84 The Inexplicable Spokesperson
The Li family was still focused on the food. After all, they had been deprived of good and fulfilling meals since the time they stepped into the Lan Village.
Li Zexin took a big bite of the red braised meat. âMy God!â What kind of delicious flavor is this?! Why didnât I know red braised pork was this delicious before?â
Li Zekai liked shrimp. The chef was very good. He probably knew about the children of the five families. He had specially peeled the shrimp and fried it with corn. The shrimp meat was delicious. Li Zekai had been drooling ever since he had seen the shrimp on the dinner table. The moment they were allowed to eat, Li Zekai scooped a huge among into his bowl.
Li Zexuan had been controlling his diet at night. However, when he thought about the food that Li Yanchen had been cooking for the past few days, he decided that he would eat till he was full today, no matter what.
Lin Wan was still thinking about the agreement and the matter of the hostâs high school. When she saw the plates of delicious food on the table, she did not have any appetite, at least not until she could take her revenge for the original Lin Wan.
Li Yanchen had been eating the food that he had cooked himself for the past few days. Besides the fish and meat, he took huge scoops of vegetables for the meal.
The five of them didnât seem to hear what the director said and buried their heads in their hands.
âDirector, please do tell. Iâm hanging on to my last breath. My heart is in my throat,â Xia Mo urged.
âBefore that, I would like to say to the families who didnât get selected to not be discouraged. Our program will have brands and companies wanting to recruit people from time to time. Maybe you will be selected next time. As for the family that did get selected, be prepared. Everyone, you have done a good job regardless. Keep it up! The Lan Shan Shui group will contact you and confirm the shoot.â The director was still holding them in suspense.
âDirector, hurry up and say it.â Beads of sweat began to form on Michaelâs forehead.
[Thereâs a result for the spokesperson of Lan Shan Shui. Ah, Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan!]
[Needless to say, itâs definitely Wheatleyâs family. Everyone saw it this morning, Wheatleyâs family is the most loving.]
[Xuanxuanâs house is the most realistic. Wheatleyâs family obviously posed for it.]
[Which eye of yours saw Wheatleyâs family posing? If it isnât Wheatleyâs family, it means thereâs a conspiracy.]
[What a joke! The Li family is much better than Wheatleyâs family. Wheatley is the one whoâs in the dark.]
[Donât you guys support the top student? Top student is not bad as well.]
[Thereâs also Ananâs family. Itâs still better than joining them halfway through.]
[Are you looking down on the new family? Thereâs a lot of chaos in a family. People will have their moments of darkness and happiness.]
[Happiness like Tutuâs family? Or like Li Zexuanâs family? What a joke!]
The fans of the five families started arguing on the bullet screen.
âThe family chosen for the endorsement is Li Zexuanâs family!â
Everyone looked at the Li family seated in the middle of the table.
Li Zexuanâs cowpea hung from his lips. âWhat?â
âLet us all congratulate Li Zexuanâs family.â The director was the first to applaud. The staff followed with their claps.
Xia Mo stood up. âCongratulations!â she said happily. âYou deserve this.â
Nannan and Song Jing looked at each other. Michael kicked Nannan lightly on her leg. She forced a smile. âCongratulations!â
Song Jingâs eyes also narrowed. âThe School Belle really is a School Belle. Congratulations!â
Lin Wan chewed on her food a few more times before swallowing it. âThey chose five people to endorse their product?â
Li Yanchenâs chopsticks fell to the ground. His entire family had forgotten about this when they were busy with their tasks. âHow did we manage to get the endorsement?â Even he suspected whether someone had pulled some strings on their behalf.
âIt was only a matter of time. You worked hard! Letâs continue with our food, shall we?â said the director as he took his seat with a smile.
[Itâs really Xuanxuanâs family. I knew it! Why would they randomly choose an endorsement? Xuanxuanâs popularity is the highest, so he is definitely a good choice!]
[Shady business. Wheatleyâs family was just a sidekick. Lan Shan Shui is the same as other brands, they only choose popular celebrities.]
[The person above is really jealous. The whole concept of Lan Shan Shui is to do with naturality and originality. Wheatleyâs family always rehearses before they do anything. Where is the originality in that?]
[What about the top student? Everyoneâs image is just alright. Wouldnât it be more realistic and fairer if celebrities werenât chosen?]
[This is the Lan Shan Shui groupâs decision. You can ask them about it. I think Xuanxuanâs family earned this because of what they went through.]
[A fence-sitter always ends up falling for both sides. You guys were the ones who criticized Lin Wan back then. Now, you guys are also the ones supporting them.]
[If Xuanxuan has a conflict with others, we will side with Xuanxuan. If the Xuanxuan family has a conflict with others, we will side with the Xuanxuan family. Do you understand?]
[Li Zexuan has many loyal dogs. I wonât drink a sip of water from the Lan Shan Shui brand. Goodbye.]
[Wow. A threat? Lan Shan Shui brand doesnât need you to drink their water. You arenât even worthy, and it will make no difference in their sales.]
A violation warning soon appeared in the live broadcast room.
[If you guys want to continue watching, then use positive energy. The result is already there. Just accept it and move on.]
â¦
Everyone had a lot on their minds during the meal, especially Nannan. If the camera was not facing the table, she would have left after the director announced the results. She vividly remembered the Li familyâs attire in the morning. It was fine that the costumes were not uniform, but the five of them sat in a row on the top of the mountain. There was no tacit understanding between them at all.
Song Jing was also very unhappy. Lan Shan Shui had always paid attention to the spokespersonâs word of mouth. With the Li family members, each one was more capable than the other. Even when Lin Wan had been criticized so many times and had ended up in the hot search, they actually chose the Li family to be their spokesperson. Song Jing didnât mind being rejected but she felt that the most suitable candidate had been Nannan and her family.
Xu Xiaoxiao didnât participate in the mission, so the result didnât matter to her. She just wanted to finish her meal and go back.
Only Xia Mo was happy for Lin Wan from the bottom of her heart. Lin Wan caught the expressions on everyoneâs faces. Their fake smiles were very apparent to her, especially Song Jingâs.
Although she was not interested in the endorsement, Lin Wan still felt like she should say something. âWe didnât do much, so I think we donât really deserve this spot. However, since we have been chosen, we will do our best to work hard.â
[Lin Wanâs too much. Sheâs trying her best to look worried. Look, the Xuanxuan family doesnât want to fight for it. They got lucky.]
[Itâs easier said than done.]
[Lin Wanâs words are infuriating.]
[Lin Wan, if you know how to talk, then say more.]
[How ironic! Who was the one who wanted Lin Wan to not appear in the livestream?]
[You said that was in the past. Itâs different now. Why? Are you not convinced?]
[Everyone, please stop arguing. If you get another warning, the broadcast will shut down.]
...
[Tskâ¦]
âThank you so much, everyone. We are very grateful,â said Li Yanchen.
Li Zexuan was speechless. So was Li Zexin. Li Yanchen had never even agreed to an interview, so why was he accepting endorsement deals?
Very quickly, the news of Li Zexuanâs family securing the endorsement deal for Lan Shan Shui became a hot topic.
Assistant Qin saw the news after work and called Secretary Han. âSecretary Han, has the boss gone mad? Doesnât he care about the company anymore? Is he preparing to leave the company in the young masterâs hands? Look at the video, he says he is grateful to be chosen!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDid he realize that being a celebrity sounds better than being a businessman? Maybe he wants to do it for his sons. Maybe as a team?â Secretary Han was just as confused.
