After busy work in the morning and lunch, Qiao Wen and Lin Zihui sat on the leather sofa in the office, drinking hot tea, watching TV, and enjoying a rare afternoon leisure.
Although Wu Yaodong is not involved in personnel affairs, the black and white TV set prepared for them is quite useful. You can not only understand the news in the city, but also watch TV dramas and listen to songs to relax your mind.
"Loyalty is Priceless" on Baozhutai, which is popular in the whole city, finally ushered in the finale. The two young people were staring at the TV screen, watching with relish, when the office phone rang.
Lin Zihui worked faster than Qiao Wen, and ran to the desk in a short time, and picked up the phone.
Qiao Wen stepped forward and turned the volume of the TV to the lowest level, only to hear Lin Zihui hum for a few times, then hung up the phone, his face changed from the excitement of just watching TV to an obvious dejection.
Seeing this, Qiao Wen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zihui sighed, walked to the side and sat down, said: "Didn't you say that we want to find a famous movie star to advertise for Mengshen? I asked my father's secretary to inquire about it." , Now those few big stars, the advertising price is one million, where can we ask for it?"
Now that Hong Kong City's film industry has entered its golden age, film is a very lucrative business, and in a few years, every city will become Eastern Hollywood, and the prices of movie stars will naturally rise. In fact, the endorsement fee of 1 million is not considered high for top-line stars, because now top stars can even earn 2-3 million for movies.
The problem is that they are just starting their business now, Lin Zhaoming only sponsored 500,000, and 1 million is really an astronomical figure for them.
Qiao Wen glanced at the TV. On the screen, the young male protagonist was wearing a vest and a suit, walking on the beach in the Republic of China, looking very handsome.
thought for a while, and said: "Zihui, we have already spent 300,000 of the 500,000 sponsored by Mr. Lin, and now we have 200,000 left, right?"
Lin Zihui touched his nose: "That..."
As a secretary, Qiao Wen didn't manage the accounts directly, Lin Zihui and the accountant were doing the accounts. Seeing the other party hesitating, he couldn't help frowning: "Don't you have two hundred thousand?"
Lin Zihui shook his head violently: "No, no, it should be more than that."
Qiao Wen asked: "Then how much is left?"
Lin Zihui said: "If there are no accidents, there should be another 600,000 yuan."
Qiao Wen: "???"
Lin Zihui quickly explained: "It's like that. After we rented the store, I saw that there were no major expenses in a short period of time, and the stock market was very good, so I withdrew more than 100,000 yuan, bought stocks, and prepared to open the store. If the money is exchanged, if the stock market does not crash for a few days, there should be 600,000 yuan."
Qiao Wen was confused: "You scared me so much, why didn't you tell me when you bought stocks?"
Lin Zihui said weakly: "I'm afraid you won't support it."
Just support with both hands and feet? In the original book, Lin Zihui earned his first pot of gold by speculating in stocks, and later became a super predator in the financial market.
"You are the boss, so I will support you in whatever you do. Besides, I also buy stocks myself, so we can communicate with you." The main reason is to get in the aura of the guy's male lead.
"Really?" Lin Zihui's face beamed when he heard the words, because he was very interested in securities, but those who played with stocks were all gamblers with the mindset of gamblers and didn't know what to do. Qiao Wen also speculated in stocks, and immediately felt that he had found a like-minded expert and wanted to have a good discussion.
However, Qiao Wen was not in the mood to discuss stocks with him at this time. He pointed to the TV screen and said, "The most popular male star in Hong Kong City should be Li Xingchen, right?"
Lin Zihui nodded: "Although serial dramas are still a new thing, TV stars are far more expensive than cheap movie stars. But Li Xingchen is really popular this year, and everyone in the teahouse knows him."
Qiao Wen nodded: "Do you think he looks handsome in a suit?"
Lin Zihui took this quite seriously: "Indeed." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Qiao Wen, "You mean to ask Li Xingchen to advertise for Mengshen."
Qiao Wendao: "Li Xingchen is good-looking and well-known, just in time for the finale of "Love is Priceless", which is the time when the popularity is the highest. As far as I know, the artists on Baozhutai are all paid, and movies with a million-dollar salary Stars can’t compare. Please be the advertising spokesperson of the Dream Body brand, and the price-performance ratio is much higher than that of movie stars.”
Hearing what he said, Lin Zihui made sense, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask my father's secretary to contact you for help, and see how much your quotation is."
Qiao Wen looked down at his watch, and said, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the magazine shoots an advertisement, and we can set off."
Now there is no Internet, the most important way of advertising is newspapers and magazines. Fortunately, in this era, Hong Kong City is a fashion capital that is at the forefront of the world, and the magazine industry is very developed. In order to warm up the brand's opening, we ordered several well-known fashion magazines to advertise.
Because it was a warm-up, only three male models were invited. In view of the colonial culture of worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreigners, all three models were chosen as foreigners.
The two arrived at the magazine office by car, and the photographer was already getting ready in the studio, and then the three ghosts showed up, and they didn't arrive until early three o'clock.
Of course, being late is actually a trivial matter compared to their sloppy work attitude.
Lin Zihui, who was supervising the work next to him, saw his brain jumping, couldn't help but pull Qiao Wen over and spat in a low voice, and said: "The ghosts in Hong Kong City can't get along in their own country. It’s nothing more than a blind streamer who comes here to shake things up and become a high-class person. It’s nothing more than being a model and taking a few photos that are twice as expensive as the Chinese, and he still doesn’t work hard.”
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say it, it is basically in line with the facts. This is the color of a colony, and the most frightening thing is that many local people will unconsciously dwarf themselves and worship foreigners in such a big environment.
patted Lin Zihui, who was filled with righteous indignation, on the shoulder: "I'm going to the bathroom."
It was working hours at this time, and there was no one in the bathroom on the floor. Qiao Wen was walking to the sink to wash his hands after draining the water, when someone walked in from the door.
It was a ghost model filmed today, named Eisen.
He nodded towards the man, but the man raised his brows, showing a frivolous face, and walked directly in front of Qiao Wen, looked him up and down presumptuously, and stretched out his hand to touch his face , and said in English: "Little sweetheart, your body is delicious."
Qiao Wen took a quick step back, bent his lips, and replied in English: "Eisen, you and your family have come to Hong Kong for less than two months to make a living. I advise you to put away your family in your country. Otherwise, if you lose today’s salary, you won’t even be able to pay next month’s rent.”
Just in case, before hiring a few ghosts, I asked someone to inquire about their backgrounds. This tall, long-legged and handsome American guy looks quite glamorous, but in fact he traveled across the ocean to Hong Kong to make a living because of poverty. Nowadays, while working in a bar, part-time as a model, and taking pictures to subsidize the family, he still spends his time wandering around and is full of bad habits.
Seeing that his details had been exposed, Eisen didn't want to lose his reward today, so he resignedly let it go.
At this moment, Lin Zihui pushed the door open and entered. Because of the experience of Qiao Wen being abducted from him several times, seeing the two confronting each other was a bit weird, he suddenly realized sensitively. Like something, he frowned furiously, and shouted at Eisen: "What are you doing?! Believe it or not, I'll call the police and arrest you?" After speaking, he quickly grabbed Qiao Wen, "Awen, don't be afraid, I'm here, dare not do anything to you."
The last time Qiao Wen was abducted, but he was taught a lesson by Anan, and now thinking about it, he still has lingering fears. If Qiao Wen was allowed to suffer losses in his own hands again, Anan probably would have skinned himself.
The current Anan is the famous Red Stick Handsome Nan in the Kowloon Walled City. I have heard someone mention his name in teahouses.
It's okay to be protected by Chen Jianan, after all, the master is there, but it's a bit better to ask Lin Zihui, a gentle scholar, to protect him, Qiao Wen patted him on the shoulder, thinking : "It's okay, don't be nervous." As he said, he looked at Eisen again, "Hurry up and learn to shoot after you're done, we have a contract, and the payment will be deducted if the progress is delayed."
Eisen shrugged, walked to the urinal, and said casually: "I just praised this young gentleman for being handsome."
Lin Zihui was even more furious when he heard the words, he almost rolled up his sleeves and got into a fight with others.
Although he has the aura of a big hero, Qiao Wen visually inspected the physical difference between him and Eisen, and pulled him away without hesitation.
When Eisen came back from the bathroom, his work attitude had improved, but when he looked at Qiao Wen with his eyes, he was still not honest.
Qiao Wen didn't care, after all, he wouldn't have any interaction with anyone else. But Lin Zihui was always facing the enemy, looking at people coldly, and put an end to ghosts.
Just as the filming was drawing to a close, the pretty boy Nan whom Master Hui had been thinking about before unexpectedly arrived unexpectedly.
"Anan, why are you here?" Lin Zihui hadn't seen Chen Jianan for a long time, and he was very pleasantly surprised to meet him for the first time.
"I passed by on business, and I remembered that Xiao Qiao said this morning that he was shooting an advertisement in a magazine this afternoon, so I stopped by to take a look." Chen Jianan nodded towards him, his eyes passed over him without stopping, and landed on Later, Qiao Wen came up, only seeing Qiao Wen's squinting look, and inexplicably showing a subtle guilty conscience, holding his head up and chest out as if trying to cover up, showing a self-confessed frank and hearty person "Xiao Qiao, is your work going well today?"
"It's okay." Qiao Wen nodded, and walked over to look at the road.
I don't know what Chen Jianan is busy with recently. It has been a week and he hasn't touched the bed through the window. He only occasionally calls the Tiantai to practice boxing in the morning. In fact, two big men slept together on a small wooden bed, and it was a tropical city like Hong Kong City, so it was not very comfortable. Then maybe it's because I'm used to sharing the same bed, and this guy hasn't come to patronize me for a long time, but I'm a little uncomfortable with it.
Looking around, Zhang Jun's face was clean in front of him, and he was sure that there should be no fights today.
Being looked at in such a way, Chen Jianan, who has always been as thick-skinned as a city wall, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he hesitated and said: "What do you think I am doing?"
Qiao Wen half-played, "Check to see if you were injured in a fight?"
Chen Jianan immediately said: "I haven't fought for a few days."
Qiao Wen said: "Then what are you busy these days? I haven't seen you coming to my house at night?"
"I..." Chen Jianan was dumb for a while, how could he say that he didn't sleep at home at night, because he became a pervert like Qin Yunfei, and he was afraid that someone would bully him if he couldn't hold back. Falling into his unknown shame and indignation, he blushed instantly.
Qiao Wen just asked casually, and didn't want to get any answer from the text. Seeing his strange expression at this moment, he frowned and asked, "Brother Nan, are you hot? Why are you blushing?"
Fortunately, Chen Jianan's skin was bronzed, not a fair face like Qiao Wen's. Although he blushed, it was not so obvious. raised his palm to pretend to fan the wind, cleared his throat and said, "Yes, it's very hot inside."
Qiao Wen glanced at the photographer, just as it was over, he patted him on the shoulder: "Wait a moment."
I took some red envelopes, and then gave rewards to a few ghosts who finished work.
At the same time, Lin Zihui, who moved to the side of Chen Jianan at some time, complained in a low voice: "The price of these ghosts is so expensive that they will die, and they are all sloppy at work. That golden retriever wants to take advantage of Ah Wen, I think I am a superior person!"
Chen Jianan didn't listen carefully to what he said, but when he heard the phrase "want to take advantage of Ah Wen", he was furious immediately, and asked with wide eyes, "You said that golden retriever wanted to take advantage of Ah Wen?"
Lin Zihui was startled, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, but I don't dare."
Qiao Wen on the other end heard the silence on the other side, turned his head, and shook his head at the two of them.
Lin Zihui understood, and hurriedly said: "Anan, Ah Wen said it's fine, you don't have to worry."
Chen Jianan raised his eyes to look at him, and he happened to pass the red envelope in his hand to the golden-haired ghost, and the two spoke a few words in English, the golden-haired man looked at Qiao Wen's blue eyes, It's clearly malicious.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
He was so angry at the scene that his brain jumped, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and beat him up, when he suddenly remembered that Qiao Wen was at work and couldn't cause trouble for him, so he promptly Constrainedly restraining his impulse, he just said to Lin Zihui indifferently, "You and Xiao Qiao are busy first, I'll wait downstairs."
Lin Zihui saw that he had no intention of attacking Wu, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, blaming himself for having a big mouth at the time, and almost forgot that Anan had a younger brother who was protecting Ah Wen.
Nodded: "Okay, we'll just chat with the editor-in-chief of the magazine and leave soon."
Chen Jianan glared fiercely at the golden-haired Eisen who was about to be unlucky, and left with skin and flesh.
It was twenty minutes after Qiao Wen and Lin Zihui came out of the magazine building.
Chen Jianan was sitting leisurely on his motorcycle, in a very casual and handsome posture. Occasionally, there are girls passing by, obviously they can't help but take a look.
Even Lin Zihui couldn't help leaning closer to Qiao Wen's ear, and said in a low voice, "Anan is a handsome boy, no wonder his nickname is Liangzi Nan."
Qiao Wen glanced at the man from afar, thinking that he was right, and inexplicably stretched out his silk and pride.
Chen Jianan, who was originally in a lazy state, saw the intimate appearance of the two, immediately narrowed his eyes and straightened his eyes, and said, "Xiao Qiao, come and get in the car!"
Qiao Wen nodded, waved goodbye to Lin Zihui, watched him cross the road and got into the car, then walked over slowly and stepped on the back seat of the motorcycle.
Chen Jianan cleared his throat, and said in a strange tone: "You and Yan Yanzi are on a good relationship now!"
Qiao Wen said: "It's my boss, we work together every day, of course it's good."
Chen Jianan stepped into the car, opened the accelerator, and said, "Why do I feel like you are almost as good as me?"
Qiao Wen straightened his head, looked at his side face, and jokingly said, "You won't be jealous of Zihui, will you?"
A warm breath rushed towards his face, Chen Jianan only felt his heart pounding and beating wildly, subconsciously tilted to the side, and said: "How is it possible? What relationship do we have? Eye boy In another ten years, it will not be as good as ten percent."
Qiao Wen nodded: "That's right."
When Chen Jianan heard what he said, his mood instantly improved, and he raised his eyebrows: "It's done, I'm going to start."
Qiao Wen quickly held onto his waist.
In fact, it is very common for two people to "skin on skin". On weekdays, Chen Jianan holds Qiao Wen's hand, just as naturally as holding his left hand with his right hand.
But at this time, being hugged by the person behind him like this, he couldn't help but shivered immediately, and a wave of enthusiasm quickly rushed down.
secretly cursed himself as a beast, and quickly stared twice at the pedals to turn off the car to divert his attention.
At this moment, from the corner of the eye, Qiao Wen caught a glimpse of two rotten-looking people on the sidewalk, covering him with a sack, beating and kicking furiously, and then scattered like birds and beasts after the beating, and ran away without a trace. It was only tens of seconds before and after.
The person on the ground who was beaten and screamed, finally got out of the sack, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was Eisen.
Qiao Wen frowned.
Chen Jianan turned his head and glanced, and said: "These ghosts think that with a white skin, they can do whatever they want in Hong Kong City, and they deserve to be beaten with a sack."
Qiao Wen turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
