Chapter 198: Long Time No See

Chapter 198

After going through the formalities of resuming school, Qin Wei felt very satisfied. On the way to the recording studio to shoot an advertisement in the afternoon, she did not feel tired at all.

At this time, all the work was considered as a summer 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 commerce. 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 seemed 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. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

"Show me what kind of live streaming it is."

Since Qin Wei did not reject it outright, Li Yao immediately opened his laptop and played a live stream for her to watch -

In the livestream, a woman stood in the center of the frame, with products laid out in front of her. She was enthusiastically introducing the products:

"This brand of laundry detergent, my family members, listen to me. 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 members a discount!! Family members, 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 members. Today, I will personally subsidize it from my own pocket to give back to my family members. 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.

Immediately after, another woman rushed into view, snatched the laundry detergent bottles from her hands and slammed 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 members. 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 members! No one will think about earning a single cent from my family members! I'll pay for the difference personally. As long as my family members 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 me a living path. Fine! Eighteen it is then. Still the same logic, as long as my family members are happy, I don’t care! No more nonsense, eight thousand available, share me the link!"

Behind them, a group of people suddenly appeared, singing and shouting.

Qiao Sixiao’s manager, He Hong, did not object to this. Although the endorsement 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 endorsement 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 some 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 Entertainment...Xu Mingchuan...”

He Hong felt it was not yet time 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 messages 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 same time,

“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 time of the year. Don't come back darker by three shades or you’ll forget, you currently have no skincare endorsements. 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 time getting the same endorsement you know! Feels like we aren't rivals but partners yea!”
