Chapter 480 Xue Ni Makes Her Move
In the old mansion of the Xue family.
Xue Ni was flipping through a stack of doc.u.ments on the table. They were the promotional materials for the movie “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.”
According to the information, after two days of spending a huge sum of money to promote the movie, the popularity of the movie had reached its peak. The next movie was “Mulan,” which was being promoted at the same time. Although it was ranked second, it seemed to be on the verge of surpa.s.sing them.
In addition, Bai Rong had not been able to promote the movie too much due to several negative factors since she had finished filming.

On the other hand, Fang Mo’er had once again become popular on the Internet due to the show “Adventure Battle”. The netizens were all talking about how she had survived a big disaster.
Based on this progress, it would only be a matter of time before “Mulan” surpa.s.sed “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai”. This was because even the foreign cinemas were actively promoting Fang Mo’er.
Xue Ni angrily clutched the information in her hands. She had also watched Fang Mo’er’s reality show live broadcast, but she had not expected Shi Mo to partic.i.p.ate as well.
She could not let Fang Mo’er stick to Shi Mo.
Bai Rong had always promised her that she would not let Fang Mo’er have an easy time, but so much time had pa.s.sed yet there was still not a single piece of good news. It looked like she would have to do it herself.
Immediately, Xue Ni called for her a.s.sistant and instructed, “Get me the phone number of the director of Fashion Jusha in China.”
Fashion Jusha was the largest fashion magazine company in China. The people who were featured on the covers of its magazine were either super-A-list celebrities, famous brands, or international models.
This kind of fashion resource was beyond the reach of ordinary artistes.
The director of this company, Su Xia, was very experienced in the fashion industry and had a wide network. However, it was only limited to China and was not well-known abroad.
The a.s.sistant quickly pa.s.sed the phone number to Xue Ni, who immediately called the director of the company. Who was Xue Ni? She was the second daughter of the Xue family. The daughter of such a prominent family was not comparable to the celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Whether it was a director or a big shot, all of them had to give her some face.
“I can help you to gain popularity abroad, but the condition is that you have to feature Bai Rong on the cover of this month’s magazine.” Xue Ni went straight to the point without bothering with any niceties.
“Miss Xue, your offer is very tempting. If it were anyone else, I would agree to it, but I’m afraid that Bai Rong is the only one I can’t accept.” Su Xia had not expected the daughter of the Xue family to actually call her personally, so she had rejected her very politely.
If it had been anyone else, she would have definitely scolded them for having a mental problem.
Xue Ni was not angry at being rejected. Instead, she continued to negotiate. “I know what your concern is. There has been too much negative news about Bai Rong lately, but have you ever considered whether there are any A-list celebrities nowadays who don’t have any negative news? Then, when they become popular, their fans will automatically ignore these things. Moreover, I’m very optimistic about her new movie.”
After saying that, she noticed that Su Xia did not reply immediately. Although she still had some concerns, she had already relaxed a little. She immediately continued to persuade her. “If you use Bai Rong this time, then I’ll help you to arrange for Lillian to shoot the cover next month.” When she heard Lillian’s name being mentioned, Su Xia’s eyes immediately lit up. Lillian was an international star. Her popularity could not be compared to the ordinary A-list celebrities in China.

If she could really be invited to shoot the cover, the magazine’s status within the fashion industry would instantly rise by several levels.
She immediately agreed, “Alright, deal.”
“Wait, there’s one more thing I need your help with.” Xue Ni suddenly thought of a way to deal with Fang Mo’er.
She said slowly, “Although we’ve confirmed that it’ll be Bai Rong, I’ll still have to trouble you to send an invitation to Fang Mo’er but reject it on the day of the shoot.”
“Miss Xue, I’m afraid you’re not familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry. When we send an invitation, we have to sign a contract and pay a deposit. If we renege on the deal, it would be considered a serious breach of contract and we would have to pay double the penalty.”
Although Su Xia was feeling unhappy about this, it was not appropriate for her to express it. Thus, she continued to maintain her polite tone.
When Xue Ni heard this, she let out a light laugh and said, “What if she’s the one who has to withdraw because she has too much negative news? Then that would mean that it’ll be her problem.”
This time, Su Xia finally did not reject her proposal.
Elsewhere, in Xiangyuan Residence.
Fang Mo’er was engrossed in writing the theme song for the promotional film when she received a call from Shen Yue.
“Miss Fang, the director of Fashion Jusha has also seen the reality show you appeared in and expressed that she is very optimistic about the “Hua Mulan” movie. She’s looking to collaborate with you on shooting the cover of the magazine in advance. Do you think you would be agreeable to it? If you go, it’s scheduled to be held four days later, two days before the release of “Hua Mulan”. I’ve checked and noticed that you haven’t made any arrangements for that day yet.”
Fang Mo’er could tell that Shen Yue was very happy. She knew about this company as well, but she had not expected that she would be invited before she had even reached the S-list. Thus, she readily agreed.
