Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 42 42. Being hyped

After the assistant left.

Han Xixi hesitated for a long time, but still made a voice call to Lin Xiao, telling him the whole process of being interrogated by his mother just now, and asked him not to reveal the truth later.

Lin Xiao thought it was okay at first, until...

"Did you tell your mother that we slept in the same room?" he asked back.

"Yeah...yes, that's right!"

Han Xixi's ears turned red instantly.

Even though she was the only one in the apartment at the moment, she was still uncontrollably shy and nervous when it came to the lie of sharing a room.

"Shouldn't I say that? I was thinking that both of us pretended to sleep together in my house..." she whispered.

"This one……"

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly, "It's different in your house and in mine. In your mother's mind, this is your first time meeting your parents-in-law, so theoretically you can't be too proactive. If you live with me, it will be easy for your in-laws to think you're paying for me, and they'll use you as a bargaining chip when they talk about betrothal gifts and wedding houses!"

The more they talked about this topic, the more awkward it became.

The fake husband teaches the fake wife how to deal with the fake parents-in-law... I always feel like something is wrong.

Lin Xiao laughed: "But it's okay. Anyway, we are just in a contractual relationship, and we can't get to the stage of betrothal gifts and wedding houses. If your mother has any opinion about me and our family because of this, it doesn't matter!"

On the other end of the phone, Han Xixi was silent.

"Well then...I'm going to take a break!"

"OK, good night!"

"Good night……"

Han Xixi spoke in a low voice and hung up.

Lin Xiao always felt that her mood suddenly became a little strange, but he couldn't figure out why, so he didn't think much about it.

……

The next day, a new week began.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi were separated from each other, and each of them was immersed in a tense and busy life.

Before Lin Xiao was promoted to deputy section chief, as the only backbone of the office, Section Chief Li Mingtao would always paint a rosy picture for him and do some work for him when assigning him tasks.

Now that he has become a full-fledged deputy section chief, Li Mingtao simply stops pretending and hands all the department's work to him, even all important matters that require the department head's signature and meetings.

Li Mingtao himself is late and leaves early, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, leading a very leisurely life.

Lin Xiao felt overwhelmed when he saw the mountain of materials on the table.

It’s not like there’s no gain.

His current work status completely confirms his initial guess: once he embarks on the path of promotion, he will be like a beast of burden who can be exploited at will in the eyes of his leaders, and he won't even have the right to complain.

Looking at the rising salary, Lin Xiao could only grit his teeth and throw himself into the daily work of plowing the fields and grinding the mill with oxen and horses.

the other side.

Han Xixi's work also became extremely busy.

For two consecutive days, she was in the studio shooting the promotional posters for "Human World". Since she was a complete novice in this area, even though she was naturally beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament, she still couldn't let go when facing the camera, so it took two days to achieve the effect that the photographer wanted.

In addition to shooting posters, the company also arranged many offline announcements for her.

These tasks are not entirely centered around the new song "Human World", after all, it has not been officially launched yet.

The company's attention to her has skyrocketed.

It’s all because I know the power of “Human World”, and I’m also very satisfied with her performance of this song.

Once the new song is released, it will be unstoppable. Han Xixi's popularity and influence will rise sharply, and she may even get rid of the influence of the "sponsor scandal"! Seeing these prospects, the company naturally pays more attention to her and arranges higher standards for her performances.

Han Xixi didn't feel anything about this.

Anyway, she likes singing, so it doesn't matter to her where she sings or how many audiences there are.

On the contrary, manager Zhou Hui was so happy that she couldn't stop sighing, "Oh, this teacher Ma Yao is really a benefactor to our Xixi! You see, you became popular when you participated in "The Voice of China" because you sang "Later" written by him. Now your reputation has been damaged and the company doesn't pay attention to you anymore. But you relied on his song "Human World" to turn the situation around.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not only is Mr. Ma a great songwriter, but he also gave you a timely help... It's just that he's a mysterious person and never shows up. Otherwise, I would have to take you to visit him and consolidate our relationship!!"

Han Xixi saw Sister Hui was so excited, but she didn't feel that much in her heart.

She was also grateful to Teacher Ma Yao for writing the song "Human World" for her, but she felt that doing her best to sing the song well was the greatest reward to the composer.

She didn't think much about the rest.

……

Under the operation of the company's publicity and promotion department.

"Human World" will soon be released on Penguin Music at 11pm on Friday, November 1st.

Han Xixi didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and was extremely nervous for a moment, wondering what netizens would think of her performance.

But along with the good news comes bad news.

"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!!"

Manager Zhou Hui said with a red face, "That Yan Na is really haunting us! Last time, she tried to steal Human World from you behind my back, and she didn't give up even after failing. This time, she wants to take advantage of our popularity again!"

"What's wrong?" Han Xixi asked.

"I just found out that Yan Na's debut album's title song will also be released on Friday night, and it will be in the same recommended position as you."

"Same recommendation position...what does that mean?"

Han Xixi looked confused.

Zhou Hui sighed, sat down and said, "Do you know that Yan Na and you are called 'Red Rose and White Rose' in the company?"

Han Xixi nodded, although she didn't like this title.

"That Yan Haibo might have gotten the inspiration from this name and planned to release Yan Na's hit song and your song 'Human World' together. Even the promotional posters are combined into one. She is the red rose and you are the white rose!"

Zhou Hui said this and opened a poster from WeChat and handed it over.

Han Xixi took a look.

The exquisite poster is divided into two parts by a diagonal line. The upper part is a charming red. Yan Na has a delicate and seductive face with enchanting makeup, and she is holding a gorgeous red rose in her hand.

Written next to it is the title of her hit song - "Fantasy".

The lower part is pure white. Han Xixi has light makeup on, her eyes closed, and is holding a white rose bud in her hand. Next to it is written "Human World" in the same font as in "Dream".

One red and the other white, one desire and the other purity, "Fantasy" and "The World".

I have to say, just looking at the poster, it is very tense and attractive.

Only then did Han Xixi understand why the photographer insisted that she hold the white rose and wear a pure white dress when taking the poster.

She didn't think much about it at the time, thinking it was just the photographer's design.

Only now did she realize that she had been ambushed over there at that time, and she couldn't help but find it funny.

Now know the truth.

Han Xixi was not as excited as Zhou Hui, but said calmly:
"Is this a PK... I'm not afraid of her, I have confidence in my song!"
