Yan Chun Hua's brows furrowed slightly, her lips curling into a tight smile. "I don't need you to try your best. I need you to make it happen."
Yan Xinru hesitated, forcing a neutral expression. "We're not very close, and Zhi Peng isn't the type to agree to random introductions. He's… selective."
"That's not my problem, now is it?" Yan Chun Hua's tone remained sweet, but her words were sharp. "I'm doing my part to get you noticed by the brand. You'll need to do yours."
Yan Xinru's polite smile wavered.
She had never been fond of Yan Chun Hua's self-serving nature. Among her cousins, she preferred Yan Meixiu, who was far less calculating. But Yan Meixiu was an illegitimate child, and her very existence grated on Yan Xinru, who also had an illegitimate half-sister she despised.
"You're getting me shortlisted, not the brand deal," Yan Xinru replied, her voice light but pointed.
