Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Spokesperson Selection for the Coral Sea Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Spokesperson Selection for the Coral Sea Huang Ruanting finished speaking, and the crowd around couldn’t help but snicker out loud.
Even more people mocked, “I went to the same high school as her, and I heard she signed up for a dance at the school’s cultural evening. She learned it two months in advance specifically, but it was as bad as dog shit when she performed, made everyone laugh their heads off.”
“As if she could dance, pigs would fly first! Ranran’s dancing is so beautiful, it would be great if she could get the audition for the ‘Coral Sea’ dance endorsement. I really want to see her shine on stage.”
“There’s a chance, I’ve heard that representatives from the ‘Coral Sea’ perfume project will come to our school and the neighboring media school to scout for new talent. They want someone with an innocence like Bai Xue, the feeling of first love. I think Su Ran would be perfect for the image.”
While the people around whispered, Jiang Nanshu didn’t pay much attention.
But she did hear “Coral Sea.”
In the book, this perfume endorsement was indeed secured by Su Ran.
Her appearance was highly suitable in every aspect.
The new drama with the “Coral Sea” advertising endorsement secured her a spot in Jiang Yisen’s vision.
She remembered that in the book, the two met at a social event. The ad didn’t generate much sales on the first day it was broadcast.
But Su Ran, who stunned Jiang Yisen at first sight, made him invest money and resources afterward, helping her gain even more popularity and earn the title ‘National First Love.’
And this Huang Ruanting, she was a close girlfriend Su Ran had known since high school. Ruanting had contributed a lot to Su Ran’s performing career. Being from a wealthy family, she ended up being Su Ran’s biggest fan and earned a fortune.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu standing silently, Huang Ruanting mistook it for hitting a sore spot and felt somewhat triumphant, “Nothing to say, right? That’s all you can do, rely on others to protect you; otherwise, you are completely useless.”
Jiang Nanshu raised her eyes, her eyes curling into a bright, blossoming smile, “What did you just say? Could you repeat that?”
Huang Ruanting sneered coldly, “I said if you can dance, I’ll stream myself eating shit! Can’t you understand?”
Jiang Nanshu shook her mobile phone and replayed Huang Ruanting’s recorded words.
The voice was so loud that the entire stadium could hear it.
She smacked her lips, satisfied, “I’m keeping evidence for your live shit-eating opportunity later.”
Huang Ruanting: “?”
Then she walked away to the side.
Huang Ruanting saw that Jiang Nanshu made no movement and thought she was just making idle threats. Smirking disdainfully, she ignored her and said to Su Ran, “Ranran, go teach the freshman how to do ballet. That’s your strongest dance, and it will show certain shortsighted people what dancing really is.”
Su Ran, wearing her dance shoes and a pristine white dress, began dancing as Huang Ruanting played “Swan Lake,” and the gentle, beautiful music gradually filled the air.
Su Ran danced gracefully to the music. Her movement was soft and beautiful, leaving the freshmen spellbound. They watched mesmerized, realizing that to be so flexible, she must have practiced from a young age.
Next to the big windows of the gym, the Jing University Principal arrived with a man in a business suit.
The two stopped walking, and the Jing University Principal listened to the elegant music, admiring the immaculate dance. Every one of Su Ran’s movements was like that of a graceful swan, admiration in his eyes.
“Mr. Fang, many of our dance students practice here a lot of the time. This ballet is truly beautiful to watch.”
The young man known as Mr. Fang turned his head to look inside.
The white dress paired with elegant dance moves was as pure as moonlight, truly reminiscent of a beautiful first love.
He nodded slightly, that was exactly the image he wanted for the new “Coral Sea” series he was pushing.
He was after that sense of purity, which calmed the mind and took one back to the cleanliness of first love.
After the dance, he already had an idea in his mind.
Jing University Principal saw the satisfied look on his face and knew he had brought the right person.
Although Su Ran had just arrived, she was still a student at his institution, rounding up to be a source of glory for her alma mater.
Just as Jing University Principal was about to lead Mr. Fang away, the next moment his cell phone rang.
He apologized with a smile, “Mr. Fang, please excuse me for a few minutes. I need to take this call.”
Fang Minghe made a “please” gesture.
And so, Jing University Principal stepped aside to talk on the phone.
Fang Minghe was about to avert his gaze when he saw a young girl in a red dress walk into the center. She was stunningly attractive and far from the pure and sweet type.
She had a strong and vivid beauty, one that was mesmerizing even without makeup. At least, among all the beauties he had seen, she had reached a pinnacle of this intense beauty.
He noticed that the surrounding people looked at her as if she were some clown craving attention, with contempt in their eyes.
But the girl in the red dress wasn’t annoyed at all; instead, she graciously curtsied, as if to thank all the onlookers present.
The next moment, “Crowning Ceremony Waltz” slowly began to play.
Unlike the graceful and slow “Swan Lake,” this piece’s rhythm was fast and brimming with passion.
It was also a rarity on the stage.
As the girl danced to the music, the mockery in the room instantly turned into astonishment and disbelief.
Fang Minghe’s gaze shifted from casual to admiring.
It was truly beautiful.
He had never seen anyone dance ballet with such a breathtaking intensity.
It was as if this wasn’t just a bustling event, but her own garden where she danced freely.
The flamboyant red dress was like a blooming rose, full of life and warmth.
She was not the incarnation of first love but rather a mandrake leading one down to hell.
It wasn’t until the dance was over that Jing University Principal returned, “Mr. Fang, have you decided on a spokesperson?”
His voice brought Fang Minghe back to reality, his gaze still lingering on the girl in the red dress.
This was—a born dancer.
He could feel the blood in his body raging, demanding that he make her the face of “Coral Sea,” even if her image didn’t align with the brand’s pure essence.
Who could say?
Couldn’t first love also be flamboyant, passionate, and deeply etched into one’s memory?
Fang Minghe took a deep breath, curbed the impulse to rush forward, and steadied his voice to ask, “What’s her name?”
Jing University Principal followed his gaze to Jiang Nanshu.
Seeing his intent look, the principal automatically ignored Jiang Nanshu standing next to Su Ran and introduced her with pride, “Her name is Su Ran. She’s also a star—an excellent one at acting, singing, and dancing. I’ve even appointed her as a ‘practice teacher’ at our school. She has limitless potential.”
“Su Ran?” Fang Minghe repeated softly.
After a moment, he drew out a gentle smile, “That’s her. I’ll trouble the Principal to hand her the ‘Coral Sea’ endorsement audition contract later on. About half a month from now, the new series will start filming, and we’ll need to launch it in a month. This is my first time using a newcomer. Please pass her my contact information later on; I would like to have a talk with her. I’m a bit busy now, so I won’t linger any longer.”
Jing University Principal smiled with his face full of creases, “Of course, of course. Mr. Fang, rest assured, she certainly won’t disappoint you.”
