Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne Chapter 118: Taking the Opportunity to Advertise
"I can."
"Then let’s also make so boiled fish in chili oil, sweet and sour pork ribs, and for the main course, abalone with rice in soup..."
When Director Warren heard abalone and rice soup ntioned again, he piped up, "Riley Perry, steam so extra rice. I’m crashing the al."
His motto was: be bold, even when you’re in the wrong.
After all, that was lobster and abalone bought with his money! No matter what, he had to eat enough to get his money’s worth.
Riley Perry: "You can eat, sure. It’s two hundred yuan per person."
Director Warren: "Those ingredients were bought with my money! And you’re going to charge to eat them?"
Riley Perry replied nonchalantly as she cleaned the fish, "Mm, it’s a processing fee."
Director Warren was furious. ’She really has an answer for everything. She knew she couldn’t justify charging for ingredients, so she switched to a processing fee.’ "Fine, fine! So you’re playing these gas with , huh? You think I won’t eat just because you’re charging ? It’s only two hundred yuan, right? I’ll pay! But you’d better cook it well, or I’m docking your pay!"
Just then, Director Warren’s young assistant ca over again. "Director, a lot of people in the livestream chat are asking questions. They’re hoping Ms. Perry can interact with them a bit."
Director Warren’s expression changed in an instant. His tone beca incredibly pleasant as he stood behind Riley Perry, watching her clean the fish. "Riley, my dear..."
Riley Perry didn’t stop what she was doing. "Can’t interact."
Director Warren: "You..."
"You’ll have to pay extra."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Rejection was written all over Director Warren’s face.
Five minutes later, Riley Perry had won a temporary victory, prying two thousand yuan from Director Warren’s pocket. Seeing that a deal had finally been struck, a staff mber quickly handed over a tablet. "Miss Perry, feel free to answer whichever questions on here you’d like. No pressure."
"I need to cook. Just read the bullet comnts to ."
Claire Lee quickly took on this difficult task, snatching the tablet first. "I’ll do it, I’ll do it."
"MorningGlory says: ’Riley Perry, can you post a link to your makeup? I want to have skin as good as yours, too.’"
Riley Perry smiled at her young fan, set her knife aside, and picked up the ’Chunyuan Fresh Milk’ provided by the sponsor. "A glass of Chunyuan Fresh Milk a day keeps your skin forever eighteen!"
[Damn, that ad placent was so smooth. I’m not impressed by anyone but Riley Perry!]
[So, what makeup does she actually use?]
Claire Lee naturally saw those two comnts, but she knew that celebrities couldn’t casually ntion other brands during a livestream. Even if Riley Perry didn’t have a makeup endorsent, it was best to avoid it.
So, she wisely moved on to the next bullet comnt. "A string of numbers asks: ’Riley Perry, how do you eat so much food and stay in such good shape?’"
Everyone in the livestream was watching. In the few days since the show started, Riley Perry’s appetite had been much larger than Victoria Koenig’s. Ordinary won, especially celebrities, would never dare to eat so much. In the adjacent livestream, Roxanne Fulton would claim to be full after just a few bites of each al. One of Riley’s als was equivalent to five of hers.
Riley Perry thought, ’Talk about a tily gift. I was just wondering how to promote my own product, and now an opportunity has fallen right into my lap.’
"I exercise every day, so I burn a lot of calories and generally don’t gain weight. However, for any of you ladies looking to lose weight, I do have a great recomndation.
My fans probably know that my assistant, Rhona, used to weigh over 140 pounds. Now, she’s under 110 pounds. She took an all-natural herbal weight-loss supplent and successfully lost the weight in just over a month."
The screen was imdiately flooded with a wave of comnts asking for the supplent’s na.
Riley Perry said, "It’s called Lüshou, the one endorsed by Chloe Sterling. It’s a bit pricey, though, so I won’t state the price here. You can look it up yourselves."
[If there’s really a weight-loss pill that good, why even bother dieting? I’m gonna start eating six als a day, each one different!]
[I’m going to look it up right now. I’ll buy so imdiately if I find out where to get it. I’m up to 167 pounds after having a baby, and I’m only 5’3". My husband says I’m built like a barrel.]
[I’m only a little chubby, but if there’s really a diet pill that effective, I’d definitely buy a box to try.]
Below that were a ton of comnts from people wanting to buy the supplent, including quite a few n.
Claire Lee continued reading the comnts: "I have a friend, and every ti she texts her boyfriend, he takes a very long ti to reply. She’s really upset and doesn’t know why."
Riley Perry looked up at the cara. "Let tell you a story. A husband’s phone accidentally got locked inside a storage locker at a mall, and he couldn’t get it out.
His first instinct was to find a staff mber to help him open the locker, but he was told it would be a long wait.
So, he leaned over the locker and shouted, ’Siri, send a ssage to my wife. Tell her my phone is locked up and I’ll be ho late.’
Many people around him chuckled good-naturedly. The man felt a bit shy from the laughter, but he still called out to Siri through the locker door again to make sure the ssage sent.
So what’s the point of this story?
I want to tell you that if soone wants to reply to a ssage, they’ll find a way, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
He’s not replying to you because, naturally, he’s busy replying to soone else." After saying that, she even winked. "Do you even need to ask such a simple question? Girl, you can break up with him."
Claire Lee: ... ’I’m trying so hard not to laugh, what do I do? The netizen was just looking for so reassurance, but her Sweetie just told them to beco single!’
’Nope, can’t laugh. I have to keep reading!’
"Next comnt: ’I’ve run into my idol several tis in a row. Is this destiny?’"
Victoria Koenig, who was washing vegetables, perked up her ears, waiting to hear Riley Perry’s answer.
Riley Perry paused in the middle of dicing pork belly. "Honey, please listen to my advice. I’m seriously saying this for your own good. Being a sasaeng is wrong. Stop stalking them. If you’re not careful, you could end up in jail!"
Victoria Koenig: ...
The livestream audience: ...
[I didn’t even think of it that way until Riley Perry said it. What kind of job do you have that lets you ’run into’ your idol every day? It makes no sense unless you’re secretly stalking them!]
[Riley Perry’s reaction ti is way too fast. She should be a detective.]
[Isn’t the person above overpraising her? She’s just a perforr. A detective? That’s a job for the police.]
Claire Lee: "A ssage from ’Drank-So-Much-I-Lost-A-Shoe’: ’Riley Perry, you’re so beautiful, you must have a lot of guys chasing you. So, what move do you think a woman can do that n can’t stand the most?’"
This ti, Riley Perry didn’t even look up. "A kick to the crotch! I guarantee it. Forget n, even a woman couldn’t take that!"
The bullet comnts instantly exploded: [Oh my god, that answer is killing !]
[If I didn’t know this show was live and that I could see the questions being posted in real ti, I would have thought she was working from a script!]
[A kick to the crotch~ Yeah, nobody can take that! You’d be kicked into oblivion!]
"My windows are always getting smashed. What’s up with that?"
Riley Perry finally glanced at the cara, a look of utter disdain on her face. "Buddy, I don’t believe for a second that you don’t know what’s up."
