Hu Lan had no intention of giving up: "Are you worried about the children? I won't favor either of them, and my grandfather is very open-minded; he also has a good impression of you."
Jian Ruoxi pursed her lips and sighed softly.
Seeing her like this, Hu Lan wisely said, "I'll stop here for now. Remember to contact me if you need anything."
After Jian Ruoxi left, Hu Lan said to her assistant, "Go and investigate her."
The group returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's business negotiations. By dinner time, the assistant had also found Jian Ruoxi's information and informed Hu Lan.
"Jian Ruoxi is a celebrity. She initially experienced rural life in a village, and later invested in this Hope Primary School with Su Ziyu." The assistant looked at the script.
Hu Lan had a plan in mind. "Besides that, have you found any information about her endorsements? I remember our company has mother and baby products."
The assistant, holding a stack of documents, flipped through a couple of pages and found the endorsement section: "We don't have many endorsements at the moment. We don't have any endorsements for maternal and infant products, so there won't be any conflict with the brands."
Hu Lan understood, and sent me all the maternal and infant products from the company.
I've made a simple classification, including nursing outerwear that pregnant mothers often use, as well as support belts to help with a growing belly, and so on.
Hu Lan nervously dialed Jian Ruoxi's number: "Ms. Jian, our company has some maternal and infant products and we would like to invite you to be our spokesperson. If you are interested, we can discuss it in person."
Having never taken on any commercial advertising in this area, Jian Ruoxi was already interested, but she still needed to discuss it with her agent. So when she returned to Hu Lan, she didn't rule it out completely: "I need to discuss it with the company."
After the two hung up the phone, Jian Ruoxi called Ran Jie: "Brother Ran, Hu's Company wants me to be their spokesperson for their baby and maternity products. Do you think I can accept the offer?"
Ran Jie had heard of this company; it was quite large, and the quality of its products was generally reliable. However, for safety's sake, he told Jian Ruoxi, "I'll have someone investigate further to see if they have any safety issues."
“Okay,” Jian Ruoxi replied.
However, this news piqued Ran Jie's interest. Logically speaking, if a company wants to find an endorser, it should go through an agent and then find the artist. Why is it that this time they are directly contacting the artist, bypassing him?
He asked, "How did they find you? I don't have their information in my email."
Jian Ruoxi said, "It was during the last time we filmed the show that Hope Primary School was blocked by bullies, and then the Hu family stepped in to resolve the issue."
Ran Jie didn't ask any more questions, but for safety's sake, he had someone find out who was in charge of Hu's Company. Hu Tao was the chairman, and Hu Lan was his grandson.
He sent the document to Jian Ruoxi, asking her to carefully verify whether the name and face matched.
After everything was normal, Ran Jie contacted Hu Lan's company via email: Hello, we are from Huarui Company, I am Jian Ruoxi's agent, let's talk about maternal and infant products in person.
Both parties reached an agreement and arranged to meet. Hu Lan handed the documents to Ran Jie: "I have selected a health care product for pregnant women, which is beneficial to both the mother and the baby."
"Another one is a maternity support bag for pregnant women."
Both parties reached an agreement, and Ran Jie said, "Shall we apply it first, Xi Xi?"
Jian Ruoxi said, "Of course we have to use it. How can we endorse it if we don't?" She asked Hu Lan, "Give me one of your products. I need to try it for a few days."
Hu Lan called to her assistant, "Go and bring the things in."
Three large boxes, overflowing with goods, were placed in front of Jian Ruoxi. Faced with so many items, she was a little overwhelmed: "So many?"
"Besides the maternity support belt, there are several others. You can try them out and choose whichever one you want to endorse," Hu Lan said generously.
A few days later, Jian Ruoxi chose a maternity support belt and a pregnancy pillow.
She then went to the filming location. On set, Jian Ruoxi faced the camera and demonstrated how to use the maternity support belt and its effects.
The director directed the lighting technician to move positions and choose the best shooting location. After this take was finished, the director politely said to Jian Ruoxi, "Sister Jian, we've finished shooting this take. You can take a break first, and we'll shoot the next one later."
Jian Ruoxi hadn't felt tired yet and wanted to continue filming: "I'm fine, I can still keep filming."
But the director insisted that he return to his seat.
The director knew that Jian Ruoxi's career was booming and dared not offend her. On the other hand, Hu Lan was an investor who specifically invited Jian Ruoxi to be his spokesperson, so he also knew how to assess the situation.
While Jian Ruoxi was resting in her seat, Hu Lan came to visit the set with her entourage. The director personally greeted her, saying, "Mr. Hu, what brings you here?"
Hu Lan exchanged a few polite words with him: "Is there anything else you need?"
"No, Miss Jian just finished filming a scene and is resting over there." The director tactfully gave Hu Lan a chance to leave.
Hu Lan walked over and struck up a conversation with Jian Ruoxi: "Are you tired from filming?"
"This is nothing compared to filming a movie," Jian Ruoxi said nonchalantly.
Hu Lan also took out some sour oranges, pineapples and other fruits from her bag. "These are all washed. Pineapple is also good, it'll whet your appetite."
Gu Hao witnessed all of this from the side, but since Jian Ruoxi was someone he needed to protect, he couldn't say anything.
However, Lu Shen was his employer, so after returning home, Gu Hao took the initiative to go to Lu Shen's office: "Brother, I have something to report to you."
Lu Shen looked at the usually taciturn bodyguard and asked him, "What is it?"
Gu Hao said frankly, "I have been following Miss Jian around and protecting her safety. Everything that needed to be resolved has been resolved. It just seems that you two are facing a relationship crisis."
"What do you mean?" Lu Shen didn't quite understand what Gu Hao was saying.
Gu Hao continued to explain, "The Hu family invited Jian Ruoxi to be their spokesperson."
"I know about this. Xixi told me about it when she came home a few days ago." Lu Shen knew about it, but at the time the two of them were having a cold war, and Jian Ruoxi simply explained what she was doing.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Hao said, "Hu Lan, the president of Hu Corporation, has been taking good care of Miss Jian during this time. She even visited her on set today."
"Moreover, Hu Lan also expressed her liking for Miss Jian."
Lu Shen slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "What?!"
They immediately notified Huarui's management: "Immediately cease all cooperation and endorsement with the Hu family."
The staff were scrambling to handle the situation because Huarui had unilaterally terminated the cooperation, and the contract involved compensation issues.
So Hu Lan took the initiative to meet with Lu Shen: "The filming was going so well, and you just stop production like that? Is this contract a joke?"
"I'll pay you whatever compensation you owe, but don't come near Xixi again." Lu Shen approached Hu Lan.
