Chapter 120: Sold Out Across the Board!

Hearing this, Li Xinran, who had been sobbing, froze.

An insignificant person?

Shen Huai had actually just called her an insignificant person!?

"Li Xinran, do you still remember a question I asked you when I went to the hotel to persuade you?"

Shen Huai said in a deep voice: "I asked you at the time, if the price of fame was to live forever in the fear that your lies could be exposed at any moment, never knowing peace, would you still be willing?"

Shen Huai's tone was icy, devoid of any emotion, "Do you remember your answer?"

"You said that as long as you could be famous, you would do anything."

He spoke word by word, his gaze looking coldly at Li Xinran, as if looking at a stranger.

"So everything you are experiencing now is what you chose yourself."

"Even if you have to break your teeth, you have to swallow them yourself!"

!

In an instant.

Li Xinran felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

How could it be like this? How could it be like this! At the thought of being bound to such a hollow identity for the rest of her life, Li Xinran felt a chill run through her entire body!

This not only meant that she would become a puppet to be manipulated by others.

It also meant she would become a key "target" of the media day and night! Once she had any behavior that crossed the line, she would be labeled as "suspected of cheating"!

The more Li Xinran thought about it, the more she feared the consequences.

She slumped powerlessly to the floor, tears sliding down silently.

The next moment.

A tissue was quietly handed to Li Xinran.

"Stop crying, there are reporters everywhere outside; if your makeup gets ruined, you'll end up on the trending list again."

Lin Yeman said with a charming tone, pulling a tissue from the table and handing it to Li Xinran, "To be honest, not only should you not be crying, you should be grateful."

"Grateful that you still have utility value, and can continue to shine on the stage."

Lin Yeman looked at Li Xinran, who was slumped on the floor, without a shred of pity in her eyes.

Immediately, she elegantly took a document out of her bag, threw it in front of Li Xinran, and said with an indifferent tone: "Sign this, it won't be too late to cry after."

Looking at the contract that had suddenly appeared before her.

Li Xinran took it with trembling hands and flipped to the first page.

She saw that on the first page of the contract, the words 【Exclusive Image Full Authorization Agreement】 were printed in bold! Exclusive authorization!

It was exactly the game that Shen Huai had mentioned at the press conference!

"……Team Leader Lin, what is this?"

Li Xinran swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

"This is the thing that will protect your career," Lin Yeman raised an eyebrow and handed a pen to Li Xinran, "Sign it, and this game endorsement will be yours too."

"……No, I don't want to sign……"

Li Xinran shook her head desperately.

She didn't want to hand her own portrait over to a group of shut-ins to fantasize about!

"Don't want to sign? I advise you to think it through."

Lin Yeman walked over slowly, her tone light and airy, yet it was like a sharp blade piercing Li Xinran's weak spot.

"All the glory and halo you have now were not earned by you yourself."

"Your persona, your identity, everything about you, was all crafted by me single-handedly."

"Otherwise, how long do you think you could last in the entertainment industry with your brain?"

"……Team Leader Lin, you!" Li Xinran bit her lip hard, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Sign it, and not only can you continue to enjoy your current halo, but you will have more opportunities in the future; but if you don't sign……" Lin Yeman's tone was icy, carrying a hint of seduction, "then you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

She did not continue, but the threat was self-evident.

Li Xinran shuddered all over.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she sat blankly on the floor, tears swirling in her eyes.

At this moment, the reporters outside were still unwilling to give up, waiting at the door to corner her.

Ever since her plan failed that night, she had already lost any room for negotiation. There were only two paths before her.

Either sign this agreement and become a puppet to be manipulated.

Or be beaten back to her original form, lose everything, and disappear from the public eye from now on.

"……Fine, I'll sign."

Li Xinran said these two words in a trembling voice, as if she had used up all her strength.

"Don't feel so aggrieved," Lin Yeman threw the pen to Li Xinran's side and said flatly, "Those predecessors of yours signed much earlier than you."

"……Understood, Team Leader Lin."

Li Xinran pulled off the pen cap, took a deep breath, and looked at the default items in the agreement.

Gritting her teeth and steeling her heart, she signed her name on the final item.

"That's more like it."

Lin Yeman curled her lips into a satisfied smile.

She glanced at Shen Huai, and both of them raised their eyebrows in tacit understanding.

……

Less than two hours after the press conference ended.

Star Glory suddenly announced to the outside world the first list of artists who had obtained game licensing.

Popular young actresses, trending young actors, powerhouse actors...

One familiar name after another was prominently listed, encompassing nearly half of the entertainment industry! Once the list was released, the entire internet was shocked!

【Holy crap, am I seeing this right? My husband actually licensed for this game too!】

【Ahhhhh, my goddess also licensed! Damn, the Shen Family is too awesome, right? To think they could actually move my goddess!】

【This lineup is simply heaven-defying! I can't even imagine how explosive it will be once the game is officially announced!】

【My brother is on it, oh my god! I told you I would definitely be able to date my brother!】

【...】

For a moment.

Netizens exploded with excitement.

The comment section was buzzing with heated discussion.

No one expected that this Heir to the Shen Family would remain silent until he made a move that stunned everyone! From the end of the press conference until now, it has only been 2 hours, yet he has already directly released the first list of licensed stars! This efficiency is absolutely incredible! The internet today is just too explosive.

The news was more explosive than the last! It was simply a series of earthquakes!

The onlookers were as excited as badgers in a melon patch.

One moment they were jumping around in the gossip about Li Xinran's romance, and the next they were fawning over Shen Huai's god-like appearance.

In less than two hours.

The personal super-topic for Shen Huai, spontaneously organized by netizens, had already been established, and the number of fans who entered the super-topic had already exceeded one million.

And this game, which hadn't even started development yet, already had a game forum spontaneously organized by the public.

At the same time.

Ryan Technology headquarters.

"What? Say that again? Our products... are sold out across the board?!"

Inside the Marketing Department director's office, an exclamation of disbelief rang out.

"Yes, Director, our products, whether it's mobile phones, computers, or other electronic products, are all completely sold out!"

Marketing Department Manager Zhang Wei reported while holding a computer, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Moreover, the pre-sale amount for the new products has already exceeded 60 billion in just 2 hours!"

"... 6... 60 billion?!"

The Marketing Department Director, Liu Chang, completely lost his composure, his tone stuttering from shock.

You have to know.

Just when Shen Huai went on stage, they were still anxious because of the game promotion Shen Huai had suddenly inserted, worried about whether it would affect sales.

As it turned out, they didn't expect it.

Only two hours had passed since the press conference.

Their entire product line had actually sold out? (End of this chapter)
