Speak Money Not Love with the Master

AC International Luxury Watches’ domestic ambassador has always been Ye Wei, plus two years of cooperation. Before the official announcement of <The Seamen>, Fan He sought them for discussing endorsement. Cooperation was pleasant and relationships were friendly. Not only was Fan He slick, the other party 100 percent looked well upon Ye Wei. And so, the discussions between both sides were harmonious and were basically nailed.

This brand of wrist watches only had one spokesperson, the Hollywood movie star and a well-known Best Actor, George Bruni. The brand had already favored Ye Wei’s temperament and the brand image, which brought out the best in each other一 high-end and dazzling.　　

To be promoted from an ambassador to a spokesperson, Ye Wei’s weight in the entertainment circle would increase yet again. 　

When the other party evaded around the topic, Fan He went straight to the point. If you have something to say, just say it. We shared two years of collaboration. If we no longer held this relationship, we should still be considered friends. Since we’re friends, then we should just speak bluntly. Why did they suddenly change their mind on already negotiated matters?

The other party could only say: Since we’re friends, it’s not that we’re falling out with her. Working with Ye Wei has been pleasant. Everyone in the company is very satisfied. However, this matter was something decided by the higher-ups. It can no longer be changed.

What the other party meant was that Weiwei had possibly offended a big person, who was able to get the higher-ups to speak directly to suspend the promotion to spokesperson. No one can help, but the cooperation would still continue. Only, they couldn’t promote her to spokesperson for the time being. 　

Wearing a heavy, thick costume, Ye Wei shot her scenes in the rain. People stood within the continuous drizzle. It was the match scene between the first male and female leads.

Xiao Qiao propped up the patio umbrella and stood on the outside waiting for her to get off the scene.　

This scene wasn’t good. Take two. Xiao Qiao waved at her. Ye Wei shook her head, signaling for her to say it later. Once the scene was successful, half an hour had already passed.　

“Fan Jie is looking for you. It’s very urgent.”

Ye Wei took the phone Xiao Qiao handed over, as the assistant helped her carefully wipe the droplets on her face. “Don’t wipe it, I will reapply makeup later,” she said and strode inside. She closed the door to the lounge.

Fan He spoke briefly on the phone and asked her, “Who have you offended recently?”　　　　

Ye Wei looked dumbfounded, “I plunged head-first into the crew, how could I offend anyone? Could it be Yuan Lu? I saw her the first day in the crew. Maybe it’s Kang Ze?”　

“It can’t be Kang Ze. Their relationship is not that close.”

Ye Wei couldn’t figure it out. She was always cautious with her words and deeds. If she offended someone, was it accidentally?”　　

“Don’t tell me it’s Xu Zhi’ang? I can only think of him.”　

“Did you offend him?”　

“I didn’t, but you could say I might have offended him. After the hot search incident, I didn’t answer his calls. A few days ago, he even called again.”

Right after Fan He heard this: this was probably 80/100 Xu Zhi’ang’s doing. She was so angry that she pounded the top of the table, making a clanking sound. “Even if I told you to not suck up to him, you can’t just offend him. These big masters are able to pull strings in secret. Seriously you… you’re about to drive me nuts. It’s been half a month. Your big sister here has such a good temper.”

“I’m also just guessing. Don’t keep scolding me. This matter may not have anything to do with him.”

“I will ask again.” 　

Fan He hung up. Ye Wei held her forehead. The water droplets on her shoulders had not yet been wiped off. At this time, although it had already penetrated through the clothes, she did not care. Xiao Qiao came in, helped her take off her coat, and take it outside for people to dry. 　

After a while, Fan He called, “Although it isn’t Xu Zhi’ang for sure, according to the people over on that side, it is certain that the cause of it was you offending some hard-to-please Master.”　

“Call Xu Zhi’ang right now.”

“You want me to apologize?”

“Be gentle and give a smiley face. All young masters are hard to please. One must always be better than the other. Your call will signify an apology. Then, the issue will be over with.”　

“I won’t.” Ye Wei’s temper also got up. These past several days, she’s been tired to death. If Xu Zhi’ang wants to play, don’t search for her, “I’ll just think of it as having dumped a troublesome person.”

“Ye Wei, hurry and make the phone call. It’s been two years, and you’re finally going to obtain the endorsement of international luxury watches. Why think about other stuff? Money. Think about the money. Think about the fame. Think about your position in the entertainment circle… What’s more powerful than money? Is your brain broken?”　

“Hurry up, or else I’ll go over there right now and throttle you.”　　

Ye Wei’s mouth twitched, “Alright alright, spare this little one’s life.”　

She coaxed Fan He with her mouth, but did not make the call. 　

In a forum the next day, a post had appeared.　

#Ye Wei and AC have parted ways. The discussed position of spokesperson has flown away# Before long, the post had been pasted with over a few hundred comments. It was so obvious that people were paid to post these messages. Everyone was criticizing Ye Wei. It was only one spokesperson position, but it was like she was being kicked out of the entertainment industry instead.

The fashion and entertainment circles were closely related nowadays. If one side becomes pessimistic, the resources obtained from the other sidewill also become oppressed.　　　　　

After Yu Qiao saw this, she got so angry and bawled it out with the people in the post. 　　　　

Ye Wei heard the person besides her fuming and humphing with rage. She looked away from the script, “What are you doing?”

“Swearing at people.”

“With just your language talent, you can swear?”　

“I can still copy and paste.”　　

Ye Wei jumped from one end of the couch to Yu Qiao. Yu Qiao wanted to hide it away from her view, “Am I the one they’re criticizing?” 　

She snatched the phone. On it were posts one after another dissing that she got dumped by her rich backer. The endorsement had flown away. The fashion circle had withdrawn. Simply put, there wasn’t anything you can’t think of that they couldn’t hack into. 　

She logged out of the forum and threw her phone aside, “You’re so stupid.”　　

”Sis, what are you getting angry at me for?”　　

“By swearing at a bunch of hired commenters, could it be that you expected me to praise you for being the brave warrior?” 　

“They’re speaking badly about you. I’m mad.”　

”What are you angry for? Hey, don’t you want to eat strawberry mousse cake? One piece for each of us.”　

Yu Qiao pouted, “Aren’t you on a diet? You didn’t eat yesterday night.”　

“What weight am I going to lose? I’m about to get kicked from the entertainment industry.” Ye Wei was not the least bit affected. She laughed as she held her phone and sent a red envelope containing 100 yuan, “It can buy three pieces. Bring one for Jiang Ge.” 　

“Sis, Mr. Jiang doesn’t eat sweets.” Yu Qiao really couldn’t figure out Ye Wei. Was she really not angry? So many people were criticizing her, and even the matter about the spokesperson position was getting set aside.
