Lu Zelei, male, twenty-six years old, male singer, actor.
This year's newly selected most influential idol, this year's most charming male ideal type, and...
God-like looks, plus abs, a height of 1.8 meters.
Ripples of affection flowed from the depths of his eyes, making everyone feel as if he liked them.
As a result, Lu Zelei became incredibly popular from the moment he debuted, making the former Tang Ye seem dim in comparison.
"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by Lu Zelei's appearance or the positive reviews online. In reality, he's a scumbag in human skin, a piece of trash. Don't be deceived by him; he never remembers the names of the women he's been with..."
"Whatever you do, don't get involved with him..."
"Involved with my sister!" Tang Xiaomin couldn't hold back any longer.
"Give me Lu Zelei's phone number and WeChat. Stop wasting my time!"
"I... I'm just afraid you'll be fooled. I'm trying to help you..."
"And, he also..."
Listening to Tang Ye's endless rambling, Tang Xiaomin smirked as she saw the notification that Lu Zelei had accepted her friend request.
Having learned that Nangong Shanshan frequently visited the brand store to check on her wedding dress progress, Tang Xiaomin also set her sights on that brand.
She assigned a task to Lu Xing.
"Lu Xing, find a way to connect with the luxury brand customizing Nangong Shanshan's wedding dress. Acquisition or investment, anything will do, as long as we can find a way to get that brand to invite Lu Zelei as their endorser. This needs to be done quickly."
"Miss Tang, while Lu Zelei is handsome, he..."
Lu Xing naturally assumed that Tang Xiaomin was interested in Lu Zelei, given his reputation as a "woman killer."
"If President Yan finds out about this..."
Tang Xiaomin waved her hand.
"Don't tell him. Besides, this isn't a big deal."
"Huh? This..."
She still wants to keep it a secret? Could it really be!
"Get this done as soon as possible. Don't worry about spending too much money. Lu Zelei *must* go to that store, understand?"
"Uh... I understand, I understand."
Lu Xing thought it was best not to meddle, to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
It took two days. Initially, the brand was quite resistant, but they couldn't refuse the large sum of money. Tang Xiaomin became a major shareholder of the brand.
Deciding on an endorser was a simple matter of a word.
On this day, when Nangong Shanshan came to check the progress of her wedding dress, she found the female employees of the brand store buzzing with excitement.
They were gathered in small groups, their eyes sparkling with adoration as they discussed.
"Oh my god, Lu Zelei is coming to the store later to try on clothes and shoot an advertisement. My heart is pounding so fast."
"He's my favorite. If he would just look at me, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life."
"If he touched me, it would be worth dying for."
"I'd give him my life..."
Listening to the exaggerated pronouncements of the women, Nangong Shanshan remained indifferent. They were just fangirls.
With their social standing, they were not on the same level as Lu Zelei; integrating into his world was almost impossible.
However, for the wealthy elite, it was different. No matter how popular Lu Zelei was in the entertainment industry, he was still just an idol in front of someone like her.
With just a beckoning finger, the idol these fans adored would obediently come to her.
Nangong Shanshan sat in the VIP room, personally attended by the store manager.
Before long, Lu Zelei arrived.
Wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, surrounded by four or five assistants, he walked with an air that captivated the store employees.
"Why did you choose Lu Zelei for endorsement this year? I remember you used to select foreign supermodels," Nangong Shanshan asked curiously.
The store manager replied, "Yes, a shareholder of the brand is a fan of Lu Zelei and strongly recommended him. Out of respect for that shareholder, the founder decided to select Lu Zelei as the endorser."
"I see."
It wasn't uncommon for the wealthy to use their influence to have their favorite idols endorse products.
Nangong Shanshan considered it a perfectly normal occurrence.
The man praised by the entire internet, while undoubtedly benefiting from marketing, must possess some exceptional qualities himself.
At the same time, she felt a flicker of curiosity towards Lu Zelei.
"Ah! Lu Zelei's physique is amazing!"
"Oh my god, he even has eight-pack abs."
"He just moved his waist a moment ago, and I feel like I'm about to pass out, ah..."
"I can't take it, I'm going to get a nosebleed..."
It was a shocking sight.
In a men's fitting room, Lu Zelei began to undress and try on clothes in front of the female employees.
Whether it was intentional, a requirement from his agency, or a request from the brand, it was unclear.
The female employees didn't hesitate, pulling out their phones and filming frantically, enjoying the spectacle.
Even more astonishing, the brand didn't intervene, allowing the scene to unfold.
Nangong Shanshan was immediately angered by this "vulgar" display occurring at the brand store where she was customizing her wedding dress.
Her face turned cold, and she sternly reprimanded the store manager.
"You are a luxury brand. How can you allow your endorser to do something like undress in public? This is incredibly disappointing!"
Nangong Shanshan's voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.
The female employees glared at her with indignation.
"It's none of your business if he takes off his clothes; it's not like he's doing it for you. What right do you have to say that?"
If it weren't for Nangong Shanshan being a major client and their place of employment, they would have drowned her in spit right then and there.
Hmph! Who do you think you are, to criticize our idol!
Do you know how hard our idol works!
And so on...
One was an important client, the other an endorser. The store manager naturally sided with Nangong Shanshan.
"Miss Nangong is right. After all, there are other women present, so it is indeed inappropriate."
Lu Zelei, accustomed to being adored, found Nangong Shanshan's condescending and dismissive gaze very uncomfortable.
"Since Miss Nangong is unhappy, I'll go change in the fitting room."
Amidst the reluctant gazes of the female employees, Lu Zelei swaggered into a fitting room and closed the door.
The beautiful scenery, the eight-pack abs... no longer visible. What a sad thing.
"Thanks to some people, it can't be seen anymore. Disperse, everyone."
"What a drag. She can't watch, and she won't let others watch. What kind of person is she?"
"Without her father, she's nothing. What is she throwing her weight around for!"
The enraged female employees grumbled and dispersed.
Nangong Shanshan was also furious.
"Is this the quality of your brand's employees?"
