Foolishly Flirting with the White Moonlight Leads to Being Marked - Chapter 25.2
Now…
Good heavens.
Yan Qingqiu looked at the room full of paintings, shocked. “Are you this productive?”
“Being productive doesn’t necessarily mean being satisfied. A painter will keep painting; it just depends on whether she herself likes it, and whether it can achieve artistic resonance. If she doesn’t like it, then even if she paints it, it’s painting for nothing. It has no value.”
“Oh…” Yan Qingqiu thought, I’m starting to not understand again.
But she really liked these paintings.
“Are you really giving them all to me?” Yan Qingqiu asked in disbelief.
Song Qingre nodded. “They’re all yours.”
Yan Qingqiu was moved. She thought, Song Qingre was actually a pretty good person. She understood Yan Qingqiu’s personality very well. Without waiting for Yan Qingqiu to say she wanted all of them, she directly gave them to her.
Song Qingre said, “I can sign them. You can make them into a limited edition, only sell them once, and never restock them again. Hunger marketing.”
“All right, all right, all right, all right!”
For the whole day, Yan Qingqiu looked at the paintings. Even when eating, she wolfed down her food. Seeing this, the butler kept sighing, feeling that Miss should not be so worried.
Song Qingre, on the other hand, was not particularly worried. She contacted the studio’s legal department and had them make two contracts. At night, she brought them to Yan Qingqiu. “Look them over. Tomorrow, take this one to Uncle’s company. And this one is between you and me.”
Yan Qingqiu did not sign directly. She first looked through them herself, then found a law firm online and spent some money, confirming several times that there were no problems before signing and giving them back to Song Qingre.
The next day, Song Qingre took her to the bank, then drove her to the Yan Corporation building.
“You come with me,” Yan Qingqiu said.
Song Qingre looked at her in confusion.
Yan Qingqiu sat in the backseat and pinched the check for a while. Then she gave the check in her hand to Song Qingre too. She was too embarrassed to say that she did not dare hold this much money. She was scared. If she lost it, she would never be able to pay it back in this life.
She also wanted to rub against the female lead’s halo.
“All right.” Song Qingre helped her hold the money.
The two of them went to find Yan Fu. Yan Fu had just finished a meeting and came out, with a group of executives following him. Yan Fu’s face was haggard. Seeing them, he immediately forced himself to perk up and asked, “Why are you here?”
Song Qingre gave the check to Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu squeezed it and looked toward Yan Fu. She gathered her courage and said, “This is a check for one hundred million. Give me one hundred million worth of goods. If I run away with the goods, this one hundred million is all yours. Is that okay?”
Yan Fu was stunned and hurriedly asked his daughter, “Where did you get this much money?”
Yan Qingqiu said, “I borrowed it. I borrowed a little from Xingxing, and Song Qingre also lent me a little. Together, it makes one hundred million.” The fingers holding the money were trembling. Damn it, she swore she had never held this much money in her life.
“Dad, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Afterward, I’ll sell the goods through livestreaming. Whatever I sell is all yours. Open an account for me. This one hundred million will be the deposit. Is that okay?”
Yan Fu held the check for a long time without speaking. His heart was warm. He knew his daughter wanted to help him.
Song Qingre helped speak for her. “Trust her once. She prepared for a long time, and she’s serious. I can act as guarantor.”
Yan Fu turned to look at the other executives. Those executives looked at the check in his hand. With this one hundred million, they could immediately solve their urgent problem.
One executive said, “What if, after two days, you want to withdraw the money and leave? If we use this money by then and you ask us for it back, we won’t have the money to return to you either.”
Yan Qingqiu took out another contract and handed it over. “This. If I ask you for the money back, within three days, I must pay you breach-of-contract damages.”
Several executives gathered around to read it. The contract was full of sincerity. Everyone looked at Yan Qingqiu suspiciously. Had she really changed her nature, or was she just curious and wanted to play around?
Yan Qingqiu knew she had succeeded halfway. She straightened her back and stood in the corridor, light falling on her shoulders. She looked very confident.
Yan Fu made the decision. “Go notify the OEM factory below. Make the packaging according to Miss’s instructions. Put this packaging on the official flagship store for presale. We’ll hold another meeting later.”
Yan Qingqiu let out a breath.
Yan Fu had some things he wanted to say, such as telling Qiuqiu not to disappoint Dad, but when the words reached his mouth, he still did not give her that pressure.
Yan Qingqiu knew he was busy with work and said, “Then I’ll go, Dad.”
“Mm. Be careful on the road.”
Yan Qingqiu pinched her fingers until they turned red. Song Qingre went to press the elevator. The two went down together. Yan Qingqiu’s hands were now empty, and the fear suddenly surged up. Facing the autumn sky, she felt like someone waking from a dream.
Heavens, how had she dared?
One hundred million. Heavens, one hundred million.
Yan Qingqiu did not even dare look at Song Qingre. What if Song Qingre harmed her? Then she shook her head again. No, she would not. The contract stated that if she did not run away with the goods, the money would still be returned to her afterward.
Before, Yan Qingqiu had been relying entirely on a burst of courage. Now that the courage had passed, she was terrified. She turned her head to look. Through the blue glass, she could not see the people inside, but she could still feel Yan Fu standing by the window watching her.
It felt strange.
Yan Qingqiu thought, Is this what having a home feels like?
Even if she walked down the wrong path, Dad would still protect her.
She waved toward Yan Fu. “Dad, go inside.”
Behind the glass, Yan Fu nodded at her.
When she got back into the car, Yan Qingqiu sat in the passenger seat. Song Qingre turned her head to look at her and asked, “Scared now?”
Even Yan Qingqiu’s fingers trembled as she fastened her seatbelt. She smiled. “How could that be? A person must seize opportunities. Opportunities wait for no one. Chances are always left for those who are prepared.”
Song Qingre narrowed her eyes slightly and said seriously, “I didn’t understand.”
Yan Qingqiu laughed. You also have times when you don’t understand.
What a coincidence. I didn’t understand what I was saying either.
She looked at the scenery outside and thought of something she had always wanted to ask but always forgot. She said, “Song Qingre, your brain is so amazing. Why didn’t you go into business? With such a flexible mind, you should be able to earn a lot of money.”
Song Qingre looked at the road ahead. When they passed a red light and the car stopped, she finally said, “Because of one sentence.”
“What sentence?”
Song Qingre did not answer. The red light passed, and the car drove forward. Yan Qingqiu did not dare ask further, afraid that it was related to her, and if she did not know, she would expose herself.
She casually muttered, “Forget it. Working really is exhausting. Running around these past few days has made my waist and back ache. It’s better for you to be an artist. When you want to paint, you paint. When you don’t want to paint, you lie around like a salted fish.”
Song Qingre only hummed.
··
After that, Yan Qingqiu ran to several more places, personally watching the packaging samples from the OEM factory, and occasionally watching how other livestreamers sold goods.
She did not let Song Qingre keep running around with her anymore. After all, Song Qingre also had to work.
A woman pursuing her career had to be able to stand alone.
When she got busy, time flew by. Regarding the livestream sales, Yan Qingqiu also told Su Xingjie, omitting the contract and borrowing money. She had not borrowed from Su Xingjie for a reason. ER’s self-cleaning had cost Su Xingjie quite a lot of money. If she asked her again, Su Xingjie would also be in danger.
If Yan Qingqiu got out while Su Xingjie fell in, that would not be worth it.
Yan Qingqiu did not stand on ceremony. Wherever she needed Su Xingjie’s help, she directly asked her. When she woke up in the morning, she sent Su Xingjie a voice message.
“Xingxing, lend me a few models to help my family sell goods and do a livestream.”
“Sure.” Su Xingjie agreed very generously and immediately called Qiangwei over, deciding to personally choose a few good ones for her. She said, “Wait. I’ll send you pictures later.”
After that model had caused trouble last time, the models around Su Xingjie had undergone a major purge. Most of those remaining were quite young, newly debuted, tender-looking, small-looking models.
Su Xingjie first found ten groups and sent them over, asking in a voice message, “How are they? Their skin is very good, very suitable for your products.”
“Mm… not bad.” Yan Qingqiu felt that if they were too young, she could not bring herself to do it. She said, “Age twenty and above. Those below that, forget it.”
Su Xingjie directly removed half of them, then added a few more and asked again, “How about these?”
Yan Qingqiu looked through them one by one, her fingers propping up her chin, sliding back and forth through the photos. Her golden hair fell down, so she brushed it behind her ear and said softly, “Pretty good. Don’t make the models’ styles too uniform. It’s just… best to have all kinds of styles. Mm, since each one works, then I want all of them. It’s best to gather eighteen.”
“Okay.” Su Xingjie adjusted them again. This time, there were dark-skinned and fair-skinned ones, passionate and fiery ones, gentle and restrained ones. The eighteen models all had completely different personalities.
Yan Qingqiu replied: [ok]
[I’ll go to your company this afternoon to pick them up.]
When Yan Qingqiu went to ER again, she felt a little embarrassed. Last time, she had made a scene here. Yan Qingqiu bought a mask and wore it, but the effect was not very good. Her head of golden hair was practically saying: “Hello, I, Yan Qingqiu, am here again.”
Along the way upstairs, quite a few people came over to watch her. Su Xingjie had called the models over early. The eighteen models stood in a row. Su Xingjie was currently guiding them, telling them to perform properly when they went to livestream and not embarrass her.
After Su Xingjie finished speaking, Yan Qingqiu folded her arms and also seriously looked at the models. “You’re all pretty hard-working and able to endure hardship, right?”
The models did not understand what she meant, and their nods were not uniform either.
Su Xingjie said, “I specially chose them. Their eloquence is also good.”
“Eloquence and such isn’t important.” Yan Qingqiu stood there and looked. Su Xingjie gave her a chair. Yan Qingqiu sat down. These models all had excellent figures, each with a high-class world-weary face. Yan Qingqiu could not quite hold back and asked Su Xingjie, “Mm, that is… can they light cigarettes and pour wine for me?”
Su Xingjie clapped her hands. She took a cigar, skillfully used a cigar cutter to cut off a bit from the front, and handed it to Yan Qingqiu. The models all bent over to light it for her. Yan Qingqiu was surrounded by models with sexy figures. Several lighters flared, the firelight burning hot against her cheeks.
It was as if she were surrounded by wolves, and also as if she had grasped the reins to tame those wolves.
“What do you think?” Su Xingjie asked.
“Very good.” Yan Qingqiu returned the cigar to her.
The models had waists as waists and hips as hips. Their figures were excellent, and each one was beautiful.
Yan Qingqiu had only seen models in videos before. Every time, she felt models were cool and dashing. She thought, if not for serious business, I’d want to go up and pinch them, pat their butts.
“Then Xingxing, let’s do a contract. I’ll pay you.”
“What money?” Su Xingjie frowned. “Aren’t you being too distant?”
“Mainly, I might not only borrow them for one day. If it takes too long, it’ll delay your matters.” Yan Qingqiu was also embarrassed and said directly, “I have quite a lot of goods. If they don’t sell out, I might need to borrow them for several days.”
There definitely had to be a contract for livestream sales. If something happened one day, they could also use the contract to settle things. It was not that she did not trust Su Xingjie; she was afraid Su Xingjie’s models would cause trouble.
Su Xingjie agreed with her caution, but she absolutely would not take money. She said, “How about this? Why don’t you help me shoot another set of promotional photos? I’ll lend you the models. Let’s just treat it as mutually borrowing each other’s team. How about that?”
“That works. That’s good.” Yan Qingqiu would not feel burdened either.
Su Xingjie called someone to prepare the shooting venue. “I’ll pair you with one or two more models. You can also use them for promotion. Qiangwei, go call Jasmine over.”
Yan Qingqiu spent the whole afternoon taking photos at ER. When she left, she carried away a pile of clothes. Only when she reached downstairs did she react. Did I earn something again?
After everything was settled, Yan Qingqiu was finally going to start the livestream. Yan Corporation had a livestream account. Yan Qingqiu did not plan to sell properly and intended to rub against some popularity. She had her own livestream idea and had not told anyone else yet.
Half a month had passed, and netizens were still eagerly talking about those old, rotten sesame seed matters between her and Fu Ye.
Yan Qingqiu simply opened every livestream platform she could in one breath. The livestream location was provided by Yan Corporation. Yan Fu specially arranged a cute and pretty environment for her, while he himself sat outside the camera and watched.
Yan Fu was unbearably nervous. His secretary handed him tissues several times, and he wiped the sweat from his palms. In the middle, he also received a call from the butler, who said he wanted to come to the scene and watch.
Yan Fu said, “What is there to worry about? What are you afraid of?”
After hanging up, he said to the people beside him, “This is her first time working… first time working. She’s never worked before.”
Secretary: “Understood. The staff have already been notified to record it. Please don’t be nervous.”
Yan Qingqiu sat on the chair and typed word by word. She set the title. All eighteen models leaned close to her and stared at the screen.
Title:
#Click to Watch: The Whole Story of How I, Yan Qingqiu, Knocked the Dog Head Crooked and Forcefully Kissed the White Moonlight#
Yan Qingqiu had already edited the cover image. It was a pretty photo of her and a dog. Right now, what the internet was discussing most fiercely was the matters between her and Fu Ye. Marketing accounts were all following along to ride the heat. She might as well go all the way. She would ride it too.
The livestream room’s popularity climbed rapidly, instantly occupying the trending list.
In just one minute, one million people had already entered.
[Hurry up, tell us how you’re going to keep licking Fu Ye after this.]
Netizens clicked in one after another. Across the internet, the melon-eating crowd accumulated to sixty million, almost catching up to the hottest major streamers. Even major streamers ran over to join the fun and sent rockets.
[Are you going to break with Yan Corporation? Hurry up and speak. This lord’s patience is limited!]
Yan Qingqiu looked at the number of people in the lower right corner and said unhurriedly, “Wait a little. I’ll talk in three minutes. This story is a long one. I have to wait for my assistant to finish writing the script. What’s the rush?”
“Haste makes waste. I’ll moisturize first.”
Then she took Yan Corporation’s moisturizer, wiped her face, rubbed her face, then took lip balm and used the camera as a mirror to apply it to her lips. Her skin was tender and watery, and her lips were moist and damp.
No one could withstand it.
[I haven’t heard the story yet, but I already want to spend money on the products.]
[Hold steady. Don’t fall for the capitalist’s tricks.]
[Anyway, if the cover doesn’t match the real content today, I’m blacklisting the Yan family completely.]
Yan Qingqiu was not idle either. She had the eighteen models display the products. They were designed with pictures drawn by Artist Song Qingre. She also had the models apply some to their faces, rubbing until they looked watery, refreshed, and moist. It was practically seductive edging brought to life.
Because the livestream room could not have them dressed too revealingly, they all wore tank tops and shorts. Yan Qingqiu then had someone bring essential oil and apply it to their skin.
The people who had clicked into the livestream wanting to eat melon were burning with impatience: What are you doing? So sexy. Suddenly I want to buy some lotion and moisturizer.
Three minutes were almost up. Su Xingjie hurriedly ended her meeting and had each department take position, frantically operating to help Yan Corporation spread ads, buying marketing accounts to wildly hype things up. In short, Yan Qingqiu kicked Fu Ye away! She had stood up. If you don’t believe it, go watch her livestream!
Song Qingre’s painting hand stopped. A phone stand had been added to her easel. Everyone in the household was squeezed together to watch, ready to help boost numbers and grab orders at any time.
The butler breathed nervously. Miss’s first livestream—he had to support her!
The Fu Corporation’s people also opened accounts one after another and watched the livestream room. As long as she dared talk nonsense, they would immediately ask the platform to ban her account and make her unable to move an inch.
It was said that the president himself had also made an account and blended into the livestream room early. Fu Ye had indeed entered. He very much wanted to know what those years counted as in Yan Qingqiu’s heart. If she had him in her heart and still lingered, he would definitely rush to Yan Corporation with a diamond ring, ignoring anyone’s obstruction, and propose to Yan Qingqiu.
In the livestream room, Yan Qingqiu quietly handled things. From time to time, she would press her lips together and pat her moist cheeks.
Her eyes were watery and bright, like a quiet, secluded pool, clear enough to see the bottom.
Her friend had said she was beautiful like an oil painting, every brushstroke using all its color. At this moment, beneath the light, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Strands of hair fell beside her ear, and clean, slender fingers gently hooked them up.
Three minutes were up. Inside and outside the circle, all sorts of wealthy young masters and young ladies, supporting male and female characters, also flooded into the livestream room and tapped wildly. Another ten million people poured in, piece by piece.
The tense atmosphere was on the verge of erupting. The legal team charged at the very front:
[According to our country’s laws and regulations, spreading rumors on a public platform may be subject to criminal punishment…]
Then everyone saw the golden-haired beauty direct the eighteen models to lie down one by one on the cooling mat, arms next to arms, nearly forming a carpet.
The golden-haired beauty held a cute bottle of lotion. She walked beside the models, took off her jacket, and revealed shorts and a cropped top. She lifted her head and looked at the camera.
“Today, as long as you place an order for the Golden-Haired Princess Gift Pack in the livestream room, spend 999, and I’ll add a bottle of Orange-Scented Moisturizing Essential Oil for you!”
“Babies, get those 999s going! As long as we clear all the stock today! Today, right now, immediately, I’ll perform a special stunt for you! I’ll roll over eighteen models covered in essential oil, then roll back again!”
“Three, two, one! Come on! Drop the link!”
Author’s Note:
Clear it out for me in seconds, immediately, right now!
Miss Song: I gave you one hundred million so you could play like this?
Laughing to death, hahahahaha. Just tell me whether it’ll sell out or not!
