In fact, Xiao Zulinqing was just as surprised as Lu Xingzhi.
The girl in her care wouldn’t accept any scripts, even though many had already been sent her way.
She’s received so many that her hands were nearly sore, and some were from renowned directors. But what can you do, Lu Xingzhi simply didn’t want to take that path. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel~fire~net
Xiao Zulinqing felt genuinely heartbroken watching those scripts slip away, as if countless bills were disappearing before her eyes.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t even realize that the offers were already quite high.
Especially for someone like her, who has never had any acting experience.
"But that’s not even why they’re reaching out to me! Besides, a lot of my fans were brought by Jin Yan and Helian Yi. Oh, and there’s even a portion that came over from Zhou Yuwei."
Lu Xingzhi sometimes found these fans really adorable. They would scold her, realize their mistake, and then come to apologize.
"None of that matters. Little Zhi Liao, they said your temperament and image fit their brand," Xiao Zulinqing thought it was the truth, Lu Xingzhi’s aura couldn’t be better.
Moreover, that face alone was enough for those brands to come knocking.
It wasn’t just this one brand seeking her, there were some other random endorsements too, which she naturally wouldn’t have Lu Xingzhi accept.
After all, if she’s taking a high-end path in the future, better not ruin it over these minor gains now.
"I’ll pass! I haven’t even officially made it to the big stage yet."
Xiao Zulinqing thought of something and cut to the chase, "The endorsement fee they’re offering isn’t low."
"How much is it?" That piqued Lu Xingzhi’s interest.
Xiao Zulinqing: "..."
Little Zhi Liao, you’re known as a little fairy by the netizens, can’t you be a bit less tacky?
"Three million, but that’s their initial offer. I’ve already haggled it up to eight million, and after some back and forth, we settled on six million six hundred sixty-six thousand." Xiao Zulinqing was definitely a competent manager.
She’s quite capable, but the one in her charge is very uncooperative.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t even think before she agreed. "Alright then! But I’m going to France, so when’s their shoot scheduled?"
With over six million, she could buy Uncle many gifts.
"I’ve already negotiated that part; they’ll shoot on location in France, so you needn’t worry," Xiao Zulinqing said.
"Then I have no issues. Can’t believe I’m actually worth something," Lu Xingzhi beamed happily. Even though it’s before taxes, she’s still very pleased!
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself?" Xiao Zulinqing’s mouth twitched. Dammit, if she had a face like Lu Xingzhi’s, why bother being a manager.
She’d just be a trophy, shoot movies, dramas, and ads. Whatever brings money, she’d do it.
What are those? She wouldn’t need them.
Or maybe she wouldn’t even need to do any of that, just find a wealthy man. Act cute, sell some charm, and he’d probably be eager to hand over his heart.
Every day would be all about shopping, sleeping in, and traveling around.
Sounds pretty wonderful just thinking about it!
But soon, reality slapped her in the face.
Right, she’s not Lu Xingzhi, she doesn’t have that face.
But she is Lu Xingzhi’s manager, and has plenty of free time.
