Astral Pet Store (WN)

Chapter 244 Finding a Spokesperson

Elite league? Su Ping suddenly remembered the Elite League that Vice Principal Dong Mingsong had mentioned to him a long time before. Also a while back, Su Ping had seen some outstanding students in the academy getting ready for the competition.

The students that were still in school could hardly win to reach good places in the competition but it was still an excellent chance for them to train.

Besides, even if they failed this time, they could see this as an opportunity to accumulate experience and participate in the next competition.

The Elite League was held once every three years and this round was about to begin!

“Elite League…” Su Ping mumbled. He slapped himself on his head. How stupid of him!

What was the best way to make some quick money in the current society?

Without a doubt, it was to catch a ride on the publicity stunt!

Scientific research personnel that had made great contributions to society could never make more money, even at a great cost, than the internet celebrities that could leverage that social buzz. That was pathetic but it was a fact.

The issue that everyone was talking about was, without a doubt, the Global Elite League!

The Primo could be counted as the best in the base city and had multiple chain stores. This advertisement was intended to draw people’s attention to the Elite League.

Since the Elite League was about to start, even the average pet stores would have more business than usual. With a little bit of promotion, every pet store could garner more attention!

Su Ping’s eyes were flickering.

The Elite League couldn’t have come at a better time. He could ride on the momentum of the Elite League and get the word out about his store!

He looked at the advertisement, trying to come up with one about his store.

Soon.

Light bulb!

Su Ping had an idea. At the moment, he had both the money and the manpower. He could find large platforms to publish his advertisement and he could afford to find a celebrity. He could even find some titled battle pet warriors to speak on his behalf.

For instance, Venerable the Blade who was teaching the Little Skeleton. Venerable the Blade was well-known and more famous than some first-tier stars in all of the continent. It was just that Venerable the Blade normally excluded himself from the entertainment circle. If he were to register an account in the entertainment circle, the number of his fans would exceed the fans of those big shot stars.

After all, this was a world where everything was about pets.

In such a world, titled battle pet warriors were the most glamorous stars.

Of course, more glamorous than them would be the legendary battle pet warriors.

I should have made that legendary old man stay. He could be a good asset for advertising. Su Ping began to regret his decisions.

He shook his head. Those thoughts would not do him any good at the moment. After some thought, he called Dong Mingsong.

Soon, the call was picked up. “Mr. Su?”

Dong Mingsong’s long and lean face appeared on the communicator. He had a weird look on his face. “What are you calling me for? You are not trying to get me to prove anything for you, are you?”

Su Ping rolled his eyes. “I only asked you to help me once. Can you ever forget that?” Dong Mingsong laughed. “I’m joking. Tell me. What do you need me for?”

He could read Su Ping very well. This guy would never come to him for no reason. Su Ping must be about to ask him about something.

Su Ping went directly to the point. “Do you know any celebrities? From the entertainment world.”

Dong Mingsong didn’t quite understand. He sized up Su Ping and asked in a weird tone, “Are you thinking about… hooking up with a celebrity?”

Poof!

Su Ping almost choked to death on his saliva.

Is this guy real?

“What the hell is on your mind? I just want to find a star to advertise my store and become a spokesperson, if possible,” Su Ping said grumpily. He had never thought that Dong Mingsong would have such an agile mind when he was so advanced in age. Where did he find the courage to say those words?

Dong Mingsong had the general idea. “I see. Why didn’t you tell me right away? I thought you were becoming full of yourself recently and had a sweet tooth for some fun.”

Su Ping: “…”

“Finding a celebrity? That’s easy. All you need is money. There are only a few big entertainment companies in the Longjiang Base City. How about I introduce one to you?” Dong Mingsong adopted a more serious tone. “Sure.”

“Good. I will contact them first and send you their number later. You can just tell them my name and they’ll know,” Dong Mingsong said.

Su Ping nodded and hung up. Soon, he received a number.

Su Ping dialed it and was answered by the magnetic voice of a female. “Hello.”

“Hi, I am Su Ping. Dong Mingsong told me to call you,” Su Ping stated.

“Mr. Dong made the introduction?” That lady sounded surprised. She had just gotten off the call with Dong Mingsong, who told her that he was introducing a distinguished guest to her. Judging by Dong Mingsong’s tone, she thought that such a man had to be of noble status. However, as she was taking the call, she noticed that the man was young. Is the young man a child of some powerful warrior?

“Well, I want to invite a star to advertise and represent my store. Any recommendations?” While Su Ping was stating his purpose, he was searching online to find the big names of the Longjiang Base City.

“Mr. Dong told me about this. Do you have any preference in mind?” That lady was still respectful. She didn’t choose to belittle Su Ping just because he sounded young.

Su Ping had not found anyone he liked, so he asked, “How about you make some recommendations so I can decide?”

“Well then, what kind of star are you thinking about? The biggest star in our company is Wan-er and her endorsement fee is at least twenty to thirty million…”

Before the lady could finish her sentence, Su Ping said, “Sure. Money is not a problem.” “Well… okay.”

They ended the call. Song Lu thought her assumption was right. That young man was a rich second generation scion.

“Song.”

“Mrs. Song.”

Several young and pretty girls went by. They smiled and greeted Song Lu when they saw

her.

Song Lu nodded to them as a response and lowered her sleeve to cover up her watch that had the phone function. She stepped onto the elevator down the long corridor.

There were two elevators, one for the average people in the company, including the custodial staff, trainees that had just come to the company, and some has been stars.

The other elevator was only for the higher-ups in the company.

Song Lu entered the elevator and pushed the button for the highest floor.

88.

With a ding, the door opened. That floor was very quiet. She heard some gentle and pleasing music as soon as she stepped out from the elevator. The ground was paved with a soft brown carpet. Even in high-heels, Song Lu’s steps merely made a subtle sound.

Song Lu went to a huge training room. Through the glass, she could see the inside. A young girl was practicing her dances and next to her was a pet that was like a white rabbit. That pet was hopping around which was part of her dance.

“Wan-er.”

Song Lu knocked on the door gently.

The girl stopped her dance and turned around. “Sister Song?”

“Sorry to interrupt your practice. I just got a call about advertising for a pet store. Do you want the job?” Song Lu asked politely.

Song Lu was the best manager in the company and she could control the future of many people. However, she would not dare to act wantonly when it came to this girl because her family name was Mu.

In the Longjiang Base City, aside from the Qin family, the other family that should never be challenged was the Mu family.

The Mu family was the second most powerful in the Longjiang Base City

“A pet store?” The girl frowned. “Is that person rich or powerful? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to see me.”

Young as she was, she had grown to be mature and seasoned after a long time in the entertainment industry. Those were the only two reasons that Song Lu would see her in person.

Song Lu shook her head. “Master Dong Mingsong of the Phoenix Peak Academy made the introduction. I don’t know the details of that man. But since Dong Mingsong is the Vice Principal of a renowned academy… He wouldn’t introduce just anyone to me. Also, I talked to that person just now. I think he is quite a wealthy person. Wan-er, if you want to take the job, I believe I can negotiate a fee of fifty million for you.”

The young girl raised her eyebrows. “Did that man have any particular demands?”

“We haven’t reached that part yet. If you’re interested, I will do some careful research about him and his store. I don’t want to see your reputation tarnished because the store is run by some kid carried away by a whim and can go bankrupt at any time.”

The girl smiled. “I trust you. Anyways, I don’t have anything on my plate. Let’s go and check it out.”

“No problem.”
