Chapter 60 Brand Ambassador

"Press Conference for the Upgraded Version of 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill'"

Xiao Nan quickly spotted a large banner strung up across the square.

It turned out that the Li family had come up with some sort of upgraded version of the "Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill."

Below the banner was a long row of promotional slogans claiming that they had researched a completely new formula, and that the various effects of the new "Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill" would be comprehensively upgraded based on the original version.

Xiao Nan couldn't help but sneer. Without even thinking, it was obvious that the Li family was not satisfied with the profits the current "Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill" was bringing them.

This was just a new money-making scheme they had cobbled together.

A bunch of predatory scumbags. Let them gloat for a couple more days.

Xiao Nan muttered to himself.

Suddenly.

A motorcade drove into the parking spaces at the edge of the square.

A group of bodyguards hurriedly rushed over, forming a tight perimeter around the vehicles.

Like stars surrounding the moon, they escorted a tall woman wearing dark sunglasses out of a car.

Excited murmurs quickly rippled through the surrounding crowd.

"Oho, what big shot is arriving? Such a huge display?"

"I heard the Li family invited the pop diva Liu Binglan to be the brand ambassador for the upgraded 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill.' Could the person surrounded by all those bodyguards be Liu Binglan herself?"

"Even though she's wearing sunglasses and I can't see her face clearly, it seems... it really is Liu Binglan."

"To even be able to invite Liu Binglan, Li's Pharmaceuticals is truly impressive."

"Could Liu Binglan be here today specifically to attend this press conference?"

"Is this the surprise President Li was acting all mysterious about during today's press conference?"

"That really is a huge surprise! This is Liu Binglan we're talking about. I never thought I'd have the chance to see her in the flesh in this lifetime."

"I'm so excited!"

"This way, Sister Binglan, please." Li Yadong stepped out of a car behind Liu Binglan, beaming with pride and ambition.

Also surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he walked up to Liu Binglan and looked at her very gentlemanly.

Admiring up close Liu Binglan's curvaceous, peerlessly perfect figure tightly encased in a sky-blue silk suit dress, Li Yadong couldn't help feeling a bit breathless.

She was simply too beautiful.

She truly lived up to her title as Dragon Country's top diva—her beauty was utterly breathtaking.

Even compared to Lin Shuyun, the goddess he had always yearned for, she was not the least bit inferior, and perhaps even possessed a more captivating charm.

However, Li Yadong knew very well in his heart that a woman like Liu Binglan was not someone he could set his sights on.

And it wasn't just because of her status as a superstar.

With the Li family's rising power recently, Li Yadong's horizons had also broadened somewhat.

From people whom their Li family could previously never hope to reach, he had long since learned that Liu Binglan had already caught the eye of a heavyweight from a prominent noble clan in the capital.

No matter how thriving the Li family currently was, they weren't even fit to carry the shoes of those true aristocratic families.

Therefore, Li Yadong felt it was much more realistic for him to set his sights on Lin Shuyun.

The three-day deadline he had given the Lin family had two days remaining.

He had already prepared a series of measures to strike at the Lin Group.

When the time came, he refused to believe that Lin Guodong wouldn't compromise.

Li Yadong had spared no expense this time in order to invite Liu Binglan to be the brand ambassador for their "Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill."

Yet he believed that, given Liu Binglan's influence in Dragon Country, her endorsement would drive the sales of the "Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill" to new heights.

This business deal was an absolute guaranteed profit.

Dressed in a white suit, Li Yadong was the first to take the stage at the press conference.

Taking the microphone handed to him by a staff member, he said with a beaming smile, "Welcome everyone to the press conference for the upgraded version of our 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill.' Welcome, everyone."

Following Li Yadong's opening remarks, enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the audience.

"As for the efficacy of our 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill,' I'm sure you are all already very well aware of it, so I won't elaborate too much here."

Li Yadong continued eloquently on stage: "Today's press conference is mainly to share with everyone the upgraded version of the 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill,' painstakingly developed by Miracle Doctor Pan and the research and development team of Li's Pharmaceuticals."

"Before officially revealing the efficacy of the upgraded 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill,' I must first share some wonderful news with everyone, and that is..."

"Miss Liu Binglan, whom everyone loves dearly, has now officially become the brand ambassador for the 'Qi-Gathering Beauty-Nourishing Pill' by Li's Pharmaceuticals."

"Furthermore, she has also graced our press conference with her presence today."

"Next, let us welcome Miss Liu Binglan with the warmest applause."

Thunderous applause rang out once again from the crowd, and the enthusiasm of the reporters and spectators reached unprecedented heights.

Prior to this, they had only been guessing that it might be the superstar Liu Binglan.

However, because she was too far away and Liu Binglan had kept her sunglasses on the entire time, it was simply impossible to tell for sure.

Now that Li Yadong had definitively announced the answer, every single fan of Liu Binglan in the audience went wild instantly.

Coming out today to watch this press conference by Li's Pharmaceuticals was truly worth it.

To get this close to a superstar idol like Liu Binglan without even having to pay for a ticket—opportunities like this didn't come around often.

"Liu Binglan!"

"Liu Binglan!"

"Liu Binglan!"

Amidst the chorus of cheers, Liu Binglan—dressed in a sky-blue silk suit dress, extremely sexy skin-toned silk stockings, and stepping on about fifteen-centimeter high heels—swayed her graceful figure and walked onto the press conference stage.

By this time, she had already removed her sunglasses.

Her peerlessly gorgeous oval face wore a warm, spring-breeze-like smile.

Her entire being radiated endless charm.

It was as if idioms like "a face that could shame the moon and make flowers close, and sink fish and drop wild geese" had been tailor-made just for her.

"It really is this woman."

"Has she lost her mind?"

Xiao Nan, standing in the crowd, naturally saw the radiant Liu Binglan on the stage and couldn't help frowning.

Had he known in advance that this woman would run over to act as a brand ambassador for the Li family's trash medicine, he wouldn't have bothered to save her in the first place. He would have just let that life-devouring parasite consume her vitality and let her kick the bucket.

Xiao Nan felt that these screaming maniacs around him were simply out of their minds.

Wasn't she just a celebrity?

Aren't celebrities human beings too?

Xiao Nan simply couldn't fathom the mindset of these fanatical celebrity chasers.

He turned around and walked away directly.

On the stage:

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Binglan. How are you all?"

Liu Binglan greeted them with a beaming smile.

"I came here today mainly to..."

Just as Liu Binglan was about to recite the lines she had prepared in advance, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly looked in a certain direction among the audience and froze for a long moment.

Immediately afterward, she seemed to forget that she was standing on a stage watched by countless people, forgot that she was wearing a skirt and high heels, and forgot her usual persona as a serene goddess.

With a single agile bound, she leaped right off the stage, which was over a meter high.

Everyone was dumbfounded.
