I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 80

For the past four or five days, Brocade Attire had remained completely silent, as if under a spell, saying nothing about the online attacks targeting Qin Yunxuan. Now, they suddenly broke their silence and dropped this bombshell on everyone.

Not only were Qin Yunxuan’s true fans and anti-fans shocked, but even casual onlookers found themselves devouring this juicy piece of gossip!

“Is this for real? Qin Yunxuan actually landed the overall spokesperson deal with Brocade Attire? Am I hallucinating, or has the world gone crazy?”

“At first, I thought this was just some PR move from Starlight Entertainment, but now… could it actually be true?”

“It has to be fake! Otherwise, why would Brocade Attire not only continue working with Qin Yunxuan but also deepen their collaboration?”

“Wasn’t Wen Hanxue the previous spokesperson for Brocade Attire? She’s a diva! How did it suddenly change to Qin Yunxuan? Isn’t Qin Yunxuan just a third-tier celebrity?”

“This is insane, Brocade Attire must have lost their minds!”

…

Meanwhile, inside Royal Sky Entertainment, the sound of shattering objects echoed from Liu Qingcheng’s room!

Furious after reading the news on her phone, Liu Qingcheng slammed it onto the ground.

This is unbearable!

Weren’t they supposed to be setting Qin Yunxuan up for a fall with excessive praise?

Wasn’t Qin Yunxuan accused of being a diva?

Didn’t they say Qin Yunxuan had some shady relationship with Starlight Entertainment’s upper management?

With so many scandals attached to her name, why hasn’t Qin Yunxuan faced any setbacks? Instead, she keeps soaring higher and higher?

Not only did she snatch the YunShang endorsement from me, but now she’s become the overall spokesperson for Brocade Attire!

Just who is Qin Yunxuan? How does she always manage to turn bad situations around?

“Qingcheng, you need to get a handle on your temper!”

Zhang Jie, Liu Qingcheng’s manager, entered the room and said, “I assume you’ve heard the news about Qin Yunxuan?”

Liu Qingcheng gritted her teeth. “Yes! I just don’t get it. Is Qin Yunxuan heaven’s favorite? Why does every good thing happen to her? How does she always escape unscathed from dangerous situations?”

“It’s not that heaven favors her; it’s Starlight Entertainment making their move!”

As a veteran who has weathered the entertainment industry for years, Zhang Ping immediately recognized Starlight Entertainment’s series of strategic maneuvers!

She naturally understood that Qin Yunxuan’s recent escape from trouble was due to Starlight Entertainment’s intervention. Furthermore, Brocade Attire appointing Qin Yunxuan as their overall spokesperson was a move to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

After listening to Zhang Ping’s analysis, Liu Qingcheng was stunned speechless.

Why hadn’t she pieced all these clues together herself?

“So, there’s no need for you to be angry. On the contrary, you need to maintain a good relationship with Qin Yunxuan.”

Zhang Ping said seriously.

Liu Qingcheng clenched her jaw. “Why? Why should I maintain a good relationship with her?”

“Because you praised her lavishly in front of reporters before! If you aren’t warm and friendly towards Qin Yunxuan now, wouldn’t that make you seem inconsistent? Wouldn’t that give the tabloid journalists an opening to exploit?”

Liu Qingcheng felt deeply aggrieved. Qin Yunxuan was the person she disliked the most!

Now, she had to put on a smiling face for her… Wasn’t that just disgusting?

“And…” Zhang Ping continued, “Since Qin Yunxuan is becoming the overall spokesperson, the YunShang endorser will definitely be replaced. So, this is your chance. Building a good relationship with Qin Yunxuan could also help you secure that endorsement.”

Liu Qingcheng’s face showed clear reluctance.

To eagerly pursue an endorsement that Qin Yunxuan had discarded… Wouldn’t the contrast make it seem like her own status was far beneath Qin Yunxuan’s?

How could she tolerate that!

Zhang Ping saw right through Liu Qingcheng’s petty thoughts.

“Qingcheng, you need to understand, aside from Qin Yunxuan, no other third-tier celebrity has managed to land a major overall spokesperson deal like Brocade Attire’s! If you start measuring yourself against Qin Yunxuan just because she got such an endorsement, you won’t be able to secure any endorsements yourself!”

“Sister Zhang, but I’m just not willing to accept this!” Liu Qingcheng’s face was full of frustration. “I believe I’m no worse than Qin Yunxuan. Why… why don’t I have her luck!”

“Temporary wins and losses don’t mean much. And do you really think Qin Yunxuan is all that lucky right now? You’re mistaken. Actually, Qin Yunxuan is… in a very dangerous position right now. One misstep, and she could fall into an abyss she can’t escape from.”

Liu Qingcheng’s eyes lit up.

“On the surface, it seems like Qin Yunxuan is sailing smoothly—she won the top spot on ‘The Singer’ and landed the Brocade Attire overall spokesperson deal. But these two honors require, respectively, exceptional talent and extraordinary popularity.”

“You think getting the overall spokesperson deal is great, but her popularity is her weak point. A third-tier celebrity becoming the overall spokesperson for Brocade Attire—how do you think the industry’s divas and top stars will view her?”

“How do you think the fans will see her? Qin Yunxuan has backed herself into a corner.”

After hearing Zhang Ping’s explanation, Liu Qingcheng felt much better.

“And… our previous efforts weren’t entirely useless. Did you know that a new singer is joining the recording of ‘The Singer’ tonight?”

On ‘The Singer’ program, the lowest-ranked singer is eliminated each episode and replaced by a new one.

The last-ranked singer from the previous episode was eliminated, so a new singer would naturally join this episode.

But Liu Qingcheng genuinely didn’t know who the new singer was this time.

“Who is it? Is she very talented?”

“Of course she is! Because… it’s Chen Qiyun!”

Liu Qingcheng’s eyes widened.

Chen Qiyun? The one hailed as the strongest original artist among the younger generation?

Why would she join ‘The Singer’ program?

After all, many variety shows had tried to invite her before, but she had always refused.

“I heard… the reason Chen Qiyun is joining ‘The Singer’ this time is precisely because of Qin Yunxuan.”

Hearing this, Liu Qingcheng’s eyes gleamed.

“Sister Zhang, are you saying… our strategy worked?”

Zhang Ping smiled and nodded. “Correct. Our ‘over-praising to set up for a fall’ tactic has taken effect. Chen Qiyun definitely won’t tolerate anyone challenging her position as the top original artist. So, she’s coming with a clear goal: to forcefully suppress Qin Yunxuan, who is currently riding a wave of popularity!”

…

“Qiyun, are you really sure about joining this round of ‘The Singer’? Isn’t this decision a bit rash?”

In Chen Qiyun’s studio, the woman with black-rimmed glasses, Chen Chen, asked hesitantly.

“What’s wrong, Sister Chen Chen?”

“There are some unfavorable comments online right now. Some are saying Qin Yunxuan’s talent has already surpassed yours. There are even people saying the title of ‘Strongest Original Artist’ should be given to Qin Yunxuan!”

Chen Qiyun laughed dismissively. “Who’s stirring the pot? They’re just trying to cause trouble!”

“Not sure who’s behind it, but if you participate this round, it will give the public the impression that… you’re dissatisfied with Qin Yunxuan’s rise and want to suppress her. That wouldn’t be good for your reputation.”

Chen Qiyun chuckled softly. “Do you think… I would even care about that?”
