Zheng Xuanlin finally returned with a confident air.
"I've secured a Blue Blood Aristocracy endorsent for you. Next week, the brand is hosting a private dinner, and the head of their China division wants to et you. You must attend, and this ti, we will definitely seal the deal!"
Xiang-Nuan was a bit surprised. "Better than the last one?"
"Of course! Tis have changed. You won the Most Popular Actress of the Year award, and no other female star was as hot as you last year. Even singing a terrible song got you trending."
Xiang-Nuan: "..."
"More importantly, your future is promising. The drama 'Strategist' is receiving rave reviews in the industry, and everyone is betting on its success. Why wouldn't you land a top luxury endorsent?"
Zheng Xuanlin patted her shoulder with a smile. "I'm rooting for you!"

The Qin family's engagent party was grand, taking over the entire second floor of the Intercontinental Hotel and inviting nurous elites from Peking City.
Madam Qin, Lin Feng, wore a red cheongsam. Though she had gained weight and looked a bit plump, she was beaming with joy, standing at the entrance with Qin Zhanghui to greet the guests.
"Mom, didn't you say President Shen would co? Is that true? Why isn't he here yet?"
Qin Chuyun was dressed to impress today, wearing a champagne-colored strapless gown and eight-centiter high heels. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, which she kept flicking back.
But standing in high heels for too long made her feet sore, and she was starting to feel unsteady.
"Soone like President Shen, if he cos, it's already a huge honor for you." Lin Feng glared at her. "Stop complaining. The guests here today are all wealthy and influential. Don't cause any trouble for !"
Just then, soone shouted, "President Shen is here."
Qin Zhanghui and Lin Feng were startled and hurried to greet him.
Qin Chuyun quickly flicked her hair back and adjusted her dress, nervously following them.
But to her surprise, it wasn't Shen Yanshi who walked in.
Qin Zhanghui was montarily stunned. "Oh, it's Shen Jun."
Shen Jun smiled. "What? President Qin, you're not happy to see ?"
"Of course not!" Qin Zhanghui quickly ushered him in. "I just didn't expect the second young master to grace us with his presence. We hadn't heard anything beforehand. It's an honor for An's engagent party to have you here."
"President Qin, you're too kind. I'm here with Jingjing."
Qin-An's fiancée was Chen Sining, the daughter of the Chen family, who was good friends with Zhao Jing. Naturally, Zhao Jing was also at the engagent party.
In fact, many of the guests from Peking City were here because of the Chen family.
"Oh! I see. It's a pleasure to et you, second young master. Please co in. Miss Zhao is in the dressing room with Ningning."
"Thank you."
Shen Jun exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Zhanghui before heading inside.
Qin Chuyun was a bit disappointed and followed quietly without saying a word.
After Shen Jun went in, she couldn't help but ask Qin Zhanghui again, "Is it possible that only Shen Jun will co from the Shen family? Is President Shen not coming?"

Qin Zhanghui glared at her. "The second young master is a legitimate mber of the Shen family. Watch your tone! If soone hears you, it could cause trouble!"
Qin Chuyun muttered softly, "But it's not the sa. Shen Jun is just an illegitimate child, and he won't inherit the Shen family's business anyway."
"Shut up! Even if he doesn't inherit the Shen family's business, he's not soone the Qin family can afford to offend!"
Qin Chuyun was a bit dissatisfied. Back in Lin City, the Qin family was one of the top families, and she was always treated with respect. But here in Peking City, it seed like everyone could overshadow her.
Lin Feng glanced at Shen Jun's departing figure and couldn't help but say, "But this second young master seems much easier to get along with than President Shen. He's gentle and polite."
Qin Chuyun felt disdainful inside. What good is that? He has no skills or tactics, just like her brother—good-looking but useless.
The elevator doors opened, and a tall figure stepped out.
Qin Zhanghui quickly walked to the elevator entrance. "President Shen is here."
