Chapter 497 Advertisement

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

He Jin is single and lives alone, and she had just taken a shower, so she was very cautious.

I peeked through the peephole and was surprised to see Zhou Haoran.

"Haoran!" He Jin exclaimed in surprise, "What brings you here?"

Zhou Haoran, carrying a backpack, laughed and said, "What? Don't want to?"

"It was an accident. It's almost nine o'clock, quite late." He Jin welcomed him in and said thankfully, "Luckily, I've already taken a shower. Go take a quick shower, and we'll get started."

"Hurry up." Zhou Haoran handed her the backpack. "Here, take this and go make the bed. Time is limited!"

He Jin had a very absurd feeling.

This person seems to be rushing around.

But it's normal.

With his outstanding qualities, it's already quite remarkable that he managed to sneak over here in his spare time.

She went to the bedroom and tidied up the bed.

He then took the backpack: "You gave it to me? What?!"

He Jin took the backpack and opened it, and felt her hands burning hot; she almost threw the backpack away.

It was a whole bag of money!

After calming myself down, I went over with trembling hands to count them.

There were ten stacks.

One hundred thousand yuan!

"What does this mean?" He Jin's imagination ran wild. "Could it be that the price has gone up? No, no, it's already an exorbitant price if you bring 10,000 yuan every time you come."

Because of this, she even asked a friend who owns a hair salon.

These days, hair salons generally offer some hidden services in addition to hair styling.

The prices are all very cheap.

Finding a girl to relax with costs about 80 yuan, but only girls who are 17 or 18 years old and exceptionally good-looking can charge 100 yuan.

Thinking about the money Zhou Haoran gave her each time he came over, He Jin felt ashamed to accept it.

It's not worth it at all!

Unexpectedly, he brought over so much money this time.

Zhou Haoran quickly took a shower and saw her staring blankly at her backpack. He chuckled and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up, I have to leave soon."

"Haoran, isn't this too much money?" He Jin's voice trembled slightly. "I can't accept this money."

"This is an advance payment."

"Advance payment?"

"Oh, we'll talk about it later, let's get down to business!" Zhou Haoran walked to the bedside, grabbed his backpack and threw it on the floor. Standing in front of her, he pulled off the towel tied around his waist. "Stop daydreaming, hurry up!"

He Jin was in a daze.

I'm a little distracted.

By the time we finished, it was already 9:30 p.m.

Zhou Haoran was in a hurry, so he skipped the shower and told her to quickly clean herself up before pulling up his pants and leaving.

While rinsing her mouth with water, He Jin pointed to the backpack on the ground.

Zhou Haoran pulled up his pants and fastened his belt: "The housing prices in the harbor have stopped falling and are showing signs of recovery. You wanted to buy a house, right? Then hurry up and buy it! This is the last chance; there will never be such housing prices again."

"Give me money to buy a house?"

He Jin's already flushed face became even redder, and the stray hairs with sweat clinging to her cheeks made her look even more charming and feminine.

“I’m not coming next week, I’m going to the US. You need to give me the money first and settle the house matter. Your house is really not good, there’s no elevator. It’s exhausting to go up to the sixth floor every time.”

Zhou Haoran moved quickly; he had already put on his coat and was about to leave.

He Jin hadn't even put on any clothes yet, but she wrapped the blanket around herself and hurriedly said to him, "Haoran, how am I supposed to pay you back all this money?"

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "You don't need to pay me back. I already said it was an advance."

"Advance payment..."

He Jin then understood what it meant.

Zhou Haoran said, "This is 100,000 yuan, and for the next ten times... oh no, let's include today too. For the next nine times, I won't give you any more money. Remember that, and tell me when the amount is up, and I'll give you the money then. Don't exceed the limit."

"Haoran, you..." He Jin was a little embarrassed, her eyes lowered, "After I buy a house this time, you don't need to give me any more money."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "You've bought a house, why not a car?"

"And you even bought a car..."

He Jin bit her lip, and began to dream again.

"We're friends, I can't let you suffer a loss." Zhou Haoran waved his hand. "Alright, go back now, I'm leaving. I won't come next week, but I'll come to see you again the week after next when I have time."

He Jin waved goodbye to him.

Back in bed, clutching a bag of money, I sat there for a long time, lost in thought.

Then, he called his younger sister, He Yao.

We agreed to go see the apartment together.

"Looking at houses?" He Yao asked, somewhat puzzled. "Sis, how come you're so rich?"

He Jin didn't know how to explain, "I've made some money recently."

He Yao asked with a smile, "How much do you earn?"

"I made a little money."

He Jin was too embarrassed to say it outright.

He Yao asked curiously, "What's wrong with your voice? It sounds a little hoarse. Do you have a cold?" He Jin coughed twice, "It's nothing."

He Yao said worriedly, "Sister, the housing prices are so strange right now, you really have to be careful. Mortgage loans are really dangerous. A colleague of mine at work lost his mortgage a few months ago because of the sharp drop in housing prices. Not only did the bank take his house away, but he also owes the bank more than 100,000 yuan!"

“I know, I…I’ll pay in full.”

He Jin also does not plan to take out a loan or mortgage.

The fluctuations in housing prices over the past few months have caused widespread anxiety in the market, casting a shadow over mortgage payment models.

"Full payment?" He Yao was taken aback. "That must be two or three hundred thousand, right? Sis, where did you get so much money?"

"I……"

He Jin found it difficult to speak.

He Yao, her younger sister, immediately sensed something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "Sis, you're not dating a rich guy, are you?"

"No way!" He Jin said, somewhat annoyed. "I borrowed it from a friend!"

He Yao didn't believe it. "Who would lend you so much money?"

"Alright, stop asking." He Jin was getting impatient and didn't want to explain anymore. "Can you take tomorrow afternoon off? If you can, come find me and we'll go look at apartments."

He Yao sighed and said, "What difference does it make whether I ask for leave or not? Our company is doing so badly, and it looks like it's about to go bankrupt. The frontline workers are being taken care of, but we office workers don't even know what future we'll have."

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

He Jin felt there was a strange taste in her mouth, and rinsing wasn't working well, so she needed to brush her teeth to clean it thoroughly.

……

Zhou Haoran went to the United States again.

He was accompanied by Yangyang, as well as the two brothers, Qiao Hai and Dongfang Lang.

Upon arriving, I first met Xu You.

After shaking hands, Xu You said enthusiastically, "Everything is settled. We've registered a non-profit organization called the 'United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association.' We can hold and award prizes under the name of this NGO."

This strategy is a bit unconventional.

Qiao Hai was dizzy.

Dongfang Lang, however, was very pleased and said excitedly, "It would be best to hire a director, design the process, and find a few foreigners to act as actors, and film the process when the awards are presented."

Xu You laughed and said, "What a coincidence! I'm making a documentary called 'Into Silicon Valley,' and I just happened to hire a Chinese-American director named Yang Ziye, who can help us with this project."

Zhou Haoran nodded.

That's what he was thinking all along.

The plane landed in Los Angeles.

Everyone take a day off, we're heading to New York tomorrow.

The group got into an MPV.

Go to director Yang Ziye's studio and watch the post-production editing of "Into Silicon Valley".

Qiao Hai said worriedly, "Isn't doing this a form of forgery? If it is, it will be even more troublesome if it is discovered and exposed later!"

"Fake?" Xu You couldn't help but chuckle. "This isn't fake; it's all done with proper legal procedures."

“Exactly, these are all legally registered.” Dongfang Lang also said righteously, “A sham is a sham, and a fake is a fake, they are two different things!”

Qiao Hai asked in surprise, "It's okay to have the title of the United Nations?"

"why not?"

Xu You countered with a question.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Brother Hai, you really should travel abroad more. Otherwise, your simplified Chinese thinking won't get you anywhere. The United Nations belongs to all mankind. Why should only the United Nations be allowed to use those three words?"

"what?"

Qiao Hai was stunned.

Dongfang Lang suddenly remembered something and said boldly, "Right, what about the award ceremony and filming location? Since it's a United Nations award ceremony, it would be best to hold the awards ceremony in the UN headquarters lobby!"

"how is this possible?"

Qiao Hai thought this was outrageous.

Xu You said, "That's fine."

"what?"

Qiao Hai froze, as if he had just entered the city.

Xu You laughed and said, "The United Nations headquarters is open to the public. A ticket costs about $10, I think, and you can go for a tour and take pictures."

Zhou Haoran said, "Yes, we're going to New York tomorrow, just to take a look around the United Nations headquarters."

"Is that so..."

Qiao Hai felt his worldview was collapsing, and the sense of sanctity surrounding the United Nations had vanished.

Xu You explained simply, "Just like Dr. Zhou just said, the United Nations belongs to all mankind and should be open to everyone. It's actually a tourist attraction; anyone can enter if they pay, as long as it's not during working hours. The ticket revenue can also generate income for the United Nations."

Dongfang Lang said nonchalantly, "Isn't that how it is all over the world? The White House in America even sells tickets and allows Americans to visit. Buckingham Palace in Britain, and the German Chancellor's residence... they're all open to the public. Qiao Hai, this is America, don't use those domestic standards, okay? When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

"Then..." Qiao Hai said excitedly, "There must be a lot of tourists, right? If we're giving out awards and filming videos, it won't be convenient, will it?"

Xu You said, "After tomorrow, you can apply to them."

"What are you applying for?"

"We told them we wanted to shoot a short film and needed to use some scenes from the United Nations headquarters, so we asked them to set aside half an hour for us to film."

"Is this okay?"

Qiao Hai was stunned.

"Why not?" Xu You chuckled. "Haven't you seen American blockbusters? They've filmed not only the UN headquarters, but also the interiors of the White House and the Pentagon! It's normal!"

Qiao Hai understood now.

This is an advertisement centered around "United Nations awards"!
