Lin Jingzhe and Zhu Youlin walked out of the building and stood in the sun.

"This autumn heat is quite severe." Zhu Youlin pointed to the shade of the trees ahead and said, "Let's go under the shade. I made a call, and the reporter is still on the way. We'll go to the cafe later."

"Okay!" Lin Jingzhe responded with a smile, standing under the shade of the tree and looking at the blue sky, with occasional clouds floating by.

Zhu Youlin said with emotion, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." She tilted her head slightly and looked at the mottled sunlight falling on her body. "I thought it would take a long time!"

"Why? Distribution of benefits?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his bright peach blossom eyes.

"That's right! I earned the gold medal through my own hard work. The team got so many, and I feel uncomfortable, so I'm just deadlocked." Zhu Youlin looked at her with her deep, penetrating eyes and said, "You're so decisive."

"Don't forget your roots." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his glazed eyes and said, "Without the country's cultivation, I wouldn't be who I am today!"

"People are very different." Zhu Youlin looked at her gently and said.

Lin Jingzhe's amber pupils were bright and dazzling as he looked at her with an innocent smile and said, "I'm very satisfied with this split. Korean entertainment is very exploitative, with a ratio of one to nine."

"You really are, can this be compared?" Zhu Youlin was stunned when she heard this, then said with a smile.

"Almost the same, exactly the same." Lin Jingzhe's bright eyes were like amber, shining with charming luster.

Lin Jingzhe looked at her curiously with his sparkling eyes and asked, "Have a lot of endorsements come to me?"

"There are so many! This is after the selection process. Some companies are so unknown that I've never even heard of them, so they were directly rejected." Zhu Youlin looked at her with deep eyes and said, "I'm worried about affecting you, and I'm even more worried about encountering scammers."

"I've seen these advertised on TV. Some are even big brands. The quality is guaranteed." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with eyes as clear as the autumn sky and said, "I just didn't expect there were so many. I was the one choosing so quickly."

"You're doing great! It wasn't long after you won your first gold medal, but by the time you got your sixth, our phone was practically ringing off the hook." Zhu Youlin smiled at her and said, "I'm just curious. Why didn't you choose some sportswear? They're bigger brands than the ones you chose."

"How should I put it? His registered place is a tax haven." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with a slightly cold look in his eyes and said, "He's not in China."

"Ah!" Zhu Youlin stared at her in astonishment, "Is this a reason?"

"Of course not!" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with pure eyes and said, "Do I have to pay taxes?"

"There are tax-free categories, so you basically don't have to pay any tax." Zhu Youlin looked at her with her bright almond-shaped eyes. "Bonuses above the provincial level are exempt from personal income tax, but government awards below the provincial level are subject to personal income tax." She smiled and said, "You declined the company's bonus, so there's no tax to pay." After a moment's thought, she said, "As for endorsements, there are pre-tax and post-tax rates. This is the result of your discussion with the company." She looked at her with amusement and said, "Few people are so eager to pay taxes, and some even try to evade them."

"Obey the law." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his crystal clear eyes.

"Why don't you choose to sponsor our clothing?" Zhu Youlin quickly said, "I'm just curious."

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his picturesque eyes.

"Of course it's true." Zhu Youlin said, looking at her with a smile.

"His place of registration is Hong Kong." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his deep and dark eyes like gemstones.

"This..." Zhu Youlin looked at her with her jaw clenched.

"Tell me honestly, did you have a pleasant trip to Hong Kong after winning the Olympic gold medal?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with eyes as deep and pure as the sea.

"Uh..." Zhu Youlin closed her lips tightly when she heard that, and looked at her with her deep and dark eyes.

"You don't look very happy!" Lin Jingzhe said to her with his bright and deep eyes.

"They look down on us," Zhu Youlin said vaguely. "It's a political mission. Just look at it and remember the organizational discipline."

"That's it, birds of a feather flock together. I don't like the idea of ​​Olympic athletes becoming Hong Kong citizens," Lin Jingzhe said bluntly, curling his lips. "Plus, the clothing he sponsors is really not very good. Let's not talk about the design. The quality is really terrible. It doesn't absorb sweat at all, and the shoes are said to puncture the athletes' feet." He snorted coldly, "It's strange that he can still sponsor them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youlin rubbed her nose with her index finger and avoided her gaze uncomfortably.

"I understand." Lin Jingzhe nodded in understanding and said meaningfully, "The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships and worldly wisdom."

"You!" Zhu Youlin looked at her lovingly and said, "They're all endorsing internationally renowned sports brands, but you're endorsing a domestic sports brand. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Lin Jingzhe's dark, grape-like eyes reflected the dappled sunlight. He looked at her calmly and said, "Don't be afraid! Everyone has their own aspirations."

"Can you sign this endorsement yourself?" Zhu Youlin looked at her worriedly and said, "Other people have teams who work tirelessly for you. Do you want to do this yourself?"

"Hire a lawyer." Lin Jingzhe said straightforwardly.

Zhu Youlin smiled and said, "With a lawyer here, I won't be cheated."

"Yes!" Lin Jingzhe nodded with a smile.

"Ding-ling-ling..." Zhu Youlin's phone rang. She picked up the phone from her chest and checked the caller ID. "Let's go! The reporters are waiting for us in the cafe!"

The two walked to the coffee shop and saw the reporter and cameraman from a distance. "Do we want to interview now?"

"No!" Zhu Youlin said with a smile, "We have to go to the main station for the interview. Let's review the questions now. You can call it a rehearsal." He took her hand and shook it, saying, "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid! I'm just not used to it." Lin Jingzhe shook her hand and said.

"Don't you always have an interview after the game?" Zhu Youlin glanced at her with gentle eyes and said, "Did you answer well?"

"The same old post-match speeches. How do you feel about winning the gold medal? Or is there anything you want to say to your family in front of the screen?" Lin Jingzhe pouted and said, "The answers are pretty standard."

"Haha..." Zhu Youlin looked at her amusedly and said, "Why else would you ask them?"

"Uh..." Lin Jingzhe thought for a moment and said, "It's better to ask this. Asking strange questions and giving inappropriate answers will only make things worse."

The reporter stood up when she saw them coming, shook hands with them, introduced herself, and then sat down.

"You're so tall!" The reporter said in surprise, looking at Lin Jingzhe. In front of her, she became petite and delicate.
