Chapter 91: Don ‘t You Know Why We Chose Si Fuqing? (2)

“Fine, I won’t blame you this time,” Feng Peizhi huffed. “Who would’ve thought that this good-for-nothing would have such a beautiful face? If I’d known earlier, I would’ve had her remove her makeup a long time ago.”
Two years ago, when the Zuo family sent Si Fuqing to Tianle Media’s training camp, they had specifically instructed not to let her remove her makeup.
Feng Peizhi hadn’t taken it seriously at the time, assuming that Si Fuqing must be too ugly to show her real face.
Even the entertainment industry has roles for less attractive individuals.
Having one in the Star Girls group might actually attract public attention.
Indeed, this proved to be the case.
Si Fuqing was useful, and Feng Peizhi was happy to keep her as a contrast to Meng Xue.
But now, with a face like Si Fuqing’s, how could she continue to be vilified as before?
Before Feng Peizhi could even sort out her thoughts, another wave of phone calls came in, one after another.
“Hello, is Miss Si Fuqing available for a lipstick endorsement? We can negotiate…”
“We’d like to invite Miss Si to participate in a dating reality show. Does she have availability?”
“We think Miss Si’s image is a perfect fit for our product. We’d like to invite her to be a spokesperson. The price is negotiable!”
“Hello…
After finally getting through all the calls, Feng Peizhi took a deep breath, her fingers trembling with excitement.
Even when Meng Xue returned to the country, she hadn’t received this many offers.
Among these were several excellent projects.
If she could transfer them to Meng Xue, that would be even better.
Feng Peizhi calmed herself and dialed Si Fuqing’s number. “Listen, you’re in luck. I’ve lined up several endorsements and reality shows for you, but there’s one condition, you have to—”
“Beep, beep, beep.”
All that remained was the cold mechanical tone of the call ending.
When Feng Peizhi realized what had happened, her face turned ashen.
She had been blocked again!
Here she was, trying to arrange projects for Si Fuqing, and Si Fuqing had the audacity to block her.
If Si Fuqing were half as easy to manage as Meng Xue, she wouldn’t have to hover over her all the time.
Si Fuqing only ever seemed to irritate her, nothing like how Meng Xue always seemed to know just how to please her.
“Fine!” Feng Peizhi’s anger turned into a bitter laugh. “From now on, I won’t bother with her affairs. Let’s see how far she gets in the entertainment industry.”
A beautiful face is always a double-edged sword.
Now that Si Fuqing’s real face had been revealed, who knows how many powerful men had set their sights on her, waiting to bring her into their lives— in the most compromising of ways.
“Miss Feng,” the assistant cautiously spoke up, “Miss Meng is asking for you.”
“Coming, ” Feng Peizhi’s attention was immediately diverted, her face brightening into a smile. “Tell Meng Meng not to worry, I’ll be right there.”
Inside Linjiang Pavilion.
After Si Fuqing blocked Feng Peizhi’s third phone number, she was finally losing her patience.
Fortunately, the talent show would be over in less than two months.
Then she could go back to her “salted fish” life, basking in the sun every day.
Just as Si Fuqing picked up a can of coke from the table, her phone rang again.
She hesitated for a moment but answered, “Get to the point. Wasting words and I’ll give you a beating.”
The assistant director on the other end of the line: ‘
Wow, this young lady looked so pretty; who would have thought she’d have such a fiery temper?
A mistake on his part; he should have let the director make this call.
“Ahem…” The assistant director cleared his throat, “Miss Si, sorry for the participate in—”
Si Fuqing cut him off, icy as ever: “No time, not interested.”
The assistant director was speechless.
Why was she not playing by the rules?
He began to ponder, was the golden label of Great Xia TV not compelling enough?
Stalling for a moment, the assistant director suddenly burst into tears, “Miss Si, have some pity on me. I’ve lost all my hair this past month because the director pulled it out for not finding the right candidate.”
“I finally found you and even got the director’s approval. Please agree! ”
Si Fuqing nearly dropped her phone, holding it a bit farther from her ear.
The assistant director’s cries, however, were as loud as a banshee’s wails. The private room was quiet to begin with, and now his sobbing echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.
Yu Xiheng put down his tea cup, subtly arching an eyebrow.
Yu Tang shouted, “Qingqing, you’ve even made him cry! You’re so bad!”
Si Fuqing:
She hadn’t even played her trump card yet.
Enduring her annoyance, she asked, “When is it?”
The assistant director perked up, “In May, we can sign the contract right now!” “May?” Si Fuqing drawled, “Afraid I can’t. At that time, my show won’t have ended yet..”
