Estelle watched helplessly as the people left, her reason telling her that this had happened because she was not cautious enough when signing the contract, leaving her no choice but to swallow this bitter pill. However, emotionally, she was infuriated by the other partyâs shameless breach of trust, so much so that her temples throbbed, and she wished she could bring them back for a good argument.
Things had escalated to this point, and the brandâs representatives had also left, leaving only the director behind. The director didnât want to get involved in the messy situation either. After trying to smooth things over awkwardly, he said helplessly to Rong Yan, âI tried to fight for you too, but the brand insisted on changing people, and I couldnât do anything about it. Just now, the brand even consulted Qin Yang, and after serious consideration, he said he couldnât spark with you either, sorry.â
Rong Yanâs assistant was fuming with anger, her face pale as she retorted, âHe says itâs not a good fit because of what just happened, trying to get even personally!â
Inappropriate, inappropriateâyet that man was just flirting with Rong Yan.
It was clear that he had intentionally kicked Rong Yan when she was down because she had just rejected his invitation to dinner.
Such a man was shameless, and it was amazing that there were still so many female fans out there who didnât know the truth.
Rong Yan was the most rational one among them, calmly pulling her angry assistant and standing up to say to Estelle, âLetâs go, Estelle.â
Estelle really couldnât accept this. She looked at Rong Yan with a mix of frustration and guilt, âIâm sorry, Yan, I didnât expect things to turn out this wayâ¦â
She had helped Rong Yan land several ads for promotions; now they were being replaced for no reason and ridiculed both overtly and covertly; she truly felt sorry for Rong Yan.
Rong Yan, on the other hand, chuckled, mimicking her manner when she got out of the car, patting her shoulder to cheer her up, âItâs nothing to be sorry for, itâs not that big a deal. If we donât shoot, we donât shoot, weâll have plenty of ads to film later. Today weâre even lucky, at least I didnât change my clothes. Thatâs the real trouble, having to give them back. Since I didnât change, letâs just pretend we came here for makeup, the kind where they give you a penalty fee, not a loss.â
Estelle knew she was comforting her, and seeing her own artist being so magnanimous, she too didnât want to be the subject of ridicule by others. She took a deep breath and turned to the director, âDirector Xi is well aware that the reason for changing people is not whether Rong Yan is suitable or not. I donât want to delve into why you want to change people. Since youâve replaced her, letâs just leave it at that. We donât have to work together anymore!â
Partners like that who casually break contracts made in good faith, better off not working together to avoid even more disgusting situations in the future.
Besides, the way they trampled on her trust and used the breach of contract fee to silence her was just nauseating. If they didnât show some backbone, others might think theyâre easy to bully!
After finishing her piece, Estelle directly said to Rong Yan, âYan, letâs go!â
âOK.â Rong Yan agreed readily and walked away with her.
No sooner had they left the shooting location and reached the parking lot than they encountered the exquisitely made-up Rong Weiwei stepping down from a nanny van.
âSister, what a coincidence.â Rong Weiweiâs smile was radiant, her delicate face seemingly harmless, her eyes uncertain as she saw Rong Yan seemed not surprised at all and approached with a smile, proactively asking, âWhy are you here? Are you shooting an ad nearby too? Iâve taken up a chocolate ad, right around here.â
