Chapter 435: Face Hurts, Mengxue’s Fans Losing Their Mental (2)

Translator: _Min_

The slap to the face was metaphorical, but the impact felt real.

[Here, let a bystander explain: First, the rose is RM’s trademark. Second, ‘Snow Rose’ is the name of the new series, which has nothing to do with your sister. Stop trying to aggrandize yourselves.]

[Putting Meng Xue aside, honestly, RM’s choice raises questions. Do they not understand the entertainment industry in Great Xia? Si Fuqing really doesn’t qualify; she doesn’t even have a single work to her name. How did RM make their selection?]

[Si Fuqing is impressive, becoming the global beauty ambassador. This isn’t just competing with other domestic stars; it’s a competition on the international stage. The backer behind her must be no small entity.] [How influential must one be to make RM concede? The head of RM?] To align with RM’s promotional efforts, Si Fuqing was very active on Weibo today.

[@SiFuqingV: Drawing a hundred girlfriends to give away a set of the new ‘Snow Rose’ makeup series and a signed photo.] Finally, her fans snapped out of their daze.

[WTF!!!]

[Who says Si Fuqing, my career-focused wife, has no prospects? Look, my wife, the global beauty ambassador for RM!]

[We won’t stoop to argue with some fans. Your Sister Si Fuqing isn’t playing your games. See who’s stepping on whom. Mocked yesterday, face-slapped today. Thrilled to death.]

Online, one side celebrated while the other fumed.

At this time, Meng Xue was at Daifei headquarters, having just finished filming a promotional ad.

Daifei offered her an endorsement fee of twelve million, a decent sum that she naturally accepted.

Knowing Daifei’s endorsement fee was triple Si Fuqing’s, she felt an ultimate sense of secret pleasure.

Si Fuqing, after removing her makeup, became increasingly popular, and Meng Xue did feel threatened.

But she believed Si Fuqing could only compete with her in terms of looks.

The captain was her, holding the company’s resources.

How could Si Fuqing compare?

Not to mention, Tianle Media had already paved her way in the film and TV industry, securing her a role as the fifth female lead in Tang Haiqiu’s new drama.

Si Fuqing was still doing variety shows, widening the gap between them.

Meng Xue, wearing sunglasses, exited the building but noticed her assistant’s strange expression, “What’s with that look? What happened?”

The assistant bit her lip, “Sister-Sister Meng, about RM’s spokesperson…’

“Oh, they should have announced the spokesperson today,” Meng Xue said, touching up her makeup, “I know it’s not me, but Sister Feng told me to hang in there, said it would add some heat. Who was announced? The captain of V era?”

Feng Peizhi indeed suggested playing along with the speculation.

Since many guessed it was Meng Xue, they let the rumors run.

After all, they hadn’t directly stated anything; if the public was mistaken, they couldn’t be blamed.

This morning, Feng Peizhi even received several positive gestures from other brands.

“It’s, it’s…” The assistant’s voice faded, struggling, “Si Fuqing.”

“Snap ! ”

Meng Xue broke her lipstick, her expression shifting, doubting she heard right, “What did you say?!”

“It’s really Si Fuqing.” The assistant handed over the phone, lips pursed, “RM timed their announcement with Si Fuqing’s birthday, ‘Snow Rose’ is the name of the new series.”

Meng Xue stared at Si Fuqing’s promotional video.

In terms of concept and production, it far surpassed the Daifei ad she just filmed.

It was as if she was being slapped repeatedly.

Meng Xue inhaled deeply, her lips trembling, her face pale, “Why would RM choose Si Fuqing? Have they lost their minds?”

What commercial value did Si Fuqing have to be chosen by RM?

Had RM gone insane?

The assistant looked down, mumbling, “I, I don’t know…”

Meng Xue couldn’t accept it.

Her highest title was being an ambassador for an international first-line brand, incomparable to RM.

The assistant hesitated, “Sister-Sister Meng, the internet is mocking you. What do we do now?”

Meng Xue hadn’t expected her fans to presumptuously rush to RM’s official Weibo.

Resulting in widespread ridicule.

For the first time in her career, she faced such significant negative publicity.

“Calm the fans, shift the blame. I’m the victim here, ridiculed because of them. It’s time to make them feel bad,” Meng Xue calmed down, a cold laugh escaping, “Also, that promotional line from RM was ambiguous, knowing my name has ‘snow’ in it, yet they deliberately used ‘Snow Rose’ to describe it. Isn’t that provoking me?”

The assistant, no longer persuading, began contacting Meng Xue’s major fans.

Meng Xue’s fans, still indignant, didn’t dare to confront Si Fuqing directly, so they stormed the Starry Star Girls’ Weibo.

[Value your sole center, Meng Xue! We won’t accept any resource bias! We won’t accept any event where Meng Xue is sidelined for Si Fuqing!]

[There’s a clear divide between the captain and ordinary members, pay attention!]

[Protect Meng Xue, don’t disappoint the fans!]

Tianle Media found themselves unfairly implicated.

They hadn’t even secured the RM endorsement, so how could there be uneven resource distribution?

Besides, even if they had, it wouldn’t have gone to Meng Xue.

With several national award-winning actors in their roster, they wouldn’t neglect their veterans to favor Meng Xue.

“Look what you’ve done.” Manager Luo slammed documents on Feng Peizhi’s desk, his face dark, “You said you’d handle Meng Xue’s engagements flawlessly. Look now, the whole internet is mocking. And you call yourself a top agent?” Feng Peizhi was speechless, “Manager Luo, this…”

“What about this and that? Your artist landed the RM endorsement, and you’re clueless!” Luo mocked, “If you can’t handle it, better leave!”

Feng Peizhi’s face flushed, “I also don’t understand how she got the RM endorsement. What does she have? Just a face?”

RM is a globally renowned luxury brand, previous endorsers being international celebrities.

Si Fuqing isn’t even a second- tier celebrity in Great Xia.

How could this make sense?

Hearing this, Manager Luo calmed down, “Investigate.”

If Si Fuqing had indeed gone international, they must start focusing on her, regardless of any rebellion.

“Right away, I’m on it.” Feng Peizhi apologized repeatedly, “I’ll handle this, Manager Luo.”

Elsewhere.

At RM’s Great Xia regional headquarters.

The promotional video was edited bv an instructor from Glen Film Academv,

with special effects by top movie industry professionals.

A one-minute video burned through one hundred million.

The director cautiously contacted Yu Xiheng, “Mr. Yu, Miss Sits promotional video is out. Have you seen it?”

“Yes,” Yu Xiheng was succinct, “Good.”

“Mr. Yu, you don’t know, this was also Miss Si’s idea,” the director relieved,

“She should really consider films. Her face is perfect for the big screen!”

Yu Xiheng chuckled softly, “Hmm, I’ll remember that.”

After the call, the director was in high spirits.

Then, the assistant approached with a laptop.

“How are the reactions? Miss Si’s beauty must have dominated, right?” the director inquired.

“Yes, the feedback is good, especially internationally. But some people…” The assistant showed some comments, “These netizens are saying it’s our mistake that led them to misidentify the spokesperson.”

“They’re demanding we compensate Ms. Meng Xue for defamation and issue a public apology..”
