Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Niu Chunsheng was just about to go open the door when he turned back and said a sentence to Wang Xiaohua:

"Right, don't tell my wife about this matter. I'm afraid if she hears I'm giving you this much endorsement fee, she'll be unhappy."

Wang Xiaohua gave a bitter smile and nodded.

The two walked out of the room together, and Niu Chunsheng said to Niu Linxin:

"Lin Xin, Xiaohua has to go out with me this morning. When Xiaoqian arrives later, you study together with her. I'll tutor you both when Xiaohua returns in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Niu Linxin immediately became overjoyed:

"Great, great! Then you two hurry there and hurry back — no, hurry there and take your time coming back. It's fine even if you don't come back this afternoon. I'll definitely study hard on my own!"

"You little girl, don't think I don't know what little schemes you've got. Study properly, or you'll regret it in the future!"

Although Niu Chunsheng spoke like this, his eyes were filled with doting affection for Niu Linxin.

Lin Xiaofang had just finished washing the bowls and returned to the living room, discovering Niu Chunsheng was taking Wang Xiaohua away. She couldn't help but ask:

"Where are you going?"

Niu Chunsheng gave an evasive answer:

"Going out to handle some business. We'll be back very soon."

Lin Xiaofang was somewhat unhappy. Just now Niu Chunsheng had taken Wang Xiaohua into the room to whisper, which already made her feel Niu Chunsheng was hiding something from her.

"What business? Speak clearly."

Lin Xiaofang directly questioned him.

Niu Chunsheng could only hurriedly lie:

"County Magistrate Xiao just called me, asking me to take Xiaohua to meet her. Could I possibly refuse?"

Hearing Niu Chunsheng's explanation, Lin Xiaofang felt it made some sense, but she still pursued the matter:

"What does County Magistrate Xiao want with Xiaohua?"

Niu Chunsheng said:

"Who knows? They only told me to bring Xiaohua over, didn't tell me what for. I wouldn't dare ask too many questions either. Maybe they want to build a good relationship with Xiaohua."

Lin Xiaofang could only say:

"Then you two hurry there and hurry back."

Niu Chunsheng replied with a smile:

"Didn't I just say? We'll be back by noon!"

Then he turned back to Wang Xiaohua and said:

"Xiaohua, let's go!"

Niu Chunsheng took Wang Xiaohua, took the elevator to basement level one, drove his BMW, and headed for Spring City Real Estate Company.

On the way, Wang Xiaohua said weakly:

"Uncle Chunseng, hiding this from Aunt Xiaofang isn't right. If she finds out about this one day, it'll probably cause quite a conflict."

Niu Chunsheng dismissed it with a smile:

"No problem. By the time she discovers it, my Spring City Real Estate will already be up and running. As long as I can make money, what complaints can she have?"

Niu Chunsheng drove while saying to Wang Xiaohua:

"Xiaohua, remember this. Women are emotional creatures, not rational ones. Reasoning with them is useless. You have to provide them emotional value. And what is the greatest emotional value for a woman? Naturally, it's being able to make money."

Wang Xiaohua had to admit Niu Chunsheng's words were right.

As the saying goes: poor couples face a hundred sorrows.

The fundamental reason his parents argued and didn't get along was still because the family was poor.

Niu Chunsheng added:

"Xiaohua, maybe as a cultured person you feel talking about money is vulgar, even resent and reject money. But I still have to tell you — money can solve ninety-nine percent of the world's problems. Knowing how to make money is truly important in this society. Most importantly, money gives people confidence, elevates personal temperament, and compensates for all kinds of deficiencies in one's external conditions."

Wang Xiaohua felt that even if he had more money, it probably couldn't change the fact of his short stature.

But he was still very grateful Niu Chunsheng would say these things to him:

"Thank you, Uncle Chunseng."

From childhood to now, what his parents told him was always to study hard, be an upright person, and only then would he have a promising future.

They never talked about making money, even shied away from discussing money.

Yet they didn't realize money is an indispensable part of social life. If a person can't see the essence of money in this lifetime, it's impossible to make money.

But this isn't their fault either. They simply lacked the ability to make money, so naturally they had no understanding of money.

Soon, Wang Xiaohua followed Niu Chunsheng and arrived at Spring City Real Estate.

Since Spring City Real Estate had only been established recently, the company wasn't yet complete and didn't have a dedicated legal department.

Niu Chunsheng called a lawyer friend to come over.

Had that lawyer help draft the contract.

The lawyer found some contract templates online, modified them, then showed them to Niu Chunsheng for review.

Niu Chunsheng felt it was fine, so he had Wang Xiaohua sign.

"You look over the contract first. If there's no problem, sign it. After signing, I'll give you fifty thousand first. The remaining hundred thousand I'll pay after the work is completed."

"Okay, Uncle Chunseng."

Wang Xiaohua browsed through the contract.

The contract's general content was: using 150,000 yuan to exclusively purchase Wang Xiaohua's commercial portrait rights within the city scope, with a contract validity period of one year.

After Wang Xiaohua signed this contract, he could no longer arbitrarily use his own portrait for commercial purposes.

Additionally, if other companies unauthorizedly used Wang Xiaohua's portrait rights, Spring City Real Estate had the right to pursue their responsibility.

This contract was fairly reasonable.

Equivalent to 150,000 yuan hiring Wang Xiaohua for an exclusive endorsement for one year.

The reason Niu Chunsheng only signed Wang Xiaohua for one year was because after one year, after the heat of Wang Xiaohua being the Top Scorer in the college entrance exam passed, there would be no promotional effect anymore.

Additionally, what he wanted was the commercial usage rights within the city scope, not nationwide or global scope; the reason was also very simple, because Wang Xiaohua, this County Top Scholar, once out of this city, basically had no fame.

Moreover, his Spring City Real Estate Company only operated in this small County Town; as long as he had the usage rights within the city scope, it was completely enough.

After Wang Xiaohua finished reading the contract, he felt there were no major issues.

Although he knew Niu Chunsheng was suspected of using him, if Niu Chunsheng could bring him benefits while using him, that was still acceptable.

So in the end he signed the contract.

When signing the contract, a bank card account had to be filled in.

Wang Xiaohua currently still had no bank card; Niu Chunsheng asked him whether to use his parents' bank card, or go open a bank card himself?

Wang Xiaohua's parents actually also had no bank card; they had always used the Rural Cooperative's passbook, so Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment, then decided to go open a bank card.

"Alright, then I'll take you to get a bank card now; did you bring your ID card with you?"

"I brought it."

Niu Chunsheng carried Wang Xiaohua, rushing to the bank without stopping.

At that time the bank was still vigorously promoting bank cards; opening a new card was very easy, not like now with so many restrictions, so in less than an hour, Wang Xiaohua got the bank card processed.

After returning to Spring City Real Estate, Niu Chunsheng had Finance pay Wang Xiaohua a 50,000 deposit.

After 50,000 was deducted for tax, what arrived in Wang Xiaohua's account was only a little over 40,000.

Wang Xiaohua didn't quite understand, and thought they gave too little; only after asking did he learn that this belonged to labor remuneration, and since the amount was relatively large, after deducting the deduction base, 20% tax had to be deducted.
