"My mom and dad have to work, so naturally, they don’t have ti to accompany . Besides, this should be up to my brother."
Nuonuo understood that as long as her brother agreed, even if her parents were unwilling, they would never impose further obstacles.
Zhang Ziweng silently lanted, feeling tears flowing down her heart.
"Can’t these Ji Family young masters and misses spare a commoner like ? Was it easy for to climb from a street reporter to the position of fashion editor-in-chief?"
"Si Han, you don’t really need this money, and it seems your family would prefer you to focus on your studies. Maybe, just let it go..."
Although Zhang Ziweng wanted to help Mr. Mai, when weighing the pros and cons, she would rather offend Mr. Mai than provoke the seemingly amiable Young Master Ji not far away.
"Ziweng, how can you say that?"
Mr. Mai couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Ziweng. So far, compared to the spokesperson they were about to sign, Mr. Mai still preferred Si Han, otherwise, this audition wouldn’t be happening today.
Zhang Ziweng sneaked a glance at Ji Yu, who was chatting with the photographer and director on stage. Sensing her gaze, Ji Yu slightly turned his head and gave her a deep look.
Sweat beaded on Zhang Ziweng’s forehead. She looked at the innocent Si Han and the slightly angry Mr. Mai and moved her lips but felt that saying anything now might just be a mistake.
"Sigh..." Unable to express herself, she could only let out a long sigh.
Si Han, being very perceptive, was puzzled by Zhang Ziweng’s strange words. Then, catching the brief exchange of glances between Zhang Ziweng and her brother, she vaguely understood sothing.
"Sister Ziweng, don’t worry. I’ve already promised my mom and dad that I won’t let filming adverts affect my studies."
Zhang Ziweng let out another silent sigh, thinking how naive Si Han was.
"Si Han, promises are just empty words. In reality, it’s impossible not to be affected."
This endorsent was different. Unlike the previous limited photo shoots and small ad segnts, this ti, the spokesperson was required to participate in brand promotions and walk shows. If the designer deed it necessary, the spokesperson also needed to attend the product launch shows.
So, saying it won’t affect your studies is wishful thinking.
"Think it through; if you change your mind now, it saves us the trouble."
Zhang Ziweng pretended she didn’t see Mr. Mai’s fierce gaze and continued persuading Si Han to give up the audition.
After Zhang Ziweng’s persuasion, Si Han remained resolute.
"Sister Ziweng, I’ve thought it through. If I lose in the audition, I’ll accept it! But if I lose without even trying, I won’t be satisfied!"
Zhang Ziweng stared at her, thinking, "Young Miss, do you know how much manpower and resources that one sentence of dissatisfaction will cost us?"
But she only dared to grind her teeth and say those complaints in her heart.
"Ziweng, enough. If you keep persuading Si Han, I’ll get angry!" Mr. Mai finally couldn’t help but warn Zhang Ziweng.
Zhang Ziweng, realizing she couldn’t persuade Si Han, had no choice but to get up and walk toward the stage.
"Young Master Ji! I didn’t expect Si Han to be the one auditioning." Zhang Ziweng tried to disassociate herself in front of Da Bao.
In fact, Mr. Mai hadn’t explicitly told her that another model and Si Han were coming for the audition.
"Hmm."
Da Bao only responded briefly, his face overly calm.
Faced with this unreadable expression, Zhang Ziweng grew more anxious.
"Young Master Ji..." She wanted to further explain herself because President Chen had clearly stated that Si Han must not sign this endorsent.
But now, seeing the confird change, it’s not so easy to dissociate herself.
Ji Dabao did indeed feel so resentnt, but in the end, this underhanded trick of his wasn’t quite honorable. So, ultimately, he felt a bit guilty and inadequate facing Nuonuo.
Da Bao sighed inwardly. Even if he had a slight reason to take Nuonuo ho and directly break the agreent, agreeing to bring Nuonuo here showed he was already at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
It seems he really underestimated this girl Nuonuo.
Soone who knows how to cleverly manipulate people’s minds certainly isn’t foolish, right?
"Miss Zhang, let things take their course." Seeing how frightened she was, a conscience-stricken Da Bao kindly gave her an out.
Zhang Ziweng could only relax slightly, "Thank you, Young Master Ji..."
Da Bao smiled at her, "Miss Zhang, it seems Si Han will be troubling you again."
Of course, Da Bao understood that with a background like theirs, others usually dared not provoke them and would avoid them if possible.
Zhang Ziweng probably regretted ever insisting on Nuonuo being their spokesperson...
"Young Master Ji, you’re overpraising. Si Han is very sensible and low-maintenance."
Zhang Ziweng, being smart, definitely understood that Young Master Ji had softened his stance.
As expected, things developed as Da Bao anticipated.
Nuonuo was taken to get her makeup done. After Da Bao chatted with Mr. Mai, he stood beside Mr. Mai as an outsider when the audition began.
The model ready to be signed went on stage first. From her stage rhythm and expressions, Da Bao could tell she wasn’t a newcor.
Her body movents were fluid, exuding the vibe of a professional model.
When Nuonuo took the stage, wearing the sa outfit as the previous model, her entrance rhythm was also precise. What slightly surprised Da Bao was her body movents, which were even more animated than the professional model’s.
But her most striking features were her smile and natural movents. Even Da Bao, an outsider, could sense that Nuonuo’s performance appeared more comfortable and natural, as if she wasn’t acting but freely showcasing her aura and presence.
The audition result was overwhelmingly in Nuonuo’s favor.
Both Mr. Mai, the photographer, the director, and another designer who had been standing quietly in the back all unanimously voted for Nuonuo.
Da Bao had ntally prepared for this outco, so when Nuonuo stood on the stage, he was already silently rehearsing his argunts to win his parents’ sympathy votes at ho.
Of course, going back on one’s word was sothing he rarely did. But for this girl, he had no choice, and he was willing to do it.
Her brilliance on stage was too dazzling for her brother to bear extinguishing her light.
