Even if they were narcissistic, he was the kind of person that made people listen to them feel their self-confidence.
Yun Xiangxiang did not feel right to refute him on this, so she urged warmly, “Rest early, I won’t allow you to drive overnight.”
Although he was just in Beijing, it took a three-hour drive at the very least to reach here. She didn’t know how many operations Song Mian had performed. This was energy-consuming physical labor, after all.
Even if someone else drove him, she wouldn’t allow him to burden himself like that.
Song Mian laughed deeply, “I said I’ll be back tomorrow.”
“Hehe, Mr. Song, there are only twenty more minutes until tomorrow!” He thought she was easy to deceive.
Song Mian did have this idea but was worried that if he suddenly went back, not only would she not be surprised, she might even be angry. So he decided to call her first to find an excuse.
In the end, he was still figured out by his smart girlfriend and responded resignedly, “Okay, I will not rush overnight.”
“You’re such a good boy. If you have anything to do, you can come home later. I’m going to shoot the commercial, so I should be home in the afternoon.” Yun Xiangxiang continued.
He was not allowed to rush back anyway.
“Okay, I’ll hang up now. You should go to bed earlier too.” Song Mian didn’t want to disturb her rest.
“Good night.” Yun Xiangxiang hung up.
It was not certain if it was because she talked to Song Mian, but her heart settled down, and she fell asleep quickly.
During the shooting on Saturday, the team was still the same as the last time, and the company did not make any changes to the content. The shooting was fast, and they wrapped up in two hours.
They took some more promotional photos and finally finished in the morning. However, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t see the annoying person, so she didn’t feel too exhausted.
“S.Q will be having an in-store event tomorrow. You need to be at the mall to promote it.” He Wei told Yun Xiang during lunch.
“Is it in the morning?” She knew of this event beforehand, as Coco mentioned to her before.
As a brand ambassador, this was also one of their tasks.
“Also, SL is also having a brand event and sent us an invitation. It’s being held next Thursday.” He Wei handed the invitation letter to her.
SL was a top luxury brand. Their products included bags, perfumes, skincare products, cosmetics, clothing, shoes, and others alike…
Yun Xiangxiang was the Chinese ambassador for their bags, so she had an obligation to attend this large-scale brand event.
Moreover, it was not only her who had to be there at the time. The ambassadors from the other lines had to be there as well. High-class socialite ladies that favored this brand would be there as well.
Many people could not get an invitation letter even if they begged for it, but Yun Xiangxiang was in a bind. When she flipped open the invitation letter, the event was set to be from two o’clock in the afternoon until five o’clock.
She had a class on Thursday afternoon, but she must wear makeup to attend brand events of this sort. Even if she did not participate in a gown, she had to pay attention to her image. If she participated in the event after her class, it would be a little rushed…
“I still want to finish the class. I will rush over immediately after I’m dismissed at noon.” She decided after thinking.
This way, she did not have to take leave in the afternoon, and she could rush back in time during the evening.
“If you are sure you can make it in time, then we will follow your plan.” He Wei gave her a lot of freedom.
“No problem.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded.
Let Zhou Jie wait for her. She would change her clothes and put on makeup in the care. It took an hour at most to reach the event site from her school.
Just as Yun Xiangxiang returned home, Song Meng gave her a call to ask her to watch the news.
The news unfolded, and Yun Xiangxiang laughed. The title was: No matter how beautiful the appearance, the ugly interior could not be disguised.
It was photos of when she was shooting for the shower gel commercial. They didn’t know who took them, but because she was wearing a tube top dress, the photo was taken above her collarbones and below her knees. This created the illusion that she was completely nude.
The shot was taken in three parts, and each part had to be taken care of quickly. For example, when she came out of the bathtub, her hair and tube top dress was dripping. Then there were the workers down on one knee helping her wring the dress dry and to re-pin the scattered parts back on.
Because she had to reapply her makeup, she could only remain standing while many people surrounded her. If someone only looked at the pictures, she seemed like a queen being served by servants.
This was just part of the job, but many people would judge based on pictures. Unfortunately, many people agreed with the rumors.
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t be bothered to pay attention. She was not the only one who had news like this. Many actors were slandered similarly.
However, she could ignore the chaos brought by the keyboard warriors in this sort of incident, but she had to question the company.
At that time, there was only Coco, Ai Li, and herself there. He Wei was waiting for her outside, and the rest were all company personnel.
It didn’t take much thought for Yun Xiangxiang to know that it must have been the doing of that Vice President Lin. She only offended this one person after all.
“What’s wrong?” Song Mian, who greeted her at the door, immediately sensed that her emotions were not right as soon as she stepped through the door.
“Just a little work-related issue.” She did not pay much heed to this incident, so she did not need to specifically tell Song Mian.
She took the initiative to step forward and wrap her hands around his waist, snuggling into his arms, “I miss you.”
Her acting like a baby instantly melted Song Mian’s heart and messed up his mind. He thought of nothing else and hugged her closer to him.
Two of them could spend the whole afternoon together after only being separated for a day until Song Mian went to cook dinner. Yun Xiangxiang also went to help him.
She left the task of questioning the company to He Wei as he was best at handling such things.
After dinner, the company posted an official Weibo to explain the situation and clarify for Yun Xiangxiang.
Many people were still adamant about comparing her with other actors, as they would not rush to clarify the situation as she did.
They pretended as if they didn’t have the slightest bit of imperfection.
Song Meng almost exploded and sent a message to Yun Xiangxiang complaining.
Yun Xiangxiang could only sigh: I often feel out of place with these people because my three views are too righteous…
Song Meng was amused and didn’t say anything more.
Before going to bed, Song Mian still found out what had happened. After all, he sent someone to search for news related to Yun Xiangxiang.
The other party had sent it to him a long time ago, but he and Yun Xiangxiang were too tired to deal with it.
Song Mian’s people not only found out the whole matter but even the cause of the entire incident.
Once he saw that his subordinates’ contents reported to him, Song Mian’s eyes could condense real murderous aura.
Yun Xiangxiang was still nestled in his arms and told him that she would be going to an in-store event tomorrow.
While responding to her, he replied, “Send him to the hospital and treat him well.
So she didn’t know that Vice President Lin, who had ideas about her and wanted to get a hold of her, got into a car accident happily. Then, he was sent to the hospital under the Song family.
