Chapter 324: 233. Trade alone? Bracelets x2!

"Thank you."

"Enjoy your meal..."

Watching the takeaway delivery guy stifle his laughter as he left, Liu Xin’an was at a loss for words.

As for why the delivery guy was struggling so hard to keep a straight face...

He glanced at the mirror by the door. The handsome man in the reflection wore a helpless expression, and the smudge of red on his thin lips was particularly striking.

Yes, at his request, Bae Juhyun had cooperatively, and very adorably, taken his lips in hers, allowing him to take whatever he desired.

The thing was, she had thoughtfully applied a fresh coat of lipstick just before doing so.

Initially, Liu Xin’an didn’t feel embarrassed, but after catching the bewildered look on the delivery guy’s face upon seeing him, he truly felt his face heat up.

Although it was too late for regrets, he could certainly rein in the woman who was now laughing merrily.

"No more messing around, let’s eat!"

Bae Juhyun, fending off Liu Xin’an’s tickling attack, quickly pled for mercy, while her eyes landed on the bag on the coffee table.

She was really hungry; most of the food she had at the company cafeteria was exceptionally bland.

It might have been very beneficial for refueling, but blandness was unavoidable.

Without exaggerating, their daily dinners were actually the direct motivation for them to keep going.

Naturally, tonight’s dinner was no exception.

"You’re filming a video later, right? The PPL you mentioned last time?"

PPL refers to embedded advertising, which is what they call it in Bae Juhyun’s circle, so when she found out Liu Xin’an was also doing this type of work, her first reaction was PPL.

Liu Xin’an nodded. After watching so many variety shows with Bae Juhyun, he was able to comprehend this fancy-sounding term.

Ads are just ads; there’s no need to make them so flashy.

"Right, are you going to help? Like last time, wear my clothes and a head cover, and then appear on the screen."

"Sure! Why not?"

Since it wouldn’t reveal her identity, and she could help her man make money, Bae Juhyun had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, for her at this moment, she didn’t want to miss any chance to appear alongside Liu Xin’an.

It was also a preparation for going public in the future. She didn’t plan to keep her love life hidden forever; if possible, she wanted to proudly introduce her beloved man to her fans and receive their blessings.

Rather than being constantly on edge, or even one day in the future, having to lie when asked about it.

"I’ll tell you how to shoot later, just cooperate with me."

"What’s your plan for the shooting?"

"Uh... just record a video where I’m tired from playing games, and then you suddenly burst through the door to give me a drink, which revives my energy after I drink it. That’s all we need for the video."

Bae Juhyun’s mouth hung open, her face a picture of confusion.

The explanation was a bit abstract; Bae Juhyun thought it over and felt that if they really shot it like this, the footage would indeed look very odd.

"Is that really okay? Won’t it be too weird?"

Liu Xin’an spread his hands: "That’s what the sugar daddy sponsor wants."

"...Does that really work?"

"That’s not my problem. I’m just getting paid a one-time fee."

"How much will they give?"

Liu Xin’an’s gaze fell on the familiar bracelet on Bae Juhyun’s wrist.

Ever since he had given it to her, whenever they met, Bae Juhyun would make sure to wear the bracelet.

"It’s about enough to buy a couple of these bracelets."

Bae Juhyun inhaled sharply, her eyes gleaming.

And that wasn’t an exaggeration; after all, Liu Xin’an had 5 million followers, though the active ones might need to be cut by ten... or even twenty.

But it was still an astonishing number.

The other reason for such a hefty payout was because he didn’t have a MCN (multi-channel network) agency behind him.

He got the deals from his small platform, and without an MCN taking its cut, he was able to keep sixty percent while the platform took forty percent.

It was the kind of split top-tier creators could expect.

And such deals came about once a month, as a rule.

Thus, Liu Xin’an’s income wasn’t much less than Bae Juhyun’s, and sometimes... he even made more than the big star Bae Juhyun.

This was also why companies were so eager to develop in the Chinese market.

The scale was just different.

"That much?!"

"Uh... after all, I am one of the top traffic-generating uppers on the small platform, so this kind of income is normal."

"Then... Can we shoot more of these?"

"...Juhyun, that’s a bit embarrassing."

Seeing his girlfriend this excited, Liu Xin’an felt torn.

But precisely because his girlfriend was so thrilled, he grew curious.

"How do you guys usually distribute your earnings from work?"

"Us? We split group activities evenly, and for solo activities, we take a portion and then share the rest with the team."

Liu Xin’an did some quick mental math and became somewhat puzzled.

That meant... Bae Juhyun had the most endorsements in the group, but the least solo activities.

So, was his girlfriend actually making a profit or a loss?

He wouldn’t ask; too many questions could jeopardize the stability of her team.

Money can be frightening sometimes. Liu Xin’an once had an experience of being conned by a high school friend who was very close to him.

They used to be so close, yet for twenty thousand yuan, the friend chose to cut him off and never interact with him again.

He simply couldn’t understand it.

"Alright, let’s eat first. After the meal, help me with the video."

"Sure!"

Now that she knew they were about to earn a considerable sum, Bae Juhyun’s enthusiasm for her meal swelled.
