Li Rui quickly ordered the meal, and after the waiter left, he asked: "Okay baby, can you tell me now, what did the female guest do just now? What did she look for you for?" Yao Xuefei said: "She is the general manager of our City Auction House Co., Ltd., her name is Du Wenqing, she ......" Li Rui frowned when he heard this, and said: "Wait baby, what are you talking about? Let's Qingyang, and there is an auction house?" Yao Xuefei looked at him a little surprised, and said, "Husband, you don't know that there is an auction house in our city, right?" Li Rui smiled bitterly: "I just don't know, I always thought that auction houses exist in metropolises, such as Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, or something, our Qingyang is a fourth-tier city, and there are auction houses?"

Yao Xuefei nodded and explained: "We also have it in Qingyang, and almost every city has it, but the business is relatively simple, mainly responsible for the auction of public property entrusted by the government administrative law enforcement agency and the auction of other property, which is very low-key, and feels as if it does not exist." This is not like those of the world's top auction houses, whose names are well-known and household names all over the world. Li Rui nodded and said, "I understand, and then, what is Du Wenqing looking for you?"

Yao Xuefei said: "She asked me for help, there are two things. She plans to hold a Qingyang art auction in the provincial capital of Jingnan next weekend, the auction object is facing the whole province, and at the same time radiating the surrounding provinces and cities, and it is said that some artists and big bosses in Beijing and Shanghai who are keen on investing in the collection of antique cultural relics will be a high-level auction event. Her purpose was to show her co-ordination, organization and operation skills through this move, and then gain the appreciation of the big boss of the head office, and finally be promoted to the head office as vice president. By the way, the Qingyang Auction House Company where she works is a subsidiary of the Provincial Auction House Company, and she just wants to go to the Provincial Auction House Company to be the vice president, so that she can stand higher, see farther, have more resources in her hands, and develop greater. She's ambitious. ”

Li Rui asked, "Then what kind of favor does she ask you to help the two?"

Yao Xuefei stretched out two slender fingers, shook him and said, "First, she asked me to be the master of ceremonies and host of that auction; second, in order to improve the popularity and grade of that auction and attract more bidders, she asked me to help introduce a well-known star to the stage." She thinks that as a well-known anchor in the city, I should know a lot of celebrities, and I can definitely help her, but ...... Hehe, our Qingyang TV station is just a small station, and usually has no financial resources to invite stars to join the TV program, even if they are willing to bleed occasionally, they can only invite those small stars who are not in the stream, I have hardly cooperated with any big stars, where can I find a well-known star?"

Hearing her say this, Li Rui's mind automatically appeared that the female star Tang Su he met some time ago automatically appeared in his mind, and his heart moved, he could help Xue Fei with this little favor, but he was not in a hurry for the first time, and asked with a smile: "Why would she want to ask you to be the host of the auction?" This auction is not held in the provincial capital, but you are the host of Qingyang City Station, and your popularity is only within the scope of Qingyang, will the people in the provincial city know about you?" Yao Xuefei shook her head and said: " You misunderstood, she asked me to be the host, not for my fame, if she really came for fame, she could have invited the well-known Hua Dan of the provincial TV station. And even if it is a well-known female host from provincial Taiwan, it may not be able to play any role, and it is the star who can really increase the popularity and influence of the auction. ”

Li Rui nodded and asked, "Then why did she ask you to be this host?" Yao Xuefei smiled to herself and said: "The reason why she invited me is because she likes my beautiful appearance and elegant typhoon, which can not only attract the attention of the vast majority of bidders like a vase on the stage, but also perfectly grasp the rhythm of the auction, so that the whole event can be carried out in a noble and elegant atmosphere." In addition, hehe, it's also because I'm cheap, it's cheap and good. Li Rui smiled and asked, "Cheap, how much does she give you an appearance fee?" Yao Xuefei smiled: "Twenty thousand!" Li Rui was taken aback and shouted: "Only twenty thousand?"

Yao Xuefei nodded and said: "Yes, it's only 20,000, you are used to seeing millions of them, so naturally you don't take 20,000 in your eyes, but in fact, those big-name well-known satellite TV hosts have an appearance fee of more than 100,000 or 200,000." A small host like me, who is only famous in a very small range, can give 20,000 yuan is quite high. This is because I have to go back and forth to Jingnan, which includes subsidies for fuel, room and board, and highway fees, otherwise it may only be 15,000. ”

Li Rui patted her thigh and said, "20,000 is not enough to toss, you better not go." Yao Xuefei sighed bitterly: "But I have already promised Du Wenqing, she has a good relationship with me, she has called me a long time ago to talk about this, and today she came to the door to beg me, I don't want to agree to her." The 20,000 yuan benefit fee is secondary, mainly to help her. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, and then the door opened, and a waiter walked into the house with a dish.

Li Rui raised his eyes to look at her, and after she put down the dish and went out, he asked Yao Xuefei: "It's no problem for you to promise her the matter of hosting the auction, but what about that star?" Yao Xuefei frowned slightly, began to make difficulties, and sighed half-loudly: "Alas, there is no way, ask a colleague to see who has a way, there is really no way, so I can only love and help." I have just told Du Wenqing the meaning of being difficult to find, and she also expressed her understanding and asked me to help find it as much as possible, and she herself also found it through various channels, but her way is also very limited. Li Rui asked with a smile: "You help her find a star, she didn't say how much benefit fee she gave you?" Yao Xuefei nodded and said: "I said, if I can find it, depending on the popularity of the star, give me an introduction fee of 5,000 or 10,000." ”

Li Rui asked again: "Then how much appearance fee did she prepare for that star?" Yao Xuefei stretched out three fingers to show him and said, "300,000." Li Rui exclaimed in disappointment: "It's only 300,000?" Yao Xuefei said: "For ordinary stars, the appearance fee of 300,000 is already a lot. You must not know that Zhao Yazhi's current appearance fee is only 300,000. Domestic first-line stars, the appearance fee is one or two million, the second-tier star is seven or eight hundred thousand, the third line is four or five hundred thousand, and the third-line is considered a well-known star......" Li Rui secretly recalled when she heard this, when she first met Tang Su, she seemed to admit that she was a third-tier star, and said busily: "The third-line costs four or five hundred thousand, but Du Wenqing only gives three hundred thousand, which is still one or two hundred thousand." ”

Yao Xuefei said: "It's a little less, but Du Wenqing can only give 300,000 at most, and if she gives more, she won't make money in this auction, and she can't report to the head office as a result." However, she was willing to compensate the star in other ways - allowing the star to auction off a piece of her personal item at auction, no matter how much it ended up selling, the company did not charge any fees, which was equivalent to giving him a chance to make money. This auction will invite a lot of rich bosses, whether it is a tasteful president or a tasteless local tyrant, they must be very vain, and they must be willing to collect the celebrity's personal belongings. ”

Li Rui was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If you say so, then I'll help you try it." Yao Xuefei was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you trying for me?" Li Rui said: "Help you find a star." Yao Xuefei was stunned for a moment, and said with a half-loud smile: "Husband, what are you kidding......?" How can you know a celebrity?" Li Rui said with a smile: "Why is it impossible?" You wait, I'll help you get in touch when you get back. Yao Xuefei asked in surprise: "Who do you want to contact?" Tell me his name, I think I have heard of this star?" Li Rui said: "I have no comment for the time being." Yao Xuefei was angry, raised her hand and twisted it under his ribs, and said, "Oh, husband, you hate it, and you still sell it to me, do you believe it or not, I bite you......"

The two quarreled, but Li Rui always gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. Yao Xuefei had no choice, so she didn't ask later, and she enjoyed lunch with him with disgust.

After eating, the two returned, before entering the building, Li Rui asked Yao Xuefei to go up first, stay downstairs by himself, find a secluded place, take out his mobile phone, and send a text message to Tang Su.

Tang Su was very interesting, and quickly replied to him: "Are you free, what are you doing?"

Li Rui smiled slightly and immediately called her. After the phone was connected, Tang Su's lazy voice sounded on the other end: "It's so annoying, I won't even get a good night's sleep." Li Rui asked a little nervously, "Are you sleeping?" Tang Su said: "Yes, just squinted, it woke you up with a text message." Li Rui shouted: "Oh, then I deserve to die." Tang Su said with a smile: "Come on, if you have saved the car before you read it, this palace will spare you for the death penalty." Li Rui saw that she was as kind and easy-going as she had ever been to herself, and she didn't take a fight, so she breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and said, "Big star, I ask you for help if you have something...... told Yao Xuefei what she said just now.

Tang Su said after listening: "If you have something to ask me for help, such as getting married, giving birth to a child or something, then you don't have to give a penny of appearance fees, and there is no other trouble, I will rush over without saying a word, but what you are talking about now is a commercial performance, and I, as an artist affiliated with an acting company, cannot have autonomy, you have to negotiate with my company." Of course, without you coming forward, I can tell the boss of my company about this for you, and I can also get some discounts in terms of appearance fees, but things have to be done like this, I will explain it to you now, so that you don't have to complain that I am not enough friends in the future and play a big name with you. ”
