Chapter 1348: This Is Her Backer
Lu Xingzhi knew that Xiao Zulinqing usually didn’t come looking for her if there was nothing going on. Once she took the initiative to show up, it definitely meant something was up.
"Since you’re clearly free right now, why not work?" Xiao Zulinqing simply brought the work directly to her door.
"What kind of work? Worth you making a special trip?" If Lu Xingzhi remembered correctly, today was only the third day of the Lunar New Year!
"Does our studio not have a holiday? Aren’t we off until the sixth?" Lu Xingzhi really didn’t want people calling her Lu Bapi again.
Hugging a stack of materials, Xiao Zulinqing said, "You’re right, that’s how it is. But you also know, in our circle there’s basically no such thing as holidays. Sometimes when things get busy, it has nothing to do with festivals at all."
"I’ve got a gala performance here, plus two endorsements, all of which I’d like to give to you. Take a look, this one’s a watch, a domestic brand. Since they came to me, I figured I’d bring it to you." Mainly, the money was good.
By now, Lu Xingzhi was fully qualified to be picky about endorsements.
"And the other one?" Lu Xingzhi still felt it was a bit off for Xiao Zulinqing to come over on the third day of the New Year.
"A luxury car."
"So there’s really nothing else?" Lu Xingzhi had said she’d take a break for a while, and she genuinely didn’t plan on doing much.
Especially this kind of endorsement commercial.
"There is one more thing: Ah Si and I are together now." Xiao Zulinqing finally said, a little embarrassed.
Lu Xingzhi: "So you specially came over just to tell me that?"
That was fast.
Sure enough, adults’ relationships move quicker.
"Sort of! I mean, nobody else knows what our relationship is. Only you do. Honestly, I also came by to take a look at Ah Si." Xiao Zulinqing smiled so wide her eyes were squinting, her whole face glowing with happiness.
"See? Being in love does come with benefits. Look at you, all glowing. I’m not taking on any work for now, I’m taking a break." Lu Xingzhi had really thought Xiao Zulinqing came because something was wrong.
"There’s another thing: we’re planning to expand the studio. Recently I’ve spotted a few promising rookies I’d like to sign." Xiao Zulinqing took out her tablet and went through things with Lu Xingzhi point by point like a work report.
"Haven’t you always been the one making these calls?" Lu Xingzhi really did not want to bother with it.
The whole thing was completely different from her own field.
"As for expansion, have we found a suitable place? And what about funding? I don’t even know how much money I actually have under my name." Lu Xingzhi twisted her fingers, thinking it over.
"I think we can slowly grow into a proper company. We already have more people now; staying as just a studio doesn’t really fit anymore. We can’t keep squatting at President Huo’s place forever. Of course, this is our own issue to sort out."
Today’s visit from Xiao Zulinqing was actually about something fairly important.
It was something all of them on the management side had discussed together.
They just didn’t dare come over themselves, and felt awkward bringing it up, so they pushed her forward.
"Little Zhi Liao, what we’re thinking is, we can help with the funding issue as well."
"You guys want to get in on the shares?" Lu Xingzhi tapped her fingers. She wasn’t opposed, but once you start something like this, things inevitably change.
These people wanting to buy in wasn’t a problem; she trusted they wouldn’t dare try any funny business.
After all, Huo Jincheng was right downstairs.
He was the backing behind her. If they really tried anything, they’d have to face the consequences.
