Chapter 143 Interviewing Models?

hotel lobby.

After Lin Qingsong told Yang Xiaoxiao to check out, he walked to the door, smoked a cigarette, and took out his phone to call Xiaodao.

"Little Knife, where are you?"

"I'm working overtime today too, taking models to auditions. Could you ask Lao Qiu to take a detour to No. 34 Zhongshan South Road? I put 8,000 yuan in an LV dust bag, and I think I threw it in the trash can in front of his door. Could you go get it for me?"

He definitely won't be able to collect the eight thousand dollars mentioned in today's intelligence report.

But losing it like that is definitely not something to be happy about.

I can only ask Xiaodao to run an errand for me.

As for why he put eight thousand yuan in the LV dust bag and why he threw it in the trash can.

It can be explained in a single sentence.

I was too drunk to remember.

It's understandable what a drunk person might do.

The gold bars on Sanyang Road aren't in a hurry.

He searched for the public notice online and found that the demolition would not officially begin until the middle of this month.

You should be able to get the items by the middle of the month.

Finished the phone call.

Lin Qingsong saw through the glass door that Yang Xiaoxiao had already checked out of the room and was about to walk towards him.

He casually stubbed out his cigarette and went inside to take the elevator to the underground parking lot.

In the car.

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Qingsong curiously: "Old Lin, why did Reba suddenly decide to treat everyone to dinner?"

"Who knows."

Lin Qingsong shrugged.

But then he suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Valentino had already informed Dilraba in advance about choosing her as their spokesperson?
This idea was quickly confirmed by Dilraba.

No. 548 Donghai Road.

Inside a private room at Hu Si Noodle Restaurant, a place renowned for its "Three Shrimp Noodles" among Shanghai's gourmets.

Dilraba looked at the assembled crowd and said with a smile, "Everyone, haven't you all been wondering why I'm treating everyone?"

"How about I guess?" Lin Qingsong looked at her with a smile.

He has two guesses: one is that Dilraba and Wang Zhou have officially signed a contract for an urban drama, and the other is the news about Valentino's spokesperson.

"Hehehe, Lao Lin, you didn't receive the news too, did you?" Dilraba looked at Lin Qingsong with slight surprise, but then nodded thoughtfully. "But it's normal that you received the news."

"Wait, what are you two talking about?" Tian Xiwei, who was the most impatient, couldn't help but look at the two of them and say, "Old Lin, tell us what the news is!"

Qin Lan glanced at Lin Qingsong and then at Dilraba, and couldn't help but speculate in her mind.

Could he be a spokesperson for Valentino?
impossible!

It hasn't been long since the banquet.

"Valentino?" Lin Qingsong hadn't actually intended to hide it from Dilraba, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to say it until now.

To his surprise, Dilraba looked at him with a blank expression and asked, "Old Lin, what Valentino?"

"Huh? You're treating us not because Valentino told you you became their Asia-Pacific brand ambassador??" Lin Qingsong then offered another guess: "Then it must be news from Tanyu? They officially signed you for the TV series they were filming in Shanghai?"

Dilraba was initially very happy to sign with Tanyu.

After all, no matter how much hype is made during the promotion of a film or television series, if no contract has been signed, it means there are still uncertainties.

The production team might just play you a bit, ride your popularity, and then sign someone else.

But once the contract is signed, it's basically settled.

Even if she lacks ambition, she will still be happy to have another TV series in her career.

That's why I thought of inviting some friends out for a meal to celebrate.

But Lin Qingsong's words, "Valentino" and "Asia-Pacific brand ambassador," completely stunned her.

This, this, this
Is this something I can even hope for?

Dilraba was still standing there in a daze when Qin Lan couldn't help but ask, "Old Lin, what did you just say? Valentino wants to invite Dilraba to be their Asia-Pacific brand ambassador???"

This really surprised her.

It's worth noting that she could only be a spokesperson for Valentino's secondary eyewear brand before.

"Huh? Dilraba, you didn't know?" Lin Qingsong was also surprised that this news was supposed to be announced this month, but Dilraba herself still didn't know.

"I don't know!" Dilraba couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I only know that the company is sending people to contact Valentino, but they haven't told me the specifics yet."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Qingsong expectantly and said, "Brother Lin, do you have some inside information? Has Valentino already decided to make me their spokesperson?"

If this is true, it could be a milestone in her career!
“It’s true.” Lin Qingsong said, then added, “But specifically, she should be the spokesperson for Valentino’s Asia-Pacific fragrance series.”

There's a significant difference between the Valentino fragrance brand ambassador and the actual Valentino brand ambassador; he can't just make things up.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but look at Dilraba with envy and said, "Sister Dilraba, this is amazing too! It's Valentino! My goodness!"

As a nobody in the entertainment industry, she doesn't even have an endorsement deal with Valentino, let alone any clothing brand in China.

No.

There shouldn't be any endorsements for any product category.

Even the cover of that magazine was only published in a third-tier magazine.

Qin Lan, standing to the side, also congratulated Dilraba with a smile, but her heart was not as calm as it appeared.

Tian Xiwei didn't know.

But did she know that during that dinner party, Lin Qingsong had mentioned Dilraba to Vivian, the designer of Valentino?

While it's not necessarily true that Lin Qingsong's words had an effect, who can say for sure?

After all, even Dilraba herself didn't know this news, yet Lin Qingsong knew about it so far in advance.

The more you think.

Qin Lanyue felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Old Lin, how did you know that Dilraba became the spokesperson?" After congratulating Dilraba, she asked Lin Qingsong as if it were a casual question.

Tian Xiwei, who was standing to the side, blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Yeah, Lao Lin, do you know any Valentino staff?"

“I’m friends with Vivian, the women’s wear designer at Valentino, and she mentioned it to me,” Lin Qingsong said, looking at Dilraba. “I guess you’ll know about this soon, since they’ll be posting it on Weibo around the middle of the month.”

This news wasn't said by Vivian, but rather he saw it in the intelligence and just casually mentioned it.

However, this news made Qin Lan overthink things again.

Not only did they know the news, they even knew when they would announce it. This...
Just how extensive is his network of connections?

With this thought in mind, Qin Lan's gaze towards Lin Qingsong softened even more.

After dinner.

Since everyone was busy with work, they didn't make plans for the afternoon activities.

However, after Dilraba learned that Lin Qingsong had taken on all the roles and responsibilities for this urban drama, she warmly invited him to visit the set.

She was also thinking of having him and Yang Xiaoxiao appear in a scene with her.

"We'll talk about cameos later," Lin Qingsong said with a smile to Dilraba. "But you should think about what you're going to treat us to after the endorsement is announced. One bowl of shrimp noodles won't be enough."

After thinking for a while, Dilraba finally said solemnly, "Then I'll treat you to barbecue. I'll grill it for you!"

As a member of the Maimaiti community, no matter what, you'll inevitably pick up a few grilling techniques over the years through exposure to the local food.

It's as if every Maimaiti has boiled milk in a pot.

"Okay, it's a deal then!" Lin Qingsong was also very curious about what Reba's grilled lamb skewers tasted like.

At this moment, Qin Lan also made her presence known: "Northeast barbecue is ready to go! Dilraba, I'll grill with you. Northeast barbecue is second to none!"

"Then our Sichuan-style skewers should also apply to participate!" Tian Xiwei said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention turned to Yang Xiaoxiao.

"Me?" Yang Xiaoxiao said with a hint of embarrassment, "You might not be used to what I eat."

"Hiss!" Lin Qingsong thought of those shady barbecue places in Guangdong and couldn't help but press down on Yang Xiaoxiao's shoulder, saying seriously, "Old Yang, you don't need to apply to fight. You can just bring your mouth like me."

When he went to Guangdong before, a friend treated him to some local barbecue.

Good guy.

It's insects, snakes, and cows all pleasing to the eye.

That's not a barbecue stand.

It's practically a mini zoo, and the kind where admission is free.

At this moment, the other women also realized what was happening and all agreed with Lin Qingsong's words.

Guangdong barbecue is so delicious that you eat it all without making a sound.

The answer is always "It's delicious." And if you ask again, you should try it yourself.

After the girls left, Lin Qingsong also took Yang Xiaoxiao home.

Looking at the dejected and listless Old Yang in front of him, Lin Qingsong gave up the idea of ​​coming to find her again later.

After contacting Vivian and learning that she was at a hotel, he arranged to meet her that evening before driving home.

He opened the bottom of the safe, took out the stamps and letters written by Xu Zhimo, and then put on the coat he had found at the vintage store.

Anyway, I'm going to see Vivian tonight, so I need to bring a gift.

After petting his cats and dogs and adding some cat and dog food to their bowls, Lin Qingsong went out.

Second Uncle's Antique Shop.

Lin Qingsong was speechless as he looked up at the shop's name, which seemed to be taking advantage of him, after parking his car on the side of the road.

Qi Fei is quite a talent; he's truly unafraid of people talking behind his back.

When he entered the store carrying stamps and a family letter, he immediately saw an old man with gray hair chatting with Qi Fei.

Before I even went inside, I could hear the old man's loud voice.

"Hey, second brother, you don't have enough antiques. Have you been slacking off lately? Second brother, your name is Qi Fei, so you need to take off! If you don't take off and don't go looking for antiques, how am I supposed to buy them? Second brother, this won't do. You need to step up!"

OK OK.

I knew that circles and such existed.

The idiom "birds of a feather flock together" is also 100% correct.

Those Tibetan families who can hang out with Qi Fei are indeed not very respectable.

This old man keeps using the term "second brother," it's definitely on purpose.

Qi Fei was listening helplessly to this old scoundrel spouting nonsense when he suddenly saw Lin Qingsong and immediately shouted, "Hey buddy, you're here! Come on, let me introduce you!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the door, saying to the old man, "Teacher Huang, this is Lin Qingsong, the owner of the Large Dragon stamps."

Then Qi Fei said to Lin Qingsong, "Buddy, Teacher Huang, Huang Defa, is a well-known old shopkeeper in our industry."

"Hey there, young man," Huang Defa said with a big smile to Lin Qingsong. "You're incredibly lucky! You even managed to snag a treasure like the Large Dragon stamps."

"Luck, luck, I wonder if Teacher Huang is looking now?" Lin Qingsong didn't have time to linger here; selling it as soon as possible and then going to find Vivian was the priority.

Vivian said she invited another Victoria's Secret model, named Eloise, who is also French.

Although Lin Qingsong searched online, he found that the female model named Elosay had not been heard from since walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 10, and had obviously been eliminated by the show.

But that doesn't stop her from being good-looking.

Also.

I had mentioned to Vivian before that I wanted to develop my career internationally.

Besides suggesting that she participate in competitions, Vivian also suggested that she try to find models who had previously appeared on the international stage but had eventually faded into obscurity.

Based on this, Lin Qingsong guessed that this person named Elosay was probably the one Vivian had helped bring over for him to interview.

Otherwise, why would Vivian call her over for no reason?

After regaining his composure, Lin Qingsong heard the gray-haired teacher Huang nod vigorously and say, "See! Just look, this old man couldn't sleep after hearing this news!"

He looked at Qi Fei with a reproachful expression and said, "Second brother, you're something else. You know perfectly well that the old man likes these things, and he can't eat or sleep when he hears about them. Yet you still have to contact me at night. Isn't this just making me lose sleep?!"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, Teacher Huang. Let's look at the stamps first!"

Lin Qingsong ignored their conversation, took out Lu Xun's "Call to Arms" from his bag, carefully took out the Large Dragon stamps, and then placed them on the cotton cloth that Qi Fei had specially brought out.

Teacher Huang was about to say something after seeing "The Call to Arms," ​​but the next second his attention was completely drawn to the large dragon stamp.

Ignoring everything else, he first carefully cleaned his hands, then wiped them dry before putting on a pair of white cotton gloves, afraid that the grease and dirt on his hands would contaminate the stamps.

Put on gloves.

Looking at the perfectly preserved stamps in front of him, Teacher Huang couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly remarkable that this Yellow Five-Fen (Wide-Margin Large Dragon) stamp is preserved so well!"

It's important to know that these stamps are made of thin French paper, which is both soft and brittle. As a result, not only are they rare, but most of the ones that have survived are in poor condition.

After saying that, he picked up a magnifying glass with one hand and a pair of flat-tipped tweezers with the other, carefully picked up the stamp, and brought it to his eyes to examine it.

After examining the stamp's size and perforations, and studying the paper and adhesive, he put it back with a satisfied look on his face, and said to Lin Qingsong, "Young man, I've finished looking at it. Eighty thousand, right? I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

Ok?
Upon hearing the price, Lin Qingsong looked at Qi Fei with a hint of doubt.

This isn't my bottom line?

He didn't raise the price?
