The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 149 - 140: Bitten Once

"Mm, thank you, Director Xie Zhang," Zhou Xun smiled and nodded, then sat down with Lin Mu under a nearby canopy.

Lin Mu leaned in towards Zhou Xun’s ear and pointed at Director Zhang Yimou, who was scolding other actors at the moment, saying,

"Big star, you’re doing well, aren’t you? Look, this director is fierce to everyone else, but with you, he’s as polite as a servant to a master!"

Zhou Xun could also tell that this Director Zhang Yimou had a pretty irritable temper! So she frowned and looked at Lin Mu, saying, "Brother Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Muxiao chuckled, "Don’t misunderstand me. I just feel that Director Zhang Yimou’s attitude towards you is very strange. It’s not that kind of interest, but a very respectful attitude!"

Zhou Xun waved her hand indifferently, saying, "That’s not true! I’m just an unknown little actress, while he’s a big director, he can use whoever he wants. How could he be respectful to me? There’s no need to. You should know that the line of people who want him to shoot ads stretches to the men’s restroom from the gates!"

"Uh, fine, then maybe I’m just being suspicious!" Lin Mu had to switch to another topic, "By the way, this far-off place, how did you manage to contact this director?"

"Well, about that," Zhou Xun explained, "he called me himself, saying there was a product that wanted me to endorse it. At first, I was surprised and couldn’t believe the opportunity was real, thinking it was another person Huo Jiang found, and since it’s in Shencheng City, I was worried about being scammed. With you accompanying me this time, I had the courage to come and try it out!"

Lin Mu thoughtfully rubbed his chin, "Aha! That’s interesting..."

Zhou Xun, seeing Lin Mu’s expression, asked worriedly, "Brother Lin, is there a problem? This doesn’t seem like someone Huo Jiang would find."

"No problem at all. Just perform well and maybe you’ll get famous because of it!" Lin Muxiao chuckled, saying, "Even if there’s a problem, as long as I’m around, there’s no problem, right?"

Zhou Xun frowned, looking at Lin Mu inexplicably, always feeling like Lin Mu might have discovered something!

Suddenly a hearty laugh came, and then Director Zhang Yimou walked over with a smile.

"Miss Zhou, sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Not at all, I’m the one troubling Director Zhang!" Zhou Xun said humbly.

Director Zhang Yimou laughed and then said, "Miss Zhou, after our careful research, we believe there’s a skincare product that would be perfect for you to endorse, because your complexion is so flawless. So, the director team unanimously decided you are the best choice. The total duration of this commercial is thirty seconds. It will be broadcast during prime time on major satellite TV stations, and as for the fee! It’s a total of 100,000. Do you find that acceptable?"

Zhou Xun’s mouth almost dropped open in astonishment, "Thirty seconds and I can earn 100,000? And it’s broadcast during prime time on all major satellite TV stations!"

The next second, she bit hard on Lin Mu’s arm, causing Lin Mu to yelp in pain, "You, you’re crazy, why would you bite someone!"

This great beauty, looking so elegant and graceful normally, unexpectedly had a bad habit of biting like the English Premier League football star Suarez! freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Uh, Lin, Brother, I’m sorry. I thought I was dreaming, so I bit you to try..."

Lin Mu had a dark line on his face. If you want to test it, you could bite yourself, why bite my arm? Don’t always think that my arm comes for free!

But an advertising fee of 100,000 is indeed an excellent deal for a newcomer. A duration of thirty seconds is considered quite long in the world of advertising, typically reserved for big stars who have such an advantage in endorsing ads like this, especially being aired during prime time which provides a significant chance to become famous!

Zhou Xun was somewhat puzzled. Such a great opportunity for fame is hard to come by for anyone except those top entertainment company stars. Without connections or fame, it’s very difficult to get such an ad. Newbies like herself would typically only get ads from local stations. This made Zhou Xun a bit overwhelmed!

"Director, are you sure there isn’t a mistake? I’m just a newcomer!" Zhou Xun pointed to herself, wearing a face full of disbelief.

Director Zhang chuckled and waved it off, saying, "Of course not, don’t worry. I never judge by fame, only by appearance and temperament. If someone is excellent, I will choose her. Everything else doesn’t matter! Fame, newbie, education, other conditions are all secondary in my eyes. After all, which famous star didn’t start as a newcomer? If you only think about doing small ads, how can you expect to succeed and improve your notoriety, right?"

"Director Zhang, thank you so much! Really, thanks a lot!" Zhou Xun nodded gratefully and said.

"You’re welcome, just do the commercial well and that will be thanks enough for me." Director Zhang laughed.

Zhou Xun nodded confidently, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!"

"Alright then, go to the makeup room, apply makeup, and then to the studio for filming. I’ll go prepare for the shoot and wait for you in the studio!" Director Zhang said, getting up.

"Alright." Zhou Xun stood up and nodded.

After Director Zhang left, Zhou Xun excitedly grabbed Lin Mu’s arm and started shaking it, "Brother Lin, this is so great, such a rare opportunity!"

Lin Mu quickly pulled back his arm, "Big star, you’re not going to have another bite, are you?"

Zhou Xun giggled, "No more, even if I bite, I’ll do it gently..."

"Don’t..." Lin Mu quickly retreated,

"Can I do it gently?" Miss Zhou playfully pretended to pounce with claws out,

Lin Mu quickly fled, with Zhou Xun joyfully chasing after him.

Even though Lin Mu was happy, he still suspected there was something fishy about all this, though he wasn’t sure what exactly. As long as Lin Mu understood one thing: whatever it was, it was surely for Zhou Xun’s benefit!

Zhou Xun caught up and leaned on Lin Mu’s shoulder, panting heavily, but her heart felt sweet as honey.

"After getting this money, I’ll treat you all to a big meal when we return!"

Lin Mu nodded and encouraged, "Seize this opportunity well, and you might become an overnight sensation!"

"Yeah, I’ll definitely work hard for it. Let’s go to the makeup room first!" Zhou Xun happily tucked Lin Mu’s arm and headed to the makeup room.

In the makeup room, the makeup artist finished applying makeup to Zhou Xun and helped her into a white dress. At this moment, it had to be said, Zhou Xun was like an angel, stunningly beautiful, looking much more attractive than before.

"Brother Lin, how about it, beautiful, right?" Zhou Xun stretched her arms and spun in place.

Lin Mu crossed his arms over his chest, nodded, and said, "The deep V-neck, uh, nice, it does highlight the chest!"
