Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Do you really not want to inspect the goods? ...

Lou Su stayed in the lounge for less than ten minutes before coming out unable to sit still.

Wang Yida was staring at the documents in her hands, instructing the staff member nearby. Suddenly, she felt a poke on her arm. She glanced at the person next to her and asked curiously, "Is there something you don't understand?"

"Sister Wang, is that Lou Su?"

Wang Yida followed her gaze and saw Lou Su walking towards her with an expressionless face, looking very difficult to deal with.

Wang Yida scratched her head. Someone had already escorted Teacher Lou to the lounge. She gave a few more instructions to the people beside her, then stepped over to Lou Su. "Teacher Lou, President Xia is still interviewing. If you don't want to wait—"

"Which room is she in?" Lou Su frowned slightly.

Wang Yida looked past Lou Su and towards the room behind him. Before she could say anything, Lou Su had already walked over.

Wang Yida quickly stopped him, "Teacher Lou, President Xia is still interviewing actors, you can't go in now."

Lou Su stopped and said, "Who said I was going in?"

He put on his headphones, leaned against the door, and closed his eyes gently.

The warm midday sun poured gently into the room, seemingly all falling on him, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thin halo of light.

The staff behind him took a deep breath and let out a small exclamation.

After more than ten minutes, the door was opened.

Lou Su stood up straight immediately, stuffed the earphones into his pocket, pursed his lips, and stared at the door.

He Jian walked out with a hint of joy in his eyes, and he gently closed the door.

As soon as he turned around, he was startled by Lou Su outside the door. He Jian politely greeted him, "Teacher Lou, good afternoon."

Lou Su hummed indifferently, "He Jian, right? How was the result of your interview?"

He Jian never expected that Lou Su knew his name. He was just a nobody, not even an 18th-tier celebrity, and had nothing to do with the music industry, yet Lou Su knew his name.

He Jian couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. Teacher Xia had already decided to let him join the studio, so he replied, "Not bad."

Lou Su said "oh".

The moment He Jian turned around and left, a faint "tsk" sound came from behind him.

Does Lou Su have any opinion about himself?

No matter what he thought, He Jian frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.

He then lowered his head slightly and stared at the right hand that Xia Nuan had just held. His hand was still trembling. He clenched it gently, and his Adam's apple rolled.

His thoughts wandered, and the smile on his lips widened until he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He joined Xia Nuan's studio. Xia Nuan just shook hands with him, and he can see her often.

It is a real warm summer.

He Jian was completely immersed in a bubble of happiness.

Lou Su stood outside the door and saw He Jian's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, and curled the corners of his mouth.

He rubbed his hair, took a deep breath, and just as he raised his right hand, before it touched the door, it opened from the inside.

Xia Nuan and two staff members walked out from inside.

His somewhat gloomy expression changed instantly.

Lou Su raised his eyes cautiously, and the next second, he immediately lowered them, his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing Lou Su, the two people who were talking to Xia Nuan looked at each other.

"Boss, I suddenly remembered that there's something I haven't done yet. I'll leave first."

"Yeah, I haven't even read the contract yet."

Lou Su looked at Xia Nuan, blinked, pursed his lips and said nothing, looking very aggrieved.

When Xia Nuan saw him like this, her heart skipped a beat. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. What is this kid Lou Su planning to do?

He walked forward a little, and just when he was about to meet Xia Nuan, he suddenly stopped. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Sister, I was wrong."

Xia Nuan stopped moving backwards.

The employees around seemed to be busy with their own things, but they kept their ears open and glanced over here from time to time.

Xia Nuan gently rubbed her temples and said, "Let's go to the office and talk."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the office.

There was no movement behind her. Xia Nuan looked back and saw Lou Su standing there motionless, like a sculpture, the kind of sculpture that made you look sad at first glance.

Xia Nuan pulled the corner of her mouth and made a joke, "Petrified?"

But Lou Su still didn't move.

Looking at the increasingly gossipy employees, Xia Nuan sighed and directly pulled Lou Su's arm and walked towards the office.

Lou Su let her lead him and followed her obediently, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Teacher Lou is so handsome. In all these years, I've never seen any scandals involving Lou Su, and our boss has never been moved. I watched their clips from the variety show "Rural Cottage" over and over again, and it's still in my collection. Alas, times have changed."

"Stop gossiping and get to work!"

Wang Yida pouted and said, what's the point of talking about love? Sister Nuannuan is obviously a career-oriented person.

Xia Nuan let go of Lou Su's wrist, clapped her hands, and stared at Lou Su without any hesitation, "What are you doing here? Don't try that on me again."

Lou Su coughed lightly, blinked, and whispered, "You blocked me."

He was wronged.

Xia Nuan twitched the corner of her mouth, "Don't you think I should block you?"

"I apologize to you, can you take me off the blacklist, please?"

The words were almost a plea.

Xia Nuan felt something was wrong, "Be more normal and don't talk like that."

Xia Nuan glanced at him and took a deep breath. "I can let you out, but... I don't want that incident to happen again."

Xia Nuan's words were a little vague, but both of them knew what was going on.

Lou Su's eyes darkened, and lust lingered on his brows. He took a few steps forward, leaned down, and looked straight at Xia Nuan. His tone was alluring, tempting her, "Sister, don't you really want to inspect the goods?"

The face was both wild and lustful, and the visual impact was instantly maximized.

When Xia Nuan was distracted, Lou Su took her hand and led her down——

Xia Nuan pushed him away, took a deep breath, and her expression turned cold.

"I'm sorry. I was just checking whether what Mr. Xia said was the same as what I thought."

Xia Nuan's words were blocked in her throat by Lou Su. She raised her eyebrows and laughed angrily.

Lou Su observed her expression and immediately took a few steps back. A trace of worry appeared between his brows again, and he looked so fragile that he would break with the slightest touch.

What's wrong with him? He always feels like he will break down at any time. Doubt, impatience and a little subtle concern replace other emotions.

"Teacher Xia, I understand what you mean. I won't do this again. I've actually been thinking these past few days that if you really don't like me, then my persistence will only make you hate me more. It seems there's no other point. I don't want you to hate me."

His eyebrows drooped, as if he could see that Xia Nuan's attitude had softened a little. Lou Su raised his eyes and said softly, "Teacher Xia, I'm sorry, I just—"

I just like you so much.

Lou Su swallowed the last few words. His lips curled down, his eyelashes trembled, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. "I won't be like this again. Don't hate me."

The last few words were vibrato.

This guy, he's not going to cry, is he? She is most afraid of people crying.

When did Lou Su become a crybaby? Was he possessed by someone, or some system or something?

Xia Nuan was thinking about all sorts of random things.

Perhaps it was the aftereffects of the original system, coupled with the knowledge that she was originally the heroine of a Mary Sue novel. Faced with all kinds of people who showed kindness to her over the years, she always felt that they liked her because they were influenced by the system.

Whether it is Ji Mian, Lou Su today, or perhaps Ye Li a long time ago.

Xia Nuan also knew that she was a bit petty, but...

Forget it. She felt that she would never have a romantic relationship in her life, and getting married was nonsense.

Feeling that her thoughts were about to drift to the sky, Xia Nuan quickly pulled herself back.

Lou Su's eyebrows were drooping, and he looked like he had been sentenced to death.

Xia Nuan felt a sudden pain in her heart, but the pain was so light and so small that she could hardly notice it and it had already slipped away.

"I can release you from the blacklist—" Xia Nuan was shocked by his expression before she could even state her conditions.

Lou Su suddenly raised his head, a thin layer of water light covered his eyes, with an imperceptible hint of humble and pleading expectation, and his tightly closed lips trembled slightly.

Xia Nuan's voice paused for a moment. She wanted to say something else, but in the end she just sighed.

Lou Su watched Xia Nuan release him from the blacklist, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but then fell back. He watched Xia Nuan's back as she left, somewhat fascinated, wondering what he was thinking.

······

A few days later, Lin Dayong suddenly received an email in his work mailbox. He rubbed his eyes and blinked to make sure he had not read the content correctly.

Xia Nuan had many endorsements, but because of the kidnapping incident in Italy and the deliberate fermentation of the incident by other people online, many endorsements clearly stated that they would not renew the contracts.

This luxury brand is one of them.

He stared at the email, his brows furrowed in knots, his expression unremarkable, whether happy or angry. This time, the invitation was no longer to endorse a specific product line, but to become the global spokesperson for the entire series.

This is not just any brand, why did they suddenly change their tune?

Not even half an hour later, Lin Dayong received another call from the other party. He first apologized and then made amends. His attitude was so good that it made people doubt that this was not a high-end luxury brand at all.

Before Lin Dayong could figure out what was going on, he received another email. This one was from another world-renowned blue-blood brand, a luxury jewelry brand that rarely hires endorsers. They even sent a draft contract. The contract was flawless, and the endorsement fee was among the highest in the world.

When Xia Nuan pushed open the office door, she saw Lin Dayong, who looked dazed and had a strange expression on his face, but with a smile on his lips.

"Brother Lin?"

Lin Dayong heard the voice and came back to his senses. His eyes gradually focused and he said in a daze, "Xiao Xia, there's no such thing as pie in the sky, but there might be gold. That's a global spokesperson, not a regional spokesperson, not a specific area. I must be dreaming."

Xia Nuan knew that although she was quite famous in China, she was not good enough in the international arena, and she was not like others who were clinging to some big boss or financial giant.

"Do you think someone might have hacked into the email company's system? Hahaha." Lin Dayong made a joke, but his expression and tone did not look joking at all.

He laughed dryly a few times, and the two looked at each other and fell into deep thought again.

Xia Nuan made the final decision, "Since we can't come up with anything by just thinking about it, why not just meet and talk directly. Whether it's a trap or gold, we'll know then."

······

International luxury jewelry brand Kaya has officially announced its new global spokesperson, with simultaneous announcements on its official Chinese and international websites. Offline advertising has also been fully rolled out, with prominent advertising appearing in top shopping districts across major cities.

[Fuck, what big move did Xia Nuan make without making any noise?]

[But honestly, if it weren't for that previous incident, Xia Nuan's status in China would actually be worthy of this.]

This is different. This is a top-tier luxury brand. Previous global spokespeople were world-renowned. No one in China has ever gotten this endorsement, aside from that already legendary actress. Furthermore, even that actress was only the face of one jewelry line, while Xia Nuan is the face of the entire line!

[I'm abroad, and the publicity here is also very large. The super luxury stores in the business district have also changed their photos to Xia Nuan.]

After the official announcement of the jewelry endorsement, Xia Nuan Studio’s mailbox received more resumes than before, but there are still many people waiting and watching.

However, the number of script contracts and related notices received by the company began to surge, and the amount in one week even exceeded the total of the previous period.

A month later, news came to light that Su Yuzhou Studio, Xia Nuan's studio and Qindao City were jointly building a new film talent incubation base.

A shared room in Hengdian.

A relatively good-looking young man said to his roommate, "Did you hear the news? Damn, I regret it so much! If I had known, I would have submitted my resume to Xia Nuan Studio a while ago. That's Su Yuzhou's movie. Why didn't this news come out earlier?"

His roommate gave him a cold look and said, "You shouldn't have stopped me from voting in the first place."

"Tsk, even if you throw it in you might not get in."

"You are the same."

Xia Nuan's personal studio.

The number of actors' resumes in the mailbox increased exponentially, with the busiest day boasting over 600. The studio's workload doubled, and Xia Nuan became busier than ever.

Wang Yida: "Sister Nuannuan, Director Su is really famous."

"It's Su Yuzhou after all." Xia Nuan shrugged with a smile and continued to work.

As one of the veteran employees, Fang Danyi was also dragged along to start screening resumes. The two chatted casually, "Didn't you select an actor a while ago? That person was incredibly lucky. If it were now, he might not have gotten in."

Xia Nuan stopped what she was doing and said after a while, "That's not necessarily true. He has excellent personal abilities, good looks, and good acting skills. He and I have worked together before, so I have an impression of him."

Fang Danyi shrugged. "Alright. Oh, by the way, how did Kaya come up with you as their spokesperson? Let me be clear, I'm not jealous, I'm just curious. The last global spokesperson for this brand of jewelry was that renowned Oscar-winning actress."

"I don't know. I'm also curious. They said I fit their brand's tone, but who knows the real reason? Even the most authoritative lawyers in this field didn't see the loopholes or traps. It's harmless, so I naturally won't push away something that's right in front of me."

"Kaya's style—" Fang Danyi blinked, looking at Xia Nuan thoughtfully, "You really fit the bill, and they're right. At least the wealthy ladies in my circle bought a lot of Kaya after they knew you were the spokesperson."

Xia Nuan laughed and shook her head.

After being a boss for a few months, Xia Nuan found that it was more tiring than acting.

Fortunately, in more than three months, all the work of the studio has been put on track, and the training of new actors and the screening of announcements are in line with the expected plan.

Xia Nuan finally had some time to rest. She looked at the movie notice in her hand with interest, wondering whether she should take on this role.

The same night after this idea came to her mind, Xia Nuan had another dream.

After returning from Sicily, except for the first month, she hadn't dreamed about that time for a long time.

But everything in this dream was so clear that it almost instantly brought her back to that day.

She saw the owner of those blue eyes again.

The sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains and fell squarely on Xia Nuan's cheek.

The temperature in the room was just right, but Xia Nuan had a layer of sweat on her forehead and cheeks. She frowned and pursed her lips.
