At the end of the movie, it was almost time to go to school.
Stepping out of the unit’s door, Lu Lu was waiting there.
Bai Jinyan hadn’t been going to the company for the past few days, so any work arrangements for Lu Lu were usually during their commute.
Lu Lu sat in the passenger seat and handed over a new script, saying, “Brother Bai, these are a few recent ones we’ve picked out. They’ve all been reviewed and are said to be good. See if there’s anything you like.”
Apart from scripts, there were many other things too.
A stack of file folders were passed to the back, “There are also a few luxury brand endorsements. These are the new designs from a high-end brand, and they’ve offered quite a few perks. They’re considering having you try them on for the next red carpet, although it wasn’t explicitly stated. My agent and I analyzed it, and it does seem to be the case.”
For some matters Lu Lu wasn’t sure about, they would discuss it with the agent first, and decisions would proceed only when both of their opinions aligned.
With Bai Jinyan’s title as a dual-award-winning actor, the company didn’t do any promotion, yet it was trending all over the place.
Just overnight, there were countless advertising endorsements that came in.
Lu Lu’s phone was almost overwhelmed.
He had even prepared two phone numbers beforehand, but with Bai Jinyan’s dual-award-winning status confirmed, both phones couldn’t handle the influx. One crashed on the spot, and the other struggled to keep up.
Some brands tried to entice Bai Jinyan to endorse their products with high endorsement fees.
However, for brands like these, they would reject them directly at the initial selection stage from the assistant’s hands, without passing them on.
“By the way, Dedcuis… It’s the brand from the last red carpet where you and Qiao Huaiyao wore those two outfits together, it’s this brand.”
Qiao Huaiyao asked, “Is this for endorsement too?”
Lu Lu nodded, “It’s almost winter now, and their brand has new products for the winter that they want you to try on.”
Bai Jinyan said plainly, “Not interested.”
“It’s the kind of co-designed for couples.” Lu Lu explained a bit more, feeling that this term was a bit vague. He added, “Maybe because the discussion about deep blue and light blue was popular, so they decided to come up with this design, officially recognized as two sets.”
Bai Jinyan lightly tapped the script with his fingertip, raising half an eyebrow, “Send me the finished product.”
Lu Lu promptly responded, “Alright.”
He guessed Bai Jinyan might be interested in this, so he didn’t decline. He even fought to keep it when the higher-ups were hesitant.
There were many high-end designs, but having two officially stamped male high-end designs was definitely a first in the industry.
If it were before, Lu Lu wouldn’t have fought to keep this brand.
But now, it was the smartest choice to secure it.
Lu Lu spoke rapidly but clearly, and the important work was summarized in the most efficient way in this short trip.
When they got off the car, the script and other document folders were left in the car.
Lu Lu stayed back, organizing the scripts Bai Jinyan had selected and putting away the ones he hadn’t seen yet, feeling regretful that Bai Jinyan couldn’t participate—
It was the first time Qiao Huaiyao had come to Bai Jinyan’s school.
The facilities in universities were probably similar, but the appearance of the academic buildings differed noticeably.
Although it was the holiday season, there were still many students who hadn’t gone home.
Qiao Huaiyao lowered the brim of his cap and admired the scenery within the school as he walked.
As the weather got colder, many students were wearing hats, so they didn’t stand out much.
Plus, many students were in a hurry, and they wouldn’t stop to look around.
Bai Jinyan held his hand, feeling a bit cold, so he grasped his fingertips. “I might take a bit longer inside later. Would you like to wait for me in the dorm?”
Qiao Huaiyao said, “It’s not necessary.”
Just looking at the map, the dormitory building was behind the academic building.
Going to the dormitory would be the same as waiting at home.
At home, Bai Jinyan would save a trip to the dormitory to find him.
Qiao Huaiyao gently shook the hand they were holding, casually saying, “Just focus on your work.”
Always make Bai Jinyan come out, so he could see him at first sight.
Walking into the corridor, he looked out from the left window, and there was a large basketball court.
Many people were playing basketball there.
Qiao Huaiyao hadn’t touched a basketball for a long time, and looking at the students playing, he pulled Bai Jinyan’s clothes and said, “After you’re done, let’s go play basketball.”
He paused and added, “Just the two of us.”
When Bai Jinyan heard this, he seemed to think of something, a smile in his eyes. He said with a meaningful tone, “Not easy to play.”
“Not easy to play…?” Qiao Huaiyao looked at him puzzledly. Seeing Bai Jinyan smiling, he couldn’t help but curl his lips and ask, “Why is it not easy to play?”
Wouldn’t it be simpler with just the two of them playing?
It would also avoid collisions with a lot of people.
Bai Jinyan lightly chuckled and said, “When you’re standing in front of me, I want to shoot the ball into my own basket.”
