h4Chapter 175: Chapter 173: Why Bother Asking Me?/h4

    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 morous 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 themotion, 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 sses, 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 sses.

    In the end, Tiana could only hold her wonton and eat at another table.

    "I’m Di, just say ’Di is super pretty’ and that’s it."

    This girl named Di had already taken several photos with her, finally even demanding a video.

    The girl in the white dress with sses started shooting videos of her and Di.

    Though a bit awkward, she still uttered the words "Di is super pretty."

    But indeed, it felt a bit insincere; Di seemed to have undergone too much stic 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 sses looked more natural.

    However, she wouldn’tment on that.

    After filming, the girl with sses showed them the video.

    Elliana was stunned at the first nce, 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?" Diined with a frown, seemingly throwing a tantrum.

    Then Di deleted the video, turning to the girl with sses: "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, Di 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?" Di grabbed her wrist tightly, her slightly protruding eyes looked a bit scary.

    The girl with sses 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 nces.

    The entire wonton shop had just these two women pestering her; she must have forgotten to check her luck calendar before heading out today.

    Hearing Elliana say she was leaving, Tiana knew Elliana was fed up with these two.

    She put down her spoon, walked directly in front of Elliana, and grabbed Di’s "assaulting" hand, saying: "Let go!"

    Di didn’t resist too much, red at them, then released, saying contemptuously: "What’s so great, I have ten million followers on my ount."

    "Elliana, let’s go, don’t mind her." Tiana said and pulled her out of the wonton shop.

    Walking in the square, Elliana was still rubbing her aching wrist; Di’s nails were too sharp, almost tearing her skin.

    Originally, she wanted to teach Di a lesson, but with Tiana’s arrival, she held back.

    The people under her, including Li Si, are not to be messed with.

    Seeing her mood wasn’t great, Tiana smiled and said: "Such people obviously aren’t fans, purely trying to hog some spotlight, she’ll probably upload your video soon, don’t know what kind of caption she’ll pair it with."

    These words indicated Tiana’s concern, meaning Di might smear her.

    "Psh, should I fear her? If she dares to mess around, I can get her banned." She also noticed that Di’s tform was Radiant Light’s short video app.

    Such confident words made Tiana a bit envious; as of now, no one can recognize her, she doesn’t have to wear a mask like Elliana when walking on the street.

    To alleviate the atmosphere, Tiana brought up a topic: "Elliana, I heard the script ising out tomorrow, supposedly shooting will start soon."

    "Mm-hmm, let’s practice together when the timees."

    ...

    ―――North City Rnd branch.

    Nathan Dawn received news today that Melody Harmony held a productunch ahead of schedule by over ten days.

    This move disrupted his entire n, even causing him substantial financial loss!

    Theunch of White Orchid’s new product could not proceed as scheduled, due to not only packaging and nning issues but also productposition.

    Initially, even if theposition fell short of Melody Harmony, it could use giarism usations to catch Melody Harmony off guard and even take them to court.

    But now, nothing woulde of it.

    In the OEM factory, bulk goods all require packaging changes, which will be another significant expense.

    What unsettles him further is the suspicion Melody Harmony acquired some insider knowledge, prompting such early action.

    "Vice President, they said they don’t know why it’s so many days ahead, Norman Bet 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 cing 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 Rnd’s losses."

    After listening, the man sarcastically remarked: "Do you know Rnd might lose a partner? How can you be increasingly foolish?"

    "Since the Vice President thinks I’m foolish, there’s no need to ask me, just handle it yourself, why bother asking?"
