Top-Tier Superpower Student

Lin Tian slammed Meng Ke'er's photo album on the ground, sneered loudly, and yelled, "Fairy, you're not even pretty at all. Without makeup artists or Huaxia's Photoshop skills, you'd just be a witch, nowhere near as good as my little wife. Not pretty at all."

He then stomped on Meng Ke'er's photo album several times before turning his head towards Bu Mengting and said with a grin, "Little wife, she's not good-looking at all. If you were to do a photo shoot, you'd be ten thousand times prettier than her. You are the most beautiful in my heart."

With just a few words, Bu Mengting's anger dissipated by more than half. She looked smug, but modestly said, "How can I be as pretty as her? She's a celebrity, and I'm just a young girl."

Lin Tian seized the opportunity, went up to Bu Mengting and kissed her, then hugged her, saying, "In my heart, you are always the most beautiful."

Bu Mengting lowered her head and let out a shallow smile, then shared her thoughts, "Husband, can you do me a favor?"

Lin Tian guessed right. Bu Mengting indeed needed something from him. Otherwise, why would his little wife be so sweet?

"Little wife, what are you talking about, what favor? If there's anything, just say it. Leave it to your husband, and I'll make sure it's done perfectly," he said.

She smiled with satisfaction, then hesitated and muttered, "Well, it's just, um, it's just...!"

"Just spit it out. There's nothing your husband can't handle," he insisted.

"I want to expand the jewelry business. To do that, we need to bring our jewelry into the public eye. Meng Ke'er is the hottest singer this year, and now she has shifted to acting. Wherever she goes, she's the center of attention. If we can get Meng Ke'er to wear our jewelry in public, our jewelry is sure to sell like hotcakes," she explained.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Hey, that's a great idea! You go talk to Meng Ke'er about it. If need be, we'll just pay a bit more for advertising," he suggested.

"Husband, you make it sound so easy. Meng Ke'er is on fire this year. I tried to talk to her before, but I didn't even get to see her face. Her agent said that to get Meng Ke'er as our spokesperson, it would cost at least half a billion," she said.

"Wow, half a billion!" Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise, but he had never heard of a celebrity endorsement costing that much.

Even though Lin Tian was not short of money, the market value of Bu Mengting's jewelry business was only worth a dozen or so billion. Spending half a billion on endorsement fees wasn't cost-effective. Even if sales soared post-endorsement, it would take many years to recoup a half-billion investment—definitely a loss not worth the cost.

Half a billion was an exorbitant demand. Clearly, Meng Ke'er was not keen on collaborating with Bu Mengting, which was why she quoted such a high price. Since the gentle approach was not working, they would have to use force and pull rank if necessary.

Lin Tian said, "Don't worry, little wife, I'll talk to her personally tomorrow. Given my status and influence in Wu'an City, she will definitely give me some consideration. I will make sure she works with you, and I'll negotiate down her fee."

"No!" Bu Mengting rejected firmly.

"Ah!" Lin Tian looked shocked, thinking to himself, little wife, didn't you ask for my help? Now that I've agreed, you reject me? What are you trying to do?

"Husband, I want to have my own career. I don't want to just be the woman behind you. So when you go talk to Meng Ke'er, you must not reveal that you are Lin Tian, the founder of Tianyi Pharma."

Oh dear, this is a real conundrum!

Lin Tian scratched his head, momentarily stumped by the problem.

Bu Mengting herself was the boss of a company worth more than ten billion, and she couldn't even get a meeting with Meng Ke'er. If he didn't reveal his identity, how could he, as an ordinary person, meet the high-profile celebrity?

For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He turned to Bu Mengting and asked, "Little wife, what should I do then? As a common citizen, how can I meet a celebrity as popular as Meng Ke'er?"

"Hmph, I don't care, but if you don't get it done, don't come looking for me tonight," she said playfully.

Bu Mengting sat on the sofa, pouting and deliberately pushing out her chest.

Such an overt threat!

His main wife was far away in Yunhai, and without his little wife, what was he to do at night!

"Alright, little wife, I'll make sure to get it done and I won't reveal my identity," Lin Tian promised.

Bu Mengting's eyes gleamed with a hint of joy as she turned to Lin Tian and said, "Fine. Since you've already promised me, I'll give you three days. If I don't see the contract three days from now, I'll keep you out of my bed for a month!"

The number 'one month' sent a shiver through Lin Tian. A month was too long for him to handle.

No time to waste, he must act immediately.

He rushed out in a flurry. Once he was gone, Bu Mengting smiled proudly and mumbled to herself, "Lewd husband, I've finally found a way to control you."

Meng Ke'er was currently in Wu'an City to promote her new movie.

Lin Tian found out that she was going to have a commercial performance at 3 p.m. at the International Trade Building and take the opportunity to promote her new movie.

His current identity was that of an ordinary person, he couldn't use any of his resources, and, more importantly, he couldn't reveal the fact that he was Lin Tian.

After much thought, he came up with a sneaky plan and sought out Jiang Hui to join him in his scheme.

At 2 p.m., Lin Tian, along with Jiang Hui and others, headed for the International Trade Building. Five or six miles away from the building, their car couldn't move any further; looking ahead, my God, it was all people.

As Song Dandan would say, there was a din of drums and gongs, a dance of fireworks, flying banners, and a sea of ​​people!

There might have been tens of thousands of people, crowding the streets, with several hundred police and traffic officers trying to manage the crowd, but to no avail. Once Meng Ke'er arrived, people had already gone wild.

Facing the ant-like swarm of people, there was nothing to say—just squeeze through!

In the throng, chivalry toward ladies was neglected; the objective was just one thing, push through!

Lin Tian and Jiang Hui led the way; they were both superpowered individuals with exceptional strength. After an hour, they finally managed to squeeze their way to the entrance.

The performance by Meng Ke'er was taking place inside the room, but entry required a ticket, which Lin Tian did not have, so he could only watch through the large screen outside.

At three o'clock, Meng Ke'er appeared on the stage in the center of the International Trade Building, along with two male actors who were starring in her new play. Lin Tian recognized one of the male actors but couldn't recall his name; the other seemed young, likely a newcomer.

At a glance, it was a youth idol drama, one without acting skills, all about relying on looks.

Lin Tian despised the kind of movies filled with young, fresh meat, where all they did was act cool and spout lines like "I love you, you don't love me," — so vulgar.

However, looking at Meng Ke'er, no wonder she was popular; the girl was indeed quite beautiful.

With hair draped over her shoulders, she wore a white blouse matched with blue denim shorts and six-centimeter-tall crystal high heels, exposing her long, straight, snow-white legs to everyone's view, incredibly sexy and certainly a feast for leg enthusiasts.

Meng Ke'er was naturally gorgeous, and with just a bit of makeup, she was absolutely a knockout, the national goddess in the hearts of all men!

With a microphone in hand and her legs tightly closed, Meng Ke'er stood upright in the center of the stage. She waved to the audience, then began, "hello, everyone, I'm Meng Ke'er. Thank you for coming here to watch the promotion of my new play. Thank you all."

Her voice was as melodious as Immortal Melody, extremely sweet, sending a tingling sensation through everyone's bones!

She smiled faintly, stunningly beautiful, and then bowed elegantly to the fans to show her politeness.

The power of fans is infinite, especially some brainless fans who are hopelessly foolish.

A few simple words, an ordinary bow, instantly ignited the passion of the entire crowd.

"Wow! The goddess actually bowed to me, the goddess actually bowed to me, did you see that, did you see that?"

"The goddess is so beautiful, each frown and smile are so charming!"

"So beautiful, such a sweet voice."

"Ker'er, we love you."

"We love you, love you."

"Love you...!"

..., ....

Emma, is this necessary? Have these people gone mad? Lin Tian looked down on this crowd with extreme disdain. It was just a celebrity saying a few words on stage, was it worth such a reaction? They weren't even this excited when the Shenzhou VII spacecraft was launched!

With fans' enthusiasm running high, Meng Ke'er also showed a satisfied smile. She continued, "My new play is titled 'A Slight Smile Is Very Charming,' which is about... In the end, I hope everyone can support my new drama 'A Slight Smile Is Very Charming,' premiering nationwide on September 17. I hope you all will support it."

"Sing us a song, and we will buy tickets to support."

"Goddess, we will definitely support, definitely."

"Goddess, are there any kiss scenes? We want to see you kiss."

"Goddess, I heard there's a scene in the swimming pool, your boldest performance yet, I will surely buy a ticket to see it."

"Goddess, we support you, always support you."

..., ....

There was a variety of comments from the audience, including some obscene ones about spending a night with Meng Ke'er. In summary, everyone was looking forward to the play—not for the plot, not for the acting, but for the looks.

As for the two male leads beside Meng Ke'er, they were rather awkward as no one paid them any mind. Meng Ke'er alone held the entire audience's attention!

Then, after the two male leads said a few words, they left the stage. Meng Ke'er concluded, "Thank you for your support. To thank you all, I will sing a song for you, my breakout piece, 'That One Summer.'"

"Great, love this song."

"I love listening to this song the most."

"Good, sing it quickly!"

..., ....

As the music flowed, Meng Ke'er took the microphone and began to sing.

"That one summer."

"I was waiting for you."

"And you were...!"

Meng Ke'er's voice was naturally sweet, capable of reaching deep into a person's bones. Hearing it live felt different than listening on QQ Music; it was a sad song that moved about half of the audience to tears, and even Lin Tian's eyes became misty.
