SAG -Chapter 170 Settling the Endorsement in Three Sentences

When Ning Qing received Zhang Ran’s call again, she was no longer as surprised as she had been at first, so she quickly made the arrangements.

Moreover, Ning Qing increasingly felt that her decision to build a good relationship with Zhang Ran had been absolutely right.

This time, they still drew lots. But whether it was because Cheng Yi’s luck was simply too good or not, she was chosen again.

After the wave of traffic brought by Prince Haiman’s livestream last time, Cheng Yi’s follower count had exploded. After all, she was a streamer who had once livestreamed together with Prince Haiman. That title alone was enough to attract many fans.

On top of that, Cheng Yi was very pretty, and her gaming skills were also decent. It was only natural that she would gain followers.

Next, the news of Fang Hua livestreaming while playing games once again made Cheng Yi wildly popular, while also causing the download numbers for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to surge again.

However, what many people were even more curious about was the “Mr. Zhang” Fang Hua mentioned in voice chat.

At this time, everyone also realized that this Mr. Zhang should be that same Zhang Ran who had played games with Prince Haiman.

This made everyone even more curious about this mysterious Mr. Zhang.

Just what kind of extraordinary figure was he?

How did he know such important people?

And why were they all willing to accompany him in playing games?

Some capable people quickly traced things back to Biaoxue Game Company. After all, the purpose of this mysterious Mr. Zhang’s two appearances was very obvious: to promote the game.

After all, if he only wanted to play games, there was no need to livestream it. The two of them could have quietly played at home.

Very soon, someone found out that the legal representative of Biaoxue Company was named Zhang Sicheng. He also had the surname Zhang.

Because of this, some people connected Zhang Sicheng with the mysterious Mr. Zhang. However, this conclusion was quickly overturned.

The ages did not match. Zhang Sicheng had not even been born in 1988, and his age was also quite different from Prince Haiman’s.

From the conversation between Prince Haiman and the mysterious Mr. Zhang, it could be heard that the two had known each other since Prince Haiman was young.

Even so, everyone knew that Zhang Sicheng definitely had some connection to this mysterious Mr. Zhang. Otherwise, the mysterious Mr. Zhang would not be helping him like this.

Zhang Sicheng’s exposure also greatly boosted Biaoxue Company’s fame, while further helping the game’s promotion.

Online discussions about the mysterious Mr. Zhang never stopped. However, what disappointed many people was that no one revealed this mysterious Mr. Zhang’s true identity.

Those who knew would not say it, and those who did not know could not guess it.

…

Zhang Ran only played games with Fang Hua for two or three hours. Once the promotional effect had been achieved, they stopped.

At noon, Fang Hua stayed at Zhang Ran’s home for lunch. During the meal, Fang Hua took the initiative to say, “Brother Zhang, last time Siyan said their company wanted to invite me to be their spokesperson?”

Zhang Ran’s actual age was about the same as Fang Hua’s. To express closeness, Fang Hua also took the initiative to call Zhang Ran “Brother Zhang.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Min and Zhang Siyan’s eyes immediately lit up. They looked eagerly at Fang Hua.

If Fang Hua could become the spokesperson for their new product, that would be an enormous pleasant surprise for them.

“I think there was something like that. Are you interested?” Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

Fang Hua nodded and said, “I haven’t accepted advertisements for so many years. Accepting one now would be a good way to maintain some exposure. Besides, Kangshilan is such a large company. I can trust it.”

The reason Fang Hua had not accepted advertisements for such a long time was partly due to his own reasons. Another part was because many products these days were rather unreliable. If something went wrong, it could easily affect his own image.

For the current Fang Hua, that was completely not worth it.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance,” Zhang Ran said, raising his glass.

“It’s nothing. After all, you helped me so greatly back then. What I’m doing now is only a small thing within my ability,” Fang Hua said with a smile.

Seeing the matter settled so simply, Zhang Siyan and Zhou Min felt both pleasantly surprised and a little dazed.

This was especially true for Zhou Min.

In her eyes, this had originally been something utterly impossible. Yet on Zhang Ran’s side, it was solved in just a few sentences.

It made her feel as if she were dreaming.

“I’ll shamelessly accept your help this time, but your endorsement fee must not be reduced. If it’s reduced, that would be slapping me in the face. Whatever should be paid must still be paid,” Zhang Ran said.

Fang Hua smiled and said, “Who would ever complain about having too much money? Brother Zhang, even if you hadn’t said that, I would still have demanded a high price.”

“Haha, good. Come, drink,” Zhang Ran said with a laugh.

After the meal, before Fang Hua had left, Zhou Min hurriedly went over and showed Fang Hua the results of the proposal she had worked on all night.

At the same time, she asked Fang Hua about his requirements for the endorsement, since she needed to prepare properly.

Zhang Siyan also listened from the side the entire time.

These matters were not her strong suit, but fortunately, Zhou Min was there to help.

Zhang Siyan now realized that it seemed she only needed to grasp the direction—or rather, the so-called bigger picture. As for the rest, she did not need to worry about it herself.

She only had to give instructions on what needed to be done, and someone would complete it.

Most importantly, she also realized that whether it was Huo Zhiyuan or Zhang Ran, both of them seemed to have arranged these things for her in advance. What she needed to do now was learn management and increase her experience and abilities.

Zhang Siyan felt that both Huo Zhiyuan and Zhang Ran seemed to be trying to position her—no, to train her—as someone who oversaw the overall situation, rather than someone who personally handled every task.

This left Zhang Siyan somewhat dazed.

She felt that when it came to these matters, Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan had a natural tacit understanding.

But judging from the current situation, Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan did not seem to know each other. This gave her a rather strange feeling.

Especially since during this period, Huo Zhiyuan often called her over. They rarely discussed work. Most of the time, they just chatted about ordinary family matters.

Moreover, the feeling Huo Zhiyuan gave Zhang Siyan was like that of a kind and loving elder, not the company’s president or her superior.

While Zhang Siyan was lost in thought, Qian Li was accompanying Huang Huihui and the others.

She had also developed a habit. Whenever Zhang Siyan had something to deal with, Qian Li would subconsciously help out, treating it as if it were her own matter.

Zhou Min and Fang Hua discussed things for nearly an hour.

When Fang Hua finally said goodbye and left, Zhou Min looked extremely excited.

“Siyan, it’s done! It really succeeded!” Zhou Min said, jumping with excitement.

Although Fang Hua had agreed this time because of Zhang Ran’s face, Zhou Min had still participated in the process. She would definitely receive part of the credit.

And judging by Zhang Ran’s attitude, he would not claim that credit for himself.

So aside from Zhang Siyan, Zhou Min would receive the most credit.

With this achievement, she would be able to firmly establish herself in her current position.

That was what made Zhou Min the most excited.
