It was a busy summer season for Jennie.

She was currently one of the most in demand celebrities in the country. Her status as a multi-award-winning musician and as a genius polyglot increased her fame and reputation. There was no doubt that she successfully established herself as a household name across the country.

Several multi-million endorsement deals were offered to her. Of course, she accepted some of them but also rejected a lot. The Bright Summit higher-ups couldn't understand why she would reject such enticing deals. Despite doing their best in persuading her to change her mind, she didn't budge.

The higher-ups were dismayed that they couldn't reason with Jennie. So they scolded Alison instead when Jennie wasn't present.

"Manager Alison, I think Jennie's head is growing bigger because she's becoming more famous. These endorsement deal offers are from world-renowned beauty brands! Other celebrities will do anything just to get these deals, but she's rejecting them?! She should treat these as once in a lifetime opportunities. Anything can happen in showbiz. She won't always have this level of fame for her entire career! You should talk to her and make her understand what she's going to miss because of her ignorance."

Alison could only apologize, nod her head, and assure the higher-ups that she would talk to Jennie and try to persuade her to change her mind. When they finally left, she sighed.

"Of course Jennie isn't going to accept any endorsement offers from beauty brands. Why should she endorse her own company's competition?" Alison muttered under her breath.

She only recently found out that Jennie was developing her own beauty company. At first, Alison also couldn't understand why Jennie rejected the endorsement offers. She constantly bothered Jennie in an effort to change her mind.

Then Jennie brought Alison to Orchidia Beauty's factory, then to the warehouse, and finally to the company's current main office. Alison was very confused why Jennie was touring her around this unknown company.

"I've been using Orchidia Beauty's products for some time now," Jennie told her.

"Oh? I was wondering why you've been glowing, so that's why! Your skin looks smoother and healthier."

Jennie looked pleased at the compliment. "I've been using Orchidia Beauty's skincare products since I returned from Europe. Well, the products weren't called Orchidia Beauty then, nor were they this developed. The formula and their effectiveness have improved a lot since then."

"Okay... So? Why are you telling me all of these?" Alison didn't understand. "Wait... Did this company made an endorsement offer to you and you want to accept it? Jennie, you should tell me these things first. If you really like their products, no problem. I'll negotiate the best deal for you. But you have to understand that this Orchidia Beauty or whatever isn't a well-known company in the country. At least I've never heard of it before. Endorsing world-renowned beauty brands will be more beneficial to you."

Instead of answering her, Jennie handed her manager a freebie bag filled with Orchidia Beauty skincare products.

"Here, Ali. You can try them yourself. I guarantee that you'll love them and you'll see results after using them for only a few days."

Then she launched into sales talk, describing the benefits of each of the products. She even grabbed Alison's arm and began applying tiny amounts of various lotions and serums.

"Jennie! What are you doing? Answer me first!" Alison grabbed the bottle of lotion from Jennie and stopped her from applying more on her skin.

"Fine. Orchidia Beauty didn't make any endorsement offers to me," Jennie said.
