Chapter 230: Chapter 231: Must be a Little Angel Sent from Heaven

He Jinxia quickly shook her head, "No need, Sister Xiao Hua is enough for me. Sister Xiao Hua was with me the whole time, except when I was sleeping. That person only took the opportunity to approach me when I was auditioning. There’s no need to go so far as to hire another bodyguard."

Seeing Sheng Yan still frowning with concern, He Jinxia added, "Besides, I’m not that big of a star. Hiring an extra bodyguard would be too much anyway. Plus, I have a personal trainer. If you’re still worried, I’ll have my personal trainer follow me around."

After much persuasion, Sheng Yan finally agreed to He Jinxia’s suggestion.

The two chatted for a while longer and then ended the call, each going off to rest.

Perhaps that’s what love is like. When you first meet, it’s all passion and fervor. Both parties can’t wait to keep the video call on even while sleeping. Once past that initial phase, things tend to settle into routine.

It’s a routine tinged with bits of warmth that may not be filled with passion and might even be a little monotonous, but that’s the norm in life. Some learn to find joy in the mundane, while others never manage to.

For He Jinxia, as long as Sheng Yan was there, it was as if she was protected by a shield. This person could accept all of her, allowing her to fearlessly do the things she enjoyed.

If she were to charge forward sword in hand, then Mr. Sheng would definitely be the armor she wore.

He Jinxia took great pleasure in this kind of peaceful and secure feeling. Only this way could there be a chance of staying together until old age...

Lost in thought, she patted her face and turned over in bed, soon drifting off to sleep.

The next day, Jinxia dressed all in black, with a black hat, black mask, and black clothes, fully equipped and in high spirits as she arrived at the designated location—a multi-story office building. "Feier" sports equipment had offices on the third and fourth floors.

This meeting was to be a secret negotiation. Regardless of what "Feier" thought, Jinxia had decided to keep a low profile and confidentiality for the whole process.

With the recent burst of popularity from "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!", her every move was being monitored by the media. It was hard to dodge the media for a secret meeting, but thankfully not too challenging for Luo You.

They decided to proceed cautiously because, if Jinxia could secure this endorsement deal, it would be a win-win situation for both parties, no matter if someone snapped pictures of the meeting or not.

However, if Jinxia didn’t secure the endorsement and someone photographed and reported it, there was a fear that certain individuals might make a big fuss about it. If the hype was too great and she didn’t get the deal, it would lead to mocking and face-slapping.

In the internet era, marketing and counter-marketing are used to perfection. Not only do stars pay for positive articles about themselves, but they also buy articles about other stars to diminish their popularity with the general public.

He Jinxia had suffered from this, but fortunately, due to her strong positive reputation, she bravely persevered, and her fame and popularity continued to rise.

Upon reaching the third floor, a dedicated receptionist was already waiting by the door.

It was a woman dressed in a smart work attire, glancing around at the entrance. After a moment’s thought, He Jinxia approached her and asked, "Hello, are you waiting for me?"

The woman didn’t recognize He Jinxia’s face but did recognize her voice. She immediately nodded, her eyes shining with excitement, "That’s right, Fat Emperor, please follow me."

As she led the way, she stole glances at He Jinxia from the corner of her eyes, filled with regret that Fat Emperor was wearing a mask!

She had worked hard to land the task of leading the guest, solely to catch a glimpse of Fat Emperor’s real face, yet she was wearing a mask. Alas, the legendary beauty of Shengshi would remain unseen.

When they arrived at their destination, the staff member stood in front of the door, hesitating and clutching the signboard in her arms, uncertainly gazing at He Jinxia.

He Jinxia was about to push the door open when she noticed from the corner of her eye and paused, asking gently, "Would you like my autograph?"

The person nodded eagerly and handed over the prepared signboard and black pen.

After signing, He Jinxia returned the board to her, thought for a moment, and then gave her a big hug, explaining softly, "I didn’t put on makeup before coming out today, so it’s not convenient to take photos. Perhaps we can do it another time."

The staff member nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with redness from overwhelming excitement.

Wow, the Fat Emperor not only gave her an autograph but also hugged her, how could he be so approachable—she just wanted to scream!

Excitedly, she said, "Fat Emperor, keep it up, you’ll surely clinch this endorsement!"

As an insider and their guide, she had known in advance what the Fat Emperor was here for today; frankly, she thought his image matched Feier’s concept perfectly.

There aren’t many female celebrities that meet Feier’s criteria and are also very popular, but the Fat Emperor is the best choice among them.

He Jinxia’s eyes curved into a smile, and she replied, "I’ll take your auspicious words to heart," before pushing the door open and walking in.

After she went in, the staff member couldn’t contain her excitement and shared He Jinxia’s autographed picture in He Jinxia’s fan group, eliciting envy from everyone.

[Not only did Jinxia give an autograph, she also gave a hug. She spoke so kindly and gently, not putting on any celebrity airs at all. It’s a shame she wasn’t available for photos today, otherwise I’d even have a selfie with her!]

[Wow, I’m so jealous when will Jinxia hold a fan meeting I want to see her.]

[I also want to +1]

[Where did Fat Emperor go, any new announcements or schedules, by the way, wasn’t Fat Emperor supposed to promote "Chen Xiaohui" today, she was absent though!]

[Why is Fat Emperor so laid-back, geared up both individual fan pages and groups but then doesn’t open up for support, we want to do our part but can’t, boo hoo hoo, if there was support, maybe I could have met Fat Emperor!]

[Support is out of the question now, I guess Fat Emperor will never let us do it in her lifetime. Someone already asked her agent, and the agent said Fat Emperor doesn’t want us to spend money, just to keep that love in our hearts for her work.]]

[Alas, so disinterested, why not try harder, earning money from fans is the easiest, yet Fat Emperor doesn’t take it, it’s like wanting to splash out but having nowhere to throw it...]

[This, some girl said there’s going to be an event showing off report cards, a few random people might get personal encouragement from Fat Emperor, otherwise, shall we... hit the books hard lately??]

...

All of the above are the daily styles found in fan groups.

Cheng Xiaohua watched the fans’ conversation with an amused smile, finding it interesting that, unlike other stars who goad fans into spending money, He Jinxia was motivating them to study hard and work diligently.

All of this guidance came with Jinxia’s express consent, which is why Cheng Xiaohua steered them this way.

She clicked her tongue, shaking her head slightly and remarked, "Jinxia must be a little angel sent by heaven."

In the car, Luo You heard her sigh and couldn’t help but sigh as well, "Angel? More like a demon. She’s the most unconventional artist I’ve ever seen."

Cheng Xiaohua said with a smile, "But Jinxia is very well-behaved!"

Luo You: "That’s about the only good thing."

He spoke in a calm voice, though his lips were slightly turned up.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaohua secretly clicked her tongue, thinking to herself that Luo You was also one to say one thing and mean another; there were times she didn’t know how much he doted on Jinxia, frequently calling her on set to make sure Jinxia was being cared for properly, more nagging than an aunt.
