(www.du, no pop-ups to read the full text)

Aunt's house.

In an alley on Nanheng Street.

The bungalow is not big, about twenty square meters, and is divided into two rooms. The inner room is where Zhang Donghua and Zhang Shuang sleep, and the outer room used to be the living room. However, since Zhang Shuang opened this online store to make his own brand last year, the outer room has been The house basically turned into a "warehouse". It was full of boxes of clothes, big and small, and there wasn't much room to get around, so the whole bungalow seemed crowded and messy.

Back room.

Zhang Donghua put down the phone and said, "Xiao Ye is coming right now."

Zhang Shuangfang came over slowly, "Did you say that?"

"I talked about it for a while." Zhang Donghua complained: "It's true of you. If you don't talk about your own affairs yourself, you still have to ask me to pass on a message."

Zhang Shuang said bitterly: "I'm so thin-skinned. Xiaoye can be where he is today without any help from our family. I, the elder sister, have never taken care of him. Now that my younger brother has made a living, it's all on his own." After all the hard work, I turned back to him for help... My younger brother is now a big star, third tier, what is the concept? When I go out on the bus, people are talking about him. If I buy a newspaper, there may be news about my younger brother. and photos. He is not a big shot, but a small shot. I am... embarrassed to speak. You know that I never like to ask for help. Alas, but this time I really have no choice. There are so many things in the outhouse. If the supply continues to be suppressed, our capital chain will be cut off."

Zhang Donghua looked at the goods in the outer room and felt a headache. He was also anxious for his daughter and said: "When doing business, you are afraid of selling goods. If you have a job, you can at least have a source of salary, but now there is no job. Okay, this guy is going to die. When Xiaoye comes, talk to him. I have watched Xiaoye grow up. He is filial and affectionate. If he can help you within his ability, It will definitely help.”

Zhang Shuang said: "I know that. I'm afraid that my brother will have any contract restrictions. Celebrities are not the ones who can endorse others casually."

Zhang Donghua didn't understand this, "You can ask him when he comes."

Suddenly there were footsteps in the yard, and a female voice came in, "Shuang"

Zhang Shuang: "..."

The female voice called again: "Shuang"

Then, a not very tall woman in her twenties or seventies entered the house. She opened the door and walked in without knocking. It was obvious that she must be familiar with their family.

Zhang Shuang made a fainting expression and said, "Liu Qian, how many times have I told you, can you please stop calling me by my name like that? It's just two words, you're just saying it out of nowhere. You are so cool, what do people think you are? You are so shabby.

"

Liu Qian smiled and said: "You are called by this name who asked you to."

Zhang Donghua smiled and said, "Qianqian is here?"

"Auntie, I came to see you. How are you?" Liu Qian asked.

"Very good. How are your parents' health?" Zhang Donghua said.

Liu Qian was very cheerful, "They are in better shape than me. No, they went to Taoranting Park to dance again early in the morning. I couldn't stop them."

Zhang Donghua picked up a cloth bag and said, "Okay, you and Xiaoshuang can talk about business. Auntie, I'm going out to buy some groceries. You're not allowed to leave at noon. Stay and eat."

Liu Qian was not polite at all, "That's natural. You can't even blast me away. How can I not eat when there is food?"

Zhang Shuang joked: "You are a thief who never misses the mark."

Zhang Donghua closed the door when he left, and Liu Qian and Zhang Shuang sat down.

Liu Qian looked at the piles of clothes in the outer room and asked, "Still can't sell them?"

Zhang Shuang said sadly: "I placed two orders yesterday, but there was no order the day before yesterday. Don't let the processing factory place any more orders. You can't sell them here."

"You don't have to tell me." Liu Qian said depressedly: "This year's business is too bad. Although it was not too good last year, we can still make ends meet. We also quit our jobs and are preparing to quit. It was a big deal, but now it's better and the road is closed. How much money do you still have there?"

Zhang Shuang spread his hands and said, "It's just the tens of thousands of yuan in deposits I had before."

Liu Qian sighed and said: "Sisters are about the same as you. We are poor. Our brand can't continue like this. We have to find a way. By the way, you called me yesterday. Didn't you think of a way? What way? Huh? Hurry up and say it, this is imminent."

Zhang Shuang hesitated, "I don't know if it will work yet."

Liu Qian said: "Then what can you do first?"

"I want to... find a model to help us..." Zhang Shuang hasn't finished speaking yet.

Liu Qian shook her head, "It's not like we haven't hired models before. They were very expensive. In the end, after the shoot, we didn't sell many clothes. This is not the problem of the models."

Zhang Shuang coughed and said, "I'm not talking about ordinary models."

Liu Qian glanced at her and said happily: "Not just an ordinary model? Do you still want to invite celebrities to endorse our brand?"

Zhang Shuang: "...Yeah."

Liu Qian reached out and touched her forehead, "Come on, let me see how high your fever is."

"Don't make trouble." Zhang Shuang slapped his best friend's hand away speechlessly.

Liu Qian said: "Don't make trouble, eldest sister, we only have tens of thousands of dollars left. What kind of celebrities do you want to invite? It's not even enough money to do a big promotion on the website. Those celebrities can eat people without spitting out their bones." , let alone those third- and fourth-tier stars, just an ordinary fifth-tier artist with some fans. If you ask him to come over and be a model to endorse a product for you, it will cost more than hundreds of thousands? This is to say the least, if it really is Can you afford those third- and fourth-tier celebrities if they don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars? And we are not a big brand like others, nor are we doing TV commercials. We are just a small online store. Even if you can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars, People, those celebrities won’t even look at us, and if I had a million, what kind of online store would I do? Well, how about I just open a physical store? Girl, I think you’re really confused.”

Zhang Shuang exclaimed, "It's not what you think."

"Then what do you mean?" Liu Qian asked.

Zhang Shuang thought about it for a long time and finally said, "Well, my brother is actually in the entertainment industry. Hey, but he can't be considered a person in the entertainment industry in the full sense. Anyway, he is quite popular. I think if he Can you help us? Our online store may..."

"Your brother? You have a younger brother? How come I don't know that I've known you for several years?" Liu Qian said.

Zhang Shuang said: "He's not his biological brother, he's the son of my mother's brother. You don't come to our house often, so of course you've never seen him."

Liu Qian looked at her, "Is your brother handsome?"

Zhang Shuang said, "Just so-so, not handsome."

Liu Qian rolled her eyes, "Then how popular can he be? He's at most a newcomer just signed by an agency, right? Not many people know him, so it's useless to ask him to be a model."

Zhang Shuang didn't want to hear it and said: "Hey, it's useless to say it, if my brother..."

As he was talking, footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and then the door was pushed open. Zhang Ye said, "Auntie, eh? Where is the person?"

Zhang Shuang's eyes lit up and he came out of the back room, "Xiao Ye."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sister, where are you?"

"Well, you're here so soon?"

"That's right, we don't live far apart."

"My mom went shopping for groceries." As he spoke, Zhang Shuang turned his head and introduced, "This is my college classmate and my best friend, Liu Qian."

Zhang Ye took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

Liu Qian looked him up and down, shook hands with him and said, "It's good for you too."

Zhang Shuang said to her: "This is my brother."

Liu Qian chuckled and said, "I can see it. Your noses are quite similar. They are almost cut from the same mold." Maybe she didn't recognize Zhang Ye, so she didn't react at all.

Zhang Ye wasn't surprised either. There were many people who didn't know him, and he wasn't known to everyone yet. He looked at Zhang Shuang and said, "Sister, if you have anything to do in the future, just call me. It’s not that you don’t have my mobile phone number.”

Zhang Shuang said: "Aren't I afraid that you will be busy?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's your business. No matter how busy I am as a younger brother, I have to make time. By the way, my aunt said, your online store is short of a model?"

Zhang Shuang was about to speak.

Liu Qian secretly touched her on the side.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Shuang glared at her, and then said: "Yes, the business in my store is very poor right now. The winter clothes I made this year are all overstocked. They are all stored in the outer room. If they can't be sold again, I won't be able to sell them this year." I’m not going to make any spring clothes either, so I wanted to ask if it’s inconvenient for you.”

Zhang Ye said happily: "This is a big deal. What's the inconvenience? What do you tell me to do? Should we shoot now or when?"

"Can you do it today?"

"I can do either."

"Okay, then today"

Zhang Shuang was very happy when he heard Zhang Ye's answer, but suddenly thought of something, "Is there no conflict in your contract?"

Zhang Ye waved his hand, "It's okay."

Zhang Shuang said: "Don't cause any more trouble for you. I heard that you artists can't promote and endorse people casually. I don't understand your entertainment contracts."

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Actually, I don't understand either, but it shouldn't matter. Even if something happens, it doesn't matter. It's not like I haven't made mistakes. How can they still eat me? I just took a few photos of my sister. It's only natural. "His current company is Weiwo Network TV Station, but he really doesn't understand this kind of contract in the entertainment industry. Anyway, he doesn't care. He has his own set of reasons.

Zhang Shuang thought about it. His brother's reputation in the entertainment industry is basically known to everyone, and others don't dare to mess with him. "That's great, thank you Xiaoye."

Zhang Ye said: "Sister, why are you so polite to me? If you have something to do, just say a word. Whatever I can do, I will do it for you. If I can't do it, I will ask someone to do it for you.

Zhang Shuang was a little moved and gave a heavy hum.

Zhang Ye never said a word to his relatives

Although when he grew up, he rarely saw his aunts and sisters except for New Years and holidays, but when he was a child, he lived at his aunt's house for several winter and summer vacations. Because his parents were busy with work and could not take care of him at that time, he stayed with his aunts during winter and summer vacations. He ate and drank at his aunt's house and then went back to his own home in the evening, so he and Zhang Shuang grew up together and their relationship was very good.

Zhang Shuang looked at the time and said, "Let's go to the hotel. I'll make a reservation now. I can't take pictures due to the conditions at home. The hotel will be more convenient, okay, Xiaoye?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "I am here to help. I will do whatever you tell me."

Zhang Shuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would be better to have a younger brother, "Okay, you sit down and drink some water first, I will call the hotel." After that, she went out.

When Liu Qian saw it, she hurried out and stopped Zhang Shuang who was about to make a call in the yard. She said with a dumbfounded look on her face: "What are you doing? Do you really want your brother to be a model?"

"Didn't we all agree?" Zhang Shuang said.

Liu Qian rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that I'm looking down on you. Of course, your brother's appearance cannot be said to be ugly, but he's not very handsome either. And that figure... What kind of figure does that have? Why? He’s not the material to be a model. He’s not as good as our first two models. What’s the use of asking him to take a few photos? Not to mention that the sales have increased, so if the sales don’t continue to decrease, I’ll be overjoyed.”

Zhang Shuang was amused, "Oh, don't you know my brother?"

"It's our first time meeting him. What do I know about him?" Liu Qian didn't understand.

Zhang Shuang didn't say much, "Anyway, just listen to me. You'll know when the photos are uploaded. You really don't know anything."

Liu Qian said: "What do I know?"

Zhang Shuang glanced at him, "Do you know how many companies want my brother to be endorsed? Do you know how much my brother's annual endorsement fee is?"

Liu Qian asked: "How much?"

Zhang Shuang said: "His annual endorsement fee is at least several million. Many companies ask my brother for one million for endorsement. I heard that my brother doesn't accept it."

Liu Qian chuckled and said, "Blow it, keep on blowing it."

Zhang Shuang was speechless, "You are just ignorant. You don't read the news or pay attention to the entertainment industry. Forget it, I won't tell you. Haha, I'll make a hotel appointment first."

Liu Qian chased after her, "Hey, don't leave. Tell me clearly. What do you mean? Do you really want to use your brother as a model? His figure... I think my dad is more suitable than him."
