I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 79

Qin Lang’s words sounded like the biggest joke in the world to Li Yinian’s ears!

Reaching A-list star status from a C-list celebrity in just half a year? Wasn’t that utterly ridiculous and absurd?

The criteria of the Ursa Major Rating Agency were extremely fair and just; no one in this world had ever risen to A-list status in just two short years!

Even Chen Qiyun, hailed as the talented songwriting prodigy, had only been rated as an A-list singer after a decade in the industry and countless hit songs!

And now, Qin Yunxuan wanted to become an A-list star in half a year?

Unless the Ursa Major Rating Agency was owned by her family, how could that ever be possible!

Watching Li Yinian’s disbelieving gaze, Qin Lang remained perfectly calm.

“Whether I can do it or not is my business. I’m just asking you, do you dare to agree to this?”

If Qin Yunxuan really became an A-list star by then, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to become the overseas ambassador for Brocade Apparel, but still…

No matter what, Li Yinian simply couldn’t believe it!

Even if Starlight Entertainment used every resource at its disposal over these six months, it would still be impossible to achieve.

After all, objective rules were objective rules; they couldn’t be easily overturned by sheer human effort.

Skill, a body of work, seniority, reputation… all of these were indispensable.

“Fine, in that case, I agree!” After a moment’s thought, Li Yinian said in a deep voice. “If you can truly rise to A-list status within six months, then I will let you become the overseas ambassador for our Brocade Apparel! But if you fail to reach A-list status…”

“Then the matter ends there!” Qin Lang immediately replied.

Li Yinian gave Qin Lang a long, deep look, then glanced at Yun Sihai. “President Yun, the artists at your Starlight… are quite something else!”

“Haha, you flatter me, you flatter me. But since we’ve all reached an understanding, why don’t we sign the contract now? Avoid any complications, right?” Yun Sihai pulled a contract out of his desk drawer and said with a smile.

Li Yinian felt his blood pressure spike. Judging by this setup, they had probably been prepared to drive a hard bargain all along, right? They even had the contract ready!

He glanced at his disappointing son. If he didn’t have only this one son, he would have strangled him right then and there!

Because of a petty grudge from a year ago, Brocade Apparel now had to pay a heavy price!

…

After the new contract was signed, Li Yinian left dejectedly, with Li Changsheng slinking away behind him.

Only then did Yun Sihai let out a hearty, cheerful laugh.

“Haha, that was incredibly satisfying! That guy Li Yinian’s face… it was like watching a Peking Opera mask change colors. Absolutely hilarious!”

Watching the jubilant Yun Sihai, Qin Lang felt a sense of relief.

From the current outcome, everything had gone quite smoothly.

Trading the online criticism from before for these solid, tangible benefits felt like a very good deal to Qin Lang.

More importantly, from start to finish, Qin Yunxuan hadn’t actually suffered any real harm. At the banquet, she had been harassed by Li Changsheng a few times, but she had retaliated by throwing a drink in his face!

As for the subsequent online accusations of her being a diva, they meant nothing to Qin Lang!

Hadn’t Qin Yunxuan faced plenty of online hate before?

However, because of this, she not only rose from being the spokesperson for Yunshang to becoming the full-fledged domestic spokesperson for Jinxiu Clothing, but also owns four design brands. The subsequent profits will definitely be astronomical!

As for the overseas ambassador role… if Qin Lang could reach A-list status within six months, then becoming the overseas ambassador would provide Qin Yunxuan with immeasurable help.

All in all, this negotiation had been extremely fruitful, leaving them handsomely rewarded!

Yun Sihai looked at Qin Yunxuan with deep satisfaction. His initial main reason for letting her enter the entertainment industry was to help her understand how the business worked, preparing her to eventually take over the family enterprise.

But he never expected that his daughter, formerly a tech-obsessed homebody, would achieve so much. And… judging from the recent negotiation, she was already revealing a sharp, formidable edge.

Even he, at her age, couldn’t have done much better!

So, he felt both excited and happy.

His daughter had finally grown up and could now appreciate his well-intentioned efforts. Perhaps the cold war that had existed between them for the past year was slowly thawing.

“Xuanxuan, although we’ve gained significant benefits from Brocade Apparel through this, the biggest potential prize is the overseas ambassador role in six months. If you can secure it, you can leverage Brocade Apparel’s resources to massively expand your popularity overseas, even globally!”

“But the key question is… in six months, can you really rise to A-list status?”

A trace of gravity appeared on Yun Sihai’s face.

Qin Yunxuan had only just been promoted to C-list, and she was still near the bottom of that tier. So… rising to A-list status in half a year was truly not an easy task!

However, if she actually managed it, Qin Yunxuan would become a legend and a myth within the entire entertainment industry!

Just thinking about it made Yun Sihai’s heart surge with excitement.

As for this challenge, Qin Lang wasn’t too worried. After all, he had the resources of an entire world to draw from, and he could return every five days. Transporting whatever he needed was second nature to him now!

As long as Starlight Entertainment’s promotional efforts were sufficient, Qin Lang was confident he could build Qin Yunxuan into a figure whom everyone would look up to, leaving her peers in the dust.

Becoming a top diva? What of it? Even becoming a legend and a myth wasn’t entirely out of the question.

“President Yun, as you can see, my time is very tight now. I need to rapidly increase my popularity and status within these six months! So, during this period, I will likely enter a sort of ‘battle-ready’ state…”

“Good! Whatever you need to do, you have my full support!” Yun Sihai immediately agreed without hesitation. “I’ll also inform Lin Ruo, so don’t worry.”

Qin Lang nodded, feeling relieved. With this excuse, he now had a valid reason to avoid spending time alone with Yun Sihai!

After all… from the very beginning, the way Yun Sihai looked at him always felt a bit off!

That mix of relieved, doting affection, and pride… who knew what was going on in that older man’s mind.

However… Qin Lang was genuinely moved by Yun Sihai’s unreserved support and trust.

“If this continues, my resolve to eventually go independent might weaken considerably,” Qin Lang sighed inwardly.

…

Soon after, Brocade Apparel’s official account issued a statement regarding the previously circulated video of Qin Yunxuan throwing a drink at Li Changsheng.

“After professional technical analysis, this video has been confirmed to be a maliciously edited clip intended to smear Ms. Qin’s reputation. To protect Ms. Qin’s name, we have reported the matter to the police. We also urge netizens not to believe the distorted video or attack Ms. Qin based on it.”

“Our cooperation with Ms. Qin has been extremely harmonious. Furthermore, after negotiations with Starlight Entertainment, we have officially signed Ms. Qin Yunxuan as the overall domestic brand ambassador for Brocade Apparel!”

“We believe the cooperation between Brocade Apparel and Starlight Entertainment will be mutually beneficial and a win-win situation!”

The moment this news broke, the entire entertainment circle exploded once again.
