The Strong Beauty is a Goddess in Showbiz-Chapter 52 - : Was Qi Wu the Chosen One

Chapter 52: Was Qi Wu the Chosen One

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Although most of the people in the show were amateurs, that was only another selling point.

After all, even if the entertainment industry was full of beautiful women and handsome men, too much beauty was still an eyesore. Therefore, the young and inexperienced all caught the attention of the audience.

With an experienced Mr. in charge, a team of aces and so many things involved, it was clear that “Rookie Assembly” had a big budget.

Hence, an hour after the first episode ended, everyone was talking about the show.

The first episode of the show had done incredibly well, which naturally boosted the production team’s confidence.

Not long after the show aired, Song Qi received a call from one of the investors, the CEO of L&P.

Song Qi was a little confused as to why the investor would call him. He quickly answered the call.

“Mr. Song, please tell me about Qi Wu.”

As soon as the call was connected, the CEO of L&P immediately started talking.

Song Qi was speechless.

While L&P was a big sports brand in the country, it was also the top sports brand in the world since going international after three generations of presidents.

Thus, they never had a shortage of brand ambassadors. Song Qi had never seen the CEO of L&P act this way before.

He cleared his throat. “Mr. Xu, please calm down.”

“That girl perfectly explained the original intention of our brand! I’ve already reported this to the board of directors. I want her as our brand ambassador.”

Mr. Xu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Song Qi was confused.

He was stunned.

At L&P’s level, they no longer needed to use celebrities to attract customers. On the contrary, they paid more attention to ways of interpreting the brand to increase its influence.

However, Qi Wu had not even debuted yet, and she had only made a few appearances on the show. Even so, L&P was already seeking a collaboration with her.

Where was their pride as a top international brand?

Was Qi Wu the Chosen One or something?

As someone who had gone through a lot, Song Qi was quick to calm down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. I cannot decide for her. After all, she’s still an amateur.”

“Of course. Thank you for letting me witness beauty and power going hand in hand. I look forward to her answer.’

Mr. Xu was very polite in his reply. He did not display the arrogance one might expect from the CEO of a big brand.

After the phone call ended, Song Qi felt numb.

What did it mean to be a brand ambassador?

It was a level of endorsement that was second only to being an experiential brand ambassador, which was already rare for A-list celebrities.

L&P now wanted a rookie, an amateur.

Song Qi walked to a quiet corner and called Chang Xun.

When Chang Xun answered the call, Song Qi asked, “Tell me honestly, could Qi Wu be your industry plant?”

Chang Xun was taken aback.

“What’s wrong with you, Song?” he angrily exclaimed.

“I thought I was going crazy too,” Song Qi replied faintly. “The CEO of L&P just called and wanted to invite her to be the brand ambassador.”

Chang Xun remained silent.

For a moment, they were both silent.

Then, Chang Xun chuckled and said, ” Song, we’ve known each other for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve heard you crack a joke.” “Shoo!” Song Qi replied.

Song Qi rolled his eyes. “You’re the one joking. I’m serious.”

Chang Xun fell silent again.

After a while, he said in disbelief, “Am I that lucky? Are all the artists I find that awesome?”

He still remembered a similar situation when Jin Si just started filming his first movie. At that time, as soon as the movie’s behind-the-scenes footage was released, numerous high-end brands wanted to work with him.

Qi Wu’s situation was even more remarkable.

She had not even officially debuted yet, and offers were already coming her way.

Song Qi snorted, “Do you know of Qi Wu’s strength? If she cannot handle this…

You know, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.”

He hoped this would make Chang Xun properly consider this issue.

He did not expect Chang Xun’s response to be so enthusiastic as Chang Xun exclaimed, “Qi Wu is an angel! Those jealous people should just go away!” Song Qi was dumbfounded.

He felt that Chang Xun’s current mindset was similar to Hu Mofei’s.

Chang Xun quickly calmed down. “I have to ask Qi Wu for her opinion on this matter.”

She did not know much about the entertainment industry, so Chang Xun had to find the time to sit down and talk to her.

“Fine. Just let me know because I need to reply to L&P.” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Song Qi agreed to wait.

When Qu Man approached Song Qi with the data from the first episode, which had been aired two hours earlier, she found Song Qi engrossed in the screen before him with a pensive expression on his face.

Upon glancing at the screen, she realized it was a shot of Qi Wu.

When she saw the inquisitive look in his eyes, Qu Man could not help but quip,

“No matter how much you look at her image, it’s better to get to know her in

person.”

“Who said I wanted to…’

Song Qi turned around as he started to retort but stopped himself, likely recalling what happened earlier. In the end, he muttered, “Forget it.”

Qu Man handed over the tablet and asked, “It’s within expectations. Our numbers have shot up high and the ratings are still rising. Do you want to give it a push?”

Song Qi nodded and said, “Do it.”

Then, as a thought abruptly crossed his mind, a hint of disgust briefly flashed across his face. “What’s the update on Tong Luo’s situation?”

Qu Man nodded and replied, “Yes, we found the scapegoat. I’ll make an announcement tomorrow.”

“Highlight the negative news about Tong Fei for the first episode.”

Song Qi had a blank look on his face.

Thus, when Tong Luo steeled herself mentally and was prepared to read up on people bashing her, she was surprised to find that the criticism directed at her had significantly decreased.

There was even more criticism…directed at Tong Fei.

‘Is this Tong Fei, the sister of Tong Luo who was exposed as the illegitimate daughter? Is this what rich people are like?’

‘As expected of a daughter from a wealthy family. She doesn’t even know how to restrain herself on the show. She’s such an eyesore.’

‘I feel much happier after seeing the angel admonish her. It’s like she knew what I was thinking!’

‘To be honest, Tong Luo didn’t ask to be an illegitimate daughter. Tong Fei is too much.’

Tong Luo had prepared herself for ridicule and scorn from the audience when she clicked into the comments.

She was taken aback when she saw that the curses were not directed at her.

Eager to share this development with Qi Wu, Tong Luo told her all about it.

Upon hearing this, Qi Wu responded with a composed smile. She gently stroked the hair on the back of Tong Luo’s head and spoke with a serene and compassionate voice, “One day, you will gain all that you have lost.”

Tong Luo was stunned by the smile on Qi Wu’s face.

Although she had seen Qi Wu smile many times before, she had never felt such a sense of distance between them.

It was as if Qi Wu were a distant, ethereal moon, casting its cold, purifying light upon the earth as a show of mercy..
