Rebirth of a Supermodel

Chapter 009

Chapter 009

Zhao Rui might’ve been lonely in recent years, but he still came to Character’s headquarters several times. He was familiar with the layout and lead Ming Yu to the 14th floor. Once the elevator opened, the first thing Ming Yu saw was the magnificent sign stating ‘Character’.

In Huaxia, first-tier and second-tier magazines weren’t differentiated just from their sales. There were deep gaps in many aspects such as the models invited, the sponsored brands and the international standing.

Character’s staff led the two people towards the meeting room. The two people hadn’t gone far when they head an editor sighing. “Yesterday, Chen made a phone call to invite Xi Ze, but he still declined. Now I don’t know who we should shoot for the cover of our 20th anniversary…”

“I recently heard that Xi Ze is busy with the fashion year that will take place in the first quarter next year, so he has no time.”

After turning a corner, the conversing voices faded away. Ming Yu and Zhao Rui waited a few minutes in the meeting room. Then several elite looking middle-aged men appeared, followed by a stylish and elegant woman.

Ming Yu’s gaze swept over the woman’s body. After a brief conversation between the two groups, Mr. Yang, the deputy editor of Character started speaking. “I have communicated this with Mr. Zhao before. We want to invite four popular new models for a themed photo shoot. In fact, we have managed to invite Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian, who have been doing quite well in the past two years.”

Deputy Editor Yang’s implication was that, objectively speaking, Ming Yu’s reputation was poor and couldn’t be compared to these two rising models.

Zhao Rui had naturally prepared in advanced so he calmly said, “We understand your words, Deputy Editor Yang. I also admire Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian’s success. It isn’t easy since they come from small companies. But I think you should understand that putting those external conditions aside, Ming Yu is no worse than both of them.”

Zhao Rui’s words were modest. In his mind, he was thinking that his model was much more powerful than both of them!

Zhao Rui paused before continuing. “Since four people are shooting a set of photos, you want to borrow the fame of these four individuals to raise momentum for the campaign. As far as I know, many people in today’s circles are optimistic about Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian’s future. Many people want to cooperate with them. Since you have successfully invited them, this momentum step is already successful.”

Zhao Rui’s tone was calm without the slightest bit of cowardice as he completed his analysis, causing Deputy Editor Yang to feel slightly surprised.

A middle-aged man sitting next to Deputy Editor Yang took over. “Mr. Zhao, you have to admit that in terms of popularity, Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian are much higher. It isn’t that we don’t want to make you an offer. We just need to think again about this contract.”

In fact, Ming Yu understood the other side’s meaning as soon as Deputy Editor Yang first spoke. Since ‘Character’ invited them to the magazine’s headquarters, it was clear that they wanted to cooperate with Ming Yu. So, what needed to be negotiated here?

Of course, it was closely related to the contract that was about to be signed.

Zhao Rui also understood Character’s intentions. He reluctantly suppressed his dissastifaction and said, “Ming Yu’s reputation is worst than that of Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian, but they didn’t shoot the cover of ‘Meditation Road’ or appear in ‘Lanka’.”
