The Crazy Son-In-Law

Next, the atmosphere between Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai seemed somewhat awkward. After all, it had been a long time since they had seen each other!

Seeing Xiao Shun looking around without saying anything, Mo Yibai, feeling helpless, broke the silence first.

“I heard you’re preparing to open a branch in Harrow. How’s the project going?” Although she hadn’t been in touch with him for a long time, she had still been keeping an eye on the movements of this man in front of her.

“What else can I do? I’ve run into some trouble with the project,” Xiao Shun said with a wry smile.

“Is that why you came to talk to me about the project?” Mo Yibai was not the kind of woman to act without thinking. Seeing Xiao Shun’s current state, she already had an inkling.

“Yeah,” Xiao Shun nodded and got straight to the point, “There’s something I might need your help with.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yibai, with a faint smile, expressed some emotion, “You were a great help to me on my way to fame. If it weren’t for your help back then, I might still be an unknown star. So, tell me, how can I help?”

Seeing her so willing, Xiao Shun nodded slightly, recalling that he hadn’t helped this girl in vain.

After a moment of contemplation, he picked up his coffee and took a sip before explaining Yao Cen’s plan.

“Do you want me to do a live stream to help promote Starline Health locally in Harrow?” Mo Yibai was slightly stunned upon hearing Xiao Shun’s words, showing a look of surprise.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun asked, “What’s wrong? Is it difficult?”

Mo Yibai shook her head, “It’s not about difficulty, I’m just curious.”

Xiao Shun didn’t need to ask to know what she was curious about and said, “You’re probably wondering why we want to sell the product through online channels despite having a large customer base for Starline Health in Stillwater and a good reputation among the public. Even though this is Harrow, I believe our sales shouldn’t be lacking. So, why go to the trouble of live streaming sales?”

“Ah, you think it’s my idea,” Xiao Shun shrugged helplessly, looking at Mo Yibai with a wry smile. “All of this can be attributed to that jerk, Tan Haohan!”

As he spoke, he recounted the various suppressions Starline Bio had recently encountered and his feud with Tan Haohan.

“Hmm?” Mo Yibai was slightly surprised. “You mean Tan Haohan, the richest man in Oars?”

“Your expression is a bit strange,” Xiao Shun remarked, observing Mo Yibai’s unusual expression.

Mo Yibai didn’t answer Xiao Shun’s question, instead saying something unrelated, “I remember telling you a few days ago about a notice I got in Harrow, right?”

Xiao Shun, with a good memory, naturally wouldn’t forget. So he nodded silently.

Seeing this, Mo Yibai first took a sip of her water, cleared her throat, and then said, “The notice was from Tans Group, where Tan Haohan is based. It seems they want me to shoot an advertisement for them. Although I don’t know the specific content of the ad yet, from what you just said, I think I have an idea.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun felt a sudden realization and burst into laughter, “Haha, it looks like that rich Tan is planning to have you endorse his new product!”

Mo Yibai rolled her eyes, “He probably thinks that because my last endorsement for Starline Health was such a hit, he wants to emulate that success. After all, with my current influence, I could bring in a large number of orders for his product in a short time.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but admire Tan Haohan’s foresight. The fact that he had invited Mo Yibai to endorse his product in advance was evidence of this.

Thinking about this, he joked, “I remember we signed a contract before, and you are the lifelong spokesperson for our Starline Health products. You can’t let Tan Haohan’s financial assault knock you down!”

Mo Yibai gave Xiao Shun a disdainful look, “Do you think Tan Haohan would care about the penalty in our contract? You probably don’t know the fee he offered me for this ad!”

“From the look on your face, I guess it’s a staggering amount?” Xiao Shun smiled with interest.

“Ten billion!” Mo Yibai calmly stated the figure, looking pleased.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

A billion-dollar endorsement fee clearly indicated Mo Yibai’s high standing in Tan Haohan’s eyes. Such a price tag would put many A-list celebrities in the country to shame!

“I didn’t expect you to be so valuable. Maybe you shouldn’t lose weight; after all, every pound lost is money lost!” Xiao Shun’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Mo Yibai, feeling annoyed, said, “Why do you always say things that sound off? Is it really that hard to give me a compliment?”

“Wasn’t I just complimenting you?” Xiao Shun felt a bit hurt.

Mo Yibai glared at him, “Do you ever compliment people like that?”

“My bad, my bad, I won’t do it again,” Xiao Shun said sheepishly.

After some banter, Mo Yibai brought the conversation back on track, looking a bit uneasy, “What do we do now? I’ve already accepted the notice from Tan Haohan, and two days ago, Mr. He had already signed the cooperation contract. If I back out now, it will have a negative impact on me and the company.”

Xiao Shun nonchalantly glanced at Mo Yibai, “How much is the penalty for breaching the contract?”

The number she mentioned next nearly made him spit out his coffee!

“It’s twice the endorsement fee, two billion!”

“Whoa!” Xiao Shun’s heart raced. This was not a small amount by any means.

To be honest, he had been quite well-off before, but he had been spending lavishly and was a bit tight on funds lately.

“If I can’t terminate this contract early, I won’t be able to help you with the live streaming, which would violate the spirit of the agreement,” Mo Yibai said, feeling distressed.

“Is there any other way to terminate the contract besides paying the penalty?”

“Unless the endorsed product is found to have quality issues, then I can use the protection of my reputation to withdraw from the endorsement.”

“Quality issues?” After a moment of thought, Xiao Shun inquired, “When is the shooting and release time for this ad?”

Mo Yibai thought for a moment before replying, “I think my assistant is already negotiating with Tan Haohan about this. If everything goes as expected, the shooting will take place in three days, and the ad should be in the market by the end of this week at the latest.”

Today was Tuesday, which meant Mo Yibai would finish shooting by the end of the week, and Tan Haohan would aggressively promote the ad across various channels by Sunday!

Time was of the essence.
