Chapter 1177: A Mannequin
Chapter 1177: A Mannequin
Evelyn’s face lit up as she read the investigation report.
"Seems like it is really official." She muttered. With the Vanguard Guild’s official post making the same statement, it couldn’t be wrong.
However, she quickly turned sour and cursed Lin Feng to the sky.
"What is wrong with their Guild Leader?" Evelyn hissed and glared at Diana. "Does that bastard-like Guild Leader have no other people to cast but use women to lure investors?"
’They’re not even looking for investors, though.’ Diana smiled bitterly.
She clearly understood it was temptation and seductiveness to gather interest from others.
But she couldn’t possibly say those three women were sensual, lest she would get scolded.
’Seriously, there are no rumors of Cool Wind being involved with the opposite sex whatsoever. Why did he suddenly have to come out to the public, and be entangled with three actresses at that?’ Diana’s life was truly in a pickle because of the Cool Wind.
Her boss was killed by such a person. Yet rather than being angry, her boss seemed to be charmed and hit with some love poison.
It was truly a mystery as to what was going on in Evelyn’s brain.
"This can’t be done!" Evelyn suddenly slammed her palm.
She rose from her seat and ordered, "Get a private jet ready. I need to head over to Avalon City and check my idol—I mean, invest in the Vanguard Guild’s project."
’Invest, huh?’ Diana wasn’t stupid or deaf. She obviously heard her talk about checking the idol first. That was clearly her main objective, but as a secretary, it was her duty to play stupid.
"I’ll have them ready." Diana adhered to the command and made a few phone calls.
In less than a few minutes, Diana informed her that the private jet was ready for takeoff. This was the power of being rich. With just a few phone calls and an order, one could easily travel in the blink of an eye.
The poor would never be able to understand or experience such things in their life unless they become courageous and take risks to earn big.
While Evelyn was preparing for the trip to Avalon City, many other influential people were also doing the same.
This was an opportunity for them to finally establish some business deals with the Vanguard Guild in the real world.
And it was also their honorary elder!
An honorary elder was usually a nominal position within an affiliation with no actual power except for their extraordinary status. However, Cool Wind was clearly different from the typical honorary elder.
Not only did he actually hold power to command the Vanguard Guild itself, his authority also didn’t seem to be any less than the cunning four-eyed Guild Leader Lin Feng.
The two of them were truly polar opposites of each other.
Lin Feng was cunning, shrewd, ruthless, and cold-hearted. In contrast, Cool Wind was righteous, heroic, and impartial.
The popularity of the two might both be high, but the category placement was different. Lin Feng was known as the devil, whereas Cool Wind was known as the angel.
There was even an open poll at the moment under the very promotional poster of the Vanguard Guild. The moderators didn’t bother to delete the poll either because of the traffic it brought to the promotion poster.
As for Xu Feng, he naturally didn’t even bother with the so-called popularity contest between his two aliases.
Moreover, he couldn’t even afford to waste his time on them when he was currently in a clothing store, being used as a dressed-up doll for some game.
"Hmm, these ancient clothes aren’t bad either." Chen Kexin glanced at Xu Feng’s new outerwear and commented.
"Indeed, but we need to choose one as the main outfit." Li Sheng Xuan rubbed her chin and said. In a drama shooting, it would be a nuisance to constantly change outfits.
Not only would it delay the shooting process, but the clothes must also make sense if they decided to keep swapping them.
This was also why most short dramas had the actors continuously wear the same 1-2 sets of clothes.
Of course, that only applied to males. For females, though, they would have many outfits to swap into, especially the seductive kinds, to tempt the audience to continue watching and pay for the streaming fee.
"Why bother choosing one?" Ding Xiao Ying suddenly chimed in. "Just have Brother Feng wear all of them. With our approved budget, we can afford that, and it would also give the audience a fresh taste of sense."
"You have a point there!" Realization dawned upon Chen Kexin.
"Hmm, seems like I still need to fix my mindset a little bit." Li Sheng Xuan nodded and agreed with Ding Xiao Ying’s statement.
Why should they restrict themselves to 1-3 sets of clothes only?
Their budget might not be akin to those big production dramas, but at the very least, it was still adequate for them to do something major and different.
While they were immersed in their conversation, Xu Feng was still standing like a mannequin in the background.
’Why was I subjected to such a situation?’ It was the first time Xu Feng wanted to be rescued by an arrogant young master.
Usually, being accompanied by three beautiful women and trying on new expensive clothes in a store would incur the wrath of some jealous young masters.
They would first talk down the main character and then try to snatch the beautiful woman away from him, only to end up being faceslapped so hard.
Subsequently, they would cry and speak the typical villain lines before retreating to find their father or grandfather for revenge.
By then, the situation would have continued to escalate, where even their supposed deceased ancestor was brought back to life, and then would be killed almost immediately or in the next Chapters.
’Where are these fucking young masters at? Did they all get sent to another multiverse to be killed by a modern cultivator?’ Xu Feng cursed silently. He seriously wanted to have this kind of scenario rather than become a model to try out many clothes.
His legs were sore from all the standing, and he could see many employees’ eyes leering at him.
He felt so exposed and weak.
