After going through the formalities of resuming school, Qin Wei felt very satisfied. On the way to the recording studio to shoot an advertisent in the afternoon, she did not feel tired at all.
At this ti, all the work was considered as a sumr job, and the money earned now was for a better life in the future.
Qin Wei sat in the car reading lines while Li Yao next to her closed his laptop after dealing with emails and asked Qin Wei, “Recently, several live streaming companies have invited you to do live comrce. Do you want to consider it?
To be honest, the pay is quite good.”
Qin Wei turned her head to look at him. Based on what he said, he seed quite hopeful that she would agree.
"What do you think?"
Qin Wei did not reject or agree but asked him instead.
"Many artists are trying it out. I feel it’s not bad."
Li Yao did not state his stand clearly but his implication was apparent.
Earn money, of course he hoped Qin Wei would go for it.
But he was worried that she would rebel and cause trouble if she went.
"Show what kind of live streaming it is."
Since Qin Wei did not reject it outright, Li Yao imdiately opened his laptop and played a live stream for her to watch -
In the livestream, a woman stood in the center of the fra, with products laid out in front of her. She was enthusiastically introducing the products:
"This brand of laundry detergent, my family mbers, listen to . Usually, one bottle costs fifty-nine yuan and ninety cents. Here I have... let's count together! One bottle, two bottles, three bottles , four bottles, five bottles! Two hundred and ninety-nine yuan and fifty cents. But! I asked the factory to give my family mbers a discount!! Family mbers, I told the factories that I won't sell it if it's more than one hundred yuan. The factories said they can't even cover their costs. But it doesn't matter my family mbers. Today, I will personally subsidize it from my own pocket to give back to my family mbers. Look closely now! Five bottles of laundry detergent, today...nineteen yuan and ninety cents, take it! Nineteen yuan and ninety cents, take it!"
At this point, Qin Wei had already whispered “damn” to herself.
Imdiately after, another woman rushed into view, snatched the laundry detergent bottles from her hands and slamd them on the table, yelling angrily:
“What are you doing?! Have you lost your mind? It’s fine if you don't earn money from the livestream but you bought them at a cost price of two hundred yuan to give to the family mbers. I won't say anything. But nineteen yuan and ninety cents?! Isn’t that incurring losses?!"
The female anchor refuted:
"Today I just want to give benefits to my family mbers! No one will think about earning a single cent from my family mbers! I'll pay for the difference personally. As long as my family mbers are happy, I don't care!"
The woman beside her gritted her teeth, looking fierce as she pointed at the female anchor:
“Fine, you’re ruthless enough. How about eighteen yuan? Dare you sell it at that price?”
The female anchor was so angry she laughed:
“You won’t even give a living path. Fine! Eighteen it is then. Still the sa logic, as long as my family mbers are happy, I don’t care! No more nonsense, eight thousand available, share the link!"
Behind them, a group of people suddenly appeared, singing and shouting.
...
Qin Wei was so shocked she turned speechless to look at Li Yao.
Without a word, Li Yao quietly closed his laptop and exited the livestream room.
"Isn't this illegal..." Qin Wei asked him, "how many years can one be sentenced for this?"
Li Yao swallowed and said,
"Alright... let's not go then... At first I rejected it too but they are paying quite a lot so I still asked you..."
Qin Wei shook her head,
"If that is the case, no matter how much they give I won't do it. My reputation is already not good so I should cherish myself more. Don't ntion such things to in future. I won't accept them all."
In his mo, Li Yao noted -
"Live comrce, cross out."
...
In the afternoon she had to go shoot an advertisent endorsing juice. Li Yao had been actively pushing for this since he ca back from a business trip in southwest China. The brand owner was also very nice and enthusiastically responded to the proposal to set up cultivated land for fruit. He took the initiative to fly to Honey Tangerine Town to discuss with Mayor Zhou and they had now signed the contract.
Upon hearing this good news, Qin Wei imdiately ssaged Qiao Sixiao.
After all, she had also helped facilitate this collaboration.
[Qin Wei: The collaboration with honey orange has been confird! The brand has set up plantations locally so the southwest region won't have to worry about market saturation next year. And the brand can also get quality raw ingredients cheaply! Thanks for the hard work Teacher Qiao!]
[Qiao Sixiao: It really has been tiring work. I just ca back from the studio city and tiredly waited for you.]
[Qin Wei: Where are you? Still waiting for ?]
[Qiao Sixiao: ? Didn't Li Yao tell you?]
Tell her what?
Qin Wei racked her brains, did she miss hearing sothing Li Yao said again?
She turned to look quizzically at Li Yao but he seed just as confused.
...
Only upon seeing Qiao Sixiao at the recording studio did Qin Wei realize Li Yao assud she already knew so he didn’t elaborate further.
The concept for the advertisent this ti was similar to the promotional video they fild in southwest China previously. The two of them were selected as co-endorsers again.
As Mayor Zhou had recomnded them, while negotiating with Qin Wei to endorse them, the brand also actively reached out to Qiao Sixiao from Happy Entertainnt.
Qiao Sixiao’s manager, He Hong, did not object to this. Although the endorsent fee was not high, she saw greater value in it. After all, there were official connections behind it and it tied back to a previous charity effort, so no harm continuing the collaboration.
Moreover, this was Qiao Sixiao’s first endorsent in the beverage industry. Getting a huge brand on her debut in this field was a good start.
As for pairing up with Qin Wei for hype...
He Hong deliberated extensively on this too. This CP already had a fixed fan base, although so bashed them, supporters were the majority.
She was currently considering how she could poach Qin Wei over to build up this CP as the agency’s own intellectual property, for the company’s benefit.
“An Xing Entertainnt...Xu Mingchuan...”
He Hong felt it was not yet ti to voluntarily make enemies when interests were not substantial enough. Since she could not monopolize this, then they should achieve mutual benefits.
...
“So slow.”
In the dressing room, as soon as Qin Wei entered, Qiao Sixiao complained,
“Held up by school registration procedures.”
Qin Wei explained.
No wonder she didn't reply to the ssages in the group this morning. Turns out she was busy with work.
"Did it go smoothly?"
While seated in front of the mirror getting her hair and makeup done, Qiao Sixiao asked casually.
Qin Wei sat down too, allowing the makeup artist to start on her makeup. She replied Qiao Sixiao at the sa ti,
“Still alright I guess, though there’ll be military training when school reopens.”
Qiao Sixiao almost burst out laughing,
“You slyly skipped military training previously, then slyly skipped school later. Now not only do you have to go to school but also go through military training. Look at most of your classmates who have smoothly graduated without suffering this. Qin Wei, your calculations failed right?”
Qin Wei retorted,
“I actually feel it’s great. Going through waves of difficulties yet still returning to campus grounds, studying is actually bliss y’know. Qiao Sixiao, you’re just envious!”
“What’s there to envy? You should worry about military training first. It’ll be the hottest ti of the year. Don't co back darker by three shades or you’ll forget, you currently have no skincare endorsents. If you don’t pay attention to sun protection and tan too much in future, no one will dare hire you.
What if you break out again and your looks downgrade?”
Qin Wei rolled her eyes. She didn't have to pretend in front of Qiao Sixiao,
“Darker skin is what I fear the least. It’s only a week, how dark could I get? Speaking of which, this is our first ti getting the sa endorsent you know! Feels like we aren't rivals but partners yea!”
