Chapter 276 - So Youre Ah Sha Too! (2/2)

Incidentally, that was also the reason for Tang Yue’s lack of panic when she had seen Mei Jing waiting here just now. Discarding the eight commercials to be assigned to the endorser, there would be two commercials left, which made sense; she and Mei Jing would each be assigned to one.

“Well. It’s probably impossible for you to be chosen as the endorser. But you’ll definitely get to star in a commercial.” Tang Yue stared at Ah Sha. “Did Senior Wan tell you whom Xin Enterprises’ had chosen to be their endorser?”

Ah Sha returned Tang Yue’s stare with blinking eyes. “Sister Tang Yue, you and the boss were once classmates, right?”

“That’s right!” Tang Yue laughed. “We’re both graduates of Caesar Academy. You must’ve heard of the academy, right? Even if you grew up overseas.”

Ah Sha nodded enthusiastically. “Of course. It’s a prestigious school!”

All of a sudden, Tang Yue’s eyes shone brightly. She cleared her throat and said, “Yeah. Senior Wan is like a legend back at the academy. He was the student council president for three terms in a row! A lot of girls would’ve pursued him if it weren’t for his childhood sweetheart who had always stayed by his side.”

“A childhood sweetheart?” Ah Sha chuckled. “How come we never saw her?”

“Do you still remember what I said while we were recording the TV show? I said that if she hadn’t left, the title of Commercial Queen would never have been given to me. Well, I was referring to Senior Wan’s lover.” Tang Yue stared into Ah Sha’s eyes. “The girl had starred in various commercials since she was just a kid. Even now, Caesar Academy still keeps some of the posters featuring her. After that, she went overseas to further her studies. But I heard that she’s coming back next year. And when she does return…”

All of a sudden, Tang Yue reached out and patted Ah Sha’s hand. “You don’t have to worry. If Senior Wan truly likes you, your position won’t change even after Ah Sha returns.”

“Ah Sha?”

“Oh, that’s the girl’s nickname,” Tang Yue clarified. Then, she injected a tone of pride into her next words. “Her full name is Ying Xin. She’s the only daughter of the president of Xin Enterprises!” From Tang Yue’s tone, one would think that she was actually related to Ying Xin or something.

Mei Jing covered her mouth the moment Tang Yue stopped speaking. “But my nickname is Ah Sha, too!”

“What? You’re Ah Sha too?” Tang Yue looked at her in shock. A moment later, Tang Yue looked as if she just had a realization. She gave Ah Sha a pursed lip smile. “I didn’t know how important it is to have a good name until now!”

“No wonder Wan Qingsi even gave you a second glance,” Tang Yue thought. “Your name just reminded him of the girl he loves and he’s just looking for a subject to project his feelings onto.” At the thought, Tang Yue was once again hit by a wave of jealousy. “Do you really love her so much that you would look at a woman just because she has the same name?”

Ah Sha just sat there with a befuddled look on her face. She even nodded and said, “Mmhm, no wonder President Wan comes to pick me up every day and treats me to meals! So it’s because I have the same nickname as his lover!”

“What lover? Don’t talk nonsense. She’s just…” Tang Yue blurted out before she trailed off, suddenly realizing that she had lost her cool. Tang Yue quickly schooled her features and said, “Let’s not talk about the senior. It won’t be nice for others to overhear us.”

Ah Sha nodded her head repeatedly. A devious glint flashed inside her eyes. “Oh, you’ll be crying in a while.”

When Zhou Na entered the room with a huge grin on her face, she was met with two faces: Tang Yue’s, which was filled with smugness; and Mei Jing’s, which was filled with ignorance. Then again, Zhou Na was already used to Mei Jing’s play-the-weak-girl-until-I-swallow-you-whole ruse by now. Moments later, Li Pingping walked in from behind Zhou Na, though her face did not seem happy at all.

“Ah Sha!” Zhou Na handed a folder to Ah Sha happily. “Xin Enterprises had chosen you to become their endorser! These documents contain the details of the commercials as well as other specific requirements. Please go through them as soon as possible. The filming will start next week!”

Tang Yue’s face changed instantly, and she quickly looked towards Li Pingping. Li Pingping nodded and revealed a stiff smile on her face. “You’ll be starring in two commercials!” Li Pingping told Tang Yue. “That’s pretty good!”

“Ah! Weren’t you supposed to star in only one, Sister Tang Yue? Now you’ll be starring in two!” Ah Sha clapped her hands and beamed at Tang Yue. “What I got isn’t too bad either! I can’t believe they actually picked me as the endorser!”

Tang Yue’s rage had nearly twisted her mouth out of shape. Now, she was d*mn sure that Mei Jing had made that comment on purpose. How dare she feign that harmless look in order to fool everyone?

“Sister Ping, I’m not feeling too well. I’m heading home first.” Tang Yue stood up. Li Pingping quickly handed a stack of folders to Tang Yue. “Remember to go through them,” Li Pingping said. A moment later, something else occurred to Li Pingping and she added, “By the way, one of the commercials seems pretty nice. You’ll be doing it with Chu Yi!”

Tang Yue’s face showed no reaction to that revelation. So what if she starred in a commercial with the king of acting himself. Mei Jing was the frigging endorser. The endorser!

Once Tang Yue and Li Pingping had left, Zhou Na shut the door and gave Ah Sha several reminders. “There’s another sheet of paper inside the folder,” Zhou Na said. “It contains a list of things that you shouldn’t do during your time as Xin Enterprises’ endorser. I’ve already written down everything clearly. Please remember to read through them. Also, please don’t run around for the time being and please don’t start any negative scandals.”

“Thank you. I appreciate you effort, and I’ll definitely go through them,” Ah Sha said, standing up. “Also, I only have one scandal at the moment, the one involving our boss. Does that count as a negative scandal too?”

“Oh, no. Not at all,” Zhou Na said, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry at Ah Sha’s reaction.

Xunxun had a work-related dinner that night, so Ah Sha went back to Ying’s residence. Plus, Xiao Rui would bring Wangwang home tonight, oh, and Chengcheng as well. She hadn’t seen any of them despite having been back for so long!

“Sis!” The four-year-old Chengcheng was the first one to pounce on her. “You’re terrible, sis! You never came home even when you’ve been back in China for so long!”

Ah Sha picked up her youngest brother and planted a kiss on his face. “Didn’t daddy often order you to stay at the academy? It’s not like I can keep showing up here to play the third wheel, right?”

“Ugh. Daddy is the worst.” Despite his youth, Chengcheng already understood his daddy’s strong aversion to their monopolizing their mommy’s time.

A teenager walked over. He was tall and skinny, with a face which looked colder than even Xunxun’s and profound eyes that were capable of piercing through infinite depths.

“Xiao Rui!” Ah Sha yelled.
