Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 100 The Tragic Heroine—Chestnut

The day agreed upon with the Mengli Jewelry brand arrived.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the morning light shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. With an amazing willpower, Xie Qing struggled to get out of the warm and comfortable bed.

At this moment, Huo Yunting, already dressed, walked out of the dressing room.

He looked up and saw that Xie Qing was awake. His eyes immediately softened, and he naturally stepped forward, bent down, and kissed the other's fair cheek.

"Qingqing, there's an urgent matter at the company, so I have to go first. Breakfast is ready, remember to eat it before you leave."

Huo Yunting whispered his instructions.

Xie Qing nodded, "Okay, you can go now."

After Huo Yunting left, Xie Qing sat on the bed for a while before washing up and getting dressed.

After going downstairs, Xie Qing headed straight for the restaurant. Her gaze fell on the busy, familiar figure, and she was momentarily stunned.

"Aunt Lan?"

Aunt Lan brought all the breakfasts to the table, and when she heard Xie Qing call her, a smile appeared on her face.

"Young Master Xie, get up."

Xie Qing nodded, took a few steps forward, and asked her, "Aunt Lan, you're back. Are you feeling better?"

Aunt Lan chuckled a few times, "You've recovered from your illness, Young Master Xie, don't worry. Hurry up and eat your breakfast, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xie Qing pulled out a chair and sat down, praising with a smile, "Aunt Lan's breakfast is delicious even when it's cold."

Aunt Lan couldn't stop laughing, and she waved her hand with a smile, saying, "It's not as amazing as you make it out to be."

"Aunt Lan's cooking skills are superb. I only ate it once, but I still remember the taste."

Aunt Lan was embarrassed by Xie Qing's praise and repeatedly said that she still had a soup to take and went back to the kitchen to get it.

Xie smiled and turned her head, only to meet a mournful gaze.

"Chestnut, what are you doing?"

Chestnut looked sad and slowly said, "Young Master Xie, you've never praised me like this before."

Xie Qing: "..."

Chestnut's expression of utter grief was like that of a tragic heroine in a Qiong Yao drama: "Was it because my cooking wasn't delicious enough?"

Xie Qing: "..."

He realized for the first time that Chestnut had a talent for performing.

Just then, Aunt Lan came over with a big bowl of steaming soup, all smiles.

Chestnut, who had just looked like she was "completely devastated," quickly stepped forward upon seeing this.

She reached out and took the soup, repeatedly saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it," her eager manner making her look exactly like a lackey.

Aunt Lan smiled broadly and said gently, "Thank you."

Xie Qing: "..."

After being speechless for the third time, Xie Qing decided to just eat breakfast properly.

After finishing breakfast, Xie Qing got into the car, told Yi Wu where she was going, and then quietly leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings had become somewhat dark.

Yi Wu noticed the commotion in the back seat and explained, "Young Master Xie, we are currently in the underground parking lot of the Mengli Jewelry headquarters building."

The car came to a smooth stop. Xie Qingli put on her mask and got out of the car. Yi Wu followed closely behind, his eyes subconsciously glancing around.

"Uncle Yi, what's wrong...?"

Yi Wu's eyes sharpened and he became serious, looking nothing like the simple-minded person he had been before.

"Young Master Xie, President Huo instructed me to stay close to you and not let you out of his sight."

Xie Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Yi, what did you do before?"

"I've been a special forces soldier and a mercenary abroad."

Xie Qing: ...

As expected, those chosen by Huo Yunting are no pushovers, but the contrast is just too great!

"Okay, I understand. Let's go together then."

After processing the news he had just heard, Xie Qing led Yi Wu to the lobby on the first floor via elevator.

Xie Qing arrived at the front desk. The young woman at the front desk looked up and met a pair of beautiful eyes, leaving her speechless for a few seconds.

After realizing what was happening, she stammered, "Y-you...hello, may I ask...who are you looking for?"

Xie Qing's eyes crinkled, as if amused by the other person, "Xie Qing, come and shoot an endorsement."

The girl blushed slightly, and after realizing who the other person was, she immediately asked someone to lead them upstairs.

The room where the filming took place was very large, and there were quite a few people inside.

As soon as Xie Qing went inside and took off her mask, she was immediately bombarded with stares from all directions.

A woman who looked decisive and efficient walked quickly to Xie Qing.

She extended her hand, a friendly yet slightly strange smile on her face.

"Hello, you must be Xie Qing! I'm Meng Xin, the design director of Mengli Company. You can just call me Director Meng."

Xie Qing shook hands with her, "Hello, Director Meng."

"All the equipment is ready. When would you like to start filming?" Come on, let the storm rage on!

"Do you need to change your clothes now?"

Mengxin: ...Huh?

Did he just... say now?

is this real?

It's no wonder she was surprised; the impression left on her by the popular celebrities her company had previously hired was really bad.

Absolutely terrible!!!

One by one, there was something wrong with this or that, and they kept dragging their feet. The advertisement and filming would take about two hours, and several hours would be wasted before filming even started.

After the shoot, they shamelessly asked them to give them more jewelry, saying it was for better publicity.

But they've never been seen wearing them in public, so they're probably giving them away as gifts.

Seeing that the person didn't speak, Xie Qing called out, "Director Meng?"

"Oh, um... your clothes are ready. There's a changing room inside, just change."

Mengxin snapped out of her daze and immediately spoke.

Xie nodded, took the clothes handed to her, and went into the dressing room.

When he reappeared, he surprised everyone.

He wore an ordinary silver-gray long suit jacket as if it were a high-end luxury product, luxurious yet understated.

The white V-neck shirt inside was opened just right, revealing fair skin and adding a touch of casualness to the overall look. Paired with simple straight-leg trousers, the style was simple yet sophisticated.

Mengxin was a little confused. Wasn't the company's eye for choosing spokespeople always pretty bad? When did it become so good?

She pulled herself away from the beauty and beckoned the makeup artist to come up and do her makeup.

The makeup artist quickly stepped forward, looked at the face in front of her for a long time, and felt that she was not very useful.

However, adhering to her professional principles, she still gave Xie Qing a simple makeup application.

Two minutes later, the makeup artist finished her work.

Mengxin looked at the makeup artist in surprise, "Finished?"

The makeup artist remained calm. "Yes, all done."

Who would understand? She simply covered up the other person's barely noticeable dark circles.

This is absolutely the fastest makeup ever.

Mengxin handed Xie Qing the new bracelet, necklace, and ring from the company and asked him to put them on.

Then, filming officially began.

While Xie Qing was filming, Meng Xin watched from the side, her eyes gradually filling with admiration and praise.

In her opinion, the other person was simply born for the camera; he could perfectly capture every change in movement without needing any prompting from the photographer.

When filming the advertisement video, Xie Qing memorized the lines almost at a glance, and the process was very smooth and natural.

Mengxin: The company has finally figured it out! It wasn't easy!
