“We’re not interested.” Xiao Yao silenced the man with a few words.

The man touched his head a little embarrassedly and chuckled, saying, “I’m sorry that I was too rude. This young lady looks like a teenager. Perhaps it’s not proper to ask her to star in a perfume TV commercial.” The man paused and then said to the Xiao brothers, “You look familiar. Have we met before?”

“Especially this gentleman.” The man looked at Xiao Jing, and a touch of doubt flickered across his eyes. “It seems that I’ve seen you somewhere.”

Tang Xi recovered from her reverie. She was no longer the former Tang Xi. Paparazzi would no longer hound her for her news. She relaxed at this thought, turned her head around and began to sleep.

Xiao Jing didn’t like guys who would come up to accost his beautiful sister and even take pictures of her, so he said coldly, “Delete all the photos in your camera and go away. We don’t want to shoot any TV commercial.”

Tang Xi didn’t want it either. She just wanted to ‘act’ Xiao Rou well, get what Xiao Rou wanted, complete 008’s tasks, and then return to the capital to avenge herself.

Xiao Sa took the camera from the man’s hand to delete the photos himself. Upon seeing the beautiful pictures in it, however, he couldn’t bring himself to delete them, so he threw the camera to Xiao Jing and said, “Delete them.”

Xiao Jing gave him a sideways glance, scolded him for being lazy, and picked up the camera. Then the corner of his eyes twitched. What should he do? He would feel guilty if he deleted such beautiful photos... Not knowing what to do, Xiao Jing also threw the camera, this time to Xiao Yao, and he said with a chuckle, “You do it. I can’t bring myself to do it.”

Xiao Yao glared at them and picked up the camera. After taking a look at it, he frowned and pulled out the camera’s memory card. After making sure there was no backup memory in the camera, he returned it to the man and asked, “How much is your memory card? We’ll pay you.”

“Please reconsider my offer.” Unwilling to give up, the man continued, “As long as this young lady agrees, I’ll cancel the contract with Xiao Jinning right away and let her star in the TV commercial. As for the payment, I’ll offer you the same price as Xiao Jinning: three million Yuan. What do you think?”

“We said no...”

“Wait a minute!” Tang Xi, who had been lying drowsily on the ground, suddenly jolted straight up. She narrowed her eyes, looked at the man and gave a wicked smile, asking, “What did you say?”

Being gazed at by her beautiful, bright eyes, the man blushed and stammered. After some hemming and hawing, he finally said, “I said you could earn three million Yuan from this TV commercial, tax free.”

Tang Xi waved a hand and smiled at the man. “Hey, that’s not what I’m asking about. The part before that. You said you chose Xiao Jinning to star in this TV commercial and signed an agreement with her?”

Almost mesmerized by Tang Xi’s smile, the man nodded dully and replied, “Yes, but I think you are more suitable than her. It’s as if this girl perfume series of our company was custom-tailored for you. The moment I saw you enjoying the breeze, I was sure that you would be the best choice for us.”

Tang Xi smiled and said, “As long as you cancel your contract with Xiao Jinning, I agree to shoot this TV commercial, but you can’t reveal my identity.”

By doing this, she could slap Xiao Jinning hard in the face, and more importantly, she could earn three million Yuan. Her Wealth Point was too low. With the money, it would be much more convenient for her.

At this thought, Tang Xi felt that she didn’t mind shooting this TV commercial.

“Rourou, are you serious? If you don’t have enough pocket money, I can give the money to you. Why do you want to do a TV commercial?” Xiao Jing didn’t want his beautiful sister to be exposed in public.

Tang Xi knew her Face Point hadn’t reached its peak, so she didn’t worry about being recognized by other people after shooting the TV commercial. She patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder and said, “Jing, I’m not doing it for the three million Yuan. Didn’t you hear what he said? Someone wants this job very much.”

Xiao Sa nodded and said, “I remember that Aunt was walking on air for a long time after Xiao Jinning won this job. As OLS is very picky about their advertising models, she was so proud of Xiao Jinning. I support Rourou on taking this job to give a lesson to her and Xiao Jinning!

Xiao Jing was still reluctant. He wished he could hide his gorgeous sister in his pocket every day to protect her from those covetous eyes of others. He really didn’t want her to appear on TV and entertain the public!

Realizing she couldn’t persuade Xiao Jing, Tang Xi could only turn her eyes to Xiao Yao, who hadn’t expressed his views, and she said sweetly, “Yao, I think you can understand me.”

Although Xiao Yao was a tough guy, he wouldn’t treat his dear sister as he treated his brothers, so he immediately surrendered, turned his eyes to the advertising director and asked him with great seriousness, “We require not revealing any information of our sister, including her name. Can you accept this?”

Glad to see that they finally agreed to Tang Xi shooting the TV commercial, the man quickly replied with a nod, “Of course, you have my words. We’ll use X to call her. If you don’t have any problems, please go to our company with me and sign the contract!”

He really wanted to show the model he found to his colleagues right away.

However, Tang Xi shook her head. “No, I hope I’ll get signed on after you cancel the contract with Xiao Jinning.”

Thinking her request reasonable, the man immediately nodded. “Okay, I’ll go back to discuss this matter with my colleagues and cancel the contract with Shengda Entertainment. Can you give me your phone number? Then I can contact you when we get ready for signing the contract.”

Tang Xi found that she had still yet to have a cell phone to this day, so she looked innocently at Xiao Jing. The latter snorted reluctantly and told the man his phone number. “Don’t call me if not necessary!”

In this way, Tang Xi took her first TV commercial from Xiao Jinning.

Watching the man happily walking away with the camera, Tang Xi lay back down on the grass and began to doze. Suddenly, the man rushed back, handed his business card to her and smiled shyly as he said, “My name is He Wanning. Nice to meet you.”
