Chapter 135: Becoming a Fan on the Spot

Taking it from his hand, she heard herself whisper, "Thank you."

Once downstairs, Yun Fu glanced down at the lemon tea in her hand before pushing open the car door. Outside, Lian Hanqi was a step behind; he only walked up to her after she had exited the vehicle.

"You—" Before she could speak, Lian Hanqi had already reached out to embrace her, pulling her tightly into his arms. From a distance, one could not even tell there was someone in his arms; Yun Fu was completely shielded by him, as if behind a solid barrier.

"I am very happy," his deep, magnetic voice resonated near her ear. "That you were able to come to me today."

His grip tightened, and the fragrance from her body drifted into his nose even more wantonly.

"Goodnight."

Yun Fu pulled away from his embrace, silently counting how many times this man had taken advantage of her—but she couldn't; the number was impossible to track. Forget it, she thought, considering how many times he had helped her, she wouldn't hold it against him. Plus, she would count it as a favor for the lemon tea.

"Goodnight." With that, she turned and headed upstairs without hesitation.

Lian Hanqi shook his head helplessly. What a little heartless one she was. He took out his phone to look at the message Yun Fu had sent him earlier that day:

【Lian Hanqi, have your people call the folks at Xunmo Company. I want to ruin him!】

【What happened? Don't be impulsive, I'm heading over now.】

【No need, just make the call.】

And so, while Lian Hanqi had his assistant make the call, he simultaneously investigated the ins and outs of the situation. This led to the Xunmo CEO firing everyone in the advertising department except for the director.

Watching the light turn on in the familiar window, Lian Hanqi finally drove away.

News of what happened at Xunmo had long been quietly leaked online by insiders, though few believed it. Who could believe that a single female celebrity could summon both an internationally renowned photographer and a top-tier stylist, and even have them fire an entire department of a company? Xunmo was no ordinary firm; their "Hero Vanguard" game was a nationwide phenomenon.

However, all skepticism vanished at the sight of a single photo. In it, Yun Fu was surrounded by people, but standing closest to her were none other than the famous photographer Fang Li, Shengshi Entertainment's exclusive stylist Alex, and the CEO of Xunmo himself.

【What does this mean? It means you can offend anyone, but never offend Yun Fu. Have you forgotten how many industry titans she stirred up last time?】

【What kind of crossover of the century is this? Yun Fu is truly formidable; she can run into any titan she wants.】

【Even the Lian family speaks up for her. Some people are just idiots, thinking they can do whatever they want just because they have a little status.】

【If it hadn't been Yun Fu today, but some other celebrity, they probably would have had to swallow their pride and suffer in silence.】

【Some people are truly disgusting.】

Those who had been fired originally intended to smear Yun Fu online, but after seeing this, not a single one dared to court death.

Originally, the advertisement was expected to take about two weeks to produce, but thanks to Yun Fu's assertive display that day, it was finished in just one week. The day it was released was also the day Yun Fu returned to film "Our Travels." Director Liu had been very generous in giving her a week off.

At seven in the evening, "Hero Vanguard" updated its Weibo on time, tagged Yun Fu, and released the video. At the same time, various television channels aired the commercial.

Zhu Xiaojun was a gaming enthusiast and a streamer on C-Station. That evening at seven, he logged on to stream as usual, but the game's splash screen had been changed. He instinctively blurted out a curse—not out of anger, but because it was simply too beautiful.

All previous celebrity endorsers had done little more than put on game costumes, apply makeup, add some voice-overs, and call themselves spokespeople. Most of them were A-list stars, but he had never liked them; they lacked the soul of the game characters.

But today was different. It was a female celebrity he didn't quite recognize, knowing only that she was stunning. What captivated him most were her eyes; it was as if she were truly standing on a battlefield, a commander wielding a weapon. She wore crimson battle armor, the helmet reflecting a dazzling light, and the red eyeliner trailing from the corners of her eyes looked as breathtaking as fresh blood.

"Damn, who is this? The new spokesperson? This feels so real; she is exactly the heroine I envisioned."

Among those watching his stream were people who recognized Yun Fu.

【Hahaha, even the streamer has fallen for her. I also think this spokesperson has a special vibe; she feels like the hero herself, not just someone playing dress-up.】

【Her name is Yun Fu. She plays Qian Xuan in the hit drama "Jinghong," a peerless beauty. But this commercial has me stunned as well—she is the heroine incarnate.】

【Her gaze is lethal. I feel like she’s going to jump out of the screen and kill me any second.】

【I noticed that too. I didn't think there would ever be a day you'd appreciate a spokesperson, streamer. Don't you usually hate them?】

Zhu Xiaojun saw this comment: "That was before. Can those even compare to this? Her name is Yun Fu, right? I'm officially a fan."

【Hahaha, converted on the spot.】

【Must say, Yun Fu is really good-looking.】

【Finally, a lead who respects the game character. I wonder if she knows how to play.】

【She probably does. Didn't she play with Mu Bai a lot on that variety show before?】

【Knowing how to play is one thing; playing well is another.】

The release of the advertisement had an unprecedented impact. Everyone who saw it was left in awe. This time, Yun Fu instantly gained a wave of gamer fans, all because of that commercial.

The CEO of Xunmo decided that very night to immediately deploy the ads on large screens; he wanted more people to see Yun Fu. He believed that many who didn't play games would download it just because of her.

Just as they hoped, the commercial aired on television also introduced many others to Yun Fu. In the ad, she darted through lakes, soared over mountain forests, and raced across battlefields. In just one minute, they were left with surging blood, experiencing the passion of the martial world. Furthermore, the production was exquisite, the makeup superior, and the cinematography captured her beauty so perfectly that the commercial felt higher quality than a movie.

The commercial hit the trending lists with lightning speed.

【A breathtaking commercial. Truly worthy of a top-tier photographer; even the dynamic shots are captured so beautifully.】

【The makeup artist is also a genius. She really is so beautiful.】

【It really transcends the quality of a movie. Is this really just an ad? How is it so amazing?】

【Yun Fu's acting is also top-tier. It gave me goosebumps.】
