Chapter 173: 180. Setting the Endorsement in Three Sentences

PS: The chapter title is incorrect; it is Chapter 170! I cannot modify it for the time being. I apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding!

After Ning Qing received another call from Zhang Ran, she was no longer as surprised as she had been at the beginning, so she made the arrangements very quickly.

Moreover, Ning Qing felt more and more that her move to befriend Zhang Ran was absolutely correct!

This time it was still a draw, but whether it was because of Cheng Yi's good luck, she was the one drawn again.

After the traffic influx from Prince Haiman last time, Cheng Yi's follower count skyrocketed. After all, she was a streamer who had livestreamed with Prince Haiman; this title alone was enough to attract many fans.

Furthermore, Cheng Yi was very pretty and her gaming skills were quite good, so gaining fans was a very normal thing.

Next, the matter of Fang Hua livestreaming the game made Cheng Yi popular once again, and at the same time, it caused the download count for the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to soar once more.

However, what many people were more curious about was the "Mr. Zhang" mentioned by Fang Hua in the voice chat, and at this moment, everyone also realized that this Mr. Zhang should be the same Zhang Ran who played games with Prince Haiman.

Now everyone became even more curious about this mysterious Mr. Zhang. Just what kind of divine person was he?

How did he know such big shots?

And they were all even willing to accompany him to play games!

Some capable people soon tracked it down to Biaoxue Game Company; after all, the purpose of this mysterious Mr. Zhang these two times was very obvious, which was to promote the game.

After all, if it were just purely playing games, there would be no need to livestream at all; how much better it would be for two people to play quietly at home.

Very quickly, someone found out that the legal representative of Biaoxue Company was named Zhang Sicheng, who also had the surname Zhang.

So some people linked Zhang Sicheng with this mysterious Mr. Zhang, but this conclusion was also quickly overturned.

The age didn't match; Zhang Sicheng hadn't even been born in '88, and there was also an age gap with Prince Haiman.

From the conversation between Prince Haiman and the mysterious Mr. Zhang, it could be heard that the two of them had known each other since Prince Haiman was young.

However, even so, everyone knew that Zhang Sicheng must have some connection with this mysterious Mr. Zhang, otherwise this mysterious Mr. Zhang wouldn't be helping him so much.

The exposure of Zhang Sicheng also caused the fame of Biaoxue Company to rise significantly, and at the same time, it had a better effect on the promotion of the game.

The discussion on the internet about the mysterious Mr. Zhang never ceased, but what disappointed many people was that absolutely no one exposed the true identity of this mysterious Mr. Zhang; those who knew wouldn't say, and those who didn't know couldn't guess.

Zhang Ran only played games with Fang Hua for two or three hours, and stopped after the promotional effect was achieved.

At noon, Fang Hua stayed at Zhang Ran's house for a meal. At the dining table, Fang Hua took the initiative to say, "Brother Zhang, Siyan mentioned last time that her company wanted to invite me to be their spokesperson?"

Zhang Ran's actual age was about the same as Fang Hua's, so to show closeness, Fang Hua also took the initiative to call Zhang Ran "Brother Zhang."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Zhou Min and Zhang Siyan lit up instantly, and they looked at Fang Hua with eager anticipation. If Fang Hua could be the spokesperson for their new product, that would be a very pleasant surprise for them.

"It seems there is such a thing. Are you interested?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Fang Hua nodded and said, "I haven't taken any advertisements for so many years. Taking one now is just right to maintain some exposure, and I trust a company as big as Kangshilan."

The reason why Fang Hua hadn't taken advertisements for such a long time was partly due to his own reasons, but another part was because the current products had too much "water" in them, and if even a slight issue arose, it would affect his own image.

For the current Fang Hua, this was completely not worth it.

"Then I will thank you here first," Zhang Ran said, raising his glass.

"It's nothing. After all, you helped me with such a big favor back then, and me doing this is just doing a little something within my power," Fang Hua said with a smile.

Seeing that the matter was settled so simply, Zhang Siyan and Zhou Min were both pleasantly surprised and felt a trace of daze.

Especially Zhou Min; this was something that she had originally thought was completely impossible, but it was solved in just a few words here at Zhang Ran's.

This gave her a feeling as if she were in a dream!

"This time I will accept it with a thick skin, but the endorsement fee on your end cannot be less. If it's less, that's slapping my face. Whatever the amount should be, that's what it should be," Zhang Ran said.

Fang Hua smiled and said, "Who would complain about money being too little? Even if you didn't say it, Brother Zhang, I would still open my mouth like a lion."

"Haha, that's good. Come, let's drink," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

After the meal, while Fang Hua hadn't left yet, Zhou Min hurriedly approached him and showed Fang Hua the results she had worked hard on all last night.

At the same time, she was also asking Fang Hua about his requirements for the endorsement, as she needed to be well-prepared.

Zhang Siyan had also been listening on the side; these things were not her specialty, but fortunately, she had Zhou Min's help.

Zhang Siyan now discovered that she seemed to only need to grasp the direction, that is to say, the so-called big picture, and she didn't need to worry about the rest of the matters at all.

She only needed to delegate the things that needed to be done, and then someone would complete them.

And the most critical thing was that she also discovered that whether it was Huo Zhiyuan or Zhang Ran, they seemed to have arranged these things already. What she needed to do now was to learn how to manage and increase her knowledge and abilities.

Zhang Siyan felt that whether it was Huo Zhiyuan or Zhang Ran, they both seemed to want to position her—no, it should be said, cultivate her—into a person who manages the big picture, rather than a person who does the chores.

This made Zhang Siyan feel a bit dazed; she felt that on these matters, Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan had a natural tacit understanding.

But from the current situation, Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan didn't seem to know each other, which gave her a rather strange feeling.

Especially since Huo Zhiyuan had been calling her over frequently during this period; they rarely talked about work, and most of the time they just chatted about trivial family matters.

Moreover, the feeling Huo Zhiyuan gave Zhang Siyan was like a loving elder, not a company boss or leader!

While Zhang Siyan was lost in thought, Qian Li was accompanying Huang Huihui. She had also developed a habit; when there was something on Zhang Siyan's side, she would subconsciously go to help, just as if she were doing her own business.

Zhou Min and Fang Hua discussed for nearly an hour. By the time Fang Hua said his goodbyes and left, Zhou Min looked very excited.

"Siyan, it's done, it really succeeded!" Zhou Min said, jumping up and down.

Although Fang Hua was doing this for Zhang Ran's sake this time, she had also participated in it, so she definitely had a share of the credit. And looking at Zhang Ran's attitude, he wouldn't go and claim this credit.

So, besides Zhang Siyan's credit, hers was the greatest, and by relying on this credit, she would be able to sit firmly in her current position. This was what Zhou Min was most excited about.
