“Yaoxi, I have a jewelry endorsement for you. Do you have time to take it?”

Hearing Xiao Ye’s laughing voice from the other end of the phone, Chi Yaoxi couldn’t help but smile. “If you want my help, just say it. Don’t pretend to be polite.”

“But just to let you know, I won’t be your model for free. At most, I’ll give you a 50% discount.”

The man on the other end of the phone decisively agreed to this request and even made an affiliated invitation. “Yaoxi, since you’re the spokesperson of my newly invested jewelry company, then accompany me to a business banquet.” “Business banquet?” Chi Yaoxi subconsciously wanted to refuse. To be honest, she really did not like those kinds of occasions where she had to put on a show.

“Yes, a business banquet. This is the first business banquet I’ve attended since I returned to the country. If you don’t accompany me, I’ll get stage fright.” Chi Yaoxi hesitated for a moment when she heard the man’s coquettish voice. She could only agree. Who asked her to be loyal! After all, they were in the same trench back then, helping each other chase after the person they liked, eating barbecue and drinking together.

Although Chi Yaoxi did not like such occasions, since she had decided to go, she would not let herself lose to the other female celebrities who would be there.

Especially when Sister Ming knew that Chi Yaoxi had thought things through and decided to participate in such an event, she directly borrowed gowns from several luxury brands for Chi Yaoxi to choose from.

After all, apart from Chi Yaoxi, who was currently a popular female star, there were also many first-tier actresses and new female stars.

By that day, there would definitely be a lot of publicity. If they lost the battle, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Chi Yaoxi did not care much about this. She randomly picked a long dress with a slit that slightly accentuated her body lines. Whether it was the makeup or accessories, it was up to Sister Ming and the stylist to choose.

By the time she was done with her makeup, Chi Yaoxi had already slept and woke up. She yawned and picked up her handbag to get up.

The door to the dressing room opened, and her assistant smiled like a love-struck fool. “Yaoxi, who’s waiting outside the company? Is it your boyfriend? He’s so handsome!”

Eh? Chi Yaoxi was stunned. Boyfriend? Where did she get a boyfriend from? She had a legal husband.

However, based on Li Qianming’s personality, he probably wouldn’t run over in public with a peacock tail and let other women swoon over him. There was only one person who loved to show off—Xiao Ye.

Tsk. With this man around, she would definitely make the headlines tonight.

Sister Ming sighed. She could no longer control Chi Yaoxi. Whatever.

The news of Chi Yaoxi and the CEO of the newly endorsed jewelry company going to the banquet spread. The popularity was probably going to increase again. However, this was good as well. It could increase the popularity and exposure of the upcoming Best Actress Award.

Chi Yaoxi slowly carried her dress downstairs.

As soon as she stepped out of the company lobby, apart from the reporters who were crowding around, she saw a familiar figure not far away.

“Yaoxi!” Xiao Ye waved at Chi Yaoxi without any hesitation.

Because of his shout, the reporters’ cameras were aimed at him. However, Xiao Ye did not show any signs of stage fright. Instead, he smiled brightly at the camera.

When Chi Yaoxi saw him chatting and taking photos with the reporters like a fish in water, she could only sigh that it was a pity that this man did not enter the entertainment circle.
