"Goodbye!"
...
After hanging up the call, Wang Yan noticed that Zhang Yang’s gaze seed a bit different towards him.
Feeling a bit guilty, Wang Yan touched his nose and said, "What’s up? Why are you looking at like that? Is there dirt on my face?"
Zhang Yang’s lips curled up as he comnted, "I must say, you and YOYO could probably be those kinds of soulmates who can dive deep into conversations.
That girl looks quite professional when hosting on stage, but I didn’t expect her to feel completely different offline. How should I describe her? So... so pure!"
"Haha, that’s right! Society knows your Brother Yan’s status and insight! Just one look and I could tell she’s like a spring water kind of girl!"
Wang Yan imdiately shook with pride, his face full of arrogance.
"Since she’s your type, don’t miss the opportunity on this business trip! Be bold, and when the ti’s right, hold her hand and define the relationship! Aim to win her over on this trip!"
"Absolutely! I feel like the timing is just about right!"
...
The next morning, Wang Yan received a call from YOYO. She had cleared it with her leaders, and said they could et anyti after work on Monday through internal business channels.
Having confird the collaboration, Wang Yan quickly booked his flight and set off.
Wang Yan was used to traveling to other places to fish and film videos, but going to sign a contract with a TV station as a company representative was a first for him. Quickly packing so personal items, he dragged his suitcase along and left.
The company booked a business class ticket for a flight that took off a little after nine in the morning, landing two and a half hours later.
"Over here, Brother Yan!!!"
Just as he walked out of the terminal, Zhang Yang spotted a petite girl with a big mask and a ponytail waving vigorously at him.
YOYO had co to pick him up in person.
"Didn’t I tell you I could just grab a cab after landing? You really didn’t have to co all the way!" Wang Yan was happy, though he said otherwise, his body showed rather honestly.
"No way, you visiting Changsha makes the host! I must make sure you’re well taken care of! Hurry up and get in the car, I’ll first take you to the hotel to settle down, then we’ll go eat! We can go to the station later in the afternoon."
As she spoke, not far away a compact pink off-road Jimny lit up its lights at a parking spot. The girl’s ride was as low-profile and capable as she was.
Wang Yan put his luggage in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat. YOYO hit the gas and drove straight from the airport road towards the city hotel.
Have to say, girls’ cars are different from guys’ like Zhang Yang’s, even though his was relatively tidy, it always had a bit of bait and fishing dicine sll.
On the other hand, YOYO’s car had a faint perfu scent that was quite alluring. Wang Yan squinted his eyes, his gaze tracing the scenery passing outside the window, his mind drifting off.
"Hey! What are you thinking? I asked you what you’d like to eat, my treat!" YOYO shouted.
"Huh? Oh! Nothing, the outside’s pretty! Your car slls so nice!" Wang Yan blurted out what he was thinking without processing.
"Goodness, what are you thinking! You’re so annoying!" YOYO’s cheeks flushed, flustered by the complint on her car’s fragrance.
"No need to go through too much trouble, just find a fast food place to grab a bite! When we’re out filming, we’re often so busy that a packed al suffices! I’m not picky!"
"By the way, I ntioned it to our manager Lao Qian.
His idea is to offer so discounts if we’re signing a long-term contract, but if it’s a one-off collaboration the price would be what I ntioned to you before!
The filming and production period would be within a week, with the airing schedule starting from the first of next month for a whole month!
Oh, and we’d need a company representative to appear on cara and shoot several different versions of video material!
The script will be handled by soone professional, you just need to familiarize yourself with it and perform naturally!"
"No problem, before I ca, our leader had said the advertising collaboration was entirely entrusted to ! Once the contract is signed, our company can wire the money imdiately!
As for whether it’ll be long-term or short-term, we’ll start with a short-term trial to see the results first. If the ad performs well, long-term collaboration isn’t impossible!"
"It’s fine to tell that, but when you et with our manager, don’t say that! He’ll definitely urge you to sign a long-term contract!"
"Why? Is your station in desperate need of advertisers?"
"Not just desperate, extrely desperate!
At the end of last year, several high-level leaders at the station retired, Lao Qian from the sales departnt has both the seniority and capability, now he’s looking to advance further, and he needs performance support!
I’m pulling ad contracts mainly for better salary and benefits. As for rank, it doesn’t really matter, I’m just a small worker at the station, my work remains the sa.
But it’s different for him. If he can get promoted, his influence would be incomparable!"
YOYO, like a spy, shared a complete, unabashed view of her company’s inner workings with Wang Yan.
Hearing this, Wang Yan was taken aback, asking, "This Lao Qian you’re talking about, if he gets promoted, what’s his rank?"
"Deputy Station Director! Very impressive!"
"Got it! I’ll see about coordinating with him later this afternoon and make a decision then!
Actually, you know a bit about our company’s situation, our self-dia account network is very mature, with our accounts having millions of combined followers online, we don’t really rely on TV ads.
Since Lao Qian has needs, negotiations could possibly yield concessions!"
"Um... are you really thinking about discussing a long-term contract?"
Hearing this, YOYO’s tone changed.
A one-off collaboration is one thing, a long-term contract is another. Long-term partners often beco strategic cooperative brands with the station, whose comrcial value is distinct from one-off ad placents.
Applying this to a salesperson’s logic, one-off ads are like small retail batches. A long-term contract, that’s akin to wholesale."
"If we could negotiate a suitable range, long-term isn’t out of the question! We have enough leverage, and if Lao Qian is sincere enough to make concessions, I can discuss it with the captain!"
"Captain? You an Zhang Yang?"
"Yes, Zhang Yang is our company’s actual controller and our team leader! He’s both my boss and my brother!
This ti I was sent under the guise of signing an ad contract, but really it’s about resolving Comrade YOYO’s titles and benefits!"
"Oh dear, you..."
At these words, YOYO’s face instantly turned red.
With everything said this plainly, even a blockhead would get it by now.
"What?" Wang Yan played dumb, deliberately teasing the girl driving next to him.
"In truth... I wanted to ssage you on WeChat to urge this. I’m quite anxious about the contract, but I thought since we’re just acquaintances, I wasn’t comfortable pushing you!" YOYO said earnestly.
"And then? What are you trying to say?"
"I just want to say I’m not the kind of person who would compromise my principles for a goal!" YOYO seed to have gathered her courage and said bravely.
"Hahaha... It’s just a normal business cooperation, why? Signing a contract isn’t a marriage contract! You’re overthinking this!"
Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud at this, finding the little girl very amusing.
"If you sign the contract and help with the benefits issue, I’ll owe you a personal favor, deal?"
"Deal! No problem! However you say goes! Didn’t I just say, the true motivation for this matter lies with you, not your TV station!" Wang Yan spread his hands, not hesitating one bit.
"Does saying that count as confessing to ?"
YOYO suddenly braked the car to the side of the road, her pretty eyes staring directly at Wang Yan, determined not to miss a single detail.
Wang Yan wasn’t usually one to back down either, and at this crucial mont, he finally mustered his courage.
"Yes! My mission this ti is to sort things out with you! YOYO, I really like you, be my girlfriend!"
