Chapter 39: Chapter 039: We Have Found the Spokesperson Chapter 39: Chapter 039: We Have Found the Spokesperson The next day, Shen Yan got up even earlier than Liu Su had imagined.
By six o’clock, Shen Yan had already washed up and gone downstairs for breakfast.
Seeing Shen Yan sitting at the breakfast table at that time, Liu Su thought he was hallucinating and checked his watch twice.
It was definitely six in the morning.
Liu Su’s reaction made it clear just how lazy the previous host had been.
Shen Yan greeted Liu Su.
Liu Su didn’t adhere to any sort of hierarchy between master and servant, quickly joining Shen Yan at the table for breakfast.
At 6:30, both of them left on time.
Once in the car, Liu Su said, “Miss Shen, I’ve already found a personal makeup artist for you, though you might not need one, it’s safer to have your own. Also, I hired an additional assistant. Xiao Zhao is still too young, having joined us shortly after graduating from college since he was poached by Zhang Lu.”
Nowadays, celebrities in the entertainment industry like to employ various assistants and are always surrounded by a large entourage.
There are life assistants, umbrella assistants, and so on; any title you can think of has been added.
On top of that, some hire bodyguards.
Shen Yan didn’t need so many people following her.
That kind of setup made her feel like she hadn’t escaped the base at all.
“The personal makeup artist can come along, but there’s no need to add more assistants. Although Xiao Zhao was hired by Zhang Lu, he works hard, and I quite like him.”
Hearing this, Liu Su gave up the idea of arranging for more people: “If that’s the case, let me know about anything as soon as possible, Miss Shen.”
Shen Yan nodded.
“The brand’s own team will handle the shoot, so they might have stricter requirements for the advertisement.”
“You don’t need to worry, Uncle Liu, I have professional ethics, and I won’t throw tantrums,” unlike the original host.
Liu Su wasn’t completely relieved, still concerned that Shen Yan might encounter some problem during the shoot.

The brand AIYA had rented a floor in Shen City’s Lizi Building to set up a small division in Asia.
Most tenants of the Lizi Building are involved in the entertainment industry.
Because Lizi Building can provide enough security and privacy, those in the industry prefer to rent here.
AIYA was on the eleventh floor.
At this time, office workers of Lizi Building were steadily streaming in.
Some caught a glimpse of Shen Yan and were momentarily astounded.
Shen Yan followed Liu Su into the elevator, and instantly, everyone’s gaze fell on her, some even surreptitiously took out their phones and opened Weibo to look up Shen Yan’s photo for comparison.
It was really Shen Yan!
There were regular businesses in Lizi Building as well.
Half of the people in the elevator were employees of these companies.
In a corner of the elevator, two girls whispered to each other.
“It’s really Yanyan!”
“I’m so excited!”
“Shh.”
Even in a spacious elevator, no matter how quietly the two spoke, those standing nearby could still hear them clearly.
Those who didn’t recognize Shen Yan shifted their gaze over.
The moment Shen Yan stepped out of the elevator, she felt the hustle and bustle of the eleventh floor.
The back and forth movement of the staff made one wonder if they had worked overtime all through the previous night until now.
“Agel!”
Liu Su saw the person in charge and called out to him.
Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, Agel turned around and saw Liu Su, immediately putting down what he was holding and striding over.
The man had a typical Western face, with distinctive features—deep-set eyes and brown hair.
He seemed to be around thirty-five years old.
“Mr. Liu, I’ve been waiting for you to come over. Is this your Xinyu artist?” Agel spoke Mandarin quite well.
He sized up Shen Yan as he spoke.
The first time he saw Shen Yan, she dazzled him.
A simple attire, yet it couldn’t hide the radiance she emitted!
Such an Eastern beauty, it was his first encounter!
Previously, when the headquarters mentioned assigning the endorsement to a small media company, Algert had vehemently opposed.
He had braced himself to settle for an unremarkable actress as their endorser, not expecting Xinyu to have such an eye-catching talent hidden away!
It was a complete surprise.
Seeing the sparkle in Agel’s eyes, Liu Su knew that Shen Yan met their criteria.
“Agel, I wonder if the artist we’ve chosen meets your requirements.”
“Perfect! She’s perfect!” Agel came to his senses, his gaze on Shen Yan shining even brighter, “Mr. Liu, we’ve already prepared the contract, come with me quickly.”
Foreigners don’t like to beat around the bush; they go straight to signing the deal.
Once in the office, the advertisement director Brendon hurried over at the news.
His brows were deeply furrowed, and just as he pushed the door to enter and was about to speak out, his eye caught Shen Yan on the other side of the room, and he swallowed his words right back down.
“Brendon? Weren’t you in the middle of shooting? How come you have the time to drop by? Perfect timing. Let me introduce you, this is the Xinyu endorser I told you about,” Agel introduced Shen Yan, pointing at her.
Brendon paused, then walked over to Shen Yan, appraising her blatantly from head to toe.
This actress before him was unfamiliar yet stunning.
Shen Yan extended her hand: “Shen Yan.”
“Brendon,” Brendon instinctively reached out to shake her hand, “You’re new, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder we haven’t seen you before. Oh, for the campaign endorsement in Asia, we’ve scoured your Z country’s entertainment industry again and again, never finding the right candidate. My God, you look astonishing! The very spokesperson we’ve been looking for!” Brendon went from opposition to unequivocal satisfaction.
He couldn’t wait to whisk Shen Yan off for the shoot right then and there.
Agel smiled, “Brendon, we still need to sign the contract!”
“Hurry and sign; I can’t wait,” Brendon’s impatience was evident.
Agel quickly took out the contract, and Liu Su carefully read it over once, confirming it was the previously agreed terms, and both parties proceeded with the signing.
The contract was hardly closed before Brendon was eagerly pulling Shen Yan off to get styled!
Liu Su and Agel exchanged a few words before hurriedly following.
With a smile, Agel tucked away the hand he had just shaken with Liu Su and looked at the contract in his hand, securing it properly.
He hadn’t even had the chance to leave the office when his phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
Agel answered regardless.
A strange voice came through, “Mr. Agel, this is Mu Jincheng, my agent contacted you before.”
As soon as Agel heard the name, his brows knitted slightly.
This Mu Jincheng’s agent had called him about the endorsement advertisement, coming across rather forceful.
Agel didn’t need to ask for favors, it was the other way around, so he didn’t like Mu Jincheng’s agent, and now by association, he was unimpressed with Mu Jincheng himself.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Mu.”
“Well, if you haven’t found the right person for the endorsement, I have someone very suitable on my end, can we meet to discuss?”
Agel, who had been around Z country, was well aware of the ins and outs of the entertainment industry and knew who Mu Jincheng was.
“Sorry, Mr. Mu, you’re a step too late, we’ve found our endorser. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up,” Agel hung up quite definitively.
On the other end, Mu Jincheng held the phone, momentarily stunned, “Found someone?”
His agent stood beside him, saying, “This Agel is quite arrogant. When I called him last time, the attitude was poor. You shouldn’t bother with a foreigner and stir up trouble.”
It’s still best to focus on your own career path.
Mu Jincheng arched an eyebrow: “You know why I entered the entertainment industry.”
The agent choked up.
Of course, he knew Mu Jincheng had entered the industry for Chu Jinghe, but over the years, his career had taken off rapidly.
The agent didn’t wish to see him constrained by Chu Jinghe.
“Check who they chose.”
He had already promised Jinghe; was he going to go back on his word?
