Free Web NovelChapter 816: Chapter 816: Amin Accepts Endorsement Audition
An Ming had little interest in Lu Qing’s good news.
She had food, drinks, and a place to stay, and was quite content with her current situation.
An Ming, holding a paper bag filled with buns, flopped down onto the sofa without any grace.
She glanced at Lu Qing, signaling him to continue with a look.
Though uninterested, Lu Qing was the one providing for her needs, so she had to show him some respect.
Lu Qing beamed with excitement, "An Ming, you’re in luck! National Beauty wants to find a female artist from our company who has a decent image to be their cheongsam brand ambassador. I’ve already submitted your profile, and in a few days, you can go for an audition."
Suspicion flashed in An Ming’s eyes, "Brand ambassador?"
Although she had been involved in showbiz for a while and even participated in the filming of ’Women are Strong’, she didn’t understand many things.
Lu Qing explained the strength of National Beauty in Beijing, and the benefits of taking this brand endorsement.
"...Although National Beauty has only recently made a name in Beijing, the force behind it is formidable. Most importantly, they’re very generous. If you’re chosen by them and become their brand ambassador, you’ll receive an endorsement fee of half a million, which is enough for you to eat meat buns for a lifetime!"
Undeniably, upon hearing about lifetime meat buns, An Ming’s eyes sparkled with an astonishing brightness.
Lu Qing had said a lot before, but she wasn’t interested.
Only the meat bun was dear to her heart.
Noticing the glow in her eyes, Lu Qing continued his persuasion, "An Ming, you must realize that you won’t earn this much from ’Women are Strong’, and you can’t stay in the dorm forever. You need to buy your own house."
"I can’t stay here forever?" An Ming’s eyes widened.
She found it hard to accept this news.
If she can’t stay here, where will she live?
In this vast Beijing, she was unfamiliar, and without her current residence, she really didn’t know what her backup plan would be.
She had participated in ’Women are Strong’, but hadn’t received her pay yet.
Lu Qing looked at the worry glowing both on her face and in her eyes, knowing what she cared about.
Changing his words, "Of course, this is the company’s dorm for artists, you can’t stay here forever. You need to earn money and buy your own house, so you can feel at ease."
In reality, as long as artists are contracted with the company, they can stay in the dorm as long as they want.
Lu Qing understood An Ming’s personality too well; she was laid-back and indifferent, satisfied as long as she had food and a roof.
He wanted to motivate her; an artist who doesn’t want to earn money isn’t a good one.
For this lazybones, he put in a lot of effort.
An Ming furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and nodded to Lu Qing, "Okay, I’ll give it a try."
Since she couldn’t stay in the dorm forever, she really needed to plan ahead.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing grinned widely, "That’s right, seize every opportunity to earn money!"
...
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Old Zhen’s seventieth birthday celebration.
Gu Jin had almost forgotten about this until she received another call from the Zhen family while having a meal with An Mingji.
This time, the call was from her biological father, Zhen Youzhi, not He Yuchun.
Seeing the name on the screen of her phone lying on the table, Gu Jin didn’t even put down her chopsticks, just lifted her hand and hung up.
