Chapter 159: Li Beinian’s Such a Fool
Li Xueqing was exposed, and she didn’t bother denying it. “Yours doesn’t fit you, anyway. I’m just helping you out.”
“Give it up, I won’t let you have it!” Li Beinian said. “Even if it isn’t fitting, I’ll still pull it off better than you!”
Li Xueqing replied in contempt, “You think I’m dying to have your dress? Well, don’t blame me when you embarrass yourself then.”
Li Beinian looked at the dress in her hands and appeared reluctant. “But this… is the only piece in the world.”
“So what, it doesn’t fit you.” Li Xueqing gloated. “Although I like this piece a lot, I’m not short of beautiful dresses. In any case, I won’t turn up in an embarrassing state tomorrow.”
Li Beinian kept quiet.
Li Xueqing took a chance. “I got a pretty decent endorsement recently. It’s for an ancient costume web game, and it isn’t in the market yet. Want to give it a go?”
“Endorsement for an ancient costume?” Li Beinian couldn’t help herself. “What web game is that?”
“Dream Slayer.”
Li Beinian wavered.
“Dream Slayer” was a huge web game.
In her previous life, it really was Li Xueqing who endorsed it.
There was an NPC in the game called Goddess Xueqing.
The web game became very popular, and players from all over the country were obsessed with it.
Everyone who saw “Dream Slayer” thought of Goddess Xueqing.
Similarly, they thought of “Dream Slayer” when they saw Li Xueqing.
They existed almost as one entity, and eventually made it popular on an international scale.
But she hadn’t heard of this game yet in this lifetime.
Seeing that she had gone quiet, Li Xueqing thought that she hadn’t heard of the game before. “Although it isn’t very popular yet, the endorsement is pretty good. It’s 200,000 yuan.”
Although they’d just made their debut, Li Xueqing wasn’t appealed by this amount of endorsement fee.
200,000 yuan… she could get more than that if she just asked her parents for it.
It was useful to exchange it for something else instead.
Li Beinian looked like she was considering the offer.
Li Xueqing persuaded. “200,000 yuan isn’t a lot to us, but you’ve only just made your debut. This is a lot of money for a newbie! How much do you earn from one episode of Legend Of The Dragon Pearl?”
“But this dress costs more than 200,000 yuan!” Li Beinian looked aggrieved.
“Then what do you want?”
“My car exploded so long ago… and I haven’t had any to drive. Give me some money, I’ll get myself a car.”
Li Xueqing widened her eyes. “If you want a car, ask Dad for it!”
“No, I’ve already spent a lot of money. Just give me 500,000 yuan. There’s only one piece of this in the entire world, you’d better think it through!” Li Beinian clutched the dress as if unwilling to let it go to someone else. “If you don’t think it’s worth the exchange, then forget it. I’ll wear this myself.”
“Wait!” Li Xueqing struggled for a moment. “300,000!”
Li Beinian hesitated for a while before saying, “Now hand me your dress, give your manager a call, get your manager to let the ‘Dream Slayer’ crew make me the endorser, get them to contact Sheng An… and when all of that is done, I’ll agree to it.”
Li Xueqing was delighted. “Deal!”
She quickly gave her manager a call and got the matter settled.
This was just the endorsement for an unpopular game. If she put on that dress tomorrow, she’d definitely be the limelight.
Dazzling at such a huge banquet tomorrow was so much more important than that measly amount of endorsement fee!
Li Xueqing went to look for Fang Zhili and told her all that happened.
She said with a mix of excitement and sympathy. “Li Beinian’s such a fool, she didn’t even know I had her on!”
