My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 448: 448: Want to buy a gift

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Want to buy a gift
A good night’s dream.

The next morning, Rong Yan got up early, changed her clothes, and told the man who had been busy in the study since early morning that she was going out.

Downstairs, Estelle had already been waiting for her in the nanny van. Seeing her come down, she helped her open the car door, “Are you sure you want to take this event? Your popularity has already risen, and it’s only a matter of time before you move up the ranks. I showed you this when you first returned to the entertainment circle. Now there’s actually no need to take on resources like this anymore.”

After getting into the nanny van, Rong Yan closed the door herself, wearing a duckbill cap, she smiled and said, “I know. But I want to make some quick money, and this event is close to home and only takes half a day. Anyway, I have to wait for the AQ competition, and I don’t have any other work arrangements, so I might as well take it.”

“You… are you short on money lately?” Estelle frowned, hesitated, and said, “If you’re short on money, I can…”

“No,” Rong Yan hurriedly stopped her, stuck out her tongue, and said with an awkward smile, “I don’t want to borrow money anymore. Borrowing money would weigh me down with ‘pear pressure’.”

Estelle gave her a look, “Would I ever rush you to pay me back?”

Rong Yan, “That’s not what I meant. I know you, Estelle, wouldn’t rush me, but I feel guilty. Another reason is that I want to use the money to buy a gift for someone. It just doesn’t seem sincere enough if the money is borrowed.”

Estelle understood all at once.

Rong Yan didn’t say whom she was buying the gift for, but Estelle already knew who it was.

If it was a gift for that person, no wonder Rong Yan was willing to lower her standards to take on this promotional event.

However… it still surprised her that the remuneration from that promotional event, when divided up, would only amount to a few tens of thousands in Rong Yan’s hands. As a female star, with such a substantial backer behind her, her own artist seemed poorer than she had imagined.

Shouldn’t she, as that man’s sweetheart, be quite wealthy?

But she always had the impression that Rong Yan was extremely low-key. She never boasted about her backing in the circle, and she would always try to solve issues by herself without ever thinking of turning to that man. She hadn’t even the money to buy a gift…

If she hadn’t seen with her own eyes how that man cherished his artist, she would have doubted if Rong Yan had fallen out of favor.

Despite having the support of Capital City’s biggest financial pillar, Rong Yan could still be as poor as a church mouse, leaving Estelle at a loss for words.

“That’s true. If you’re giving someone a gift, it’s best to buy it yourself.” Estelle didn’t ask why she was so poor; instead, she told the driver, “Go to Rhine Plaza.”

In the car, she went over the details of the day’s activities that Rong Yan would need to undertake.

It was mainly about accepting a photo session interview with the reporters invited by the shop owner. Estelle would filter the questions in advance so that Rong Yan wouldn’t have to worry.

After the interview and photo session, Rong Yan would have to act as the shop’s ‘Manager for a Day.’

Essentially, it was just a marketing stunt to stand as a spokesperson for the brand.

Rong Yan took note of everything, and the nanny van arrived at their destination.

For the promotional event, she uncharacteristically wore a skirt paired with high heels for the day, showing off her normally hidden long legs, which were dazzling and captivating.

Upon arrival, the brand’s representatives led her directly to the shop entrance, explaining the work flow for later, just like Estelle had done.

The media present for the photo shoot had all been notified by the brand, and had good relations with them. Therefore, even though Rong Yan was currently very popular, the media did not give her a hard time, and the interview and photo session went very smoothly.
