Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (91)

It was the first time Chu Xiang involved the company’s public relations department in promoting hype. This made her feel much more relaxed, and with the company’s support, the topic gained even more momentum and achieved more significant results.

She had already discussed the VAM agreement with Manager Liang. Although he hadn’t given her a response yet, she could tell that he would definitely agree. Over the next two years, she and Fang Zhenxuan would bring substantial benefits to the company, and the company’s resources wouldn’t go to waste. Building a closer relationship through frequent interactions was also a way to deepen their connection. Only those who have fought together could be called comrades-in-arms, right?

The company liked this kind of promotion that not only solved problems but also increased popularity because it made their work less troublesome. Moreover, Chu Xiang was always generous, so helping her with tasks was just part of their job, and she would treat everyone at the office to drinks and snacks. This small gesture of care was enough to make them happy while working, and their fondness for her and Fang Zhenxuan continued to grow, making their assistance even more meticulous.

Many of the girls who were fans of Fang Zhenxuan were students, and some of their parents didn’t approve of them being fans, or even if they supported them, they themselves didn’t like celebrities. If they discover that the celebrity their child likes smokes or drinks, it will further generate a subconscious aversion.

But on this day, many fans’ parents discovered that their children suddenly started studying seriously, putting in extra effort and being particularly proactive. It was like the sun rising from the west. Upon closer inquiry, they found out that their children were inspired by their idol’s call to study and to achieve impressive academic results. This immediately created a favorable impression of Fang Zhenxuan in their hearts.

When they heard that Fang Zhenxuan himself was a high-achiever, consistently achieving excellent grades in exams, and also excelling in the entertainment industry, the parents liked him even more. Who wouldn’t like someone else’s child who showed such positive qualities? It made people even happier when their own children were motivated to improve themselves.

As a result, parents were persuaded by their children to watch The Legend of Noble Consort Jing and Extreme Mode. The viewership ratings of these TV dramas and variety shows inexplicably increased. Even the episode of The Legend of Noble Consort Jing, featuring Fang Zhenxuan promoting the drama, saw a boost in ratings. And then, there was the Dazhen chewing gum. The student fans at home started buying Dazhen chewing gum to support their idol, and they would no longer be criticized. Some families even started buying it, because why not?

Previously, there were some people saying that Chu Xiang was a koi fish in terms of generating money, and now Fang Zhenxuan also gained the title of a good luck charm within the industry. Viewership ratings were a solid indicator of success, and who wouldn’t like an artist who could boost the ratings of any program they participate in? Suddenly, there was an increase of people sending WeChat messages to Chu Xiang to maintain contact, inquiring about their relationship, and discussing scheduling.

The next day, Zhou Yuan and the others heard from their assistant about Fang Zhenxuan’s viral search, finally learning what he had done at Chu Xiang’s place late at night. The three girls couldn’t help but sneer when they thought about Zhou Yuan subtly mocking him behind his back. His mind was full of work, adding a beautiful touch to his path of fame, but what was Zhou Yuan’s mind full of? No wonder she couldn’t compete with him.

Even though Fang Zhenxuan only slept for two hours, he appeared energetic when he came out for the shooting. Youth was a great asset; there was no trace of fatigue from staying up late. That day, he energetically completed the entire recording session, having a great time with the four girls. Or more accurately, the three girls had a great time, while Zhou Yuan just forced a smile.

But no one cared about Zhou Yuan’s state. As soon as the recording ended, Fang Zhenxuan eagerly bid farewell to everyone and went with Chu Xiang to the hotel they had booked. They still had time in the evening; they could go and have a French cuisine dinner, then take a walk on the streets and enjoy the night view.

They could relax and walk openly on the streets without being recognized by anyone abroad.

Chu Xiang had been an international superstar before, and during that time, she could be recognized by people in any city around the world. However, she didn’t find it bothersome. When she was a demon cultivator, everyone in the cultivation world knew her, although back then, nobody dared to approach her.

She glanced at Fang Zhenxuan, who appeared relaxed beside her, and asked, “Have you ever thought about becoming internationally famous, where people from other countries would recognize you?”

Fang Zhenxuan paused for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless. “No, I just debuted recently, and being a celebrity wasn’t my dream before. Why would I entertain this thought?”

He looked around at the pedestrians walking by and pondered for a moment. “Actually, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m not bothered by others recognizing me. I don’t deliberately seek the feeling of being an ordinary person. When you choose something, you have to give up something else. When you gain something, you lose something. It’s normal. It’s pointless to be entangled in contradictory aspects and only trouble yourself. I think I would prefer to achieve great success because once I entered this industry, I sought to do my best.”

Chu Xiang glanced at him and asked, “Is this the competitive spirit of a lawyer? Never wanting to lose in anything?”

Fang Zhenxuan shrugged. “Maybe. I indeed don’t like losing, but if I lose, then that’s the end of it. I’ll learn from the experience and win the next time. No lawyer always wins, and sometimes losing isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just like in the world; there are many things that cannot be resolved through law, so the outcome of a lawsuit may not always be of significant importance.”

Chu Xiang felt a slight stirring in her heart and turned to look at his expression. “Have you… encountered something that couldn’t be solved by law? Your sister’s case?”

Fang Zhenxuan halted and turned to face her. He lowered his head to look at her with a gentle smile. “Why are you always so clever? Don’t worry, a gentleman’s revenge can be sought even after ten years. I’ve already waited for several years; I’m not in a rush. For now, let’s focus on our rise to stardom, and when we have the resources, we can think about those unhappy matters, alright?”

“Okay. Then tell me about the cases you know. I think being a lawyer sounds quite interesting,” Chu Xiang naturally changed the topic and continued walking with him. Since he didn’t want to talk about it for now, then they could address it later. She wouldn’t let him suffer any losses anyway.
