The Matrilocal Alpha and the Cold Actress Sweetly Explode on a Romance Variety Show (GL) - Chapter 30
The fans in the group were extremely excited and completely enthralled by Jiang Zhi’s statement.
At that moment, a fan with the ID “Qingjiu” (Clear Wine) spoke up.
【My family business is in fitness equipment. Is there any chance we could hire Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi as spokespeople? It would be a great honor to have them endorse our brand.】
Jiang Zhi’s eyes instantly lit up. She was ecstatic, experiencing an unexpected surge of joy. She was surprised that a fan could actually provide such a resource. This discovery was incredibly fortunate.
She had only casually posted her internal thoughts in the group, not expecting to find any resources.
After all, any fan would likely agree with the idea. She never thought an unexpected opportunity would arise.
Fans are so capable!
She calmed her excitement and continued to ask.
“Really? Can you really invite Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi? We will absolutely support you.”
【AAAh, please, sister! I beg you to invite them! I will definitely take care of your family’s business. I already have my wallet ready. I was just looking for a place to spend my money!】
【Invite them to film a commercial! We will buy out your products and let you feel the spending power of us sisters!】
【It absolutely must be filmed exactly as stated above, an intimate commercial where they exercise and are intimate, hehehe. I can buy ten sets!】
Qingjiu: 【I really want to invite them, but I don’t know if they will agree. Many brands must be inviting them, and we are just a small company. It would be difficult to cooperate with them.】
Shen Tangxi was already an A-list actress, and her popularity soared after being on the dating show with Yu Xingyu. Her value had skyrocketed. Brands wanting to cooperate with them were numerous, queuing up without a chance.
So, this matter wasn’t easy.
Jiang Zhi ignored these concerns. She had finally found a fitness brand endorsement. Even if Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi were incredibly popular, they hadn’t had a fitness manufacturer approach them yet.
She loved fitness commercials. Even if it was just to satisfy her own desire to watch her CP, she had to finalize this deal.
And this matter was extremely important; it would ensure the happiness of all her “sisters” (CP fans).
“You should try inviting them! Maybe they’ll agree. You absolutely must invite them. This is very important. Maybe they actually want to film a fitness commercial.”
【Yes, sister! Go back and contact the studio immediately! This has to be settled! I’ll ask my friends to inquire with their agent if they are interested!】
【We all support you! We will message the studio later!】
Qingjiu: 【I hope it succeeds! If it does, I’d be incredibly lucky. Our brand would be very fortunate too.】
The group chatted excitedly for a while, enthusiastically discussing the fitness endorsement.
Jiang Zhi couldn’t wait any longer. She immediately messaged the fan for their contact information, added their phone number, and planned to meet in person to discuss details.
Unexpectedly, it was a relatively well-known fitness equipment brand. If they cooperated, it would be an excellent resource.
After discussing the key information with the fan, she also received the brand’s profile. The fee for the endorsement was also generally mentioned.
The dual endorsement fee was 40 million yuan a year. While not exceptionally high, it was a very respectable standard in the industry.
Jiang Zhi didn’t care about the money right now. The most important thing was convincing the two of them to accept the fitness endorsement. Even if this brand didn’t work out, she would find another fitness brand.
Then she could film the commercial she had dreamed of.
She had to succeed in securing this endorsement for her dream. She immediately grabbed the relevant documents and went to find Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi.
She also contacted their agent, Zhou Sisi.
Zhou Sisi was currently responsible for managing their affairs, and many decisions required her approval. Moreover, if Sister Zhou agreed to persuade them, it would be more effective than anything Jiang Zhi could say.
On the other side, Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu looked at the product profile for the fitness brand that Jiang Zhi brought.
“A fitness brand endorsement?”
“Yes, a fitness brand! Their company’s products include workout clothes, yoga wear, fitness equipment, and health foods—a whole range of products related to body slimming and beauty. They want spokespeople who are young, beautiful, have great figures, and are popular. You two perfectly fit the brand’s image! This commercial would also be relatively positive for your image in the industry. The owner’s daughter is your fan, so this is an endorsement pulled in by a fan. It’s incredibly lucky to have such fans! If there are no issues, you should accept it just for the sake of your fans.”
Her point was that as long as the endorsement had no fundamental problems, the pay was appropriate, and there was good potential for development, they should prioritize it.
Since it was an endorsement brought in by a fan, it would be excellent news within the fandom. Other fans would also be happy, significantly boosting fan goodwill. It was the right thing to do, both emotionally and practically.
This wasn’t about money. Accepting it, regardless of the fee, would exponentially increase their fan base.
So, this endorsement was very important and could greatly enhance the artists’ image.
Zhou Sisi was experienced and naturally saw the crucial point of this matter.
However, she had her own concerns.
“If the brand’s profile is accurate, this endorsement is indeed worth considering. We still need to vet the brand for a period before deciding whether to cooperate.”
Zhou Sisi was very cautious about accepting endorsements for Shen Tangxi. Many unscrupulous businesses had safety issues with their products. Endorsing such products could lead to a scandal, severely damaging the artist’s image. Otherwise, given Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu’s current popularity, they could accept any number of endorsements.
But they weren’t lacking money or social standing, so they wouldn’t choose to engage in activities that would consume their reputation.
The fitness endorsement Jiang Zhi brought was a good suggestion, but it still required careful investigation.
Jiang Zhi was a bit impatient: “How long do you need to investigate? Can you speed it up? This endorsement is really important. It will help your popularity a lot. Please prioritize it.”
“It will still take some time. Don’t rush. Nothing happens that quickly.”
Zhou Sisi said calmly.
She didn’t understand why Jiang Zhi was in such a hurry. They had many brands wanting to cooperate. If she signed a contract so hastily for every one, they would be bankrupt just from paying breach of contract fees if something went wrong.
Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu again: “If the investigation turns out fine, you two agree to accept it, right?”
Shen Tangxi nodded: “If the brand is good, we definitely agree. We have no reason to refuse.”
“Okay, then investigate this company first. The sooner, the better. The fans will be so sad if it takes too long.”
“…”
We’ll do our best.
Meanwhile, some fans quickly purchased the navel ring and received the dual signed photos, which included the celebrities’ lip prints.
Each photo featured a picture of the two of them, with both signatures beneath the corresponding lip print on the front and back.
Such signed photos were unique in the celebrity autograph world. No other celebrities had ever signed this way, making fans in other fandoms extremely envious.
This trend of having agencies film and provide lip-print signed photos for artists to send to fans suddenly became popular in the entertainment industry.
Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu had once again set a trend. The CP fans who received the lip-print signed photos were ecstatic.
Fans on the forums noticed a detail about the signed photos.
【Did you notice that Yu Xingyu’s lip print is always kissed onto Xi’s waist?】
【Yes! It’s that spot on almost every single one! What a naughty Alpha.】
【Yu Xingyu truly loves her! She must have enjoyed all that kissing this time.】
Other fans who didn’t receive one were insanely jealous. Given the one-in-ten-thousand chance, getting a signed photo was incredibly difficult.
So, in their frustration, they bought VIP memberships, planning to unlock the interactive videos.
After sales reached 30,000 VIP orders, the first interactive video was unlocked.
It was the scene of Yu Xingyu and Shen Tangxi kissing each other through the photo.
Although they were separated by a photo, the scene was very intimate, with a hazy, alluring beauty that made people scream in excitement, causing their adrenaline to spike.
All the fans finally understood at that moment that unlocking the video was completely worth it.
The next unlock goal was 60,000 orders. Many people still had money left and entered another round of frantic purchasing.
Yu Xingyu was utterly shocked seeing this sales target. She never imagined this goal would be reached so easily. It’s unbelievable.
That’s 300 million yuan.
Selling 300 million yuan worth of memberships was an achievement she couldn’t have imagined before. It seemed many purchasing customers came from wealthy backgrounds.
Yu Xingyu thought it might be because the pricing earlier filtered out the high-end customers. Now, the customers and fans were wealthy, so they could afford to buy the Starry Sky membership.
This had to do with branding. If the initial positioning had been for affordable jewelry, it wouldn’t have attracted premium customers.
However, achieving this success was heavily reliant on Jiang Zhi’s planning and strategy.
She truly is a business genius. I have to thank her properly.
Yu Xingyu felt surreal about truly becoming rich. She felt like time passed incredibly fast. It felt like no time had passed since she woke up in that dilapidated rental house.
Back then, she owed tens of millions, thinking only about working to pay off the debt, with a profound sense of powerlessness against the huge debt and no hope of repayment.
Now, she had not only escaped the debt crisis but also realized her dream, achieving great wealth.
She was genuinely happy to have earned several hundred million yuan, but this was still far from enough. She needed one billion, or several hundred billion.
In short, the harder she worked, the closer she would get to Shen Tangxi’s standing and be worthy of her status.
Yu Xingyu found Jiang Zhi and gave her a cash bonus of ten million yuan.
Her cousin had suggested many correct directions for her brand, allowing her to earn so much money. She had to thank her.
“Cousin Jiang Zhi, you must accept this card. It’s a small thank you from me personally. Without your idea, we wouldn’t have achieved this massive sales volume. It’s truly an amazing sales figure. Thank you so much.”
Jiang Zhi shook her head. She wasn’t short on money.
Her father was the Chairman of the Jiang International Group, and her mother was the CEO of Fengchuang Ronghua. She was a genuine heiress, raised with privilege, so money didn’t matter to her.
What she cared about was!
“Cousin Xingyu, I don’t want the money. I want you two to agree to accept the endorsement and film the commercial. Film the fitness commercial according to my theme. That’s enough thanks for me. I truly don’t care about the rest.”
Jiang Zhi no longer cared about money; she only cared about them showing their affection.
Shipping a CP was addictive. Not getting a dose for a day made her feel terrible all over.
“Okay, I agree to film it, but we have to wait for Sister Zhou’s approval. Once she confirms the company is fine, we can sign the contract immediately.”
Yu Xingyu also didn’t oppose taking the fitness brand endorsement. The higher her personal profile, the more beneficial it was for Starry Sky Jewelry.
“Great! I’ll go and rush them.” Jiang Zhi immediately rushed off to make a phone call.
Yu Xingyu was truly surprised that someone didn’t even want money. I wonder what the rich heiress is thinking?
If someone offered her money, she would take it without hesitation. Is this the definition of a wealthy person’s caprice?
A few days later, under Jiang Zhi’s relentless urging, Zhou Sisi finally gave her approval for the collaboration.
They encountered some issues during the contract signing.
The content of the commercial had to be filmed according to the client’s specifications.
And the client’s specifications for the content were extremely bold and stimulating.
It required the two of them to kiss, hug, and engage in various intimate interactions while exercising, with a relatively open level of intimacy.
The many restrictions made Shen Tangxi hesitate. She suddenly recalled Jiang Zhi’s previous suggestion of the fiery “dual push-up” scene.
It was highly likely that the client’s commercial theme required this kind of filming.
Shen Tangxi was a little resistant, but she couldn’t resist Jiang Zhi’s constant coaxing and persuasion, along with Yu Xingyu’s innocent, yearning, and pitiful little gaze.
She finally yielded to her soft heart and signed the contract.
Sigh, I have no willpower. This is truly regrettable.
She felt like the two of them were corrupting her.
Yu Qingjiu, the General Manager of Shenli Fitness Products, was seeing her idol for the first time and was incredibly excited, yet she tried to maintain a calm facade.
But she was close to losing control.
As soon as the contract was signed, she said:
“Let’s film the commercial this afternoon.”
“…”
This fast?
“Because the time is quite tight, we need to film as soon as possible. I will have the staff prepare. I hope you can cooperate.”
Shen Tangxi and Yu Xingyu didn’t expect the rush. They felt a vague sense of unease.
The two changed into specialized sports bras and sexy, tight shark pants for the shoot.
The very form-fitting fitness attire made their figures look even more perfect and alluring.
Shen Tangxi’s waist showed clear abs, slender yet defined. Her waist could be encircled by a hand, tempting one to touch.
Yu Xingyu’s figure was also very slender and healthy. She exercised regularly and had some lean muscle, giving her a sense of strength.
The two figures, one in black and one in white, were distinctly different.
The fitness commercial director arranged the filming details and instructed the two:
“Teacher Shen, please lie flat on the yoga mat. Teacher Yu, you should position yourself directly above Teacher Shen, parallel to her body, and perform push-ups with force.”!!!
Although she was mentally prepared, performing the act was still very stimulating.
Shen Tangxi lay down under Yu Xingyu, feeling very reserved and shy. She wanted to violently beat Jiang Zhi.
That girl is probably getting exactly what she wanted! She knew she hadn’t recommended the fitness endorsement with good intentions.
Yu Xingyu was also trembling.
But she was trembling with excitement.
She was incredibly eager to be close to Shen Tangxi, firmly confining her to the range of her body.
Jiang Zhi’s eyes lit up: !!!
“Alright, you can start! Increase the amplitude, ensuring you make contact with each other’s bodies every time you descend.”
…
The director’s instruction is really embarrassing!
Before Shen Tangxi could fully react, she felt the little puppy on top of her begin to move. The push-ups went up and down, the movement was intimate and highly impactful. Especially when her body landed on top of Shen Tangxi, she intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against her soft spots and sensitive skin.
It was a tingling sensation, incredibly ticklish.
Just as the beauty was about to softly complain.
Yu Xingyu descended the next second. Her eyes instantly became focused, and she landed precisely on her lips.
The moment her body descended.
Their skin tightly pressed together, and their scent rushed forward.
Their lips also met.

Yu Xingyu: Sister, you are so sweet.
