114. Go home and sign the contract
At Chi Yi's call, Guan Miao and An Jing hurried back to Guan's house, only to see a row of people standing in their spacious living room. Although his parents were sitting in the main seats, their faces showed tension and awkwardness that they could not hide.
The others were remarkably calm, as if this place was their home. "Is this Guan Miao? He's so young."
"He is so young yet has such a high level of awareness. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
Words like these kept popping up one after another. Guan Miao listened to them without any emotion, and even felt a little annoyed.
It's really annoying to hear the same thing too much.
Chi Yi, who appeared out of nowhere, saw the hidden annoyance in her eyes and immediately changed the subject, "Miao Miao must have been exhausted after coming back from the company, so let's get straight to the point, gentlemen."
"What Xiaochi said makes sense."
Seeing that they were about to get down to business, Guan Yu took Guan's mother's hand, stood up, and left. "Everyone, take your time. My wife and I will prepare some tea for everyone."
"Excuse me, Xiaoguan."
Before leaving, Guan's parents took a deep look at Miaomiao, who was surrounded by the crowd. After closing the door, Guan Yu patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. So many things have happened in the past three years, and Miaomiao has handled it very well. She has grown up completely.
Let’s first think about what to make for her tonight, as she finally got home.”
After the door closed, an elderly man in a gray jacket stood up. He smiled but spoke calmly, "Guan Miao? You can call me Uncle Xing. I heard Xiaobo mention you before. He said you were a very calm kid, and now it seems to be true."
Guan Miao noticed that everyone in the audience had fallen silent since the old man started speaking. It seemed that this person was the most powerful person present.
Xiaobo, Xiaobo, a name that sounds familiar.
An Jing, who was beside her, immediately said, "You've met someone from the Medical Insurance Bureau before. His name is Shang Xiaobo."
After her reminder, Guan Miao immediately understood the other party's identity, "Hello, Mr. Xin."
After a brief introduction, Mr. Xin stated the purpose of this trip.
"We've developed a simplified version of the sleep-inducing aromatherapy you sent us earlier. After various research and investigations, we've confirmed that it's 70% as effective as the original. Therefore, we plan to launch a trial run before the end of the year."
The young girl next to him immediately handed Guan Miao the gift box she had prepared behind her. "Miao Miao, these are all the flavors we've developed this time. You can try them if you have time."
"Thanks."
After she accepted it immediately, the girl spoke again, "We came here this time hoping that you can sign this document, the one that Mr. Xu signed with you before.
It's just an endorsement contract. If you're worried, you can ask Sister Chi Yi to take a look."
"Endorsement?" Guan Miao's hand, which was about to sign, immediately stopped and looked at them in confusion.
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, the previous remover could not be shown to the public for various reasons, so we only signed a contract with you regarding the intellectual property rights.
But this fragrance is different, we can guarantee that you will be its permanent and only spokesperson." This can be considered as a small compensation they can offer internally.
Taking the second document, Guan Miao flipped through two pages before putting it away. "As for endorsements, I can't make the decision for now. I need to discuss it carefully with my management team before making a decision."
"Of course." The girl expressed her understanding that Guan Miao now has to consider the interests of the studio members in addition to his own.
Although the endorsement deal was not reached, Guan Miao signed the other contract without hesitation.
Money, that's a lot of money! Although I haven't started selling it yet, the intellectual property fees have already reached tens of millions, so there are more things I can do.
After signing the contract, Guan Miao put it away with satisfaction. Now all he had to do was wait for the money to arrive.
Before leaving, the girl took the initiative to add her on WeChat and said, "Sister Guan Miao, you can contact me if you have any questions in this regard in the future."
She was lively and Guan Miao had a good impression of her so he agreed. "By the way, I've been talking for so long but I still don't know your name."
"My name is Lucky, I look forward to seeing you next time."
"Lucky?"
Xing, could she be the daughter of that Uncle Xing? But she looks too young, doesn't she?
After sending the big guys away, Guan Miao took Chi Yi's hand and asked in a low voice: "Could that Lucky girl just now be Uncle Xing's daughter?"
Chi nodded and said, "Yes, Lucky is Mr. Xing's second daughter. She has an older brother. It is said that Mrs. Xing always wanted a daughter, but after giving birth to the first child, she found out it was a son.
Mrs. Xing continued to try, and after an unexpected miscarriage, she discovered it was also a boy. It was not until her third pregnancy that she gave birth to Lucky safely.
Guan Miao was amazed when he heard this. "Her birth was really difficult, but she looks very young..."
Before she finished her words, Chi Yi had already understood her thoughts, "You're overthinking it. She's 27 years old and graduated from graduate school five years ago."
"Huh? 27. Five years ago, she graduated from graduate school at 22. Could it be that she's a genius?"
Chi nodded. "She's a super academic genius. Her brother is also a top student. He's currently building a satellite and is said to be a high-level confidentiality expert. Madam Xing is also not an ordinary person. I heard that when she studied in Country M, she completed all the credits in two years and skipped to become a graduate student."
"A whole family of academic geniuses," Guan Miao was amazed. "Compared to them, I should just be considered an ordinary person with a little bit of intelligence, right?"
"No need to compare yourself with others, you're doing very well the way you are now," Chi said, putting his arm around her shoulders and walking inside. "Let's not talk about that. Aunt Guan cooked a lot of delicious dishes today, so I'm going to stay and have a good meal."
Just as Chi Yi said, most of the dishes on the dinner table that night were Guan Miao's favorites, but there were also a few dishes that the two guests, Chi Yi and An Jing, liked.
After the meal, Guan's parents completely let go of the worries they had been holding on to. They looked at each other and saw relief in their eyes.
It seems that Miaomiao has really recovered. The news on the Internet before scared them.
After dinner, it started to drizzle outside the window. Guan Miao, who had originally wanted to go out for a walk to digest his food, could finally take a break and read the skit script in the study.
"Miaomiao."
"What's wrong?"
Chi Yi frowned as he looked at the message on his phone. "Were you harassed by the D family before?"
"Hmm?" Guan Miao raised his head after hearing her ask, "Why do you say that?"
"Look for yourself." She handed the phone to Guan Miao.
Guan Miao took it and took a look at the "Endorsement Cooperation Brand Reference Table", which detailed the advantages and disadvantages of the major brands that had extended olive branches to her during this period.
"The data is detailed and the arguments are strong. What's the problem?"
"The problem is that none of these are brands under D. I remember that D used to have a good relationship with Deng Ling. The first luxury brands endorsed by her artists were generally from D. So why is it different for you?"
"Maybe Sister Deng Ling thinks my style doesn't match that of Brand D," Guan Miao said, not caring at all. "After all, there are so many luxury brands in the world, I don't have to rely solely on Brand D.
She has been helping me look at other luxury brands these past couple of days, and she seems to be particularly attracted to E-brands.
Guan Miao looked normal, but Chi Yi always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He decided to wait until tonight to interrogate Deng Ling.
But he still said, "Since you don't have any feelings towards D, then it's okay not to cooperate. It's not like we don't have big brands in our own country."
