Downstairs suite.
Yunxuan sat in the dressing room, organizing the 'complimentary' samples from various businesses.
To call them complimentary was really just a polite way of saying they were bribes.
And so-called samples... were nothing more than gimmicks.
Looking at the pile of items nearly filling up the room, Yunxuan felt overwhelmed.
Way too much!
Thinking back, Yunxuan couldn't figure out how she had sunk so low.
She remembered the first time she signed an advertising contract, the business gave her a set of cosmetic kits as a gift.
Knowing the price wasn't cheap, Yunxuan declined, saying they weren't necessary.
Maybe it was because the manager was such a smooth talker, or maybe it was because she was a bit too eager for a bargain.
They persuaded her by saying that to advertise the product, she needed to see the effects, and how could she know if it was good or not without trying it?
And so!
Yunxuan was convinced by this 'twisted logic'.
