Meng Chuyuan was a recognized abandoned wife in the wealthy circles. Her husband was rarely home, and her brother-in-law and mother-in-law were both notoriously bad-tempered.
Everyone laughed...
??Chapter 130: Who is right?
He wanted to stay because Meng Chuyuan cooked delicious food. If she chose to quit, Ting Jiu would not want to come either.
Although what Tingjiu said made sense, Lu Jinsen felt a little unhappy: "You are the one who can't cook, right?"
Lu Jinsen felt that there was no problem because he had tried it before. Apart from the fact that it didn't look very good and the taste was a bit off, he didn't fail.
At least what he made was edible.
Listen to Jiu Dafang admit: "I can't do it, can you?"
"Better than you."
[The eldest young master's specialty is probably scrambled eggs. I haven't seen him cook other dishes yet.]
[Although, I think they are both quite interesting and they speak the truth]
[Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping. You two should eat quickly, the food is getting cold.]
Miss Qi looked like an outsider at this moment, but she seemed to be enjoying her meal. This must have been a slap in the face.
Qi Yan ate most of the sweet and sour fish. She thought that since she had the nerve to sit down and eat with them, she might as well go all out and eat whatever she wanted.
Qi Yan thought that only the sweet and sour fish was delicious, and the others would not be of the same level. However, after eating the second and third dishes, she was really convinced.
This tastes much better than the internet-famous restaurant she invested in.
Perhaps the dishes on the table were more to her taste, so she finished her meal in a short while and even took back a small half bowl.
While the two of them were bickering, the director put down the lunch box in his hand, and came from outside the venue to Meng Chuyuan and the others on the pretext of product placement, and waited quietly for them to finish eating.
When they saw the director appear, they knew that the director must have something to explain, so they ate a little faster.
Because he had something else to say privately, the director asked the live broadcast to be closed ten minutes in advance.
"Director, why are you here?" Ting Jiu took the initiative to greet the director after seeing him.
Their games are often featured on popular shows, and Tingjiu has also gotten a lot of variety show time because of this, so he and the director are naturally old acquaintances.
The director glanced at him with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, then walked straight past him.
"..." Ting Jiu was a little confused as to why Director Luo suddenly became so cold to him.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan clearing the dishes, the director walked over with a smile: "Teacher Meng."
Meng Chuyuan stacked the empty bowls and plates on the table, looked back at the director, and asked curiously, "Director, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"It's true." The director rubbed his hands. His voice was not particularly loud and the smile on his face was not particularly natural.
"What's the matter? Go ahead." In order to hear him finish his words, Meng Chuyuan deliberately stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at him seriously.
In the few seconds before the director spoke, Meng Chuyuan thought about it and felt that nothing seemed to have happened today.
But when she saw that the director looked like he was worried, her eyebrows raised unconsciously, revealing a hint of doubt.
The director said humbly, "Let's talk on the side."
This was so mysterious that Meng Chuyuan was a little surprised.
However, Meng Chuyuan refused to communicate with him privately. She knew that the director was very cunning and would definitely not do anything good if he came to her.
Meng Chuyuan said bluntly: "Just tell me, I'm still busy."
The director put his hands in his pockets, smiled awkwardly, and laid the groundwork in advance: "There are two voice-over commercials here. I might need you to record them this afternoon."
This should be considered a normal advertising placement. I heard that Jiu came here with a mission to complete, and it has nothing to do with the guests of his show.
This time, because an advertiser specifically asked Meng Chuyuan to record the announcement, the director had to come over in person to discuss it with her and chat with her and have a few more episodes.
Meng Chuyuan showed a surprised expression: "You want me to record a voiceover advertisement for you?"
Why?
She is not a star, nor is she an internet celebrity who sells goods through live streaming. It is a bit outrageous that these advertisements are directed at her.
"Yeah." The director nodded slightly.
Meng Chuyuan refused without a second thought: "I won't record it."
She came to this show without any source of income. She was just here to have fun and to replace Lu Qingye and help his brother out.
Lu Jinsen's agent had privately discussed the appearance fee with her. Since she was an amateur on the show, the program team wouldn't give her too much in appearance fee. However, when the agent handed over the matter to her, he said that she could set a rough amount and they would make up the difference to her later.
Meng Chuyuan did not take the money and directly asked his agent to give the income to Lu Jinsen.
When she heard that the appearance fee was not high, Meng Chuyuan could guess that this fee might not be as much as what she won playing mahjong with those ladies.
So she just didn't want it.
Anyway, she thought about it and felt that Lu Qingye had never treated her badly, so it was only right for her to help him with this small favor.
The director's smile suddenly fell. He said, "Voiceover commercials are very simple. Just recite a few lines."
Meng Chuyuan's lips twitched slightly, forcing a smile as he spoke calmly, "It's indeed easy for me to record a talk show, but you're asking me to promote a product I've never come into contact with. If anything goes wrong in the future, who will be held responsible?"
Once this precedent is set, advertisers will surely come knocking on our door one after another.
The most important thing is that Meng Chuyuan doesn’t know whether there are any problems with those products or whether the quality is up to standard. He can’t promote them without any bottom line just for the sake of the task.
She would never take this kind of job.
What's more, she is just an ordinary person.
Director: "These are well-known brands in the country. It's not easy for them to go wrong."
"What if? Who can say for sure?" Meng Chuyuan refused to give in on this point.
director:"……"
Not to mention she has never used it, even if she has used it, she would not recommend it blindly. After all, some products vary from person to person and have a fixed audience group.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm busy."
Meng Chuyuan thought he came here for something important, but he ended up talking nonsense and broadcasting an advertisement to her.
The director had only eaten half of his meal when he made this special trip, and of course it wasn't entirely because of the advertisement.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan's dissatisfaction with the request he had just made, the director seemed even more humble and whispered, "There is indeed one thing."
Meng Chuyuan could tell at a glance that he was keeping her in suspense, so he said helplessly, "Go ahead."
The director lowered his eyes, blinking slightly, and said calmly, "You just said you wanted to quit the show. Are you serious about that?"
When they heard them talking about this topic, Lu Jinsen was the first to look over, and the other guests also slowly shifted their gaze to Meng Chuyuan.
"I'm serious," she said.
