Chapter 111 Miss Shen, do you know Shen Mei?
Ye Ningshuang's hand trembled slightly as she gripped Shen Wancheng's, revealing her inner excitement.
But she remained relatively calm, and it was clear that she was trying her best to control herself.
Thank you for your appreciation.
Shen Wancheng tilted her head towards the table and chairs next to her.
"How about we sit down and talk about cooperation?"
"it is good"
Everyone present sat down.
Shen Wancheng said to Ye Ningshuang.
"The modeling work I need is the same as the presentation scene I just told you about, but it's not walking the runway, it's a fashion design competition."
"Ah."
Ye Ningshuang did not rush to agree, but thought for a moment before solemnly saying, "The competition is no problem either."
The more Shen Wancheng looked at Ye Ningshuang, the more satisfied she became.
Ye Ningshuang's behavior reveals that although she is short of money, she is a very sensible and intelligent person.
"Does Ms. Ye have an agent? What are your salary requirements?"
Ye Ningshuang glanced at Zhou Heng before speaking.
"I don't have an agent, and I don't have any salary requirements. Ms. Shen, you can offer whatever you want. However, I just passed the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and I'm wondering if the organizers will impose any restrictions on me taking on other activities during the competition."
Upon hearing Ye Ningshuang's words, Zhou Heng smiled slightly.
Thinking to himself that Ye Ningshuang was very sensible.
Ye Ningshuang herself didn't make any requests, but she was worried that Zhou Heng, the middleman for this event, might have some requests. That's why she brought up the competition organizers. If Zhou Heng wanted to say something, he could say it naturally at this moment.
Zhou Heng, who has risen to the position of deputy director, wouldn't care about Ye Ningshuang's small cut from this event.
But he was the middleman in this matter. If Ye Ningshuang simply sever ties with him, he will not take care of Ye Ningshuang in the future.
Shen Wancheng understood what Ye Ningshuang meant by those words.
Unlike Ye Ningshuang, she didn't mince words and asked directly.
“Mr. Zhou, you introduced this person, so we should naturally hear your opinion on our cooperation. What do you think?”
Zhou Heng said with a smile.
"I'm already very happy that I can help Miss Shen settle this matter today. I have no other objections."
Shen Wancheng nodded.
“Alright, since Mr. Zhou said this matter won’t affect Miss Ye’s competition, then Miss Ye can rest assured to cooperate with me.”
"Although this fashion competition I'm hosting isn't very well-known, it's highly prestigious. The judges include internationally renowned high-end luxury designers, and it's even broadcast live on television."
When Ye Ningshuang heard Shen Wancheng say that she could be on live television, her eyes lit up noticeably.
It's important to know that at that time, live television broadcasting technology was not yet widely used.
Even in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, only the later rounds are broadcast live; the earlier rounds are pre-recorded.
The fact that a competition can be broadcast live on television proves its prestige.
Furthermore, Ye Ningshuang had appeared on television before the Miss Hong Kong pageant aired, which gave her an impression on the public and made her more noticeable during the competition.
Before Shen Wancheng could state her requirements, Ye Ningshuang made her promise.
"I will definitely take this seriously and show my best side. I absolutely will not allow myself to make any mistakes."
Shen Wancheng was even more satisfied with Ye Ningshuang's attitude.
Since Ye Ningshuang has already said that, Shen Wancheng no longer needs to emphasize the importance of the competition.
"It's good that Ms. Ye understands how important the competition is to me. As for the salary, what do you think of HKD 20,000?"
Shen Wancheng didn't know how much models were paid for appearances in that era; she quoted a price based entirely on her gut feeling.
However, when Shen Wancheng saw the surprise in Zhou Heng's eyes, she knew that she had overestimated her chances.
However, Shen Wancheng didn't care about reporting too high a price. She genuinely liked Ye Ningshuang and was happy to let Zhou Heng think that she thought highly of Ye Ningshuang.
Ye Ningshuang was naturally very happy and had no reason to refuse.
"Miss Shen's price is very high, and I have no reason to refuse."
"Then it's settled. Give me your address, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
"No need to come to my house. Just tell me a time, and I'll wait for you downstairs at the TV station tomorrow."
"Okay, then let's make it 10 a.m. then."
"it is good."
Shen Wancheng asked again.
Do I need to pay you a deposit in advance?
Ye Ningshuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Could you give me five thousand first?"
"no problem."
Shen Wancheng has gotten used to life without Alipay QR code payments; she always carries several thousand yuan in cash with her.
She counted out five thousand yuan in cash from her bag and gave it to Ye Ningshuang.
"Count them."
Ye Ningshuang knew that Shen Wancheng wouldn't shortchange her, but counting the money in person was a responsible thing to do for both parties.
So Ye Ningshuang nodded roughly before speaking.
"no problem."
"That's all for today then." Shen Wancheng rarely showed concern for strangers. "Do you need me to have someone take you home? It's not safe for a girl to carry too much money."
"Thank you, but you don't need to see me off. I'll be careful."
"That's fine."
Ye Ningshuang left after she finished speaking.
Shen Wancheng then spoke to Zhou Heng.
"Mr. Zhou, there's something else I'd like to ask you."
"what's up?"
"It's that fashion competition I mentioned. I don't know if the organizers have arranged for it to be broadcast live, most likely not, but I want the competition to be broadcast live. I first want to know which channel it can be broadcast on, and then what I need to do?"
Unlike the later video era with its advanced internet, the 1980s did not allow any ordinary person to livestream with just a mobile phone.
Shen Wancheng was completely ignorant of the rules of the entertainment industry in this era.
"If the timing is right, our station can broadcast it, but you will need to pay for all the costs incurred by rescheduling the original TV programs during the live broadcast."
"There's no problem with the fees. The match will be held the day after tomorrow from 2 PM to 5 PM."
"I can't be sure right now whether the program in this time slot can be rescheduled to another time. I'll have to wait until tonight to give you an answer."
"No problem. If your station can't do it, I hope Mr. Zhou can help me arrange a time on another station."
"No problem, I can guarantee there will be a platform for you to broadcast live."
Shen Wancheng sincerely thanked her, "Then thank you in advance."
After finishing her business, Shen Wancheng planned to leave.
However, before leaving, Shen Wancheng thought of Ye Ningshuang's cautious demeanor when she came in, and could tell at a glance that Ye Ningshuang probably didn't have any powerful backing.
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry of this era, even those with powerful backers but not strong enough connections found it difficult to get by, let alone those without any backers.
Shen Wancheng was unaware that Ye Ningshuang had been summoned by Zhou Heng in front of all the contestants.
But Shen Wancheng knew that once Ye Ningshuang appeared on the live TV broadcast and came into the public eye earlier than the other contestants, Ye Ningshuang, who had no background, would definitely be ostracized, and many people would also extend olive branches to her.
Shen Wancheng hasn't considered whether to support Ye Ningshuang long-term, but she feels that with the abilities and intelligence Ye Ningshuang has shown today, it's worth her guaranteeing Ye Ningshuang's safety.
So before Shen Wancheng left, she said to Zhou Heng.
"Please keep an eye on Ye Ningshuang in the near future, Mr. Zhou. I don't want her to be envied by others because of our cooperation."
After an afternoon of interaction, Zhou Heng had already experienced Shen Wancheng's intelligence and judgment.
So it's not surprising that Shen Wancheng could think of these things.
He agreed immediately.
"Don't worry about that. I made a point of showing my face in front of the contestants today. My words are enough to keep those girls in check."
"That's fine."
Shen Wancheng gave no further explanation.
Zhou Heng suddenly asked Shen Wancheng a question.
"Miss Shen, do you know someone named Shen Mei?"
