Chapter 266: Chapter 266: The benefits should not benefit outsiders

"We’re planning to invite the ’National Sweetheart’ Ye Wumei to be our spokesperson, Fang Bai, what do you think?"

Although Xia Chenyu had already made a decision with Su Yifei, she still wanted to seek Fang Bai’s opinion.

"I also think it’s more appropriate to invite Ye Wumei as the spokesperson."

Fang Bai nodded and said.

Su Yifei sighed and said, "The only problem is that Ye Wumei isn’t easy to invite! I checked last time and found that Ye Wumei hasn’t endorsed any products since her debut. We’ve offered her an endorsement fee of fifty million, but there’s still no response from her side... If she ends up refusing, we’ll have to invite someone else."

Fang Bai hadn’t expected that Ye Wumei had never endorsed any products, but thinking about the financial power of the Ye Family, she wouldn’t have needed to endorse products to earn money, and if it weren’t for her love for singing, maybe she wouldn’t even attend performances.

"How about this, I’ll give Ye Wumei a call and talk to her."

As he spoke, Fang Bai took out his phone, found Ye Wumei’s number, and dialed it straight away.

"No way, Fang Bai, do you know Ye Wumei?"

Xia Chenyu gazed at Fang Bai with her big, beautiful eyes, asking incredulously.

"Hmm, she’s a friend, I guess!"

Fang Bai put the phone to his ear and said with a smile.

Su Yifei appeared skeptical and asked, "Really? As far as I know, Ye Wumei has always been very reserved and seldom makes friends with the opposite sex... How do you know her?"

"Hello... is this Fang Bai?"

Before Fang Bai could answer, the phone was already connected, and a heavenly and melodious voice came through the receiver, filled with joy and excitement.

This heavenly voice belonged to the "National Sweetheart" Ye Wumei.

At the time Ye Wumei received Fang Bai’s call, she was in the living room of a villa in Zhongzhou City, chatting with a close girlfriend and preparing to head to Yanjing for a major philanthropic charity auction.

"Wumei, whose call is it?"

Seeing Ye Wumei’s excited and thrilled expression when she saw the number displayed on the phone, her girlfriend couldn’t help asking.

"A friend..."

Ye Wumei replied offhandedly, then holding the phone, she ran out to the green lawn outside the villa to take the call.

"It’s me."

It had been a while since Fang Bai had met with Ye Wumei, and hearing her voice warmed his heart slightly. He gently asked, "Wumei, have you been busy lately?"

"Not too busy, but I’m not sitting idle... Fang Bai, are you calling my cell for something important?"

Ye Wumei knew Fang Bai was busy and that he seldom contacted her unless there was something important.

At this thought, Ye Wumei felt a tinge of melancholy and slight grievance. After all, how could she not, being a mega-star and beauty adored by many? A mere wave of her hand could prompt countless men willing to go through fire and water for her, so why couldn’t she attract Fang Bai’s attention?

This made Ye Wumei feel depressed and even insecure about her looks and figure.

However, when they were together, Ye Wumei could still feel that Fang Bai actually liked her a bit, it was just that his personality was low-key and reserved, not fervently expressive like other men.

What Ye Wumei wished for the most was to receive calls from Fang Bai every day, and then just chat simply about life and work, sharing happy and interesting stories, instead of only talking about cultivation.

If Fang Bai could say a few sweet nothings to make the girl happy after they finished their calls, that would be even better.

Of course, Ye Wumei knew this was just a wishful thought, and she really hoped this wish could become reality.

"Well, I do have something I need your help with..."

As if they were connected by telepathy, sensing the grievance and melancholy on Ye Wumei’s end, Fang Bai’s voice became even softer and he said, "Wumei, it’s been a while since we last met, right? If you have time, I’d like to treat you to a meal."

"It’s a deal!"

Upon hearing that Fang Bai wanted to treat her to a meal, Ye Wumei’s eyes sparkled with joy, and the slight grievance and melancholy she had felt were immediately cast aside, as she sweetly asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Here’s the thing..."

In just a few words, Fang Bai explained how Beauty Company wanted to invite her to endorse their products and concluded with, "The reason I want you to endorse our product is firstly because you have a great image, excellent temperament, and huge popularity; secondly, ’it’s better to keep the benefits within our own circle’—I’d rather let you earn this money than someone else!"

He paused and then said, "Of course, whether you take this endorsement is up to you—you don’t have to agree out of consideration for me."

The praise of being "beautiful" and having an "excellent temperament" was something Ye Wumei had heard countless times since her debut, almost to the point of growing calluses on her ears, but now, hearing it from Fang Bai, she was overjoyed and thrilled.

Especially the phrase "it’s better to keep the benefits within our own circle," which made Ye Wumei extremely happy; it showed that Fang Bai already regarded her as someone very close to him.

"I know about Beauty Company; it’s a rising beauty company with a strong presence recently. I never thought you would be one of the shareholders... Since you’ve said ’it’s better to keep the benefits within our own circle,’ how could I refuse?"

"So you’re saying you agree?"

"Of course! But there’s no need for so much endorsement money, just give a nominal amount—that will do!"

Although Ye Wumei was a top superstar in Huaxia’s entertainment industry with undeniable influence, an endorsement fee of fifty million was still a bit excessive for her.

Fang Bai laughed and said, "I heard you never endorse any products before, so it’s our honor to have you represent us. Forget about fifty million; even a hundred million wouldn’t be too much!"

Ye Wumei said coyly, "You are my lifesaver and taught me Ancient Martial; even without a penny, I would still be willing to endorse your products!"

Fang Bai said, "Let’s talk about the endorsement fee when you come to Zhongzhou City later. Discuss it with President Xia and Eldest Young Master Su then."

Ye Wumei said, "I’m already in Zhongzhou City! I have nothing else to do, so why don’t I go talk to them now?"

Fang Bai was surprised and then said, "It’s quite a coincidence, I’m in Zhongzhou too, talking with President Xia and Eldest Young Master Su right now. Come over, and we’ll have lunch together."

"Ah, you’re in Zhongzhou City?"

Ye Wumei was overjoyed, almost jumping with excitement, "When did you come back? You’re not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? You know where the headquarters of Beauty Company is, right? We’re waiting for you here!"

"Great, I’ll be there in half an hour!"

After ending the call, Ye Wumei rushed back to the villa’s living room, greeted her bestie, and boarded a black bulletproof business car with four family bodyguards, two men and two women, heading straight for the headquarters of Beauty Company.
