Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: It Has to Be Her
Watching Lin Tian’s face, neck, and cheeks covered in lipstick marks, Lin Tian clutched his stomach, tears of laughter almost spilling out.
Of course, everyone else was equally amused, even the elder teased that this lad was quite lucky in love.
"Sis! Lin Tian let them bully me! Why didn’t you stop them? Aren’t you jealous?" Lin Tian said, trying to wipe the lipstick marks from his face with his hands, not realizing that the more he rubbed, the more even the marks became.
"Why would I stop them?" Miaoqiu teased, "So many beauties, pretty and sweet-voiced, you’re really fortunate. This might be the peak of your life."
"Hmph! Even you’re making fun of me!" Lin Tian said angrily.
At this moment, Xu Dongxu also smiled and said, "Lin Tian, your cheeks are flushed and your forehead is full, your future luck with love is quite promising, just now was only the beginning."
The reason Xu Dongxu came along was because the elder’s Heart Demon was not yet eliminated. Plus, thanks to Lin Tian’s Longevity Elixir, past grudges were set aside. With the last few days’ interactions, relationships were further harmonized.
"What do you mean, just the beginning?" Lin Tian frowned, "Are you saying... there will be many more women like this in the future?"
Xu Dongxu nodded, "Especially many!"
Lin Tian’s expression instantly turned peculiar. It was unclear whether he was scared or happy, but his expression was certainly interesting, making everyone laugh heartily again.
As the group, joking and chatting, walked into the main hall, a stunning beauty approached, her eyes grinning, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing she was in a great mood.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first, I’m Bai Shishi, Ruyan’s best friend, and owner of Celestial Dragon Hotel. We’re all family here, feel free to tell the staff if you need anything, everything is complimentary."
This beautiful woman was none other than Bai Shishi, the owner of Celestial Dragon Hotel. Compared to the boss at last year’s Xianglong Tea House, Bai Shishi has become smoother, more mature, exuding a charming femininity.
In Lin Tian’s eyes, Bai Shishi looked very healthy, her figure gradually returning to its former glory, perfectly balanced from bust to hips. Her touch must be wonderfully supple now, just right.
Bai Shishi naturally noticed Lin Tian’s invasive gaze, her cheeks blushing as she turned to give him a flirtatious look.
Everyone noticed the flirtatious exchange between them, suspecting something was going on, but nobody paid much attention. Only Xu Xianrong looked at Lin Tian contemptuously, letting out a soft snort.
"Bai Shishi?" Xu Xianrong appraised the woman with great temperament in front of her, smiling as she said, "I’m Miaoqiu and Ruyan’s aunt. I’ve heard you’ve taken good care of Ruyan over the years, thank you."
"You’re Ruyan’s aunt?" Bai Shishi was somewhat surprised.
"Why? Don’t I look like it?"
Bai Shishi laughed, "No, you look far too young. I’ll just call you sister then."
"Haha, fine." Xu Xianrong was also a woman and naturally loved hearing such words, making her more fond of Bai Shishi.
Mei Ruyan looked helplessly at Bai Shishi, "By calling her that, isn’t the generation getting mixed up?"
"It’s not mixed up, we’re just keeping it separate." Bai Shishi said.
After a few pleasantries, Bai Shishi led everyone by elevator to the luxurious suite on the top floor.
By this time, the big round table was already filled with dishes. Lin Tian tip-toed forward to see, finding dishes as beautiful as paintings. He only recognized the particularly large lobster in the center, while the others remained unknown.
"Let’s eat and chat." Bai Shishi said.
"Young lady, isn’t there too much food here?" The elder said with his hands behind his back, but he still looked quite satisfied with a face full of smiles.
"It’s for the welcome, so a bit extra is fine." Bai Shishi laughed.
The group sat down, took a sip, and then began to eat and chat. Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan sat together, whispering quietly, occasionally glancing towards Lin Tian.
After the welcome banquet, the elder took Lin Tian and left first, saying after being out for so many days they should also return to Luoyan Dock. Lin Tian didn’t want to leave Miaoqiu, but unfortunately had recognized his teacher, so he had no choice but to go.
After the meal, Bai Shishi suddenly pulled Lin Tian over to the sofa in the suite, handed him her phone, and said, "You know this woman, right?"
Lin Tian, looking somewhat puzzled at Bai Shishi, took the phone.
"Just tell me if you know her."
"I know her, why?" Lin Tian nodded. On the phone was a poster of Jiang Pan Die. How could he not know this girl had kissed his face?
"Good that you know her." Bai Shishi smiled, "There’s a major task for you!"
Lin Tian, seeing her mysterious demeanor, couldn’t help but feel nervous, "What task, and it’s major?"
"Since you know her and our company needs an image ambassador, you have to invite her over." Bai Shishi said.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes, "I thought it was something big. Isn’t it just inviting an image ambassador? Get someone to negotiate, our company’s name is big, can’t we sign a celebrity?"
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending? To date, Jiang Pan Die only sings, holds concerts, and shoots MVs, never taking on other commercial collaborations or shooting any ads. It’s not that advertising fees are expensive, she doesn’t accept such work. Tell me, if not you, who else should I send?"
Lin Tian smiled helplessly, "Nobody else can do it, but I can?"
"You’re naturally a nemesis of women. If it really doesn’t work... you might have to sacrifice a little charm, but don’t let her take advantage." Bai Shishi said.
Lin Tian scratched his head, "Sacrifice charm but don’t let her take advantage, there’s a flaw in your words."
Bai Shishi raised an eyebrow, "You’re really thinking of sacrificing charm?"
"Uh... no, I was just asking casually." Lin Tian felt somewhat speechless, how come chatting involves traps?
"If she doesn’t work, can’t we invite other stars? I think there are plenty of good-looking ones in showbiz." Lin Tian said.
Bai Shishi shook her head, "No. We chose her not just because she’s good-looking. Of course, appearance is a significant part. Our PR department has done research, among high-popularity and beautiful girls, Jiang Pan Die fits our company standards best, with few haters, and a somewhat grander demeanor. These suit our company, other female artists from the past half-year didn’t match my expectations at all."
"So it has to be her?"
"It has to be her!" Bai Shishi said, "Qiansimei isn’t just mine; it’s also yours. Shouldn’t you, as a hands-off boss, do some work?"
Lin Tian blinked, murmuring, "If I get her signed, is there a reward?"
"What reward do you want?"
"You can warm my bed."
