It’s clearly favoritism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her career, she doesn’t want to accept Lu Hualiang’s help, she only wants to climb up on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang leaned back, his eyes filled with indulgence and pampering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his tone was businesslike, \"This was the result of the discussions by the advertising department. If you want to know the reason, I can ask them for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Corporation selects a spokesperson, they consider various factors, fame, influence, and development potential all have to be taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they’re selecting next year’s spokesperson, with more emphasis on development potential. Maybe that’s why they chose you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why next year’s spokesperson is being announced now, that’s the advertising department’s decision. I just found out too. Maybe they don’t want anyone to use Lu Corporation for a publicity stunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao opened her mouth slightly. So that’s how it is? She thought Lu Hualiang had opened the back door for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn’t it your decision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang chuckled lightly. It was indeed his decision, but he couldn’t admit it. His wife was too ambitious. Even pampering needed skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but I was the final approver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so that’s how it is,\" Xia Weibao said in a relaxed tone. \"I thought you guys would pick Yan Weiyang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Weiyang’s fame is indeed among the top female celebrities domestically, but her development prospects are weak. She can’t reach a new height, not suitable for Lu Corporation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was so righteous, you couldn’t tell at all there was any favoritism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even praised his wife indirectly, implying that his wife is the best and has the greatest development potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a mastermind really makes a difference. Look how Director Lu made his queen smile sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought it was a bed-won endorsement,\" Xia Weibao joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang’s low laughter echoed, \"Wife, did you sleep with someone? Last night you clearly went to sleep with those two women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was full of mock grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually wanted to play the unspoken rules with her. They say artists who play by the unspoken rules always listen to their benefactors, treating them like gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His situation couldn’t be more different! His family status is worrisome; his wife is his god!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang suddenly thought of a saying, ’Once married, she’s worth nothing.’ His wife has never tried to please him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was embarrassed. What do you mean by ’those two women’? That’s your mother and sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wife, if you think the endorsement came from sleeping, then should we make up for it tonight? You’ve never pleased me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s face turned red, laughing and swearing, \"Get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hualiang had a smile on his lips, \"Alright, even though you’re my wife, work and personal life must be separated. I would never joke about company matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if you want me to mix business with personal, that’s doable too. Use a little charm, and I’ll agree to anything you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement, half-truth and half-lie, was partly due to his bias, but also because she was indeed the most suitable choice for the endorsement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xia Weibao’s abilities, she will definitely surpass Yan Weiyang next year. It’s better to sign her now before her fame goes international, or the endorsement fee may double!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to work decisions, he still has principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if his wife gives him any benefits, taking the blame for losing the empire for beauty wouldn’t be too bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>",613,"2026-06-06T16:22:12.039Z",1,"novelbin.me","3316cd08e48059dd7c3192c2489cc9d60673c08c78ac04a00363684eec793019","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-861","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-859",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
