He immediately said, "You need to have confidence in yourself. Just because you're not famous now doesn't mean you won't be in the future. The reason I want you to be a spokesperson is because I believe you have great potential."
"But..." Xia Qianqian started to say something, but Liu Yifeng cut her off.
"No 'buts'. Unless you don't want to be the spokesperson for my vegetable company."
Hearing this, Xia Qianqian quickly replied, "How could that be? Of course, I'm happy if someone asks me to be a spokesperson. It's just that I'm afraid it won't be effective. We're friends after all, and if it's not effective, I'll feel guilty."
Liu Yifeng looked unconcerned. "It's fine. I'm not worried, so why should you be? Mu Qing, do you think Qianqian's image is suitable for my vegetables as a spokesperson?" he asked Xu Mu Qing.
Xu Mu Qing immediately nodded. "Setting aside everything else, Xia's appearance alone fits contemporary aesthetics. I think it's worth a try." Although she was bothered by Liu Yifeng's relationship with her, she was not someone who would lie.
"Do you hear that? Mu Qing says so, and you still don't believe in yourself?" Liu Yifeng said.
Xia Qianqian looked hesitant. "Then... then I'll try?"
"It's not a try, you're hired. I've already asked my friend to find an advertising company. Once we finish filming this program, we can start shooting."
Xu Mu Qing immediately chimed in, "Yifeng, if you trust me, I can introduce you to an advertising company. Although the company is not large and hasn't produced many major advertisements, its reputation is quite good. Most importantly, the owner of the advertising company is trustworthy."
Liu Yifeng's eyes lit up when he heard she knew people in the advertising industry. "Really? That's great. Honestly, we don't know much about this field. Finding one would be like a blind man feeling for a lamp, just searching randomly. When you get back, give me the contact information for the advertising company owner, and I'll have my friend discuss the cooperation with him."
Xu Mu Qing nodded. "No problem. The owner of the advertising company is my friend. I'll tell him about this when I get back today, and then I'll give you his contact information!"
"Alright, it's a deal. When it's done, I'll treat you to dinner!" Liu Yifeng said with a smile.
It's good to know people; everything is convenient. Just like the company's business license, it was processed so quickly thanks to Su Wanru's help. Now that Xu Mu Qing also knows an advertising company owner, Lu Fei doesn't have to waste his energy searching from place to place.
"These are small matters, just a gesture, no need for dinner!" Xu Mu Qing waved her hand dismissively.
Liu Yifeng then turned his attention back to Xia Qianqian. "Even close relatives keep accounts straight. You're shooting an advertisement for me, and I can't let you do it for free. We'll sign a three-year advertising contract. How about one million yuan for the advertising fee?"
One million yuan didn't sound like much, but for Xia Qianqian, who had never endorsed an advertisement before, it was an astronomical figure. She quickly said, "Are you giving me too much? A friend of mine, who is also a newcomer, took on a small advertisement and only got thirty thousand yuan for it. You're giving me a million, which is really too much."
"You said yourself that your friend took on a small advertisement. Mine is not a small advertisement. I'll be cooperating with the television station to air the advertisement. Three years from now, you'll likely be a big star, and even ten million yuan for an endorsement wouldn't be much. When you look at it that way, I'm actually making a profit." If she were truly a newcomer, Liu Yifeng would definitely not offer a million yuan. However, Xia Qianqian was a friend, and she had helped him look after Tong Tong. He felt that one million yuan was just right. Besides, if he were to hire a popular female star, it would cost no less than two million, possibly five or six million. So, one million yuan was really not much for him. The villagers' investment money, along with several million yuan, was still in the account. It wasn't difficult to take out a million yuan. He said this hoping that Xia Qianqian wouldn't feel any psychological pressure.
Xia Qianqian's eyes immediately welled up with emotion. "Yifeng, thank you. Thank you for trusting me so much and for giving me such a high endorsement fee. Don't laugh at me, but I've been in the entertainment industry for several years, and the money I've earned combined is less than one million yuan!"
"You silly girl, they don't approach you because they lack vision. Perhaps I'll be thanking you in the future!" Liu Yifeng said with a smile.
Xu Mu Qing found the way Liu Yifeng addressed Xia Qianqian a bit grating. She suddenly felt like going out for some fresh air, so she stood up. "You guys chat, I'm going out for some air!"
Seeing the person who suddenly seemed unhappy, Liu Yifeng asked with concern, "Mu Qing, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired from sitting," Xu Mu Qing said with a faint smile and then walked out.
"I feel like Sister Xu really is a bit unhappy. Did we neglect her?" Xia Qianqian asked doubtfully.
Liu Yifeng didn't think much of it. "It shouldn't be. We're discussing important matters. By the way, is your agent available? We should finalize the contract soon!"
"Tonight, I'll call her and ask her to make some time to come over. However, my agent manages many artists, and the artists are in different locations, so she might take a few days to get here."
After hearing Xia Qianqian's words, Liu Yifeng smiled slightly. "It's fine, there's no rush. We still have several days of filming to do!"
Xu Mu Qing walked out of the lounge and wandered around the television station. As she was walking, she encountered Yun Duo Er, who was on the phone, talking about something with an unhappy expression. It turned out that Yun Duo Er had been actively approaching Liu Yifeng and his son recently, and Jin Jie found out. Jin Jie immediately called her and scolded her overwhelmingly on the phone: "Are you out of your mind? Who allowed you to approach your child? Don't you know the consequences? I explicitly told you to stay away from them, but instead of staying away, you actively approached them. If you can't bear to part with your son, then perhaps you should quit this profession and go home to take care of your child!"
Yun Duo Er dared not retort, for if Jin Jie reported this to the company, she would be in serious trouble. She could only whisper an explanation, "Sister Jin, you've misunderstood. I approached them not because I can't bear to part with my child, but because I saw how outstanding the child is and felt he would threaten Song Yicheng, so I wanted them to withdraw from the competition."
However, Jin Jie didn't believe her excuse. "Don't tell me that. If you wanted them to withdraw from the competition, you could have called or texted, why meet them multiple times? I think you simply can't bear to part with your son. I haven't told the boss about this yet. If I do, you can expect to be shelved by the company! Also, didn't your sugar daddy say he doesn't allow you to approach your child? If you don't want to be blacklisted and have no roles to play, I'm warning you for the last time: don't go to them alone again, or I won't cover for you anymore. In our line of work, there are plenty of beautiful and promising girls; you're not indispensable. How old are you now? You're not young anymore. If you don't seize the opportunity, you'll truly be eliminated."
Yun Duo Er could only nod repeatedly. "Sister Jin, I understand. I promise I won't go to them alone again. Thank you for keeping this quiet for me! But can I ask you one thing? I deliberately disguised myself when I met them, or I met them when no one was watching. How did you find out?"
"That's not something you should be concerned about. In short, I hope you remember what you just said, or I won't be as lenient as I am today!" Jin Jie said coldly. Although she was only Yun Duo Er's agent, without her, Yun Duo Er wouldn't have achieved what she had today. If she were to play with fire and harm her own interests, she wouldn't show any leniency.
Yun Duo Er wanted to say more, but Jin Jie hung up the phone directly. Her expression immediately turned grim.
