Who Made Him an Antagonist

167: Chapter 167 Planting a Trap for An HaoOutside the shopping mall exit, An Hao furrowed his brows and angrily demanded, ”How could you not find him!? The sketch I gave you is at least ninety percent similar to that guy himself!”

”With the assets that guy has in Yunhai City, how is it possible that not even a single photo of him is published online!?”

Having witnessed Qin Ge taking Xu Shiyin away with his own eyes, An Hao immediately had his employees search for information on Qin Ge.

As it turned out, he traveled with a driver and was equipped with a business vehicle worth several million.

How could such a high-level company executive have absolutely no information available online!?

The network specialist in Xu Shiyin’s company muttered aggrievedly, ”Mr. An, I really searched the internet thoroughly, I even bridged to foreign networks to search, but I really cannot find the person you are looking for.”

”Useless!” An Hao crushed his phone, gnashing his teeth and snarling.

Hidden behind his toad-eye sunglasses, An Hao’s pupils visibly stood vertically, sending a chill down one’s spine!

...

Inside the chairman’s office at Company Name.

Qin Ge looked at the dense pile of documents in his hand; even the medical records of Xu Shiyin’s food poisoning as a child were presented in minute detail.

He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Yingzi and asked, ”So, what are the results of your investigation?”

Qiao Yingzi said solemnly, ”Xu Shiyin is from the Xu Family in Kyoto. Originally, the Xu Family intended to set her up with a rising star in the scientific research world. However, Xu Shiyin was not interested in that research prodigy who only knew how to study physics, so she defied the Xu Family’s opposition and resolutely entered the entertainment industry.”

”Because the Xu Family has considerable prestige in Kyoto, Xu Shiyin’s journey in the entertainment industry was not smooth. It was only after she moved to the Magic City three years ago and received support from the Bai Family, starring in a female-led IP, that she began to skyrocket in popularity.”

”Of course, even in the Magic City, because of the existence of the Xu Family, no one in the entertainment industry dared to be improper with Xu Shiyin. Furthermore, because the Xu Family still wants to set her up with that research prodigy, Xu Shiyin hasn’t even dated anyone until now!”

”It seems this An Hao has quite a robust amount of Luck!”

Qin Ge tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Upon their first meeting, An Hao had already delivered a generous gift of 10,000 villain points.

Now, Xu Shiyin, who was in the same entertainment company as An Hao, was still a maiden who hadn’t even dated!

Not to mention dating, she hadn’t even had any intimate contact with male actors while filming!

That was the chaotic entertainment industry!

How inconceivable was that?

Qin Ge didn’t think that Xu Shiyin being a maiden was to satisfy his own mental cleanliness.

Instead, such a setting that didn’t match his memories could only have been tailored for the Child of Destiny An Hao!

It further proved that An Hao’s Luck was robust; he was a fat sheep that could be continuously fleeced!

Knock, knock—

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Qin Ge signaled to Qiao Yingzi with his eyes, then said softly, ”Come in!”

Tap, tap, tap—

Xu Shiyin, wearing high heels, walked into Qin Ge’s office and immediately took off her disguise.

In her watery, large eyes, there was a look of distress as she said, ”Mr. Qin, I won’t be able to persuade Lin Xiaojin and Emilia on my own.”

”Whether it’s high remuneration or becoming a nationally known goddess, neither holds any attraction for them!”

Qin Ge shook his head with a smile, ”I am also unable to help.”

Lin Xiaojin was a true ”white moonlight”; let alone becoming a star, even if she were asked to swap identities with Emilia right now, she would absolutely never agree to leave Company Name, nor would she accept work that took her away from him.

As for Emilia, that went without saying; she was the young lady of the Feller Family herself.

It wasn’t that Emilia chased after stars, but rather that those international superstars competed to perform for Emilia, hoping to gain her approval and thereby gild their own reputations!

Xu Shiyin asked, dissatisfied and confused, ”Since you know that those two have no intention of becoming stars, Mr. Qin, why did you bring me to your company?”

”To discuss a collaboration.” Qin Ge stood up, walked to the reception area, sat on the sofa first, and then gestured for Xu Shiyin to take a seat.

He crossed his legs, a gentle smile on his face, and said, ”Our company is preparing to launch a new online product soon. It fits your fan demographic very well, and we would like to invite you to be the brand ambassador!”

Having grasped the key point, Xu Shiyin immediately sat up straight, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes faded significantly.

She was currently worried about her company’s lack of funds; if she could secure an endorsement fee, she would be able to fill those gaps and perhaps even secure a larger share in the filming contract.

Once the new drama became a hit, it could bring her even greater rewards!

”Mr. Qin, you also know what my current reputation is like.” Xu Shiyin reminded him, feeling slightly embarrassed, and then prepared to ask for a huge sum, ”My endorsement fee is very expensive!”

Qin Ge nodded. Before Xu Shiyin could speak, he took the initiative and said, ”A three-year endorsement. Regardless of the results, the endorsement fee is 500 million, to be paid in full within the first year!”

”Ah?!”

Xu Shiyin’s mouth hung open, her large, lively eyes filled with astonishment.

Had she heard him correctly?

A three-year endorsement for 500 million?

She hadn’t even heard of such an exorbitant endorsement fee, let alone seen one!

And paid in full in the first year?

Who negotiates a collaboration like this?

Even if Qin Ge was her fan, he couldn’t possibly be this crazy!

”Miss Xu, please have some coffee.”

During the conversation, Qiao Yingzi approached with a cup of strong coffee. As she reached Xu Shiyin, she stumbled.

Splash—

The dark, rich coffee spilled entirely onto Xu Shiyin’s pants.

Xu Shiyin sprang up from the sofa almost instinctively.

Bang—

Her knee happened to hit the edge of the coffee table.

”Hiss... it hurts!”

Xu Shiyin stumbled backward, clutching her knee in pain, her brows furrowed tightly.

She released her hand and looked at her knee; although the skin wasn’t broken, it was bright red.

Qiao Yingzi said in a panic, ”Miss Xu, I am sorry, I didn’t mean to!”

As she spoke, she took a tissue and began to wipe it for Xu Shiyin.

But how could the color of strong coffee be wiped away?

The more she wiped, the dirtier the light-colored pants became.

”It’s okay, it’s okay, I can do it myself!”

Xu Shiyin hurriedly took the tissue and began to wipe it herself.

She raised her eyes to look at Qin Ge opposite her and said awkwardly, ”Mr. Qin, I am sorry, I’ve made a fool of myself!”

Qin Ge shook his head with a smile and looked at Qiao Yingzi, saying, ”Take Miss Xu inside to change into a new set of clothes!”

Not long after, Xu Shiyin came out wearing a sailor uniform. She nervously clutched the buttons of her clothes, feeling slightly shy, and looked at Qin Ge, saying, ”Mr. Qin, thank you. What kind of product is it that I’m endorsing? Can I learn a little about it?”

Qin Ge glanced at Xu Shiyin’s straight, slender, beautiful legs, then slowly moved his gaze upward, staring into her watery, large eyes, and said with a faint smile, ”No rush. The endorsement fee has already been transferred to your company’s public account. As for the contract, it won’t be too late to sign it after Miss Xu has recovered from her injury!”
