I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 62

Li Changsheng’s face darkened. How dare a mere entertainer, an actress from the entertainment industry, speak to him in such a tone?

Who did she think she was? Did she really believe she was some goddess?

“Qin Yunxuan, do you have any idea what you’re saying?” Li Changsheng said coldly. “Who do you think you are, to speak to me like that?”

Everyone was shocked. No one had expected Li Changsheng to say such things!

“Aren’t you just a singer? Is it really so difficult to sing a song? And you want me to dance for you? Do you even have the standing for that? You’re utterly overestimating yourself!”

Qin Yunxuan’s face also darkened. “What exactly do you mean by that?”

“Qin Yunxuan, don’t think that just because you’re a female celebrity, you’re something so special. In my eyes, you’re nothing but a high-class courtesan!”

“Young Master!” Manager Sun was utterly shocked. What kind of madness had possessed Li Changsheng?

“Manager Sun, I know perfectly well what I’m doing!” Li Changsheng said calmly. “Qin Yunxuan, you’d better recognize your position. Our Brocade Garments choosing you as our spokesperson is a tremendous opportunity for you. And yet, you make excuses and refuse to sing a simple song? Do you really think you’re some international superstar now?”

As these words fell, the crowd erupted in murmurs.

No one could have imagined Li Changsheng saying such things publicly. It was no different from slapping Qin Yunxuan across the face in front of everyone.

Everyone expected Qin Yunxuan to fly into a rage, but they were all disappointed.

Qin Yunxuan’s expression was calm. Not only did she not seem angry, but there was even a hint of pity in her eyes.

“You must have been hoping I’d get angry, lose my temper, say something reckless, or even hit you, right?”

“But unfortunately for you… I actually don’t care about your opinion of me!”

“Because your thoughts don’t determine my attitude, nor can they influence my future!”

“Just as a lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of wild dogs, if you believe this collaboration is some kind of favor to me, then we can terminate it at any time!”

“Sister Lin, let’s go.”

With that, Qin Yunxuan turned to leave.

“Who are you trying to fool with that act of purity? Everyone knows exactly what you are. Do you really think spreading your legs for the higher-ups at Starlight Entertainment means you can rest easy?”

Slap! — Well, not a slap, but a splash. Qin Yunxuan grabbed a glass of baijiu from the table and flung it squarely into Li Changsheng’s face.

The harsh liquor stung his face like a physical blow.

“If you never learned how to speak properly, then shut your filthy mouth! I know you’ve been trying to provoke me. Congratulations, you succeeded!”

Li Changsheng wiped the alcohol from his face, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.

“You bitch! How dare you throw a drink at me? Just you wait, I’ll make you regret this!”

The Starlight Entertainment team left. The celebratory banquet meant to mark the occasion ended in discord and unhappiness.

“Young Master, what were you thinking?” Manager Sun was on the verge of despair, nearly going insane.

They had finally secured the successful signing; he was just about to report the success to the big boss, and now the Young Master had ruined everything!

“Manager Sun, what’s with that expression? Are you blaming me?”

“Young Master, your actions were indeed ill-considered. I know you’ve never liked Qin Yunxuan, but… since we are now collaborating, we are partners. So…”

“So we need to maintain good relations? Do you think that’s necessary? What does it matter if the relationship is bad? Do you really think they dare terminate the contract? Don’t forget, if they want to break the contract, they’ll have to pay a massive penalty fee!”

A smug smile spread across Li Changsheng’s face. “Do you know why I waited until after signing to treat her like this? Because she’s already leashed to me; there’s no way she can escape!”

Manager Sun shook his head. “The big boss will be furious.”

Li Changsheng laughed. “Don’t worry. This incident won’t have any negative impact on Brocade Garments. On the contrary…”

He waved his hand, and a waiter from nearby approached.

“Did you handle what I asked you to prepare earlier?”

The waiter nodded, then pulled out a camera. It clearly contained recordings of everything that had just happened.

“With this, Qin Yunxuan will have no choice but to do exactly as we say.”

Li Changsheng’s face was full of confidence.

…

“Xuanxuan, that was a bit impulsive of you just now.”

On the way back, Sister Lin looked somewhat worried.

Qin Yunxuan shook her head. “Li Changsheng has always held a grudge against me. If I hadn’t been a little impulsive, who knows what other tricks he might have pulled? Besides…”

She paused and then asked, “Sure, it was impulsive, but was it satisfying?”

Recalling the scene of Qin Yunxuan throwing the drink in Li Changsheng’s face, a smile finally broke through Sister Lin’s worry. “Extremely satisfying.”

“Well, there you have it!” Qin Yunxuan said with a laugh. “As long as it was satisfying, who cares about being impulsive?”

“But what about the endorsement deal… are we going to continue with it?”

Qin Yunxuan thought for a moment, then her eyes sparkled with an idea. “Let’s leave this matter to Old Yun for now. His daughter was bullied. Let’s see if he wants his daughter, or if he wants this paltry endorsement fee.”

“You!” Sister Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Oh, right, Sister Lin, did you manage to record what happened earlier?”

“Don’t worry, I came prepared. I got it all on camera.”

Sister Lin patted her bag.

“Good. Since they want to play games, we’ll play along. Let’s see who comes out on top in the end.”

“Li Changsheng’s nonsense isn’t the most urgent matter right now, though,” Sister Lin suddenly said. “There’s something much more pressing you need to deal with.”

Qin Yunxuan blinked. “What is it?”

“Didn’t you post a call for suggestions on Weibo? The 48-hour deadline is almost up today. You need to figure out what song you’re going to write for your fans!”

Huh? Qin Yunxuan was dumbstruck.

She quickly opened her Weibo and found the post from two days ago.

[“To give back to my fans, I’ve decided to write a song especially for you, my dearest ones!”]
[“You can vote in the poll under this post!”]
[“You choose the theme, and I’ll write the song!”]
[“In 48 hours, I will choose the topic with the most votes.”]
[“I hope we can create a song together that’s even more iconic than ‘Blue Lotus’!”]
…

Under that post, there were already hundreds of thousands of comments. The most-liked one had over five hundred thousand likes.

“A fan-themed essay assignment?” Qin Yunxuan’s face showed a pained expression.

She wasn’t Qin Lang! How was she supposed to write this?

“Qin Lang, you’ve really left me with quite a challenge here!”
