Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 985 - 489: Stirring Up Trouble

Lin Hui eventually signed Shen You’an’s endorsement for five times the original asking price.

Zhao Heng’s smooth talk could really brainwash people, and by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

However, after some careful consideration, even snowmoon had bought shares, indicating their strong belief in Shen You’an’s future development, which means she’s just buying in advance. Once Shen You’an’s value skyrockets, it might be difficult to sign him even in line.

Meanwhile, Rong Xianning still received the original offer.

When Ding Meng walked out of the corporate building, her face looked quite displeased. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Hui was obviously treating people differently. How could she do this? Wasn’t Shen You’an only popular because of the hype with Rong Xianning? How could his offer be so much higher than Rong Xianning’s?

Ding Meng felt extremely unbalanced.

But Rong Xianning didn’t have the endorsement of a top luxury brand like snowmoon, so Lin Hui wouldn’t pay attention.

It looks like she’ll need to mobilize her connections to get a luxury brand endorsement for Rong Xianning, which is a razor-sharp tool to raise status. To be fair, Shen You’an’s management team is very capable.

"President Zhao, amazing, a newcomer could actually secure an endorsement from snowmoon."

Ding Meng raised her thumb.

Zhao Heng smiled with pride: "Our An’an is just too outstanding. The founder of snowmoon personally requested An’an to endorse."

Ding Meng didn’t believe it at all. Would snowmoon’s founder pay attention to a minor celebrity? Really flattering himself.

"As far as I know, the snowmoon Group has never sought an endorser in the country. The highest title was an ambassador held by the top actress Zeng Hong. Are you sure it’s an endorser? Not just a friend?"

Who wouldn’t mix and match to deceive people?

Zhao Heng blatantly rolled his eyes: "Our An’an is a high-IQ genius with an impeccable image and temperament. Luxury brands have no reason not to like her, proving that a luxury brand is indeed a luxury brand, with a keen eye."

Ding Meng’s face darkened. Is this a jab at Rong Xianning not being favored by a luxury brand? What’s there to be proud of?

"Our Ningning isn’t bad either, able to achieve a top score in the high school entrance exam despite a tight schedule. Now she’s focused on creating a new album, working so hard at such a young age. Unfortunately, coming from a small place, with no background or resources, she has to rely on herself."

Zhao Heng recognized her sarcasm about An’an using her background to gain resources.

"The kid is indeed pitiful, having such parents. It’s a blood tie that can’t be shaken off in this lifetime. They’ll be leeching off her forever. You’re having a tough time too."

Zhao Heng’s tone showed sympathy but actually contained a subtle mockery.

Ding Meng was fuming with anger.

Even if unwilling to admit it, Rong Xianning’s image was indeed affected by his scumbag father.

Carrying ten years of gambling debts, no matter how good his image or talents were, he was inevitably tainted. Luxury brands demand very high standards for their endorsees’ images, aimed at high-end customers. Someone like Rong Xianning, with such significant family issues, would be automatically blacklisted by luxury brands.

Improving his image and minimizing the impact of his family background is very difficult, unless perhaps a sudden car accident takes his scumbag father, Rong Yuhe, away.

The thought startled Ding Meng, scaring herself.

Recently, she had read many comments from the Lemons joking about pooling money to hire a hitman to get rid of Rong Yuhe. This awful father pushed fans to their limits.

But in today’s law-abiding society, who would dare? Fans can only vent privately, not go so far as to ruin themselves over a scumbag.

Zhao Heng, seeing Ding Meng’s face turn sour with anger, smugly smirked, looking all smug and annoying.

The artists from both sides were good friends, having filmed two reality shows together, with a joint endorsement coming up. In theory, both teams should be old friends sticking together.

But these two were now like two rivals, with each taunting the other, both thinking the other is riding on their coattails, mutually unimpressed.

Zhao Heng really disliked Ding Meng. This woman used to do anything necessary for boy bands. But considering An’an and Rong Xianning, he wouldn’t act too much.

Thinking about Rong Xianning’s family, Ding Meng felt heartbroken, lacking the mood for verbal sparring with Zhao Heng.

Shen You’an having a background and resources was also quite good. Since they are in different gender brackets, there is no direct competition for resources. There might even be a chance for Rong Xianning to rely on her for support.

Sula is a perfect example.

No matter how uncomfortable inside, she had to convince herself to accept it.

Just then, Ding Meng received a call from her assistant.

"What? Zhou Rong came to the company causing trouble? She has the nerve to come?"

Ding Meng’s face turned fearsomely dark.

Zhao Heng glanced at her.

Ding Meng hung up the phone hastily, saying, "Shooting the commercial this weekend, remember the time, see you at the set then."

With that, she quickly left.

Zhao Heng touched his chin: "Zhou Rong? Who’s that?"

The lawyer adjusted his glasses on his nose, "According to compiled information online, it’s Rong Xianning’s biological mother."

Recently, Rong Xianning was exposed all over the internet because of his father’s gambling debts, with his family’s background completely uncovered. Back then, information about his parents was online, except they were regular people, and not much attention was given.

The lawyer worked in entertainment law, so naturally, he was more informed.

Zhao Heng clicked his tongue: "This kid really has it rough. With his parents taking turns leeching off him, there’s more trouble ahead."

Zhao Heng checked the time. It was almost noon, and class should be ending, so he called Shen You’an to report.

This endorsement was indeed An’an’s decision. To be honest, he wasn’t really interested in this endorsement.

But since it’s what An’an liked, he could only support it.

Probably because of Rong Xianning, An’an was all about loyalty and righteousness.

"Got it."

On the phone, Shen You’an’s voice was indifferent, with a noisy background, probably walking to the cafeteria after class.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

In a gossiping tone, Zhao Heng shared with Shen You’an about Rong Xianning’s parents. His long-lost biological mother returned and even caused a scene at Rong’s company, which made Ding Meng furious.

Shen You’an paused for a moment in silence.

"Is that funny?"

Zhao Heng immediately stopped smiling, "Not funny."

"If you’re that free, go check on the Cultural Creation Conference."

Zhao Heng was stunned: "Cultural Creation Conference?"

"Follow Lin Hui, see who she’s meeting next."

Sitting in the car, Zhao Heng looked up just in time to see Lin Hui exiting the building and getting into a sedan.

Zhao Heng instructed the driver, "Follow that car ahead."

Lin Hui’s car headed toward the outskirts, finally stopping at the entrance of a sanatorium.

Zhao Heng followed from a distance behind Lin Hui.

The sanatorium had a serene environment with a large garden filled with green plants and flowers. There weren’t many people in the garden, just a few elderly folks basking in the sun.

One woman was an exception, with a canvas stand before her, surrounded by paints, leisurely painting under the sun.

Lin Hui walked directly to the woman’s side, "Madam, the wind is strong outside. Take care of yourself."

She picked up a blanket draped over a nearby chair and covered the woman with it.

Zhao Heng had good vision and instantly recognized the painting woman as Yao Huia, the wife of the Cultural Creation Conference’s boss.

However, it was Lin Hui doing the talking, with Yao Huia listening, though Zhao Heng couldn’t hear clearly from afar.

The boss had taken the Cultural Creation Conference endorsement on purpose and wanted him to find out who was behind Lin Hui, suggesting there was a reason for it.

Could it be that this Yao Huia was planning something?
