Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 314: Sweat and Tears

"Without sales, the endorsement period will be short and the fees will be low. Just like I said, it's like testing the waters. See how much sales there are. If it exceeds expectations, the contract can be renewed." Zhu Youlin looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Merchants are not fools. What the brand wants is your popularity, to be converted into real money."

"I understand." Ye Zhenzhen nodded in understanding. "Compared to Jingzhe's fame, we're more like a match."

"Since Zhenzhen started this, I might as well make my point clearer." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her clear, almond-shaped eyes and said, "The brand wanted to invite Jingzhe, but we turned her down. So, as a second choice, they invited you four, and it just so happens that both of your medley relay teams won gold medals."

"I understand!" Zina looked at her with her round eyes.

"You've explained it very clearly. I thought any champion could get an endorsement. But after the Olympics, there weren't many champions who got endorsements, especially in lesser-known sports." Lian Ximei looked at her with her lively eyes, her gaze landing on Lin Jingzhe. "The fact that I'm able to get an endorsement now is thanks to Jingzhe."

"No matter how hard we try, we can't win eight gold medals." Zina looked at them gently with her round eyes.

"Yeah! There are a maximum of four medals in the Olympic events, and two of them are from the medley relay." Ye Zhenzhen looked directly at Lin Jingzhe with her fox eyes.

"It's best if you understand. Join forces to take on endorsements. I don't want you to become enemies over money." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her gentle almond-shaped eyes and said, "If you have any resentment or dissatisfaction, think about the tears we've shed together over the years."

"Yeah!" Zina and the others nodded in unison.

"I'll leave the endorsement matters to you guys later. Pick out three suitable ones." Zhu Youlin looked at them tenderly and said with a smile, "It's not a competing product with Jingzhe's, so there's no conflict."

"That's good!" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile.

"Don't you like jewelry?" Zhu Youlin said to them with a smile on her face, "One of them is from Hong Kong."

"Wow..." Ye Zhenzhen looked at Coach Zhu with eyes full of surprise, "Is this true?"

"Gold is the first choice." Zhu Youlin looked at her gently and said, "Don't you like diamonds?" she teased.

"I like them all." Ye Zhenzhen smiled sheepishly.

"Haha..." Zhu Youlin shook her head and laughed, "They are all internationally renowned brands, the quality is guaranteed, they are not three-no products." She smiled and said, "It cannot violate the Advertising Law."

"That's good." Lin Jingzhe said happily, "Do you have any variety show invitations?"

"Yes!" Zhu Youlin glanced at them and said, "You can discuss it among yourselves. If anyone wants to be on, please let us know, and we'll discuss the details later." She said honestly, "Variety shows are very profitable, even more than endorsements." Looking at their delight, she said, "It's just that this requires a very high level of improvisation, and you have to be well-educated and polite."

"I understand learning. You should control yourself in your speech and behavior. Why do you still have to be polite?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"Respect the elderly and love the young! Respect your seniors. Don't think you're a champion and look down on others." Zhu Youlin's bright eyes looked at them and said, "You're newcomers when you go to film a variety show. Newcomers should learn more and ask more questions, instead of expecting others to tolerate you. There's nothing so natural in this world. Especially when it comes to getting along with others, there's a lot of knowledge involved! This should be called emotional intelligence."

Hearing this, Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his crystal-clear eyes and said, "If you're interested, you can watch more variety shows and see what others think." He smiled and said, "But many variety shows are scripted."

"A script?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at her with her eyes wide open. "A script for the filming?"

"Right!" Lin Jingzhe nodded after hearing this. "In short, a lot of variety shows are just acting, with established characters. After so many years in the entertainment industry, which is a mixed bag, there are no pure people anymore."

"I just found out today." Lian Ximei said in surprise.

"We seldom watch TV dramas and variety shows on weekdays, so it's normal that we don't know." Lin Jingzhe said to them with his bright peach blossom eyes.

"What can I say about the entertainment industry? They don't focus much on academics, so personal qualities aren't very high." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her deep almond-shaped eyes and said, "The entertainment industry is under the spotlight, so you must hear a lot of gossip and entertainment! It's much more chaotic than our sports world."

"I know, I know!" Zina smiled and said, "I love reading gossip and entertainment the most."

"Variety shows make money quickly, much faster than endorsement fees. I hope you don't forget your own jobs and get dazzled by the glamour of the entertainment industry." Zhu Youlin said to them with her dim almond-shaped eyes.

"No, no." Ye Zhenzhen shook her head like a rattle when she heard that.

"Wait until you see it first." Zhu Youlin said to them with her deep black eyes.

It’s useless to say anything now!

"Coach Zhu, look at my performance. I know results mean everything." Ye Zhenzhen clenched her fists and said, "Why would anyone come to me without results?"

"I hope you won't forget your original intention and become obsessed with money." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her calm almond-shaped eyes and said, "Okay, you have a lot of time to consider. If you want to take on endorsements or variety shows, you have to wait until after the National Games."

"I understand." Lin Jingzhe and the others said in unison.

"Okay, now that you're full, go back quickly, take a shower, and have a good sleep. The high-intensity and intensive competitions over the past half month have consumed your physical strength and put you mentally extremely strained." Zhu Youlin looked at them gently and said warmly.

"I've finished eating the watermelon." Lin Jingzhe pointed at the watermelon on the plate and said with a smile.

"If we share it, it will be gone." Zhu Youlin reached out and picked up a piece of watermelon and said, "Our watermelon is still the best, juicy and sweet."

"Eat it quickly! After the beginning of autumn, the taste of watermelon has greatly reduced." Lin Jingzhe said to them with his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"The season is the season. It's different after the beginning of autumn." Zhu Youlin said to them with her gentle almond-shaped eyes.

After eating the watermelon, Lin Jingzhe and the others got up and went back to their rooms.

Lin Jingzhe took a hot bath, lay on the bed, and turned off her cell phone. No one could wake her up.

I slept until sunset, and the room was dyed red by the sunset.

Lin Jingzhe stretched, took out her cell phone and turned it on. There was no call. She curled the corners of her lips. They really understood her.

"Eat, and then call me back after dinner." Lin Jingzhe got out of bed, washed up simply, changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants for going out, and left the apartment.

When Lin Jingzhe opened the door, he saw Qi Na and the others coming out. The four of them smiled at each other and said, "Let's go and have dinner."
