Chapter 21: Her Luck Turned Too Fast, Yang Mi Couldn't Keep Up!

Seeing that Yang Mi was still uneasy, William said with great sincerity:

"That is correct. I simply wish to invite Miss Yang to collaborate with our company. Your potential and influence will ensure our products have an excellent market in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"This conclusion was reached after long-term observation and a vote by our internal management team!"

"It is just that I had not yet issued the final decision when Chen Yu unilaterally broke the agreement, which made me very angry!"

William did not dare to tell Yang Mi about Li Qing. After all, that was not his place to speak; if any problems arose from it, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Hearing this, Chen Yu, standing to the side, was stunned. This was pure, unadulterated nonsense. Chen Yu did not understand why the Chairman valued Yang Mi so highly, but he dared neither speak nor ask. He could only nod and apologize:

"I am sorry, Miss Yang. It was indeed my mistake. Please forgive me!"

Chen Yu’s attitude was extremely sincere, worthy of an award-winning actor. However, he had his own calculations, determined to make the Chairman pay a heavy price:

"As long as you collaborate with Estée Lauder, you may name any terms you wish!"

"Regarding the endorsement fee, our company can offer triple the amount!"

William Lauder did not feel the sting; instead, he added with a straight face:

"Indeed!"

Yang Mi was left bewildered by the two men’s words. She kept feeling that the situation was not as simple as it appeared. But looking at it now, everything seemed perfectly fine!

Seeing Yang Mi hesitant, William Lauder grew restless and worried:

"Miss Yang, are... are you still unwilling to cooperate with us?"

He Baibai could no longer contain herself. She nudged Yang Mi’s arm and whispered:

"Sister Mi, don't just stand there, hurry up and agree! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Yang Mi came to her senses and nodded blankly:

"Well, I am certainly willing to cooperate with you, but I don't think these gifts are necessary, right?"

Yang Mi did not want to accept such expensive gifts for no reason.

Chen Yu smiled:

"Miss Yang, these are from the company, please feel free to accept them! Otherwise, we would feel quite guilty!"

Seeing Yang Mi agree to the collaboration, William beamed:

"That is wonderful!"

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

Yang Mi smiled, her eyes still filled with disbelief:

"Hehe, a pleasant cooperation."

Chen Yu took out the contract and placed it before Yang Mi, saying:

"Miss Yang, we will offer an endorsement fee of 15 million!"

"Furthermore, you will receive a one-percent share of the sales profits!"

Yang Mi was shocked once again. An endorsement fee of 15 million? This was a high price that even the biggest stars in the entertainment industry had never seen! Most importantly, she was also getting a one-percent cut of the sales profits. It sounded small, but Estée Lauder’s sales volume was massive. A single product line could easily generate over a billion in annual profit! She could earn tens of millions in dividends every year!

Yang Mi found it hard to believe. Had Estée Lauder gone mad?

Before Yang Mi could recover from her shock, William added:

"Additionally, we have decided that Miss Yang will be the face of every future product series!"

Yang Mi felt as if she were having trouble breathing. To her, this was like a giant pie falling from the sky—she had suddenly taken flight!

"This..." Yang Mi was at a loss.

Chen Yu said respectfully:

"Miss Yang, please look over the contract. If there are no issues, let us sign it now."

Taking the contract, Yang Mi read it cautiously, fearing there might be a trap. After all, why would such a good thing happen for no reason? However, there were indeed no issues with the contract. Under the watchful eyes of the three men, Yang Mi nervously signed it.

Seeing Yang Mi sign, the weight was finally lifted off William’s heart! Thank goodness, the remedy was successful; otherwise, if he had offended Li Qing over this, Estée Lauder would certainly have faced dire consequences later!

"Congratulations, Miss Yang! A pleasant cooperation!"

William Lauder was delighted:

"Since the contract is signed, we will not disturb your rest any further."

"The endorsement fee will be transferred to your account shortly."

William and Chen Yu prepared to leave. Yang Mi called out to them:

"Mr. William, Mr. Chen, when will we be shooting the commercial?"

Having taken the money, she felt uneasy not getting to work immediately.

William paused and turned back with a smile:

"No rush, Miss Yang. Once things are handled on our end, I will notify you."

"You can take a good rest during this time."

With that, William and Chen Yu gently closed the door and left the apartment. After they left, Yang Mi stood there in a daze, looking at the room full of gifts and the astronomical contract in front of her, feeling completely lost in a trance!

Is this real? What on earth is going on?

He Baibai stared at Yang Mi, then jumped up with joy:

"My god, Sister Mi, we are going to be rich!"

"Sister Mi, you are my goddess!"

He Baibai danced with excitement, wanting to give Yang Mi a huge hug. Fortunately, Yang Mi reacted quickly and dodged:

"Baibai, do you think this is real? I keep feeling like something is wrong!"

He Baibai said excitedly:

"What could be wrong? I looked at the contract too, it’s completely fine!"

"Sister Mi, you are just too excellent, even you didn't realize how talented you are!"

Looking at the gifts in the room, He Baibai couldn't help but exclaim:

"My goodness, Estée Lauder is so generous! These cosmetics alone must be worth over 400,000! Added to all the other things, it’s over a million—it’s like they just gave away a luxury car!"

Yang Mi frowned, feeling very suspicious:

"But, don't you wonder why they are suddenly being so good to me?"

"The other party is the Chairman of Estée Lauder, a world-renowned entrepreneur. Would he be this respectful to a celebrity for no reason?"

He Baibai paused, then thought about it—it did seem a bit strange:

"Yes, that foreigner just now looked like he was begging you, terrified that you wouldn't sign the contract!"

"This is indeed a bit abnormal. Is it possible that all foreigners are like this?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said:

"You're overthinking it."

"But the contract is already signed, so let's leave it at that. If there really is something going on, we'll find out eventually."

He Baibai nodded and continued excitedly:

"Right, let's just enjoy it for now!"

"Sister Mi, you are officially a wealthy woman now!"

Just then, Yang Mi’s phone rang again.

He Baibai jumped in surprise:

"My god, they aren't going to offer you more money, are they?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at her:

"What are you thinking?"

She checked her phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Yang Mi asked calmly.

A middle-aged man’s voice came over the phone:

"Hello, Miss Yang. I am the Chairman of Jiaxing Media, Liu Yanbin."

"Can we talk?"
