After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 42 Model or Celebrity?

"Here you are, Jiang Zi."

Xu Ruirui and Zhang Jie were chatting in the room when Chen Jiang pushed the door open and entered. They stopped talking and greeted him.

Chen Jiang glanced at the two mannequins on the sofa with some confusion, finding them somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them here before when he came here.

"What's going on this time, sister-in-law?"

Xu Ruirui explained:

"Nothing much, it's just that as a shareholder of the company, you don't usually get involved in anything, but as someone who works for you, I have to show you what kind of work we usually do."

"I only own some shares, I'm not the boss..."

Chen Jiang sighed and sat down on a chair. He then looked at Zhang Jie and said, "Besides, Brother Jie, you're not at work. How come I see you here again?"

Zhang Jie crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"If I have no work to do, then I'll just be idle."

"Your sister-in-law has been a bit busy lately, so I came to help out. Do you think I'm all alone like you?"

Xu Ruirui interjected with a smile:

"By the way, this job is a collaboration with a Japanese modeling agency."

"I signed a letter of intent with them a while ago, but something went wrong and things didn't go smoothly. Now that the problem has been resolved, I've renewed the contract."

"A Japanese modeling agency?" Chen Jiang was a little surprised. "What kind of collaboration do they have with us?"

"They just want to make money in China..." Xu Ruirui said unsurprised, "There are plenty of companies eyeing the Dongda Market these days, and this company is one of them."

"However, this company seems to be quite famous in Japan. They've made many models famous. If I weren't familiar with their director, I probably wouldn't have been able to secure this contract."

"I see..." Chen Jiang nodded, but still didn't quite understand: "But sister-in-law, aren't we a modeling agency ourselves? What kind of cooperation do we have with them?"

"Yeah... but some bosses just like Japanese models..." Xu Ruirui chuckled, lightly tapping the table with her hand. "So it doesn't matter who makes the money, we should definitely take it."

"However, our company is actually responsible for the domestic liaison. They provide the personnel, and we are responsible for contacting partners and providing venues, as well as providing necessary support, and then we take a cut from the profits."

"Actually, it's not much different from being a regular model, except there are a few more troubles in the process."

"I understand now."

Chen Jiang finally understood. It was simply that some people thought imported fruits were better and would rather spend more money than buy domestic fruits.

"So what's the deal with this collaboration?"

"This is our first collaboration, so it's more of an experiment and a period of adjustment. I chose a regular client's project to shoot a short film. We need three models, one from their side and two from our side... It'll probably take two or three days to shoot."

"How much is the price?" Chen Jiang continued to ask.

"As for the price..." Xu Ruirui smiled lightly, glancing at the two models over there, but she didn't hide anything: "After all, it's our first time working together, so I specifically found someone with a very high salary."

"The one million reward does not include the filming fee. We take 50%, the Japanese side takes 25%, and the rest is split between the model and the agent."

Chen Jiang quickly did a mental calculation:

"So...we only made 50 this time?"

"So, the Japanese model only received 20 yuan after traveling all the way across the ocean?"

Xu Ruirui felt a little helpless upon hearing this:

"Don't treat hundreds of thousands like it's nothing... This amount is really not small."

"They earn far more than they would in their home country... After all, you have to look at not only the price, but also the workload and working hours."

"Shooting the short film wasn't too strenuous, just two to three days, which works out to almost 100,000 a day. This is a huge job that even top A-list models rarely get... If it weren't for my extensive network and my silver tongue that found a sucker, do you think we would have gotten this job?"

"After all, think about it, how much is our company really worth? Models don't earn as much as you think."

"If that's the case... then it makes sense..." Chen Jiang realized as he listened. His views on wealth had been shaken a bit these past few days, and he had forgotten his roots.

A daily wage of 100,000 is top-tier in any industry. He would have been ecstatic if he could have earned that much money before.

"I roughly understand now..." Chen Jiang nodded, then asked, "So, if Brother Jie and I go over there, we'll just be keeping an eye on the filming, right? But Sister-in-law, I have to go to Shanghai in a day or two, so I might not have time."

What are you going to Shanghai for?

The one who asked the question was Zhang Jie, who walked over and put his arm around Chen Jiang's shoulder: "So, you've got a little money and you start eating, drinking, and having fun, huh?"

Chen Jiang replied helplessly:

"Well, not really... it was a bit of a surprise. I ran into my dad's comrade-in-arms a few days ago."

"He's doing well in his career, so he found me a job too. I'm going to go check it out, but I'll probably only stay for a few days before coming back."

"Oh? That's a good thing?"

Zhang Jie, of course, never expected it to be so delicious, and patted Chen Jiang on the shoulder, happy for him.

"It's alright, I didn't expect you to do anything anyway. There are people in our company keeping an eye on this collaboration." Although she was a little surprised, Xu Ruirui thought it was a minor matter. In fact, the main reason she called Chen Jiang over was because of one thing.

"The reason I asked you to go and see this is because the Japanese side told me that the model they sent for this collaboration is a very famous model in Japan... and besides being a model, she's also a celebrity."

As she spoke, Xu Ruirui gave Chen Jiang a look.

Although he didn't say anything, for some reason, Chen Jiang saw the phrase "Sister-in-law has done her best, the rest is up to you" in it... So you invited him here to pimp, right?

"Alright..."

Chen Jiang looked up at the sky and sighed, then immediately agreed.

She's both a celebrity and a model, which made him a little tempted.

Well, he wasn't going there to see Japanese female models this time. As a company shareholder, he was simply concerned about the company's contracts. Such a big deal couldn't afford any mistakes!

Without further ado, he stood up:

"Shall we go then?"

"No need to rush." ​​Xu Ruirui called out to Chen Jiang, who was getting a little restless, and was somewhat amused and exasperated by his sudden enthusiasm: "The person is still on the plane, you'll have to pick them up later."

"Hey, I thought we were already here." Chen Jiang was speechless.

"But it's about time...you'll still be a while before you get to the airport." Xu Ruirui glanced at her watch again, then stood up and said to Chen Jiang and Zhang Jie:

"Then you two go pick them up. I'll take the two of them to the venue first to see how the preparations are going."

"Once you've picked up the person, just come to the site and meet us. Remember to let me know in advance."
