Yun Xiangxiang was a minor character in both her lives. She didnt understand why pride needed to be preserved through this way.

Judging by the economic prowess of Song Mian and Lucifer, neither side would flinch even if the ante was in the hundreds of millions.

Since raising it or not wouldnt hurt the other side, then why should they fight over it?

The consequence of this kind of fight was Yun Xiangxiang being in the center of the limelight. This kind of gold coin would then see a soar in value!

Yun Xiangxiang would rather lose this kind of limelight than to give the evil capitalistic collectors an advantage.

Not fighting didnt mean that they didnt have the strength. It didnt mean that they were afraid either. It just meant that this was below them.

Not many people in the hall knew Song Mian. However, lots of them knew Lucifer. Almost nobody dared to snatch anything from him.

Anything that Lucifer bidded was sold in a single announcement throughout the whole auction.

Song Mian didnt put anything up for auction. He only bidded a collectors item for show in the end.

The charity gala ended successfully. Yun Xiangxing still got to know a lot of people. Lots of them were the decision makers for luxury brands of different nations.

Those who were interested in her all greeted her. Even though they did not leave any contact information, Yun Xiangxiang was already happy enough.

Everything needed to start somewhere. Once someone started following her, that meant there might be an after that.

The dinners pioneer sent Song Mian off himself. He looked at Yun Xiangxiang and praised, You two look good together.

Thank you. I think so too, Song Mian turned his head aside. His gentle gaze fell upon Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang stood graciously at Song Mians side. She said nothing and just kept smiling.

Song Mian made some small talk with him before waving him goodbye.

King. Their car came over. Lucifers voice spoke from behind them when they had just walked down the staircase and were in front of their car.

Song Mian didnt look back. He opened the door for Yun Xiangxiang, Its cold outside. Wait for me inside the car.

New York Citys weather in January was really freezing. Yun Xiangxiang wasnt wearing anything too thick. There was a heater inside the car. She still shivered even when she was wearing Song Mians coat when she was outside.

She immediately felt warm once she got into the car. He Wei who was sitting in the passenger seat earlier said, Austin invited us to his company tomorrow.

When will it be? Yun Xiangxiang asked.

She promised Song Mian to return to the country with him tomorrow. She and He Wei would hitch a ride on Song Mians private jet.

It would be a flight of ten odd hours. There was also more than ten hours of jet lag between the two countries. They planned to board the flight in the afternoon. It would be night time when they disembarked. They could sleep once they got home.

In the morning, He Wei also knew when their return flight would be. Its probably about compensating you over The Star of Peace.

Its my loss if I dont take it, Yun Xiangxiangs eyes curved when she smiled.

She did say that she would give it to Austin unconditionally. Even if Austin didnt say anything, she wouldnt be unhappy.

However, if Austin wanted to compensate her, there was no reason for her to reject the goodie.

She would be righteous if the situations called for it. She would think for herself when it was time to do so. She was still a pauper.

However, Yun Xiangxiang didnt expect Austins compensation package to be so enormous.

Yun Xiangxiang was slightly embarrassed when she saw the contract in front of her, Mr. Austin, if its possible, I would actually prefer it if you just give me a piece of check.

This is the result of the discussion among our whole companys top executives, said Austin smilingly. We are showing our gratitude to you with the highest sincerity we can muster. Thank you for helping us get through this crisis.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at He Wei. Austin was actually giving her two percent of MonRoes share!

That meant after signing this contract, she could get MonRoes dividend annually starting this year.

Even though it was impossible for her to have any major power by having two percent of shares, it was a stream of continuous income.

She would have an extra income every year unless MonRoe recorded a loss, or if MonRoe went into bankruptcy.

Just sign it. You wont need to worry about starvation anymore, He Wei said to Yun Xiangxing humorously.

She wouldnt hold back since even He Wei had asked her to sign.

Austin presented another contract to her after she signed the first one, This is also the companys decision.

Yun Xiangxiang was shocked after she flipped it open. It was an extra-long period contract for the spot of global ambassador.

The duration would see its end along with Yun Xiangxiangs retirement from the entertainment industry.

That meant MonRoe wouldnt consider having anyone else as its ambassador as long as Yun Xiangxiang was an actress and stayed in the entertainment industry.

MonRoe only had two product lines: jewelry and wristwatches. Since there was still half a year before the contract with the actor who was the spokesperson for the wristwatch expired, that part of the contract would only come into effect starting from the second half of the year.

The endorsement fee wasnt a set amount though. It would fluctuate with Yun Xiangxiangs market value. The fluctuation would depend on Yun Xiangxiangs ability.

Yun Xiangxiang had never heard of this kind of contract before, Mr. Austin. I feel that this is a very hasty decision.

All of us believe that your future is immeasurable, Austin was very relaxed. This contract benefits both of us.

It could be said that they were investing in Yun Xiangxiang. If they locked Yun Xiangxiang down now, Yun Xiangxiang would work with MonRoe for life in the field of jewelry and wristwatches.

The benefit would increase along with Yun Xiangxiangs influence.

Yun Xiangxiang held the pen. What she saw first wasnt pride or benefit. It was responsibility and trust.

After a brief moment of silence, she signed her name stroke by stroke, Mr. Austin, I will work even harder.

Austin took a gift box from his assistant after he accepted the contract, I apologize for possibly not being able to attend your coming-of-age ceremony. I hope that you can accept this gift of mine.

She had signed the contracts for the shares and lifelong contract. Rejecting a birthday gift now would seem pretentious. Yun Xiangxiang graciously accepted it, Thank you.

Austin wanted to treat Yun Xiangxiang to a meal after they finished talking about business. Yun Xiangxiang declined it politely. She didnt want to hold him up, and they needed to go back to their country.

Yun Xiangxiang opened the birthday gift Austin gave her after she got into the car. The brilliant jewelry shone so much, her eyes hurt.

It was as she thought. Austin gave her the set of Angel jewelry that she wore during the launch conference to her.

You arent happy even after you got this treasure? He Wei was amused when he saw Yun Xiangxiang being so down.

I just think that I shouldnt receive anything if I didnt work for it, Yun Xiangxiang sighed and closed the box.

You really wont feel secure if the result isnt borne from your sweat and blood, He Wei couldnt understand how Yun Xiangxiang cultivated this habit. You have to know that this thing was gained by risking your life.

She almost lost her life. Even though she didnt work for it, it didnt come easily either.

If it was anyone else, they probably wouldnt be able to live to enjoy it.

I feel a bit more secure now that you said it, Brother Wei, Yun Xiangxiang would feel more justified if she recalled the thrill of that night more.

Theres another piece of news. Justice and Selflessness is now off screen. Its total box office is four hundred and eighty million yuan, He Wei looked at Yun Xiangxiang while he said that.

Director Lin Jialiang is probably elated, right? Yun Xiangxiang smiled brightly.

Four hundred and eighty million wasnt low. It naturally couldnt be compared to her previous films box office.

Hong Kong films have been in a decline in recent years. Their box office generally wasnt high in the mainland.
