Chapter 025: Actor Duan, Red for Twenty Years
The two of them walked into the cell phone experience store together. The place was crowded, with many young girls in school uniforms among the customers.
A sales assistant immediately approached them with a bright smile. “Which one of you is looking to buy a phone?”
She couldn’t help but be taken aback by the sight before her—the man was handsome, and the girl was even more striking, ethereal in her beauty. What a perfect couple, she thought.
“I am,” Bai Chuwei replied.
The sales assistant’s smile grew even sweeter. She led them to the counter and took out a large-screen phone, introducing it eagerly, “Miss, this is the Moyun V20, a new model launched just this March, endorsed by the popular film emperor Duan Xiuqi. It’s extremely popular among young women. If you buy it now, you even have a chance to get his autograph.”
Bai Chuwei immediately understood why there were so many young girls in the store. The walls were adorned with posters of Duan Xiuqi—it turned out he was the store’s spokesperson.
The sales assistant was about to start listing the various specifications of the phone when Bai Chuwei’s delicate brows furrowed impatiently. She interrupted, “No need for an introduction. I’m not buying this one.”
The sales assistant was momentarily stunned. The V20 was currently their hottest seller; out of every ten girls who came in, nine wanted the model Duan Xiuqi endorsed. She hadn’t expected such a decisive refusal from Bai Chuwei.
Could it be... she was an anti-fan of Duan Xiuqi?
“I want the Moyun 10 Pro, top configuration, in silver,” Bai Chuwei said.
The sales assistant was startled and immediately glanced at the man standing quietly beside Bai Chuwei.
Duan Feihan stood with one hand in his pocket, his expression indifferent and his gaze deep. When he noticed the sales assistant looking at him, he gave a slight nod.
The sales assistant was inwardly shocked. The Moyun 10 Pro was designed for high-end clientele, starting at thirty thousand yuan and over forty thousand for the top configuration. What ordinary person would buy such a phone?
This young lady looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen, yet she already knew how to get such expensive things from a man at her age.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll go get the Moyun 10 Pro for you,” the sales assistant said before heading to the storeroom.
As the two of them waited, two or three girls in school uniforms, each holding a new phone, approached. One of them asked, “Excuse me, but do you have some kind of grudge against Xiu Xiu?”
Clearly, they had overheard Bai Chuwei refusing to buy the phone endorsed by Duan Xiuqi.
Bai Chuwei lazily lifted her eyelids. “He’s an eyesore, that’s all.”
The schoolgirls, looking to be middle schoolers, flushed with anger and were about to argue when a cool male voice cut in, “Security.”
Several security guards quickly came forward and escorted the girls out.
Since the launch of the Moyun 10 Pro more than half a month ago, fewer than a hundred people had bought it from this store. Customers like these were not to be offended.
Bai Chuwei leaned back in her chair, resting her chin in her hand as she looked at Duan Feihan with interest. “Isn’t your third brother, Duan Xiuqi, already a thirty-eight-year-old man? How does he still have such a crowd of brainless fans?”
Duan Feihan’s gaze was thoughtful. “I don’t know.”
No sooner had he spoken than the sales assistant returned, a little breathless from excitement, holding the phone. She explained, “Duan Xiuqi has been popular for twenty years since his debut, and he’s a true film emperor. People love his looks and his acting skills—he has an enormous fan base.”
Bai Chuwei let out a light, dismissive laugh. “Is that so?”
The sales assistant continued, “What people love most is his love life. When he was eighteen, he publicly announced he’d wait twenty years for a girl. Everyone thought it was a joke, but for those twenty years, he lived an upright life, and only this year is he preparing to get married. How could someone like that not attract fans?”
