Huayu 1995

Chapter 182 I'm still a child! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Jianguo, you're too kind."

After cutting the cake, Su Chao went around toasting people.

I didn't expect to receive a gift.

After a few tables, he couldn't carry any more, so he had to ask Lü Bu to help him carry them.

When they reached Gao Yuanyuan's table, Su Chao took out a box of albums and gave it to her.

"Happy birthday."

This is Gao Yuanyuan's payment for going on stage and cutting the cake with him.

"I...I didn't prepare a gift."

Gao Yuanyuan really wanted to give Su Chao something, even if the gift would end up piling up with the ones given by others.

She could at least fantasize that Su Chao would recognize it as a gift from her, and then open it and put it in a suitable place.

On her body... was just a small necklace hanging around her neck.

However, it was for women, and probably not even big enough for Su Chao to put over his head.

"It's okay, the fact that you cut the cake for me is the best gift. You should head home as soon as you're done, so you don't miss the bus."

Su Chao did not criticize the students for being there.

Everyone has a youthful past.

He didn't linger and quickly went to the next table; there were quite a few guests today.

He needs to greet and thank them one by one.

"Yuanyuan, why don't you say more to him?"

Gao Yuanyuan's classmates were disappointed in her.

If you hadn't made it so obvious, I would have done it myself.

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it!

I don't know what to say!

When Su Chao was coming towards them, Gao Yuanyuan had thought of many topics to discuss, but when Su Chao arrived in front of her, she couldn't remember any of them.

"Hey, at least you should have a phone number!"

I feel so sorry for her.

"no need……"

Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her smugness.

She and Su Chao both work for the same advertising company.

There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.

Her classmates were so angry they wanted to strangle her. "You're such a coward, no wonder you can't catch a handsome guy."

Su Chao finally reached the table where Thor was being toasted.

His steps were unsteady, and he even stumbled when he reached Thor's side.

"Oh dear, Su Chao, are you drunk?"

Little Red Riding Hood noticed it immediately and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine. These are the last two tables."

Su Chao pretended to be strong.

"Can you still ride a motorcycle? Won't you fall off?" Little Red Riding Hood turned to her sister and said, "Sister, why don't we take Su Chao home before we go back?"

"..."

Thor raised his eyelids and immediately saw that this guy was acting.

Even if he was really drunk, given Su Chao's relationship with the karaoke bar, the karaoke bar would still send a car to take Su Chao home.

"I can't accept this, but thank you for your help."

Su Chao thought Little Red Riding Hood was so cute.

After toasting, they went back to singing.

His voice, tinged with intoxication, was lower and hoarse than usual after drinking.

She was less reserved and more carefree.

Its lethality to young girls increases dramatically.

"Your infatuated dream/is like a curse/After being loved by you, who else can I be moved by?/I admit it's all the moon's fault/The night was so beautiful, and you were so gentle/That's why, in that instant/I only wanted to grow old with you..."

Gao Yuanyuan did not drink alcohol.

But she felt she was already drunk.

I want to drown in this hazy moonlight, and fall asleep forever, listening to the singer's voice on stage.

After Su Chao finished singing, he decided to leave around 10 o'clock.

There's still a group of students at the training center who need to be calmed down.

It's not too biased.

The training class has thirty or forty people, but the karaoke bar doesn't have that many seats for them.

As he left, many guests also began to depart.

Today is not the weekend.

Many people came to the karaoke bar specifically for Su Chao.

Little Red Riding Hood has to go to class tomorrow, and they'll be leaving soon, so Su Chao can ride in their car.

"Su Chao, wait a minute."

Sister Hong followed closely, calling out to Su Chao before he entered the karaoke bar.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Su Chao had no choice but to stop.

"I just talked to an advertising model, the one who cut the cake with you, her name is Gao Yuanyuan."

"Gao Yuanyuan?"

Su Chao didn't know how to react to this situation.

He thought Gao Yuanyuan was just an accident.

She'll soon be back on track, acting in her Mentos commercials, playing the role of Master Zhou, and portraying Liu Sheng Piaoxu, letting the audience see what "snowflakes drifting across the world" truly means.

But then I heard Sister Hong say that Gao Yuanyuan had been signed.

Turning my head, I saw that Gao Yuanyuan and her group had also left.

"Yeah, you haven't forgotten so quickly, have you? She was a pretty girl."

Sister Hong despises men like Su Chao.

He was so focused on his career that he paid no attention to anything in bed.

Such men are either genuinely uninterested in women, or they are excessively interested and need to use career success to satisfy their insatiable desires.

"Oh, her name is Gao Yuanyuan."

Su Chao continued to play dumb.

“I thought she was quite suitable for shooting commercials, so I asked her if she would like to come to our company. She said she would go back and discuss it with her family.”

Sister Hong still needs to talk to Su Chao, after all, he is the first model the company has signed.

"That means you haven't agreed yet."

Su Chao wasn't sure whether he wanted Gao Yuanyuan to join him or wanted to keep his distance. As a reborn person, he really didn't think Gao Yuanyuan was a good poker player.

Despite being in the industry for so many years, his acting skills haven't improved much.

She's so good-looking, but she's obsessed with romance.

In terms of professional skills and works, she can't even beat some of the actresses born in the 1980s.

Promoting her is really not cost-effective.

"She'd definitely agree, didn't you see the way she looked at you..."

Sister Hong gave that young girl a chance.

I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Otherwise, the girl wouldn't have much of a chance to get close to Su Chao.

"Uh……"

Su Chao was speechless. Could it be that Gao Yuanyuan had taken a liking to him?
Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.

Her ideal type is someone mature and talented.

Therefore, none of her classmates were able to catch up with her because they were not mature enough and lacked talent.

Although Su Chao is only two years older than her, he has a mature demeanor, is handsome, and is very talented.

She can sing, play guitar, and even write her own lyrics and music.

The lyrics are so well written.

He's definitely a genius!

"If you're interested, why don't you start dating her?"

Sister Hong loves to watch the drama unfold.

As women get older, they like to arrange dates for younger people.

Su Chao is eighteen years old, while she is already in her thirties, so she can indeed be considered a junior.

"No, I'm not interested!"

Su Chao quickly refused.

Gao Yuanyuan likes mature men. If they get together, and she meets someone more mature and charming than herself, wouldn't she be cheated on?

In Su Chao's memory, Gao Yuanyuan was no pushover either.

Although we can't judge her based on things that haven't happened yet, Su Chao really is a prophet.

I don't want to take that risk right now.

"Tch, how can you be such a coward?"

Sister Hong was disappointed in her son's lack of ambition.

"Let's sign it. Lu Bu has secured an advertisement for a language repeater; we can consider her."

Although Su Chao didn't want to pursue her, since Sister Hong had already made a deal with him, he had to give her face.

Gao Yuanyuan is quite suitable for shooting commercials.

"I also have a few advertising projects that are almost finalized."

The main reason Hongjie was able to be invited by Su Chao to work together on the advertising company was because she had a lot of connections.

She's talked a lot these days.

The results were decent.

"Okay, the advertising business is now on the right track."

It was better than Su Chao had expected.

He thought he would get more orders after shooting a few commercials and gaining fame.

"The advertising budgets of these brands are not as high as those of Herbal Essences, and their profit margins are also lower."

The first order had a gross profit of 300,000 yuan, which made it hard for Sister Hong to be satisfied with an advertisement that only earned tens of thousands of yuan.

"We can further reduce the cost by hiring college student directors or cinematographers, and I can also try directing myself."

Su Chao currently has one target.

Zhao Xiaoding, Zhang Yimou's personal photographer.

In 2000, Zhao Xiaoding collaborated with Zhang Yimou to shoot the Olympic bid promotional video "New Beijing, New Olympics", and later served as the cinematographer for "Hero".

Regardless of whether movies like "Hero" and "Shadow" are good or not, their visuals are absolutely top-notch in the industry.

Currently, he works at a photo printing factory in Beijing.

Occasionally, I take on freelance photo printing jobs.

Lu Bu gave all the photos he took to him for developing and printing, and he also learned a lot about photography from him.

Otherwise, Lü Bu wouldn't have been able to get the hang of it so quickly.

The two had a good relationship and often drank together, so Lü Bu knew that Zhao Xiaoding intended to resign and go into business.

Hiring them as advertising and music video photographers would be excellent value for money.

As for directing, Su Chao wants to try it himself. If he's too busy, he can find students from the directing or cinematography departments of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.

For example, Zhang Yongxin is a directing major at the Central Academy of Drama. His representative works include "The Advisors Alliance" and "The Age of Awakening". He should be a junior or senior now.

Jia Zhangke didn't graduate either, and now he's so poor he has to pick up cigarette butts from the ground.

Those who have already graduated, such as Cao Baoping, Ding Sheng, Diao Yinan, and Li Dawei, have not made a name for themselves.

Li Dawei is a second-generation, but he wouldn't refuse an opportunity to practice.

A few thousand dollars can make them work like slaves.

For those who are reborn, this era is truly a land of opportunity.

As long as you have some capital.

Su Chao now has enough capital and connections to start making big money.

“You’re the professional, so you can handle the arrangements. But shouldn’t we rent an office? The karaoke bar isn’t very convenient.”

Sister Hong had no objections.

"Of course, Sister Hong, could you take a look for me? Just make sure it's not too far from my training center."

Su Chao dismissed Sister Hong with a few words.

They hurriedly left the karaoke bar.

Fortunately, Thor's car was still parked on the side of the road.

Su Chao went up and opened the back door.

"You go ahead..."

Thor sat in the back seat, his silhouette barely visible in the dim light.

Her voice was languid and soft.

“I get carsick sitting in the front, and the seatbelt is so tight that I’m afraid I’ll throw up.”

Su Chao didn't hold back at all.

These days, nobody cares if you don't wear a seatbelt in the back seat—and we don't drive fast in the city anyway.

"Are you all seated? I'm starting the car. You guys better behave in the back. I'm still a kid!"

Little Red Riding Hood pouted and started the car.
