When Su Ran returned to the studio, Ning Xi had already signed the contract with Yin Wan.
"How is it? Am I efficient?" Ning Xi waved the contract in front of Su Ran.
Su Ran thought to herself: It’s all already been agreed upon, but it’s settled in the form of a contract, isn’t it normal to do it soon
"Ning Xi, what's the situation with the car brand endorsement? Didn't they say that the contract can be signed soon?" Su Ran was concerned about the car endorsement.
"I've asked, and there's been a personnel change in their company. Maybe the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region will be transferred back to the headquarters, so this matter has been shelved. But Mr. Smith said that he's optimistic about you, and if he wants to sign a spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, it will definitely be you." Ning Xi said.
Su Ran sighed. It turned out that she was still in Mercury retrograde. The second female lead she was promised was gone, and the clothing brand endorsement she was promised was snatched away by Lin Ying. Now even the car brand endorsement became an unknown.
"How much money do I have in my account?" Su Ran asked.
Ning Xi opened the mobile banking app and showed her the balance.
"Only 1.7 million?" Su Ran suddenly felt powerless. This amount of money was not even enough for the registered capital.
"What's wrong? Do you need money? If you are short of money, you can take it from me first." Ning Xi said generously.
"How much do you have left?" Su Ran asked lazily.
Ning Xi said unhappily, "I still have about 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. I invested my money in gold, but it got stuck and I can't get it back for a while. I opened a restaurant with someone, but it closed down at the beginning of the year."
Three years ago, the gold market was still good. Su Ran retired at that time, and she was encouraged by her friends to invest in gold. Who knew that as soon as she entered the market, the gold price plummeted, as if the money was meant to cheat her out of her money. Gold was okay, it would always come back, at most she could just wait a few more years. The biggest loss was the restaurant, and three million was directly wasted.
Su Ran was speechless: "You are so unlucky. We are a pair of unlucky guys."
"Don't be so gloomy. Aren't you making a comeback now? As long as you have a job, why are you worried about not having money? The deal with Wanli is almost done. The salary is 10 million. Gu Yunchen, this guy, keeps saying he is a friend, but his true face as a businessman is exposed when it comes to the contract. He doesn't even see that the current traffic stars are worth tens of millions, but he is only willing to give us 10 million." Ning Xi complained.
"When is Wanli going to start filming?" Su Ran didn't think 10 million was too little. 10 million was her worth three years ago. Although she made a comeback, "72 Hours" has not been released yet. It is unknown whether her market value is still there. It is good enough that Gu Yunchen can give 10 million. She just wants the movie to start filming as soon as possible so that she can get the money earlier.
"After the New Year, Wanli's plan is to start filming after the New Year."
"After the New Year?" Well, hope is dashed again.
Ning Xi saw that she was unhappy: "Su Ran, did something happen to you?"
"Angel Fund." Su Ran reminded her.
Ning Xi suddenly realized: "I forgot about this. What should I do? Otherwise, should we make an appeal and recruit more people to join us?"
Su Ran said, "I've thought about it. Only Shen Yifeng has some hope. Shen Yifeng will definitely donate, but not much. One or two million is very generous. As for the others, Chen Tao's family is rich, but that is not his money, it belongs to his parents, and he can't make the decision. Deng Zian and Song Haoyu can't even afford to buy a house. It's embarrassing to ask them to donate."
"It seems so." Ning Xi frowned and seemed to have made up her mind: "If it really doesn't work, I'll ask my family for it."
"Don't." Su Ran rejected Ning Xi's decision without hesitation. Ning Xi gave up going home to inherit the family business and wanted to be her agent, which caused her to fall out with her family. If Ning Xi went back to ask for money, her parents would definitely scold her.
"I think we should sell the house!" Su Ran said.
She has seven apartments in Shengzhou and one in Wangzhou. Now that housing prices are so high, all problems can be solved by selling the two small apartments used to store letters and gifts from fans.
"Selling the house now? The housing prices are still going to go up. Wouldn't it be a loss if I sell it now?" Ning Xi felt it was a bit of a pity.
"There's nothing to regret. The value has increased so many times. I've already made a lot of money. Besides, I can't live in all the houses if I have too many. I'll keep one for myself, one for my grandparents, and the other three as employee dormitories. That's it. I'll put the two apartments up for sale and sell them when the price is right." Su Ran made up her mind to apply for the fund first, which would be enough to sustain operations for a year. As long as she had a job afterwards, she wouldn't have to worry about having no income.
Ning Xi knew that Su Ran had made up her mind and no one could change it, so she contacted the real estate agent and agreed to give them the keys the next day.
The next day, Ning Xi had something urgent to do, so she asked He Tong to deliver the key.
He Tong asked: "You want to sell the house?"
"It's not me who wants to sell the house, it's Su Ran. The car endorsement that was agreed upon has been postponed. She doesn't have much money now, so isn't she in a hurry to set up an angel fund? So she said to sell the house first." Ning Xi said.
"Didn't she just make a movie? How much is her salary?" He Tong was surprised. He always thought that stars like Su Ran had plenty of money, and that making a movie would earn at least several million! He didn't expect that she had to rely on selling houses to make a living.
"She donated it. When she accepted the film 72 Hours, she decided to donate all her salary to the police in the south and to the families of the martyrs who died. You should go quickly. The real estate agency has already left. Don't let people wait too long."
"Oh!" He Tong took the key and left.
He Tong thought about it and decided to tell the captain about it. Isn't the captain's sister rich? Maybe she can help Su Ran.
When Han Dong called back, He Tong had just come out of Tianhe Garden.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Captain, I don't know whether I should tell you this."
"Nonsense, you shouldn't tell me why you called me? Tell me."
"It's like this. Didn't my sister-in-law want to set up an angel fund? But she didn't have enough money. She donated all her recent film remuneration to the police, saying it was for the families of martyrs. And recently things haven't been going well for her. Her endorsements and roles were snatched away, and she was wrongly accused... She's now selling her house to set up this angel fund. I just separated from the property manager and gave him the keys."
Han Dong only knew that Su Ran was wrongly accused by Lu Jinyi, and this was the first time he heard about other things. He had talked to Su Ran on the phone these days, but Su Ran didn't tell him anything.
Don't want to upset him, or do you want to be distant with him
“How much would her house sell for?”
"The manager said that two units of more than 60 square meters would cost about 8 million!"
"Got it. Are you going to start taking action on the donation fraud?"
"Soon, we'll start in a few days." He Tong said. They had already started, but wasn't Lin Ying going to Hollywood for an audition soon? I heard that Lin Ying was just going to go through the motions and they wouldn't hire her, so Yu Li thought it would be better to wait until Lin Ying came back from Hollywood before taking action. This kind of thing requires timing.
