Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were deeply aware that their sister no longer took herself as an outsider to the family, but knew how to make use of her backer, which they were quite glad to see.

Tang Xi knew they wouldn't mind being 'used' by her, so she didn't intend to hide it from them, but she was still a little embarrassed to see the proud look on their faces. "I'm going back to class."

After going back to school, Tang Xi was respectfully sent to the classroom by the principal himself. It was still the experimental class, but the head teacher was changed to Mr. He, He Mu'an, who had helped Tang Xi today. Tang Xi was surprised, but didn't say anything; she would not intervene in the school's affairs. Since the principal decided to appoint Mr. He as the head teacher of the experimental class, it meant that he recognized his ability, so she would not say anything. Besides, she personally thought that Mr. He was more suitable for the position.

Tang Xi went back to class, and her classmates all whispered to each other, guessing at her identity. She had been called to the office of Ms. Cao, who had looked quite angry at that time. That was why they had guessed that Tang Xi had made some mistake, which was why Ms. Cao was so mad at her. Given the fact that Ms. Cao had expelled students before, Tang Xi would probably be expelled from the school too, or so they thought. To their surprise, however, she came back safe and sound.

Tang Xi didn't know what they were thinking. She sat down, asked her deskmate what lessons and contents the students had had this morning, and then opened her textbook and reviewed the lessons.

Although she was a genius and she was very sure that her IQ was very high, she had no clairvoyant or prophetic ability, so she still needed to read the textbooks.

On the other side of things, Xiao Jinning, who was filming on a set, was shocked and then turned furious upon hearing the news of Ms. Cao's dismissal. She was resting on the set because her scenes were over. Her assistant handed her a bottle of water at this moment, but she nonchalantly smacked the bottle to the floor and looked grimly at Yao Na, asking, "What's the matter? Didn't you say it was one hundred percent safe? Why is that b*stard unscathed yet Cao Aiqian got fired!"

Yao Na shook her head innocently. "I don't know. Normally, for President Liu's sake, the board wouldn't have fired Ms. Cao."

"Sh*t!" Xiao Jinning gave Yao Na a fierce stare. "This matter has nothing to do with me, understand?"

Yao Na looked at Xiao Jinning in fear, and soon nodded under Xiao Jinning's glare. "I know. Whoever asks me about this, I'll tell them it was my idea, not yours."

Xiao Jinning nodded in satisfaction and turned her gaze to the assistant. The assistant looked at her at a loss. Xiao Jinning snapped, "Water! Why are you so stupid?"

The assistant carefully handed her a bottle of water only to be glared by Xiao Jinning again. "Open it!"

The assistant quickly twisted the top off the bottle and handed it to Xiao Jinning. Xiao Jinning grabbed it and took a sip of water. Seeing her behavior, the other people on the set didn't say anything, but raised their eyebrows and pretended they saw nothing.

Xiao Jinning built her image as a gentle and considerate girl who treated her assistant and agent very well. She had a good word of mouth and a lot of good friends, but only those who often worked with her knew what kind of a person she really was. They didn't expose her true colors only because of her identity.

"Look at her! Does she think only her family is rich in the world?" A few actors who were waiting for their scenes gathered and gossiped.

"She is not only rich, but also has a powerful background. Shengda Entertainment is her family's property and her mother is the general manager. Of course she can do whatever she wants."

"Humph. Lin Ru only cares about Xiao Jinning and doesn't pay any attention to the development of the other actors and actresses of the company. Let's wait and see. She is just digging her own grave."

"Well, if Shengda Entertainment wanted to sign you on, would you accept the offer?"

"No, I wouldn't."

"It is easy to despise what you cannot get."

"Okay, there it is. Do you know that today, Xiao Jinning's agent was showing off to my agent that Xiao Jinning got OLS's perfume advertisement endorsement this season? Her status in the fashion industry will greatly improve."

"OLS? That's the largest luxury goods agent in China. The latest Magic Butterfly perfume was developed exclusively by them and they took it very seriously. They invited Xiao Jinning to serve as the endorser?" A short-haired actress asked, "Is it true?"

At this time, a beautiful and graceful-looking girl came over. She was the supporting female of the TV play. Just like Xiao Jinning, she was also an A-lister. She had started her career as an actress many years ago. She usually played female leads in movies, and rarely did TV plays. This time, she agreed to do this TV play because her role was not a villain. Besides, she and the director were good friends, so she had accepted this job out of friendship.

She looked at the girls who were gossiping and said with a straight face, "You'd better study how to act rather than gossip about other people here. One day, you'll also be able to get a lot of advertisement endorsements just like her."

The actresses wanted to retort, but when they looked up and saw who she was, they all greeted her, "Hello, Sister Wanyi."

He Wanyi nodded and looked at the actresses as she asked, "Xiao Jinning said she is the endorser of OLS' latest perfume, Magic Butterfly?"

He Wanyi was twenty-five years old now. She was not gorgeous, but looked comely and graceful. However, no one dared to take her lightly. Upon being asked a question by her, the actress dared not lie. "Well, my agent just told me not to mess with Xiao Jinning. We can't afford her taking revenge."

He Wanyi hadn't liked Xiao Jinning since her debut because she thought the latter was a hypocritical double dealer. Hearing the news, she sneered and walked towards Xiao Jinning.

Her brother was the director of OLS' advertising department. He had told her that he didn't like Xiao Jinning, who was selected as the endorser by his staff, and was going to replace her with someone else. At that time, she had jokingly asked her brother whether she could be the one to replace her, but her brother, disregarding her feelings, had shook his head and replied, "No, you don't fit the theme of Magic Butterfly."

She asked, "Does Xiao Jinning fit it?"

Her brother answered with disdain, "She's even more inappropriate, but I'll soon find the right endorser and cancel the contract with Xiao Jinning."

As far as she knew, the theme of Magic Butterfly was 'dream'. Nowadays, the entertainment industry was almost full of artificial faces, and many stars were previously Internet celebrities. Though there were several natural beauties, they weren't suitable for the theme of Magic Butterfly.
