Chapter 90: The Client is King!

While Fang Zhou was still regretting his small habits, Chu Xinran had already regained her composure.

A genuine smile appeared on her lips, more sincere than before, as she softly said, “Then I must try it properly.”

With that, she tore open the packaging, broke off a piece of the white chocolate with her slender fingers, and put it into her mouth.

The unique taste of chocolate spread through her mouth, immediately conquering her taste buds. The dopamine secretion sped up, and her mood improved significantly.

“How is it? Tasty?”

Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Fang Wenjing eagerly asked.

Her eyes seemed to speak, almost writing ‘my recommendation is not bad’ on them.

Chu Xinran laughed lightly and nodded.

“It’s indeed delicious.”

She extended the chocolate forward and gently said, “You should try it too.”

Fang Wenjing waved her hands repeatedly, giving a brief explanation.

“I can’t eat this, pretty sister, you go ahead.”

Being refused didn’t bother Chu Xinran. Instead, she naturally turned and raised her eyebrow at Fang Zhou.

“How about you try?”

The owner of the green dress wasn’t aggressive, but Fang Zhou read another meaning from her expression.

Since his sister was here, Fang Zhou didn’t want to reveal his relationship with Chu Xinran or discuss his ex-girlfriends at home.

Stay calm, since she’s substituting, she’ll leave soon.

He raised his hand to take the chocolate from Chu Xinran, broke off a small piece, and put it in his mouth.

The originally delicious chocolate now tasted bland, perhaps because of his unsettled mind.

“Is it good?”

Fang Zhou nodded, collected himself, and smiled brightly, saying loudly, “It’s good, but my sister got one thing wrong. I no longer like chocolate.”

Saying this, he placed the chocolate on the table and reminded his sister, “Study well, I’ll go pack my luggage.”

Then he left the living room and went into his room.

Chu Xinran looked at the chocolate on the table and laughed softly.

What does he mean? Is he hinting that I shouldn’t overthink?

Is he saying that I, Fang Zhou, didn’t like it because of you, Chu Xinran, and I can abandon it anytime?

The woman who was as pure as a white flower had her pupils slowly darken, with something churning inside, ready to pour out at any moment.

Too bad, Fang Zhou, I won’t let you leave my world so easily. Once was enough.

Alone in his room, Fang Zhou unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Chu Xinran’s gaze was too oppressive.

He quickly pulled out his phone, found tutor Wu Shu’s WeChat, and sent a message to inquire about the situation.

Light Boat: Teacher Wu, why didn’t you come today and sent someone else instead?

The other party quickly replied.

“Sorry, Brother Fang, I fell yesterday and am still in the hospital today, unable to go out. I already informed Wenjing this morning. If you’re dissatisfied, you can deduct my pay.”

Since she had explained so thoroughly, Fang Zhou couldn’t blame her. He could only advise, “It’s okay, take care and get well soon.”

“Sigh.”

Fang Zhou let out a long sigh, releasing all his earlier shock and tension.

He couldn’t determine whether Chu Xinran’s visit was a coincidence or deliberate.

He could only protect his sister as best as he could with the limited information he had.

Recalling six months ago when his sister was taken away by Qin Yun, Fang Zhou still felt a lingering fear.

Such a thing must never happen again.

No one can harm my sister.

He lowered his eyes, looked at his hands, and made a firm decision in his heart.

Once he had money, he would take his sister to a city where no one knew them.

Far from illness, far from love, far from harm.

While planning his future actions, a WeChat notification popped up with a friend request.

The note read: xx Brand Promotion Assistant, Peng Xinyi.

Fang Zhou’s eyes lit up, instantly energized.

Just when I needed it!

This isn’t just an assistant; this is a money-bringing sponsor!

Assistant Peng: Hello Fang Zhou, I am Peng Xinyi, the promotion assistant for xx brand. I contacted Director Liu and heard you are interested in collaborating with our brand, correct?

Light Boat: Yes, I am honored to be chosen by your company. Please let me know how I can assist.

Assistant Peng: I wouldn’t dare give orders, but we need your cooperation for our new product promotion. Would you be willing?

Seeing this message, Fang Zhou raised his eyebrows, thinking: So it’s a new product, no wonder they’re looking for newcomers.

But why choose me among so many people?

Never mind, I’ll take the money first!

Light Boat: Sure, sure, just tell me what the product is and how to promote it.

Assistant Peng: Our product is aimed at the umbrella market, targeting lower-tier markets. You just need to put the product link in your game streaming room.

Light Boat: Umbrellas? That’s easy! I’ll put it up!

Fang Zhou thought: It’s just an umbrella. Since it’s for lower-tier markets, it shouldn’t be too expensive. It’ll sell hundreds in minutes in my stream.

Assistant Peng: Ahem, our umbrella isn’t the common rain umbrella. It’s small and has a different use…

Light Boat: What do you mean? A small umbrella? Is it what I think it is?

Assistant Peng: Yes, it’s exactly what you think.

Then the other party sent a product packaging image, clearly showing everything.

The moment Fang Zhou saw the three words on the packaging, he froze, his pupils dilated, and he felt unwell.

What the heck?

What small umbrella???

It really is what I thought???

Why would the brand approach me for this?

Do I really look like a scumbag…

He could already imagine the scene of this thing in his streaming room, with male fans joking and female fans scolding, “Fang Zhou, you shameless! Putting this in your stream and corrupting minors, I’ll report you!”

Light Boat: This product would be hard to place in my stream.

He would be drowned in the spit of his fans.

Finally getting popular through the dating show, and now selling this…

Assistant Peng: We understand your difficulty, so we’ve increased the fee by 30%. Is 80,000 okay?

80,000??

Fang Zhou’s eyes widened, suddenly less resistant.

Seeing no reply, the other party raised the stakes.

Assistant Peng: If 80,000 isn’t enough, how about 100,000? That’s our limit. If you’re unwilling, we’ll find someone else.

Fang Zhou: I’ve seen clients haggling, but never raising their own price.

This is 100,000, who wouldn’t take it?
