52: Chapter 52 Is this the Mysterious Female of the Nine Heavens?
It seems this beauty has a grudge against me!
I’m not provoking anyone, so why am I getting shot even while lying down?
Could it be because I’m handsome?
What does my being handsome have to do with her?
Since I can’t figure it out, Lin Zifeng simply can’t be bothered to waste brain cells on it and just lies on the couch, munching on cookies, quite at ease.
Meng Youjing just glanced at him briefly but didn’t pay him any more attention.
Then, as if she were dressing up royalty herself, she spent over an hour getting Hua Buqi all dolled up.
With all that time spent on makeup, a normal person could have defecated a dozen times.
Women are such a hassle.
When they reappeared in front of Lin Zifeng, he was almost asleep.
Looking at the princess before him, who resembled a Barbie doll, Lin Zifeng thought the world was messed up.
It turned out a makeup artist could make a girl who was not ugly look so beautiful!
She was simply like a fairy descending from the Nine Heavens!
Dressed in a purple body-hugging lace outfit and a delicate uniform, she was even cuter than Barbie.
“Uncle, do you think I look pretty?”
Although she still despised Lin Zifeng, such is a woman’s nature; even knowing they’re not on good terms, she still deliberately shows off in front of him.
Is this what they call showing off?
I’m only twenty-four this year, twenty-five by nominal age.
Not to mention my looks, they definitely don’t seem over twenty-one.
How come I’m an uncle in her mouth?
Do we have such different concepts of age?
It would be even prettier if you let me touch it.”
Why are you so sleazy and shameless?”
The young lady rolled her eyes in contempt.
Even Meng Youjing took another look at Lin Zifeng, realizing that he could say such things, it was evident that Lin Zifeng was not a good guy.
I’m just speaking the truth.
Seeing how beautiful you are, as a normal man, that’s what I’d think, and besides, this proves that I am honest and don’t tell lies.
Do you like someone who’s all talk?
The words ‘shameless’ don’t even exist in my world.
I’m just thick-skinned, with no relation to being shameless at all.”
Lin Zifeng talked eloquently, not at all bashful, nor did he care about the impact of what he said.
David, the makeup artist on the sofa, showed a thirsty look, which instantly made Lin Zifeng want to clench his fists and beat the animal to death.
Meng Youjing was now even more convinced of her guess.
She never expected such a two-faced guy could be so unfiltered.
What a waste of a good appearance; where in the world would you find a bodyguard like that?
At the very least, other things aside, you ought to know that we are your actual employers.
You need to understand the situation.
We call the shots, and you must listen to what we say.
There’s no shortage of bodyguards.
Anger us, and soon we’ll fire you.
Meng Youjing was indignantly upset.
As Hua Buqi’s manager, she wouldn’t even take the slightest advantage of others.
Yet, here you were, desecrating the image she had so carefully crafted.
“Enough, stop talking, both of you.
The press conference is about to start this afternoon.
Could you please hurry up?
Oh, and, what’s your name, the bodyguard, please start the car.
That way we can save some time later.”
Meng Youjing deliberately pointed out things in front of Lin Zifeng.
However, Lin Zifeng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
After all, all women like to act pure.
After going downstairs, Lin Zifeng headed straight for the mini sports car they had arrived in.
“Maserati!” Lin Zifeng didn’t notice at first when he saw a sports car parked at the door, but now he took a closer look.
“Who would have thought this woman was so wealthy?
I just wonder if she’s been kept by someone?” After all, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are too dark these days.
For a second-generation rich girl like Hua Buqi, who also comes from a wealthy family, as long as there’s a little hype, she could definitely become extremely popular.
However, she had always been developing her career overseas, so her fame in the domestic market, let alone the whole of Asia, wasn’t that popular yet.
Comparatively speaking, foreign stars tend to be more popular since celebrities often like to make a big deal out of small things, creating something for people to chew on.
With the company willing to spend money on her promotion, her success was almost guaranteed.
Therefore, Hua Buqi’s return to the country this time was not only to make a name for herself in the domestic market but also to leap into the ranks of the top celebrities.
Although it was a bit difficult, with Meng Youjing, an old hand in the Martial Arts World, helping alongside Tianyu, the success of this venture seemed assured.
As long as she could improve her personal standards, that should be sufficed.
The press conference they called this time was actually for a signing event, which was essentially a front; they planned to create a big stir under the guise of a signing event.
With journalists also present, the headline news would spread its wings and fly in no time.
Mere hype wouldn’t have that much impact.
The most important thing was to be willing to invest.
For this event, Hua Buqi’s wealthy dad had spared no effort.
However, Hua Buqi didn’t want to take her dad’s money.
It always felt like she was rising on the shoulders of a giant, relying on her parents, so this time Meng Youjing, a resourceful agent, specifically sought out several investors for a collaboration.
But the conditions they demanded were a bit too much, saying that afterwards, they wanted Hua Buqi to grace them with her presence for dinner and drinks, to casually discuss future developments.
Hua Buqi was very naive and had no idea about these rules back in her home country.
Meng Youjing had only heard about this through the grapevine and didn’t know if such things really happened, which is why they specially planned to hire a personal bodyguard this time.
Except for the missing makeup artist, the three of them joked and laughed all the way to the large press conference in the city.
As soon as they got out of the car, it was incredibly lively!
The craziness was just like a sea of people.
The fans were too enthusiastic!
All the way there, Hua Buqi’s posters were plastered everywhere; even more exaggerated were the crowds in the square.
They acted as if they hadn’t seen a celebrity in centuries, crowding around so much that there was no room to move.
The security personnel were also overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Lin Zifeng was quite resourceful.
He managed to navigate the situation smoothly.
At first, Meng Youjing worried that Lin Zifeng might cause some trouble, but he arranged everything even better than she had imagined.
If not for his excellent driving skills, it would have probably been difficult to enter the city square.
