A good dinner was spoiled, and Su Jishi felt distressed when he thought of the wasted delicacies on the table. She was finally able to eat meat once, but she never expected to meet a Zhutou San who had an unappetizing taste, so she was really angry and hungry.
Mu Xiulun took the initiative to invite: "Since we met, let's have a light meal together."
Fang Jie was still hypocritically polite: "Why bother Mr. Mu?"
Su Jishi asked frankly: "Don't you have other guests? It's not suitable for us to have dinner, right?"
Mu Xiulun didn't speak, but only gave the two Dong Zong and Cui Zong a wink.
The other two are both good people, so it is very appropriate to hurriedly express that it is suitable. It is their honor that Miss Su can sit at the same table with them for dinner, how could it be inappropriate
If it wasn't for the coincidence of encountering this big drama today, none of them would have known that Mu Xiulun had something to do with this popular actress. Seeing Mu Xiulun protecting each other so much, they naturally spared no effort to invite Su Jin to their dinner party in order to flatter Mu Xiulun.
The steps had been paved to the feet, and Su Jishi walked down the steps generously.
She had just gone through a "fierce battle", and now she was starving to death, if she went back to the apartment, Fang Xie would have just torn up raw cucumbers and sent her away, she might as well stay and eat and drink.
So, Su Jishi took Fang Jie and Xiaoxia to transfer from one "entertainment" to another "entertainment".
After taking a seat.
The waiter put the pre-ordered delicacies on the table one by one, wild river prawns caught from the southern mountain streams, top-quality salmon transported from the extreme north, the best mushrooms born in the quiet path, and dewy salmon. Vegetable seedlings... from all over the world, swimming fish and flying birds, plate after plate, are all wonderful delicacies that ordinary people can't see on their own dining tables in their entire lives. After cooking by the chef, it not only stimulates the umami taste of each ingredient, but also allows them to blend and communicate, creating a layered taste.
It stands to reason that facing such a table of delicious food, even a Bodhisattva would have to return to vulgarity, right
However, Mu Xiulun's expression was dissatisfied.
He glanced at the dishes on the table without interest, and said to the waiter: "Since there are two female guests here, let's add some 'ladies dishes'."
Ladies' dishes, in many places in the north, refer to dishes that taste sweet and sour, and girls will like to eat them. Such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, candied sweet potato, pine nut corn, white sugar taro and so on.
Su Jishi, who wants to drink salty soy milk: "..."
She watched helplessly that the domineering president who loves sweets added several sweet and sour dishes in her name.
Xiaoxia leaned close to her, whispered next to her ear, "Mr. Mu is so considerate, why did you two break up?"
Fang Xie, the only person around Su Jin who signed the nurturing contract with Mu Xiulun, knew about it. Xiaoxia, a silly girl, didn't know that he and her had a money-for-money relationship until now, and she really thought that she had seen a pure and flawless love story in the capital world.
Su Jin looked at her sympathetically, and put a piece of sweet and sour ribs into her bowl: "Eat it, you're the one who talks too much."
The room seemed to be divided into two completely different worlds, talking about business while eating and drinking.
Su Jishi had no interest in Mu Xiulun's business, but even if she didn't want to hear about her major, those familiar words still poured into her ears. It was probably Mr. Mu, who controlled the Indonesian nickel mine, who negotiated two major deals one after another and made a lot of money.
If it is converted into millet mixed with sugar, it is estimated that it is enough to raise all the impoverished children in Africa black and fat.
After drinking and eating, Su Jishi patted his stomach in satisfaction and decided to go home.
Mr. Dong didn't move his chopsticks much when he saw the "lady's dishes" in front of Su Jishi, and asked with some regret, "Isn't it to Ms. Su's taste?"
Su Jishi glanced at Mu Xiulun, who was sitting in the main seat, with a half-smile, and then turned to Mr. Dong: "Yes, of course. It's just that I am losing weight, and my manager won't let me eat more, so I can only ask Mr. Mu to eat it for me." gone."
Mu Xiulun calmly put five pieces of rock sugar into the chrysanthemum tea in front of him, as if he didn't hear her teasing at all.
…
Fang Jie sent Su Jishi home. Before leaving, Fang Jie deliberately avoided Xiaoxia and told her: "Although we can solve the matter of Mr. Huang, it will be a lot of trouble in the end. Mr. Mu helped you clean up. You must thank him well. I know you don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but you must pay off the gift that should be paid, otherwise you will always owe him favors, and it will be a troublesome thing in the future."
Su Jishi agreed.
But what do you give back
Su Jishi thought about it and decided to give something practical.
Xiaoxia was eager to choose for her: "For a successful person like Mr. Mu, it is always right to give something studded with diamonds."
Su Jishi: "... You must know that diamonds are actually crystalline carbon minerals erupted from volcanoes. Its expensive price is actually the packaging made by diamond dealers. Putting coal in a high-pressure and high-temperature environment can make it Man-made diamonds with better purity.”
Xiaoxia stomped her feet angrily: "Sister Su, why are you not romantic at all! Is this a question of money? This is a question of identity! Haven't you noticed that President Mu's watch is inlaid with diamonds, and his tie is The folder is set with diamonds, and even the pen in the pocket is also set with diamonds?"
Wow, what a show.
Su Jishi said impatiently: "This is also inlaid with diamonds, and that is also inlaid with diamonds, so his hammer is also inlaid with diamonds, right?"
Xiaoxia understood and blushed.
It's a good thing Ah Shan isn't here, otherwise he would have raised his arms and shouted "Good girls can't swear!"
In the end, Su Jishi followed Xiaoxia's suggestion and chose a gift studded with diamonds for Mu Xiulun.
— She chose a diamond-encrusted electric toothbrush.
Mu Xiulun who received the gift: "..."
In the end, Mu Xiulun didn't use this precious diamond-encrusted toothbrush because he was afraid of breaking his teeth.
※
That night, Su Jishi taught Mr. Huang an unforgettable lesson. After returning home, Mr. Huang suffered from a serious illness. After hearing that he recovered, he even quit smoking.
Not only that, he was afraid that Su Jin and Mu Xiulun, the yin and yang, would attack the poor, weak and innocent man again. In order to express his sincerity in apologizing, he specially took out an exclusive interview resource from a fashion magazine as an apology.
Su Jishi was baffled: "Doesn't their company sell cars? Even if they make an apology, they should accompany me with a car. Why did they pay me for a magazine interview? One car maker and the other fashion guy, how can it be related?"
Fang Jie asked: "How much is a car, besides, do you have a driver's license?"
Su Jishi said triumphantly, "Of course there is!"
She is a famous wild driver in the field exploration team, give her a pickup truck, she can even drive to the moon!
Fang Jie: "But Su Jin didn't."
Su Jishi: "..."
Fang Jie: "Not only did she not, she also got motion sickness."
Su Jishi: "..."
Book, so in order to maintain the personality, she doesn't want to touch the steering wheel in China
Fang Jie suddenly thought of something, and asked her: "Sister Su, do you know how celebrities appear in magazines? - The same traffic star, why can xx be on the cover of the magazine, but oo can only appear on the inside page of the magazine?"
Su Jishi got stuck, what's the reason
She happened to have a stack of fashion magazines next to her. Xiaoxia has a job that needs to collect four major magazines and five small magazines every month, sort out the artists that appear on the inner pages, and conduct data summary and comparison. Through the most intuitive data increase and decrease, you can see which artist is on the rise and which artist has signs of flop recently.
Su Jishi picked up the first book. On the cover, the actress in a lake blue silk cheongsam was leaning on the beauty couch, awe-inspiring and noble.
"The actress's new movie won the weekend box office champion, so she appeared on the cover." She flipped through the inside page again, pointing to a sunny niche and said, "I remember this person, it seems that there was a scandal not long ago, right? very high."
To put it bluntly, magazines are about who gets popular.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jie shook his head: "The fame you mentioned is just one of the considerations. Except for the cover and the longest interview on the inside page, which is based on the celebrity's topicality and celebrity status, other positions are all based on connections."
"What's the relationship? The relationship between the broker and the editor-in-chief?"
Fang Jie stretched out his left hand, quickly rubbed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together, as if counting money. "Wrong, it depends on the money relationship between the advertiser and the advertising department."
A full-color fashion magazine has hundreds of pages and weighs 500g, but the price is only 10 yuan, which does not even cover the printing cost. And more than half of the magazines are advertisements, and each page of advertisements is worth hundreds of thousands or millions. Those famous fashion magazines can reach an astronomical figure every year just by advertising revenue.
"Sister Su, let me give you a simple example. Your sister once photographed a shampoo advertisement, and the shampoo manufacturer spends tens of millions of advertisements in fashion magazines every year. In exchange, these fashion magazines must be in Su Jin's eyes. During the endorsement period, do three exclusive interviews for her to maintain her exposure... the constraints of advertisers, celebrities, and magazines are a complete closed loop."
Su Jishi understood: "So the magazine resources that Mr. Huang compensated me this time are also the advertisements?"
"Yes, this time it's a men's magazine called "Gentlemen's Style". It focuses on men's fashion, life style, etc., but each issue will also have an exclusive interview with two female celebrities. The car you endorsed is also on it , Wait until next month, the endorsement contract will expire—just within the contract period, I will give you a supplementary exposure."
After all, Mr. Huang is just borrowing flowers to present Buddha.
It doesn't matter to Su Jishi, isn't it just for taking pictures and chatting, as long as he doesn't face the camera, nothing will go wrong.
…
The shooting took place on the weekend, but the magazine sent a style sample of this shooting on Wednesday night.
The magazine has special sample models. According to the different themes of each issue, the sample models will put on pre-matched clothes, stand in front of the set, and take samples of the inner pages.
If the magazine needs to go on location, then the location elements will be collaged in the samples, so that the artist team can get a general idea of the shooting content.
The samples that Fang Jie received included the following elements—swimsuits, swimming pools, ocean balls, water guns, and donut-style lifebuoys.
Fang Jie dared to bet that with Su Jishi's character, he would never like this kind of theme...
But there is no way, this "Gentleman's Style" is a casual magazine for male readers, and the theme set by the editorial department is also to please male readers. Is there any man in this world who doesn't like a sunny beach bikini
Fang Jie bit the bullet, and carefully handed over the samples sent by the magazine to Su Jishi to see, and at the same time, he was ready to bear her swearing attack.
Unexpectedly, Su Jishi just glanced casually, then nodded generously: "Okay."
Fang Jie: "Ah? You, you agree?"
Su Jishi looked at him inexplicably: "This is a job. When did you assign me a job and I didn't agree?"
"..." Thinking about it this way, it really is true: Although Su Jishi would complain about all the jobs that came to him, he completed them meticulously.
Whether it is attending the signing ceremony, filming, appearing on variety shows, or even having dinner with advertisers, she has never been absent once.
The only problem is—every seemingly simple small task, when it hits Su Jishi's hands, there will always be unpredictable twists and turns.
Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't hold back a shudder.
Why does he feel that this swimsuit-themed inside page shooting is full of minefields
