Chapter 143 She's still a baby
Song Daishan felt uneasy. He took several deep breaths before gripping the armrest with one hand and answering the phone with the other.
"Mr. Zhang, how have you been? What big project have you been busy with lately?"
As usual, Song Daishan first exchanged a few pleasantries.
The other party's attitude was very cold; they responded with a few "uh-huhs" and "yeahs," and then impatiently said:
"Little Song, Little Song, I'm not trying to be mean, but we've been friends for so many years, why are you still keeping things from me?"
Song Daishan's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, it seems it's not just a seven-day no-questions-asked policy, but a refund-only policy!
Song Daishan, utterly despondent, made one last desperate attempt: "Mr. Zhang, the contract we signed includes a penalty clause for breach of contract..."
Mr. Zhang asked in bewilderment, "Breach of contract penalty? What would I need that for?"
He suddenly tensed up: "No, Xiao Song, you're not thinking of breaching the contract, are you? Which brand contacted you? Is it Lao Wang's company?"
Song Daishan was stunned.
Not a return?
Mr. Zhang, as if facing a formidable enemy, spoke eloquently:
"How much did they quote? Ha, they're so cunning, all they know is how to engage in these dirty business battles!"
"It's just a matter of paying more money, anyone can do that! Xiao Song, I want more money! Our brand is determined to get this endorsement!"
With just a few words, he completely baffled Song Daishan, the top agent.
Before he could even say a word, Gu Yan's endorsement fee had already skyrocketed?
"As expected of President Zhang! President Zhang is so magnanimous!"
Mr. Zhang's hearty laughter came through the receiver, but he quickly changed the subject:
"Yao Mei's management contract, really not with you? If she agrees to be a spokesperson, this price is negotiable. I'm willing to pay this amount..."
The price he quoted left Song Daishan speechless.
Gu Yan's endorsement fee was already quite high, but the price that President Zhang offered to Wen Yao was astronomical!
Compared to Wen Yao, Gu Yan was practically the freebie in a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
"I will pass on your message," Song Daishan said politely before continuing with his other tasks.
Without exception.
It all boils down to two words: simple and straightforward.
Add money!
And countless business collaborations have emerged!
Instant noodle brands, juice brands, hotel brands...
Even brands of sleeping bags and diapers have extended invitations...
Song Daishan never expected that Gu Yan's participation in a live-streamed variety show would bring him back to the peak of his career!
All of this is thanks to Wen Yao.
A thought flashed through his mind: he wondered if Wen Yao had any plans to enter the entertainment industry...
...
Paradise Island.
The brother and sister had eaten and drunk their fill and were just about to make do for the night when a man wearing a black hood suddenly appeared, looked around, and acted extremely suspiciously.
Wen Yao and Gu Yan exchanged a glance.
"I think there's a reward for acts of bravery?"
"What are you waiting for? Go!"
The brother and sister yelled and rushed forward, pinning the hooded man to the ground in no time!
"hiss……"
The hooded man could no longer contain himself and gasped, uttering a curse in English before switching back to Chinese.
"I'm a good person, a really good person!"
Gu Yan: "Palace Jade Liquor Wine, minus one large hammer and one small hammer, equals what?"
The hooded man froze, "What are you talking about?"
Wen Yao: "What is your purpose in coming to China?"
The hooded man: "..."
He struggled desperately, but the brother and sister were both incredibly strong, and he couldn't budge an inch.
Wen Yao ripped off his hood, revealing a handsome face with striking features.
A jarring pink bow adorned her long, grey hair, and her icy blue eyes were as deep as the ocean.
She was taken aback: "Foreigner?"
The man asked incredulously, "That's it?"
Wen Yao: "Otherwise what? You can't be an alien, can you?"
man:"……"
His eyes widened in disbelief; the little devil Wen hadn't recognized him!
"Ha, say whatever you want, I don't care. Laughable! You think your words can hurt me? Let me tell you, they won't!"
In the live stream, someone noticed something was wrong.
[Why does this foreign guy seem to know Meibao?]
[Could it be another ex-boyfriend? Sigh, our little sister isn't a bad girl, she's still a baby, it's normal for her to be playful, please forgive her / rose]
Wen Yao's fans are probably the most tolerant I've ever seen on the entire internet... If I really suspected she was dating ten men at the same time, you would all advise her to keep it hidden.
...
After a while.
Wen Yao and Gu Yan released the gray-haired man.
The man's chest heaved violently. If his Chinese was good enough, he would know a word that goes like this:
Easily damaged constitution.
He dusted himself off, and despite being so angry he was practically witty, he still reached into his pocket and scattered a huge amount of stuff into the air.
The banknotes fluttered down and fell to the ground in the sea breeze.
Wen Yao:?
Gu Yan: ?
The two looked at him, puzzled.
The man angrily retorted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen money being thrown around like that before?"
puff……
The brother and sister laughed simultaneously, and this unintentional synchronization further enraged the man.
He immediately threw out even more banknotes.
Holy crap! It looks like real money!
[It's in Euros and US dollars, folks. Just what he just threw away is worth over six figures in RMB...]
[Live stream paused! Where is Paradise Island? I need to go pick up money!!]
...
Unaware of what was happening, passersby gathered around, but no one dared to pick it up.
"Don't get me wrong, this money isn't for you," the man stubbornly insisted. "I was just throwing it away out of boredom."
Gu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Dude, what exactly is that thing between your ears?"
The man said arrogantly, "It's a smart gadget."
Gu Yan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
man:?
He realized that he seemed to have misused the Chinese word.
"I have nothing to say to you." The man, enraged, turned and strode away.
Wen Yao and Gu Yan exchanged a glance.
"To pick it up or not?"
"It's a waste not to pick up money when you have it!"
The brother and sister reached an agreement and bent over to pick up the money from the ground.
Wen Yao also found a pink ribbon, and she seemed lost in thought.
It appears to be the ribbon that the man used to tie his hair.
The taste is quite unique; a grown man wearing a pink bow tie.
Haters who couldn't find any fault with the siblings finally seized the opportunity.
Isn't this breaking the rules? What happened to the agreed-upon part-time job?
[The show is just like the script! The treatment of the variety show's "royal family" is really good. Yesterday they easily became rich, today they receive a windfall. I feel sorry for the other guests.]
Does finding money mean you can keep it? I just want to say, where is their sense of decency? Where is their morality? Where is the law? This is unjust enrichment! The program is spreading a completely negative message! I strongly urge the relevant departments to hold them legally accountable!
The haters were filled with righteous indignation, but little did they expect—
Wen Yao and Gu Yan didn't spend a single penny; instead, they handed over all the money they found to the police officers!
The barrage of negative comments in the live chat instantly fell silent!
