âHello, Miss Si,â greeted the RM Great Xia regional director over the phone. âI have something to ask you, if itâs convenient.â
âItâs convenient,â Si Fuqing replied, rising and signaling Ning Luoyao with a gesture as she moved to a secluded spot near some shrubs. âGo ahead.â
âThe situation is this: before Mr. Yu recommended you, RM had been in contact with several stars for the Great Xia regionâs cosmetics line,â explained the director. âTheir roles would be different from your global endorsement.â
Si Fuqing nodded in understanding. âIâm aware of that.â
Her boss was truly generous when he wanted to be.
âOne of the previous candidates expressed interest in becoming our brand ambassador,â the director inquired. âHeâs also from the Great Xia region, named Xu Jiannian. Do you know him? Is he a friend of yours? If so, we could consider offering him a position as a brand ambassador for our apparel line.â Si Fuqingâs eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
Through the bushes, she spotted Xu Jiannian sitting next to her former seat, his smile flawless and deceptive.
âHeâs not,â Si Fuqing clicked her tongue. âIf you need my opinion, I can recommend a few people with a better image.â
âPlease do, Miss Si,â urged the director.
âI have a student named Xie Yu, currently studying at Glenn. Heâs in need of a luxury brand endorsement,â Si Fuqing suggested. âAnd a friend, Jiang Changning. Sheâs in a girl group with me. Both of them have excellent images that I believe fit your brandâs criteria.â
âExcellent!â agreed the director instantly. âIf theyâre recommended by you, Miss Si, thereâs no doubt. Iâll have someone contact them right away.â
After ending the call, Si Fuqing sent a message to Xie Yu.
[Got you a job.]
[Xie Yu]: ?
[Xie Yu]: Thanks, big brother.
She returned to the campfire, deliberately ignoring Xu Jiannian.
âQingqing, is something wrong?â asked Ning Luoyao. âDo you need help?â
âItâs nothing,â Si Fuqing replied nonchalantly. âDid the assistant director reveal what tomorrowâs challenges are?â
âNo,â Ning Luoyao lowered her voice. âBut prepare yourself, Qingqing. I overheard the director passionately telling someone that if he doesnât trap you, heâll write his name backward.â
Originally, there was an acting challenge planned for tomorrow.
The director had been ready to target Si Fuqing.
But a phone call from Tang Haiqiu had dimmed his enthusiasm.
âDonât worry,â Si Fuqing reassured confidently, not knowing the meaning of modesty. âAs long as I donât have to cook, I can handle anything.â
Xu Jiannian chuckled, âMiss Si is really cute.â
Finally turning to him, Si Fuqing smiled distantly, âTeacher Xu, I should remind you not to harbor any other intentions.â
Xu Jiannianâs smile remained unchanged. âSo Miss Si also noticed my pursuit?â
Without cameras around, he spoke more openly.
There were plenty of female stars pursing him.
He was confident in his appearance and appeal.
Si Fuqing was strong-willed, but in his eyes, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl with little experience and easy to manipulate.
Ning Luoyaoâs eyes widened in shock.
Xu Jiannian, a top male celebrity at the peak of his career, wouldnât risk his future for a romance.
âOh?â Si Fuqing propped her head, unimpressed. âIâm vaccinated against rabies, so Iâm not afraid of you.â
Xu Jiannianâs smile slightly faded.
Nearby, Qi Shuning also overheard and pursed her lips thoughtfully.
Xu Jiannianâs fanbase was predominantly female.
If this news spread, Si Fuqing might face backlash. She pondered her next move.
Xu Jiannian faced constant rejection that night.
Returning to his tent exhausted, he realized Si Fuqing wasnât as gullible as he had thought.
He needed a different approach.
Sitting down, Xu Jiannian asked his agent, âAny update?â
âThey called back, â the manager shook his head. âThey said they consulted the spokesperson, who doesnât know us and recommended someone else.â
âIt seems weâre completely out of luck,â sighed Xu Jiannian. âRM is a Western Continent brand, after all. They probably chose their global ambassador from Glenn.â
The manager nodded in agreement.
Only a top actor or actress from Glenn could persuade RM to commit to such a significant global endorsement.
Despite being a top celebrity in domestic entertainment, Xu Jiannian was virtually unknown internationally..
