Chapter 185: Endorsement

However, Mingxi had made a reservation today, as there were limited private rooms capable of accommodating large Transcendent creatures.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

A deliberately softened knock sounded, interrupting the elegant wolfing down of food by one person and three Transcendent creatures.

“Miss Ming, our young master has arrived. He asked me to inquire if you would be convenient to have lunch together?”

Fu Yifan came to eat too? He hasn't returned to Han Ning City yet?

Is he planning to wait until after college applications are submitted before leaving?

Mingxi looked up from the enthusiastic hospitality of the meal, “Yes, let him come over.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, revealing Fu Yifan’s handsome youthful face.

Evidently, he was right behind the server.

A bit of etiquette, but not much.

“Junior, if I had known you were at Sui He Restaurant, I would have come earlier.”

After complaining, Fu Yifan began greeting Golden Yuanbao and the other two, his manner so enthusiastic it was almost fawning.

“Golden Yuanbao, you’re truly becoming more and more domineering, outshining my Mountain King by several planets.”

“Oh, esteemed Silver Flower Heavenly Venerable Highness, your beauty and elegance have once again dazzled my eyes.”

“Lan Yue, when did you become so noble and so handsome? I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Goodness, he paid attention to the emotions of every Transcendent creature.

And the compliments were all different.

Mingxi even felt like admitting defeat, “Senior, did you go somewhere to major in flattery?”

“Junior, you jest. How could I know any flattery? All my words come from the heart, every word is sincere, it’s all true emotion.”

Mingxi: “...”

“Oh, right, I haven’t congratulated you on becoming the youngest D-level Beastmaster in history. How about this, your meal today is on me!”

Mingxi wasn’t surprised that Fu Yifan knew about her promotion to D-level so quickly.

Breaking a record was, at the very least, news. The youth who had just escaped the shackles of the high school entrance exam was recently addicted to the internet and couldn’t extricate himself, so he must have seen related news.

“No need, it’s not a big deal.”

“This isn’t big? Your name and Lei Yan Great Wind’s have appeared on the front page of international news.”

Mingxi let out an ‘ah’, “What international news?”

It couldn’t be, could it?

Breaking a record, while uncommon, shouldn’t warrant international news front-page coverage, right?

It would be enough for Dragonflower Country media to make a fuss.

Fu Yifan knew she rarely paid attention to new online trends, so he briefly recounted the series of changes that occurred in Yinhe Country after she and Jin Zhenghua became the main lottery players.

“...So, just because of a gamble, riots broke out in multiple places in Yinhe Country?”

Mingxi felt as if she had heard a completely illogical, brainless story.

It would be one thing for a single region to riot, but it happened in multiple places.

Do the people of Yinhe Country have some kind of linked gene in their bodies?

It’s too absurd!

“That’s the truth, no need to doubt. There are many videos online of on-site smashing and violent confrontations, so this matter cannot be false.”

Actually, he also found it quite absurd.

“The world is vast, and indeed full of wonders.”

Mingxi could only sigh like that.

Next, Fu Yifan ordered many more dishes and energy meals. Mingxi felt a bit full, but looking at the delicious food in front of her, she seemed to have the strength to fight again.

It wasn't until her throat started whimpering and crying, begging for no more, that Mingxi stopped her eating frenzy.

Golden, Silver, and Lan then began sharing the different flavored energy meals Fu Yifan ordered with Crimson Flame Tiger.

Transcendent creatures’ stomachs are flexible, so they couldn’t stop eating.

At this moment, Mingxi’s personal terminal suddenly rang.

It was an unknown call.

Mingxi didn’t have the good habit of not answering unknown calls. She greeted Fu Yifan and calmly picked up.

“Hello, may I speak to Miss Mingxi Ming?”

A deep, unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the terminal.

Mingxi: “This is she.”

“Hello, Miss Mingxi. I am Heng Chong, the General Manager of Ling Ye Group’s Han Ning City branch.”

Mingxi blinked. Ling Ye Group? Heng Chong?

What is all this about?

Is it a telecom scam?

This world can’t possibly have kidney-harvesting gangs, can it?

Her eyes were a little confused, but her voice remained calm: “Hello, General Manager Heng. May I ask what this call is for?”

Uncertain, probe further.

“Miss Ming, I wonder if you are interested in becoming an endorser for our company’s products?”

Endorsement?

Her?

Mingxi looked at Fu Yifan, who was curiously looking at her from across the table. She first said ‘Excuse me, please wait’ to the man on the other end of the terminal, and after getting his response.

She temporarily muted her mic and asked Fu Yifan: “Do you know Heng Chong from Ling Ye Group?”

Ling Ye is a very famous professional sports brand in Dragonflower Country, mainly engaged in professional and casual sports shoes, apparel, sports equipment, and accessories.

It has established a vast retail distribution network and supply chain management system in Dragonflower Country, occupying at least half of the domestic sports market, and also a significant market share across the entire Blue Star.

Although Ling Ye’s products follow a popular light luxury route, their recognition and influence are definitely considered top-tier among Dragonflower Country’s sports brands.

Such a big brand wants her to endorse them?

How did she feel more and more like it was a scam?

Fu Yifan was stunned: “Brother Heng Chong? I know him, he and my uncle are good friends.”

Mingxi heard this and thought, isn’t this a coincidence?

She tapped her personal terminal and said: “The person on the other end claims to be Heng Chong, the General Manager of Ling Ye Group, and wants me to be an endorser. Senior, help me verify its authenticity.”

After speaking, she reconnected the call and turned on the speakerphone.

Fu Yifan: “Ah? Is it real or fake?”

Then he uncertainly called out: “Brother Heng Chong?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Heng Chong was also startled, “Yifan?”

“It really is Brother Heng Chong, bro, it’s me, Yifan.”

“Are you and Miss Ming friends?”

“Yes, Mingxi and I went to the same Junior high school; she’s my Junior. I heard Brother Heng Chong, you’re looking for Mingxi to be an endorser?

Then, brother, you have excellent taste! My Junior is now the youngest D-level Beastmaster in history! You’ve absolutely found the right person by choosing her to endorse Ling Ye!

With her growth rate, she’ll eventually stand on the Star Sea Cup stage!

At that time, Ling Ye will also benefit from ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ her success.

And she...”

Next, Fu Yifan seemed to transform into an emotionless praise machine, complimenting Mingxi, Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, and Lan Yue from head to toe, from fur to scales.

Mingxi tried to interrupt his passionate speech several times but was ignored by him.

Yet, Heng Chong on the other end listened attentively, occasionally agreeing, but never showing impatience.

ε = ε = ε = ε = ε = ┌ ( ; ￣ ◇ ￣ ) ┘

She wanted to escape.

She suspected Fu Yifan wanted to ascend to the throne because her toes were already digging out a Forbidden City.

Not only was Mingxi embarrassed, but even the usually arrogant Golden Yuanbao and the vain Little Silver Flower showed a dazed expression under this barrage of free flattery.

Only the aloof Lan Yue remained unfazed.
