Chapter 269: Chapter 269: The Troubles of a Big StarSeeing the superstar on stage, who seemed like a fairy, also had such a gossipy side, Xia Chenyu couldn’t help but chuckle. She noticed there were many people in the hall and whispered, "It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s go to my office together and discuss the endorsement deal while we’re at it." "Okay!" Ye Wumei nodded. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thereupon, Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, Ye Wumei, and Su Yifei took the elevator to Xia Chenyu’s president’s office at the top floor. As for the bodyguards brought by Ye Wumei and Su Yifei, they were ordered to wait in the lobby on the first floor. After arriving at the office, Xia Chenyu personally made tea for Fang Bai and the other two, and then they sat down to chat. Since Xia Chenyu, Ye Wumei, and Su Yifei had all received favors from Fang Bai, they quickly grew closer, with Fang Bai bridging the gap between them, and their relationship became as good as that of longtime friends. Hearing that the three beauty recipes provided by Fang Bai had saved Xia Chenyu’s company from the brink of closure, Ye Wumei marveled and her gaze towards Fang Bai held even more admiration. When it came to discussing product endorsements, because Fang Bai, the shareholder, was her lifesaver and Xia Chenyu, the president, was now her sister, Ye Wumei refused to accept any endorsement fee. After much persuasion, she reluctantly accepted a symbolic one million. When everything was agreed upon, all four of them were overjoyed. Seeing that it was already noon, they went together to the "Four Seasons Spring" restaurant owned by the Su Family for lunch. During the meal, the two women sat together, one praising the other’s skin for being really nice and the other admiring her figure for being truly amazing. They exchanged beauty and fitness tips, leaving the two men aside. However, Fang Bai and Su Yifei were not idle either. As they ate and drank, Fang Bai also took the opportunity to give some martial arts cultivation advice to Su Yifei, which gave Su Yifei insight and thrilled him. Although Su Yifei didn’t have an Innate Spiritual Root and wasn’t a Martial Dao genius, he had a decent foundation and a good chance of stepping into the Martial Dao. With his average talent, to achieve significant success in the Martial Dao, he would have to put in more effort and endure more hardships. In Fang Bai’s previous world, there were also martial artists without an Innate Spiritual Roots or exceptional talent who, through acquired effort, broke through various limitations and ultimately became an Immortal Emperor. "Yifei, you may not have talents as outstanding as Linglong, and it’ll be difficult for you to catch up with her on the Martial Dao path. However, as long as you keep cultivating, becoming a Profound Level Martial Artist is still within your reach," Fang Bai patted Su Yifei on the shoulder and said. Su Yifei had been studying martial arts under the old housekeeper Su Fu for nearly twenty years and had yet to enter the ranks of the Ancient Martial World, having nearly given up on the Martial Dao. Wanting to learn martial arts from Fang Bai, he held onto a glimmer of hope. In his heart, Profound Level Martial Artists were a level he could only look up to. Now, hearing from Fang Bai that he also had a chance to become a martial artist of this level, he was ecstatic. As for catching up with his sister, he no longer considered it. If he could possess the strength of a Profound Level Martial Artist, not only would he be able to protect himself, but he could also deter members of the family who were defiant towards him and further solidify his position in the family. After the banquet, Su Yifei had to leave first as he had several business deals to discuss personally. Fang Bai intended to return to Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to see if there was anything he could help with, but he was conscripted by the two women, Xia Chenyu and Ye Wumei, to play the role of escort for a shopping trip. Accompanying women on a shopping trip is no easy task, but because there was some ambiguous relationship between Fang Bai and the two women, and Fang Bai rather liked them, he felt awkward refusing their request and agreed to join them. One woman was the highly exposed and renowned president of "Beauty Company"; the other was a superstar with a huge fan following and was the center of attention, especially Ye Wumei. If she went shopping without a disguise, it could lead to fan chaos once recognized, with unthinkable consequences. Therefore, before heading out, the two women prepared thoroughly in Xia Chenyu’s office, donning sun hats, masks, and oversized sunglasses to cover their entire faces except for their eyes, making it difficult for acquaintances to recognize them. Fang Bai saw the two women bundled up tightly and couldn’t help but reflect: people chase fame and fortune, but once they have achieved it, they face all kinds of problems. Take Ye Wumei, for instance, who wanted to enjoy some shopping; she could only do so in secret, unable to live as freely and unrestrained as ordinary people. The two women fussed over their appearance in front of the mirror for quite a while, and feeling satisfied that there were no issues, finally called Fang Bai to head downstairs together. "Fang Bai, didn’t you drive here? We can just ride in your car," said Xia Chenyu, turning to Fang Bai when they reached the lobby on the first floor. Both she and Ye Wumei had their bulletproof business vehicles and drivers, but they wanted to go out for fun today and didn’t wish for their bodyguards to follow, as that would spoil their enjoyment. "Sure, let’s ride in Fang Bai’s car!" Ye Wumei’s eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed. "Riding in mine is fine, just don’t complain about it being low-end!" Fang Bai said with a smile. The bulletproof business cars of Xia Chenyu and Ye Wumei were worth millions, and Fang Bai’s hundred-thousand-yuan sedan was indeed not on the same level as theirs. "Not at all! We aren’t going to any banquets or balls, the more low-key, the better!" Ye Wumei replied cheerily. When Xia Chenyu and Ye Wumei went out, their bodyguards could not be easily avoided, so the two ladies gave their respective bodyguards time off, allowing them to do as they pleased, waiting for a call to action. Xia Chenyu’s bodyguard was a highly paid professional; as the employer, whatever Xia Chenyu said, the bodyguard had to listen and could not disobey. However, Ye Wumei’s bodyguards were different as all four were members of the Ye Family, specifically appointed by the family head, Ye Xing, to protect Ye Wumei. They only took orders from Ye Xing and even Ye Wumei had no right to command them. "Miss, we don’t object to your going out, but wherever you go, we must accompany you... This is the family head’s order." Seeing that Ye Wumei was getting ready to go out, one of the female bodyguards responsible for her close protection hurried over to her side and spoke to Ye Wumei with a serious expression. "Sister Ye Li, we’ll just go out for a bit and come back, there won’t be any trouble," Ye Wumei said with a smile to the female bodyguard. The female bodyguard named Ye Li spoke firmly, "Then please take our business vehicle and let us accompany you!" Ye Wumei had finally managed to get a chance to go out and have fun with Fang Bai, and definitely didn’t want four bodyguards following them and ruining the atmosphere. Grabbing Ye Li’s arm and shaking it, she pleaded, "Sister Ye Li, please, just let the three of us go have fun!" "No way!" Ye Li shook her head resolutely. "I’m now a mid-level Yellow Level martial artist, and Chenyu has the same cultivation level as me. Fang Bai is even more formidable than both of us combined. With the three of us going out together, even if we encounter bad people, there won’t be any problem!" Ye Wumei argued, still not willing to give up. (PS: Continuing to ask for votes at noon!!!)
