Chapter 78: Spreading Rumors About Jiang Xun

“Yeah, when the ranking list was released, you jumped straight to second place! It was so cool!” Daxin exclaimed. “You should’ve seen Youyan’s expression. She went there in vain tonight and didn’t get anything. She even lost such a big person.”

“A lot of netizens are now complaining about her secretly changing the name tag of your seat,” Jiajia said.

Because Jiang Xun was at the scene itself, she didn’t know as much as her roommates, so she listened to the three roommates talk about the situation on the internet tonight before washing up and went to bed.

The next day, Yicheng arranged for Jiang Xun to sign a promotion contract with Yi Lan.

In addition to wearing some of the styles stipulated in the contract for promotional photos, Yi Lan would also give Jiang Xun some additional clothing as long as she wore them during livestreams.

Yi Lan’s official Weibo also specially promoted her.

“Yi Lan is very honored to announce that @jiangxun has become our recommendation officer. Everyone, come and take a look at Jiang Jiang’s wardrobe~”

[Wow, Jiang Jiang is awesome. She actually has a promotional collaboration with the brand. Let me take a look.]

[Did Jiang Jiang personally choose these styles?]

[I want to see Jiang Jiang’s upper body picture. When will it be released?]

When Lin Youyan saw the announcement, she felt her blood freeze in her veins.

Not only did the Queen of the Year award go to Jiang Xun, she’d also gotten the seat right in the middle of the front row. And now she even had a partnership with a brand!

Youyan herself also had promotional income, but it was only from short videos and livestreams. She’d never once had an official promotion for such a brand.

Yi Lan might not be a big brand, but it was a domestic brand that a lot of people felt nostalgic towards.

And so, Youyan immediately contacted Sister Lin and complained, “Sister Lin, Jiang Xunis only a little famous, but she’s doing a promotion with Yi Lan! I’m a big internet celebrity with more than 20 million followers, so why can’t I get that kind of promotion? Even if the company wants to promote Jiang Xun, they can’t be too biased, right?”

Sister Lin inwardly complained that Youyan was being too nosy, but at the same time, she was handling a big internet celebrity, which was something she rarely got the chance to do.

Most of her income depended on Youyan, so she could only patiently say, “This was indeed not arranged by the company. I heard that Yi Lan was the one who reached out to Jiang Xun first because the dress she wore yesterday belongs to their brand. That dress originally had average sales, but when Jiang Xun wore it, it was immediately sold out. There were also many netizens who didn’t get to buy it and were urging Yi Lan to restock it.”

“Yi Lan took a fancy to Jiang Xun’s ability to sell goods, so they asked her to promote it,” Sister Lin said after thinking for a while. “However… don’t compare yourself to Jiang Xun in everything. I heard that…President Wang is personally managing her. If tI have the resources, I’ll definitely try my best to get you good promotions, but I won’t be able to compete with him.”

Sister Lin was not afraid that Youyan would fire her, however; at the Influencer Day event, Youyan had clearly upset Wang Yicheng, so even if she wanted him to manage her, President Wang wouldn’t agree.

Moreover, Jiang Xun was a special case this time. Before this, President Wang had never personally managed an internet celebrity. It would be very hard to convince him to take another one under his wing

“President Wang?” Youyan muttered numbly. “You mean…Wang Yicheng? That President Wang?”

“Yes,” Sister Lin nodded. “President Wang is personally managing Jiang Xun. When I heard this news, I was also shocked. As the general manager, how did President Wang become a manager? But it’s true after all. I don’t know what happened behind the scenes.”

Youyan hung up the phone thoughtfully.

That Sunday, Jiang Xun went to shoot some promotional photos for Yi Lan, who also asked her to pick out a few outfits that she liked.

As soon as Yicheng asked someone to send the clothes she’d picked out to the car, Yi Lan’s general manager, Lan Yijie, walked over with a dark face. He looked at Yicheng strangely, as ifwanting to say something but hesitating.

“President Lan, if you have something to say, just say it.” Yicheng smiled awkwardly. “Your gaze makes my hair stand on end.”

“Then I’ll say it directly.” Lan Yijie said, a little embarrassed. “Word on Weibo is that you have… an improper relationship. But of course, I definitely don’t believe in such groundless rumors.”

From his observation, Yicheng and Jiang Xun didn’t get along very well. Even if the two of them did have a relationship, even if they deliberately avoided suspicion, it was inevitable that some small details would be revealed.

However, the two of them didn’t give off any hints. On the contrary, Yijie even felt that Yicheng actually respected Jiang Xun, judging from his demeanor. It was as if Jiang Xun was a big shot that Yicheng didn’t dare to provoke.

“But many netizens believe it,” Yijie said. “If Jiang Xun’s reputation is damaged, I’m afraid our brand can no longer work with Jiang Xun.”

“Our brand is an old national brand. We have never invited any endorsement or promotional cooperation before. Our name is directly supported by word-of-mouth among the people. “Therefore, our brand attaches great importance to the collaboration with Jiang Xun this time. That’s why I’m here personally. I hope that we can achieve a win-win result with her this time, so…”

“Sorry, Mr. Lan. Please let me take a look at Weibo first.” Yicheng’s face darkened when he heard the news, then opened his phone and quickly took a look at Weibo. He gritted his teeth in anger. “Someone is obviously causing trouble. I have a family, and Jiang Xun is still young. What kind of dirty person would be able to make up such a disgusting rumor?”

“Of course I know that,” Yijie said. “I’m telling you about this matter because I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible.”

“Three days,” he said. “If you can resolve this matter within three days, then we will continue with the collaboration. Otherwise, we can’t sacrifice our brand’s reputation. I hope you understand.”

“I do.” Yicheng was the general manager of Shanpin Media after all. When faced with such an emergency, he could still maintain his demeanor and not panic.

He smiled gratefully at Yijie. “Thank you for your company’s time. Don’t worry, we will definitely handle this matter well.”

After that, Yicheng took Jiang Xun away and went to look for his car. However, when he got there, he saw a woman who looked to be in her forties standing by the car with a stern face.

When Yicheng saw her, he trembled and immediately became listless. His usual shrewd and capable demeanor was completely gone.

He even hid behind Jiang Xun, trying to use her slender body to cover his fat body.

Seeing that display, the woman sneered and walked over to pinch Yicheng’s ear, pulling him out from behind Jiang Xun. “Do you really think you can hide behind anyone with how fat you are?!”

“Ahhh! Don’t pinch me! You’ll make me a joke in public,” Yicheng cried, tilting his head along with the force of her pull.

Otherwise, how could a woman really pull him out with her strength?
