CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 894: WISDOM THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST

Kapasa was invited to Xiangjiang for a business talk. He left with a contract and the sincerest thanks, leaving behind a $200,000 charity donation.

Regarding this, Student Xiao Lin commented: "That’s why he’s the Child of Fate. Look at his vision, regular people can’t compare."

Shen Yu: "...?"

He always feels she’s hinting at something.

Shen Yu, feeling no guilt, momentarily changed the subject: "Didn’t you invite Brown?"

He could tell Lin Nianhe was out for success this time.

The main distributors for Lan Brand are the Shen Family, Kapasa, and Brown from North America. Now that two contracts are settled, Lin Nianhe wouldn’t skip the North American market.

Lin Nianhe listened and instead laughed: "Why should I reach out to him?"

Shen Yu studied her, as if asking: Then what are you planning?

Lin Nianhe held her coffee cup, subtly smiling.

She said: "Before I came, I checked Brown’s procurement records... for four years, his procurement volume hasn’t increased, and he’s even voluntarily decreased it. Last year’s autumn trade fair, his procurement volume was 150,000. Fourth Uncle, do you really think the North American market is that small?"

Shen Yu naturally stayed informed, he said: "I reminded Factory Director Ji before, that Brown set up his own factory in South America, aggressively producing similar styles, but..."

When he mentioned this to Factory Director Ji in previous years, Factory Director Ji just smiled, thanked him, but said nothing or did anything.

Lin Nianhe questioned: "So, do you actually know Lan Brand Headwear’s sales in North America?"

Shen Yu said: "Not specifically, but my second brother estimated at least 30 million pieces annually."

"Looks like he’s really putting effort into operations and promotion... really diligent of him." Lin Nianhe’s smile carried amusement, showing no annoyance.

Shen Yu was too familiar with this smile; when she stirred things up in Xiangjiang back in the day, she wore the same smile.

"Ah He, what do you plan to do?" Shen Yu was curious.

Lin Nianhe beamed: "Secret."

...

A week later, Shen Hongzun, who crossed the oceans, sent great news. He connected with Camille through a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend and successfully contacted her, offering an annual 180,000 salary to make her Lan Brand’s spokesperson.

The price is undeniably high, but Lin Nianhe hesitated not a second and immediately sent the advance payment.

Another week later, Camille arrived in Xiangjiang, and simultaneously, Director Sie came too.

Camille was here, but Shen Hongzun didn’t return, nor did Shen Wenyan, who was supposed to have returned earlier.

"Xiao He, I’m into filmmaking, and you want me to shoot ads... isn’t this a bit of a waste?"

Director Sie was quite dissatisfied—he left an entire crew behind.

Lin Nianhe said: "I’m paying."

Sie Yufei held his head high: "Am I someone who’s swayed by just money?"

Lin Nianhe: "Alright then, I’m not paying you."

Sie Yufei: "...?"

Lin Nianhe said she wouldn’t pay, and she truly wouldn’t.

Not only was she not paying, but even the travel expenses had to be covered by Sie Yufei himself.

At the shooting location, Director Sie fiddled with the equipment while grumbling: "If it were anyone else... no amount of persuasion would bring me here..."

They borrowed the Shen Family’s backyard for filming—the perfect set, picturesque at every angle, thanks to the gardener’s diligent work, with no need for additional decorations.

Lin Nianhe handed him an ice pop: "Got it, got it, Fourth Brother, have an ice pop."

Director Sie took the ice pop without further complaints.

He bit into half of the ice pop before remembering to ask: "How do you want to shoot?"

Lin Nianhe asked back: "Just look at Camille’s face, does it not inspire even a tiny bit of creativity?"

Camille was very pretty, with a small face the size of a palm, delicate features, perfect lips, and when she smiled, it was especially captivating.

Sie Yufei looked at Camille not far off, who was touching up her makeup, contemplated briefly, and shook his head: "No, she’s not my muse."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Director Sie was truly choosy.

Lin Nianhe said: "The lipstick slogan is: ’If you want to be irreplaceable, you must be unique.’ You can improvise on the storyline."

"That slogan’s pretty interesting... Wait, you said this is a slogan for lipstick? Is there anything else besides this?"

Sie Yufei, sharp as ever, sensed the question buried in Lin Nianhe’s words.

Being sharp was necessary.

This involved the workload ahead.

"Brother Hongzun signed the Lan Brand endorsement contract for me, and since Head Flower is also of Lan Brand, we should shoot them together."

Lin Nianhe said confidently.

Sie Yufei was dumbfounded.

After a while, he asked a soul-piercing question: "Shen Hongzun is that capable?"

It shouldn’t be... Xiao He said Shen Hongzun and Ji Mingyi are about the same...

Thinking about Ji Mingyi, who gets tricked into running around the mountains by Lin Nianhe, Sie Yufei felt Shen Hongzun shouldn’t have such wisdom.

Lin Nianhe licked her lips: "Actually...the contract was written by me, negotiations were over the phone, Brother Hongzun went just to prove I wasn’t a scammer."

Sie Yufei understood: "That makes sense."

After pondering for a while, Sie Yufei asked again: "So, have you thought of the slogan for Head Flower yet?"

Lin Nianhe said: "I think slogans shouldn’t be too complex, let’s use this one for both, but you’ll need to film two ads with the same theme but completely different content."

Sie Yufei knew Lin Nianhe so well.

He didn’t even need to think: "You probably hadn’t thought about it until just now, right?"

If she truly hadn’t thought it through, she wouldn’t have said "the lipstick’s slogan" earlier!

Lin Nianhe paused, stretched out her hand: "Give me the ice pop money."

Sie Yufei: "..."

So when she’s exposed, she demands payment!

Sie Yufei habitually slapped Lin Nianhe’s hand but was about to say "give you nothing" when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He didn’t dare look back, quietly stated: "Xiao He, actually, I think having just one slogan is really good: simple, memorable, meaningful... plus, for someone studying physics, coming up with such a fitting slogan is really impressive, hahaha, I’m off to work!"

Director Sie quickly slipped away, not for the sake of ice pop money.

Lin Nianhe stepped back three paces, stopping beside Su Yuncheng, asking him: "Brother Yuncheng, where did you go?"

"I had a chat with Elder Shen." Su Yuncheng shielded her from the sun.

The news of Su Yuncheng’s visit to Xiangjiang was kept to the utmost secrecy; most of the Shen Family believed he was Lin Nianhe’s classmate, not even knowing his name.

Lin Nianhe maintained her composure, glancing in the direction of Sie Yufei, lowly asking: "Did the talk go well?"

Su Yuncheng nodded slightly: "Quite well."

"That’s good." Lin Nianhe relaxed a bit, she intended to ask more when she spotted Uncle Mao heading her way from afar, swallowing her words back.

Uncle Mao approached with a smile: "Miss Lin, Young Master Hongzun’s phone call, please come answer."

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Nianhe’s eyes lit up, promptly followed Uncle Mao to answer the call.
