Chapter 144: 144 went to find Uncle Yan, he is Alexander.
After Chen Beini left, Shi Lan washed up while messaging Yan Shixiu on WeChat: “It’s nine o’clock, Uncle?”
Yan Shixiu was still in a company meeting. When he saw the message, he stopped and replied, “Can’t sleep?”
Shi Lan: “Not really, just wondering about your situation?”
President Yan: “There have been a lot of meetings lately; I’ll be right over.”
Shi Lan: “Keep at your meeting, I have my life-saving weapon.”
The young lady was referring to her human-shaped body pillow.
To establish Shuangshi Group, Yan Shixiu knew there would certainly be opposition from some senior members. Advancing this matter couldn’t be settled in just a few meetings. Internal and external disturbances could affect Yan Shixiu’s judgment, so he couldn’t afford any distractions now.
If Miss Shi had been in this situation, how could she have cared about going home? She would have stayed at the company directly.
But Yan Shixiu had just said, “I’ll be right over.”
Thinking of how she used to treat him, Shi Lan immediately felt the difference.
Therefore, she changed her clothes, donning a pure black T-shirt and shorts, and snapped on a black hat, as if to blend into the night invisibly.
“You’re going out this late?” Sun Ling was surprised to see her change her mind just before bed.
“Going to find Uncle Yan, he’s got an Alexander situation.”
“Which uncle??” Dr. Sun, a prime gadget geek, was clueless about the couple’s antics and didn’t understand the new endearment of “uncle.” “Big Shot, you have an early scene tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Shi Lan turned around, looked at Sun Ling, and said, “Didn’t you say to be carefree and free?”
Dr. Sun was instantly choked up by the Big Shot’s retort.
“Enough talk, the sooner you leave, the sooner you return.”
They requested a car from the hotel and left the film and television base. But halfway through, Sun Ling played “Demon Hundred Orders” in front of Shi Lan. The female Big Shot glanced at it and asked, “Seems like I’m not keeping you busy enough?”
Supporting his neck, Sun Ling hurriedly explained, “No, Chen Beini’s assistant mentioned that there’s a contest for this game with a first prize of a million in prize money, plus separate copyright fees. I was checking it out to see if there was anything I could get involved in, you know, just in case I got lucky?”
“Here you go, this is the entire contest schedule Chen Beini’s assistant sent me. The call for works is closing in a few days, and soon it’ll move on to the public disclosure and voting phase.”
Miss Shi took the phone from Sun Ling and, after a close examination, immediately understood what was going on.
“This contest has been running for four years now, and they’re getting more and more generous with the prize money.”
“You know about this?”
“My Jusen Technology was involved in the programming once; guess you could say we’re fatefully connected,” Shi Lan explained, “But that’s all from a past life.”
“Big Shot, I just remembered something, you can draw, right? One million, aren’t you tempted?” Sun Ling reminded Shi Lan, “Us outsiders just watch the excitement. We say we want to get involved, but we can’t even find the entrance and can only watch the high gods fight. But you’re different; you’re so clever and skilled. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to show off a bit? Moreover, the game is looking for a celebrity endorser. Maybe we can take this chance to nab it in one go?”
To the Big Shot, the money was indeed interesting.
As for being an endorser, considering “Demon Hundred Orders'” popularity and craze, it was likely that female artists had already been fiercely competing for it.
And the Big Shot was unaware that the resource Gu Chengyu wanted to connect her with was the endorsement for “Demon Hundred Orders,” as Gu Chengyu had the background for it.
Of course, not knowing was for the best; had she known, wouldn’t it make the young lady nauseated?
