Chapter 634: Chapter 634: A call is coming in

Estelle spoke calmly, but in reality, her mood wasn’t much better than the assistant’s. If she hadn’t been angry, she wouldn’t have returned to the office and asked the assistant to find all the documents from companies that had recently submitted collaboration applications.

However, the problem was that after she reviewed all the invitations, when it came to the prestige of the brands, none of them compared to the previous chocolate advertisement.

Accepting such a second-best offer was worse than not accepting any at all.

Otherwise, after the official announcement, the other party would probably hire a bunch of internet trolls to say that’s all they were fit to endorse—some low-grade products.

Rong Yan looked at the office filled with gloom, everyone’s faces downcast as if it was all over for her. With a helpless snort, she broke the oppressive atmosphere of the office. She walked over, slung her arms over two people’s shoulders, and said lightly, “Don’t be too anxious. Being anxious now is useless. Rong Weiwei’s status is higher than mine; if she wants to step on me in terms of status, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

The young assistant was still not over it, “But we can’t let them release a false public statement like that, I’m still furious! By what right does she persuade the brand to say our status isn’t enough? Didn’t they understand our status before they came to talk to us about collaboration? It was clearly them who actively sought us out for collaboration, and now they turn around and go back on their word, biting us back by saying our status isn’t enough, that their brand considered it and found us unsuitable, wanting to change persons. Hmph! They had already hooked up with HuanYu and decided to go with Rong Weiwei. Not only did they breach the contract, but they also threw the blame on us, making it seem as if we don’t live up to their brand!”

What infuriated Estelle was precisely this point. Hearing the assistant’s words, she massaged her temples and said with gravity to Rong Yan, “I checked all the brands that have approached us recently, and either they are micro-businesses or their products don’t match your public image. For now, we can’t find a suitable brand to compete with the previous one.”

Some brands are not terrible per se, but the key lies in the product. For Rong Yan’s first advertisement, she couldn’t possibly accept a sanitary pad endorsement.

If her first advertisement turned out to be for sanitary pads, it would then be difficult for Rong Yan to make progress in the fashion circle. As her agent, I would definitely not sacrifice my artist’s future just to make quick money.”

Putting aside those down-to-earth brands and products, the remaining unverified products were even less acceptable. Rong Yan’s reputation had always been controversial; accepting the endorsement for a brand that’s even more controversial now would be handing HuanYu and Rong Weiwei an opportunity to sling mud.

This won’t do, that won’t work. I now have a splitting headache, filled with self-reproach and discomfort, “I’m sorry. In the end, this is my responsibility. I shouldn’t have blindly trusted them at the start, which led to this situation.”

Rong Yan wanted to comfort her that it wasn’t a big deal, that every problem has a solution, and that if her status wasn’t enough now, it would be eventually. There was no need to make herself miserable just because Rong Weiwei deliberately provoked her.

But Estelle seemed to be caught up in self-blame. After she made her apology, she stood up with her phone and said, “I’ll contact some brand representatives who have a good relationship with me, to see if they’re in need of someone.”

No matter what, she had to find a resource for Rong Yan that could compete with that national chocolate brand, even if it wasn’t an endorsement. She had to put up a fight with Rong Weiwei at least in terms of public appearance; otherwise, she couldn’t get over it herself.

“Estelle,” Rong Yan called out, unable to hold her back as her own phone rang. There was no choice but to answer the call first.
