Shen Lingshu calmly took out a tissue and slowly wiped her mouth. " Auntie Zhang, it's bedtime for Little Xing. Take him back to his bedroom."
Shen Xingluo stared in shock at her sister, then at the two empty boxes on the table. She stormed off with Auntie Zhang, her sister no longer loving Little Xing!!!
Shen Lingshu then turned to Old Master Shen: "Tell me, what is the matter that you came here today?"
Elder Shen smiled and put down his chopsticks, "You guessed it all, haha, you truly are my good granddaughter. This weekend is Little Pei's birthday, you two should meet up sometime, get to know each other better, and then get married after Little Pei graduates."
Shen Lingshu stared at Elder Shen and said, "Is it really worth troubling you to come all this way just to talk about this?"
Elder Shen was displeased and slapped the sofa armrest. "You're not going to date or get married, are you? Little Pei is such a good person, handsome and dashing. Although he's a bit younger than you, he's a good match. Old Wang's Old Wang- grandson is already old enough to run errands. Why don't you just find someone to date first!"
Shen Lingshu picked up her bag and stood up. "Whoever made the decision to marry should be the one to get married."
Elder Shen clutched his chest, heartbroken. "Oh dear, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?!"
Shen Lingshu walked towards the door without looking back. "I'm going to the company first. I'll have Uncle Li come and pick you up later." After saying that, she opened the door, the sound of her high heels clicking crisply on the floor tiles, and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.
Elder Shen sat on the sofa, glancing at the empty doorway. His granddaughter was good in every way, except she was clueless when it came to relationships...
Song Shi'an hummed a little tune as he showered, lathering his hair with shampoo. "I love taking showers, my skin feels so good~"
After taking a relaxing shower, I flopped onto the bed and pulled out my phone to check my earnings for the day.
After deducting the cost of ingredients, he made a net profit of 1,500. Staring at the numbers on the calculator, he felt a slight pang of conscience.
Sure enough, those with a conscience earn less; those who use frozen clams and wholesale base ingredients earn at least twice as much profit.
I opened WeChat, and the entire food stall group was asking him when he would set up his stall tomorrow.
He replied, "To be determined. I'll let you know in advance when the stall opens."
Diners had a love-hate relationship with it, sending out more than a dozen "You have no heart" emojis.
Just as I was about to log out, Ji Shuyao's message popped up. "Congratulations in advance, your first endorsement has landed."
Song Shi'an sprang up from the bed instantly, his back ramrod straight.
Endorsement?! What the hell?! Someone actually wants to endorse him?! He's a nobody, a nobody who only plays cannon fodder roles. Who would be so foolish as to hire him for an endorsement?!
The next second, WeChat call came in, and he answered immediately, " Brother Yao! What endorsement are you talking about?"
Ji Shuyao's voice came through, mixed with the sound of turning over documents, " Fengtu PEAKWAY, an outdoor extreme sports brand, watched your wilderness reality show and wanted to collaborate with you. They negotiated a three million yuan endorsement fee for you, with a minimum contract term of six months."
Ji Shuyao certainly wouldn't tell him the truth. Song Shi'an's future commercial value was absolutely immeasurable, and a long-term contract was impossible; six months would be just right.
He doesn't have many projects in the short term, so three million should be enough to cover his living expenses.
Six months later, all his unreleased dramas were aired, and his net worth increased several times over. At that time, he could negotiate endorsements at a completely different price.
Song Shi'an's eyes lit up when he heard "three million." What an amazing company! He'd only been in the industry for two or three months, and already had an endorsement deal. "How much of the three million will I get? Will it be settled after the endorsement shoot?"
"The company takes a cut, and with all the taxes, I'll get around 180 yuan. The payment should be settled after the filming."
Song Shi'an was so excited that he rolled over on the bed, almost falling off. "Okay! No problem! I can go film right now!"
Ji Shuyao rubbed his temples. "Don't get too excited, it's not that fast yet. The endorsement shoot is in extreme outdoor environments, which is different from studio shooting."
Song Shi'an waved his hand dismissively, "One million eight hundred thousand? What's a little outdoor extreme sports? It's fine, I can do it!"
Ji Shuyao sighed, "Alright, then I'll start the procedures. It should be finalized in two or three days at most."
"Okay, okay, Brother Yao!"
After hanging up the phone, Song Shi'an switched to Weibo and searched for Fengtu PEAKWAY.
A high-end professional outdoor sports brand, whose previous spokesperson was an award-winning actor with high brand recognition.
Earning 1.8 million in half a year is like a windfall for someone who's barely known and not even in the public eye.
It must be because the incense he burned during his last mountain climb was the right one; the master's talisman wasn't wasted!
The internal Fengtu surrounding this new spokesperson has been raging for days. The previous spokesperson, an award-winning actor, had his contract expire this year, and his company wanted to renew it but was asking for an exorbitant price.
One of the senior executives at Fengtu is a big fan of survival reality shows, and he happened to see the episode featuring Song Shi'an.
From skydiving from 2,000 meters to being cornered by jaguars, the whole thing was high-energy. He slammed his fist on the table in the conference room and said that this was the person their brand was looking for.
An investigation was immediately conducted, and the student was found to be among the top three students in the Energy Storage Department at Jingchen University, with top-tier academic performance.
Insider information suggests that this is a newcomer that Stars Entertainment is heavily promoting, although she hasn't had a leading role yet, and it's unclear what Stars Entertainment is up to.
Two meetings were held in a row, and several promising young actors were shortlisted. People were sent to communicate with each of them.
Song Shi'an initially thought he could secure the deal with a budget of two million, but Stars Entertainment insisted on three million, and a six-month contract, or they would hire someone else.
Among the several candidates, Song Shi'an stood out the most. His face was so handsome that it didn't need any retouching. Moreover, he wore an older model of Fengtu in the wilderness variety show, which meant he had built-in brand exposure.
The others were even more outrageous in their asking prices; despite not being very famous, they demanded exorbitant amounts, starting at five million.
The marketing department of Fengtu spent the entire afternoon in the conference room analyzing Song Shi'an's data.
Song Shi'an currently has nearly six million fans, all of whom are highly active, with an absurdly high check-in rate on his super topic.
There are several dramas waiting to be broadcast, and their popularity will only continue to rise. In the end, it was unanimously approved, and the contract was signed!
And so, this outrageous endorsement contract of three million for six months was absurdly settled.
Two days later, Fengtu officially released a teaser for its new spokesperson.
A silhouette image accompanied by the concise caption. " Fengtu PEAKWAY's new spokesperson is coming soon."
The comment section instantly became lively.
"The Best Actor's contract has expired? Who's the new spokesperson? Any juicy gossip?"
"That silhouette looks so young, could he be some popular young actor? Fengtu, wake up!"
"If a popular young actor has never even climbed mountains, he's already endorsing an outdoor brand. They'll probably need a body double for the commercials, won't they?"
