Chapter 92: Only Children Make Choices!

Shen Huai's words were not heavy, yet they were resonant and powerful, each syllable clear.

In an instant.

Lin Yeman froze for a moment, and the next, a mist of water welled up in her eyes.

"... You... why are you suddenly being so serious."

Lin Yeman muttered, turning her head away to avoid looking at Shen Huai's face.

She couldn't help but cover her rapidly beating chest.

Her cheeks were faintly burning.

She hadn't expected that Shen Huai, who was always so stubborn, would be so direct when he took the initiative; this wave of sweet talk caught her completely off guard.

Seeing that Lin Yeman was actually shy, Shen Huai curled his lips, revealing a faint smile of success.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. So, how have you considered it?"

"... I..."

Just as Lin Yeman was about to speak, the phone she was holding in her hand suddenly let out a rapid vibration.

It was a call from Tong Yue.

A flash of dark light flickered in Lin Yeman's eyes.

She exchanged a look with Shen Huai, nodded at him knowingly, gestured meaningfully with her phone, and then pressed the answer button.

The next moment.

Tong Yue's irritable voice erupted from the receiver.

"Lin Yeman, where are you? Get out here right now!"

Lin Yeman lightly curled the corners of her lips: "What is it now, Team Leader Tong? Why are you so angry?"

"What did you say to Ryan Group? Why did they suddenly unilaterally cancel Li Xinran's Brand Ambassador contract?"

"We've already arranged all the promotional materials; what are we supposed to do now?"

Hearing this, Lin Yeman said calmly and unhurriedly: "Don't be anxious, Team Leader Tong. Perhaps they are holding an internal meeting to discuss upgrading Li Xinran's title?"

"What kind of pipe dream are you having, Lin Yeman?" Tong Yue was furious, "Do you have any idea what the Ryan Group press conference means to me?"

"Are you intentionally trying to trip me up because you don't want me to get promoted?"

Tong Yue didn't listen to Lin Yeman's explanation at all, becoming more agitated as she spoke.

She shouldn't have agreed to Lin Yeman's suggestion to have Li Xinran link up with Ryan Group in the first place.

A newcomer who hadn't even debuted for a month, whose popularity couldn't even compare to some internet celebrities—how could Ryan possibly take a fancy to her? In the end, it was her own fault for being desperate and seeking medical advice from anyone, actually believing Lin Yeman's nonsense! Now look at this.

She had lost her husband and her army too.

Not only had Shen Huai been snatched away by her, but her own promotion was now surely hopeless.

She had used every trick in the book to get the Ryan Business Department to agree to the Brand Ambassador title for Li Xinran.

But before she could be happy for long, someone at Ryan had put in a word, causing all her previous efforts to fall short of success.

If Ryan abandoned Li Xinran, it was equivalent to rejecting this wave of traffic.

The popularity she had promised them would now be impossible to achieve no matter what.

At the mere thought of what she would have to bear after the breach of contract, Tong Yue's head ached with rage.

"Team Leader Tong, I've told you so many times, don't be anxious when things happen."

Lin Yeman's tone was composed: "Let the bullets fly for a while; good food is worth the wait, and good wine doesn't fear a deep alley."

"... I believe your nonsense—"

Tong Yue's angry tone came to an abrupt halt.

Only then did Jiang Xinxin's panicked voice leak out from the receiver.

"Team... Team Leader Tong! There's a change!"

Jiang Xinxin's tone was almost trembling: "Ryan... Ryan Group just now..."

"What happened to Ryan?" Tong Yue gripped her phone tightly, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it might jump out, "What are they going back on now?"

"... No, they aren't going back on it!"

Jiang Xinxin swallowed hard and muttered in disbelief: "They said, they said..."

"They said that after deliberation, they decided to give the title of Brand Spokesperson for the entire line to Li Xinran!"

"Boom—"

Tong Yue's mood was like riding a vertical roller coaster; she almost couldn't recover her senses.

"... What did you say? Spokesperson for the entire line, Li Xinran?"

"... That's right. Just now, someone from the Business Department called you, but since you were on the line, they sent me this message instead." Jiang Xinxin hurriedly turned the phone screen to show Tong Yue.

Tong Yue looked closely, and sure enough, it was the Business Director of Ryan.

She stared at the message.

The more Tong Yue looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

This tone, this wording...

Why was it so humble?

Was this still the client?

Suddenly realizing she was still on the call with Lin Yeman, she quickly grabbed the phone and sternly questioned: "Team Leader Lin, did you know about this all along?"

"... Hmm, I suppose so."

Lin Yeman smiled radiantly.

"You knew and didn't tell me, letting me run around like a fool?" Tong Yue's anger intensified, "Lin Yeman, you were absolutely doing this on purpose."

"Team Leader Tong, how can you say that about me? I'll be very sad."

Lin Yeman toyed with a strand of hair by her shoulder and smiled faintly: "Ryan agreeing to let Li Xinran be the spokesperson is a win-win for both you and me. Why are you acting like you're the one losing out?"

"……!"

Tong Yue gritted her teeth in a fit of rage, so stifled she couldn't say a single word.

"One thing is one thing, another is another. You lied to me; this isn't over between us."

She hung up the phone.

Tong Yue's angry expression quickly calmed down.

Lin Yeman always couldn't help but dance on her landmines when she spoke, just like she was teasing a child.

Even though she had told herself countless times to stay calm, the moment she faced Lin Yeman, she couldn't stay calm at all.

It was just like seeing a love rival; she was exceptionally jealous.

It was truly strange.

Tong Yue muttered to herself, then suddenly noticed something else.

When Lin Yeman said she would make Ryan Group change Li Xinran's endorsement title, she had originally just listened to it as a joke.

As it turned out, she never expected.

In less than a few short hours, Ryan actually took the initiative to propose letting Li Xinran become their Brand Spokesperson! A Fortune 500 company, choosing a complete newcomer with zero achievements among a crowd of A-list starlets.

The level of absurdity and outrageousness simply exceeded her expectations!

You could tell just by thinking about it with your feet.

This kind of thing could absolutely not be a coincidence.

A flash of suspicion couldn't help but cross Tong Yue's eyes.

Ryan Group was not something that could be swayed by ordinary connections.

What kind of methods did this Lin Yeman use? To actually be able to make them change their minds in just a few short hours?! Could it be that she was hiding some secret she didn't know about?

At the same time.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Lin Yeman curled her lips meaningfully.

"It seems our first step of the plan has already succeeded."

"Next, we just need to wait for Li Xinran's official announcement, and then carry out the next step of the operation."

After the endorsement incident settled, Lin Yeman was in a great mood.

She walked slowly toward Shen Huai, rubbing his cheek contours with keen interest: "What a handsome face; it would be a pity not to be a star."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yeman herself was stunned for a second.

The next moment.

A flash of surprise suddenly welled up in her eyes, and a spark of inspiration struck: "I suddenly have an idea. Why can't there be a romance game that captures both men and women?"

"You have to know, the 'dream girls' in the entertainment industry are no fewer than the otaku."

Lin Yeman's words.

Directly hit the key point, causing Shen Huai to have an epiphany.

That's right!

Since it's all about romance, why be so limited by gender?

Only children make choices; adults, of course, want it all! (End of chapter)
