Chapter 508: Slap In The Face, Regret, The Principal Came Personally (1)

Especially in the past two years, since Lu Ningsheng started to experience issues with her vocal cords, gradually reducing her concert appearances, his interest in the entertainment circle had waned even more.

But now, things were different.

Lu Ningsheng had returned to the pinnacle of her career, thanks to Si Fuqing’s assistance.

As a financial prodigy, Shen Xi even went as far as to download Weibo specifically to catch up on the latest gossip.

The interview clip posted by “Fashion Lady” at noon had been shared over ten thousand times, with comments reaching thirty thousand.

Most were mocking Si Fuqing, labeling her as someone who had slipped through nine years of education without learning anything of substance.

Shen Xi had met and conversed with Si Fuqing.

From their dialogue, he could tell she was well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge, spanning both Eastern and Western cultures.

If Si Fuqing were truly uneducated, how could she engage on an equal footing with Yu Xiheng, let alone draft a proposal for the Lin family?

Shen Xi had come to understand that the keyboard warriors, haters, and many bandwagon netizens online lacked their own judgment.

Just as Lu Ningsheng had stepped into the bathroom, the editorial department of “Fashion Lady” had called, unwittingly bumped into Shen Xi at the peak of his fury.

You wish to collaborate?

Not a chance.

Without a second thought, Shen Xi had outright refused them.

This response had left Chief Editor Li stunned in her tracks.

She was aware of Si Fuqing’s termination of her contract with Tianle Media, and Lu Ningsheng’s supportive repost at the time.

Wasn’t it because both Lu Ningsheng and Si Fuqing had participated in “Youth With You”?

Moreover, at that time, Tianle Media’s slavery contract was universally condemned online, with many stars, unfamiliar with Si Fuqing, voicing their support for her.

Chief Editor Li hadn’t anticipated the depth of the relationship between Lu Ningsheng and Si Fuqing.

Simply hearing they wouldn’t choose Si Fuqing meant she herself would withdraw as well.

“Mr. Shen, this matter was agreed upon by Queen Lu at the time,” Chief Editor

Li’s tone became rushed, ‘You can’t just make a decision for her, entertainment industry is all about integrity.”

As she finished her plea, a female voice inquired from the other end of the phone, “Shen Xi, who is it?”

“That outdated fashion magazine,” Shen Xi passed the phone to Lu Ningsheng,

“Let me help you dry your hair.”

“Oh, sure,” Lu Ningsheng sat down, “Hello?”

‘Queen Lu, we at ‘Fashion Lady’ would like to discuss the theme for our October issue with you,” Chief Editor Li humbly suggested, “We’re thinking that because your anniversary music MV of Oracle is about to be released, why don’t we go with a gaming theme.l

Lu Ningshengs smile faded, her demeanor cooling, “Didn’t my husband already give you an answer? I’m not interested. You seem capable enough, find someone else.”

Chief Editor Li panicked, “Queen Lu, but we had an agreement, how can you just…”

“Accusing me of reneging? Didn’t you also have an agreement with Qingqing? Yet, you readily replaced her,” Lu Ningsheng retorted coldly, “We haven’t signed any contract nor announced anything publicly, so a verbal agreement sets nothing in stone. Dreaming during broad daylight!”

Sweat broke out on Chief Editor Li’s spine, “Queen Lu, we can discuss this. Lin

Wansu’s team is not easy to deal with, we had no choice. What if we offer the November issue to Miss Si?”

She had hoped Lu Ningsheng’s October issue would boost “Fashion Women’s Wear” above “Graceful Beauty” in sales.

Who would have thought Lu Ningsheng would outright refuse?

“It seems you have yet to understand your position. Qingqing doesn’t need your charity. Her schedule is booked till next year,” Lu Ningsheng stated, her voice void of any emotions, “That’s all, bye.l

“Beep beep beep.”

The line went dead, leaving Chief Editor Li frozen in shock.

The editor was equally frantic, “Chief Editor Li, what do we do now?”

There were plenty of actors on par with Lu Ningsheng, but artists of such caliber were fully booked, leaving no time to find a replacement.

“Quick! Call Si Fuqing’s team!” Chief Editor Li snapped to her senses, “We’ll apologize and ask her to return.”

Chief Editor Li had a simple thought.

Si Fuqing was just starting in the entertainment industry and lacked fashion resources.

Lu Ningsheng, on the other hand, was well-established and could afford to decline.

Si Fuqing, however, needed these opportunities to climb higher.

The editor hurriedly searched for Si Fuqing’s team’s contact information and dialed the number.

The call was answered by Sang Yanqing..
