Chapter 132 The First Ambassador of the Big H District
The room was abuzz, with everyone not quite sure of what they were seeing in front of them as they clicked on the trending topic. They saw the official Twitter of Tilans had just announced Jessica as their ambassador, accompanied by a photo of Jessica.
Jessica hadn't intended to check the Twitter but suddenly noticed the various looks directed towards her.
Surprise, admiration and disbelief!
Even Deborah, after hearing a few whispered words from the assistant running in, picked up her phone. At that moment, her face suddenly contorted, making her once exquisite face appear unexpectedly unattractive.
Only then did Jessica remember what Mackenzie had said yesterday.
Remember to check the Twitter at ten o'clock today.
Before she could pick up her phone, someone nearby exclaimed softly, "Jessica, Tilans actually chose you as their ambassador."
In that sentence, there was still an air of disbelief.
As if wanting to ask Jessica involved, how did this happen?
Tilans, the high-end domestic skincare brand, has never partnered with any local entertainment stars. It's a true gem of domestic products! Jessica was at a loss.
She quickly opened the Twitter to take a look. Although Mackenzie's words yesterday had prepared her somewhat, she still found it hard to believe.
As the person involved, she had no idea at all!
At that moment, Mackenzie's message came through on WhatsApp.
Mackenzie: [Have you checked the Twitter?]
Jessica lowered her eyes to reply on WhatsApp, not revealing her doubts and astonishment, quickly typing on the phone screen.
Jessica: [How could Tilans possibly choose me?]
Mackenzie: [I only finalized this yesterday. I didn't want to affect your mood while filming before the official announcement, so I kept it a secret. Also, these official announcements need to be timed carefully. Today is the only auspicious day within a month for the announcement. It was rushed, so I didn't have time to call you for the official photoshoot. I just used some of the good promotional photos you took at the studio last month.]
Mackenzie: [There's something very important. Next week, you must take two days to go to Tilans's planning department to shoot an advertisement, which will be more formal than today's announcements. I heard that your look was personally designed by Arever, a top international stylist, and even the photography team is cream of the crop. After the post-production of the advertisement is done, it will be launched globally at the most suitable time.]
Jessica was puzzled.
Mackenzie had spoken so much, seemingly not noticing Jessica's numerous question marks filled with shock and confusion on WhatsApp.
Finally, Mackenzie glanced at the question marks Jessica sent and called her, "Aren't you filming? I thought you were about to start filming, so I just messaged you on WhatsApp."
Jessica asked the makeup artist behind her to help her get her clothes and then replied, "Not yet, but it's coming soon. Didn't KC just refuse me? What's going on with Tilans? Besides the few words you told me yesterday, I hadn't heard anything before. How did such a big thing happen so suddenly?"
"This matter is hard to explain for now, but it's quite a coincidence. Just in the afternoon, when KC announced Deborah, I was so upset that my heart hurt, and I went back to the studio to rest in the evening, right? It was that evening when Tilans suddenly contacted me. At that moment, I felt like I was dreaming. It was unbelievable! It wasn't until they invited me over yesterday that I walked into Tilans's domestic branch office and met their leader, and I found a sense of reality! So, surprised or not?"
Jessica said, "It's a pleasant surprise, but for the moment, astonishment seems to prevail."
Mackenzie understood Jessica well. No matter how big the matter, as soon as it came to filming, she would immediately suppress all emotions and immerse herself completely in the role and storyline. So, it wasn't appropriate to say too much now to affect her current state.
"In any case, Tilans is very reliable and sincere. Let's talk more when you return to the studio tonight. For now, focus on filming."
The makeup artist had already prepared the clothes Jessica would wear later and was waiting for her in the dressing room. Jessica put down the phone, and as her gaze swept around, everyone was looking at her with curiosity.
She composed herself well, walked towards the dressing room, and paused for a second as she passed by Deborah.
It was in that split second of eye contact with Deborah that she saw something crumbling in Deborah's eyes, a moment of resentment and disbelief, crystal clear.
The gossiping voices in the makeup room were not loud, but occasionally, a few voices stood out due to their astonishment.
"Tilans's ambassadors over the years have all been A-list Western stars, right? They are so popular domestically, but they have never invited domestic female stars before. How did Jessica manage to get this? What's her background?"
"This is the first ambassador of the Big H District, and it's a full lineup, am I not mistaken? The Twitter just announced that the Big H District is fully endorsed, right?"
"Yes, it's not just simple masks and creams. It's indeed a full endorsement."
"No wonder Jessica has never been shy in front of Deborah and Trinity. Her background is really powerful."
"Oh, my goodness! look! Deborah just posted a Twitter an hour ago. Tilans announcing at this time, is it openly supporting Jessica against Deborah?"
Deborah suddenly remembered what she had done before entering the makeup room and hurried to delete the Twitter, but it was already too late.
Jessica heard the commotion around her, walked towards the dressing room, and picked up her phone again.
She found Deborah's Twitter and saw that Deborah had posted a mention of her an hour ago.
The gist was that Deborah had made a new good friend on set, Jessica. Deborah believed Jessica was a very promising newcomer despite having no work or fame. She humbly requested all passing advertisers to give Jessica a chance and allocate some better business resources to her.
This Twitter, in a positive light, was Deborah trying to seek resources for her friend. However, the method was wrong, lacking in emotional intelligence, putting Jessica in a very awkward position.
To put it bluntly, Deborah unilaterally used the Twitter to ask for resources for Jessica, praising her openly while subtly belittling her, making it widely known that Jessica had no business resources or any usable value, intending to mock her in front of her fans.
In the capital market, no one would care about a diligent and hardworking poor soul. Only results and influence speak. If you lack both, you can be directly blocklisted.
However, Deborah didn't expect that while she was trying to push Jessica into the invisible blocklist of the capital market, Tilans's official Twitter directly made Deborah a fool.!
