Chapter 1329
Right now, Wendy’s anger was through the roof. Yet, seeing a few people walking in from the door, her anger
instantly piled up in her chest. She was unable to vent, but she had to force a smile and face them, “Well, if it isn’t
my favorite managers…what brings you here?”
Faced with Wendy’s smiling face, the small group of people all had gloomy expressions. One of the managers cut
straight to the chase. “Ms. Wendy, we’re here to terminate our contract.”
Wendy’s smile froze on her face. “Terminate? If I remember correctly, my company’s artist is in the middle of
filming, and you’ve already seen the promo photos. If this is about yesterday’s makeup contest. Your company is a
renowned clothing brand. It doesn’t seem to have any direct conflict with the
contest.”
The manager let out a sigh. “I know, we’re not here because of yesterday’s contest, but because the image of the
spokesperson you recommended to us simply doesn’t fit with our clothing style. Our target market is petite women
with delicate figures, yet the model you recommended is tall and has a large body frame. Our clothes just don’t
look right on her…”
“Exactly, we sell kitchen and bathroom furniture, but the artist you recommended has never cooked a meal in her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlife, knows nothing about kitchen appliances, and nearly caused major problems during the shooting. It’s well
known that she doesn’t do housework, so how can someone like that represent our brand? Who would accept
that?”
“My company sells learning machines, but it has been discovered that the artist you recommended failed all her
subjects in school except for PE… Their words left Wendy at a loss. For some reason, Beverly’s words from just
moments ago echoed in her head.
“But I think, the problem is definitely more than just these… More things will definitely happen, you just wait and
see. She hasn’t done anything all this time, and yet you… You’ve failed completely! Compared to her, Ms. Wendy,
you’re really no match for Chloe, there’s a world of differences between you
two.”
So, was the appearance of these brand merchants the “more things” that Beverly was talking about?
Wendy fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter. It must’ve been.
Chloe did nothing, while the endorsements that Wendy snatched at a low price, thanks to the heat from a contest,
were facing termination before they even started. The ones that had started filming seemed destined to fail.
Seeing Wendy’s state, the brand managers also looked quite awkward.
“It was my staff who didn’t carefully consider this. The price seemed reasonable, and the spokespersons were
mostly well–known stars! However, you indeed hid too much about the artists‘ real situation from us when signing
the contract. This led to a serious mismatch in style discovered during the shooting. So, regarding the specific
compensation details for contract termination, I think we need to discuss in detail.”
“Yes, we also discovered a problem after shooting. There was indeed intentional deception during the cooperation
process, so we need to talk about losses and wasted time…”
Wendy felt a chill in her hands and feet as she slowly sank back into her chair. Her face was pale, and she looked
utterly defeated.
“Chloe’s indifference was her strategy. She doesn’t need to do anything. As long as you successfully snatch the
endorsement from her, it means you’ve already failed.”
Everything Beverly had just said, Wendy now fully understood. From start to finish, Chloe really didn’t do anything.
Chloe just let Wendy snatch the endorsements from her artists time and time again, and in the end, Wendy, who
thought she was successful, ended up being the biggest loser.
“I was negligent. Ms. Summers emphasized the question of ‘suitability‘ to me.”
“Me too, Ms. Summers personally called me to stress that she accepted my endorsement not just for the artist’s
work opportunities and endorsement fees. I was dismissive at the time… now it’s too late to realize!”
“Me too! Looking back, the artist I wanted to sign was a top student from elementary school to college… I don’t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknow if Ms. Summers would give me another chance to negotiate a contract…”
Wendy’s brows furrowed, and her pen was held tightly in her hand. She looked at the people in front of her and
suddenly let out a cold laugh. “You want to go back to Chloe? While she was using me, didn’t she also use you? For
the sake of short–term benefits, you easily terminated the contract with her, and she didn’t stop you. Now… I may
have suffered losses, but you haven’t? You still want to work with her again, do you have no self–respect? Is it that
only Chloe’s artists are irreplaceable in this world?”
They had all come this far, and they still wanted to back out. Where was their dignity? Even if they were
incompetent, they were still people with a certain status in the industry. But now, being described with such sharp
words by a young woman, their faces looked extremely humiliated.
“You’re quite a gutsy woman, not afraid to do or say anything! If it wasn’t for your constant persuasion, would we
have terminated our contract with Starlight International, and wasted so much time and manpower?”
“What do you mean Ms. Summers used you, we were also used?! Ms. Summers used you? What did she do? Did
she provoke you? Or did she snatch your endorsements? The whole time, you were the one picking a fight with her,
and now you’re saying she used you? Don’t you feel silly?!”
“If it wasn’t for your status, do you think we would’ve paid attention to you? You don’t think things through, but you
always like to stir up trouble, I am speechless!”
Wendy’s hand was gripping the pen tightly. All day, she had been compared to Chloe, constantly belittled, and now
she was just sitting there, her whole body trembling, as if she would explode at any moment.
“Get out!” After a while, she managed to squeeze a word out between clenched teeth. “Get out! All of you, get out!”
