mistakenly compared you to a star

That day Chu Zichen received a text message from Yan Ke, asking him to spare some time this week and go back to the company for a meeting.

"Is there anything that needs to be discussed in the past?" He hadn't encountered anything that he had to return to the company to deal with since he joined the team, which was a bit strange.

"It needs to be discussed with other employees. Let's come here."

Different from his usual tough and direct style, Yan Ke's answer was somewhat evasive.In the end Chu Zichen agreed, but a faint confusion still lingered in his heart.

On the day of departure, Chu Zichen subconsciously picked out the warm-colored sweater and suede jacket that Yan Ke liked to see him wearing, and wrapped it around the scarf Yan Ke gave him. However, after hesitating for a while, he took off all of them and changed into another Leisure Suit.After changing his clothes and going downstairs, he met Wang Jing who was waiting for him by the car. The other party was also a little surprised to see him: "Wow, why is he dressed like this today!"

Chu Zichen pretended to be okay and smiled: "Since we are going to a meeting, let's do business."

After arriving at the company, the front desk did not take him to Yan Ke's office, but a conference room.Through the glass, I saw that there were only two people waiting for him inside - Yan Ke and the business director.

The business director sat in the front row, and Yan Ke sat alone in the last few rows of the conference room, expressionless.

Chu Zichen took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and greeted the two with a hearty tone.When Yan Ke's eyes briefly met, the other party seemed to be startled, and his eyes quickly turned away a little.

So he came to the row of seats where the commercial director was and sat down.

Wang Jing stood at the door and asked, "Well, do you want me to listen together?"

Yan Ke: "No need. You go."

Wang Jing nodded and closed the meeting room door.The room was filled with awkward silence for a moment.The commercial director probably didn't expect such an atmosphere, and was a little dazed, but Yan Ke raised his chin to her: "You tell me."

A look of surprise flashed across the face of the commercial director, as if he was wondering why Mr. Yan, who usually likes to lead meetings, became so casual today.But her good professionalism made her quickly withdraw her thoughts and cleared her throat: "Well, there are actually some things about business cooperation, and I want to discuss it with Teacher Chu."

The commercial director sat in the front row: "Mr. Chu and Warrior's brand endorsement has completed the contract process, but Mr. Chu should already know that if the sales volume does not meet the value expected by the brand, the cooperation can be terminated and the final payment will also be taken. No. Now not only the executives of the studio, but the entire industry are paying attention to this cooperation, especially the sales of this endorsement, so we need a beautiful figure to refresh our commercial value in the eyes of the brand. Therefore, we I have planned some rigid sales promotion, hoping to get the cooperation of Mr. Chu."

Chu Zichen nodded: "Tell me specifically."

"Other methods are more conventional, but there happened to be a coincidence last week - another clothing brand contacted Mr. Xue's endorsement."

When the commercial director said this, he noticed the subtle change in Chu Zichen's expression, and glanced at Yan Ke with some uncertainty, then he settled down and continued: "Actually, we were quite surprised at first, because they had never asked Teacher Xue before. This type of artist, but after I analyzed it with Mr. Yan, it was probably because the brand’s strategy was to match Warrior and seize their market share. During this time, Teacher Xue and Teacher Chu happened to have a lot of fans on the Internet. Controversy... Considering that the influence of the two teachers is also equal, this brand should hope to promote sales through competition among fans."

The commercial director looked at him carefully: "...I just don't know if Mr. Chu accepts this form."

Chu Zichen frowned, why are the disgusting things always related to Xue Shengqian, and they can't be shaken off like quick brown sugar? "Won't it be too ugly to take advantage of fans' emotions nakedly?"

"That being said, it's actually quite a routine operation in the industry..."

"But I don't feel well."

The commercial director hesitated to speak, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.At this time, Yan Ke's voice suddenly came from the back row:

"You think too much. The outside world doesn't know that you and Xue Shengqian are at odds. The so-called competition on the Internet is actually started by the fans themselves. To put it bluntly, they like it. They are willing to fight for you, so you give them one." Opportunity, this is called win-win, what's wrong?"

Chu Zichen suddenly asked: "Is this your idea?"

"Is this important?" Yan Ke sighed, with a slightly tired expression on his face.This appearance reminded Chu Zichen of the pressure from the board of directors on Yan Ke that Lu Kuan had mentioned.

Chu Zichen looked at each other across a dozen rows of tables and chairs, thinking, of course this is important.If it helps you, I at least have reason to convince myself that I don't mind.

Is it a win-win?If the competitor is Lu Kuan, he can understand this as a win-win situation.But now the opponent is Xue Shengqian who is at war with him... Has Yan Ke really thought about it from his own point of view?

He was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man, when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Xue Shengqian barged in carelessly.

"Mr. Chu is too reserved. We are all actors who take money to do things, so there is no need to take ourselves too seriously."

Chu Zichen found that he didn't like him even more than he thought. He couldn't like anything about his appearance or the way he spoke.Too bad luck, why is he also in the company?

Yan Ke looked at the uninvited guest with displeasure: "You don't need to participate in this meeting."

"But I'm also an important person involved. Isn't that right, Teacher Chu?" Xue Shengqian's smile was like a mask, without any warmth.

Chu Zichen looked at him coldly.How did Xue Shengqian know the whole thing and still have such a positive attitude?

Could it be that... it was Xue Shengqian's idea to compete for sales...?

The deliberate arc at the corner of Xue Shengqian's mouth seemed to confirm his hypothesis.That being the case, is he really just trying to boost sales?I'm afraid it's more aimed at myself...

Yes, this is a declaration of war.

If he agreed to the competition today, he could only win, not lose.

However, Xue Shengqian has a powerful publicity channel of live broadcasting, but he rarely does live broadcasting, and Weibo is only operated on a whim. In terms of the influence of bringing goods, it is difficult for him to compare with it.

It's not hard to imagine how Xue Shengqian would mock him if he lost the game.

But if you don't agree...you will be told by the other party, and you don't even dare to compare.

Chu Zichen gritted his teeth silently.

At this time, Yan Ke spoke again: "Ah Chen, the sales data will not be published, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xue Shengqian's sarcastic eyes swept over almost at the same time, so hot that he seemed to have been stripped of the last layer of camouflage.

It turns out that you also know that I may lose.Chu Zichen thought.

He slowly stood up from his seat and turned to look at the three people in the conference room.They are either looking forward to, begging, or looking at themselves thoughtfully, as if they are an outsider who gets in the way.

"So, you have already discussed it, just to convince me, right?"

The commercial director hurriedly smoothed things over: "Actually, this is also a necessary communication..."

Chu Zichen ignored it, and his gaze fell directly on Yan Ke who was farthest away.He hid behind outsiders with peace of mind, watching himself unable to attack because of the presence of outsiders, so embarrassed, so isolated and helpless.

No wonder there was no private communication.Only here can I be at his mercy.

It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't think of his own difficulties, he thought of them all.He just chose interests.

At this moment, he suddenly felt very boring.

Chu Zichen was glad that he came in a suit, so that he could keep his back straight at this time: "President Yan, there is really no need to make it so complicated. You know I will never make things difficult for you."

After speaking, he didn't want to stay for a moment, turned around and went out out of everyone's sight.

Not long after walking out, Wang Jing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with an unusual excitement on his face:

"Brother Chen, I got Dr. He's phone number!"
