Extra Chapter 7: Brother’s Story
Going on the show was a big deal. Qi Yan called her parents immediately. After hanging up, she looked at the time and did not dare to call Nan Zhe directly.
She opened WeChat and sent an emoji to test the waters. She did not expect Nan Zhe to reply instantly.
She sat up straight and started typing. Halfway through, a call popped up on the interface. Nan Zhe had called.
“Are you off work?”
“Not yet.” She still had to work overtime at night, and it was just beginning.
“What about you? Are you still at the office?”
“I just came out of the office to eat.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Qi Yan mentioned the show. After saying that, she was a little nervous. “That’s about it. What do you think?”
“Of course, it’s a good thing.” Nan Zhe’s tone was still light, but he had also helped her analyze the pros and cons.
“Overall, I agree with you giving it a try. Although I don’t know much about the situation in your industry, since you said that the opportunity is rare, you have to participate.”
“Do whatever you want. Don’t make yourself regret it.”
Nan Zhe knew Qi Yan quite well. She did not call to ask for his opinion. She looked hesitant, but she already had an answer in her heart. “By the way, when is this show set? What about the production team?”
“We haven’t talked about that yet.”
After a moment of silence, Nan Zhe said, “Then wait a moment. I’ll get someone to help you ask around first.”
“No need. I’ll ask when I call the other party back later.”
He did not listen to her. “At least I was half a step into the entertainment industry before. Wait for my news first.”
On the other side, at the canteen entrance.
Nan Zhe leaned against the door frame and looked down at his contacts. The secretary waited silently at the side. The two of them stood at the door like guards. Many employees were stunned when they came down and saw this scene.
It had to be known that most employees had never seen Nan Zhe in person since they started working.
In their memory, Nan Zhe had never come to the canteen to eat.
Not to mention Nan Zhe, even his male secretary, who could be said to be the “Chief of the Imperial Household”, was elusive.
The employees who had been chatting and laughing along the way did not dare to breathe loudly at this moment. They silently lowered their presence and walked past the two of them. Those who liked to gossip did not forget to throw the photos of Nan Zhe into the company group chat.
Seeing more and more employees pretending to pass by in front of them, the secretary adjusted his glasses and sighed silently.
Nan Zhe was a picky person and never ate in the canteen.
He didn’t know what went wrong today, but he said he wanted to try the food in the canteen. The head chef was so frightened that he almost used an electronic scale to accurately add salt.
Nan Zhe asked the person in charge of his management company to help find out.
The other party replied very quickly. They said that the show was temporarily scheduled and might not be able to start.
To put it bluntly, it was a little difficult to get sponsorships. He heard that they were already in discussions, but based on the latest news, the situation wasn’t looking good.
“Brother Nan, this is the situation. These days, there are too many workplace variety shows in the market. Moreover, this profession might not garner much attention.”
Nan Zhe frowned. “Why did I hear that the program has already started preparations?”
“Yes, there was a sponsor at first, but he changed his mind at the last minute and ran away. However, I don’t know much now. I only got the news after asking around. Whether there’s a chance later depends on whether there are people blind enough to sponsor.”
“Send me the contact information of the person in charge over there.”
‘…Brother Nan, are you interested in this show?”
“Cut the crap. Hurry up.” With that, Nan Zhe hung up.
In less than a minute, the other party sent him the contact information.
He stared at the screen for a long time, calculating carefully.
After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only look for the sucker, Shen Yanqing.
The Nan family’s business mainly consisted of high-end shopping malls. At the moment, it was most suitable to look for Huasheng. Shen Yanqing was a little surprised to receive his call.
“Sponsor a program?”
“Yes. Didn’t your subsidiary company have a new phone going public recently?
It’s a rare opportunity. I thought of you immediately for such a good thing.”
‘ Shen Yanqing did not think that he would be so kind. However, Nan Zhe had specially called to talk about this matter, so he had to give him face. “What type of program exactly?”
Huasheng had never sponsored any variety shows before. At most, they had worked with some popular novel adaptations previously.
“It’s a workplace online variety show. It’s about photographers.”
Shen Yanqing quickly caught this keyword and understood. ‘Miss Qi is participating?”
Nan Zhe laughed. “Originally, I could have called the others, but after thinking about it, your new product mainly focuses on filming. In fact, it can be considered a win-win.”
According to his connections, he did not have to look for Shen Yanqing. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Huasheng was the most suitable.
“Your endorsement hasn’t been decided yet, right? Sponsor it. When the time comes, I’ll find someone to negotiate the deal. The endorsement fees will come from me.”
“That’s a small matter.” Since he had already said so much, Shen Yanqing agreed. “I’ll implement it as soon as possible. I’ll contact you if I have any news.”
“Give me a timeline.”
“In two weeks.”
“You call this as soon as possible? You’d better give me an answer in two days.”
Shen Yanqing,
Qi Yan did not expect the show to start so quickly. Fortunately, Nan Zhe had revealed the approximate time to her a long time ago.
After she was done with the work at hand, she was pulled by Sister Huan to buy a few sets of new clothes. The show would start filming two days later, and she woke up early to go to the company.
Originally, Nan Zhe wanted to send her off, but they would start filming once they left the house. It was really not good for Nan Zhe to appear.
In the taxi, Qi Yan glanced at the camera in front of her. She was still not used to it.
Usually, she was the one taking photos of others. Now, she had become the protagonist in the camera.
Qi Yan could not get used to it along the way. When she arrived at the place to wait, she took the time to reply to Nan Zhe’s message.
Nan Zhe: [Don’t be afraid. Just pretend that it doesn’t exist. You’re not going to debut. You don’t have to pay attention to the camera and should just ignore it.
You should know better than me in this aspect.]
[There’s still a difference. I won’t talk to you for now. I’m afraid I’ll be filmed. Let’s talk after work!] After a while, when she saw the leader enter, Qi Yan quickly put away her phone and stood up with the other interns.
After the leader left, Qi Yan returned to her desk with the others and everyone got to know each other.
Qi Yan was shocked again.
Although she had work experience and could barely make a living in the industry now, under the impact of these few highly educated people in front of her, she suddenly started to doubt her life.
Everyone here had graduated from famous schools and almost all of them had studied overseas. She was the only exception. In terms of age, she was also the oldest.
She lamented that they had graduated from high school at a young age. Others envied her for having her own studio and a stable career..
