Sugar And Spice: The CEO’s Feisty Wife Chapter 208
Advertisement
The audience clapped loudly for Ru Shishi. Then the woman who asked the question to Ru Shishi now turned to Feng Xinying, "Miss Xinying, it is rumored that you hardly struggled to achieve what you have right now. The role that you got for the movie was initially offered to Miss Ru Shishi and that you have snatched this role from her. Also you don't have any other movie other than The Golden Flower and that too because Lu Dao was benevolent to you."
Feng Xinying had her doubts about the woman when she asked the question to Ru Shishi about her job offers because in such talent shows people never asked for that kind of stuff. They were limited to asking trivial things like "can you sing",
can you dance" or "how do you feel?"
After the woman asked those questions, Feng Xinying was sure that she was someone Ru Shishi must have hired. Since it was a live show, Feng Xinying had to be very careful in answering. "Let me answer you one by one," she replied with a lovely smile.
"Yes, I have been lucky to be offered a role in Lu Dao's movie. He had offered me the role long back and waited for my answer for almost two months before I confirmed to him that I would act in his movie. So the role was already in my lap from two months."
The audience gasped. It was highly unlikely that a director like Lu Dao would wait for so long just to cast Feng Xinying in his movie. They didn't believe her.
Feng Xinying looked at Wu Bosun and said with a beam, "You can ask Mr. Bosun here. I met Lu Dao in his office for the first time."

"True," replied Wu Bosun captivated by her smile as his heart melted.
Then Feng Xinying turned to the audience again, "What was your next question - that I snatched the role from Miss Ru Shishi? Now, how can that be possible because Miss Ru Shishi had arrived in the town much after the offer was given to me." Feng Xinying looked at Ru Shishi and looked at her in a way that you dare refute me and I will expose your dates of arriving in this town right now.
Ru Shishi lowered her head and softly said, "Yes, that is correct…"
"There, you already have your answer," said Feng Xinying with a chuckle to the audience. "So my request is that you should all stop believing in such rumors otherwise you will create cat-fights between two upcoming actresses for no reason. Who knows we will also grow claws like cats have, if the rumors are to be believed?"
The audience roared with laughter. Feng Xinying came with such a witty answer that even Ru Shishi gave a sheepish smile.
"Now I have to answer your last question," said Feng Xinying looking at that woman again. "Actually, I think instead of telling it from my mouth, let me show you a clip." She signaled the cameraman to play the small CD that she had given him just before she had entered the studio. She had asked him to play it on her cue.
The studio lights became dim and the cameraman started playing it and directed the camera to the video. It was a small clip of an advertisement, which the company had requested her to play as a promo. All audience looked at the clip with bated breaths. There were short clips of Feng Xinying wearing a beautiful pink colored long gown and walking down the path, which was decorated with flowers. She was on a quest to complement herself. The clip stopped showing her lovely face filled with surprise when she saw what she was seeking.

Feng Xinying was looking ethereal. Even the TV channels focused on the ad.
Since it was a live show, the promo stopped at what Xinying was looking for. The company who had shot the ad only wanted to create suspense and then show the full ad the next day.
The audience thought that the cameraman had stopped on purpose. One of them shouted, "Why have you stopped? Please complete it!"
The studio lights came on and people could hear a soft laughter. It was Feng Xinying. "That is a perfume advertisement I am doing," she said with a smile.
The audience broke into murmur. "So beautiful!" So drop-dead gorgeous!"
Suddenly they all started clapping.
Ru Shishi was shocked. When the hell did Feng Xinying even bagged this offer and when did she had a chance to shoot for this advertisement? Here she was waiting for the first shot for either of her two advertisements and Feng Xinying had already finished the first advertisement she had after joining the agency. She looked at the audience that was clapping and then also looked at Wu Bosun who was clapping for her. She could taste something bitter in her mouth and then started clapping slowly with everyone else.
When all of it ended, and Feng Xinying emerged victorious after all the slander that was directed at her, the emcee appreciated her. Then he turned and asked Wu Bosun, "How do you feel about working with a new actress who doesn't have any experience?"
Wu Bosun knew how to handle those situations. "I am glad to see Feng Xinying's dedication for the movie and there is a very nice working relationship between us."
Ru Shishi's face became small.
