Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 137 Good looks equal justice!

"Sold?"

Although Lin Qingsong knew it was only a little past five o'clock, he still subconsciously glanced at his phone.

He seemed to arrive around 3 PM, while Gu Wen didn't hang the items up until almost 4 PM.

In other words, Gu Wen found a buyer for the brooch in just over an hour.

This speed.

Such efficiency!
That's too intense!

"Actually, it was also good luck. A client happened to be interested in things from that period, and she had also heard of the Art Deco exhibition in Paris and Cartier's 'Oriental Fantasy' collection."

Although Gu Wen spoke modestly, her upturned lips revealed her barely suppressed joy.

To be honest, she was surprised by her own efficiency.

"Luck is also a kind of strength!" After logging off, Lin Qingsong told Ji Yue that he might not be online tomorrow, and then continued to Gu Wen, "I told you, with Gu Gu here, there's no need to go to any auction!"

"Old Lin, my luck is nothing compared to yours," Gu Wen said while continuing to send photos to clients. "You've had so many good things happen to you this past month."

She has lived for so many years and has always considered herself to be quite lucky.

But after meeting Lin Qingsong, she realized that some people could have such incredible luck.

"The prettier you are, the luckier you are!" Lin Qingsong was not modest at all. He smiled and pointed to himself and then to Gu Wen, saying, "We are both so good-looking, so our luck is definitely not bad."

"Not modest at all!" Gu Wen chuckled, but couldn't help praising, "But what you said does make some sense, hahaha!"

After sending out all the details of the brooch according to the customer's requirements, Gu Wen received the transfer from the other party.

"Old Lin, this client is quite generous. He's already transferred 100,000 yuan. I'll transfer it to you now." As Gu Wen spoke, she transferred another 50,000 yuan, bringing the total to 100,000 yuan.

She truly treated Lin Qingsong as a friend, and from the very first time, she basically didn't make any profit from the price difference.

Seeing that Gu Wen had transferred another 50,000 yuan, Lin Qingsong accepted it first, and then transferred another 10,000 yuan to her.

"Gu Gu, you can't keep working for me for free. You still need to earn what you're owed." After saying that, Lin Qingsong turned his head and looked at the luxury goods around him.

I can't show favoritism. Although Lisa didn't help me as much as Vivian, I should give her something in return when I give Vivian a gift.

We can lower the price if necessary, but we still have to give it away.

Furthermore, Xiang Jia should also consider that the intelligence report mentioned she wanted to use the child support money to buy herself gifts.

If I hadn't known, that would have been fine, but now that I do, I should have prepared this gift much earlier.

The other models are easy to find, especially the Russian girls.

For them, the best gifts, besides cases and money, are alcohol and cigarettes.

"Old Lin, it's no big deal for me to take your money. We're all friends, helping each other out is only natural." Gu Wen clicked "reject" immediately after seeing the transfer, then waved her hand and said, "Besides, our kind of shop needs some good stuff to whet our image and let customers know that we can get good stuff. And this brooch of yours can help me improve our reputation with customers."

Seeing that Lin Qingsong was about to transfer money to her again, she couldn't help but reach out and stop his hand that was about to transfer money. "Old Lin, don't keep transferring money back and forth. I won't accept it even if you do. If you really feel bad about it, just bring me some good stuff to sell in the future."

Although it felt quite comfortable to have Gu Wen's cool little hands holding mine.

But Lin Qingsong couldn't help but spoil the mood by saying, "Gu Gu, you seem a bit weak. How can your hands be so cold in the middle of summer?"

"Get lost." Gu Wen withdrew her hand and said to him speechlessly, "It's because your hands are too hot and your temper is too strong, okay?"

She then steered the conversation back on track, saying with a serious expression, "Old Lin, you really don't need to transfer the money to me. Being able to sell this thing is already a help to me."

Her shop relies on customer word-of-mouth. Being able to sell jewelry worthy of being auctioned is enough to further enhance her reputation.

Therefore, what she said is not wrong.

After noticing Gu Wen's serious expression, Lin Qingsong pointed to the items sold in the store and said, "Alright, you won't refuse if I buy something from you, right? Bring out all the hot items suitable for girls. Your brother Lin is going on a big shopping spree today!"

He's going to spend the money he needs to; he's not planning to keep that 100,000 yuan in his hands.

"Buying things is no problem." Gu Wen nodded with a smile, then asked curiously, "What kind of things are you planning to buy? Jewelry, bags, or something else?"

"Anything is fine, but it's best if it's rare and has a high-end feel," Lin Qingsong added after finishing his sentence.

"Rare and high-class." Gu Wen looked at him speechlessly and said, "You're not going to give it to a designer, are you?"

"Yes."

“Hey Lao Lin, do you have some misunderstanding about me? This is just an ordinary second-hand luxury goods store. What do you think I have that would be of interest to luxury brand designers?” Gu Wen said, then looked at Lin Qingsong’s colorful shirt and said, “If you want to give something to a designer, you should go to a vintage store and look around.”

Lin Qingsong realized he had misunderstood something, but a large purchase was unnecessary. However, a small purchase was still necessary. Besides Lisa, there was also Sister Jia, and Old Yang's side could be prepared in advance.

Also, I might be meeting Sister Yu's mother in a few days, so I can prepare a bag for that.

Her family is quite generous. Not to mention that Yu Jie's grandmother gave her a piece of jade worth hundreds of thousands of yuan when they met, she also earns 8,888 yuan a month just by being employed by Yu Jie's company.

It's definitely worthwhile to spend a month's salary on a handbag to please Sister Yu's mother.

Maybe Sister Yu will reimburse me for the bag, and Sister Yu's mother might even give me something in return if she's in a good mood.

After hearing Lin Qingsong's request, Gu Wen did not refuse again.

After she helped Lin Qingsong pick out several bags, she looked at the 100,000 yuan he transferred and couldn't help but say, "Old Lin, you really are the type to earn money here and spend it here, not taking a single penny home."

"Haha, isn't this great?" Lin Qingsong said, placing a Chanel Classic Flap white lambskin bag in front of Gu Wen. "Gu Gu, I think this bag goes quite well with your outfit, so I'm giving it to you."

"Hey Lao Lin, what are you doing?" Gu Wen couldn't help but point to her shop and say, "I have so many bags that I can just carry them around."

"Those are your bags." Lin Qingsong said, picking up the six bags in front of him and getting up to leave. At the same time, he smiled and said, "These are bags I gave you. They're different. Are you really going to refuse a bag from someone as lucky as me?"

If Lin Qingsong offered her money or something, Gu Wen would definitely refuse.

Since he had already said that, the easygoing Gu Wen accepted the bags, and joked with a smile, "Old Lin, then I'll thank you for this lucky bag!" "Absolutely." Carrying the six bags, Lin Qingsong took a big sip of the yogurt he had just ordered, slurping up all the avocado at the bottom, before smiling and saying, "Gu Gu, I'll be going now."

Gu Wen watched his retreating figure, clutching the bag he had given her, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

She had a feeling that if Lin Qingsong continued to ask her to buy things for him without charging her, he would probably give her more and more bags.

However, Gu Wen quickly put that thought out of her mind and instead took out her phone with a gossipy look to video call Yang Xiaoxiao.

Although Lin Qingsong had explained that Xiaoxiao's belly was due to exercise and massage, she still felt there was something fishy going on.

Once the video call was connected, she didn't give Yang Xiaoxiao any time to react and asked in an extremely ordinary tone, "Xiaoxiao, when did you and Lao Lin get together?"

Yang Xiaoxiao, who was working, felt a pang of unease upon hearing this, but outwardly pretended not to hear and continued talking:

"Gu Gu? Gu Gu? Why aren't you saying anything? Gu Gu? Is the signal really bad on this set?"

As she spoke, she kept pacing around, pretending that she hadn't heard Gu Wen at all.

After calming down, she looked at Gu Wen with an innocent expression, "Gu Gu, my signal is so bad. What's wrong? Why did you suddenly think of video calling me?"

Gu Wen didn't know whether Yang Xiaoxiao's signal was genuinely bad or just pretending.

After all, when she sometimes video chats with Yang Xiaoxiao, the video will indeed lag if she's on set.

Since a surprise attack didn't work, she switched to asking questions normally.

Yang Xiaoxiao had already made preparations in her heart.

Therefore, he naturally issued a triple denial, while stating with a righteous expression that he and Lin Qingsong had a normal brotherly relationship and that Gu Wen must have misunderstood.

While Gu Wen was testing Yang Xiaoxiao, Lin Qingsong also drove his car to the Love and Care Dog Shelter in Pudong New Area.

Just as he got off the overpass, Ivanov sent him a video call.

After clicking to connect, a rare smile appeared on Ivanov's usually comical face: "Lin, my good brother, I've taken care of your matter. Eva can terminate her contract normally."

He was quite efficient when it came to making money.

After finishing his morning shift at school, he went to Eva's parent company and resolved the matter.

The whole process was exceptionally relaxed; Eva's parent company was very accommodating.

They even stated that the entire process could be canceled online, and related documents could be sent by mail.

"Ivan, I trust you to do things right!" Lin Qingsong glanced at the time and realized it was already past six o'clock. If you calculate the time difference, it's only a little past three o'clock in Russia.

In other words, Ivanov did take this matter to heart, since many companies don't start working until after 2 p.m.

"Lin, I've received your deposit. You can transfer the rest to me after Eva terminates her contract!" Ivanov said with a smile. "If you still have your eye on any other models, feel free to contact me. Also, did you find any models you liked from the last batch? Many of them are looking forward to working with you."

"Don't worry, Ivan. If there's another chance, I'll definitely work with you again. As for that batch of models from last time," Lin Qingsong paused to think for a moment before continuing, "I might go to Russia in a few months. If you have any models to recommend then, I can consider signing them."

If he acquires Haiyue International by the end of October, he will definitely update the company's models.

If you find a model you like among the rented models, you can try to get them to terminate their contracts with the parent company. For the rest, you can stop renting them and sign contracts directly.

This leasing method can make money in the short term, but if you want to run a company well and make it sustainable in the long term, you still need to sign your own models.

In the future, Lin Qingsong even plans to hold his own model competition, just like the other major modeling agencies in China.

Only in this way can one be considered to have joined a top-tier modeling agency.

However, that's a matter for the future. After Lin Qingsong finished talking with Ivanov, he hung up the video call and told Eva the good news.

Because he had already eaten his fill yesterday, and he had also made plans to have hot pot with the He sisters, He Yu and He Xue, tonight.

Therefore, he declined Eva's invitation, only stating that he would arrange for her to sign with Shining International as soon as possible after she terminated her contract with the parent company.

If Eva really does sign with Shining International, then she would be Shining International's first self-signed model.

Not long after coming off the elevated road, Lin Qingsong drove his car to the Love and Care Stray Dog Shelter.

After getting off the bus, he carried several bags of dog food he had bought at a pet store on the way before entering the not-so-large shelter for stray dogs.

As soon as I walked in, I heard countless dogs barking, along with a distinctive animal smell.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A staff member wearing a little red hat asked curiously, putting down the dog food she was holding as he walked in.

"I wanted to get a dog, but I heard you can adopt here, so I drove over to take a look and brought you some things along the way." Lin Qingsong said, handing over the dog food he had just bought, "I don't know if these things are suitable."

It's never wrong to be polite. Since you're here to get things for free, buying something will definitely make the process much smoother.

This workplace tip is quite suitable for this situation.

“Sir, your decision is fantastic! We’ve been advocating for adoption over buying!” Little Red Riding Hood said, glancing at the dog food in his hand. “Sir, let me register you.”

"Okay, by the way, what are the procedures for adoption?" Lin Qingsong looked curiously at the dog in the cage, while searching for the golden retriever mentioned by the system.

"Sir, you can submit an adoption application first, and then we'll need to visit your home to see if there are any problems. After that, you can sign an adoption agreement." Little Red Riding Hood said, glancing at Lin Qingsong's car outside, and added with a smile, "But I think someone as kind-hearted as you shouldn't have any problems."

He didn't say that on purpose.

First, Lin Qingsong drove here, which shows that he is not short of money. Second, the fact that he brought dog food shows that he is a thoughtful person.

The most important thing is.

Lin Qingsong has a very reassuring appearance.

If puppies could have such a handsome owner, I'm sure they would be happy.
