Chapter 509: Slap In The Face, Regret, The Principal Came Personally (2)

Before Chief Editor Li could utter a word, the call was disconnected.

She slumped into her chair, a cold sweat breaking out.

No wonder Sang Yan qing had been silent; she had been waiting for this moment.

Had she known the relationship between Lu Ningsheng and Si Fuqing was more than a fleeting encounter, she would never have agreed to Lin Wansu’s team.

Now, it was too late.

Meanwhile,

Sang Yanqing had received the preliminary makeup photos from Tang Qiao.

She selected a few and handed them over to the new media promotion team to post on the studio’s Weibo account. [@SiFuqingStudioV: Guess what this is about?]

It was a nine-grid photo array.

Si Fuqing, dressed in a vintage blue cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella, presented a style utterly distinct from the RM promotional video.

Lacking flamboyant beauty, her rare, understated elegance made her features even more striking.

With a lift of her brows and a soft gaze, she exuded an enchanting charm.

Seconds after, the editorial department of “Graceful Beauty” shared the post. [@GracefulBeautyMagazineV: Ready for the golden autumn [Hug]]

Fans, still marveling at stumbling upon Si Fuqing’s grid photos, were struck by the mention of ‘Graceful Beauty.”

[Damn!]

[I finally understand the style of my wife and Sister Sang. Quietly, they make a big move.]

[Sister, you’re killing me!!!]

[Look at the aura she carries; dressed in a cheongsam, it feels like she’d pull out a gun rather than an umbrella.] [Just one glance makes me want to kneel.]

[Queen Si!]

[Hilarious, Lin Wansu and Meng Xue must be mad, picking up trash. My wife’s got the cover of ‘Graceful Beauty.’ Why would she compete with ‘Fashion Lady’?]

[You all don’t know the funniest part: ‘Fashion Lady’ had set Lu Ningsheng for their October issue, but she withdrew knowing they rejected Si Fuqing. Serves them right!]

As Mousses were busy saving and admiring the photos, Sang Yanqing posted a personal tweet.

[@SilentNightV: A message to certain individuals, stop playing tricks in front of me. When I was making my mark in the entertainment industry, you were still learning your ABCs in primary school.]

Without naming names, those in the industry knew exactly who Sang Yanqing was referring to.

[Epic! Sister Sang is a beast!]

[Lin Wansu… suddenly seems rather petty, seems like a green tea bit*h.]

[Si Fuqing hasn’t even formally entered the film and television industry, and they’re already trying to put her down. How jealous will they be later on?]

The previous attempts to discredit her had inadvertently rallied the support of the general public.

Lin Wansu’s fans had decreased by thirty thousand—these were all active followers.

As an actress following a path to popularity, the opinion of the general public was crucial.

Lin Wansu was visibly upset, “How did she get the cover of ‘Graceful Beauty’?”

Many top stars vied for the cover of “Graceful Beauty,” and she had heard they were initially in talks with Tong Luoyun. How did it suddenly change to Si Fuqing?

Si Fuqing was indeed a top idol in terms of popularity, but hardly even a second-tier actress.

Has the editor-in -chief of “Graceful Beauty” lost her sight?

“Her agent is Sang Yanqing!” her agent took a deep breath, “Sang Yanqing and Tang Qiao are old friends. If Sang Yanqing asks, wouldn’t Tang Qiao give the cover to them?”

Her agent had entered the industry seven years ago, living in fear under Sang Yanqing’s dominance.

Lin Wansu pursed her lips, “What if I use money?”

“Save it,” her agent shook his head, “You’ve already taken one cover from her. Taking another would only tarnish your reputation further. Look at Meng Xue; after the RM incident, she’s been laying low. Let’s just quietly finish this time-travel drama before moving on to the ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ set.”

Lin Wansu was still reluctant.

But she couldn’t think of a better plan.

For now, she had to let it go.

“However, there’s one thing you can be assured of,” her agent added, “I’ve analyzed Si Fuqing’s fan base, and seventy percent are casual fans who rarely purchase magazines. They follow dramas and look at photos, but it’s the loyal fans who boost the numbers. As long as Si Fuqing doesn’t have those loyal fans buying magazines, you’ll outsell her..”
