  In the whole entertainment industry, no female star was suitable for the theme of Magic Butterfly. The only one she thought suitable was Tang Xi, whose picture she once saw in a magazine—she was really a princess living in a castle.

  But she knew it was impossible because if Tang Xi wanted something, she only needed to beckon her finger and the international top luxury brands would line up to offer their products.

  To her surprise, however, her brother had happily given her a call yesterday afternoon, telling her that he had found a beautiful princess who was perfectly suitable for Magic Butterfly’s theme and that she had agreed to cooperate with him.

  With this thought in mind, He Wanyi arrived in front of Xiao Jinning. The He Family was also a powerful family in City A and was comparable to the Xiao Family, so Xiao Jinning didn’t want to offend He Wanyi. Seeing He Wanyi stand in front of her, she smiled gently and gave a greeting, “Wanyi, what’s up?”


  He Wanyi felt sick to see her act like this, but the education she received prevented her from flinging out harsh words at Xiao Jinning. She smiled and said, “I just heard your agent talking to someone about your getting the endorsement of the Magic Butterfly?”


  A touch of pride flickered across Xiao Jinning’s eyes upon hearing He Wanyi’s question, but she replied modestly, “I must thank your brother, President He. If it hadn’t for him, I would not have been able to get this endorsement. After all, he didn’t give the endorsement even to you.”


  Aware that Xiao Jinning was indirectly ridiculing her that she was not as good as her, He Wanyi sneered in her heart and said mildly, “Really? Why did I hear my brother say he was not satisfied with you? He said you didn’t fit the theme of their perfume, and that he wanted to replace you with someone else. Did I hear him wrong?”


  He Wanyi was so loud that almost everyone on the set heard her, and they were dumbfounded. Only Sister Wanyi dared to speak to Xiao Jinning like this.

  Xiao Jinning scowled at He Wanyi’s words, but she realized that there were countless eyes looking at them and so lowered her voice, asking, “He Wanyi, what do you mean? I’ve signed the contract. Does your brother want to break the contract? Even if your brother wants to, will OLS agree?”


  He Wanyi smiled coldly and said, “So what? The shooting hasn’t started and the liquidated damages are only half a million Yuan. Do you think my brother will use someone he’s not satisfied with?”


  In reality, He Wanning had a very high status in the advertising industry. In particular, he was highly sensitive to talents. Every time he shot a TV commercial, the product would become a bestseller, and even the actor or actress doing the TV commercial would become very popular. Some actors or actresses were obscure before acting in his works, but gained much popularity afterwards. Those actresses from before envied Xiao Jinning getting this endorsement because firstly, that was a TV commercial of OLS Company, and more importantly, He Wanning would be its director!

  Xiao Jinning sneered, “Are you jealous? That your brother chose me instead of you as endorser?”


  He Wanyi laughed with disdain. “Jealous?” She glanced at Xiao Jinning. “Do you think you deserve it?”


  With that said, she was about to walk away, but Yao Na’s cell phone rang just then. She took a look at its screen only to find it was her brother’s phone number. She smiled and her eyes were filled with contempt as she said, “You see, speak of the devil. I hope you can still be so confident after hearing the news. I have an interview. I have to go. I’ll be waiting for your good news.” He Wanyi then smiled and continued, “Oh, I forgot. You always like playing innocent in the media. Perhaps I can enjoy how you play magnanimous soon.”


  Following that, He Wanyi strode towards the door of the studio. She rarely cared for the affairs of others and usually only minded her own business. She didn’t know why she came to make fun of Xiao Jinning today. Having walked a few steps away, He Wanyi scolded herself inwardly, “He Wanyi, are you crazy?”


  Why did she bother to quarrel with a person like Xiao Jinning? She was literally degrading herself by doing this.

  Yao Na picked up the phone. A moment later, her face darkened and she walked outside while holding the phone. She shouted angrily, “President He, didn’t we agree when we signed the contract that you’ll use Jinning as the endorser? Now Jinning has rejected several endorsements for yours. If you break the agreement, who will be liable for our losses?”


  “When Xiao Jinning signed with us, she demanded to start the shooting in three months, but we want to launch the product ahead of time, and we have to finish the TV commercial this month, so we decided to change the endorser. Miss Yao, please understand us.”


  “Understand you?” Yao Na sneered. “Then who will understand us? We’ve announced that Jinning will be the endorser of Magic Butterfly. President He, your actions truly embarrass us!”


  “Miss Yao, we’ve signed a non-disclosure agreement. Before we held the press conference, you were not to leak the information that Miss Xiao was going to be OLS’ advertisement endorser. But what did you do? Since you’ve breached the contract, we have the right not to use Miss Xiao Jinning as our endorser.”


  Yao Na didn’t expect that He Wanning would use this excuse. She said coldly, “You’re going to hold a press conference soon. What’s the difference between us speaking of it and you announcing it in the press conference? President He, I hope you won’t give us this lame excuse!”


  “This is not an excuse!” He Wanning’s tone became cold and serious, and he sounded completely different from what he was like when he met Tang Xi the other day. “I am just telling you the result. You can come to terminate the contract or wait for the court summons. I think you know if an actress loses credit, no company will cooperate with her. I hope Miss Yao will think it over.”


  “Wait a minute!” Knowing she couldn’t change anything, Yao Na said with final hope, “While I am Xiao Jinning’s agent, I don’t manage her contract. All her endorsement contracts are managed by President Lin. Please call President Lin.”


  He Wanning said he knew and then hung up.

  Yao Na looked indignant, and she was very upset. Xiao Jinning was very angry today due to Xiao Rou’s matter. Would she become even angrier if she knew she had lost the endorsement of the Magic Butterfly Perfume Series?

  Just as she feared, when Xiao Jinning found Yao Na looking angry, she got up and followed her out. Having overheard Yao Na talking on the phone, she walked up to her and asked coldly, “What happened?”


  Yao Na hesitated before speaking. “It seems that He Wanyi’s words were true. He Wanning might change the endorser. Maybe he wants to give this endorsement to his sister, He Wanyi. I have asked him to contact President Lin. She should have a way to solve this.”
