Chapter 273 - 168: I’ve Become a New Fashion Darling?

Reba smiled shyly, then got up and walked to a corner to answer her phone.

"What?" A gasp of surprise rang out.

Reba stood there covering her mouth, a look of utter disbelief on her face.

"Got it, Sister Mi. I'll head back to Shanghai as soon as I'm finished here."

"Okay, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Reba still felt like she was in a dream.

She was still lost in the shocking news even after walking back to her seat.

"What's wrong, Reba?" Deng Chao asked. As the captain of the Running Man crew, and since they were all close friends, he was the one to inquire.

Hearing Deng Chao's voice, Reba snapped back to reality. She knew he had been a huge help with the recent publicity push, which was a big reason she had gained so much from it.

So she didn't hide anything, saying directly, "Sister Mi just called. The luxury brand Dior chose me to be their global ambassador!"

"What? Dior's global ambassador?" several astonished voices echoed in the private room.

Everyone in the room was in the entertainment industry. They knew exactly what being a global ambassador for Dior meant. Only the most popular female celebrities in the business ever achieved that status.

For a moment, everyone in the Running Man crew had a different expression on their face. Of course, aside from some initial surprise, Deng Chao and Chen He were remarkably calm.

But "Big Bull," who sat opposite Deng Chao, caught their expressions and asked curiously, "Old Deng, how come you and He aren't curious?"

"What's there to be curious about? It's perfectly normal," Deng Chao said with a calm shrug.

The moment he said that, all eyes turned to Deng Chao and Chen He.

And Chen He nodded in agreement.

At this, everyone's curiosity intensified. Even Reba shot them a questioning look.

"Come on, guys, don't leave us hanging. Spit it out, what's going on?" Big Bull said in a pleading tone.

Deng Chao and Chen He exchanged a glance before Deng Chao spoke. "It's all thanks to Reba's 'rumored boyfriend,' isn't it?"

His words only confused everyone further. Only Lu Zi and Reba had a faint inkling of what he meant.

Just as the others were about to press for more details, a knock came on the door of the private room. A waiter walked in, carrying platters of exquisite food.

Having worked all day, everyone was famished. Deng Chao and Chen He gestured for everyone to start, and they dug in. Seeing this, Big Bull and the others could only swallow their curiosity for now.

One by one, they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

After eating and drinking their fill, Big Bull and the others, feeling tired, returned to their rooms. Only Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Zi remained, heading toward Deng Chao's room while chatting and laughing.

Reba, who was about to return to her room, stopped in her tracks. The only thing on her mind was whether her Dior ambassadorship was because of that Mr. Su.

After a moment's deliberation, she quickened her pace and walked toward the three men.

"Brother Chao~"

The three men, who were just about to enter the room, heard her call and turned in unison to look at her.

Seeing her hesitate, Deng Chao knew exactly what she wanted to ask. He smiled and said, "Come on in. We can talk inside."

With Chen He and Lu Zi present, Deng Chao wasn't worried about any misunderstandings.

Once they were all seated, Deng Chao said with a smile, "You want to ask what Chen He meant back at dinner, don't you?"

"Mhm! Is it because of Mr. Su that I became Dior's global ambassador?" Reba asked, her head bobbing up and down like a chick pecking at grain.

"That's right!" Deng Chao thought for a moment before adding, "However, I doubt Mr. Su himself even knows about it. After all, he wouldn't concern himself with such a minor detail."

"Huh?" Two gasps of surprise rang out as Lu Zi and Reba stared at Deng Chao in shock.

'Since when was becoming a global ambassador for Dior considered a minor detail?'

Their shocked reactions were exactly what Deng Chao had expected.

"Brother Chao, who exactly *is* this Mr. Su?" It wasn't Reba who asked, but Lu Zi.

Seeing as they were all friends, Deng Chao didn't hold back. "Let's not get into everything about Mr. Su. I'll just tell you the part you're interested in..."

By now, Reba and Lu Zi were completely hooked, staring at Deng Chao with wide eyes, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

"Mr. Su is the largest individual shareholder in the Big Three of the world's top luxury conglomerates."

The answer was like a clap of thunder exploding in their ears. The two of them were so stunned they couldn't snap out of it for a long time.

Meanwhile, our protagonist, Su Chen, was leisurely soaking in a hot spring and admiring the ocean view. Life was good.
