Chapter 710: She Did A Great Job

Luo Lin sat down and put a stack of documents in front of Yan Huan. “You can reject everything else but not this.”

“It’s a favor that I can’t reject.” Yan Huan flipped through the material, which turned out to be a proposal from a renowned international coffee company that wanted to hire her as their ambassador. Moreover, Yan Huan was their first female Asian candidate.

“Why did they choose me?”

Yan Huan asked Luo Lin. She was informed that this company was extremely strict with their selection of ambassadors. Besides good appearance and temperament, they also demanded their candidates to have spotless reputation with no scandals.

Nevertheless, it was only sensible for them to set such high requirements as the company were ranked as one of the top 100 global companies. For such a famed company, their commercial would be broadcast worldwide. How did this valuable offer land on her?

Am I that famous?

Luo Lin stretched out and pinched Yan Huan’s cheek.

“First of all, this is all because of your face. The fifth prettiest face in Asia”

Yan Huan shrugged. She did not do anything on her face.

“Next, it’s because of this.”

Luo Lin took out a photo to show it to Yan Huan. In the photo, Yan Huan was holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a florist. The scene was captured by the owner. The photo had a high resolution even though it was taken merely by a phone. She seemed to be smiling at that moment. It was a rather meaningful smile that was coated by memories and decorated by a hint of sorrow.

“Not only you’ll be their ambassador, Yue Ran will also be your makeup artist. His biggest goal now is to work with a major international brand. This offer will introduce you and Yue Ran to the global market.”

“Honestly, I don’t want to accept it.” Yan Huan put the photo down. If this happened back then, she might already be over the moon. However, she could hardly feel anything now. It was as if someone had placed a big pie, which she had been yearning for, right in front of her. Unfortunately, she was too full to eat the pie no matter how delicious it was.

“You don’t have a choice.” Luo Lin understood Yan Huan’s words. “You must accept the offer.”

After she mocked Yan Huan, she gleefully went ahead to make the necessary arrangements. She left at the drop of a hat, afraid that Yan Huan might regret her decision anytime soon. This was Yan Huan’s first endorsement after two years of hiatus and it was a prime project. Would this project trigger a chain reaction and bring all the other offers to her? Nobody could predict the future. But, even if she was given with many offers, she would most probably reject them all.

Similar method could only be executed once for the best effectiveness. It would not be efficient anymore for Luo Lin to use the same way on Yan Huan again.

Yue Ran had already designed a style for Yan Huan and was ready to try the new style on her. Yan Huan sat in front of the mirror like a beautiful and finely-carved statue.

“I haven’t been on camera for a while. Do you think I’ll mess it up?”

She asked Yue Ran as she feared that she might drop the ball and put Linlang and Yue Ran to shame.

“No, you will not.” Yue Ran was not worried at all. He had absolute confidence in Yan Huan.

“Some people are born camera-ready and you are one of them.”

“Really?” She studied herself with the mirror. For the first time, Yan Huan received a compliment from Yue Ran.

When the spotlight shone upon her, she finally understood Yue Ran’s words. Initially she could not shake off the jitters. After all, this was an international project and her first appearance on camera after two years.

Thus, she was in a nerve-racking state and her palms were sweating profusely. However, as soon as the spotlight hit her, she was surprised that her body began to recompose itself. All the anxiety, uneasiness and restlessness were gone without a trace.

And there she was, holding a cup of coffee in her hand and stirred it gently. Light gleamed on her thick and long eyelashes. She looked into the distance as she put on a faint smile on her face. Despite the curled lips, a subtle hue of melancholy seemed to be wreathing around her.

A delicate face with an air of grace. She had no idea how much she has grown in the past two years, but she had long surpassed her previous life. Now, she no longer cared about how long she could last in this industry.

She held the cup up with one hand and placed it on her lips in an artless manner. Gently, she took a small sip out of the cup and was instantly overwhelmed by the rich taste of cocoa beans. A tinge of bitterness, that came with the fragrance, lingered around her taste buds and seeped into her heart.

She smiled a little brighter and warmer, until the bitterness began to fade away. The full-flavored aroma took over and brought out an amazing taste of the coffee.

She continued to drink the coffee, one sip after another, even after the shoot ended.

“Is it good?” someone asked.

“Yes, it’s nice.” Yan Huan used to not drink coffee at all as she did not appreciate the bitterness. However, she thought that the one she tasted today was not bad after all.

All of a sudden, Yan Huan seemed to have recalled something as she rose to her feet without any notice. Then, she noticed the grin on the director’s face. Similarly, all the other present staff were smiling at her too. Yan Huan was perplexed by the situation.

“I’m sorry!” She stood up hurriedly. She did not realize that she had spaced out and was totally unaware that the filming had ended.

“That’s fine.” The director remained smiling. The iconic director was considerably amicable. Undoubtedly, he was pleased with Yan Huan’s performance.

“Miss Yan has done a great job! It’s a successful shoot and we’re very satisfied with the result.”

He extended his hand as he spoke. “I look forward to working with you again.”

“Thanks.” Yan Huan reached out to shake his hand. She was not interested to find out how she looked in the video. However, she reckoned that she should be nowhere near ugly, or else the well-known director would not appear so relaxed. The commercial might not be successful, but it has absolutely nothing to do with my appearance.

She went home and returned to her old mundane life. As usual, she did not bother to update herself with Linlang’s status. When the advertisement was released, Luo Lin forwarded it to her immediately.

It certainly came with congratulations.

Initially, Yan Huan did not understand what was happening and where all the compliments come from.

It was not until she turned on her laptop and saw what Luo Lin had sent to her. It was the coffee commercial. With the ballad playing in the background, she saw herself sitting in front of the window as the sunlight glimmered on her. It seemed to be a foggy weather, making her feel as though her eyes were misted as well.

Naturally, she brought a cup of coffee to her lips. She seemed content, creating a rather beautiful scene.
