Yu Qinghuan and his friends changed their route, and the traffic immediately became much smoother. They soon arrived at Chongshang Car Wash, and immediately recognized Zhao Qingyuan who was clinging to the door frame like a gecko scratching a wall.
Yu Xin wanted to get out of the car, but when he saw this, he immediately closed the door and said to Yu Qinghuan, "He's your friend anyway, you should go by yourself."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
How did Zhao Qingyuan get to the point where even Yu Xin despised him!
Yu Qinghuan put on a mask, opened the car door, ran straight to Zhao Qingyuan, and took him into the car neatly.
"You're finally here. I'm freezing to death." Zhao Qingyuan raised his hands to his mouth and blew a breath. He quickly opened the back door of the car. When he saw Wang Ruirui, his eyes lit up immediately and he leaned over. "Our little princess is here too."
"Uncle Qingyuan," Wang Ruirui called sweetly and handed her biscuit to Zhao Qingyuan's mouth.
Zhao Qingyuan was not polite at all. He took her biscuit and chewed it while saying, "Little princess, you should call Qingyuan brother. Look, you call Qinghuan brother."
Wang Ruirui looked at him with a smile, "Yes, uncle."
Zhao Qingyuan turned his face away and said, "Good boy, it's my brother."
Wang Ruirui shook her head, "It's uncle."
Zhao Qingyuan: "Baby, be obedient and call me brother."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
He really couldn't bear to see Zhao Qingyuan continue to act stupidly, so he glanced at him coldly and said sarcastically: "You and Ruirui really can play together."
However, he still overestimated Zhao Qingyuan's intelligence. He didn't even notice the strangeness in his tone, and even asked him back happily, "You can see that too. I am more popular with children!"
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
Wherever Zhao Qingyuan is, it is always very lively. Not only did he share the big bag of snacks with Wang Ruirui, he even played games with her. The two of them were interacting with each other, and there was absolutely no sign of age difference between them.
Yu Qinghuan held his forehead with his hand and looked at Yu Xin in the rearview mirror. They saw the despair in each other's eyes.
"By the way, Qinghuan, I heard that the series of watches you endorsed sold well. Did Ada give you an extra red envelope?" Seeing that Wang Ruirui was tired from playing, Zhao Qingyuan held her and sat her on his lap. While licking the potato chip crumbs on his fingers, he tilted his head and asked Yu Qinghuan.
"Huh?" Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
He has been busy with the "Orange and Yellow" crew these days and has not paid any attention to the Lengleng series of watches.
Are the sales statistics out yet? And it seems pretty good? He really had no idea.
"Fuck," Zhao Qingyuan couldn't help but swear, "That grandson of Evanson is so stingy! The new model of the Leng Dan series of watches was just released this year, and the sales volume has exceeded the total sales volume of the previous quarter. With such an impressive result, he didn't even show any expression?"
Generally speaking, when the sales of the endorsed products are very good, the brand will give certain rewards to the endorsing celebrities in order to strive for longer-term cooperation in the future. Ada is a top brand, so it shouldn't be so petty.
Yu Qinghuan also understood this rule, and after thinking for a while, he said, “I’m going to Ada to take a group photo tomorrow, and I guess Evanson will save the words for then.”
"Probably." Zhao Qingyuan shrugged indifferently. He glanced at the cars passing them outside and couldn't help but say to Yu Qinghuan, "Can you buy a new car? This second-hand Audi..."
After a pause, he euphemistically expressed his dislike, "Isn't it hard to use?"
"I don't drive." Yu Qinghuan lowered his eyes, hiding the expression in his eyes.
Zhao Qingyuan was stunned. Just when he wanted to ask what was going on, he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Yu Xin winking at him desperately. He immediately understood and shut up silently.
Yu Qinghuan's parents died in a car accident, so it's understandable that he has a traumatic experience with cars.
Secretly blaming himself for being too talkative, Zhao Qingyuan pursed his lips uncomfortably. Just as he was about to change the subject, he heard a cheerful cell phone ringtone.
"I'll stop the car and answer the call." Yu Xin saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Fearing that Yu Qinghuan had to work with him on important matters, he drove the car to the side of the road, said a word, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, I'm Tony, the head of Chicly's Asia region. I've met Qing Huan before." The man introduced himself first, and then stated his purpose straight away, "I want to invite Qing Huan to be our brand partner. Do you have any interest in it?"
Compared to his arrogant look last time, his attitude was much more humble now, almost like he was trying to please others.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Tony’s attitude changed so quickly. The last time they met, Yu Qinghuan was still an unknown newcomer.
He was optimistic about Yu Qinghuan's image at the time and wanted to make him the spokesperson for his windbreaker brand. The decision had already been made, but then an airborne soldier was sent over directly, and the matter was shelved.
Although he felt a little regretful, he was not too reluctant. But who would have thought that things would change and a huge explosion would actually make Yu Qinghuan's wish come true!
Not only did the movies he starred in become popular before they were released, but even the watches he endorsed also saw a surge in sales.
Looking at the sales of his own windbreaker, Tony felt extremely regretful. However, the advertisement of the windbreaker had already been released, and it was impossible to bring Yu Qinghuan back. He could only make up for his loss and made this call as quickly as possible.
"In the future, we will definitely give priority to lending our clothes and accessories to Qing Huan. And the cost of this cooperation is not a problem."
Seeing that Yu Xin didn't respond for a long time, Tony added another sentence.
Generally speaking, the so-called partnerships between celebrities and big brands are mutually beneficial. That is, celebrities have the priority right to borrow clothes of this brand, and at the same time, they will help promote the brand when necessary.
But they are not the brand spokespersons, so the brands do not need to pay any additional endorsement fees to the stars. In fact, in this kind of relationship, the stars are often in a low position.
Tony is very sincere in saying this.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xin immediately turned around and looked at Yu Qinghuan.
His phone had been on speakerphone from the beginning, so Yu Qinghuan also heard what Tony said.
Seeing Yu Xin looking at him inquiringly, he shook his head silently.
Yu Xin immediately understood what his artist meant, and smiled slyly with his eyes narrowed. Not only did he politely reject Tony's proposal, he even indirectly mentioned Yu Qinghuan's current popularity.
He said that several big brands were already negotiating with him and that he couldn't take on so many events for the time being, so he asked for his forgiveness.
Tony hung up the phone neatly amidst his regret.
"You told me that you were basically the spokesperson, but you turned around and found someone else. You just gave us a phone call and dismissed us. Are you regretting it now?" Yu Xin snorted coldly, "They wishful thinking!"
Yu Qinghuan responded occasionally at first, but later, seeing that Yu Xin was completely immersed in the pleasure of being slapped in the face and had forgotten what year it was, she had no choice but to remind him, "Brother, you should drive. Ruirui hasn't had dinner yet."
"Oh yeah! How could I forget something important!" Yu Xin slapped his head and was about to start the car when Zhao Qingyuan leaned on the car window, looking outside in amazement and said, "Fuck! What's going on?"
Yu Qinghuan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a man dressed in black standing under a big tree on the side of the road. Next to him was a Maserati with both tires blown out.
"This guy is so unlucky." Zhao Qingyuan sighed: "It's rare for a Maserati to have two tires burst at the same time."
"Maybe he encountered some emergency." Yu Qinghuan responded, his eyes still fixed on the man. Somehow, he always felt that the man's figure was somewhat familiar.
The man was talking on the phone with his back to the road. Perhaps something happened. He put down his phone, rubbed his forehead with a headache, kicked the car, and looked very angry.
Cars were passing by on the roadside, but no one stopped to ask him what was going on.
The temperature has dropped these past few days, reaching minus ten degrees Celsius. It was especially cold today with strong winds. Yu Qinghuan tried to hold it in for a while, but in the end he couldn't help it, and said to Xin: "Brother, I'll go down and take a look first. It's so cold, and it's not a good idea to always stand on the roadside."
Yu Xin was no longer surprised by his own artists' nosy behavior, so upon hearing this, he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
"Do you need help?" Yu Qinghuan walked over and said to the man, "When I parked the car just now, I saw that something was wrong with you."
The man was silent for a moment, then he said, "If possible, please give me a ride." He explained to Yu Qinghuan, "Because the rear wheel was blown out, the chassis is too low and can't be towed directly, so the towing team can't do anything. The weather is too cold, and I can't wait here all the time. I can only leave first and then find a way to solve it."
The extremely familiar voice made Yu Qinghuan dazed for a moment. He paused for a few seconds before responding and leading him to the side of the road.
He never thought that he would meet Qin Zheng, his only friend in his previous life, under such circumstances.
When Yu Qinghuan became famous, Qin Zheng was already a first-line star. Even though he later became one of the top stars in the entertainment industry, his status was still far behind Qin Zheng.
I thought I would never have any contact with him again in this life, but I didn't expect that fate could be so wonderful sometimes.
As soon as Qin Zheng got in the car, Zhao Qingyuan recognized him, "Qin Zheng?"
Qin Zheng's current status is similar to Zhao Qingyuan's. Although the two people have different paths, they are often compared, so they are quite familiar with each other.
"Zhao Qingyuan?" Qin Zheng paused as he took off his mask, as if he had not expected to meet Zhao Qingyuan in this shabby second-hand Audi. However, he had a good psychological quality. He was stunned for just a moment, then nodded and greeted.
There was no room in the back seat, so Zhao Qingyuan held Wang Ruirui and volunteered to move to the passenger seat. But even though he was not sitting in the same row with everyone else, his mouth was not idle. Before Qin Zheng introduced himself, he had already spoken for others.
"Qinghuan, you should know Qin Zheng, the one who always makes the headlines."
Without waiting for Yu Qinghuan to answer, he was about to introduce Yu Qinghuan to Qin Zheng again when he heard Qin Zheng's somewhat strange voice: "Qinghuan, Yu Qinghuan?"
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then said with mixed feelings: "Qin...Brother Zheng, do you know me?"
Qin Zheng smiled and stretched out his right hand to him, "Yes, let me introduce myself. I am the spokesperson for the Ada exquisite series of watches."
After sending Qin Zheng to the place he designated, Zhao Qingyuan sat back next to Yu Qinghuan and said in disbelief, "How could such a coincidence happen? You two are destined to meet each other."
"Yeah," Yu Qinghuan sighed, "Luckily I went down to take a look at that time."
Zhao Qingyuan had no interest in Qin Zheng. After saying one sentence, he quickly forgot about him and turned to enthusiastically discuss today's dinner with Yu Qinghuan.
Just when they were going to eat, Qin Zheng's agent finally picked him up.
"I'll help you change a car tomorrow," Chen Ming frowned and said, "Luckily I met a kind person today, otherwise if the media knew about it, I don't know what to write about it." After a pause, he continued, "Are the people who sent you today okay?"
"Yeah." Thinking of Yu Qinghuan's pair of dark and sparkling eyes, Qin Zheng slightly curled his lips, "No problem."
"That's good." Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and said, "By the way, you still remember Yu Qinghuan, the spokesperson for Ada's cold series, right? But a lucky newcomer actually dared to step on you to get to the top!"
Chen Ming snorted coldly, "Aren't you going to take a photo with him tomorrow? I've already prepared the press release, and I promise to teach him a lesson when the time comes."
The Cold Series is just Ada's low-end watch, so it's normal that its sales are better than the Exquisite Series. But Yu Qinghuan's fans were not tactful and used this to celebrate wildly.
Chen Ming's eyes were gloomy. He really thought that since they didn't react now, they were easy to bully! You can't kill him afterwards!
"Don't touch him." Qin Zheng glanced at Chen Ming coldly and warned.
"Why?" Chen Ming looked at him in astonishment: "Are you just going to watch yourself being stepped on by a little star?"
"What do you mean by stepping on someone?" Qin Zheng's eyes were heavy. "If you are going to care about even such a small matter, then I am afraid that even if I send out dozens of press releases every day, it will not be enough."
After a pause, seeing that Chen Ming still looked unwilling, Qin Zheng tapped the table with his fingers and said in a low voice, "Chen Ming, don't try to contradict me."
Chen Ming's body stiffened, then he lowered his head respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
The next day, after asking Yu Xin to take care of Wang Ruirui at home, Yu Qinghuan took Zhao Qingyuan's ride to Ada. As soon as she entered the studio, she met Qin Zheng.
"Brother Zheng," Yu Qinghuan stopped and called respectfully.
"Don't be so polite, just treat me as a friend." Qin Zheng sat on the sofa by the door, looked up at Yu Qinghuan gently.
His face was deep and handsome. He was wearing a black suit and his long legs were crossed, making him look particularly elegant.
Yu Qinghuan smiled and nodded.
Because they had worked together many times in their previous life and they were friends, Yu Qinghuan was very familiar with Qin Zheng's style and knew how to cooperate with him. Even the photographer was amazed at the tacit understanding between the two.
The photo shoot went exceptionally smoothly, with almost no unsatisfactory photos.
It was noon when they finished. Qin Zheng looked at his watch and said to Yu Qinghuan, "Let's have lunch together. There should be opportunities for cooperation in the future. It's always good to get to know each other better."
Yu Qinghuan was about to nod when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Qinghuan!" He turned around in surprise and saw Huo Qu looking at him with a cold face.
Next to him, Huo Rong stood there helplessly. When he saw him looking at him, he shrugged at him innocently.
"Why are you here?" Yu Qinghuan walked over and asked.
Huo Qu did not answer him. His facial lines were tense, his handsome brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Zheng with a murderous look in his eyes.
Somehow, when Huo Qu saw Yu Qinghuan and Qin Zheng together, he instinctively sensed a crisis. This crisis was not due to envy of Yu Xin and Yu Qinghuan's familiarity, nor was it due to jealousy of Zhao Qingyuan's closeness to him, but another kind of threat that was fatal enough to make him extremely alert in an instant.
It was like a small animal encountering an enemy. While on alert, a raging fighting spirit was burning in his body.
He took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Qinghuan, making sure Qin Zheng couldn't see even a strand of his hair. Then he turned around and asked in a cold voice, "Qinghuan, who is he?"
