Chapter 30 Did the Army Take a Fancy to Me?

Li Wei looked at the paper on the table when he heard it. It turned out that Zhang Feng did not take out all the documents in the car just now. These were some of the micro-endorsement contracts for some large companies. There were even invitations from the military.

“There’s a sneaker brand, a boxing gloves brand, and even energy chocolate…” Zhang Feng explained them one by one.

There were eight endorsement contracts in total. What they have in common was that they did not require advertisement shootings. Instead, just a few photos will do. However, of course, with a lower endorsement fee.

On the one hand, these were all very small brands. Their products were all low-priced goods targeted at young people. Moreover, their influence and business were limited, so they could not afford to pay much. On the other hand, although Li Wei had become famous, he was not the best.

Therefore, it was impossible to offer Li Wei a top-notch endorsement contract all of a sudden. These endorsement contracts came to a total of about 50,000 Empire Dollars, which was equivalent to half of the winnings. Although it was not much, it was meaningful to Li Wei.

Although these were all small brands, he had barely entered the advertising world. However, even if it was just a small splash, he was deemed to have entered the big river. Having this precedent, coupled with his future performance, he believed that more big corporations would favor him in the future.

Besides, there was also an invitation from the military, stating “the Empire’s Southern Defense Forces.” Li Wei was from the Nanjiang province. As its name suggested, this unit was in the same area as Li Wei in terms of geographical location.

That was, in fact, the case. The “Southern Border Army’ was stationed at the border of the Nanjiang province to defend against the invasion of the Alien race.

After their scouts saw Li Wei’s strength, they thought Li Wei was a promising talent. Therefore, they sent an invitation, hoping Li Wei could do something for the human race.

The higher-ups even gave relevant conditions. For example, once Li Wei entered the army, he could skip the rank of a recruit and be treated as a “corporal.” In addition, Li Wei’s benefit and promotion in rank would also increase along with his years of service.

The army’s benefit was naturally great as the human race’s first line of defense. A “corporal” salary was more than 50,000 Empire Dollars a month, not to mention other exceptional benefits.

However, Li Wei did not think for long before he rejected it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “I won’t consider the army for the time being. There’s no need to reply.”

This was obvious. Although the army’s status was very high in society, the overly strict management method did not meet Li Wei’s demands. Once he lost some of his freedom, he would be unable to cultivate freely, let alone the opportunity to see the vast world.

Moreover, although his current strength was ranked highly among the high school students in the province, he was still far from being able to face the Alien race that was far stronger than the human race. Therefore, he would perhaps lose his life in a simple mission. Therefore, he would not consider this path for the time being.

“You wouldn’t have to reply,” said Zhang Feng, “The officer told me they’ll send someone to meet you in two days, wanting to get you to join.”

At this point, the fatty’s face revealed an evil smile. He deliberately shook his thick eyebrows and said, “I heard that the person who would come to persuade you is a great beauty from the army!”

“Hehe, so what? The army is too boring. I can’t stand that kind of life.” Li Wei did not take it seriously at all. Even the army’s commander-in-chief might be unable to convince him of anything, not to mention a beautiful woman.

After dealing with these things, Li Wei and Zhang Feng drank a big pint of beer. Then, Li Wei burped and joked, “Since you’ve dealt with so many things, do you want to be my manager?”

Zhang Feng did not take it as a joke. Instead, he nodded and said, “That’s what I’m thinking. There’s only a week left before the College Entrance Exam. There’s no time at all. It looks like I have no hope with my 0.1 vitality. So, if I become your manager, we won’t have to be separated anymore!”

Zhang Feng had no other choice. He had been stuck at 0.1 vitality until now. Moreover, the College Entrance Exam was approaching. So no matter how rich he was, he could not buy vitality capsules with a tight supply.

He would not be able to go to Imperial Martial Artists University with Li Wei in his current state. Therefore, the fatty simply chose another path. He did not want to go to college anymore.

Since Li Wei would become famous sooner or later, he would need an “assistant” or something to help him deal with all kinds of external school affairs. It would be great for Zhang Feng to do it himself. The money he could earn would not be little either.

How would Li Wei leave his buddy like that? The reason why he had left a carrot on the farm was to repay Zhang Feng.

“But… Can the carrots be brought to reality?” Li Wei could not say anything about this at the moment and could only go back and see what he should do tonight.

After stuffing themselves with food, the two walked out of the restaurant with toothpicks in their mouths.

At this moment, Zhang Feng’s phone rang. He looked at the message and said in a low voice, “Buddy! The money we won from the bet is in!”
