NT Cosmetics had always sold well because it was affordable yet among the best in its price range.
That was until that incident happened last year.
But many netizens only remembered the controversy for a while and later forgot what had happened with the NT brand.
After the New Year, NT Cosmetics’s sales even started to rise again.
However, the internet trolls hired by Tianle Media were determined to dig everything back up.
Marketing accounts made comparison posts: one side showed Bie Yunxi’s termination statement, and the other showed Si Fuqing becoming the new NT Daxia brand ambassador.
With trolls and haters steering public opinion, the comment section was filled with outrage.
[Ugh, this is disgusting. Si Fuqing would be considered a traitor if this were ancient times!][No wonder Bie Yunxi is called the nation’s first love and a top actress, while Si Fuqing is just a variety show personality. Totally different leagues.][I actually liked Si Fuqing before, I was a casual fan, but this crosses the line. I’m done.][She was doing so well lately, why would she ruin her own career like this?!]
Soon, two hashtags trended side by side: #Si Fuqing_NTBrandAmbassador #NT_InsultingDaxia
Especially because Bie Yunxi, who had decisively ended her contract with the brand, was brought up again, the topic’s popularity skyrocketed.
Bie Yunxi’s team constantly monitored all online discussions about her.
At first, they thought she was being targeted again, but to their surprise, all the comments were full of praise.
“Sister Xixi, that Si Fuqing really picked up your leftovers,” her assistant whispered. “After you ended the contract when the scandal broke last year, NT couldn’t find a new ambassador for over half a year. Who would’ve thought she’d take it?”
Bie Yunxi frowned. “No artist would dare to touch that endorsement for at least two years. Does her agent not have any sense? How could they let her sign something like that?”
“Who knows,” the assistant said. “Maybe someone set her up on purpose. Anyway, you’ve been busy with the training camp these days. You'd better stay away from her, so she doesn’t try to gain attention through you.”
In the entertainment industry, having a hit project or not made a huge difference.
No variety show had ever launched someone into national-level stardom overnight.
Bie Yunxi had the popularity boost from Hurried Love, while Si Fuqing didn’t even have a single drama to her name.
The gap between them was massive.
“I know,” Bie Yunxi said, her brows furrowing tighter. “I’m not paying attention to her, it’s Ming Wenxian I’m watching. Keep your distance.”
In the entertainment world, all those so-called “best friend” duos often ended up stabbing each other in the back. So Bie Yunxi saw no reason to concern herself with others.
“Eh?” The assistant suddenly widened her eyes. “Sister Xixi, the trending topic is gone! The marketing accounts’ posts were deleted too! And some of them even issued public apologies!”
What kind of efficiency was that?!
Even though Bie Yunxi was an artist under Shengxing Entertainment, she didn’t have such a powerful PR team.
Could it be that someone was backing Si Fuqing?
“Alright, don’t worry about it.” Bie Yunxi tore open a face mask. “I’m going to rest. You can go now.”
“Okay, Sister Xixi, have a good rest.” The assistant left the hotel.

At the same time—
Inside a high-end office building.
“Alright, the trending topics have been taken down. Don’t bother with anything else,” Ling Feng said over the phone. “Mr. Yu said that by 11 p.m. tonight, NT’s last physical counter in Sijiucheng will be closed, marking its official withdrawal from the Daxia market.”
“Mr. Yu also said that there’s no need to bother Miss Si with trivial matters like this. She should focus on training the contestants for the upcoming performance. She’s been very tired these past few days. He’ll take care of everything himself.”
“Okay, understood. I’ll contact you again if anything else comes up.”
Ling Feng hung up the phone and went back to work.

Si Fuqing really wasn’t someone who spent much time online. It wasn’t until she parted ways with the four senior members of Shenyin Studio that Shang Lu ran up to her with the news.
“NT?” Si Fuqing brushed aside her bangs. “Who came up with such a stupid abbreviation?”
Shang Lu: “…”
That… wasn’t a question he had ever thought about.
“I’ll check Weibo,” Si Fuqing said, rolling up her sleeves. “Time to show off my verbal combat skills again.”
Yu Xiheng closed his book. “Eat first.”
Si Fuqing immediately turned and went to wash her hands. “Coming!”
“Miss Si doesn’t need to worry about the endorsement,” Feng San quickly said. “NT will soon withdraw from the Daxia market. That endorsement no longer exists.”
