Chapter 0204: Anomaly

Some people in this world grow younger as they age, while others age prematurely.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, and among ten million people, there are naturally ten million stories.

But Zhao Fusheng never expected to meet that woman here.

There was no helping it—those glasses were just too conspicuous.

Zhao Fusheng remembered clearly that last night and the time before in Beijing, that female drunkard had worn the same pair of glasses.

“President Zheng, Xiao Zhao, welcome.” Wang Jinghua smiled and said to the two of them.

Zheng Yao smiled slightly: “Sister Hua, we’re the ones intruding.”

Wang Jinghua waved her hand: “Not at all. Come on in, let’s talk inside.”

The two entered the room. Zhao Fusheng’s gaze swept across and he noticed that the only people in the room were Wang Jinghua, that woman, and Sister Chen, who was clearly an assistant.

“And this is?” Zhao Fusheng looked at the bespectacled woman who hadn’t spoken a word from start to finish.

“This is Feifei. Feifei, this is Zhao Fusheng, the planner.” Only then did Wang Jinghua remember that Zhou Feifei and Zhao Fusheng had never met, so she quickly introduced them.

“Hello.” Zhao Fusheng was startled for a moment, then revealed an inexplicable smile and extended his hand to Zhou Feifei.

“Hello.” Zhou Feifei responded in a low, muffled voice, lightly touched Zhao Fusheng’s hand with hers, then quickly withdrew it, as if Zhao Fusheng were some venomous snake or fierce beast.

Wang Jinghua was taken aback and looked at Zhou Feifei with considerable surprise. Sister Chen beside her was even more astonished. Everyone knew that Zhou Feifei was by no means so shy. Not to mention Zhao Fusheng, even when facing the big directors and stars she had worked with before, Zhou Feifei had never been so docile.

What was going on?

The same question almost simultaneously arose in the minds of Sister Chen and Wang Jinghua. Even Zheng Yao, who had met Zhou Feifei before, found it strange—how was Zhou Feifei’s attitude different from last time?

Not only that, but from start to finish, Zhou Feifei never took off her sunglasses.

But Zhao Fusheng didn’t mind. He looked at Zhou Feifei with a half-smile: “Miss Zhou, your glasses are very pretty.”

Everyone was stunned. In their impression, Zhao Fusheng was not the kind of frivolous person who would compliment someone’s glasses on first meeting.

At this moment, Zhao Fusheng was almost bursting with laughter. It was said that celebrities always had various faces off-screen—for instance, a strong single mother might cheat with a band drummer, or a big-mouthed actress might have hooked up with a famous photographer before her divorce.

But someone like Zhou Feifei was truly rare.

Getting herself drunk from time to time, like a female drunkard—just thinking about it made Zhao Fusheng want to laugh.

Though life is full of all kinds of small twists and turns, it occasionally brings surprises. What remains constant is always a new day.

“A new day always comes, so I think we can let go of yesterday’s matters. What do you say, Sister Hua?” Zhao Fusheng smiled, glanced at Zhou Feifei, and said to Wang Jinghua.

Wang Jinghua was startled, then nodded: “You’re right. We really should look further ahead.”

In her view, Zhao Fusheng’s words clearly hinted that the previous matter couldn’t be let go and that negotiations needed to restart.

But to Zhou Feifei, it meant something else entirely.

Giving Zhao Fusheng a deep look, Zhou Feifei finally took off her sunglasses and revealed a smile: “Planner Zhao is right. We really should look forward. After all, life always moves ahead.”

Zhao Fusheng nodded. Though nothing was said explicitly, the two had essentially put the past behind them.

After all, for a female star, such a matter wasn’t something to be proud of, and for Zhao Fusheng, he didn’t want to be misunderstood as having any relationship with Zhou Feifei.

Of course, this was a secret between them. Zhao Fusheng wouldn’t tell anyone, and Zhou Feifei would naturally reciprocate.

“Alright, since we’re looking forward, let’s talk about the endorsement.” Wang Jinghua’s gaze darted suspiciously between Zhou Feifei and Zhao Fusheng, but found both of them looking composed.

Intuition told her that these two definitely had a secret, but this wasn’t the time to probe, so Wang Jinghua changed the subject.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: “No problem. Let me show you two the proposal first.”

With that, he took out the same proposal he had given Liu Dehua and reintroduced it.

After a long while, Wang Jinghua and Zhou Feifei almost simultaneously looked up. Wang Jinghua hesitated and said nothing, but Zhou Feifei asked seriously: “Liu Dehua really agreed to endorse for free?”

Zhao Fusheng didn’t speak but glanced at Zheng Yao. Zheng Yao smiled slightly and nodded: “The contract is signed. Huazi will fully cooperate with our promotion.”

Zhou Feifei nodded, then looked at Wang Jinghua.

She had always been accustomed to following Wang Jinghua’s advice on such matters. After all, she had won Best Actress at the domestic film festival at nineteen and starred in films by international directors, all thanks to Sister Hua’s management and guidance. So to Zhou Feifei, Wang Jinghua’s opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

Wang Jinghua was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: “Is the donation campaign for Aipu Mobile real?”

Zheng Yao was taken aback. Zhao Fusheng smiled: “Huazi asked the same question.”

Wang Jinghua let out a long breath. Since Zhao Fusheng said that, it meant Liu Dehua must have gotten a satisfactory answer.

With that in mind, Wang Jinghua smiled slightly and nodded to Zhao Fusheng: “In that case, our Feifei can also endorse for free, and we will attend the donation event to cooperate with the promotion.”

She wasn’t stupid. If Zhao Fusheng’s plan was implemented, once Aipu Mobile’s series of promotional activities were carried out, the brand’s reputation would surely reach a considerable height.

At the very least, both its favorability and recognition would become widely known.

The donation campaign promoted goodwill—after all, if a company was genuinely willing to do charity, no one would have negative feelings toward it. Sponsoring campus activities, on the other hand, aimed to capture the market of young people, who used mobile phones the most, since people often have habitual thinking when consuming.

A phone with high favorability and endorsement by top celebrities was undoubtedly the first choice for young people.

That was also why Han Pojun had agreed to Zhao Fusheng’s promotional plan.

By the same token, it was why both Liu Dehua and Wang Jinghua were optimistic about this plan—because with this round of promotion, both the product itself and the endorsers would reap huge benefits.
