Chapter 115: Summoning the Spirits
The day after Li Mu claimed the tie clip, LIMU officially issued a statement, announcing that LIMU's new four seasons series of men's jewelry would sign a spokesperson contract with Jiang Wu.
Although it is just a series of products under LIMU, and the status is not as big as the brand spokesperson, who knows if this is an official assessment of Jiang Wu by LIMU? This statement really gave the entertainment industry a small shock.
This wave of unexpected good news made Jiang Wu’s fans collectively excited, but more people were pessimistic about LIMU’s decision.
The fashion circle first considers whether the spokesperson's style matches the brand concept when selecting a spokesperson, and secondly, the purchasing power of the spokesperson's fans. Although Jiang Wu has a good-looking face and noble temperament, he does not have many fans and his purchasing power is not good. Industry insiders analyzed that LIMU played the wrong card this time.
Han Zhong also saw these comments and understood the same truth, but he did not think that Jiang Wu was incapable, but just had no chance. He had planned to have Jiang Wu sign up with Zhou Changming's Galaxy Entertainment before, and took this opportunity to mention it to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu agreed. It was not because he thought Xinghe was better, but he felt that it was too hard for Zhang Xiaoyu to be both an agent and an assistant, and the salary was not high. If Xinghe could arrange an agent for him, Zhang Xiaoyu would feel much more relaxed.
After saying this, Han Zhong still did not hang up the phone, but tactfully asked Jiang Wu whether he would be willing to attend Han Yun's birthday party next month.
Jiang Wu agreed. He also wanted to see with his own eyes what the place where Han Zhong lived in this life was like, and to thank Ms. Li Mu by the way.
Han Zhong seemed extremely happy about his reply. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Wuneng could hear the joy in his tone. He thought that Han Zhong seemed to like his father very much. He was so happy to attend a birthday party. Fortunately, he didn't do anything at that time.
After Han Zhong hung up the phone, he called Zhou Changming to talk about the contract. Zhou Changming naturally agreed. He wanted to sign Jiang Wu from the beginning, but Mingxing would not let him go.
"I read LIMU's statement. What happened? When did you take the cabinet out of your house? Why didn't you tell me so I could go and see you get beaten."
His childhood friend has been someone else's child since he was young. When their parents teach them, they always say "Look at the kid from the Han family". If he hadn't wanted to copy Han Zhong's homework at that time, he would have disliked this kid just like Fang Zhiyi and the others. Now it's a rare opportunity to see Han Zhong getting beaten, and of course he doesn't want to miss it.
"It was an accident."
Han Zhong recounted what happened at the company that day when he was caught by his father. Zhou Changming on the other end of the phone laughed so hard, and then suddenly cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"I laughed too loudly and got kicked by my uncle."
“…”
Han Zhong was speechless, "Why doesn't he go back to live in Zhou's house?"
"Oh, he won't be able to stay in the Zhou family for a day with his temper. Let's not talk about this. Did your parents just agree to it? Didn't they write a check to Jiang Wu and let him leave you?"
"Do you think I can't write a check?"
"That's right... OK, I won't say any more. I'll have someone draft a contract for Jiang Wu as soon as possible and send it to you to take a look at."
“…”
After Zhou Changming hung up the phone, he looked toward the window of his bedroom. Zhou Yannan, wearing light pink pajamas, was sitting there with his head supported by one hand, reading a tattered ancient book in his hand.
"Are they really together?"
"Who?" Zhou Changming responded, "You mean Han Zhong and Jiang Wu? Yes, the Han family seems to have agreed."
Zhou Yannan flipped a page and asked casually, "Did Jiang Wu agree?"
Zhou Changming was speechless. "What you said, could it be possible that Han Zhong could also use the domineering president's forced love?"
"Who knows?"
"You should watch less TV in the future."
“…”
Zhou Yannan was flipping through the book with his chin in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he lowered his fingertips.
This page shows a beautifully carved golden bell the size of a coin, with a small note next to it:
"The bell to attract the gods?"
Zhou Changming's voice suddenly rang out. Zhou Yannan looked over and found Zhou Changming, who had come over at some point, looking at the book in his hand with curiosity. "Is this bell the same one that we heard at Qin's house that day—"
Zhou Yannan lightly lifted the book, closed it, and looked at him calmly, "I'm hungry."
Zhou Changming could tell that he was trying to change the subject. He looked down at the time and said speechlessly, "It's only four o'clock in the afternoon. Have you digested your lunch?"
Zhou Yannan held his chin and said lazily, "Oh, I'm going to abuse the elderly."
Zhou Changming: "...I'll do it now."
"good."
“…”
After Zhou Changming left, Zhou Yannan reopened the old book that contained the most precious treasures of Taoism and looked at the note on the page with the picture of the nine-layered golden bell: The bell for attracting gods has three layers each for heaven, earth, and man, a total of nine layers, which can attract gods and summon souls across the three realms.
Summoning the gods and summoning the souls...
Zhou Yannan looked down at these four words and murmured in a low voice, "Whose soul do you want to call back?"
When Zhou Changming finished cooking, Zhou Yannan was already sitting at the dining table, playing with his mobile phone with his chin in his hand, looking bored. He seemed to be chatting with someone, and he really looked like he had something urgent to do after dinner.
Zhou Changming sat down opposite him, "Is there something urgent?"
"Yeah, I have an appointment."
"Would you like me to drive you?"
"No, just give me the car keys."
“…”
Zhou Changming looked up at him and said, "If I remember correctly, your driver's license has been expired for eight years."
Zhou Yannan replied without even looking up, "I passed the make-up exam."
"The maximum age limit for applying for a C1 driver's license in China is 70 years old, and you, my third uncle, exceeded the age limit last year, so where did you go to take the exam?"
“…”
Zhou Yannan chewed the food slowly and said, "The beef is overcooked."
Zhou Changming picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It was indeed a bit old. "If you go out during this period, call me to take you there first."
"Please find me a driver."
“…”
Zhou Changming was startled and looked at the man opposite him, "How long will you stay this time?"
"I'm not leaving." Zhou Yannan said with his eyes downcast, "If nothing unexpected happens, I shouldn't have to go out again."
Zhou Changming was slightly stunned. He knew that the man in front of him was the biggest secret of the Zhou family in the past hundred years. He also knew that this man had been wandering outside for decades as if he was looking for something.
"Have you found the thing?" he asked.
Zhou Yannan suddenly raised his eyes and stared at him for a while, then asked, "How have you been these past ten years?"
Zhou Changming was a little stunned, "Ah... I'm fine, how about you?"
Zhou Yannan ignored his polite words and continued to ask, "Is your Yuan Yang body broken?"
Zhou Changming: “…”
"If you are determined not to return to the Zhou family, then find an opportunity to break your Yuan Yang body. Otherwise, the Zhou family will not let you go. Then it will not be a matter of whether you are willing or not."
“…It’s broken.”
Zhou Yannan glanced at his lower body casually, "Don't forget what I do. I can tell at a glance whether it's broken or not."
Zhou Changming blushed at his age and said angrily, "Don't we still have you in the Zhou family? Even with you here, it's not my turn."
Zhou Yannan paused, then slowly lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food. "I will die, I won't live forever."
Zhou Changming's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He stared at the man across the table. He looked less than 30 years old, but was actually over 70 years old. He had been accustomed to such strange things since he was a child and took it for granted. He did not consider at all that a normal human can only live up to 100 years. If he exceeded this lifespan limit, what would happen to the man in front of him?
Will I grow old one day and die, or will I die young like this? No matter which one it is, I will die, because I am a mortal. As a mortal, I will grow old, get sick and die, no matter how powerful I am.
