Jiang Xu was vexed by what he heard.
This woman was seriously exasperating.
“This isn’t freeloading, it’s casting a long line to catch a big fish…”
Jiang Xu went on a long spiel.
His main point was that he didn’t want to pay; he wanted Zhou Qingyue to help with some promotional photos for free.
And he painted her a dreamy, big picture.
After all, An Nuonuo didn’t have much cash on hand at this time; she had to save wherever possible.
Even a fourth-tier celebrity like Zhou Qingyue would command no less than half a million for shooting an ad.
However, quite clearly, Zhou Qingyue wasn’t easily fooled.
She nonchalantly said, “I can do it for free, but Hl take a cut.
I’ll take five percent of the net profit from each item sold.
And I can also help with promotion in the future.”
Jiang Xu frowned, “Your understanding is still not high enough.”
Zhou Qingyue replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I’m busy.”
Jiang Xu took a deep breath, “Three percent.”
“Fine, I’ll talk to my aunt right away,” Jiang Xu listened to the busy tone on the phone, curled his lip, and put away his phone.
To An Nuonuo he said, “Three percent commission, that should do.” “Mmm.” An Nuonuo nodded, “Then how should we price these three products?”
Jiang Xu, “Do you know how much the cost is?”
An Nuonuo, “A single lipstick costs five yuan to make, a skin cream fifteen yuan, and a nail polish nine cents.”
Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Sell a lipstick for 299 yuan, a jar
of skin cream for 399, and a bottle of nail polish for 69 ”
■■What?” An Nuonuo opened her mouth in shock, “That… that’s too expensive, isn’t it? No one would buy it!”
Jiang Xu waved his hand, “How is it expensive? That’s always been the selling price.
If you think it’s too expensive, you should reflect on whether you’ve been working hard enough to afford even a single lipstick.”
An Nuonuo,”???”
“Hehe, just kidding.” Jiang Xu explained, “We’re not producing low-end goods.
We should set the tone right from the beginning and only produce high-end
brands.”
An Nuonuo, “But, my father already signed long-term orders with many merchants at a not-so-high selling price.”
“Silly girl.” Jiang Xu sat her down, “We can rebrand with a more upscale brand
name.
Then slightly increase the cost of the raw materials and differentiate our
product.”
As a naive girl, An Nuonuo was skeptical.
It just seemed too ruthless.
A lipstick that costs only five yuan to produce, selling for three hundred! She felt that her conscience was severely violated.
Jiang Xu patiently explained, “Actually, everyone does this. Some even sell at higher prices using inferior materials.
As long as you insist on not using inferior materials, you’re already benefiting
the masses.”
“Really?”
“Really, if I’m lying, I’ll have to sleep with you tonight as punishment.”
“You’re awful.”
Zhou Qingyue was here.
Carrying a DSLR and contract.
Jiang Xu checked the contract, found no problems, and had An Nuonuo sign it and stamp it with the company seal.
Then the photoshoot began.
Jiang Xu was shooting.
Starting with the lipstick.
There were different shades.
But in Jiang Xu’s eyes, they were all the same.
He marveled at how girls could tell them apart.
Zhou Qingyue had very good-looking lips. After applying the lipstick, it gave a feeling of tender charm.
Her lips kept making fine adjustments to accommodate Jiang Xu’s shooting.
The next were the skin cream and nail polish.
Especially when shooting the nail polish, this woman’s intentions were crystal clear.
All kinds of seductive moves.
However, not a ripple was stirred in Jiang Xu’s ice-cold heart.
Not because he was pretending, but Zhou Qingyue’s foot wasn’t as beautiful as
An Nuonuo’s.
An Nuonuo’s, those were truly enough to comfort one’s life…
After the shoot, Jiang Xu selected a few photos and uploaded them to the computer.
It needed some processing before it could be used.
Zhou Qingyue’s gaze was full of resentment.
How could this man be so calm?
Were her legs not long enough, not straight enough, or…
After more than half an hour, Jiang Xu edited the photo and uploaded it to the online store.
Zhou Qingyue and An Nuonuo were standing behind him all the time.
Zhou Qingyue curiously asked, “You know how to edit photos?”
Jiang Xu: “No.”
Zhou Qingyue: “But you edited this photo so well.”
Jiang Xu: “You saw it all. Why are you still asking?”
Zhou Qingyue almost died of anger.
How could this man turn so awful?
Once the store was set up, Jiang Xu opened Weibo.
He logged out of his own account and told Zhou Qingyue, “Log in to your
Weibo, and advertise.”
Zhou Qingyue gave Jiang Xu a cold look, sat down, and then got up again.
“Change the chair. This one is too hot.”
Jiang Xu:”…”
Forget it. For the sake of Nuonuo’s work, let’s just bear with it.
He brought her another chair, and Zhou Qingyue gave him a victorious smile.
Jiang Xu: “I’ll dictate the marketing copy, and you’ll write it down – love starts from the mouth. One can indulge, but not be dependent.
The youthfulness and elegance of a woman are definitely reflected in her skin condition.
One’s “skin” throughout the year depends on spring, not just when the spring blossoms are at their peak, but beauty also needs to start early…”
An Nuonuo and Zhou Qingyue both couldn’t help looking at Jiang Xu.
This copy gave a high-class impression at first listen.
Where did he, a grown man, learn all this stuff?
This was a breeze for Jiang Xu.
After preparing the copy and posting it, Jiang Xu told Zhou Qingyue to leave:
“It’s late, you can go back and rest.”
Just like those heartless jerks.
“You!” Zhou Qingyue, outraged, stood up, her chest heaving. “You’re shameless, used me and now you’re kicking me out, aren’t you?
Jiang Xu shrugged. “I’m doing this for your own good.
Zhou Qingyue was really furious.
How had she not noticed how shameless this man was before?
But soon, she had a smile on her face again.
Not caring that An Nuonuo was still there, she fluttered her eyelashes at Jiang Xu. “You’re so bad. I like you. Goodbye.”
She picked up her things and walked out.
“???” Jiang Xu was full of question marks.
That phrase sounded familiar.
“I… I’m going upstairs.”
An Nuonuo also left.
“Hm?”
Jiang Xu immediately sensed that An Nuonuo’s mood was a little off.
He instantly realized.
Probably his exchanges with Zhou Qingyue just now made An Nuonuo think that the two of them were flirting.
An Nuonuo was jealous.
Jiang Xu thought about it, there was indeed something not quite right just now. But he really didn’t have any other intentions towards Zhou Qingyue.
She was just a tool to him.
He was too careless, neglecting An Nuonuo’s feelings.
At this time, of course, he had to hurry and clarify the situation.
If there was a misunderstanding, it needed to be cleared up immediately.
Only a fool would let it fester.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Jiang Xu knocked on the door, “Nuonuo, open the door.”
“I’m kind of sleepy. If there’s anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Hearing her words, Jiang Xu confirmed that she was really angry. Without saying anything else, he went to the next room intending to climb over the window..
