Just when she was speechless, Mo Anqi's phone rang. Her phones were all new models this year, far superior to Jiang Se's old model.
After she answered the call, she handed it directly to Jiang Se:
"It's Sister Xia calling."
Jiang Se answered the phone, and Xia Chaoqun's voice was as calm as the impression she gave people:
"Mo Anqi, did you see it?" she asked, and Jiang Se responded.
"In addition to being fluent in Japanese, she is also a karate expert, has experience dealing with the media, has previous experience with some affordable luxury brands, and has a driver's license, which are all you need right now."
She finished her words in one breath and added:
"I think with your current ability, you don't have the money to hire bodyguards, translators, network promoters, etc. to deal with the media and drive you around."
Jiang Se was speechless after hearing this.
"I have agreed with her on her salary, which will be paid in three installments. After the contract is signed, one third will be paid first, another third will be paid in the middle of the year, and the final payment will be paid at the end of the year. I will apply to the company for a temporary loan for your travel vehicle, rental, and hiring of makeup and styling teams. The company will also advance the first part of Mo Anqi's salary, and you can pay it back later."
Xia Chaoqun never thought about the consequences of whether Jiang Se could pay back the money. Jiang Se calculated carefully that Mo Anqi's salary was already 300,000 yuan a year, not to mention the other expenses calculated by Xia Chaoqun. After all, it was not a matter of whether she would take a job in the future or not, but in order to pay off the debt, she probably couldn't be idle. She couldn't help asking:
"If I can't pay it back..."
"hehe."
Xia Chaoqun laughed on the phone, but her laughter sounded completely emotionless, as if she on the other end of the phone had just mechanically uttered those two characters.
Jiang Se could almost imagine Xia Chaoqun's expressionless face at this moment, "If you still can't afford the money within half a year, I suggest you go home and get married."
She hung up the phone right after she finished speaking. Jiang Se was speechless as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.
She returned the phone to Mo Anqi, smiled at Jiang Se, and answered the phone:
"If there's nothing else, I guess it's time to sign the contract?"
Jiang Se nodded. At this point, there was naturally no room for her to back down. After signing the contract, the service period was set at three years, but regarding the benefits, it was only signed for one year for the time being. The new salary would be reviewed next year.
After signing the contract, Jiang Se looked even more depressed than Mo Anqi, the person who signed the employment contract. He was suddenly burdened with at least nearly one million yuan in salary expenses for three years, not including the money for the makeup and styling team, and Xia Chaoqun's so-called house rental money.
"Are there any jobs?"
Jiang Se hooked her straight black hair and asked.
Mo Anqi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She immediately understood the meaning of her words and obviously guessed her current predicament. "Sister Xia will make arrangements for you. I will go to some manufacturers' offices this afternoon."
She is very worthy of her salary. As soon as she takes office, she plans to help Jiang Se visit some manufacturers and get some sponsorship for clothes, shoes and socks. This will largely avoid Jiang Se's extra expenses and also help Jiang Se to build good relationships with major brands.
Whether a domestic star is popular or not, and what his or her status is, is not determined by his or her national fame.
Take Zhu Pan, who was previously hidden, for example. She has resources in Century Galaxy, is acting in movies, and has endorsements, but most of them are not of high quality.
Zhu Pan has not yet been able to appear in some of the major and stylish domestic magazines. No matter how much her annual income is, she is not at that level, and the things she endorses are limited. She is not favored by international brands. When she attends events, the sponsors are all domestic brands. If she wants to wear big brands, she has to borrow them temporarily.
But Jiang Se was in Xia Chaoqun's hands, and Xia Chaoqun never thought of letting her develop in the direction of Zhu Pan, so he was very strict with her from the beginning.
Mo Anqi glanced at Jiang Se and said, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon? Should I take you home first, or where should I take you?"
Jiang Se had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. Now that he had once again experienced the difficulties of the world and the financial constraints, he naturally could no longer find a cafe to sit in and order coffee but not drink it as he did before, spending money like water.
She drove here by herself, and didn't need Mo Anqi to drive her:
"I'll drive myself."
Mo Anqi nodded:
"That's fine. I was also worried that I might have overpaid you for the gas."
Jiang Se looked at her and was speechless.
Mo Anqi was amused by her eyes. She looked young, but she didn't have the spoiled temper of a young lady and didn't seem difficult to get along with.
"By the way, Sister Xia told me that before you change your phone, you'd better not take out your phone when you are outside." Mo Anqi said Xia Chao's harsh words, which dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Se. She couldn't help laughing and said:
"Sister Xia knows you have a boyfriend, but when you go out during work hours, it's best for you to come with me."
Jiang Se nodded. Mo Anqi still had a lot of things to do in the afternoon. Xia Chaoqun herself was a strong woman, so she felt that all women in the world should have similar abilities to her. She hoped that others could keep up with her pace and complete the tasks and requirements she assigned.
So Mo Anqi's time is also very tight. She has more than a dozen lists of manufacturers given to her by Xia Chao. She has to visit all of them today and make sure that she can convince at least half of them to provide ready-made clothes, evening gowns, handbags, shoes, etc. She also needs to find a suitable place and move all the things back within the next two days for Jiang Se to wear.
Facts have proved that Xia Chaoqun has a good vision, and Mo Anqi is indeed worthy of her high salary. The next afternoon, she called and said that according to Xia Chaoqun's instructions, she had rented a temporary house for Jiang Se to live in, and even talked with several domestic manufacturers about providing sponsorship of clothes, shoes and socks.
The house she rented is in a very good location, in the Sheung Wan area of the imperial capital. The developer is Jingtai Real Estate. The residents living nearby are the city's elite, and the community environment is also guaranteed. At least the security is very responsible. There are also many celebrities and well-known models living here, and there has been no incident of being secretly photographed.
Because Jiang Se is still a newcomer, the house is naturally not that big, but compared to the single room she rented that day, the house rented by Mo Anqi is undoubtedly much better. (To be continued)
