Chapter 143: Spokesperson
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs. Li had spotted Lu Chen at the house entrance and couldn’t contain her excitement. Every time he came to visit Fang Jiayi, he exhibited such politeness that one would never guess he came from an ordinary family.
“Oh my, your perception is truly remarkable. I let you see right through him. He’s from the Lu family and is going to be Jiayi’s future husband!”
Mrs. Li’s eyes sparkled at the mention of the Lu family. They were the wealthiest family in Fengcheng City, far more prosperous than Haicheng City. Contemplating Fang Jiayi’s prospective membership in the city’s elite, Mrs. Li knew her visit had been a wise decision. She grinned and retrieved a contract from her bag.
“Here’s the deal. The main reason I’m here is to invite Jiayi to become the brand spokesperson for our company.”
The Li family was involved in the piano business, operating internationally.
Mrs. Li understood that most young piano learners came from affluent families. As they were still in their youth, selecting youthful ambassadors was essential. In the recent National Piano Competition, first place was secured by Cheng Yuqi from the Cheng family, the wealthiest in the nation. Cheng Yuqi certainly wouldn’t bother endorsing a piano brand – she had no shortage of funds.
This is why Mrs. Li had set her sights on Fang Jiayi. The Fang family valued wealth as if their lives depended on it, leaving no opportunity for even minor profits to escape their grasp.
Song Ling accepted the contract, her eyes widening at the endorsement fee of five million yuan.
“We’re looking to sign a one-year contract with Jiayi. After a year, the endorsement fee will depend on Jiayi.”
Mrs. Li’s intentions were quite transparent by now. If Jiayi continued to excel, adding more accolades to her name, the endorsement fee would certainly increase. On the other hand, if her achievements waned, the fee would naturally decrease.
Song Ling wasn’t concerned about the potential reduction in the endorsement fee. She felt like she had hit the jackpot. “Mrs. Li, you truly hold Jiayi in high regard. It’s just a minor competition…” Five million yuan for a second-place finish was more than generous.
“No, the value of this competition is quite substantial. Jiayi’s second-place win indicates her piano skills far surpass the other participants.”
Song Ling responded, “I’ll have Jiayi sign the contract when she returns, then.”
“Of course, but I do have two conditions,” Mrs. Li added with a polite smile. “Firstly, as Jiayi becomes our brand ambassador, she can’t endorse any other piano brands.”
Song Ling chuckled and remarked, “I understand. No piano brand in the entire country can afford such a high endorsement fee…”
Mrs. Li continued with her conditions, “Additionally, during the contract period, there mustn’t be any negative publicity. If there is, you’ll be liable for a penalty ten times the amount.”
Song Ling assured her, “Our Jiayi is incredibly well-behaved. There won’t be any negative news.”
Mrs. Li nodded and said, “I’ll have Mrs. Fang present this contract to Jiayi for her signature. After the award ceremony, we’ll announce her as the brand’s spokesperson on our official Weibo account. Until then, we must keep it confidential.”
Song Ling readily agreed, saying, “No problem!”
After Mrs. Li had finished speaking, she rose from her seat. “I won’t impose on you any longer. I see that Mr. Fang’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Many people must be calling to congratulate him.”
Song Ling expressed her gratitude, exchanged a few polite words, and escorted her to the door, elated.
Meanwhile, after Fang Liguo concluded his call, he was thrilled to hear the news relayed by the nanny.
The nanny couldn’t help but praise Jiayi. “Miss Jiayi is truly exceptional! There’s something unique about having a biological child. They’ve inherited the master and madam’s genes, unlike that Fang Yuan…”
“That’s absolutely right. Fang Yuan doesn’t seem like a good child at all. She’s also aloof. She appears to think highly of herself.”
“The master has been raising her for so many years, yet she hasn’t even visited. Ungrateful, really.”
“Our Miss Jiayi is intelligent, kind, and gifted. Achieving second place in such a significant competition is truly remarkable!”
“What’s the discussion about?” Fang Jiayi had just returned home from her date and took Song Ling’s hand, leading her into the living room. She acted as if she hadn’t noticed the nanny’s compliments.
As soon as the nannies saw her, their praises resumed.
“Miss Jiayi, you’re back at last! Your date lasted from morning till evening. That’s quite a long one! Young love is so sweet!”
“Our Miss Jiayi has surely captured Young Master Lu Chen’s heart completely!”
“Indeed, not everyone can have Young Master Lu Chen’s undivided attention for an entire day. Our Miss Jiayi is truly exceptional!”
Fang Jiayi smiled, aware that her date had been scheduled due to the official Weibo account posting the competition rankings. Otherwise, Lu Chen hadn’t taken the initiative to contact her for a few days.
“Jiayi, is Lu Chen treating you well, just like before?” Song Ling inquired with genuine concern.
Fang Jiayi nodded and didn’t elaborate further.. Nevertheless, she was well aware that some aspects of their relationship had quietly evolved…
