Chapter 66 Scruples
Yu Nian took the chopsticks and looked at the food on the table. The color and aroma looked good. She picked up a piece of spareribs that she liked and put it into her mouth. Yu Nian looked at him in disbelief, "You can actually cook."
It was unexpectedly delicious, even better than what Aunt Liu made.
Ji Yanxing served her a bowl of soup and said, "I haven't made it for a long time."
Yu Nian sipped the soup and looked up at him. He must have had a video conference in the morning because he was wearing a meticulous formal suit, but he cooked for her after the meeting, and the food was delicious.
In her family, although her father was very good to her mother, he never went into the kitchen. He was responsible for working outside, and her mother would cook when she was in a good mood. Yu Nian once thought that this was a good way to get along with her. She looked at the handsome face in front of her and suddenly smiled.
Ji Yanxing raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Nian also served him a bowl of soup and blinked, "Nothing, I just thought you were quite homely."
Yu Nian spent the rest of the day in bed. She felt sore and tired all over, her legs and waist were sore. After dinner, Ji Yanxing carried her back to the room for a nap. After waking up, she lay in his arms and watched a movie. A man who had just started having sex was no different from a wolf. That night, Yu Nian had a good rest, but was tormented by him again. Within one day, she used up the box of safe Tao she bought.
Fortunately, he was compassionate enough to let her go after only doing it twice. Since they started before dark and ended not too late, she fell into a deep sleep due to excessive fatigue and slept until dawn.
On Monday, work started as usual. As soon as Yu Nian arrived at the law firm, he was bombarded with calls from Chen Xi.
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Xi asked her excitedly and shocked: "Baby, what happened between you and your fake husband? He actually gave me the endorsement of the jewelry under the Ji Group. You know, the spokespersons of this jewelry used to be top-tier stars!!!" Yu Nian was a little confused by her coherent words and took two seconds to react, "What?"
"I was still asleep this morning when my agent called me and said that the person in charge of the jewelry brand under the Ji Group contacted him and wanted to sign a contract with me to be their global spokesperson!"
"You don't know that our entertainment industry is very hierarchical. There are many factors to consider when choosing a spokesperson. Traffic alone is not enough. The fans' purchasing power must also be strong," Chen Xi pointed at herself. "For this kind of luxury endorsement, you usually have to find a top-tier celebrity. You actually took the initiative to find me. Can you ask your fake husband for it for me?" After listening to her long words, Yu Nian understood and pondered for a moment. "Will there be any adverse effects on you if you take this endorsement, such as being scolded as a resourceful person?"
"You have to accept it even if you are scolded. Don't you know?" Chen Xi was so excited that he was incoherent. "For this kind of top luxury, even the top stars would fight for it. What's more, this is not an ordinary spokesperson, but a global spokesperson!!!"
"Then answer it." Yu Nian said.
Chen Xi blinked his eyes and asked, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly give me the endorsement?"
"I don't know either," Yu Nian said, "but he has a lot of money, so take it if you like."
"Wow, baby, I love you so much! I'll treat you to a meal next time we meet!"
Chen Xi said a few more sweet words, and then hung up the phone because her agent urged her to put on makeup.
Yu Nian took the phone, thought for a moment, and sent a text message to Ji Yanxing: [You asked someone to endorse Chen Xi]
After a few minutes, the other side replied: [Yes.]
Yu Nian: [Why]
Ji Yanxing: [Isn’t she your good friend?]
Yu Nian was stunned. Chen Xi was her friend, so he was her spokesperson.
About half a minute later, Ji Yanxing sent another message: [I don’t know what happened last time, and it won’t happen again.]
Yu Nian immediately understood that he was talking about Meng Ziyun snatching the script from Chen Xi, and this endorsement was compensation to Chen Xi.
Feeling a little strange, she replied: [Oh.]
Here, Ji Yanxing looked at her and said "Oh" dryly, with the corner of his mouth slightly curled. Just as he put down the phone, Li Ming knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Ji, Miss Meng is outside the door and wants to see you."
Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Let her in."
Meng Ziyun received news yesterday that all endorsement cooperation between Ji and her was cancelled, and the penalty for breach of contract would be paid separately.
She waited for a whole day, waiting for Ji Yanxing to give her a reason, but not only did he not call her, he didn't even send her a text message.
Walking into the office, she looked at the man sitting in the office chair, glanced at Li Ming standing beside him, and curled her lips, "Yanxing, can I talk to you alone?"
Ji Yanxing took the document that Li Ming handed to him without even looking up, "Li Ming has been with me for several years. If you have anything to say, don't worry about him."
Meng Ziyun was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips in self-mockery, lamenting his sense of propriety and distance.
Meng Ziyun came from an ordinary family, without a strong background. Her dream when she was young was just to get into a good university and find a decent and well-paid job. Unexpectedly, because of an accident, she came into contact with people she would never meet in her life. Ji Yanxing treated her very well and brought her into his circle. Although everyone knew that she was not a rich lady, everyone treated her gently for his sake, and treated her no worse than Lu Qinian. After she was sure that she had a talent for music,
He helped her enter the best music school, helped her release albums, and provided her with popularity, resources and traffic, allowing her to become the most popular singer in the industry at the age of 26.
How could she not adore him?
She knew that he didn't like her, so in order not to annoy him, she retreated to the boundary of friendship. She had done very well over the years and stayed by his side as a friend, but why did he suddenly want to draw a line between them? Was he unwilling to be friends with her just because of Yu Nian?
In such a short time, has he fallen in love with Yu Nian?
For Yu Nian, he even stopped being friends with her?
Meng Ziyun bit his lower lip and looked at him straight, "Okay, I'll tell you straight out, why did you cancel my cooperation with Ji's?"
Ji Yanxing raised his eyelids and looked at her quietly, his eyes dull and indifferent.
Meng Ziyun choked, realizing the questioning tone in his words, and changed his words: "I have a long-term cooperation with Ji's. If I withdraw suddenly, people may talk about it."
Ji Yanxing put down his pen, leaned back in his chair and looked at her, "So I paid you enough liquidated damages and compensation. I helped you for seven years, and you should learn to walk independently."
Meng Ziyun looked at him in disbelief: "You mean you want to draw a line between you and me?"
"No," Ji Yanxing said in a calm and clear tone, "I owe her a favor and promised her that I would take care of you. I will keep my promise. If you need anything, you can contact my assistant."
Meng Ziyun's face turned pale. There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Meng Ziyun understood the subtext of the sentence. To put it bluntly, unless it involves life and death, don't come to me.
