Chapter 175 - 173: Why Bother Asking Me?
When they were halfway through their meal, a few guests gradually came into the wonton shop, making it no longer as quiet as when they first arrived.Hearing a child’s clamorous voice, Elliana instinctively turned her head to look back.
A little girl with twin ponytails was being dragged in by her mother, loudly demanding to eat spicy chicken wings.
"Eat what nonsense! Eating spicy chicken wings in the early morning."
"I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Like several other diners, Elliana was watching the commotion, although the little girl’s screeching voice was somewhat annoying.
The little girl was crying and stomping around in circles but stopped in surprise when she saw her, even her screams came to an abrupt halt.
"Mom, that person looks like Christine Grey."
The little girl pointed at her, instantly turning her from a spectator into part of the spectacle.
Christine Grey is the name of the protagonist in South Wind Song, anyone who has seen South Wind Song knows a thing or two.
A young girl in a white dress adjusted her glasses, scrutinized carefully, and said to her sister beside her: "Sis, it’s Elliana Lyle! A celebrity!"
"Get an autograph and take a photo!"
Elliana: "..."
...
"Look here, make a peace sign."
Elliana cooperated, making a peace sign to the camera, while Tiana, being not widely known, was also called away by the girl with glasses.
In the end, Tiana could only hold her wonton and eat at another table.
"I’m Dilla, just say ’Dilla is super pretty’ and that’s it."
This girl named Dilla had already taken several photos with her, finally even demanding a video.
The girl in the white dress with glasses started shooting videos of her and Dilla.
Though a bit awkward, she still uttered the words "Dilla is super pretty."
But indeed, it felt a bit insincere; Dilla seemed to have undergone too much plastic surgery—she appeared quite pretty on camera, but in person, was rather rigid, and her heavy makeup made her face look very unclean.
Actually, the girl with glasses looked more natural.
However, she wouldn’t comment on that.
After filming, the girl with glasses showed them the video.
Elliana was stunned at the first glance, she had no idea she appeared with a sharp chin, her eyes bulged like copper bells, looking overall quite odd.
"Oh dear! Elliana, your words seem so stiff, could you take it seriously, aren’t you an actress?" Dilla complained with a frown, seemingly throwing a tantrum.
Then Dilla deleted the video, turning to the girl with glasses: "Let’s film it again."
Elliana: "..."
Wanting to escape from these two, she followed the arrangements this time earnestly, still able to endure as of now.
After watching, Dilla shook her head again: "It’s okay, but say a few more words, make it look genuine, you’re an actress, do I have to teach you?"
Hey! Do you have no manners? Elliana slightly clenched her fist; she couldn’t stand it anymore.
Kindly cooperating, yet being pointed fingers at, this might be a hater.
Her face turned cold, she put on a mask and directly said: "Sorry, I have something else, I’ll be leaving first."
"Hey! We haven’t finished filming, where are you going?" Dilla grabbed her wrist tightly, her slightly protruding eyes looked a bit scary.
The girl with glasses just watched, not saying a word, like a little follower.
The little girl who had originally fussed about eating spicy chicken wings was now enjoying her wonton, drinking soup while watching the trio in the corner.
The little girl’s mother scolded: "Eat your food, what’s there to watch, all showing off, not proper at all."
A man in a tracksuit eating wonton at another table also just took a few extra glances.t seems to have secretly carried out the operation, and today Melody Harmony’s official site also released a flood of coupons, the number of people placing deposits is continually soaring." Cari said as she lowered her head; Nathan’s anger made her secretly pleased.
After a while, the person on the sofa remained silent, with a cold expression seeming lost in thought.
Cari spoke: "Vice President, although changing the packaging can allow for release, the products are the same, everyone bought one already, presumably..."
The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes bore a captivating chill, but upon meeting Cari’s gaze, the chill noticeably waned.
Now, he found himself reluctant to scold this woman.
Thus, he suppressed his anger and said: "This matter was handed to you, and you botched it."
Cari bowed, lowering her posture: "Sorry, Vice President, I didn’t handle it well."
"Do you have any remedial measures?"
Cari said: "Yes, just changing the gimmick will do, although such deceptive actions are detrimental to White Orchid, they can minimize Roland’s losses."
After listening, the man sarcastically remarked: "Do you know Roland might lose a partner? How can you become increasingly foolish?"
"Since the Vice President thinks I’m foolish, there’s no need to ask me, just handle it yourself, why bother asking?"
