Chapter 209: Chapter 210: Change Color Upon Hearing The Name

Li Li also participated in the shoot this time, which was strange considering a person who didn’t even join the post-production promotion could still come to take such important photos, yet Dong Qiin exactly agreed to it.

After He Jinxia got in the car, she turned her head indifferently and watched Li Li talking to Wu Daxi outside the car, and she read Li Li’s lips.

Li Li: "They finish so quickly, are they really shooting properly? Even when I shoot for third-rate magazines, it’s not this quick."

He Jinxia’s eyebrows rose, was this a question of their professional standards?

She turned her head away, deciding not to look at Li Li anymore, her eyes settling into a calm depth.

Once inside the magazine headquarters, she saw other models, distributed across different photography studios, guessing that Fengshang wouldn’t just use their photos.

With their current relevance, Fengshang was likely just having them make up the numbers, then piggybacking on the movie’s popularity.

That’s how the entertainment circle works; if your status isn’t high and your popularity is on fire, the spoils of victory are easily picked by those higher up.

If you don’t want others to so blatantly piggyback on your heat, then you must climb up, climb until those people have to think twice and ask if they can piggyback, fearing they might offend anyone.

However, Dong Qiin was also very shrewd and wouldn’t let Fengshang piggyback off the heat for nothing, without the production team gaining anything. After all, Fengshang had a bigger status in the circle, so even if they got piggybacked on, they could still reap many benefits.

Time quickly passed, and on May 25th, twenty-five days after the movie’s release, Fengshang officially published its issue!

Perhaps the 25th was indeed a good day, as not only did Fengshang release, but it also gave a strong boost to the already flagging popularity of "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!"

At the same time, a first-rate, longstanding variety show "Today’s Hot News" also aired the episode featuring the crew, yet another divine assist!

Fengshang was scheduled to publish at eight in the morning, and many socialites got their hands on the magazine, quickly flipping through it to see what elements were trending for the coming fall.

The fashion world is always ahead of real life; watching autumn in summer, winter in fall, spring in winter...

As those people flipped through, they came across Fengshang’s special issue celebrating the "Worker’s Day" at its headquarters.

The boring work uniforms weren’t much to look at, and the models’ appearances didn’t hit the beautiful standard, so the socialites browsed past them and continued flipping until they reached the work attire of the members from Chen Xiaohui’s crew, where they paused for a while.

One socialite extended her meticulously cared-for finger and tapped the magazine, saying indifferently, "Her face is passable, but her body proportions are not suitable for modeling. Just the face is worth looking at."

Her finger pointed out the images of Wu Daxi and Li Li.

Another socialite curiously glanced over and saw it was those two, and lazily commented with disinterest, "Oh, those two. Wu Daxi’s face is tolerable, but Li Li, you can tell she’s surgically enhanced, ugly as sin."

Hearing this, another socialite’s brows furrowed slightly: "Li Li, that girl from the Li Family, huh? Why does a decent girl insist on staying in such a place as the entertainment circle?" Her words expressed a profound disdain for the entertainment industry.

This group of socialites gathered in a high-end VIP lounge, their faces painted with exquisite makeup, decked in international designer brands, any one piece not dropping below four figures.

Their leisure time consisted of gathering to play cards and discussing interesting topics from daily life, including a wealth of celebrity gossip they could recount.

The magazine continued to be flipped through until He Jinxia’s work attire appeared.

He Jinxia was dressed in a modern, sharply cut work attire, wearing silver sunglasses, the bone structure of her cheeks sharp and distinct, giving off a cold metallic vibe. She resembled a robot, fully embodying the designer’s futuristic imagination for work attire.

A lady of high society raised her eyebrows and began, "He Jinxia seems quite nice, tall and well-proportioned, perfect material for a model."

Speaking of He Jinxia, another lady chimed in, "I have a friend who heard that the editor-in-chief of Charming Women really admires her and wanted to invite her to become a resident model for the magazine, but she was turned down."

Yet another lady added, "I heard that Tony even went to do her makeup, as her exclusive makeup artist."

The other ladies, upon hearing this, expressed their surprise and hurriedly asked, "Tony became her exclusive makeup artist?"

Tony’s makeup skills were superb, and he was known for his witty and humorous personality. Although he was gay, it was precisely because of this that he was trustworthy. Many high society ladies liked to have him do their makeup and confide in him.

In the circles of high society, Tony was famously known as a friend to the ladies!

Many had tried to employ Tony as their exclusive makeup artist, but none had succeeded. And yet, He Jinxia had managed it!

One of the ladies, with a hint of contemplation in her eyes, said lightly,

"Tony isn’t short of money, he cherishes freedom and has ambitions, and money alone won’t sway him, so He Jinxia, despite her wealth, can’t be wealthier than us. She must have promised Tony something related to his professional goals."

The other ladies, having heard this, grew a bit curious about He Jinxia. Someone asked, "He Jinxia hasn’t had plastic surgery, right? I heard she wildly shed eighty pounds in a few months, completely transforming herself. Do you think that’s possible?"

They spent millions every year to care for their bodies and prevent weight gain. With no side effects, they could only lose about twenty to thirty pounds at most—anything more would require medical intervention.

Of course, this was under the premise that they weren’t willing to endure hardships and just wanted to lose fat while lying down.

"It’s true,"

Came the reply from another woman, "This film was produced by the young lady from the Dong Family. The nutritionist Xiao Tiantian was hired to help He Jinxia lose weight. With Xiao Tiantian’s help, He Jinxia was able to lose so much."

Upon mentioning Xiao Tiantian, the faces of the others changed slightly.

Xiao Tiantian’s reputation was also well-established in the circles of high society. Specializing in business with the wealthy in Huaxia, she was well-recognized among the few patrons in the circle.

However, unlike Tony who was celebrated as a "friend to the ladies", Xiao Tiantian’s reputation was somewhat more daunting.

The fame she had was enough to send shivers down the spines of high society ladies—the notoriously awful and hard-to-drink Slimming Juice!

Xiao Tiantian, who holds advanced degrees and is an experienced nutrition expert, didn’t diverge from nutritional matching, but rather showed a trend of evolving into a maniacal genius in crafting "slimming" concoctions.

Those who loved her, adored the outstanding results after drinking her Slimming Juice—and it didn’t rebound, no rebound at all!

Even though a cup of Slimming Juice started at four figures...

Those who hated her, detested the taste of her Slimming Juice, especially her recently introduced new product "Bitter Gourd Laxative Juice," which tasted as if one had swallowed shit (beep—).

It was explosively disgusting, and no amount of crying, making a fuss, or threatening suicide by the high society ladies could persuade Xiao Tiantian to improve the taste of the Slimming Juice.

Some ladies bought the Slimming Juice and added something to enhance its flavor, hehe, and the Slimming Juice lost its effectiveness entirely, no effect whatsoever.

Perhaps even the heavens detested the miraculous effect of the Slimming Juice, which allowed one to randomly lose two or three pounds per serving with no side effects, and so it was cursed with the "super disgusting" taste.
