This time, when Xiumin returned to the country, various companies were already stirring up trouble in favor of their own artists.
If Kai managed to get into the fray, he would definitely be in the limelight that night, and the fashion resources would come rolling in.
“Have you contacted him?” Kai asked.
“We’ve been in contact with the company for a while, but we didn’t expect Xiumin to suddenly come back. I think he only came back at the last minute because of you. Our company can afford high fees, and I believe that Xiumin won’t reject us. Also, I heard that he has plans to return to China to develop his career. If you wear his clothes, the effects will be huge.”
Kai’s face lit up as he said, “I have film and television resources now, but fashion resources aren’t top-notch. If I can’t get the six big blue and eight big red blood endorsements overseas, I won’t be able to improve my style. You’ll have to arrange Xiumin for me.”
Hu Lai smiled. “I’ll do my best.”
The so-called Six Blue Bloods and Eight Red Bloods were collectively known as the top luxury brands globally.
These artists had always only looked for the most impressive people to endorse. They had very strict requirements for their figures, looks, taste, and popularity.
Obtaining these endorsements meant that he would be recognized by the entire fashion industry. It also meant that his style would be acknowledged.
Currently, even many Best Actor actors, despite having good figures and looks, had difficulty getting such endorsements due to their dispositions and brands.
Only the most fashionable, tasteful, and fashionable artistés could get these.

In the afternoon:
In a private meeting room:
Jennie and Lisa were already sitting inside drinking tea, waiting for Minseok’s arrival.
Jennie had not officially met Minseok, but she had heard of him and seen his videos and photos.
She waited patiently.
Minseok came straight from the airport and had told Jennie and Lisa to wait there.
Jennie did not insist on going to pick him up.
She was drinking tea when Lisa stretched out his long fingers and placed them on her waist.
She had been frowning slightly, and he sensed her needs.
Jennie tilted her head and smiled at him.
Footsteps came from outside the door. Lisa retracted his hand.
Jennie stood up and the door was pushed open. The waiter led a young man in.
After he entered, he politely nodded at the waiter, who immediately turned around and left.
Jennie saw his face clearly. It was similar to the one in the video, but much more exquisite.
He had long, narrow single eyelids, and he had phoenix eyes. His nose bridge was straight, but he looked very delicate.
He gave off an extremely delicate and exquisite feeling, completely different to Sehun’s upright and righteous aura.
It was probably because Gu Sehun looked like his father, Lee Dong-wook, while this man looked more like his mother, Gu So-yeon.
He walked in and raised his eyebrows, looking at Jennie and Lisa.
“Jennie.” He opened his arms and shot Jennie an extremely flirtatious smile.
This kind of charmer was truly the best sort of man in the world.
Jennie walked towards him and threw herself into his arms. “Second Brother.”
Although this was their first official meeting, there was no longer any estrangement between the siblings. There was only natural kinship between them.
As Minseok hugged Jennie, he saw Lisa standing to one side. He asked curiously, “Why is he here?”
After all, he had been overseas and did not know much about Jennie. He had no idea that Jennie and Lisa had gotten married earlier.
Jennie glanced at Lisa and said bluntly, “Second Brother, Lisa and I are already married.”
“What?” Minseok exclaimed in surprise. “What about Kai?”
“Don’t bring that guy up.”
“But you can’t just get married like this… Did Mom and Dad and Big Brother agree just like that?” It wasn’t that Minseok wasn’t satisfied with Lisa. He just couldn’t accept Jennie getting married just like that.
Such a good sister should stay at home for a few more years. How could she get married just like that?
There had not even been a grand wedding. He did not want to acknowledge this marriage!
He sized Lisa up from head to toe. Could such a serious and cold man really give his sister happiness? How could a strict family like the Manoban’s show Jennie the greatest respect and love?
Jennie explained, “Second Brother, Lisa and I got married because we really love each other.”
Minseok sized Lisa up again.
He knew that Lisa had always had a cold expression on his face, as if someone owed him $250,000.
Although the Manoban family and the Lee family were engaged, it was just a marriage contract. In modern society, it was not important.
“Second Brother,” Lisa called out steadily. Facing Minseok, who was two years younger than him, he did not feel burdened at all.
“Who asked you to call me that?” Minseok could not help but frown. He had yet to admit that he had a brother-in-law.
Jennie smiled and said, “Second Brother, Lisa and I have been married for a while now. It’s impossible for you to get me to change my mind now.”
Her voice was light and melodious. Mine could not help but sigh. “You…”
He glared at Lisa and helplessly tapped Jennie’s forehead. Even if he did not accept it, he had no choice but to endure it. What could he do? It was her choice.
Jennie blinked at Lisa, signaling him to keep things light.
Of course, Lisa didn’t mind. Jennie’s family was his family. It would be fine as long as Jennie was still his.
“Why don’t we eat first? You’ve been on that flight for so long, you must be hungry,” said Jennie.
Lisa pressed the bell, and the waiter quickly delivered the food they had pre-prepared.
Mine picked up his chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls of each dish before putting them down. “The taste is just average.”
“If it doesn’t suit your taste, we can order more.” Jennie reached out for the menu. “I didn’t know your preferences. I ordered it according to my own tastes.”
Mine picked up his chopsticks again. “I didn’t eat much earlier, but now I feel that the aftertaste is quite fragrant. Let’s eat this. I think it’s quite good.”
Lisa silently refilled Minseok’s cup.
Minseok was slightly satisfied again. Everyone knew what Lisa was like. How could outsiders get him to personally pour tea for them? At least he was sincere!
However, Minseok was only slightly satisfied. “Don’t think about using such a small favor to make me acknowledge you as my brother-in-law!” he thought.
“By the way, Second Brother, I still have something I need your help with,” Jennie said when she saw that he was almost done eating.
“Ask away.”
