The next day, Nagdo Entertainment.

Lan Qi Jewelry is a man of action, and the next day he brought someone to the door to discuss the endorsement in detail.

On this day, Xue Mingyuan was unexpectedly silent, and seemed to be led by the brand to complete a series of signing processes, and after that, he took out the VAM agreement signed with Wen Jiang and checked it repeatedly.

If Wen Jiang really wins the bet, it will be a win-win situation, after all, he has brought 700 million net profits to the company, but if he loses the bet, he only has tens of millions to take, but selfishly, he does not want Wen Jiang to become the winner in this gambling treaty.

In other words, if a person can bring a net profit of 700 million yuan to the company within a year, the value of his own existence will exceed 99.9% of the company's artists, including Yun Shanchu.

Once Wen Jiang sits in this position, most of the resources in the market will be tilted towards him, and Yun Shanchu, who he has cultivated with exhaustion of energy and money, will become a complete joke.

And now, with a gambling contract of 700 million, Wen Jiang got 10 million from Lanqi Jewelry, and the company got 8 million, although there is still a galaxy away from 700 million, but the galaxy is not impossible to cross.

Xue Mingyuan raised his head from the document and looked at Wen Jiang.

How did he do it, the eighteen-line paste coffee got the endorsement of the world's top jewelry brands, is this like a word?

This thing is like a wind with long feet sweeping through every corner of the company.

All artists know that the eighteen-line paste coffee who climbed the pig's head bed for money won the world's top endorsement.

in the lounge.

"It's crazy, Wen Jiang got the endorsement of Lanqi Jewelry, I really can't figure out how he did it, I can't even see Lanqi's agent, where did he stop it......"

"But I remember that Lan Qi had the intention of looking for Shanchu's younger brother to be the spokesperson, what's the matter, walking people to play?"

The artists who had just finished the event sat in groups in the lounge, and the topic was more or less inseparable from Lan Qi's spokesperson.

Yun Shanchu took the coffee handed by the assistant, took a sip casually, and smiled at the others: "The other party must have their plans to do this, it can only be said that I am not as good as others, and everyone doesn't have to feel sorry for me." ”

"How can it be, the brand doesn't know the goods, and when I have eaten enough delicacies from the mountains and seas, I want to try some Indian street food." Artists, you and I comforted Yun Shanchu with every word.

Yun Shanchu smiled lightly on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but scold these people for being stupid: Shut up if you don't know how to comfort, what to taste, am I tired of being eaten? It's no wonder that one by one is still a third-line paste coffee, just this emotional intelligence, it's not strange.

"I'll go out and breathe, you talk." Yun Shanchu got up and walked out.

As a result, going out to breathe became a blockage, and I just saw the brand and Wen Jiang talking and laughing passing by, listening to this meaning, it seems that I want to take a short interview for Wen Jiang and hang it on the official website.

The brand side who would always say hello when they met before, but this time they just made a simple eye contact with him, nodded and said hello, and then put all their attention on Wen Jiang.

How realistic, capitalists.

Most of the interviews with Wen Jiang this time are also step-by-step "talk about your understanding of our brand" or "where is the fate of your and our brand", and so on.

A few questions once in a while, but it's still valuable.

The host asked: "Recently, Mr. Wen's complexion is very good, and they all say that mood affects complexion, can you share anything happy with us?" ”

Wen Jiang stared at the camera, and suddenly raised a childlike smile, innocent and clear, as if he got something beloved and couldn't wait to show it off to everyone:

"The night before, I had dinner with my friends."

Compere:?

Director: ???

So where is the joy of such a trivial thing as eating with friends?

"Haha." The host laughed dryly, "That must be a very good friend, or a friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time?" ”

Wen Jiang thought seriously, and that serious expression seemed to others as if he was trying to think about why he was happy.

After a long time, he stretched his eyebrows and said softly: "It's not, it's just ...... For the first time, someone had dinner with me. ”

Silence, deathly silence.

Should I believe it or not, whether I believe it or not, it seems normal with his rotten and smelly reputation; Speaking of faith, in all fairness, with such a face, he has not even had anyone willing to eat with him for half his life, which is simply a tyrannical thing.

"Hey, no, don't all boys like to eat and play basketball in groups when they're studying?" The host thought so and asked so.

Wen Jiang still smiled: "However, there will always be one or two outliers." ”

He used the word "other" to describe himself, summing up his student life in two simple words, for young children, how cruel it is to be isolated, it is tantamount to the sky falling, but many years later, when he looks back at this past, he realizes that it seems that he went against the flow of people at that time, nothing more, no big deal.

On the contrary, I have to thank the isolation at that time, and put an end to a lot of useless socialization after growing up and becoming famous.

"It's Wen Jiang! Do you remember me? I sat in the back seat of you in high school and asked you to borrow a pen. My girlfriend likes you very much, so for the sake of my old classmates, I will sign it. ”

"I don't remember, I don't remember."

At the end of the interview, the brand made an appointment with him for a fashion dinner next week and gave him a list of dinner invitations.

And the first place on the list is the three big characters "Huo Qingzhang".

In addition, there are many lists of artists who have appeared in the original text, and the male protagonist Yun Shanchu is naturally the first to bear it, as well as the name that makes people a little concerned - Ai Lan.

That night, Lanqi Jewelry announced the spokesperson of the new season and the guest list of this fashion dinner in the official V:

[Clear as jade, heart like gold - Lanqi Jewelry 2023 spokesperson Wen Jiang @ Wen Jiang joined hands with the stars to invite you to participate in the Shalumei fashion dinner. 】

As soon as this V article was released, the comment area at the bottom exploded.

【Who??? Did I read it wrong or did you make a mistake? WJ？ 】

[There are a lot of strange things every year, and this year, Lan Qi's new spokesperson is a plague chicken? Are you planning to cut a wave of leeks at the end and then run away with the money? Otherwise, I can't figure out why I found an eighteenth line as a spokesperson. 】

[This kind of local bun can participate in a fashion dinner, it seems that the pig-headed gold owner is very satisfied with him, and this kind of top-level resources have been brought to him. 】

[Hehehehe, it seems that Lan Qi is too moisturized and wants to find some excitement. 】

【WJ Beef Batch!! Let Ai Lan and Yun Shanchu be the foil for you, and the person who is good at kung fu in bed is a cow batch, and he doesn't want anything. 】

[The IQ of the Lanqi brand has plummeted, is it really planning to run away with money? ] So start to rot? 】

Not surprisingly, the comment section was still full of ridicule.

Wen Jiang has been debuting for six years, what kind of remarks have not been seen, he has learned to close his ears and eyes and not see, if he can't see, he doesn't have it, and if he doesn't have it, the years are quiet.

The cranberry biscuits specially baked for Huo Qingzhang last time were ruthlessly rejected by him and have been put aside by Wen Jiang in preservation, although the appearance looks remarkable, but only Wen Jiang, who has tasted the taste, knows that it is unpalatable and has a greasy feeling of entanglement.

Today, he suddenly wanted to eat something sweet, so he mashed the leftover biscuits and added some egg liquid butter to make a mille-feuille chocolate cake.

But when he picked up the biscuit and put it to his mouth and smelled the sweet smell of the cake, his stomach suddenly turned upside down, and he immediately went to the bathroom and retched with the toilet.

At first, he thought that he had eaten a bad stomach, but after calming down, he picked up the cake and smelled it, and it was another upside down.

After thinking about it, he believes that the source of all misfortune is biscuits that may spoil if left too long.

When he went to sleep, he had the same dream, and the carp with a golden bead in its mouth kept jumping out of the water, and he walked along the pond, and the carp kept following, and kept making strange noises from its mouth.

When he woke up, he still had the same question: Can fish call?

The other side.

Huo Qingzhang finished the day's work and was just about to turn off the computer and go home, when a new message suddenly popped up on WeChat.

He clicked on it casually and saw that it was a fashion dinner invitation sent by the Lanqi jewelry brand, and made a dynamic video, and the homepage was the makeup photo of the new spokesperson and a small video of his interview.

Huo Qingzhang was not interested in these things, and wanted to turn them off directly, but when the mouse moved to "X", he couldn't click on it.

After a long time, he moved the mouse to the play button in the middle of the video and pressed it.

Wen Jiang in the video is wearing a simple and simple white shirt, looking clear and clean, and he is also down-to-earth and generous when facing the camera, not pretentious at all, when asked if he has been happy recently, his expression shows a little naïve:

"My friend accompanied me to dinner."

The host was puzzled, just what was there to be happy about having a meal with friends, but his answer was, "Because he has been an outlier for too long, it is a great gift to him to have someone willing to eat with him." ”

Huo Qingzhang rubbed the mouse wheel, and the page kept scrolling, but he didn't read a word of what was written on the back of the invitation.

He thought that he took the initiative to give Wen Jiang three wishes, and he could take this opportunity to get everything he wanted, fame, money, and status, but all he wanted was a simple dinner.

Is it a desire from the heart or just a show to sell miserably.

is a scheming like Wen Jiang, probably the latter is the majority.

The invitation slides to the end, and in the end there are two options, go or not.

Huo Qingzhang didn't even have the idea of clicking in at first, and the choice was self-evident, but when he saw Wen Jiang's makeup photo and chose to click on the invitation, the situation went in a strange direction.

He suddenly wondered what kind of amazing thing he could do at the dinner party when the infamous Eighteenth Parallel got a top-level endorsement that was completely unequal to his status.

Huo Qingzhang chose to go.

*

On the day of Salomet's fashion dinner.

The fashionable charity dinner with the theme of fundraising has become a big stage for artists to compete for beauty, and only Wen Jiang is still running around various charities before the dinner starts, helping them sign up and fill out the fundraising application.

In the course of the visit, he got a message from the recipient, a little girl born in the mountains at the age of ten, her mother left early, her father fell from the scaffolding and caused high paraplegia, in order to take care of her father to subsidize the family, she had to drop out of school, climb 20 kilometers of mountain roads every day to the county tourist area to peddle wild fruits, she has been to the farthest place, that is, this barren small county town.

The charity hopes that Wen Jiang can also take her children to a fashion dinner to see the scene of the big city, and give her a little hope in life.

No matter how bad it is, the child is too thin and malnourished for a long time, so it is okay to go to the dinner party and eat something delicious.

When Wen Jiang saw this girl, she was wearing an old school uniform donated by the city, a child at this age has grown up quickly, and the school uniform has long been out of shape, although it is shabby, but it is clean.

When the girl first came to the city, her skin was black and rough due to the wind and sun, and with the shame of inferiority, she took the initiative to hand Wen Jiang a bag of wild fruits, saying that she had picked them from the back mountain.

Wen Jiang took her to buy new clothes, children's clothes are not too expensive, but when she heard that a dress costs four or five hundred, she had a strong resistance, saying that she didn't want anything, Wen Jiang insisted on paying, but saw the girl standing alone in the corner, looking at the people at the door and shedding tears.

The shopping guide didn't know why the girl was crying, and thought that she didn't like these clothes and had a little emotion, so she hugged her and comforted her that it didn't matter if she could pick again.

But only Wen Jiang knew that the girl's tears were the fragile self-esteem of a ten-year-old child.

Just like Wen Jiang when he was a child, he was used to picking up clothes that his younger brother didn't wear, and when the mysterious kind-hearted man suddenly bought him a high-end children's clothes, he was like this girl, refusing to accept it and shedding tears.

Wen Jiang returned the clothes she had just bought, took the girl home and measured her size, and changed some of her old clothes that she didn't wear into children's clothes according to the girl's ideas.

The fashion dinner was held at the seaside Shell Hotel, and when Wen Jiang led the girl to appear, everyone cast curious eyes and whispered behind their backs, "It's really good at showing, borrowing the poor child to wash white, shameless." ”

But when Yun Shanchu also led the child brought from the welfare home to appear, everyone praised:

"Teacher Yun is really beautiful and kind-hearted, and when he makes money, he doesn't think about enjoying himself, but always thinks about those poor children who can't eat."

The girl saw such a luxurious scene for the first time, and she walked nervously with her hands and feet, silently following Wen Jiang, and almost stepped on Wen Jiang's heel several times.

Wen Jiang was afraid that she would not feel comfortable, so he took her to the corner and sat down, and brought her some snacks to eat.

Although Wen Jiang is now the spokesperson of Lan Qi's jewelry, the Vanity Fair dinner focuses on a reality, and everyone prefers to talk around Yun Shanchu's top line of class than the protagonist, hoping to save eyes in front of him.

Some people also took the initiative to chat with Wen Jiang, but Wen Jiang only responded lukewarmly, and there was no desire to chat at all, and everyone didn't want to stick his cold ass with a hot face and leave with fun.

Therefore, a strange circle was magically vacated next to Wen Jiang's seat.

Huo Qingzhang saw this scene when he arrived at the scene:

The artists greeted each other warmly, and Wen Jiang sat in the corner and no one cared.

Involuntarily, he thought of Wen Jiang's sentence "There will always be one or two outliers".

So, he's an outlier again, isn't it?

But he was not interested in being the great benevolent person who reached out to the isolated, so he sat in the same row as Wen Jiang from two or three seats.

The staff trotted to remind Huo Qingzhang: "Representative Huo, your seat is in the VIP seat in the first row." ”

Huo Qingzhang looked ahead and said casually: "It's okay here, I don't like too bright environments." ”

But where Huo Qingzhang sits, where it is destined to be the center of the storm, the artists who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix take the initiative to come over to talk, followed by the CEOs of various companies, and in the excitement of a group of people, it seems that Wen Jiang is even more deserted.

It wasn't until the dinner officially began that everyone's attention turned to the host on stage.

As usual, it was another boring and lengthy opening remark, and the host continued:

"Today I would like to introduce you to two little distinguished guests."

He stepped off the stage quickly, half-squatted beside Yun Shanchu, and handed the microphone to the little boy brought by Yun Shanchu.

The child was wearing expensive children's clothes and sitting in Yun Shanchu's arms, looking very clever and cute.

Adults seem to like to use money to measure a person's kindness, and the host deliberately touched the children's clothing logo on the boy's chest, pretending to be surprised: "Wow! This dress must be expensive, who bought it for you? ”

The little boy whispered into the microphone: "Dad bought it for me, and he bought me lots and lots of toys, and took me to eat Boston lobster." ”

"Huh? What's your father's name? ”

"My father's name is Yun Shanchu, and he is my father." The little boy plunged into Yun Shanchu's arms, his face full of happiness.

Yun Shanchu took the microphone and said with a smile: "In order to prevent everyone from misunderstanding, I still explain that Tong Tong is an orphan funded by me, this child's parents left early, there is no old man at home, and he was sent to a welfare home, probably because of fate, he called me dad affectionately when I saw him for the first time, so I decided that I would continue to sponsor him until he became an adult." ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience applauded like thunder.

Everyone agreed that Yun Shanchu no longer needs to rely on any external factors to improve his image at this point, and his reputation is obvious to all, so sponsoring orphans is definitely a good deed from the heart, just like his name - curb evil and promote good, and never forget the original intention.

The artists who never forget their acting skills have covered their mouths and tears at the moment when the camera passed.

After the interview, Yun Shanchu trotted to Wen Jiang and half-squatted down, poking the microphone into the girl's mouth.

The moment the camera crossed, the artist's reverie-inducing expressions were filmed, from the textbook-level crying scene just now to an indifferent ice cube face for a second.

More than a dozen cameras were filmed at the girl, and the girl hid behind Wen Jiang timidly.

In order to ensure the smooth process, the host forcibly pulled the girl and smiled at the camera: "Ruohe is really a beautiful little girl, but it's a pity that fate took her badly and took her mother's life early, and her father made the already barren family even worse because of high paraplegia." ”

Ruohe blinked slightly, and a slight redness gradually appeared around his eyes.

Wen Jiang gently turned off the host's microphone and said with a smile: "Who can say for sure about such a thing as fate." ”

The host was red-faced, unhappy, and had to change the topic.

He leaned close to the girl's chest, looked at the clothing brand label next to her pocket, and pretended to be surprised: "It seems that Mr. Wen loves Ruohe very much, and the clothes he bought for Ruohe are all expensive Zegna." ”

Silence, deathly silence.

Yun Shan thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "The host also has a time when he looks away, Zegna is an adult men's clothing brand, and I haven't heard that it also produces girls' children's clothing." ”

All:......

Do I just laugh or wait?
