Hello Mr. King

Chapter 99: Taking Care of Girlfriend’s Sales Performance in Passing

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu were murmuring. Xue Yu was breaking the news about how He Wei used to be inhumane and complained incessantly. He Wei returned after a mere two minutes. He caught Xue Yu imitating his expression when he was pulling a long face.

“Do you get it, Xiangxiang? This is how you pull a long face,” Xue Yu dragged Xiangxiang into it at the spur of the moment.

She did her best to hold her laugh in and nodded seriously, “Yeah, I got it. Thanks for the guidance, senior.”

He Wei glanced at Xue Yu before making a beeline to his seat, “That was a call from Austin. The six sets of jewelry of the Angel series that you shot for flew off the shelves. They’re now sold out.”

“Pfft...” Xue Yu who spent a long time talking spat the water he was just drinking.

He Wei threw a bag of napkins to him in disgust.

Xue Yu hastily pulled a piece and wiped his mouth. He said while he was gulping, “The six sets of jewelry were only open for purchase since yesterday, weren’t they?”

Yun Xiangxiang’s promotional photos were only released at the same time yesterday. Xue Yu went out of his way to observe the six sets of jewelry. He estimated their total to be more than four hundred million yuan. Twenty four hours had not even elapsed yet, and they were all sold out?

That was a bit too fast!

Every wealthy people in the world suddenly had the exact same taste?

“Was it bought by a single person?” Yun Xiangxiang caught the peculiarity in He Wei’s emotions acutely.

He Wei’s face should be flushed with joy if it wasn’t all bought by a single person. Since his expression was deadpan, it meant that the six sets of extraordinarily exorbitant jewelry weren’t bought by different magnates.

The world faced no shortage of wealthy men and women. Those who could purchase jewelry that was valued at nearly five hundred million yuan without flinching weren’t little in numbers either.

But the upper class had their own rules. More often than not, they had other benefits to consider when they bought luxury items like these.

Of course there were those who bought it because they were fond of it. But this took fondness a step too far.

“Yes, it’s a single person. And it’s done five minutes after your promotional photos went online,” He Wei nodded.

The sheer swiftness and decisiveness proved that they had tremendous clout to be able to move five hundred million yuan worth of funds under a few minutes.

It also proved that they didn’t buy it for the jewelry, or else five minutes wouldn’t be enough to inspect all of them.

The buyer followed Yun Xiangxiang’s activity closely; they bought it just because of her.

“I know what happened. Brother Wei, I’ll go out to make a call,” Yun Xiangxiang picked up her phone and exited the lounge after informing them.

Out of everyone whom Yun Xiangxiang knew so far, only her newly minted boyfriend would stake so much money for her.

Song Mian’s phone only rang once before he accepted the call. His lovely voice had a trace of laughter in it, “Girlfriend, coming to punish me for what I did?”

“Boyfriend, it seems that you are very clear about what you did. And you aren’t even planning on lying to me,” Yun Xiangxiang’s tone was also relaxed; as if she was only having a normal conversation.

“I will never lie to you,” Song Mian wouldn’t let any chance to confess escape.

“So, boyfriend. I’ll give you five minutes to explain yourself. You promised never to interfere in my career,” said Yun Xiangxiang.

“I absolutely did not interfere in your career. It’s almost new year. Father said that it’s almost time to return some favors. Some unique individuals don’t really accept our regards. We have to give them luxury.”

Song Mian swore, “And I just so happen to come across the jewelry my girlfriend is endorsing. I sent some gifts and take care of my girlfriend’s sales performance in passing. This isn’t too much, right?”

Yun Xiangxiang: ...

For a top grade noble family like Song Mian’s, the people he had to maintain relationships with must also be top grade noble families.

They really couldn’t give perfunctory presents. It was just appropriate to gift a set of jewelry that cost tens of millions. Besides, those were meant for their wife. It would stroke the men’s ego nicely.

They were just preparing some new year gifts [1]. According to the maxim of keeping the goodies in the family [2], buying the products that his own girlfriend endorsed was reasonable.

Yun Xiangxiang crowned herself as someone who was great at talking. But every time she encountered Song Mian, she would find that words failed her when he retorted.

“Are you angry?” Song Mian asked cautiously when he didn’t hear Yun Xiangxiang’s reply for a while.

“Angry?” Yun Xiangxiang had a sliver of pride in her tone. “I should be proud. Proud that I have a boyfriend who has such monumental prowess.”

Even if Song Mian didn’t purchase the jewelry, he would also have to buy something else that was precious too. So why wouldn’t he kill two birds with one stone?

True, she wanted to rely on herself. But that didn’t mean that she had to be pedantic.

“I just know that my girlfriend understands reason the most,” Song Mian chuckled.

“You pass this time. If you’re going to pull something off that involves me next time, you best have a reason to convince me like this. Or else...” Yun Xiangxiang growled on purpose. It had a hint of menace within.

“As you command, my lady,” Song Mian agreed nicely. “You’re going to a concert tonight, right?”

“What are you planning to do?” Yun Xiangxiang’s first reaction was actually being on guard.

She was really worried that Song Mian would surprise her. She thought that there would only be shock involved. There was absolutely no happiness [3].

“Oh, girlfriend. I really wish that I’m standing right in front of you at this moment. Your expression must be fluffy and adorable.”

Song Mian burst into laughter when he seemed to picture Yun Xiangxiang’s current expression in his mind. “I’m just caring about you. Relax, I won’t be reckless.”

“Yes, you can easily be not reckless. But when you do, it shakes the earth.”

Five hundred million yuan of jewelry was bought on his whim.

“Okay, I’ll firmly take down some notes about my girlfriend’s dissatisfaction. I’ll really amend my ways after this,” Song Mian answered solemnly.

Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, “Amend, my foot.”

There was a kind of human who lived a spendthrift life since they were little. They probably couldn’t even recognize all the items that the layman used. Not even living through the next life could anyone see them being close to the people!

After they confirmed their relationship, both of them talked endlessly once they called each other. Yun Xiangxiang only hung up when Xue Yu and He Wei pressed her to. Before she hung up, she asked, “When are you coming back?”

“Next week. I’ll tell you when I return.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting for your return.”

Yun Xiangxiang went to practice after she hung up. It was a formal practice this time. It was different from the previous practices. The results from Song Qian’s unrelenting instep pressing for her over half of this month showed.

When Yun Xiangxiang started dancing in a black leotard, Xue Yu and He Wei who weren’t experts eagerly raised their thumbs up.

“Not bad, junior,” Xue Yu couldn’t help but feel amazed. “It’s just half a month, and you already went from amateur to grandmaster.”

“Senior, can we not toot our own horn?”

Yun Xiangxiang was embarrassed, “It’s not grandmaster level. It’s just my motions being more precise, and my pose looking lighter. If I’m compared to the pros, it’s just a half decent dance.”

“But it’s such a huge improvement. How did you do it?” Xue Yu marveled breathlessly.

“Just pressing my instep every night,” Yun Xiangxiang said it like it was nothing.

But Xue Yu who produced the song “Black Swan’s Poem” really understood ballet learners. That was why he wrote this classic with intense emotions. He was clear about how hard instep pressing was.

“Xiangxiang, did I give you too much pressure?” Xue Yu suddenly felt slightly remorseful.
