Chapter 31 Picking a fight! Provocation! A face like a beauty blender!
“Ms. Lu.” Ji Jialin glanced at Lu Wanyue expressionlessly. “You are not qualified or have the standing to question the LX brand’s decision. You haven’t passed your probationary period, that’s all.”
Any brand will have a period of evaluation before selecting an ambassador or spokesperson.
"I have no negative news, I work diligently, I promote the LX brand, how come I didn't pass the probation period?" Lu Wanyue was really angry and lost her temper. She was already speaking recklessly and losing her temper.
She just couldn't swallow this insult.
"You're the first artist to dare come to the LX headquarters to question the brand. Even top-tier celebrities like actors, actresses, and pop divas wouldn't dare question LX's decisions, let alone you," Ji Jialin said, raising her chin slightly, her tone carrying a subtle warning.
"Are you openly provoking the LX brand?"
Ji Jialin's cold words instantly brought Lu Wanyue back to her senses.
When she came to her senses, a chill ran down her spine. She stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning.
What was she doing? She came over early in the morning and yelled at Xia Mian, and she even smashed things in LX's dressing room...
LX brand is not a micro-business brand, nor is it an emerging brand, but an international brand... What have I done?
She fell to her knees at Ji Jialin's feet with a thud, as if waking from a dream.
"Director Ji, I was just blinded by anger,"
If she offends the LX brand, then no matter what level of artist she is or what height she reaches in the entertainment industry, the fashion industry will probably not tolerate her.
Moreover, she is currently only a third or fourth-tier actress, with only one representative work.
She was filled with regret, her hands trembling as she reached for Ji Jialin's clothes, her face filled with fear.
"Director Ji, I think I took the wrong medicine. I don't know why, I just impulsively ran over here."
"I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me."
Ji Jialin scrutinized Lu Wanyue with a critical eye. Her face, which was frequently tweaked, now looked like a makeup sponge when she cried.
"Excuse me, but LX is very petty. Our brand has been established for nearly a century, and we have never been humiliated or belittled by a small-time celebrity like this. Since you dare to come here and cause trouble, you should be prepared to bear the consequences."
The man raised his hand, and several staff members came over. "Ms. Lu, this way please."
"Miss Lu, please leave."
Lu Lian'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. She stared silently at Ji Jialin. Was this the aura of a director of an international brand?
He slunk out of the LX brand building with Lu Wanyue.
Lu Lian'er then took a couple of deep breaths.
"Cousin, you're so impulsive! I couldn't stop you. I tried to persuade you, but you wouldn't listen. What are we going to do now?"
Lu Wanyue glanced back at the LX building with a sinister expression before pulling Lu Lian'er into the car. "That bitch Xia Mian, it's one thing for her to bully you normally, but now she dares to shit on my head. Let's see how I deal with her!"
She pinched Lu Lian'er's cheek, started the car, and said, "Wait for me to avenge you!"
"Sister, please don't do anything foolish! We've already impulsively offended the LX brand today, and if you continue to offend Xia Mian..." Lu Lian'er said with a worried expression for Lu Wanyue. "It's not worth it."
"It's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance, but the most important thing is you, sister. In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is not to offend others easily. We don't know who Xia Mian's backer is... It's better not to act rashly."
Lu Lian'er seemed to have weighed the pros and cons, and here she gave Lu Wanyue various analyses.
"So what if she has a sugar daddy? I can't stand people with sugar daddies. Does having a sugar daddy make you so great?" Lu Wanyue got angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Who doesn't have a sugar daddy?"
"Lian'er, I'll take you home first." Lu Wanyue sped towards the Xia family's house. "I'll make Xia Mian pay! That bitch!"
"Sister, Xia Mian is despicable. She not only bullies me, but also steals your resources and makes you a laughing stock. But listen to me, you must not be too impulsive." Lu Lian'er still spoke in the tone of a good younger sister, as if she genuinely cared about Lu Wanyue.
traffic light!
Lu Wanyue slammed on the brakes, and Lu Lian'er reached out and patted her chest, coughing incessantly. After coughing several times, she finally let out a long breath and took a sip of water.
"I don't think your illness is incurable. If you hadn't saved Xia Mian from drowning back then, would you have developed this condition?" Lu Wanyue became angrier as she scolded. "And Xia Mian, she bullies you every day. Her three brothers only dote on you a little, and she gets jealous and tries to frame you."
"This little bitch, she'll be waiting for heaven to punish her in the eleventh month of the monkey's life!"
“I saved Xia Mian out of sisterly affection. Sister, let’s not talk about the past. The most important thing is that Xia Mian is cunning and has a sugar daddy, so we have to be careful.” Lu Lian’er looked pitiful.
"Don't worry, Lian'er." After Lu Wanyue dropped Lu Lian'er off at home, she turned her car around and immediately merged into the traffic.
Lu Lian'er got out of the car, grabbed her bag, and walked towards the Xia family villa. Lu Wanyue, that idiot, doesn't use her brain at all and is so impulsive.
I'm impressed!
She needs to keep an eye on things from behind, otherwise she won't be able to get Xia Mian and will only end up with a mess.
However... after today's experience, Lu Wanyue must already regard Xia Mian as a thorn in her side.
Lu Wanyue is no pushover.
The more Lu Lian'er thought about it, the better she felt, and she was no longer the pale-faced woman she had been feigning illness in the car.
...
The cover shoot and promotional materials took a whole day.
They had lunch at the LX brand's staff restaurant. Director Ji Jialin stayed by Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi's side the whole time, which showed them a lot of respect.
Ji Jialin didn't want something like what happened to Lu Wanyue to happen again.
"Miss Xia, Miss Zhao, you've worked hard today."
Ji Jialin personally escorted the two girls to the parking lot, maintaining a polite smile on her face.
"Director Ji, thank you for your hard work. When will the magazine be released?" Xia Mian asked curiously. "Will I get a sample copy?"
"Yes, both of you will receive one," Ji Jialin said with a gentle smile. "The magazine will likely be released in August. I will personally deliver it to you both then."
Xia Mian is on the first cover, while Zhao Baoqi is on the inside pages.
Not only that, there are also photos of the two of them together.
It's June now, and magazine covers are usually photographed one to two months in advance.
Zhao Baoqi drove Xia Mian back to the Fu family home.
She was in a state of high excitement all day. "You don't know, I took so many photos, some behind-the-scenes shots, some videos, there are just too many."
"Mianmian, I've created a Douyin account, a Weibo account, and a Xiaohongshu account—a complete set of accounts, and I've even applied for verification!"
"Mianmian, what about you?"
Xia Mian sat down next to her, looking at Zhao Baoqi's excited expression. As if infected by her excitement, a smile also appeared on her lips.
"I have also applied for an account and submitted it to Director Ji."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone beeped once, followed by several more beeps.
At the same time, Zhao Baoqi's phone rang.
