32: Chapter 32 It's really easy to make money off rich tycoons!

"I have a watch here that I haven't worn, and since it seems we have a connection, I'll give it to you today."

Zhao Dehai picked up a box and shoved it into Qin Xun's hands.

"I hope Mr. Qin won't mind!"

Xia Ning remained expressionless, a polite smile on her face.

Qin Xun was also very calm—or rather, he was faking it.

He feigned refusal against his true feelings, saying, "I cannot accept a reward without merit. These things are too valuable; how could I be so shameless?"

Zhao Dehai firmly shoved the watch into Qin Xun's hands.

"A watch worth over a hundred thousand—it is the watch's good fortune to be worn on the wrist of a dragon among men like Mr. Qin!"

Just as he was preparing for the international custom of refusing three times and giving three times, he saw Qin Xun smile, take the watch box, and turn to hand it to Xia Ning.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Zhao Dehai didn't expect Qin Xun to accept the gift so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"I just like making friends with people like Mr. Qin—generous."

The two sat down.

Xia Ning stood behind Qin Xun.

Qin Xun and Zhao Dehai chatted casually, as if old friends catching up.

Neither mentioned signing the contract.

But both knew clearly that they both needed to sign this contract.

It was just a matter of the price.

Suddenly, Qin Xun's phone alarm went off. It was his scheduled nap alarm.

He took out his phone, turned off the alarm, and opened Douyin. He unhid the video and made it public.

Then, he handed it to Zhao Dehai.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the video we shot yesterday. We worked overtime last night to edit it."

"Take a look, is it usable?"

Zhao Dehai held the phone with both hands, as if cradling an infant. Seeing the over 50,000 likes and the 1.57 million views displayed below, he couldn't hide his excitement.

If it hadn't been hidden for those few hours, with its explosive spread rate, wouldn't it already have over two million views?

Zhao Dehai looked up at Qin Xun and said loudly, "Mr. Qin, let's speak plainly."

"I am very satisfied with this advertisement. I have never been so satisfied with any advertisement before."

"I want to buy your Douyin account."

"Name your price!"

Hearing this, Qin Xun pursed his lips and fell silent. He sighed.

"Mr. Zhao, this Douyin account is not my personal property; it belongs to the company."

"I can't make the decision alone!"

Xia Ning was a bit surprised. This kid was finally looking at the company properly?

Zhao Dehai said loudly, "One million!"

Qin Xun: "Sold!"

Xia Ning was shocked. This price? So high! A huge profit! The money of a wealthy person is indeed easy to earn!

Xia Ning hurried out of the office and called Cheng Wan to prepare the contract.

Zhao Dehai sat in the meeting room, wanting to smoke, but had to hold back. He could tell at a glance that Qin Xun didn't smoke. People who don't smoke don't like the smell of smoke. Damn it! When talking to other advertising companies before, wasn't there always a cigarette in hand? Sometimes legs were even propped up on the conference table! But today... endure it!

This little friend Qin Xun had no idea how much profit this one Douyin account could bring him. What if he changed his mind? What then?

Zhao Dehai and Qin Xun looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Both felt a little insecure, afraid the other would back out.

Money wasn't the first priority for Qin Xun. The main thing was that the slacking system hadn't grown for two days. Now, the top priority was to secure the order and apply for an office. As for 1 million or 2 million, he didn't care much! There would definitely be plenty of this in the future.

In Cheng Wan's office, several department heads huddled together, eyes wide with shock.

"One million?"

"Just like that, one million?"

"Doesn't that mean the company is profitable?"

"Profitable just half a month after opening!"

Cheng Wan knocked on the table. "Stop discussing this. Quickly review the contract a few more times. If there are no issues, I'll print it out."

"Let Xia—let Xia Ning take it over to sign."

Xia Ning stood in the corner, watching them silently, a faint smile on her face. The company seemed to be on the right track! Her third attempt at starting a business shouldn't fail, right?

Fifteen minutes later, the contract was reviewed again and again. After confirming there were no issues, it was printed out.

Xia Ning brought the duplicate contract back to the meeting room.

Zhao Dehai quickly looked it over, signed immediately, and stamped it.

Qin Xun looked up at Xia Ning. "I sign? What about Sister Cheng?"

He wasn't quite sure who usually signed contracts of this level. It should be the boss, but the company boss might be detained in the USA for soliciting prostitutes. Then it would be the boss's number one lackey—Cheng Wan. It shouldn't fall to an intern like him.

Xia Ning said, "The company boss is still abroad and can't return for the time being. Sister Cheng's rank isn't high enough. You secured this deal, so you sign."

Qin Xun was stunned. Sister Cheng isn't high enough? And I am?

Zhao Dehai hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, you sign. I trust you."

Qin Xun had no choice but to sign. It felt like signing a contract of indenture. What kind of situation is this? I'm just a slacking employee. How could I do the boss's job? If the boss were a woman, doing the boss might be a different story.

After signing the contract, Zhao Dehai insisted on taking Qin Xun out to eat and drink to celebrate their brotherly bond.

Qin Xun refused: "I'm still at work."

Xia Ning looked at him indifferently, thinking, So you finally realize you have to work at the company?

Zhao Dehai pulled Qin Xun along. "Socializing is also part of work."

Qin Xun said, "I just finished lunch not long ago."

Zhao Dehai wouldn't let go. "Then we'll just have afternoon tea and a little wine; it won't be filling."

Helpless, Qin Xun had to leave the company with Mr. Zhao. Cheng Wan probably wouldn't say anything.

Following behind them were three beauties: Xiao Li, Xiao Liu, and Xia Ning.

There was a very nice tea restaurant near the office building. Qin Xun led them there.

Suddenly, they passed a fruit shop. At the entrance was a large display piled high with several boxes of apples.

Several young ladies were gathered around the fruit shop entrance, chattering away.

"Is this the hua niu apples from Shuitian on Douyin?"

"You saw that Douyin video too! A lot of the girls in our office are crazy about that handsome guy's physique!"

"Let's buy a few pounds to try!"

"Are these apples good?"

"I think they're okay. He called me 'baby,' he wouldn't lie to me, right?"

"Okay, then I'll buy two to try."

"These apples aren't cheap!"

"Good things are never cheap! They're still cheaper than durian anyway."

"Forget it! It's all for gifts anyway, and you have to give something good."

The group watched from afar.

Zhao Dehai wore a doting, motherly smile. Just one look, and he recognized they were hua niu apples.

He turned to look at Qin Xun. Is it that effective?

Qin Xun was also a bit surprised. Could it be because Douyin's algorithm prioritizes local dissemination and dissemination based on where the video content originated?

Does this have an immediate effect on apple sales?

Zhao Dehai suddenly walked over to Qin Xun, put an arm around his shoulder, acting like brothers.

"Little brother! Today, we two brothers must drink well, drink some good wine."

Qin Xun: "..." Brother! You're older than my dad!

Suddenly, Xia Ning walked over from behind and handed Qin Xun a high-end-looking black mask.

"Put it on! Don't get recognized by those fan girls, or they'll eat you alive!"

Qin Xun hurriedly put on the mask, looking like a low-key celebrity.

Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance from the mask and turned to look at the bright red lips of Xia Ning.

He knew that some lipsticks have a fragrance.

"Have you worn this mask?"
