34. An eyesore
On the third day after Huang Chen left, Liu Xin received a call from Pearl, saying that P&G had decided to choose her as the spokesperson for the new season, and asked her to sign a contract with P&G two days later.
When Liu Xin told Sister Ning, the agent, the good news, Sister Ning was a little disbelieving, just because P&G, an internationally renowned brand, has always only chosen first-line big brands as spokespersons. Once Liu Xin successfully endorses P&G this time, Liu Xin's worth will definitely rise with the tide, which can be said to have jumped several steps at once, which is really happy.
"I'll accompany you to sign the contract in two days." Sister Ning quickly recovered her shrewdness and wisdom as an agent, this is the first international brand endorsement Liu Xin has gotten, and she naturally has to take it seriously to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
On the day of the signing, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and even the love of people was also rising, which was a big day and heralded a new beginning.
The business car that Liu Xin and Sister Ning took quickly arrived at the pre-agreed location, and the staff who had arranged to greet them came to greet them, and Liu Xin and Sister Ning followed the staff all the way to the conference room where the contract was signed.
As soon as they sat down in the conference room, the staff brought tea to Sister Ning and Liu Xin, and the director of P&G arrived.
This director is a very shrewd and capable woman, surnamed Li, with a pair of rimless glasses on her eyes, a thin face, some high cheekbones, and her lips tightly pursed. She asked the assistant to distribute the prepared contract to Sister Ning and Liu Xin.
Sister Ning and Liu Xin carefully opened the contract, according to past experience, the conditions and obligations to be fulfilled in the contract were actually very good, and they were not particularly harsh. Even if it is harsh, it is also the responsibility that Liu Xin should fulfill as a spokesperson.
After reading the contract, Sister Ning and Liu Xin glanced at each other and nodded.
Sister Ning said: "The contract is no problem, you can sign it." ”
Director Li is also a cheerful person, "Okay, then sign it." ”
This time, P&G paid Liu Xin $3 million a year for endorsements. For this price, it is far more than Liu Xin's worth, and her previous advertising endorsement fees are far lower than this amount. This is also because P&G is an internationally renowned brand, where is the status of the identity, and it is not in line with its own value if it is less.
It's just that what Liu Xin didn't know was that this price was actually the condition that Leng Lie had negotiated with Pearl at the beginning.
The signing was very successful, Liu Xin was very happy, but she was not a person who had never seen the world, although her heart was as excited as the sea, she still tried to maintain a decent smile on her face, and she looked pampered.
It wasn't until he walked out of the conference room and walked in the corridor on the marble floor that the crisp and cheerful footsteps showed Liu Xin's inner joy.
In the corridor, Liu Xin and Pearl met unexpectedly, and Liu Xin enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Pearl and thank her for giving him this opportunity.
Compared with Liu Xin's enthusiasm, Pearl's eyes were a little cold when she looked at her, not as friendly as the last time she was in Beishan Hot Spring, she seemed a little cold and detached, she nodded at Liu Xin, "You come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
Liu Xin thought that Pearl had an endorsement to explain to him, so he followed her to the reception room next to him.
The reception room is soundproofed, so people on the outside can't hear what people are saying inside, but people inside can see people outside. Pearl leaned against the window and smoked, and Liu Xin sat upright on the sofa, and there was a distance between the two, like a barrier, which opened the relationship between the two people.
Until she came out of the reception room, Liu Xin's mind was in chaos, her steps were vain, her body was weak, and she was almost caught by the elevator door when she entered the elevator, but fortunately, Sister Ning pulled her quickly.
Sister Ning saw that she looked lost and depressed, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?" The endorsement has been signed, do they want to break the contract? ”
Liu Xin looked at Sister Ning sluggishly, shook his head and said, "They don't want to break the contract...... it's just this endorsement...... It's not like she thought it was earned by herself.
Back in the business car, Liu Xin took out his mobile phone from his bag with shaking hands and pressed the phone number that was too familiar to be familiar.
A few seconds later, the phone was connected, and a cold and calm voice came, "Xinxin? ”
Liu Xin's eyes were misty with tears, and he was a little excited, and said with trembling lips: "I want to see you." ”
“…… Good. Leng Lie hesitated and agreed.
In the afternoon, it rained heavily, and the pouring rain poured down from the sky, carrying the power to destroy a qiē. The safflower in the garden of the Millennium Road Villa was devastated, shattered to pieces, and in a mess.
When Leng Lie drove back to the villa on Millennium Road, walked through the messy garden, opened the door and entered, he saw Liu Xin curled up in the corner of the living room with his bare feet buried in the crook of his arm.
The living room of the villa was empty and silent, the shadow shrouded Liu Xin's body, the slender and thin body looked fragile and helpless, and an invisible sense of sadness emanated from her body, lingering in the entire living room, which was so intense that it made people feel frightened.
Before receiving Liu Xin's call, Leng Lie was already mentally prepared, he knew that Liu Xin would know about the transaction between him and Pearl sooner or later, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, as long as Liu Xin was happy, he was willing to give her whatever she wanted. He just wanted to spoil her with all his heart, that's all.
But when Leng Lie saw Liu Xin, who was so fragile and sad in front of him, he was not so sure about his approach. There was a strong premonition that he might have done this time.
"...... Xinxin"
Leng Lie stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands to pick her up from the ground, but hesitated when he bumped into the defensive gaze that suddenly flashed in Liu Xin's eyes.
"Did you make a deal with Pearl?" Liu Xin looked at Leng Lie steadily, looking at this man she had loved for so many years, but she felt that she had never understood him.
"Yes." Leng Lie didn't intend to hide her matter, and when asked at the moment, he told the truth, "You want P&G's endorsement, I happen to cooperate with Pearl, and it's just a big deal to exchange benefits." ”
Liu Xin's clenched fists tightened, his nails pinched into the flesh, and there was a trace of pain, "Then you mean to let Huang Chen leave City C?" ”
Leng Lie silently looked at Liu Xin for a while, not even letting go of the slightest change in the expression on her face, and finally said in a cruel voice that seemed to destroy Yiqiē: "Yes." ”
"Why?" Liu Xin closed his eyes for a moment, there may be uneasiness, sadness, resentment, and incomprehension in his eyes, but when he opened them, he returned to his original appearance, no, there was still a layer of gloomy color, which was the guilt of Huang Chen.
As if it were a ridiculous question, Leng Lie chuckled out, a deep sarcasm and contempt in his dull laughter, "Why? Not why. Just like you hate Han Yuanyuan, I hate Huang Chen, he is too much of an eyesore. ”
