Seeing Chu Chen's unyielding attitude, Chu Yu sighed softly, unable to keep up the pretense any longer, and laid her cards on the table.
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. The magazine offered 1.5 million for a photoshoot. If you're willing to participate, we'll split it 50/50."
Chu Chen remained unmoved.
Dividing 1.5 million into two equal parts, that's only 750,000 per person. For Chu Chen, that's not that tempting.
Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; then he would have to raise the stakes further.
"40/60!"
Chu Chen bargained. "Two or eight!"
Chu Yu's face darkened immediately. "Why don't you just kill me?"
Seeing that his sister seemed to have reached her limit, Chu Chen conceded, clearing his throat with a cough, "Then let's go for 46."
On the way back to his room, Chu Yu appeared to have a serious expression, but inside he was practically beaming with joy.
Her younger brother is still too inexperienced.
Originally, Chu Yu's bottom line was that she was prepared to give all the photography fees to Chu Chen.
After all, for Chu Yu, the most important thing about shooting for this magazine wasn't the money, but rather maintaining her position in the fashion industry.
But to my surprise, Chu Chen agreed so quickly.
Chu Yu returned to her room and sent the good news of accepting the invitation to Zhang Yue and Xu Ruiqiu before finally feeling at ease and pulling the blanket over herself to go to sleep.
The night was quiet, with the leaves rustling in the evening breeze.
The next morning, as dawn broke.
Chu Yu was still asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a cell phone ringing.
She picked up her phone, still half-asleep, and glanced at the screen.
Caller ID: Zhang Yue.
"Hello? Sister Zhang, what's up now?"
" Xiao Yu, wake up! Yu Wei and her artist are trying to snag a cover shoot for GI Magazine!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu immediately came to his senses.
They're taking her life away, how can she tolerate that?
As Chu Yu dressed, she spoke to Zhang Yue, "Sister, make sure you stop Yu Wei before I get there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yu decisively hung up the phone and hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up and put on makeup.
Yu Wei, the agent who has long had a fierce rivalry with Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue and Yu Wei joined the company at the same time, and they were as close as sisters.
But then an incident occurred that caused their relationship to break down completely, turning them into bitter enemies.
Over time, Zhang Yue and Yu Wei formed a clearly defined opposing camp within the company, always vying to outdo each other in everything.
As Zhang Yue's artist, Chu Yu naturally had to stand on Zhang Yue's side.
Fifteen minutes later, Chu Yu, who had quickly put on some everyday makeup, hurriedly kicked open Chu Chen's door.
"Little brother, wake up! Our pocket money is going to be stolen!"
Chu Chen, who was never used to locking the door when he went to sleep, was lifted up by Chu Yu without any warning.
Chu Chen started to get a headache. " Chu Yu! Can't you act like a woman for once?"
Chu Yu's almond-shaped eyes showed a hint of confusion. "What do you mean by 'can't I act like a woman?' I am a woman."
Chu Chen was so angry that his temples throbbed.
Forget it, a good man doesn't argue with a woman.
Under Chu Yu's pressure and urging, Chu Chen quickly washed his face and changed his clothes.
Chu Yu stood opposite him, arms crossed, looking Chu Chen up and down in his white old-man's shirt. "No, this isn't handsome enough. Change him into another one."
Chu Chen: "... What exactly are you taking me to do?"
"It's robbery! Oh no, you can't say that. It's taking back the pocket money that's rightfully ours, which is the magazine photoshoot I told you about last night."
Chu Yu was having a good chat with the editor-in-chief. As long as she signed the contract today, the 1.5 million yuan shooting fee would be hers.
But now Yu Wei and her artists have gotten involved again.
Rounding up, isn't this just Chu Yu and his friend's pocket money?
It took Chu Chen several minutes to finally figure out what had happened.
After all, Chu Chen also received a share of the photography fee.
Chu Chen, unusually, didn't argue with Chu Yu and turned around to change his clothes.
This outfit consists of a light blue sweatshirt paired with light-colored jeans, giving off a sunny, youthful vibe.
Chu Yu repeatedly stroked her chin, a maternal smile spreading across her face. "Not bad, this one's alright. Let's go."
When Chu Sister Yu left the hotel, they were dragging a large pile of luggage behind them.
The two happened to run into An Ya and her brother, who were also preparing to leave.
" Xiao Yu, you're leaving too? See you next week for the recording." An Ya waved to her.
"Alright, see you next week!"
After exchanging greetings, Chu Yu got into the van.
Chu Chen followed closely behind and got into the car.
Just then, he remembered the matter of Gu Jinhuai's ulterior motives towards his sister.
Chu Chen coughed, but it was a difficult thing to say, and he didn't know how to start.
It wasn't until Chu Yu noticed something was wrong with him that she glanced at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Chen: "Nothing."
Chu Yu: "Oh~"
"Actually..." Chu Chen couldn't help but speak up, "I think there's something wrong with that Gu Jinhuai."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu also became curious, "What's the problem?"
"Don't you think the way he looked at you in the haunted house was weird?"
Chu Yu pondered carefully.
When did Gu Jinhuai look at her? How come she didn't know?
Seeing that his sister was still so dense, Chu Chen felt a surge of exasperation and disappointment.
"In short, you absolutely must be careful of Gu Jinhuai, understand?"
At this moment, Chu Chen really did have the air of a little adult.
"Okay, I understand."
