You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Hearing the other party's voice urging him to stay, Fat Orange glanced at Xu Yi.

Sure enough, the boss is still courageous!

At this price, after just saying this, Fat Orange was worried that the other party would follow the network cable and beat him up. It's too high, too outrageous. How can anyone negotiate the price like this? My little heart can hardly bear it.
-

"Mr. He, do you have anything else to say?"

"Sister Ju, don't be impulsive! Business cooperation is all negotiated. Although the price you offered is too outrageous, since you dare to accept this condition, I think I can apply with the company. In the eight thousand On the basis of RMB 10,000, some additional remuneration will be added appropriately. However, it will definitely not exceed RMB 120 million..."

Fat Orange looked at Xu Yi.

Boss, one hundred and twenty million!

Should we agree to each other before we talk?

If the negotiation breaks down later, the salted duck will fly away!

Xu Yi thought for a while, stretched out a finger with his left hand, and made an 'eight' gesture with his right hand. Seeing this, Fat Orange had no choice but to reply to Xu Yi's words: -

"Mr. He, you don't have any sincerity!"
-

"How about we each give in and the price is 180 million!"
-

"If we can, let's talk about the details. If we can't, I won't waste Mr. He's time."

Although Fat Orange felt very unreasonable in his heart, he refused to give in at all and forced the other party into a corner with his words. The other party was obviously confused by Fat Orange and didn't know how to answer the call. There was no doubt about Xu Yi's commercial value. If he can really win the Olympics in the French capital, his commercial value will reach its peak by then!

And Adidas is definitely making a profit by signing Xu Yi.

However, even for Adidas, 180 million is still a huge expense. No one can say for sure. This matter must be discussed by the board of directors, and only after careful argumentation can a final decision be made on whether it can be done.

"Sister Ju, your price... is still too expensive."

"How about this? I'll report it to the company's board of directors first, and then I'll reply to you after discussion. How about that?"

Fat Orange said with some regret: "Then I'm waiting for some good news."

After hanging up the phone, Fat Orange sighed with heartache:

"Boss, it's over now, it's over."

"If you ask me, 120 million is already a sky-high price. If we win this endorsement, it is worthy of the other seven or eight endorsements. Why not just accept it in one go?"

"This is not 1.2 million, nor is it 12 million!"

Xu Yi smiled and said calmly: "Sister Ju, you don't have to worry. You should be more familiar with business negotiations than me. We make an offer and the other party counter-offers. This is a normal game."

"And this price will certainly not be the final price."

"I estimate that Mr. He will come to the capital in person to discuss the price with you. And the final endorsement remuneration will most likely be 150 million!"

Xu Yi's words were astonishing.

Based on the tug-of-war between Fat Orange and the other party just now, Xu Yi initially judged that the price Adidas could offer would not exceed 150 million. Xu Yi is naturally satisfied with being able to get this level of endorsement.

"Boss, you...why are you so calm?"

Xu Yi sighed and said, "I'm just pretending, but actually I'm also very excited..."

After finalizing the details of the next negotiation, Xu Yi directly rejected all other commercial endorsements. For now, he doesn't want to expose himself too much. After all, he is about to join the cast. As a new actor, it is still necessary to maintain a sense of mystery on the screen. If you really want to make money, you can wait until you finish running 100 meters.

the next day.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Xu Yi called a car according to the address given by Chu Ningning and went straight to his lunch destination. He was still very surprised at first, what kind of restaurant would put its business place in a community called Xishan Villa?

Later, when I thought about it, the private dishes that Zhong Guoliang treated him to before seemed to be closed to the public.

From this point of view, Chu Ningning's invitation to dinner this time is still very sincere!

After getting in the car, Xu Yi reported his destination.

The taxi driver was obviously stunned, and after a long while he said: "Sir, our car can't get inside. When you get outside the Xishan Villa, you have to go in by yourself."

"no problem."

Xu Yi didn't take it to heart at all.

In the villa area, it is reasonable to not allow outside operating vehicles to enter.

Half an hour later, Xu Yi washed the car.

He looked left and right, and then asked the driver:

"Master, are you sure this is Xishan Villa?"

Driver: "I've been driving a taxi in Beijing for more than ten years. Which corner did I miss? This is the Xishan Villa, that's right. Boy, look over there, did you see that big stone? Didn't it say Xishan Villa? How many words?"

Following the direction of the driver's finger, Xu Yi took a closer look: It's true.

This is amazing!

This villa area looks like it has a lot of history, and there are actually guards with guns on both sides of the door. Xu Yi was just a 996 worker in his previous life, and his impression of the capital was limited to Chang'an Street, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City. He really didn't know much about this kind of guarded place.

He walked to the door and was about to ask where there was a place to eat here. But the guard on the opposite side took the lead and asked: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Ah, I just came here to eat."

Xu Yi told the truth.

The guard heard this and gave some good advice: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid you are in the wrong place. Please leave quickly, otherwise, I will think that you are testing a special area of ​​the country and I have the right to take you away for interrogation."

I'm crazy...

trial?

Xu Yi subconsciously took a step back, and then muttered:

"What kind of place is Chu Ningning looking for? Is it possible to have a good meal in a place like this?"

As he spoke, Xu Yi took out his phone and called Chu Ningning directly. After confirming that the place was correct, Chu Ningning asked Xu Yi to stop where he was, and she immediately came out to pick him up.

About five minutes later, Chu Ningning, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in front of Xu Yi.

"Sorry, I forgot to wait for you at the door."

Xu Yi looked at Chu Ningning.

It's such a pity for this girl. If she goes to the entertainment industry, she will be a new-generation little flower who can compete with Meng Xiling! This face and figure instantly kill 90% of the so-called female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

After just taking a look, Xu Yi immediately retracted his wanton look and asked, "Director Chu, what restaurant did you book here? The level of confidentiality is too high, right?"

Chu Ningning led Xu Yi into the gate of the villa complex easily.

She confessed rather embarrassedly:

"Xu Yi, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you the truth."

"Actually, today, I'm going to my house for dinner."

"My mother likes the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" that you sang very much. She knows that I know you, so she begged me to invite you to my house for a meal no matter what."

"You won't... refuse, right?"

Xu Yi was stunned.

Okay, okay, you want to play like this, right?

I treat you like a fat sheep ready to be slaughtered, but you treat me like...wait a minute, auntie wants to treat me to dinner? So, is this a family dinner? Some thoughts quickly flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and then he said:

"Director Chu, do you think it's still too late for me to refuse now?"

"Excuse me...my mother's cooking is delicious." Chu Ningning begged sadly.

Xu Yi let out a long sigh, so he did the difficult thing:

"Ok."

"But for this matter, Director Chu, you owe me a favor. You know, I rarely meet my fans in private, even my mother-level fans. Today is an exception." Seeing Xu Yi After agreeing, Chu Ningning was extremely happy: "No problem, no problem!"

After a pause, she seemed to remember something again and told Xu Yi:

"By the way, please don't call me Director Chu for a while, it will sound awkward."

"I told my mother that we are friends. How can we call directors among friends? Well...otherwise you can just call me by my name!"

Xu Yi followed Shan Ruliu: "Okay, Ning Ning."

He didn't mind calling such a trivial thing at all.

But when Chu Ningning heard the word "Ning Ning", her face turned red, and a different emotion flashed through her heart. She turned her face away so that Xu Yi wouldn't see it, and then led Xu Yi through two streets before arriving at a single-family villa.

This is an old villa with only three floors.

There are two parking spaces on the left side of the door. The front yard doesn't look big, but there are many hydrangeas planted there. There are also some vines crawling out along the wall, with one or two small flowers blooming on the tips, which looks very interesting.

Chu Ningning pushed open the courtyard door and shouted inside:

"Mom, we are back!"

After the voice fell, Liu Xiumei, who was wearing an apron, poked her head out. When she saw Xu Yi, she immediately greeted him cheerfully and said, "Oh, Xiao Xu, right? Hello, hello, come in quickly. come on in."

"Ning Ning, get Xiao Xu a pair of slippers."

"Come in and sit down."

Xu Yi's inner OS: Is this really his fan?

Shouldn't she call me Brother Xu, or Teacher Xu?

After entering the house, Liu Xiumei turned around and went to the kitchen to work again. A voice came from a distance: "Your dad is working overtime at work today and may not come back so early. The three of us will eat first without waiting for him."

"Ning Ning, please talk to Xiao Xu first, I'll be ready soon."

Xu Yi and Chu Ningning, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. This scene doesn't look like a celebrity going to a fan's house for a meal, but like two young people on a blind date during the New Year who just met and can't let go.

Chu Ningning poured a glass of water for Xu Yi, and then said playfully:

"Fortunately, Lao Chu is not at home..."

Xu Yi: "Who is Lao Chu? Oh, your dad."

After a pause, he seemed to understand the meaning of what Chu Ningning just said, so he asked again: "Is it difficult for your dad to speak?"

"Not at all."

Chu Ningning shook her head, "But he seems to have some prejudice against people in the entertainment industry."

Xu Yi understood and said with an ooh:

"That's up to you."

Chu Ningning:......

It’s up to me to say that, it’s not because I was influenced by my father that I have some stereotypes about celebrities in the entertainment industry. However, I am also slowly changing!

Xu Yi didn't ask what kind of job Chu Ningning's father did. People who could live in this kind of villa community must not be in business. Therefore, since we are members of the organization and can not ask, of course it is better not to ask.

"You can eat fruit~"

"No, I'll save my stomach for a big meal cooked by auntie later!"

"Then take a drink of water~"

"I just drank it. If I drink it again, I have to go to the toilet to put it away."

Chu Ningning:......

Why is this person so difficult to chat with? It wasn’t like this on Mamoun Island before! The two of them just sat quietly, sometimes you looked at me, and sometimes I looked at you. In the end, Xu Yi had to stand up and said proactively:

"How about I go check on Auntie and see if the food is ready?"

"Okay, okay, come here and wash your hands and get ready to eat!" Liu Xiumei seemed to have been spying on Xu Yi. As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, she immediately brought out a plate of food and looked towards Xu Yi and Chu Ningning. shouted.

For three people, Liu Xiumei prepared six dishes and one soup.

There are shrimps, fish, chickens, and sheep, which is quite rich.

She greeted Xu Yi warmly:

"Xiao Xu, come."

"Eat with vegetables, eat with vegetables."

"How long have you and Ning Ning known each other?"

Xu Yi answered with a smile: "We only met last year. Because of work, we collaborated on several projects."

Hearing this, Liu Xiumei said doubtfully:

"Oh? Ning Ning works at the police station. Can you still have projects with them?"

"Mom, didn't I tell you before?" Chu Ningning pouted and said, "The Fraud Prevention Center asked Xu Yi to shoot some public service announcements."

Liu Xiumei: "Oh oh oh~"

She looked at Xu Yi carefully and asked:

"Xiao Xu, are you still writing and singing songs?"

"I really like the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" you sang, it's so good!"

Liu Xiumei is a person who doesn't care about the entertainment industry, so she has never heard of the hot topic of rookie ranking season, which is well-known on the Internet. In this regard, he is very similar to Chu Ningning's old father.

Chu Zhengchen almost never paid attention to news about entertainment.

Xu Yi nodded and said:

"Write."

"But I don't write much. I'm very busy with other work recently. When I have time in the future, I will try to write more."

For some reason, at this moment, Xu Yi actually felt that he should not only write more pop songs, but also write more songs that Sunset Reds would like to listen to. This seemed to be a way to benefit society.

For example, the square dance duo in the previous life had many divine songs, which were the favorites of aunts of this age group.

He put a piece of fish into the bowl and was about to feast when he heard Liu Xiumei ask again:

"Good songwriting, good songwriting."

"By the way, Xiao Xu, who else is there in your family? What do your parents do?"

There is a bit of a problem with this issue.

Am I coming to your house as a celebrity singer to have a meal, or am I coming to your house to be questioned as a subject of your daughter's investigation? Your aunt... you're such a nice person. When you come up, you'll ask questions like a prospective son-in-law!

Xu Yi immediately replied:

"Auntie, I grew up in an orphanage."

"Now I am alone. I have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry."

"Ah!" Liu Xiumei's eyes were full of heartache when she heard this, "This child... it's really not easy, not easy! I don't know how much hardship you suffered behind the scenes to achieve what you have today."

"Here, eat a big chicken drumstick~" (End of this chapter)
