29: Invitation from a big internet celebrity

"A-He, what a coincidence, I was just about to contact you."

The woman also poked her head out of the car window to greet him.

Li Qinghe looked at the space around him, crowded by other motorcycles, and helplessly turned around to wave: "Good evening, Xiang Cao."

The woman in the driver's seat was none other than the female fitness coach from California Gym.

He keenly noticed a girl sitting in Xiang Cao's passenger seat; from the fleeting glimpse of the nearby car lights, she looked quite pretty.

Just as the two were about to speak, the surrounding motorcycles roared to life, as the red light had turned green.

Li Qinghe had no choice but to wave again, twist the throttle, and follow the motorcycle army forward.

After driving a few dozen meters, he saw Xiang Cao's car catch up from behind, and she pointed to the side of the road ahead.

Li Qinghe sped up, slowly moving to a less crowded spot by the roadside within the traffic.

Soon after, Xiang Cao's car also pulled up behind him, hazards flashing.

"A-He, why haven't I seen you at the gym these past few days?"

Xiang Cao got out of her car and came over to Li Qinghe, lightly punching him on the shoulder; the fitness coach was very informal.

"I've been busy with things these past few days, also shooting different content."

Li Qinghe explained with a smile, unsure why Xiang Cao had stopped him.

"I have good news for you, hurry and thank me!" Xiang Cao smiled brilliantly.

"Good news? Are you going to introduce me to a girlfriend?" Li Qinghe also laughed.

Xiang Cao smiled without answering, merely waving towards the car.

A beautiful young woman then stepped out of the passenger seat.

A brown, form-fitting, collared short T-shirt and a pair of brown wide-leg pants perfectly accentuated the young woman's curvaceous figure.

An exotic face was very charming under the lights.

Pham Huyen My

"Let me introduce you, this is Pham Huyen My, and this is Li Qinghe." Xiang Cao introduced the two.

Then, with a smile, she patted Li Qinghe's shoulder and told him: "Mei is a Vietnamese-Australian mixed-blood, you know! She's a big internet celebrity."

Turning her head, she then told Pham Huyen My: "A-He is that handsome guy who deadlifts 500KG and, without equipment, entered the 1000KG power club. Among the people I know, those handsomer than him aren't as strong as him, and those stronger than him... well, it seems no one is stronger than him."

"Brother-in-law, Brother He, good evening, I'm Mei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Pham Huyen My spoke fluent Vietnamese and politely stepped forward to shake Li Qinghe's hand.

"Brother-in-law, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

"Ah, it's like this, A-He, we have something important to talk to you about. Why don't we find a coffee shop to sit down and chat?"

Xiang Cao suggested.

Li Qinghe checked the time; it was only 10:10, still early before he had to pick up A Ying, so he agreed.

Xiang Cao indicated there was a good coffee shop not far ahead and asked Li Qinghe to follow her on his motorcycle.

Five minutes later.

The three sat in a coffee shop decorated like a jungle. In front of Li Qinghe was a cup of coconut milk coffee, which Xiang Cao had specifically recommended, saying it was very popular in Saigon, Vietnam.

The coconut milk coffee made at this shop was particularly authentic, and she highly recommended Li Qinghe try it.

Xiang Cao and Pham Huyen My also had the same coffee in front of them.

Listening to the melodious piano music in the coffee shop, Li Qinghe picked up his coffee and took a sip. The rich coconut milk was intertwined with the mellow coffee flavor, and the taste was smooth and sweet. It was indeed delicious.

He was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Xiang Cao and her cousin to explain their purpose.

"A-He, it's like this, Mei is my cousin, and she is currently..."

As the link between the two, Xiang Cao explained their reason for seeking Li Qinghe.

Only now did Li Qinghe learn that Xiang Cao's full name was Chen Fanxiangcao, and Pham Huyen My was Xiang Cao's cousin. Her father was Australian, and her mother was Xiang Cao's aunt.

Pham Huyen My grew up in Vietnam, and is a sophomore studying Business Administration at Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City. Due to her outstanding mixed-race looks, she started modeling and being an internet celebrity quite early.

Now, she has even taken a leave of absence from school to fully dedicate herself to her online career, with over 5 million followers across all platforms, mainly concentrated on YouTube and TT, with over 3 million followers on TT alone.

When Li Qinghe heard that Pham Huyen My had over 3 million followers, he immediately held her in high regard. If he had over 6 million followers, he could easily earn nearly two small targets in dragon country currency per month.

This further convinced Li Qinghe that unique beauties were a crucial factor in gaining followers.

As a well-known internet celebrity, Pham Huyen My also received favor from many businesses, with numerous products seeking her to shoot advertisements and promote their brands.

Recently, a Vietnamese sports drink company approached her, hoping to shoot a commercial. The filming location was Hanoi, which was why she was in Hanoi.

However, the client requested that the commercial feature a male character who looked quite handsome, had a physique that wasn't overly exaggerated, but possessed terrifyingly strong power.

More importantly, the client did not want to use special effects for an overly flamboyant result; a realistic approach was preferred.

The production crew looked for several fitness internet celebrities, athletes, and male models, but either their physiques were too exaggerated, their strength wasn't strong enough, or they weren't handsome enough to match Pham Huyen My's looks and figure.

They filmed several takes with different people, but the client kept shaking his head.

Finally, with the client's approval, the entire production crew mobilized their connections to find a suitable candidate.

Pham Huyen My remembered that her cousin was a fitness coach at a famous high-end gym in Hanoi, so she sought out Xiang Cao that evening.

As soon as she explained the requirements, Xiang Cao immediately thought of Li Qinghe. She had originally planned to text Li Qinghe that night and arrange to meet him the next day.

Unexpectedly, while driving Pham Huyen My home, Xiang Cao excitedly spotted Li Qinghe riding his motorcycle ahead.

He happened to stop at a red light not far in front of her car.

Xiang Cao then excitedly reached out to greet him, and they successfully met.

While Xiang Cao was explaining the situation, Pham Huyen My looked Li Qinghe up and down with her beautiful big eyes.

After taking off his motorcycle helmet, Li Qinghe indeed looked very handsome, especially his height of over 1.8 meters; his long legs, even when seated, appeared slender and powerful.

His broad T-shirt concealed his physique, but he didn't appear overly muscular, just a bit more robust than the average person.

After Xiang Cao clearly explained their purpose to Li Qinghe, she patted Pham Huyen My, who was still scrutinizing Li Qinghe: "Mei, don't let his loose T-shirt fool you into thinking he's not very strong; his muscles are actually exceptionally beautiful."

"A-He, show Mei the video you shot last time."

Xiang Cao was confident. In all her years in the fitness circle, she had only seen one person with Li Qinghe's physique and abnormal strength, and he was Asian.

Li Qinghe thought for a moment, then directly opened the power challenge video uploaded to YouTube and showed it to Pham Huyen My.

Pham Huyen My watched Li Qinghe's distinct muscular lines and exaggerated strength in the video, and couldn't help but swallow.

Especially the scene of him deadlifting 500 kilograms, where the barbell itself was bent; the oppressive feeling of that strength practically surged from the screen.

"A-He, your conditions are excellent. I will submit your information to the director tonight. Our filming location is in Ba Dinh District. Would it be convenient for you to meet tomorrow morning?"

After the video ended, Pham Huyen My looked up at Li Qinghe to ask for his opinion.

Although this girl was very popular, her attitude was quite humble, without any arrogance, which showed she had a good upbringing.

"After 10 AM tomorrow morning is fine." Li Qinghe gave a time.

He would probably chat quite late with A Ying tonight, as A Ying tended to be very engrossed in conversation.

So, Li Qinghe needed to set aside some time.
