A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 142 Recommendation Quota

Deng Chao waved the car keys in his hand: "Can you drive?"

"meeting.

"

"Then you come."

Deng Chao sat comfortably in the passenger seat and explained, "I had originally made plans to have dinner with Lao Hu. He had just finished his work trip and happened to be in Tianjin."

"Now is the perfect time. Go over there and see if you can get a special endorsement spot."

"Thank you, Brother Chao!"

It was truly a case of "after many twists and turns, a bright new vista appears!"

Gu Yun's mood was like a roller coaster ride. He thought he had no chance, but Deng Chao gave him such a big surprise!

"Don't thank me yet. It's not certain whether it will work out. Besides, I also have a problem with how you were bullied earlier."

Deng Chao said earnestly, "Anyway, my abilities are limited, but I will do my best to ensure that the artists in our company are treated fairly as much as possible."

Gu Yun felt a warmth in his heart. Although Deng Chao was rarely seen, this boss was truly capable!

Whether it's the friendly contracts for newcomers or the attitude towards artists, there's nothing wrong with it.

"arrive."

Gu Yun followed Deng Chao into a long-established restaurant, where Hu Ge was already waiting in a private room.

"Hey, Lao Hu~"

"Brother Chao, wow, why are you dressed so formally?"

Hu Ge was wearing a black wool sweater, light blue jeans, and his hair was slicked back with a clean stubble. He looked mature and refined!

"Oh, you're Gu Yun?"

After greeting Deng Chao, Hu Ge looked at Gu Yun, shook hands with him, and smiled gently.

"Teacher Hu, do you know me?" Gu Yun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his idol from both his past lives would know him.

"My wife has seen your dramas and said you look like me."

Hu Ge laughed and said, "But looking at it now, you're much more handsome than me!"

"Not at all, Professor Hu, you're too kind. I can't compare to you."

Gu Yun smiled modestly. He knew that etiquette was important in this situation, as his words and actions represented the face of the Deng Dynasty.

"Tsk, too modest."

Hu Ge sat down opposite Deng Chao and said with a smile, "The young man is very handsome, and his temperament is more than enough. Brother Chao, just tell me, and I'll recommend him directly!"

"That won't work."

Deng Chao smiled, quite satisfied with Gu Yun's performance just now—a measured and respectful demeanor: "I can't put you in a difficult position, and I certainly can't hurt our relationship."

Deng Chao and Hu Ge both live in Shanghai, and they often meet up in private to play ball and chat.

There was no overwhelming marketing, no talk of who's so close to whom, eating together, or celebrating whose birthday —

But they have a very deep friendship.

"What are you saying? Putting aside the fact that Xiao Gu is quite good-looking and has a great presence, what's there for me to be embarrassed about?"

Hu Ge clinked glasses with Deng Chao, both of them drinking tea. Then, Hu Ge started chatting casually: "When are you coming back to Shanghai? It's been so long since we've gotten together."

"I've been filming a lot lately, and I'm very busy. It just wrapped up not long ago. I'm going back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and I miss my empress."

Deng Chao said half-jokingly.

He was known for missing his wife; when he was away from home, he would call Sun Li several times a day.

Sometimes when they run out of things to talk about, they'll call each other and just hang on like that. Sun Li said he's like a child.

Well, Gu Yun's assessment is that this is what the Demon Child is like.

It was mostly Hu Ge and Deng Chao chatting, with Gu Yun being mentioned only occasionally.

Finally, as the meal was coming to an end, Hu Ge looked at Gu Yun.

"Xiao Gu, here's a form for you. Fill it out later and give it to me."

Hu Ge spoke calmly and slowly: "I just asked around, and the message they gave me is that the final interview will be held in Seoul, South Korea on December 15th."

"Remember to apply for your visa in advance, don't forget!"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Hu."

Gu Yun noted down Hu Ge's words.

"You're welcome. You have a great image and a very good temperament, even better than I did back then. I think you have a great chance."

Before leaving, Hu Ge did not forget to offer some words of encouragement.

On the way back, I still made sure to drive.

"How about it, isn't Lao Hu handsome?" Deng Chao joked.

"Yes, she has a great presence too."

Gu Yun remarked with admiration, "No wonder he was handpicked by the founder of Armani to be their global brand ambassador!"

"Haha, Lao Hu's last sentence was quite right. You also have a great presence and a good chance."

Deng Chao said, "Don't be nervous during the interview."

"Yes, I will."

Gu Yun nodded.

Do you think I'm handsome?

Deng Chao suddenly blurted out, catching Gu Yun off guard for a few seconds before he exclaimed, "Handsome! Brother Chao, aren't you being called the 'heartthrob of the older generation' these days?"

"Tsk, getting old."

Deng Chao sighed, "My lost youth, Yabi, lol~"

Okay, Gu Yun admits that Deng Chao is indeed quite abstract!

This kind of abstraction comes out of nowhere, and people who aren't very familiar with each other might really think the other person has a split personality.

"Oh right, I forgot something important!"

As they approached the company, Deng Chao slapped his forehead: "I was so focused on abstract concepts that I forgot about this. Our company recommended you for the Spring Festival Gala."

"what?"

Gu Yun was unsure whether to be happy or complain, wondering how his boss could forget everything.

"Yes, it's you. Your performance in 'Joy of Life 2' was a huge hit this year, and your previous works were also very popular. You should be selected."

Deng Chao added, "Anyway, I've already recommended it. You can take some time to sing a song or dance something recently. Before the 5th, shoot a video and send it to me, and I'll use the channels to get it to the Spring Festival Gala program team."

Big companies all have their own special relationships, like cutting in line, so Gu Yun wasn't surprised: "When will the results be available?"

"We'll have the results in five or six days at the latest," Deng Chao gave a rough answer.

Back at the company, Gu Yun saw that Huang Ming's office light was still on, guessing that the other party was still working overtime.

"Old Huang, aren't you leaving yet?"

Pushing open the door, Gu Yun saw Huang Ming's dark circles under his eyes, which were as thick as a panda's, and joked, "You're working so hard every day, even a god couldn't save you. Hurry up and go home to keep your sister-in-law company."

"This is hardly an ordeal—"

Huang Ming smiled bitterly. The endorsement deal had gone wrong, and now all he wanted was to find a good script to help Gu Yun recover his losses.

"Tsk, feeling guilty now?"

Gu Yun looked at Huang Ming's bitter smile, which was both funny and heartbreaking: "The endorsement deal is done."

"real?"

Huang Ming's eyes widened, but quickly drooped again: "Impossible, don't joke with me."

"Seriously, I got a spot as a candidate for Armani's affordable luxury brand ambassador."

"You're not lying to me?" Huang Ming asked incredulously, his lips dry and cracked.

Gu Yun directly sent the form that Hu Ge had sent him to Huang Ming: "Brother Chao took me to see Teacher Hu Ge."

"He is a global ambassador, and there was a recommendation slot, which I received."

"The final interview will be held in Seoul, South Korea on the 15th."

At this point, Gu Yun paused, then continued, "Old Huang, I'm leaving the visa matter to you, and also the Spring Festival Gala—"
