Meanwhile, although Si Fuqing’s fans were fighting on the front lines, various marketing accounts and internet trolls were working together, determined to push Si Fuqing onto yet another trending “blacklist” topic.

To netizens, while Zuo Qingya wasn’t a great person, Si Fuqing interfering in someone else’s relationship wasn’t much better.

It was noon by now.

Si Fuqing was in a lounge, discussing an advertising contract with Daifei’s manager.

“Please wait a moment, Miss Si.” the manager said, pausing. “I need to take a call.”

He stepped out.

Shang Lu, looking confused, asked, “Miss Si, why are you taking this ad? The endorsement fee isn’t high, and the brand isn’t very well-known.”

“Naturally, to support domestic products,” Si Fuqing said lazily. “Besides, shooting this kind of ad isn’t hard work.”

Shang Lu nodded as if he understood.

“Pfft,” Xiaobai, who was lying on the floor, shot him a disdainful glance.

Outside the room.

The manager frowned. “You want me to replace Si Fuqing? The contract’s already signed, and now you want to switch?”

“Who knew this issue would blow up so quickly? It’s already at #35 on the trending entertainment topics,” the director said. “Sure, we want someone good-looking, but we can’t pick someone with so many controversies. Just look at her—now she’s accused of interfering in someone’s family. What kind of character can she have?”

“Most importantly, this advertisement is going to be broadcasted on Daxia TV. Do I need to remind you how strict they are?”

Hearing this, the manager’s expression finally shifted.

Daxia TV was famously rigorous, and getting an ad approved was already a challenge. The only reason they even got through was because their product was a domestic brand.

“Fine.” The manager nodded. “Since it hasn’t been publicly announced yet, we’ll pick another endorser.”

He returned to the lounge, picked up the contract, and said, “Apologies, Miss Si. The company just issued an urgent notice—we regret that we cannot move forward with this collaboration.”

Si Fuqing looked up, her expression calm, and even smiled. “Oh?”

Shang Lu became anxious. “What do you mean? The contract is already signed, and now you’re backing out?”

“Just because it’s signed doesn’t mean it can’t be torn up,” the manager replied coolly. “Miss Si, I suggest you hire a professional PR team to handle your negative publicity.”

Most celebrities had scandals, but they also had PR teams to clean up the mess.

Si Fuqing, however, seemed to be trending for negative reasons all the time.

It was too risky. The company couldn’t afford it.

Si Fuqing lowered her head and glanced at her phone.

The assistant director from Daxia TV had sent her a message:

[Eat Well, Drink Well]: Miss Si, our show’s filing has been fully approved. I’ve prepared the contract. I’m currently in Lincheng, right at your production team’s doorstep. Let me know when you’re available, and I’ll come to you to sign it.

Si Fuqing tapped her fingers on the table and replied:

[Got it. You can come over now. I just wrapped up another matter. The lounge staff will guide you.]

[Eat Well, Drink Well]: Great, I’m on my way!

Si Fuqing showed little reaction, but Shang Lu was fuming. “This is outrageous! Backing out after signing a contract—where’s the integrity? You won’t get far like this!”

“That’s not something you need to worry about,” the manager said, glancing at his watch. “We’ll find another endorser. We also hope Miss Si won’t go public with this matter about signing the contract.”

What a pity—her looks weren’t bad, but she kept ending up in so many scandals. Didn’t she know how to protect her reputation?

“Miss Si!” Shang Lu was livid. “They’re going too far!”

He’d only been working with Si Fuqing for two days, and already he’d seen this kind of bullying.

“What are you so mad about?” Si Fuqing glanced at him. “Do I look like I need this endorsement?”

She hadn’t even wanted to take it in the first place.

The manager heard this and only chuckled without commenting further.

Si Fuqing still didn’t understand the ways of the entertainment industry. When an artist’s risk profile increased, every company reevaluated whether they were worth working with.

As the manager reached the door and was about to open it, someone pushed it open from the other side.

The assistant director walked in excitedly. “Miss Si, here we go—let’s sign the contract!”
