Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qianxun told him what happened today. Even though she was upset, she still said, “Let it go. It’s just an advertisement. Perhaps I’ll run into better opportunities in the future.”
Long Sijue saw that the young woman was hiding her sorrow, and his expression became very grim. Up until now, he hardly took this project seriously. He saw it as a mere advertisement, and did not matter to him whether she got the role or not.
However…
“You scored this project with your own abilities, so why should you let it go? You can decide not to partake in it, but now, someone’s snatching away what you have earned with your hard work! Do they take me for a fool?” Long Sijue said and picked up the phone on his desk. He summoned Tang Zui and Si Mancheng, who had just left a while ago, back into the office.
Hearing that, Su Qianxun inhaled sharply and held her breath. She gazed at the man before her. Her eyes became slightly teary. Ever since her family fell apart, she had gotten used to dealing with everything on her own. Whenever she was treated unfairly, all she could do was to endure the pain and humiliation alone.
At that very moment, she felt that she was protected and adored. She had not felt that way for a long time.
Once Tang Zui and Si Mancheng were back, Long Sijue gave an order right away, “Find out which company is paying for this advertisement and acquire them immediately!”
Tang Zui and Si Mancheng exchanged glances. Si Mancheng immediately got to work. The result of the investigation arrived soon enough. It was a top-tier fashion brand.
“Jue, what on earth is going on? Why do you want to acquire a fashion company?” Tang Zui asked cautiously.
“Young master, there’s no need to trouble yourself. It’s just an advertisement. I don’t mind letting go of the opportunity.”
Su Qianxun quickly tried to talk him out of this. The Su family used to run a business, and she knew very well that an acquisition was no small matter.
When Su Qianxun saw how furious Tang Zui was, she could only explain to Tang Zui what had happened. “It’s just an advertisement. It’s okay. I don’t want to do it anymore.”
Long Sijue gazed at her. The young woman said so in a nonchalant manner, but he knew very well that she had put in a lot of effort for this advertisement!
“So, that’s what this is about. Leave it to me. There’s no need for an acquisition as the process would take a lot of time and energy. Give me half an hour. I promise you a satisfying outcome!” Tang Zui immediately whipped out his cell phone and went out to make a call.
Su Qianxun was still in Long Sijue’s arms. Now that there was a third person in the room, she wanted to get off his lap. But the second she moved, Long Sijue tightened his arms around her.
Within half an hour, Tang Zui came back and winked at Su Qianxun. “It’s done, chick. Wait for the phone call. I guarantee you that they’ll beg for your return!”
The moment Tang Zui finished saying that, Su Qianxun’s cell phone started ringing. She glanced at Long Sijue and answered the phone under his watchful eyes.
This time, the person who reached out to her was a representative of the advertiser. He wanted to sign an contract with her immediately. He even offered to increase the initial a hundred thousand RMB pay to two hundred thousand RMB.
Su Qianxun did not expect the tables to turn so easily with an unexpected reward.
The young woman was about to say yes, but Long Sijue immediately raised three fingers before her.
“I want three hundred thousand RMB for this project, or else I’ll have to turn you down.”
Su Qianxun actually felt a little sheepish. Three hundred thousand RMB for an advertisement was way too much. But when she looked at the man, who had her back, she became slightly more confident.
The representative agreed without hesitation. He even said that he would send her the contract in half an hour. This time, they would definitely not change any clause in the document again.
After Su Qianxun put down the phone, she threw her arms around Long Sijue’s neck happily. “Young master, they agreed. I can go to the studio again!”
In the next moment, the young woman realized that she had lost her composure. She instantly tried to withdraw her arms…
Long Sijue immediately put his arms around her and stopped her from drawing away. He lowered his head and kissed her on her small, slightly parted lips…
