313 Last-Minute Performance
Jing Yan blinked his bright eyes and put her hand on her lap. “Why do you think I look like a pine tree?” he asked.
He Miao smiled sweetly and explained, “The scent of pine and cypress can calm and soothe one’s emotions. I used the pine and cypress as an example to say that as long as you’re by my side, I’ll feel a great sense of courage and security. I won’t be afraid even if I’m faced with a huge problem. To me, only you can do this.”
“Miaomiao, if you say that again, I won’t be able to hold back.”
Jing Yan’s face blushed. He had always been the one trying to get closer to her in front of outsiders, suppressing his love for her. This was the first time He Miao had said so many sweet words to him in public.
For a moment, his thoughts were in turmoil, and his eyes were full of emotions. Jing Yan wanted nothing more than to end the event immediately and take He Miao home to do what he could not wait to do.
He Miao also realized that he had lost control just now. She lowered her head and smiled shyly. “Alright, I’ll stop talking. It’s my turn to go on stage in a while.”
He Miao was arranged to go on stage at a slightly later order. This was her own request, as the last appearance could bring a lasting effect.
On the stage, after Mo Ran finished introducing the products in her hands, she fixed her eyes on He Miao, who was having an intimate interaction with Jing Yan.
The media was filming the most promising movie queen in the future. Morning Fragrance had spent a lot of money to hire her as the spokesperson because they saw the profits she could bring to the company. Right now, she was the most popular in the entertainment industry. The other person who could barely share the trending search with her was He Wei, who had just returned with her comeback.
This time, He Wei’s attitude was many times more arrogant and domineering than before. In the past, she would deliberately set up the image of a gentle big sister, but after He Miao had revealed her true character some time ago, she completely let herself go this time. She was too lazy to put on an act and simply brought funds into the production group, paid the penalty in a high-profile way, and then announced her comeback.
At first, there were many people on the internet who looked down on her nouveau riche behavior and left comments to scold her. They also dug up many old deeds of framing their own sister in the past, and almost no one was willing to speak up for her.
This time, He Wei did not care at all. As usual, she played as much as she wanted to. Not only did she post photos of herself swimming at home, but she also deliberately did not wear any glasses or masks to cover her face. She openly led a large team to the mall to shop, spending at least hundreds of thousands each time.
Her extravagance left people speechless, but it also won her a lot of good feelings.
People in this world were used to worshiping the strong and stepping on the weak. After the netizens who had been scolding He Wei saw that she was really capable, they did not dare to say anything and could only comment in a low voice.
Not long ago, He Wei generously expressed that in order to celebrate the end of a day of filming, she posted red packets worth tens of thousands on the internet. She also specifically restricted the distribution of red packets to only her fans.
This move attracted a lot of fans for her. Those who had lost their fans started to follow He Wei in order to get a huge red packet. Those who got the red packet were grateful to He Wei, and those who did not get it knelt in the comment area and called her sister, waiting for her to give her a generous gift next time.
Now, He Wei’s fans were much more than when she was working hard in the entertainment industry. The company she was signed with saw her value and was willing to invest in her. This time, she represented the Ye group at the new product launch and the company even specially arranged for several high-end custom-made clothes for her. The dress and jewelry she wore when she attended were all endorsements of famous local and foreign brands.
After flashing her wealth, He Wei’s net worth had inexplicably increased by more than several times compared to her previous little white flower image.
This time, He Wei had wanted to outshine the future Best Actress Mo Ran, but after seeing He Miao, she completely changed her mind. Her biggest enemy had always been He Miao alone.
When it was Ye group’s turn to speak on stage, He Wei held her head high arrogantly and walked on the red carpet cleared out by the media. She glanced disdainfully at He Miao in the audience.
Naturally, the reporters would not miss this scene. This was the first time the two sisters appeared on the same screen since He Wei’s comeback.
Thinking back to the scene of the two of them fighting each other on the internet before the new year, this face to face confrontation would obviously set off a bigger storm. No one was willing to miss this opportunity. The camera switched back and forth between the two from time to time, not letting pass of the slightest expression on their faces.
He Wei did not know how to make perfumes and she did not have the patience to memorize those cumbersome advertising lines. Anyway, she had the image of a proud lady now and did not care much about this press conference.
He Wei looked at the perfume that the company’s staff handed to her. She opened the lid expressionlessly and sniffed the rich fragrance at the tip of her nose. She completely forgot about the advertisement slogan that she had just read a few times and started to ad-lib the scene. “This so-called perfume is to set off the charm of a woman. Only mature and elegant women can use this perfume.”
