Ever since she returned from VICI, Lin Xi had been waiting at home for the results of the audition.

But after more than half a month, when Lin Xi still did not receive her notification, she started to feel apprehensive.

Until VICI announced on the official website that a new product would be released in three days, and a new spokesperson would be announced at the same time. Lin Xi's heart completely sank — — She had lost.

She held high hopes for this spokesperson. Suddenly, she discovered that she had been defeated and became listless.

Fortunately, the madame had recently gone to the Qin family's ancestral house residence and wasn't at home. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be in the mood to chat with the old lady.

Lin Xi stayed at home for three whole days. In the morning, three days later, she was lying on her bed doubting her own life when Qin Yu suddenly knocked on her door and said: "If you don't get up, you will be late for the press conference."

Lin Xi said with a wooden face: "What press conference? I'm not the spokesperson so what does being late have to do with me? "

"You're not the spokesperson?" Qin Yu looked at Lin Xi's dejected face and suddenly realized something. He then asked Lin Xi: "Could it be that no one has informed you in the VICI, and they are certain that you are the spokesperson?"

Lin Xi thought that he was just joking, and asked Qin Yu instead with widened eyes: "That's right, if I was the spokesperson, why didn't anyone notify me?"

Although the VICI spokesperson kept it a secret from the public before the press conference, at least she would greet him in advance, but she had never received any notice from him.

Qin Yu's brows furrowed even tighter as he thought of a possibility.

He and Gao Quan had decided on Bai Nianxi as the spokesperson for the VICI. Gao Quan knew that Bai Nianxi was his fiancee and even knew that she lived with him, so he thought that he would tell her the news immediately. Therefore, Gao Quan did not make any further notifications, but neither did he.

Lin Xi felt that Qin Yu was not joking, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Don't tell me, is it because the company forgot to notify me?"

She was only asking casually, but she did not expect Qin Yu to admit it. "It was indeed a mistake by the company, I forgot to inform you."

"What?!"

She had waited anxiously for the results of the month, had endured the three miserable days, and now told her that she was the spokesperson for VICI, but that she had forgotten to inform her!

Lin Xi was about to burst into anger: "I thought that it was me who failed the test and felt sad for a long time alone, and even cried a few times secretly at night, but now you are telling me because the company forgot to inform me, how can such a large company like VICI make such a low level mistake?"

Because it was the company's fault, Qin Yu patiently explained: "I won't deny that this was indeed our company's fault, but …"

However, Lin Xi was complaining furiously, and did not listen to what Qin Yu was saying at all. She interrupted him and continued to speak like a cannonball: "Did you deliberately not let people know? I know you hate me, but if you didn't want me to speak for you, why did you give me the chance to audition? Do you know how cruel it is to give me a chance and take it away from me now? "You are simply …"

Lin Xi's following words, were suddenly blocked by Qin Yu's lips.

She was kissed by Qin Yu again.

Qin Yu stayed on her lips for a very short time, only three or four seconds. Then, he quickly pulled away from her.

"You, you, you …" Lin Xi's face became red again, and she covered her lips slowly.

That kiss just now, Qin Yu only wanted to stop Bai Nianxi's mouth, he did not think much about it, but looking at Bai Nianxi's blushing face, he felt his heart soften.

He coughed in disguise and warned, "If you don't want to be kissed again, listen to me."

Lin Xi did not know what was going on with him, every time she was finished with a kiss, her head would stay stuck for a while, and normally when she was sharp enough to speak, she would not be able to say anything.

Qin Yu looked at the time, and continued: "Right now, we are rushing to the press conference, there is still time. Of course, if you want to give up on this endorsement due to anger, I won't stop you. "

Lin Xi snappily replied, "I'll go." Although she was angry, she still needed a endorsement.

"Then you still have thirty minutes to wash up and dress up." Qin Yu reminded her as a matter of fact.

"Got it." Lin Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Thirty minutes, she had been given ten more minutes than last time when she went to pick up Old Madem Qin.

Lin Xi quickly finished packing and rushed to the venue with Qin Yu.

As Lin Xi had never participated in a rehearsal before, and no one had ever communicated with her about the process of the press conference in advance, when they arrived at the scene, Qin Yu specifically told her to stay close to him so as to not make any mistakes at the press conference.

The two of them walked into the arena one after another. Lin Xi followed behind Qin Yu and occasionally, Qin Yu turned his head to take care of her. The person involved didn't feel anything, but in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them seemed very close. They had only taken a few steps when they couldn't help but look at each other.

Gao Quan was one of those "outsiders".

He went to the set early in the morning, and upon seeing the two entering the stage, his eyelids involuntarily twitched. Didn't Director Qin just say that he would not reveal his relationship with Bai Nianxi for the time being? At least it's better to stay out of the way for a while. It's easy for sharp-eyed media outlets to find some clues when showing their love so blatantly, okay?

At the same time, Li Muqing, who was in the middle of the crowd, also noticed Qin Yu and Bai Nianxi. She clenched her teeth and looked at the two of them with eyes filled with unwillingness and jealousy.

In fact, aside from occasionally working with the host on the spot, the so called spokesperson spent most of his time as a mascot to take pictures of others. As long as he stood there in silence, it would be fine.

Lin Xi had done this kind of thing many times in her previous life. Now, even though she was disguised as a mascot, she was under no pressure at all.

The reporters who had been invited to the press conference had all been pre-screened beforehand. What questions could she ask or not ask, they had all been pre-arranged beforehand. As a result, she didn't receive too much trouble from the reporters.

The whole process of the press conference proceeded smoothly. Under Qin Yu's constant prompting, without any mistakes, Lin Xi signed the contract with VICI, the spokesperson for the event.

Holding the signed contract, Lin Xi was full of joy. When she looked at Qin Yu again, the anger from the morning was suddenly gone.

During the segment with the reporters, Qin Yu stood to the left of her side and still maintained a cold and aloof expression, such that even Gao Quan did not dare speak to him directly. However, every time the reporters asked her tricky questions, even if he was impatient, Qin Yu would lower his head slightly and whisper hints into her ear.

Thinking about it, Lin Xi actually felt a bit of gratitude towards Qin Yu. Moreover, if it wasn't for Qin Yu, he wouldn't have had the chance to try out the VICI.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll doubt if you're in love with me."

Qin Yu's voice suddenly sounded by her ear. Lin Xi suddenly regained her senses and realized that she had unknowingly stared at Qin Yu for a long time.

"I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at Boss Gao." Lin Xi tried to defend herself.

Qin Yu tilted his head and glanced at Gao Quan: "Oh, CEO Gao's thinning hair and suit also can't cover your stomach. It's indeed quite nice."

Lin Xi, "... This is the type I like, no? "

"Sure, but don't give me a green hat while Grandmother is at home." Qin Yu warned her softly.

Lin Xi chuckled, and was about to retort, but Qin Yu suddenly said: "I'm leaving first, there's going to be a reception later, the people invited are all VICI partners, you, as the spokesperson, have to attend."

With that, he directly left the scene, not giving Lin Xi a chance to speak.

Lin Xi couldn't help but slap her face: Every time we bicker, we would always be at a disadvantage, how infuriating!

The press conference was nearing its end, so Lin Xi went to the backstage to fix her makeup. Then, as the spokesperson for the event, she was invited by Gao Quan to the ball party at the end of the ceremony.

Just as the two of them reached the entrance of the royal ball, the waiter standing guard handed Lin Xi and Gao Quan a cup of wine. Just as the two of them clinked glasses, Gao Quan, the host, was called away for drinks.

Lin Xi did not see Qin Yu at the royal ball, it was obvious that he, as the CEO, would give a lot of face to VICI, so he would not attend tonight's royal ball.

The people who came to the party today were all famous people in the market. As Qin Yu did not publicly announce his relationship with Lin Xi, in their eyes, Lin Xi was just a small spokesperson, very few people came forward to greet her.

Lin Xi did not like social meetups to begin with, so she found a quiet corner to eat.

She hadn't had time to eat in the morning, and she'd been standing on the stage most of the day, hungry.

The preparation for the buffet at the party was not bad. As Lin Xi was busy eating, she suddenly heard someone call out to her.

She turned her head and saw Li Muqing walking over with two cups of wine.

"Little Xi, congratulations on getting the VICI endorsement." Li Muqing passed one cup of wine to Lin Xi.

Li Muqing had come to represent her in the royal ball, but today, it was as if she had suddenly changed her sex drive. Seeing that not only did Lin Xi not target her, she even tried to get close to her.

Hence, she did not take the alcohol in Li Muqing's hand. She was afraid that there would be something unclean added inside, so she turned around and picked up her own red wine cup. After drinking a mouthful, she perfunctorily thanked Li Muqing.

Lin Xi did not take Li Muqing's wine, and Li Muqing was not angry either. Instead, she recommended a friend to her: "This is Director Li Huai An, I was very surprised to see you at the press conference, I want to get to know you."

Only then did Lin Xi notice the man behind Li Muqing. He looked to be around forty years old and had pretty well-maintained. She did not have a middle age where she was fat and healthy, but her eyes were cloudy and she looked at with vulgar eyes with ill intentions.

Lin Xi frowned, she finally understood Li Muqing's intentions, it seemed like she was trying to pull a fast one on her behalf.

She coldly rejected him, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry right now. I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with you two."

With that, she pushed Li Muqing away and was about to leave when her legs suddenly weakened. Following that, her body uncontrollably fell down.

Li Muqing immediately reached out to support her.

"You drugged me?" Lin Xi's voice became weak.

Seeing the twisted smile on Li Muqing's face, Lin Xi's heart already had an answer. Unexpectedly, she was cautious enough to not touch the alcohol offered to her by Li Muqing, but she was still tricked.

Lin Xi wanted to struggle free from Li Muqing's hands, but she was currently in a very bad state.

Lin Xi's struggle was nothing to Li Muqing, she suddenly lowered his head and whispered into Lin Xi's ear: "Tell me, if you were to be dirty, would Qin Yu still like you?"

After asking that, she didn't wait for Lin Xi's reply and only chuckled twice to herself before pushing Lin Xi into Li Huaian's arms.

"The first moment of the Spring Lantern Festival is worth a thousand gold. Enjoy it."
