Chapter 61- Becoming a Spokesperson (2)

She took a screen shot of the official announcement
and clicked into WeChat. But before she clicked send, she went over to check the time.

If he was in Italy, he just might be having dinner with others. Its probably best for her to not disturb him. Xu Lisa put down her cellphone and closed her
eyes to take a break in the car.

Over in Italy, Mu Jungkook was sitting in an old-style conference room and listening to a blonde-haired and blue-eyed european man reporting to him in his not-so-good Chinese.

Mu Jungkook was toying mindlessly with his cellphone and up on the screen was the marketing photo of Xu Lisa for Brand B that was just pushed to him via Weibo.

Xu Lisa in the picture was looking straight at the
camera. There were love in her beautiful eyes and
she was stunningly beautiful.

He reminded him of the countless times when she
had gazed at him. Being looked at by that pair of eyes could make one feel weak and tingly immediately.

He touched her eyes through the screen and thought
to himself: Just what kind of thoughts does she have
beneath those eyes.

He suddenly felt that he started caring about her.

The kind of care that was mixed with some controlling and some peeping tom aspects and some other emotions that was out of his control. It was enough to make him lose his concentration at work.

He shouldn't have feelings like that toward her, but
why was it that he felt so irritated?

He had hugged over during the nights of
thunderstorms.... He wondered what she thought of
that.

Ironically, did it even matter what she thought of him?

They would be strangers again in 6 months.

He meant to make himself feel better by thinking that
there was an end to all this. So why was it that he was getting progressively more unhappy the more he thought about it?

He pulled a cigarette out and lit it up before he looked up to the Italian man and said to him in his perfect Italian, "Why don't you carry on in your mother longue?"

...

Two days later, all the netizens whose jealousy was
rearing its ugly head was still dissing Xu Lisa on
all the major forums.

"What is wrong with all these black fans to need to
scream and shout all over the place just because
their idols didn't get the spot of the spokesperson,"

said Xiao Rose as she flipped through her cellphone
with a pout and an unhappy look. "It's not like if
they diss you hard enough they'd be able to take the
spokesperson's job from you."

"The fans are nothing but weapons. They are only
dissing me because the one responsible pointed them at me. My spokesperson's fees don't come out of their pocket. What are they getting off on?" said Xu Lisa as she casually played with her own nails.

"Did you not see those feel big sisters who wished
they could burn holes on me with their eyes?"

"Lisa-jie, the face slapping moment is here," said
Xiao Rose as she leaned over and hunched over the
laptop computer. "Brand B had just announced their
sales report from Fifth Avenue in the near 48 hours since you had become their new spokesperson. Their sales had gone up by 8% with the set that you wore being the most popular. The earrings were already sold out."

Xu Lisa stuck her head over and took a look. The
data came from Brand B so they were very reliable. She tapped on the laptop screen and said, "Find a couple paid site and have them re-post it. Then contact Fang-jie and have her pay for most trended search - make sure we get into top 3."

"Okay!" Xiao Rose snapped her finger, downloaded
the sales report, and emailed it directly to the
marketing department.

Two hours later, #Brand B and Xu Lisa worked
hand in hand and sales shot up# became the most
searched terms on Weibo.

As the most luxurious jewelry brand in the world,
Brand B's sales amount was closely tied to economic
level. A brand like this almost had nothing to do with
your everyday person. Their demographic was
defined as the top 5% on the financial pyramid.

To be able to gain 8% increase in sale volume given
that was almost an impossible mission.

Yet the truth was laying right out there in front of
everyone's eyes. Ever since Xu Lisa had joined
the big family of spokesperson, the impossible
mission had been accomplished.
