Chapter 433 - 222: Gu Pan’s Radiant Splendor (Part 2)

[Status: Normal]

[Favorability: 20 (Average)]

[Overall Rating: A]

Her hair was jet-black, her skin like jade, and her delicate oval face wore a touch of light makeup.

Her nervous expression gave her an indescribable air of purity.

She was dressed in a JK uniform; the top half was a white, short-sleeved shirt with a red tie at the chest.

The bottom half was a gray pleated skirt, paired with white sneakers and black thigh-high socks.

The outfit made her long, straight, and fair legs look incredibly alluring.

So much so that many of the guys eating nearby pretended to casually glance back at her.

Some were even more blatant, simply staring at her while they ate.

’A baby-faced beauty with huge...’

In terms of purity, among his girlfriend group, only Du Xinxin could hold a candle to her.

But there was no competition; Dong Bai’s figure completely crushed his own Xinxinzi.

"Xiaobai."

Gu Pan, sitting opposite them, was momentarily stunned by Qi Sheng’s appearance.

But she quickly grew wary.

’For my best friend, who’s completely clueless about love, a man this ridiculously handsome represents an overwhelming, unfair advantage.’

Although Gu Pan had never been in a relationship, she could tell he was a top-tier player.

"Oh, Panpan, Brother Sheng is so handsome. He can’t possibly be a bad person."

Dong Bai’s cheeks flushed the moment she saw Qi Sheng’s face.

It was obvious she was completely smitten with him.

"Use my meal card. Just remember to scan my WeChat and pay me back later."

Gu Pan pulled out her meal card without hesitation.

She wanted to prevent any more sparks from flying between the two over this.

After all, they had been best friends for three years.

She really didn’t want to see Dong Bai get her heart played with by a scumbag.

"Alright."

Only then did Qi Sheng turn his attention to Gu Pan.

This stunning beauty, who was even a notch above Dong Bai, truly had a unique charm.

Her features were bright and captivating, her figure sexy and enchanting.

Qi Sheng felt a sense of astonishment.

Her glistening, amorous eyes were especially captivating.

She reminded him of the famous big-eyed actress Rosamund Kwan.

They seemed to perpetually radiate a flirtatious energy, utterly mesmerizing.

She was about 170 cm tall and well-proportioned.

Perhaps because she rarely exercised, there was a touch of softness on her arms and belly.

From a fitness perspective, she had a slightly fuller figure.

Qi Sheng had never liked bony women; he felt there was nothing to hold onto.

Compared to Dong Bai’s JK uniform, Gu Pan’s style was much bolder.

A low-cut, short red dress that completely showcased her excellent figure.

From Qi Sheng’s angle, he could peer right into Gu Pan’s deep cleavage.

Snow-white, full, and incredibly tempting.

It sparked an urge to reach out and have a feel.

If any other guy had looked at her like that...

Gu Pan would have rolled her eyes at them long ago.

Perhaps it was because Qi Sheng was so handsome.

While Gu Pan was a little guarded, she also felt a little smug.

’We’re both at the level of a top-tier god and goddess. It’s only natural for there to be some mutual appreciation between equals.’

Qi Sheng took Gu Pan’s meal card and casually found a food stall.

He got a serving of rice noodles and walked back.

Gu Pan watched as Qi Sheng naturally sat down next to Dong Bai, who in turn looked pleasantly surprised.

Even with her there as a third wheel, the two started chatting and laughing.

"Are you both performance majors?"

"My major is product design. Panpan is in the performance program."

"Then you must have heard of Pop Mart?"

"Of course! I especially love their Molly line. I even submitted my resume to the company, but I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to intern there."

"You’re so pretty and cute, you’ll definitely get the internship."

"No way, I’m not as pretty as Panpan."

Dong Bai lowered her head shyly, but in her heart, her favorability toward Qi Sheng rose quite a bit.

[Dong Bai’s Favorability +10. Current Favorability: 60 (Smitten)]

"Ahem, Xiaobai, I’m done eating. Let’s head back to the dorm."

Gu Pan had to interrupt to stop them from hitting it off any more.

"O-Okay."

Dong Bai was a little reluctant, but she obediently picked up her tray.

"Hey, I haven’t scanned your payment code yet."

"Hmph, consider it my treat."

But Gu Pan ignored him, turning and pulling Dong Bai away.

As her slender waist twisted, her full, rounded buttocks, like two full moons, swayed in an exaggerated manner.

The movement of her long, sexy legs drew the gazes of countless boys.

At the Beijing Film Academy, many guys called Gu Pan’s walk the "devil’s walk."

Whenever Gu Pan unleashed her devil’s walk, everyone was captivated by her charm.

Gu Pan was the only campus belle with both top-tier looks and a top-tier figure.

’Tsk, truly top-shelf.’

Qi Sheng finished his rice noodles unhurriedly, then called the newly appointed Scones.

"Chairman Qi."

"Check with HR if there’s a student from the Beijing Film Academy among the intern applicants named Dong Bai."

"Yes, sir. I’ll get on it right away and send you the results."

"Mm, that’s all for now."

Qi Sheng was completely confident about winning over Dong Bai.

As for Gu Pan, that wouldn’t be a problem either.

If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, it’s impossible without a patron.

Since she was already a junior, Gu Pan must understand this principle.

As long as he showed off his power as a financial backer, he had no doubt Gu Pan would take the bait.

The office space vacated after Pop Mart moved out.

It would be perfect for the entertainment company he was about to establish.

As for the company name, it had to be something grand.

’How about Huaya Entertainment?’

The name was very impressive, but a quick online search revealed something.

There was an old film company in Xiangjiang with that exact name.

’Fine, then let’s call it Universal Entertainment. It’s just as impressive.’

"FUCK, it’s fucking registered too."

Qi Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he couldn’t be bothered to think of another name.

He glanced at the company’s market cap—only 450 million.

What more was there to say?

He’d have the money at the beginning of next month; he’d just buy it outright.

Seeing the call from Scones, Qi Sheng answered it.

"Boss, I just asked the HR department. They did indeed receive Miss Dong Bai’s resume."

"I’ve already had them contact Miss Dong Bai. There should be a result soon."

"Good. You handle things at the company. Only come to me if there’s something you can’t solve."

"Yes, Boss."

Scones looked pleasantly surprised.

As a professional manager, he naturally liked a hands-off boss like Qi Sheng.

"Director Sun, this Miss Dong Bai is an intern the boss has specifically asked us to look after."

"Once she’s on board, you will personally get her acquainted with the business."

Scones was a bit worried, so he specifically called over Sun Lin from the design department to give her the instructions personally.

"Of course, President Si. I’ll do my best to help Miss Dong adjust."

Sun Lin was very smart and clearly understood what Scones meant.

’If things go as expected, this beautiful woman could be the future lady boss.’

She certainly wouldn’t miss an opportunity like this to perform well.

"Good. You can get back to your work."

Scones had a lot of things to deal with.

With the company relocating, less than half of the employees were willing to move.

This was understandable.

How many of the people who came to the Capital City to make a life for themselves would be willing to just leave with their tails between their legs?

Chengdu was nice, but compared to the Capital City...

Whether in terms of salary or job opportunities, the gap was still quite large.

Even the employees willing to go to Chengdu were enticed by the attractive compensation package Scones had detailed in his all-staff email.

Weekends off, a nine-to-six workday, overtime pay, and plenty of room for promotion.

Scones had no intention of interfering with the employees’ choices.

As Qi Sheng’s most loyal employee, he was naturally full of confidence in the company’s future.

Moreover, Pop Mart’s business was already entering an explosive growth phase.

Where the headquarters was located didn’t affect the speed at which they made money at all.

It was precisely because Pop Mart’s profits were starting to take off that Wang Ning had been so unwilling to sell the company.

But he was powerless against a greater force.

All the investors had signed off on the sale.

Even as the majority shareholder, he couldn’t ignore the consensus.

As for starting over from scratch, hiring new designers, and re-establishing offline sales channels...

All of those steps would take time.

And in the designer toy industry, time is of the essence.

Even Wang Ning, the founder, couldn’t have predicted what Pop Mart would become.
