Chapter 1 The Snatched Endorsement
After rehearsal, Sister Li handed me water. "The new endorsement got snatched."
My movement paused. At my current status, nobody dared snatch my endorsements anymore.
A nameless panic rose in me.
Sister Li sighed. "The full-line perfume spokesperson went to Shen Xinrui."
Shen Xinrui debuted on fan voting. Her singing relied on post-production correction. What professional qualifications did she have to grab an endorsement from me?
No. I gripped the cup. Sourness rushed up my throat and the tip of my nose. I asked, "Xiao Yuan snatched it?"
Sister Li nodded.
After debut, Shen Xinrui signed with Xiao Yuan's Haohai Media. Same company as me.
The only one qualified to snatch it was the person at the very top of the company.
Sister Li added, "The brand said they can give us the makeup line."
"Handing scraps to a beggar," I said, flat. "A big brand acting like this. Aren't they ashamed."
"Xu Zhiyi, I have to get an explanation for this."
Sister Li held my hand. "What Shen Xinrui's team did is slapping your face in the open."
Shen Xinrui was Xiao Yuan's first love. When they were young it was loud and dramatic, then it ended miserably because the gap between their families was too big.
And Xiao Yuan was my fiancé now.
He was also the man I had liked for years.
After I came back, I had been Xiao Yuan's Simp so openly that everyone knew.
At the peak of my career I brought my team and signed with Haohai. The commercial value I created for the company was there for anyone to see.
Sister Li looked afraid I would swallow it because of Xiao Yuan.
I smiled at my own expense. "I'm not that cheap yet."
Sister Li tapped the center of my brow. "Watch how you talk!"
"I'll take this," I said. "I'll ask Xiao Yuan myself."
