Liang Shuang said, "I won't sell it. This ticket is quite rare, and I don't want to sell it so easily."
Hearing her tone, Duan Jiabao seemed to soften, and his eyes lit up. "Liang Shuang, just sell it to me! We're roommates, after all! Just tell me what you want!"
Liang Shuang pretended for a moment, then glanced at her and said, "You really can make requests!"
Duan Jiabao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes...yes!"
Liang Shuang glanced at her and said casually, "I've been a bit busy with work lately and I'd like to find someone to help me with some tasks. I heard you used to work at an entertainment company and have experience in that area, but now you're unemployed?"
Duan Jiabao looked a little confused, then realized what was going on.
"You...you want me to be your manager?"
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "But Xiaoguo and Shitou don't like you, I... I can't do that."
Liang Shuang glared at her unhappily: "What are you thinking! You, my manager? I've just been a bit busy lately, and you happen to be free, so I'm helping you with some things. When did I say I wanted you to be my manager?"
Liang Shuang was telling the truth. She was already starting to have doubts. Was Duan Jiabao really suitable to be her agent? She could only give it a try first, and if it didn't work out, she would find someone else.
Duan Jiabao was also stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "So that's what you meant."
"But I still can't help you, what about Xiaoguo and Shitou..."
Liang Shuang said, "You are you, and they are them. Why are you still listening to them?"
Duan Jiabao said, "We have a very good relationship, and I can't let them down."
Liang Shuang glanced at her, then shook the ticket in her hand and said, "Never mind then. It's a pity that I can't give away this ticket to Lili's concert even if I wanted to."
Duan Jiabao stared longingly at the ticket and asked in surprise, "You want to give this ticket away? Who would you like to give it to?"
Liang Shuang glanced at her: "Who else could I give it to! I was going to give it to you as payment for helping me out, but you didn't want it."
Duan Jiabao was immediately conflicted, looking at Liang Shuang expectantly and saying, "I want it!"
Liang Shuang said, "If you want it, just say yes?"
Duan Jiabao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Luo Yan's voice came from the corridor outside the door.
"Da Bao, your feast is here!"
Upon hearing Luo Yan's voice, Liang Shuang, under Duan Jiabao's reluctant gaze, took the ticket, turned around, and returned to her desk to sit down.
Finally, he turned back and said, "I'll give you a little more time to think it over. Today is the only day; this offer won't last."
Duan Jiabao's expression became even more conflicted.
……
That evening, Duan Jiabao hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of Lili's concert tickets and agreed to help Liang Shuang for a while.
To be fair, although Duan Jiabao has a gentle personality, he is quite capable. In just one or two days, he managed to contact a business for Liang Shuang.
Liang Shuang exclaimed with delight, "Da Bao, that's amazing! How did you do that?"
Duan Jiabao said modestly, "It's nothing! I just looked at your Weibo followers, especially those with verified names, and happened to find out that they are the brand director of this company. I think that if they follow you, they must be quite interested in you."
"As it turned out, the conversation went very quickly."
Liang Shuang exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're amazing, Da Bao!" She was genuinely a little surprised; she hadn't expected Duan Jiabao to do better than she had imagined. Appearances can be deceiving.
After chatting for a few minutes, Duan Jiabao began introducing the product to her: "This is it, the pear face cream, it's quite popular lately."
It's a star product, everyone wants to promote it, but there's a bit of a rush.
"We'll have to buy the product ourselves first, but we can get reimbursed. The advertising is pretty simple, just one Weibo post and three photos. Take a look at the contract first, sign it quickly, and I'll deliver it to them!"
Liang Shuang didn't move, but instead asked, "If you're in such a hurry, is there something wrong with the brand?"
"Oh, what could be wrong with it? Yang Bingbing and Zhang Yuanyuan are both promoting it, what are you worried about?"
Liang Shuang said, "If they push me, I'll push them back!"
Duan Jiabao said with distress, "Why are you still being stubborn?"
Liang Shuang rolled her eyes at Duan Jiabao and handed the contract and documents back to him: "What am I fussing about?"
"Anyone who really understands skincare knows that products that show results immediately after application are likely to contain heavy metals, fluorescent agents, and hormones. You've already checked all of that."
Duan Jiabao was stumped by the question and stammered, "I..."
Liang Shuang retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'If I push it out, and a consumer actually breaks it, not only will I not make any money, I'll have to lose money too!' Let me sign the contract after you've investigated it thoroughly!"
Duan Jiabao stood there dejectedly. The artist she used to manage, Situ Yushuang, was difficult to please, and Liang Shuang was no worse than her; both of them had bad tempers and were difficult to please.
Why did she agree to take on this job? Thinking about the concert tickets, she ultimately decided to put up with it.
Helpless, Duan Jiabao started searching online for relevant information and user reviews of the pear face cream. After searching for more than an hour, the feedback was generally positive.
He then cautiously approached Liang Shuang, who was applying lipstick in front of the mirror, and reported, "I've checked it out. Her performance in all aspects is good, and the online reviews are also very positive. I think we can take this advertisement!"
Liang Shuang nodded: "Since it's a good idea, let's accept it!"
Duan Jiabao quickly handed the previously printed contract to Liang Shuang and said, "Then you should sign the contract first, and I'll send it to them later!"
Liang Shuang glanced at it, signed it, and returned the contract to Duan Jiabao.
"Thanks a lot."
Duan Jiabao was a little flattered: "It's no trouble at all, it's no trouble at all. It's because I accepted your ticket."
Chapter 336 A false alarm
After signing the contract, Liang Shuang stood up, glanced at Duan Jiabao, and said, "Hurry up and finish the contract. I'm going to buy pear face cream and things for the filming!"
Duan Jiabao nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"
After leaving the school, Liang Shuang went to a nearby digital mall, gritted her teeth, and spent nearly three thousand yuan to buy a decent camera.
Despite her act of being well-off in front of Duan Jiabao, she was actually quite strapped for cash. She had been unemployed for a long time with no income and was unwilling to ask Li Mu for help.
Since they weren't a couple, Liang Shuang felt that taking Li Mu's money would completely change the nature of their relationship. For someone as proud as her, this was unacceptable; she'd rather be poor.
Fortunately, she had the 6,000 yuan compensation from Lilya a few days ago to support her finances; otherwise, she would have been completely bankrupt and wouldn't have had enough money to buy filming equipment or even face cream.
After leaving the electronics mall, Liang Shuang went to a high-end cosmetics store and spent several hundred more to buy a pear face cream. Looking at her balance, she only had a little over two thousand left and sighed silently.
Since I'm here at the cosmetics store, as a professional beauty blogger, I can't leave empty-handed. Whether I buy anything or not doesn't matter, but I must understand the current trends and the latest products.
After browsing around the store, a salesperson approached her with a smile and asked, "Ms. Liang, is there anything else you need?"
Liang Shuang originally intended to look around on her own, understand the situation, and then leave, but unexpectedly, the shop assistant approached her.
Her wallet was already tight, so naturally she wouldn't buy anything. However, she was experienced in handling such situations and immediately struck a pose.
"Nothing much? Do you have the newest mascara or the latest limited edition perfume?"
The sales clerk was slightly taken aback: "I'm sorry, both of the products you requested are out of stock!"
Liang Shuang was slightly taken aback; the item was out of stock. She had originally planned to wait for the other party to take it out, give her opinion on it, point out its flaws, say she didn't like it, and then leave.
Since it's out of stock, that saves us some trouble.
"Out of stock?" Liang Shuang feigned slight displeasure.
The shop assistant said, "Yes, I'm so sorry!"
Since there's no stock, what's there to be afraid of? Liang Shuang shook her head and said, "You're such a big brand store, how come you're out of stock?"
The shop assistant said politely, "I'm sorry, Ms. Liang, if you need it, you can pay first and leave your contact information and address. As soon as we have the goods, we will send them to you as soon as possible!"
"How much?" Liang Shuang asked tentatively.
The shop assistant calculated: "The two items together cost 1,750 yuan. You can pay by mobile phone or card!"
Upon hearing the price quoted by the salesperson, Liang Shuang abandoned the idea of continuing to pretend. If she really bought it, she would go bankrupt.
He nodded and asked, "How long will it take for the goods to arrive?"
Shop assistant: "About three days to a week!"
Liang Shuang feigned regret: "Never mind then, it takes too long! I'll just go to Hong Kong to buy it tomorrow!"
Having said that, Liang Shuang turned and walked towards the store entrance, only to be met by two familiar figures.
One was that old woman who used to be the project team leader, and the other was a female colleague from Youjia Wealth Management.
Seeing Liang Shuang dressed so stylishly and beautifully, the two were somewhat surprised. The young female colleague looked surprised and delighted: "Liang Shuang, it's been a long time! You've become more and more fashionable!"
The project leader gave Liang Shuang a displeased look and said sarcastically, "Oh, she's a fashion blogger now, so she has to dress up a bit, right?"
My female colleague's eyes lit up: "I'm so envious! Liang Shuang, do you have any good recommendations?"
Although she didn't get along with her former team leader, Liang Shuang was still very polite to her former colleagues. Smiling, she introduced, "Oh, this place is pretty good, but a bit expensive. If you're thinking of buying something, I suggest you check out those Korean brands over there; theirs are cheaper!"
Hearing Liang Shuang's words, the team leader, an old woman, was in a bad mood and said sarcastically, "Really? I haven't seen you buy any!"
Liang Shuang also disliked her, raised her chin high, and said arrogantly, "Who said I wouldn't buy it? We're out of stock!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the shop assistant, who had been there earlier, came over with a smile and said, "Ms. Liang, I have good news for you. The items you requested are all in stock now. Would you like them?"
Liang Shuang's face froze. She only had a few hundred yuan left after buying it; how would she survive? But in this situation, in front of the old woman, the team leader, how could she refuse? Wouldn't that be humiliating?
For Liang Shuang, who is very concerned about her image, how could she possibly do this?
He could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, I want it! I'll take it if it's in stock. How much did you say earlier?"
