Chapter 59 Double Standards



"Mingchen?" Sang Yu called tentatively on the phone. He seemed to have heard Wen Zhi's voice just now, and what Wen Zhi said was quite private.

Si Mingchen came back to his senses: "Yes, I'm here. Something happened just now."

Sang Yu: "In the case of Sang Qi, you have no evidence to prove that he was behind it, and now everyone is calling him a traitor. His father was so angry with him that he was hospitalized for several days."

Si Mingchen lowered his head slightly and looked out the window: "His father treated me well when something happened to our family before, so I don't want this incident to affect so many people. But Sang Qi is stubborn and keeps challenging my bottom line."

Sang Yu was puzzled: "What on earth is Sang Qi up to? He owes a lot of debts and doesn't make up for them properly. He makes trouble every day. He will be happy only when someone gives him a good beating, right?"

Si Mingchen held up his phone, with his other hand in his pocket: "Thanks, I've already investigated their network, and I need to find a way to lure them into a trap."

Sang Yu: "Okay, you decide."

Si Mingchen responded and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Sang Yu was thoughtful: "Is Mingchen so excessive?"

His friend sat beside him with his legs crossed: "What happened to Si Mingchen?"

...

...

Sang Yu thought of what Wen Zhi said and raised the corner of his lips: "Nothing."

My friend joked: "Don't worry about others, worry about yourself first."

Sang Yu: "You mean the marriage with the Ming family?"

The friend nodded: "I have heard of Ming Yantang's name. Almost all the handsome guys in the entertainment industry have dated him."

Sang Yu said indifferently: "I don't like boys. What he is like has nothing to do with me. I won't arrange marriage."

The friend raised an eyebrow: "Okay."

In the bedroom, Wen Zhi was still crying and complaining to Ming Yantang about her grievances, and Si Mingchen at the door could hear it clearly.

"Hahaha, so he is this kind of Si Mingchen?" Ming Yantang laughed heartily, "If you want to get it for free, just get it for free. Even an honest judge cannot judge family affairs."

Wen Zhi was lying on the bed with his butt facing Si Mingchen.

"But I need money. He won't pay me for the endorsement. I can only make money by running around for announcements recently."

Ming Yantang asked, "By the way, what exactly do you want to borrow money for? Can't you just swipe your husband's card?"

Wen Zhi sighed, muttering in a low voice, "Isn't it Rose Day in two days? It just so happens that that day is Si Mingchen's first day to work at Si Sheng. In previous years, Si Sheng would celebrate for him. This year, I want to give him a gift."

Ming Yantang said in a disdainful tone: "Good fellow, your husband doesn't give you endorsement fees, and you still borrow money to buy gifts for your husband, what else can I say?"

Wen Zhi spoke in a muffled voice: "So will you lend it to me or not?"

Ming Yantang: "No."

Wen Zhi hung up the phone: "Goodbye."

Lying on the bed, Wen Zhi secretly wiped away her tears. Whenever she thought of Jiang Xingnan's 15 million yuan endorsement fee, her heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

He Wen Zhi has been working in the entertainment industry for four years. The biggest notice fee he earned came from the crew of the movie "Wang", a total of 9.58 million yuan, which left 6.1 million yuan after tax deduction.

After much difficulty getting the endorsement from SiSheng Technology, the labor fee was actually zero.

Wen Zhi coughed twice, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and checked if there was any blood.

Si Mingchen looked at Wen Zhi, who was like a small shrimp, and leaned against the door frame, thinking slightly.

Just now Wen Zhi seemed to have said where the money was going to be used, but his voice was too soft and too fast, so he didn't hear it clearly.

After a long time, he sent a message to Assistant Wen, continued to keep his troops in place, and left quietly.

During dinner in the evening, Wen Zhi was in a bad mood and even had a bad temper. No matter how many times Si Mingchen called him, he refused to go downstairs to eat.

The housekeeper was surprised and asked, "Mr. Wen usually eats more actively than anyone else. Is he feeling unwell today?"

Simingchen nodded: "Yeah, the boy's thoughts."

The butler suppressed his surprised look, served the food and quietly left.

Young people’s thoughts?

If I remember correctly, Wen Zhi is already 27 years old.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening. Si Mingchen set the table and sat alone at the dining table to help Wen Zhi peel shrimps.

He stared at his cell phone, urging Assistant Wen and asking him whether the matter had been done.

Assistant Wen quickly replied: It takes time for the bank to process the information, please wait a moment.

Si Mingchen was not in a hurry, but he was worried about Wen Zhi's temper and refusing to eat.

Looking at the empty staircase, he prepared to bring the meal into the bedroom.

Suddenly, a surprised cry came from upstairs. Si Mingchen smiled and lowered his head to continue peeling shrimps.

Wen Zhi's voice was very penetrating, and his throat almost broke because he was so happy.

"Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, hundreds of thousands, millions ...

"One hundred million?"

He was rolling around in bed happily, holding the phone on which he was talking to Qingwan.

Qing Wan continued, "Congratulations. The endorsement fee + platform fee + public relations fee is a total of 100 million."

Wen Zhi: "PR fees?"

Qing Wan: "I've heard about your heroic deeds on the day of the new product launch. Most of the endorsement fee was rewarded to you by Si Sheng. You saved their indelible losses."

Wen Zhi smiled and said, "I am just a nobody. I just followed the trend that day. I feel unworthy of this. I really feel unworthy of this."

Qingwan teased him: "Then can you give me some?"

Wen Zhi: “…” No way.

Qing Wan laughed twice: "You are no longer a nobody now, you are at least a traffic star. In addition to the advertisement of Sisheng Technology, I have three or four advertisements inviting you, all of which are big brands."

Wen Zhi: "Okay, okay, I will cooperate."

Qingwan nodded, and after ending the call, she and her assistant continued to select an advertising endorsement suitable for Wen Zhi.

The assistant just heard the entire conversation between Qing Wan and Wen Zhi, and asked curiously: "Wen Ge's endorsement fee for Si Sheng Technology is 100 million?"

Qing Wan said meaningfully, "Not that much. Si Sheng gave 15 million yuan as the endorsement fee, but after deducting various other expenses, not much was left for Wen Zhi. Si Sheng was afraid that Wen Zhi would feel disappointed because the endorsement fee was much less than Jiang Xingnan's, so he transferred some money from his personal account to him as pocket money, and lied to him that it was the endorsement fee."

The assistant still had some doubts: "Why is Wen Ge's endorsement fee lower than Jiang Xingnan's? I remember Jiang Xingnan is the brand ambassador."

Qing Wan: "Because of his status, Jiang Xingnan is an award-winning actor after all, and he signed a three-year contract, so it's normal that the price would be higher. Jiang Xingnan seems to be short of money recently."

The assistant thought for a moment, "I see."

On this side, Wen Zhi felt very happy after hanging up the phone. His steps became lighter and he felt a sense of satisfaction in making money to support his family.

It was already late and he was very hungry, so he ran to the spiral staircase with devilish steps and quietly looked at the restaurant from top to bottom.

In the restaurant, Si Mingchen was the only one, looking lonely, peeling shrimps.

Wen Zhi hesitated and walked slowly to Si Mingchen. He quietly placed his fingers on the peeled prawns and picked up two of them while Si Mingchen was not paying attention.

Simingchen raised his head gently: "Are you hungry? I'll eat the shrimp first, and I'll help you mix the crab roe noodles."

Wen Zhi looked at Si Mingchen who was so considerate and suddenly felt guilty. I guess Si Mingchen didn’t realize that I was throwing a tantrum just now, right?

"Just now, Qingwan said that Si Sheng's endorsement fee was transferred to me. Did you ask them to reimburse me?"

Si Mingchen's expression was unclear: "Give it to you? This is their operation, I'm not too sure. Usually the general manager over there gives the authority for large flows of funds."

Wen Zhi paused and said, "So that's how it is. Then why did you say that you wouldn't give me the endorsement fee?"

Si Mingchen manipulated the crab claws carefully: "I'm just kidding you."

Wen Zhi said "Oh", ran behind Si Mingchen and hugged him from behind.

"Do you know how much money they gave me?"

Simingchen: "How much?"

Wen Zhi held up three fingers: "Thirty million."

Si Mingchen's smile deepened: "So many?"

Wen Zhi was serious and looked very credible: "Jiang Xingnan is 15 million, and I, as a spokesperson, am 30 million. That shouldn't be too much, right?"

Si Mingchen nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

"Actually, I don't really need this endorsement fee. I just want to save some money for myself."

Si Mingchen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Wen Zhi hid his little treasury quite ruthlessly this time.

He raised his eyes, only two centimeters away from Wen Zhi: "Who would hide a secret stash of money and tell everyone about it?"

Wen Zhi nuzzled Simingchen's face and asked, "Do you have a small stash of money?"

Si Mingchen: "Mine is a big vault."

Wen Zhi didn't care. He made a "tsk" sound and sat beside her, slurping the noodles.

Si Mingchen's assets are not limited to salary cards and real estate, some stock funds account for the majority.

If Wen Zhi really wanted to know Si Mingchen's financial status, it would take a long time, and he was too lazy to know. It was good for him to be a small salted fish swimming in her husband's pond.

Wen Zhi was in a good mood that night and had a couple of drinks with Si Mingchen at the dinner table. When he was drunk, he looked at Si Mingchen with eyes full of affection and love, and he was completely obedient no matter how Si Mingchen played games with him.

Wen Zhi's mouth corners were upturned until he went to bed. Si Ming endured it all night, but was finally amused by Wen Zhi, who kissed his nose and whispered, "Why are you so happy tonight?"

Wen Zhi said dazedly, "I have money now."

Si Mingchen hugged him and took the opportunity to ask, "Rich Zhizhi, what do you want to do?"

Wen Zhi muttered: "How rich are you?"

Simingchen: "Very rich, can buy anything."

Wen Zhi: "Then I will support seven handsome husbands, one day

Change it to something different. ”

The tenderness in Si Mingchen's eyes gradually disappeared. He stood up suddenly and turned on the starry sky floor lamp beside the bed: "Marry seven husbands? What about Si Mingchen? What about him?"

Wen Zhi half opened his eyes: "Si Mingchen? Be my big husband."

Si Mingchen's expression gradually tensed up: "Where's the second husband? Is there anyone to choose?"

Wen Zhi turned over and rested his head on Si Mingchen's legs: "Yes, his name is Si Si."

Si Mingchen's back stiffened slightly, and he asked with a bit of disbelief: "Where's the third brother?"

Wen Zhi said in a calculating voice: "Mingming."

Si Mingchen raised his eyebrows: "Old Four?"

Wen Zhi: "Deep."

Si Mingchen narrowed his eyes, suspecting that Wen Zhi had actually woken up.

"What about the remaining three husbands?" he continued to ask, wanting to see how Wen Zhi would make up a story.

Wen Zhi smiled and said, "Little winter melon, little watermelon and little pumpkin."

Si Mingchen: “…”

I'll let you off this time.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Wen Zhi had 100 million yuan in his hand and had already figured out how to spend it.

Choosing a good day, he followed Ming Yantang to Chengfeng Yuye to help Si Mingchen choose a gift.

Now that the weather is getting better, many people will go out to sea in Jiangjing City, which is built on the sea.

In previous years, Si Mingchen did not go out to sea very often. He would occasionally attend private dinners or cocktail parties with friends and would return home before dawn.

But Wen Zhi had seen a photo of Si Mingchen before he got married. At that time, Si Mingchen had a diving suit and a surfboard beside him, and behind him was a yacht with the letter "S" on it.

The person who received them was Ming Yantang's friend, Gu Bin.

As they walked, Ming Yantang saw Wen Zhi's nouveau riche look and asked, "Did you borrow the money?"

Wen Zhi raised his eyebrows, touched here and looked there: "Do I need to borrow? My endorsement fee is 100 million."

Ming Yantang teased, "One hundred million for an endorsement? Don't spread that nonsense everywhere, or others will definitely criticize your sky-high pay."

Wen Zhi closed his mouth cautiously: "Who told you not to lend me money?"

Ming Yantang sighed, "It's not that I won't lend it to you. I just used all my money to fill the hole at home not long ago. My dad's company ran into problems and his hair turned white overnight."

Wen Zhi's eyebrows were filled with worry: "Do you need my help? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ming Yantang: "No, we can get together and hold on for now."

Wen Zhi walked and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, remember to tell me."

Ming Yantang: “Yeah.”

Standing in front of a pink yacht model, Wen Zhi asked, "How much is this one?"

Gu Bin smiled in confusion: "This one is more suitable for girls."

Wen Zhi: "Can you spray paint it? Do you have it in stock?"

Gu Bin: "You can customize the engraving. We have stock."

Ming Yantang saw that he was interested in the pink yacht, "Why? Are you going to give this to Si Mingchen?"

Wen Zhi: "Doesn't it look good?"

Ming Yantang: "Can you have a better vision?"

Wen Zhi was indignant at being criticized for no reason, and then he set his eyes on a blue and white yacht.

"How much is this?"

Gu Bin: "This yacht is 96 feet long and was designed by a famous Polish luxury yacht manufacturer. The interior is extremely luxurious and uses the most advanced technology. It is in stock and you can go in and take a look."

Wen Zhi winked at Ming Yantang and whispered to him, "Can you give your friend a discount?"

Ming Yantang almost rolled his eyes: "Don't you have 100 million? This is only 45 million."

Wen Zhi naturally couldn't tell Ming Yantang that he had concealed his true labor fee, and only murmured: "My budget is 30 million yuan."

Gu Bin: "It's okay, I'll take you to see it first."

Wen Zhi nodded in agreement and followed Gu Bin onto the AMELS Sun yacht.

After seeing the interior facilities of the yacht, Wen Zhi couldn't let it go and wished he could live on it.

What satisfied him most was the luxurious bed on the top floor of the yacht, which allowed him to experience the feeling of the little prince waking up in a 100-square-meter room in Jack Su's novel.

The outside of the bedroom is closely connected to the balcony, almost forming an integrated whole. Various precious flowers and plants are blooming on the balcony, just like a medieval European castle.

Si Mingchen loves playing games so much, so this place is the best choice for both of them.

Seeing Wen Zhi staring at the balcony in a daze, Ming Yantang crossed his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Zhi: "It's quite spacious and should be comfortable to use. It's not too hot with the sea breeze. There's also artificial turf, which is soft and not too hard."

"Use it?" Ming Yantang looked at him strangely. "Since you like it so much, pay for it and swipe the card."

Gu Bin cooperated very well and took out the POS machine: "I'll give you an 18% discount, 3900w."

Wen Zhi hesitated, holding the card tightly and not wanting to let go.

Gu Bin pointed to the bedroom and said, "Mr. Wen, if you feel stuffy, you can open the skylight. You can see the sea reflected by the mirror on the top of the yacht. It's very comfortable."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "This roof can also be turned into a mirror."

Wen Zhi glanced at Gu Bin and handed him the card: "Pay the bill."

Gu Bin: "Thank you for your patronage."

After buying the yacht, Wen Zhi arranged for workers to take it over, and he and Ming Yantang returned to the city and went back to their respective homes.

Rose Valentine's Day is tomorrow. In order to create a super surprise for Si Mingchen, Wen Zhi decided to go to the crew first and then praise him.

So, he called Si Mingchen and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the new drama "Forbidden Spring Court" for the opening ceremony, so I won't be going home."

As Wen Zhi expected, Si Mingchen asked in detail: "Can it be finished tomorrow night? If so, I will pick you up and I would like to invite you to dinner tonight."

Wen Zhi decisively refused: "Sorry, I have something else to do in the evening, so I can only go back the next day."

Si Mingchen had a good temper: "It's okay, I'll pick you up the next day."

After communicating with Si Mingchen, Wen Zhi contacted Chen Yu and Sang Yu as planned and told them his ideas. It just so happened that these two people had nothing to do and agreed to the action tomorrow.

Wen Zhi was attending the opening ceremony of the filming crew and had just finished burning incense.

The crew configuration of "Forbidden Spring Court" is relatively luxurious in the first half of the year in the domestic entertainment industry, and it has gained the expectations of many readers and fans as soon as it was officially announced. Co-starring with Wen Zhi are other veteran actors in the entertainment industry who have both talented acting skills and virtuous character.

The male lead is played by Chen Zhi, an actor who specializes in serious dramas. He has a regular appearance, and is handsome, resolute and handsome.

After the opening ceremony, Chen Zhi stopped Wen Zhi and asked, "Are you going back to the city later? Or are you staying in the film and television city for a few days?"

Wen Zhi smiled gently: "Live here."

Chen Zhi nodded and suddenly asked, "Is the endorsement fee for commercial endorsements very high now? Actors like us who don't accept endorsements are really losing out."

Wen Zhi was embarrassed for a moment, and looked at Chen Zhi thoughtfully: "It's okay, you can take it if you want."

Chen Zhi smiled mysteriously: "Is it true that one endorsement costs 100 million? When I heard others talk about this, I was tempted."

Wen Zhi was stunned, not understanding what Chen Zhi meant by suddenly saying this to him.

"I'm not sure about this. After all, the endorsement fees are not transparent."

Chen Zhi seemed to know something and smiled strangely: "Okay."

Back at the hotel, Wen Zhi began to ponder what Chen Zhi meant. Does everyone know the amount of advertising fees that Si Sheng gave him?

He quickly sent a WeChat message to Qing Wan to explain the matter clearly. Qing Wan comforted him, "Don't worry. We didn't charge you an exorbitant salary. You got what you deserve. As for what Chen Zhi meant and whether someone leaked the information, let me check it out."

Wen Zhi nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "I haven't spent it all, there's still some."

Qingwan joked, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

That night, Wen Zhi slept alone in the hotel. He felt very insecure and woke up three or four times. He only slept for two hours until dawn the next day.

At noon, he forced himself to get up, dressed up carefully and went to the venue for the party in the evening.

Si Mingchen and Chen Yu had agreed to meet at four o'clock in the afternoon, so he needed to go there in advance to prepare a surprise for Si Mingchen.

Si Sheng’s official Weibo account has been reviewing Si Mingchen’s achievements over the past year. In fact, this ceremony has been maintained in Si Sheng for decades. It was passed down from the old president Si and is regarded as the anniversary of joining the company.

Wen Zhi strolled on the rented beach and drew hearts in the sand.

Finally it was evening and Wen Zhi quietly retreated. There is a long wooden European-style table on the shore of the empty beach. The bright lights on the tent flicker with the light and shadow. Violins, organs and other musical instruments are placed on marble porcelain tables. The surrounding original wood pillars support the starry sky roof, surrounding the party.

As the afterglow of the setting sun changed, the figures of Si Mingchen, Chen Yu and others appeared on the shore.

Chen Yu, who was followed by a pet dog, asked nonchalantly, "Mingchen, why didn't I see your Wen Zhi today?"

Si Mingchen leaned back in his chair, clearly not interested: "He has something to do."

Chen Yu and Sang Yu looked at each other and said, "It doesn't matter. If Wen Zhi doesn't come, we can just get together."

Si Mingchen raised his hand and poured himself a glass of champagne, looking around.

"How do you want to eat here?"

Chen Yu: "To celebrate your seventh anniversary."

Si Mingchen said calmly: "Thank you, but this arrangement is really too childish. I didn't expect you like this style."

Sang Yu smiled lazily, supporting his head with his right hand: "Mingchen, can you tell me exactly where you are ugly?"

Si Mingchen frowned and thought seriously, "It can't be called ugly, but it feels like something girls like. I don't like this style."

Chen Yu laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "Okay, okay, let's celebrate for President Si today. President Si is the most important, we all listen to him."

The Husky brought by Chen Yu was very active and ran happily on the beach.

Si Mingchen followed the Husky and looked into the distance, and found many strange hearts painted on the beach.

He said with a hint of disdain: "Did you draw the heart, or did someone else draw it?"

Chen Yu played word games: "We prepared all of this just to make you happy."

Si Mingchen's expression was indescribable: "Your dog trampled all those hearts."

Chen Yu turned around and called the dog's name: "Jack, come back soon."

Simingchen was in a bad mood today, so he said casually, “Let it play.”

Chen Yu: "Don't you want to keep this love?"

Si Mingchen: "What's the point of keeping it."

Chen Yu was happy and let the dog stir up the sand and destroy the love, and continued drinking with everyone.

Sang Yu also noticed that Si Mingchen was obviously not interested, so he teased him, "Are you missing Wen Zhi because he's not here?"

Si Mingchen did not refute Sang Yu's speculation. Sang Yu showed a useless expression: "That's enough."

At this time, a luxury yacht gradually approached the distant coastline, which looked dark blue at first glance.

Chen Yu said slowly: "Mingchen, is this yacht yours?"

Si Mingchen just glanced at it and said, "No."

Chen Yu: "Isn't that right? Why do I feel like it's yours?"

Si Mingchen raised his eyes again, looking at the blue and white behemoth not far away, and said slowly: "I don't like this style of yacht, it's not mine."

Chen Yu left quietly, looking as if he was enjoying a good show.

The yacht was only a hundred meters away from the coastline. In order to better show this super cool yacht to Si Mingchen, Wen Zhi asked the captain to adjust the direction so that the engraved part faced Si Mingchen.

So, when Si Mingchen raised his head casually, he saw a few eye-catching big words on the yacht opposite.

"Chichi Ace."

Si Mingchen stood up immediately, with shock in his eyes, and a guess gradually arose in his mind.

At this moment, everyone gathered together to watch this brand new yacht.

Suddenly, Wen Zhi jumped out from the steps in front of the yacht, holding two balloons and putting them together to form a heart: "Dangdangdang, Simingchen, Happy Rose Valentine's Day!"

Si Mingchen gradually smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Wen Zhi stood on it and said cheerfully, "The yacht is my gift to you. I designed the layout of the venue myself. Does it look good? Look back at the love heart on the beach. I also drew it myself. Are you surprised?"

Si Mingchen was suddenly stunned.

It turns out that Wen Zhi’s endorsement fee was to be used to buy gifts for himself.

Sang Yu and others couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Chen Yu was even more interested in watching the fun: "Wen Zhi, someone just said that this decoration is so childish, it's not luxurious at all."

Wen Zhi's arm dropped immediately, and the heart balloon also drooped down. He jumped off the yacht and walked towards everyone with a disappointed look on his face: "Who said that? Siming Chen?"

Chen Yu looked meaningfully at Si Mingchen beside him, only to find that he was no longer there.

"Where's Mingchen?"

There were about five or six people on the beach, all of them were Si Mingchen's friends. Several people looked at each other, and after hearing the rapid "rustling" sound coming from behind, they all looked in the direction at the same time.

At this time, the hearts that were crushed by the dog have been restored to their original state. Si Mingchen stood tall with one hand behind his back, holding a wooden stick.

Wen Zhi leaned over and looked at him: "Si Si, don't you like the venue I arranged for you?"

Si Mingchen clenched the stick tightly and said in a serious tone: "I never said that I like it very much."
