Chapter 219 - Advertising 2

The students who knelt down cried, tears rolling down their cheeks. They lived in the house that Stephanie had rented for them. They did not dare to go out for several days, let alone to order takeout food, because everyone knew that they were ungrateful persons.

Stephanie sighed. "Why don't you eat? Don't you have enough money?" She took the money out of her wallet and handed it over one by one. The students sobbed while touching her fingertips, like little beast wailing.

"We...." The student in the middle looked up, tears hanging on his face. "We want to go to school."

Stephanie was stunned. "Don't you hate going to school?"

"I want to change myself. I want to become someone like you." The student said, "I want to prove that your efforts are not in vain. I want you to know that I will repay your kindness. I want to say sorry to you...." He dropped his head and kowtowed heavily. "I'm sorry."

The others also kowtowed and sobbed. "I'm sorry."

Stephanie's tears fell and she wiped them away. "Alright, I'll contact the school to admit you, arrange accommodation for you, and give you...."

"Don't bother with us. We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives, and we will definitely repay you." The student stood up, bowed deeply to her with a pale face, and then left.

The other students also got up and bowed to her. Stephanie stood there, watching the children's back. She felt they had suddenly grown up and couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

The fans on the side posted this video online. They claimed that Stephanie was a kind person. Then, Stephanie received many calls. Her assistant answered the phone with a change in her usual style of flattery, becoming reserved and steady.

Today, the assistant received a call from a Miss Peck. Stephanie would be given priority to film an advertisement for public service. However, the assistant didn't like the tone of the other party. It was heavy with arrogance. She even instructed the assistant to put Stephanie on the phone. The assistant replied, "Sorry, Stephanie is busy." Then she hung up.

Who cared about the Pecks? Stephanie was extremely popular now. She received countless phone calls every day. Many nobles and big shots contacted her. Who did the Pecks think they were? The assistant hung up the phone and picked up another call. It was about another advertisement invitation. She patiently and politely replied, "Sorry, Stephanie has been occupied in an advertisement...."

"What the hell does she think she is? Stephanie's just an actor, yet her assistant dares to hang up on me." Arabella, who was hung up on the phone, was furious. She slapped the table and stood up with a cold look.

The manager of the planning department asked, "How about choosing another actor?"

Arabella frowned and points at Stephanie's profile. "Right now, she enjoys great popularity. If we chase her clout and persuaded her to film the advertisement now, we'll save spending money on marketing."

"But she refused. I heard that she took E.M'S advertisement. This advertisement fee is enough for her to live a wealthy life for the rest of her life. Our budget is a little ... tight."

Arabella threw Stephanie's document over and gave up. She then said to the manager, "Alright, find two more candidates."

"Got it."

Arabella was not in a good mood. Ever since she heard what Jaquan said the night before yesterday, she had been almost exploded with anger. Stephanie refused her invitation to shoot an advertisement. It was humiliating, equivalent to slapping her face!

Arabella adjusted herself in the bathroom for a while and finally returned to normal. Then she walked out and called Vincent. "Hey, Vincent, can I change the actress of the public service video? Stephanie refused. I plan to pick another candidate...."

Vincent was probably in the middle of a video. He whispered something to that one before replying to Arabella. "It's up to you."

After he finished, he hung up the phone and threw it to the side. On the computer, he was on a video chat with Emily. While reading, Emily looked at Vincent on the screen and asked, "Why are you video chatting with me at the company? Won't it interrupt your work?"

Vincent leaned closer and touched her face with his thumb on the screen. His voice was low and husky, "I haven't seen you for days. I miss you very much."

Emily smiled and threw him a kiss.

Just as Vincent was about to say something, he saw 'the end of the call' displayed on the screen of his phone. It seemed that the call had just been hung up. He turned his gaze back to Emily without changing his expression and asked, "Continue to read. I'll test you tonight."

Emily suddenly asked, "You want to invite Stephanie to shoot an advertisement?"

Vincent raised his eyebrows noncommittally. He thought that Emily probably watched the news or Stephanie's TV play, so he explained briefly, "Now that she is very popular. She has subsidized poor students, so she is a very suitable candidate. But she refused."

"I know." Emily nodded thoughtfully.

Vincent took a sip of tea and said, "What's wrong?"

"Who'll pay for the advertisement fee?" Emily asked.

"Since the two companies cooperate, they will share it." Vincent noticed her rolling her eyes. "What are you thinking?"

Emily replied quickly, "I'm thinking about how to overcharge Arabella."

"..."

Although the guards participated in helping Stephanie, they made a small effort, which didn't even rate a mention. They did not inform Vincent about Emily's rescue of Stephanie. Hence, a few minutes later, Vincent was slightly stunned when Emily called him that she had persuaded Stephanie.

Vincent did not know that what happened between Emily and Stephanie. Since Emily managed to talk Stephanie into accepting the invitation but Arabella couldn't, Vincent felt it proved that Emily was competent.

The news reached Arabella's ear the next day. At first, she didn't believe it. But when she saw the notification email from the Scavo Corp in the company, she was certain that Stephanie would rush over tomorrow to shoot the public welfare video and cooperate with all the arrangements of both companies.

She immediately called Vincent. "Vincent, did you personally call to invite her? Did you increase her advertising fee? Otherwise, why would she agree?"

Vincent's voice was cold. "I didn't call, nor did I offer a higher price. She agreed because it was a public service video. That's all."

After hanging up, Arabella sneered. Stephanie agreed because it was a public service video? Stephanie must have taken a fancy to Vincent and made up such an excuse!
