong, for bagging the endorsement with Shanyue Zhiheng, that’s truly some skill."

Tong Yue looked up at Li Yuwen and immediately noticed the dark circles under her eyes. The concealer wasn’t working on the bluish-black marks, she must have had a rough night. Tong Yue humbly smiled and said, "Oh, it was all Lingxi’s skill that caught Shanyue Zhiheng’s eye."

To be honest, she didn’t dare take credit for this endorsement.

Li Yuwen found the smile on this person’s face exceedingly blinding!

She took a deep breath and continued, "President Shao wants to see you, go straight to his office."

She had specifically come over to Tong Yue’s office to relay this message.

And the reason she could relay the message was naturally because she had just come out of President Shao’s office.

Where she had gotten a reprimand!

With "Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting" becoming a hit, Jiang Lingxi gained millions of followers and landed the first endorsement since Shanyue Zhiheng’s brand was created.

Meanwhile, in the same company, participating in the same show, Jing Huai practically became Jiang Lingxi’s contrasting figure.

Failing to secure any endorsement was bad enough, but losing followers because of the show was unexpected even for her.

And trying to use this show to get in touch with Director Shi Changrui’s mother, to impress Director Shi on the show, Mr. Li was outright displeased with Jing Huai, from top to bottom, it was a lost cause to hope for Director Shi’s favor!

Li Yuwen still felt President Shao’s rebuke echoing in her ears.

"If you don’t have the skills, don’t take on such work."

"You don’t even know the capabilities of your artists, what do I need you as a manager for making their career plans?"

"Look at Tong Yue..."

She was thoroughly scolded, and then she was asked to notify Tong Yue.

There was no need to guess, this person must not be going to President Shao’s office for a scolding.

Jiang Lingxi became the spokesperson for Shanyue Zhiheng, and the company didn’t even provide much support; it was all achieved during her filming schedule.

She effortlessly overshadowed Jing Huai from every angle.

Yet, just a while ago, Tong Yue had to rely on her support!

Watching Tong Yue’s barely controlled, yet still smug expression, Li Yuwen felt her heart burning with anger.

"I’ll head over right now."

Tong Yue guessed President Shao was looking for her because of the announcement of Jiang Lingxi becoming Shanyue Zhiheng’s spokesperson last night; she headed over with her coffee.

As they passed by each other, Li Yuwen couldn’t hold back, "Now that Jiang Lingxi has become Shanyue Zhiheng’s spokesperson, she should qualify to attend the international fashion event, right? But Shanyue Zhiheng is still too young internationally, so the appearance order might be early on. Jing Huai should be later."

It’s widely known that at large international events like fashion showcases, there are some well-known unwritten rules.

One of them is even known to those outside the entertainment circle: the later the appearance, the more heavyweight it is, with the last being the top figures.

Conversely, those appearing early are those with less fame and experience, and they are not given much attention.

Even though Jiang Lingxi now has the spokesperson title for Shanyue Zhiheng, her own status is indeed not enough to appear later in the lineup.

Tong Yue had mentally prepared herself, so she wasn’t affected by Li Yuwen’s words, "You have to eat one bite at a time, if I became a fat person instantly, I’d be scared I couldn’t digest it. Oh, by the way, I saw some candid photos of your Jing Huai these days, didn’t look very well, and the fans were a bit worried. Only a month left for the fashion event, you really need to get adjusted."

Li Yuwen’s expression froze, her steps in high heels became hurried and disordered as she walked away.

Tong Yue cheerfully knocked on President Shao’s office door.

"Come in."

"President Shao, you called for me?"

"Ah, sit down. I called you over today mainly to discuss the future plans for Jiang Lingxi. You’re her manager, feel free to share your thoughts..."

Tong Yue’s mood improved even further.

The talk lasted almost an hour, and Tong Yue’s coffee was down to its dregs.

She stood up, "I’ll brief Lingxi when I get back. With the company and your strong support, she will get busier in the future, and she needs to be prepared for it."

Just as she finished speaking, both their phones on the table buzzed simultaneously.

Seeing President Shao already picking up his phone, Tong Yue also picked hers up. After unlocking it with facial recognition, a message popped up on the screen.

It’s from the special alert she set for Jiang Lingxi. When Jiang Lingxi posts a status or someone mentions her online, she receives a notification.

She opened it and saw a prominently highlighted super VIP account, one that requires over 300 million followers to use.

Yun Chan’s Yun V: Liangchuan fashion show was a complete success, thanks to @JiangLingxi for gracing the show’s grand finale. @ShenChuyue, quick to act, since she’s your spokesperson, she can’t refuse the Yun Brand Ambassador title either. @JiangLingxi, you deserve it!

Tong Yue felt her breath quicken.

For a moment, she even doubted her eyesight.

Yet right below this status, the official Yun account had just posted an edited video of the fashion show.

The event was about two hours long, but the edited highlights were around five to six minutes.

Both hands clicked play simultaneously.

The video started with the fashion show guests, aligned for the audience who might not recognize anyone from the fashion circle, thoughtfully with captions.

Although Tong Yue wasn’t part of the fashion industry, there’s a lot of overlap with the entertainment circle.

She couldn’t recognize others, but she immediately recognized the renowned fashion figure, Carlo, at first glance.

Of course, another reason was that Carlo was seated right next to her own artist.

Tong Yue touched her chest, which was beating like a drum.

Then came the model runway scenes, with a brief second or two of the camera scanning the audience, and she caught several glimpses of her artist and Carlo sharing the frame.

Approaching the end of the video, the camera once again scanned the audience, and Tong Yue noticed Jiang Lingxi’s seat was empty, only Carlo was left.

"Could it be?"

Her murmur caught the attention of President Shao, who glanced up at her.

When he looked down again, he understood Tong Yue’s surprise.

The person appearing in the video, seemingly walking the closing segment, was none other than Jiang Lingxi, whom they had discussed earlier!

The video ended with a freeze-frame of Yun Chan holding Jiang Lingxi’s hand, leading all the models in a curtain call.

A soft gasp filled the office, and Tong Yue, in a tone colored with awe, disbelief said, "Lingxi mentioned yesterday she went to watch a show for Yun Chan and saved the day, but she didn’t tell me she closed the show!"

President Shao: "... Is this announcement making Jiang Lingxi the Yun Brand Ambassador too?"

Tong Yue: "..."

The use of ’too’ was indeed very intriguing!
