Quite awkward

On New Year's Eve, A Dan was going back to celebrate the New Year. He wanted to see Qi Yu again.

Xu Yan turned down the offer on Qi Yu's behalf with a cold face.

Dan said with a smile, "I know you don't agree with us being together, but I've given up on it. This time I want to find a beautiful woman to discuss cooperation with."

“What cooperation?”

"The other day the photographer captured a beautiful girl's profile, and I really liked it, so I wanted to ask her if I could use it on the album cover."

Xu Yan still had a stern face: "How much money can you give her?"

"Is two hundred thousand enough?"

"Five hundred thousand, maybe."

Adam chuckled and shook his head, thinking of it as paying for a woman's beauty.

Anyway, his album is selling well and he will make the money back soon.

"make a deal!"

"What the hell? I still have to ask her if she agrees."

Afterwards, Xu Yan urged A Dan to get in the car and leave Linjiang quickly so as not to be late for returning home for the New Year's Eve dinner.

After seeing A Dan off, Xu Yan returned to his hotel and bought some imported fruits and snacks for Qi Yu.

She also mentioned in passing that Adam wanted to buy her photo for the album cover.

"Forget it." Qi Yu refused softly.

On the day she went to the music festival, she only darkened her eyebrows and applied nude lipstick, a very simple and plain makeup. She didn't think this side profile photo was very good-looking, it just happened to show her clear and soft side face lines, without enough highlights.

Xu Yan paused, but still finished what he said.

"Adan's album is a huge hit. You went to the music festival and know how popular he is. He wants to spend $500,000 to buy the portrait rights for this profile photo of you. Please consider it."

what?

Half a million?

When Qi Yu first heard this, she thought it was only worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. It turned out that a side profile photo of her was worth 500,000 yuan!

She was so moved that she immediately changed her mind.

“When will the settlement be made?”

“Right now.”

Xu Yan could immediately order Adam to transfer the money to show his sincerity.

We’ll talk about signing the contract later.

……

On New Year's Eve, a huge sum of money suddenly appeared in Qi Yu's account, and she immediately shared the good news with Xiang Wei.

While Xiang Wei was happy for her, she was also worried about A Dan, a dangerous man.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Qi Yu and A Dan have met three times in total.

Drinks at the bar, breakfast at the restaurant, and a music festival.

When the two were face to face, he never verbally harassed her, but he was a little frivolous and rude in his Weibo comments that day.

Xu Yan once assured Qi Yu that A Dan only had a business partnership with her and would never harass her in the future.

Qi Yu believed in Xu Yan's character and thanked him generously for facilitating this cooperation and allowing her to make money.

Xu Yan said politely that it was just a small favor.

Late in the night of New Year's Eve, just before midnight, Qi Yu received a call from Mu Yanqing.

"Ayu, I'll stay with you for the last few minutes."

"OK."

Qi Yu was in a good mood today, so he was not shy in answering the international call.

She smiled and shared with him the big meal they had at the hotel tonight, which was no worse than other people's New Year's Eve dinner.

"I still have a box of Rainier cherries in my room that a friend gave me. I also have spicy duck food and all kinds of snacks. I can't finish them all."

Mu Yanqing felt a little comforted when he heard her happy voice. He sighed softly and said, "That's good. I was worried that you would be sad and lonely."

“No, I’m very happy today.”

As for what made her happy, she kept it a secret and didn't want to say.

Mu Yanqing checked the time on his watch and congratulated him at the right time: "Ayu, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year."

Qi Yu excitedly replied: "Happy New Year, may you make a fortune, and may your family be happy and fulfilled!"

"Ayu, I'm not in China this year, so I sent you a red envelope. It's not much, so please keep it."

He used to give Qi Yu a red envelope every Chinese New Year, so this year was no exception.

"Brother, I already have a job, I really don't need red envelopes."

"Be obedient and keep it." Mu Yanqing's voice was gentle, but with a sense of oppression from his brother's sternness.
