Chapter 157 Li Mu
The place where Zhang Xiaoyu made the appointment was not far from Ziyuan, a private restaurant with a secluded location but a spacious courtyard. It was a typical Chinese courtyard style. There was a landscape garden right at the entrance, and rain-proof corridors on both sides of the garden with a gravel path in the middle.
Jiang Wu followed the waiter across the gravel road and entered a room, which was also decorated in an antique style. The room was connected to a partition with a screen in the middle. A short-haired young woman in fashionable and simple clothes came up to him with a smile and stretched out her hand to him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. I'm Jia Yun, the deputy director of the design department of LIMU. Nice to meet you."
"Hello."
Jiang Wu's previous endorsements were basically handled by Zhang Xiaoyu. This was his first time talking about endorsements. He didn't know what to do, so he asked directly, "Are we signing the contract today?"
Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Although the Four Seasons series is only a sub-brand of LIMU, the company also attaches great importance to it. We can discuss the details first to avoid disputes when signing the contract. What do you think?"
Jiang Wu had no objection, "Okay."
The two of them sat down at the long table in the room. Jia Yun poured him some tea while explaining with a smile, "This private restaurant has a nice environment, very quiet. Mr. Li often meets with clients here."
Jiang Wu nodded casually, wondering what the environment had to do with eating. He had eaten on tombs and in the palace in his past, so there was no difference.
"Isn't Mr. Jiang's assistant here?" It was the first time that Jia Yun saw someone come alone to discuss endorsements.
"Well, he's busy, and I'm more free."
“…”
Jia Yun smiled and said, "I remember you were filming a drama recently, weren't you?"
"I have something to do. Please excuse me."
"That seems to be a very important matter."
Jiang Wu raised his eyes and glanced at her. Jia Yun was inexplicably shocked by this clear look. On the one hand, he felt a little scared, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but sigh that this face and temperament were indeed good, even in the entertainment industry, they were outstanding...
"Because the spokesperson is the image of the brand, we must ensure that there are no problems with the spokesperson. Do you understand?"
"not understand."
"...Okay, let me be frank. Mr. Jiang is an idol star. In addition to the most basic compliance with the law, the bottom line in his private life is also LIMU's requirement for spokespersons."
Jia Yun crossed his arms and asked with a smile, "In short, Mr. Jiang must ensure that his private life is not exposed, that he has no romantic relationship, or that his romantic relationship is not exposed, or that he can ensure that he will not lose fans after his romantic relationship is exposed, which will affect his brand image."
Jiang Wu had already been informed of these things, so he replied, "Private life can be guaranteed."
As for the legal aspect, he has not killed anyone since his rebirth, and illegal break-ins and thefts are not counted as his doing as long as he is not caught, which can be guaranteed.
Jia Yun reminded him, "Undercover romance and homosexual love can lead to the collapse of the house."
Jiang Wu still shook his head, "No."
Jia Yun subconsciously glanced at the screen behind him. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard Jiang Wu, who was drinking tea opposite him, ask, "Any other questions?"
"What do you think of the LIMU brand——"
"I ask the man behind the screen."
Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to explain, the person behind the screen came out. She was a tall and thin middle-aged woman, about forty years old, with clear facial features and a smile on her lips. Her long hair was braided into a pigtail and draped over her chest. She was wearing a simple ultramarine cashmere skirt and a pair of emerald earrings on her ears. She was elegant and intellectual, which made people feel comfortable when they saw her.
Jiang Wu stared at the woman in front of him for a long time without blinking. He recognized her as Han Zhong's mother, Ms. Li Mu. He had searched for her photo on the Internet before. She looked almost the same as in the photo, with only one difference.
"What? Are you scared?"
The woman walked towards him slowly, and Jia Yun consciously made room for her. Face to face at a close distance, the difference between this face and the one in the photos on the Internet was clearly revealed.
On this pretty and dignified face, the entire left side is occupied by a light brown scar the size of a palm. Although it has faded a lot due to the long time, it has also destroyed the beauty of this face. Most people can't help but feel surprised and regretful when they see it.
However, Jiang Wu was one of the minority. Looking at the woman in front of him, he recalled Yan Zhong's mother who hanged herself in the cold palace in his previous life. He began to wonder if Han Zhong looked exactly the same now as he did in his previous life, did it mean that his mother who hanged herself in his previous life looked exactly like Li Mu now?
But come to think of it, Han Zhong's lip shape and eye shape are indeed very similar to the woman in front of him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Mu's smile faded a little, and she got straight to the point, "I'm Li Mu, the founder of LIMU, and Han Zhong's mother."
"I know."
"Then do you know why I came to see you today?"
"You're just hiding behind the screen."
“…”
Li Mu's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "The Four Seasons series endorsement was given to you naturally. In order to dispel the rumors, I agreed because Han Zhong said that you two were together."
Jiang Wu: “…”
He suddenly wondered how many people Han Zhong had told that they were a couple.
"Although you called my husband in the middle of the night and scolded him for no apparent reason, Han Zhong said that you are a good child and that you didn't do it on purpose. I believe him. He is not a child who tells lies to protect his own faults. But what I just heard seems to be different."
Li Mu raised his narrow eyebrows, and a hint of sharpness appeared on his gentle face. "You said you don't have a partner, so what does Han Zhong mean?"
Although her tone was gentle, it was faintly oppressive, but Jiang Wu felt a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with you?"
Li Mu's peaceful face froze, thinking he had misheard, "...what did you say?"
"I said what does this have to do with you."
“…”
Li Mu said in surprise, "I am Han Zhong's mother."
Jiang Wu replied, "I said I know, you don't need to repeat it."
The room was silent for a few seconds. Li Mu stared at the young man in front of him and realized that he was talking nonsense in front of him. He suddenly laughed and said, "Does Han Zhong know that you have this kind of personality?"
"He knows."
Jiang Wu didn't know what kind of person he was in Han Zhong's eyes, but he had always been like this. Han Zhong was not blind or stupid, so he should know what kind of person he was.
However, in Li Mu's view, the person in front of her was telling her that even though he had such a bad personality, Han Zhong still liked him, and even he, as a mother, could not stop it.
She said with a half-smile, "Han Zhong likes you, I can't do anything about it, but I am the one who makes the decision about LIMU. The endorsement contract hasn't been signed yet, I can change people at any time."
Jiang Wumian said calmly, "Okay, it's up to you."
Li Mu: “…”
She suddenly remembered the scene where her husband Han Yun repeatedly reminded her to bring antihypertensive medicine when she was about to go out today. Now she understood her husband's intentions.
"Since this is the case, there is nothing more to talk about. Goodbye, Mr. Jiang." She stood up and walked out, saying, "Besides, I will tell Han Zhong everything we talked about today without missing a word."
"Wait." Jiang Wu looked over in confusion and reminded, "It's my turn to ask you."
Li Mu: “…”
