Chapter 81 Brand Endorsement Preparing to find a brand endorsement...
This was the most complex episode with the male contestants' text messages. Gu Jingchen and Du Yanting, in particular, both gave the audience a bad feeling.
[Will they change their ways in the end? No way.]
Going out on a date is supposed to be fun. But Qiao Wanshu ended up doing something like that. Who would keep pampering her?
[Is it not okay for Qiao Qiao to speak her true thoughts? Why, do you love men so much?]
If they also changed sides, Qiao Wanshu's situation in the cabin would be awkward, probably even worse than the other female guests.
"Does a rich girl need your pity? Instead of dwelling on this, why not think about how much you earn each month and whether you're working hard?"
[I don't care about Qiao Wanshu. I'm just curious about the progress of my junior and Xu Qinghu. Why did he post such strange content? What did they talk about before? It feels so ambiguous.]
The barrage was full of enthusiasm, and people kept discussing the content of the text message. At this time, the program team released the information of the female guest.
[Zhong Zining to Wu Xuan]: "Since you didn't go on a date with me this time, I can reluctantly give you another chance. But I won't allow you to do that next time."
[Ruan Xiaoyu to Wu Xuan]: "Junior, you made me so sad today. It's heartbreaking."
[Wen Ruoxi to Gu Jingchen]: "I found a coffee shop to read this afternoon. Downstairs, people were coming and going. They were young and free, their smiles carefree and bright. I can't remember how long it's been since I've felt so relaxed. When I was in school, I was busy with my studies. After graduation, I rushed to work. Even when I had some free time, I had to plan for my future. It seemed like I was always in a hurry. After arriving at the cabin, I tried to calm down, hoping to find my ideal partner. But until today, when I quietly finished a whole book and heard the bright laughter downstairs, I knew it was time to wake up from this dream, just like you do to me. Sooner or later, we all have to return to reality. It's just that I wasn't so lucky; I woke up earlier."
[Qiao Wanshu to He Shengnian]: "If I had the chance, I'd like to go on picnics, ski, dive... and do lots of things with you. Not just on the show."
[Xu Qinghu to He Shengnian]: "With you by my side, I always feel safe. Thank you for choosing me. I hope that next time, and the next time... you will stand by me without hesitation."
[Qiao Wanshu finally sent it to He Shengnian.]
[Tears in my eyes, is Wen Ruoxi going to give up on Gu Jingchen?]
Wen Ruoxi has been showing kindness to Gu, but Gu has never responded. What else can she do if she doesn't give up? Is this just a waste of time?
[I feel like the female guests in the room are all very unique. Ruan Xiaoyu is lively and cute, Zhong Zining has a straightforward personality, and Wen Ruoxi is delicate and considerate. If they hadn't met Qiao Wanshu and Xu Qinghu, they would all be good choices. What a pity...]
[What's so regrettable? Dating variety shows are very popular right now. Even the least popular one, Wen Ruoxi, has over 400,000 fans. After the show is over, her fans may even exceed one million. It will be easy to monetize.]
[Qiao Wanshu's actions don't blame Gu Jingchen and Du Yanting for sending those text messages.]
After reading the text message, everyone's mood was very different.
The one with the most complicated feelings was Qiao Wanshu. She didn't expect that Wu Xuan was actually interested in Xu Qinghu, which led to Xu Qinghu receiving more text messages than her.
What made her even more upset was the content of the text message she received.
Gu Jingchen could be said to be the most steadfast person towards her in the room besides Qi Song, but he sent such a suggestive message that forced her to be on high alert.
Add to that Du Yanting. If she could still feel some affection from him at the beginning, there is no signal at all now. He seems to be completing a task. He is usually indifferent to her and does not take the initiative to fight for a date at critical moments. He just sends her a message once a week. On the surface, he seems to like her, but in fact he is completely deceiving the audience.
A large part of Qiao Wanshu's popularity in the show is due to the favor of the male guests. If even they become cold to her, she doesn't know how miserable her life will be in the future.
But things have developed to this point, and she is no longer able to save the situation on her own.
She can only hope that Xu Qinghu will reveal his true identity sooner rather than later and divert public opinion away from her, otherwise she will become a complete joke in the romance show.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the social software, she saw the hot search about Xu Qinghu's heavy blow to the whistleblower.
Qiao Wanshu pursed his lips and subconsciously contacted his brother, worried that there would be unexpected events in their plan.
Qiao Xicheng thought she was too cautious, "Don't worry, this is just a pathfinder."
He smiled and said, "What's the point of just exposing her ex-boyfriend? We have to take it step by step."
"But she's already fighting back, I'm afraid..."
"I saw it." This was indeed beyond Qiao Xicheng's expectations. He thought that in order to maximize profits, Xu Qinghu and the program team would wait a little longer, but he didn't expect her to react so quickly.
But this did not affect his later arrangements: "What are you afraid of? This is just the beginning. I have made sufficient preparations. You can rest assured."
Qiao Wanshu couldn't help but ask, "He Shengnian seems to want to help her. Will he find out about us?"
"What can we find out?" Qiao Xicheng chuckled and said, "We don't even know the whistleblower."
Qiao Wanshu felt relieved for a moment, but Qiao Xicheng suddenly changed the subject: "Qiao Qiao, your recent performance has been increasingly disappointing to me."
Qiao Wanshu's body stiffened.
Qiao Xicheng said in a deep voice: "I remember reminding you before that you must remain calm and composed no matter who you face, and not expose your weaknesses because of impulsiveness, but how did you do it?"
Qiao Wanshu's breathing stagnated, and he spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry, brother. I was too impulsive."
She had no good feelings towards Gu Jingchen. She felt extremely disgusted when she saw his eyes and didn't want to have any contact with him at all.
"How can you help the family like this?" Qiao Xicheng sighed. "Every time before you do something, think about our future life instead of being emotional. After all, my brother doesn't want you to go out and get married."
Qiao Wanshu lowered her eyelashes. Thinking of those fat and big-eared blind date candidates, breathing seemed to become extremely difficult. "I know, brother."
"Be obedient," Qiao Xicheng said, "I know you are a good girl."
Qiao Wanshu thought of Qiao Xicheng's embarrassment in trying to attract investment, and the way his parents sighed at home, and felt a heavy weight fall from his heart. "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanshu stayed in the bathroom for a long time, until his legs were numb from standing, and then he returned to the bedroom like a wandering ghost.
[Look at Qiao Wanshu's red eyes. Was she crying in the bathroom just now?]
[Is it that serious? It's just one missed text message. Why aren't those female guests who didn't receive the text message as pretentiously as her?]
[The rich girl's mental state is worrying.]
Honestly, the later the show gets, the more I feel Qiao Wanshu is out of place. Is she truly a second-generation rich kid? Are second-generation rich people as anxious and stressed as she is? Does anyone know what company Qiao Wanshu actually works for?
[+1, I suspect she's not a rich second-generation person at all, she's just been creating a persona for herself]
The next day, Xu Qinghu woke up naturally. When he came downstairs, he saw You Zhi making breakfast in the kitchen.
He was wearing a gray apron, his hair fell naturally on his forehead, and he looked elegant and clean.
Seeing Xu Qinghu, he took the initiative to ask: "Did you have a good rest last night?"
"It's doing fine." Xu Qinghu looked through the kitchen window and saw the gourd vine growing freely beside the fence. He smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of it."
You Zhi shook his head. "It's because the weather has been so good recently that it's growing so fast."
"By the way," Xu Qinghu looked at him and said, "We agreed to go buy flower pots together. If the production team doesn't have any plans today, let's go buy some."
She didn't want to keep You Zhi waiting.
"Okay." You Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Xu Qinghu with a burning gaze. "The flower, bird, and fish market is not far from the cottage."
Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled, "Then I'll go out and take a look at the gourd vine."
"I can help with watering," You Zhi said, "The watering can is right next to it."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu walked into the garden and looked at the green gourd vines that were clinging to the wooden supports. It was not time for them to bloom and bear fruit, but they were full of vitality.
Xu Qinghu watered them and looked at the flowerpots below, thinking that it was indeed time to change them.
You Zhi stood in the kitchen, looking at her figure with her back to him with a faint smile on his lips.
After breakfast, when everyone thought that the production team would not cause any more trouble today, the director suddenly appeared in the living room and said that he had something important to announce.
Seeing his cheerful smile, everyone had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second, they heard him say, "As everyone knows, since the start of this season, the popularity of this show has continued to rise, attracting sponsorship from many advertisers."
"Usually, commercial shoots are done in a small room, so we don't need to go outside. But this time, it's different. The sponsor has special requirements, and we hope everyone can compete to be the spokesperson for the commercial according to their requirements. This endorsement is not negotiated with them through the program, but is a unique endorsement for the guests. Once it is agreed, it will be a win-win result for both parties."
"What?" Everyone thought they had misheard. "Aren't ads supposed to be tied to the show? Why make it so complicated?"
"Of course the brands are very satisfied with the guests on our show," the director said proudly. "After careful consideration, we plan to select two guests who align with the company's positioning to endorse their new products."
After a brief silence, Zhong Zining took the initiative to ask: "What brand?"
The director immediately mentioned a name, which turned out to be a well-known company with considerable weight in the industry.
The company covers a wide range of businesses, including not only food and daily necessities industries, but also high-end lines such as skin care and beauty. It can be said to be a national enterprise.
"Isn't this a branch of Yunzhou Holdings?" Ruan Xiaoyu blinked. "Do they still need to find a spokesperson for a dating show?"
"You don't understand this," the director said with a smile: "Our program is very popular now, isn't it normal to attract high-quality sponsors?" His words were full of pride and happiness.
Qiao Wanshu asked, "What specific categories do you need to endorse?"
"You hit the nail on the head," the director emphasized. "It's the company's new fragrance, 'First Love.' I heard it evokes the feeling of first love, and it's the result of three years of research by the perfumer."
This perfume brand is very famous in the industry. If they can endorse it, not to mention the endorsement fee, the popularity it brings can directly make them rise from being a star on a dating show.
Thinking of the huge profits brought by endorsements, everyone seemed to breathe a little heavier.
Zhong Zining said excitedly: "After all this talk, how can I become the spokesperson?"
"It's very simple," the director said with a smile, "The sponsor wants to test everyone's sales ability first. Good salespeople make good spokespersons."
Everyone: "..."
