139: Plans cannot keep up with changes

They arrived at the Pullman Hotel, which is situated on a large oasis, bordering a beautiful stretch of beach known as Bomian Beach, equally famous as My Khe Beach.

This place is a complex of palace-like buildings with an Eastern aesthetic; the tallest building is only six stories high, and the overall decor is magnificent.

In the middle of the complex is a lush green lawn and a huge swimming pool.

Beyond the pool, there are rows of coconut trees and a pristine white sandy beach, complemented by a bay reflecting the blue sky, creating a serene atmosphere of clear waters and white sands.

The commercial vehicle drove through the beautiful hotel entrance and along the internal road directly to the central building, which served as the lobby.

Li Qinghe and Pham Huyen My both had their glasses perched on their heads; they would need to check in soon, and it would be inconvenient if people ignored them.

The rooms were booked in advance by Xiao Yun; instead of presidential suites, two executive suites were chosen at Pham Huyen My's request.

At first glance, it seemed she would be staying with Xiao Yun, but once at the hotel, it was clear who she would be staying with.

Li Qinghe inquired about the price of the executive suite, which was 5.9 million vietnamese dong, equivalent to just over 1,600 dragon country currency, a relatively reasonable price for a five-star hotel.

After checking in at the lobby, the lobby manager, on behalf of the hotel, extended a warm welcome to Pham Huyen My for choosing the Pullman Hotel.

Two observant porters stepped forward to take the suitcases from Xiao Yun and Li Qinghe, placing them on a luggage cart nearby.

Pham Huyen My and her group rode an electric cart driven by a porter.

Their room was on the fifth floor of a building facing the beach.

Xiao Yun had booked two adjacent executive rooms, both of which had a king-size bed and a regular single bed.

From the balcony, they could see the beautiful bay view.

Although Pham Huyen My's luggage was with Xiao Yun's, she was lying on the king-size bed in Li Qinghe's room.

"Da Nang's scenery is truly beautiful; every time I come here, I feel so relaxed. Brother Qinghe, have you been here before?"

"This is my first time here. Judging from this beach, the environment is quite good."

Li Qinghe went to the balcony for a while. A wide stretch of beach here was cordoned off by the Pullman Hotel, and several nearby hotels did the same, making it a private beach.

Dedicated staff were responsible for clearing sharp objects and trash from the beach, so what was presented to everyone was a beach with fine, white sand.

"Brother Qinghe, originally there were even better suites in a few small villas, but they were next to the hotel's swimming pool, and I thought it wouldn't be as quiet as here."

"It's fine, A Mei. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy no matter where we stay."

Li Qinghe's words were as sweet as honey.

"Brother Qinghe, I just love your shamelessness."

Pham Huyen My rolled over onto her stomach on the bed, giggling and acting like a girl her age.

"How dare you call me shameless..."

"Ah! Help, someone is bullying a beautiful young girl~~"

The two laughed and played on the king-size bed for a while, with Pham Huyen My resting her head on Li Qinghe's chest.

They had just thoroughly explored the VIP lounge's restroom before boarding the plane, so they weren't too eager at the moment. Thus, they stopped after a short playful session.

"Brother Qinghe, are you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant to eat. The brand might want to have a meeting with us this afternoon."

"Alright, let's call Xiao Yun."

Pham Huyen My sat up and straightened her clothes. Li Qinghe went next door to knock on Xiao Yun's door to call her to the restaurant.

The Pullman Hotel has two restaurants: a Vietnamese restaurant and a Western restaurant.

Pham Huyen My chose the Western restaurant, so the three of them went there for a steak dinner.

Li Qinghe ate three servings by himself, and Pham Huyen My eventually gave him her half-eaten steak as well.

Watching Li Qinghe devour the steak in a few bites, Pham Huyen My looked blissful, while Xiao Yun next to them was almost sick from all the public display of affection.

After lunch, they returned to their rooms to rest for about an hour. Sure enough, the brand gathered the models and film crew for a meeting.

Pham Huyen My arranged the shooting schedule, while Li Qinghe simply followed along as a hands-off manager.

The meeting took place in the main hall of a private villa.

This time, the shooting location was chosen to be the Pullman Hotel's beach, to avoid disturbances from other tourists.

The capital investor for this shoot was a company that had long been OEM manufacturing swimwear for Western brands.

In the current internet era, popular products like Lululemon can achieve immense growth. So, the company's shareholders deliberated and decided to launch their own swimwear brand.

To align with Vietnamese aesthetics, the brand name was "Peach." To achieve better sales through online channels, the company decided after research to invest heavily in inviting MEI, Vietnam's top internet celebrity and beautiful young girl, to shoot this advertising campaign.

As for MEI's request for a specific shooting partner, after reviewing Li Qinghe's physique data, the capital investor felt he was the best choice and signed a bundled shooting agreement.

They believed Li Qinghe was an internet celebrity signed by MEI Fashion Studio.

This phenomenon is very common in the entertainment industry; celebrities who become capital investors often bring along artists from their own companies to the projects they take on.

The afternoon meeting went very smoothly, with only one minor incident: while Pham Huyen My and Li Qinghe were trying on products, the capital investor's designer's eyes lit up, and he whispered to the capital investor's representative for a while.

Then he called Pham Huyen My aside to communicate for a bit.

Li Qinghe then learned that he had an extra day of shooting content and an additional contract worth 2 billion vietnamese dong.

It turned out that, in addition to their main women's swimwear brand "Peach," this company had also designed a men's underwear brand called "Mr. Big," modeled after CK.

Li Qinghe's exceptional height had caught the designer's attention.

After Pham Huyen My sent the contract back to the company for review and it was approved, she had Li Qinghe sign it on the spot.

Looking at the contract, which was worth a day's salary for him, Li Qinghe pursed his lips and accepted it, especially since Pham Huyen My looked so happy.

"Brother Qinghe, after tomorrow's shoot, I'll wait for you for another day in Da Nang. The day after tomorrow, we'll go visit Ba Na Hills and Linh Ung Pagoda together."

After the meeting, back in the room, Pham Huyen My happily planned the next few days. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy quality time with Li Qinghe away from Hanoi, and the girl already had dozens of plans in mind for Da Nang.

"We can also wear our glasses and go to My Khe Beach to enjoy the crowded atmosphere."

Li Qinghe's words immediately resonated with Pham Huyen My: "Yes, yes! Ever since I became an internet celebrity, I haven't been able to enjoy the freedom of being in a crowd."

Pham Huyen My hugged Li Qinghe and kissed him: "Brother Qinghe, thank you for your glasses; they helped me regain my freedom."

As the two were in a moment of sweet affection, a phone call interrupted them.

Pham Huyen My reluctantly picked up her phone, only to find it was a very important call.

Li Qinghe sat on the bed, watching Pham Huyen My's expression change from radiant to utterly depressed.

As soon as Pham Huyen My sullenly hung up the phone, he quickly hugged her and asked what was wrong.

"Brother Qinghe, I can't go sightseeing in Da Nang with you the day after tomorrow."

The mixed-race girl's voice was filled with dejection and melancholy.

It turned out that the call was from a European luxury clothing company. They had previously scheduled a fashion show in Paris for half a month later, and Pham Huyen My was one of the models for the show.

However, the call just now informed Pham Huyen My that due to a change in circumstances, the fashion show had been moved up.

This meant that after finishing the advertisement shoot tomorrow, Pham Huyen My would have to fly directly to Paris with Xiao Yun, and their planned romantic trip was canceled.

"Brother Qinghe, I'm sorry. That fashion show is very important. I'll make it up to you tonight; I'll do anything you want."

Feeling that she owed Li Qinghe, Pham Huyen My went next door to get something, then returned to the bathroom to change, which made Li Qinghe's eyes light up.

She was wearing a lace nightgown, and its form-fitting design perfectly accentuated her good figure.

Pham Huyen My's early departure from Da Nang, Li Qinghe didn't know whether to be happy or... anyway, tonight...
