136. Coolrun

Chen Shan picked up his phone and checked on it. He smiled happily.

“It’s from the Publicity Department of Coolrun,” Chen Shan said after quickly reading the text message, “They are asking if they can meet you tomorrow afternoon?”

Qi Le An was surprised and asked, “So quick?”

Chen Shan nodded and said, “You happen to be free tomorrow afternoon. Shall I say yes?”

Qi Le An said, “Okay.” He had thought of carefully studying Coolrun Sports, but now he had to look at the key points in haste.

Wei Chang Feng was drinking the porridge. When he heard the conversation, he said, “Coolrun? Gary seems to have some information about their branding strategy. I’ll ask him to send that to you.”

After the two of them got together, they seldom interfered with each other’s work. Qi Le An only knew when Wei Chang Feng would be on vacation with him and when he would be working. As for what he was busy with, Qi Le An had hardly asked.

Qi Le An’s life was much simpler. He acted in the movie, went to school, and took a few advertisements occasionally. He didn’t have commercial activities.

Gary heard Wei Chang Feng and said, “There seems to be something in my computer. I’ll send it to Chen Shan later.”

Chen Shan said, “That’s great. You don’t have to search for the information.”

Qi Le An was speechless.

“Wei Sama, how do you feel now?” Qi Le An changed the topic and looked at Wei Chang Feng, who was drinking the porridge.

Wei Chang Feng had finished the porridge in the bowl and he sang high praise, “This is the best porridge I’ve ever had.”

Chen Shan and Gary looked away, and Qi Le An blushed.

Wei Chang Feng had not recovered from the cold, so he went upstairs to sleep after he ate the porridge. Qi Le An didn’t mind sleeping with him, but Wei Chang Feng refused to share the bed. In the end, Qi Le An had to compromise and move to Chen Shan’s room.

Chen Shan’s room was in a mess. His suitcases were piled in the corner, and his clothes were scattered everywhere. Chen Da had brought two laptops. One was for work, and the other was for games.

Qi Le An thought the laptop for work was old and shabby, while the one for video games looked very expensive.

Chen Shan put his old laptop on the table and said, “Gary has sent the information over. Take a look… Hasn’t Coolrun hired any stars before? Why does Wei Chang Feng have the information?”

Qi Le An was not surprised. Wei Chang Feng was capable, and it was normal that he had the information.

Gary’s compressed documents were divided into several parts, including the brand culture, the introduction of key products, the current CEO’s information, and even the marketing advertisements for the past few years. It took Qi Le An more than two hours to finish reading these. Meanwhile, Chen Shan had been playing games quietly beside him.

When Chen Shan saw Qi Le An finally look up from the laptop, Chen Shan asked, “How is it?”

Qi Le An answered, “The information is complete. I’ve read it all. Are we meeting Deng Jie tomorrow?”

Deng Feng was the Publicity Department manager of Coolrun. She was forty-eight years old and had been working for Coolrun for twenty-five years.

Chen Shan typed on the keyboard and ended his game. “Yes, it’s her. I heard she’s particularly difficult to deal with!”

In Gary’s information, Deng Yu was a celibatarian. She remained single and was exceptionally vigorous in work. After she became the head of the Publicity Department, she had successfully planned several marketing promotions. It was her idea to change the tradition and use stars instead of athletes in the advertisement.

Qi Le An leaned back on his chair, looking at the lamp on the ceiling and recalling the information. “It’s her idea, so it would be easier. By the way, does Coolrun invite other artists this time?”

Chen Shan was a qualified agent and he answered, “Yes, apart from you, there is…Li Zhe Yu. Do you remember him?”

Li Zhe Yu!

Qi Le An sat up straight in the chair. How could he not remember Li Zhe Yu? This man was arrogant and domineering when went to the audition of Better Days. Fortunately, Qi Le An was not bullied by him as Chen Shan was around. Qi Le An’s only skeleton in the closet was exposed by Li Zhe Yu.

Qi Le An was angry when he thought of that man. He was no longer the rookie when he was reborn. He said, “Chen Ge, I must take this endorsement!”

Chen Shan knew about Qi Le An’s past and nodded, “I believe you can make it.”

Qi Le An smiled at his words.

Qi Le An had another scene to shoot the next morning. That night, he slept early after discussing with Chen Shan. He was worried about Wei Chang Feng, and he was the first to wake up among the four people in the morning.

Chen Shan was sleeping soundly with a pillow in his arms. The pillow between the two of them had long been kicked off the bed. Qi Le An looked at Chen Shan speechlessly for two seconds before quietly getting out of bed to see Wei Chang Feng at the next door.

Wei Chang Feng woke up the moment Qi Le An pushed the door open. After he took the medicine and had a good sleep yesterday, his low fever was gone. However, he had not recovered from the cold and his nose was still stuffy. Qi Le An found his voice very sexy.

Qi Le An felt desperate for his desire.

Wei Chang Feng lay on the bed and said in a hoarse voice, “Come, hug me.”

Qi Le An approached and touched Wei Chang Feng’s head. “The fever is down…”

Wei Chang Feng sat up and hugged Qi Le An, rubbing against him. “The fever has been down from last night…”

Qi Le An turned his head to kiss Wei Chang Feng, who abruptly moved back. Qi Le An missed his face.

“I haven’t recovered from the cold yet. Be good.” Wei Chang Feng said apologetically.

Qi Le An turned his head and felt sad. He never thought that one day he would beg for a kiss!

There was a knock on the door, and they heard Gary’s voice, “Wei Sama, are you awake? How do you feel?”

Wei Chang Feng said, “I’m awake I’m fine.”

Gary was thinking that there was no need to ask for leave. The next second, he saw Qi Le An open the door.

Gary thought there was something wrong with Qi Le An.

Chen Shan happened to get up and came out yawning. He asked at the sight of Qi Le An. “Xiao An, didn’t you sleep with me last night?”

Qi Le An, whose desire was not satisfied, glared at the two of them and went straight downstairs.

Chen Shan and Gary were puzzled.

Qi Le An failed to get the morning kiss and felt depressed. He left the house early and went to Associate Director for the missed scenes. At noon, after Qi Le An had just finished filming, he suddenly received a package.

The package was not big, but there was no sender written on it. Qi Le An asked Chen Shan in bewilderment, “What is this?”

Chen Shan smiled mischievously, “A gift. Didn’t you lose temper this morning?”

Qi Le An was lost for words.

Qi Le An found a corner to unpack his package. He found a square black box inside. He opened it and saw a purple smart bracelet.

‘The color for gays…’

Qi Le An asked Chen Shan, “What is this?”

Chen Shan didn’t say anything. Qi Le An went through the box and saw a small note.

“This smart bracelet is the limited edition released by Coolrun to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Honey, you will win the endorsement. I love you.”

Coolrun was founded in 1991, and this was a limited-edition bracket of its 20th anniversary… That was two years ago. Where did Wei Chang Feng get a bracelet from two years ago for Qi Le An?

Qi Le An smiled at ‘honey’ and ‘I love you in the note.

When you are in love, your eyes will be filled with happiness.

Although he knew he’d better destroy the note, Qi Le An happily folded and put it away. He took a deep breath and carefully put the purple bracelet on his wrist. He said to Chen Shan with a bright smile, “Chen Ge, let’s go.”

Chen Shan was lost for words with his sudden change.

They were going to meet Deng Jie at three o’clock in the afternoon. Chen Shan and Qi Le An went back to the house and ate a takeaway lunch. After that, Qi Le An washed up and get dressed up. By the time they arrived at the appointed cafe, it was already two-fifty.

Deng Jie was very busy and she raced against the clock. She even met a star in a cafe below her office.

The cafe was located in a CBD, so all the seats were occupied. Qi Le An asked in the car, “Is it good to talk here?”

Chen Shan also frowned. There was no seat there. How could they talk?

It was two fifty now. Chen Shan asked, “Shall I call her and ask?”

Qi Le An shook his head. After he thought for two seconds, he gritted his teeth. “Let’s go.”

Chen Shan hesitated, but Qi Le An put on the cap in his seat and pushed open the car door.

Chen Shan had to get out of the car with Qi Le An.

The two of them stood at the door of the cafe, where people passed them by. They felt embarrassed.

Two minutes later, Deng Jie arrived.

She was attired in a suit, wearing light makeup and black-rimmed spectacles. She pursed her red lips tightly, which left the impression on Qi Le An that she was not easy to deal with.

She didn’t seem to be surprised by the crowd at the cafe, looking at Qi Le An with a trace of scrutiny.

Qi Le An extended out his right hand and smiled at Deng Jie. “Hello, Ms. Deng, I’m Qi Le An.”

Deng Jie shook hands with him and said, “Hello.”

She looked at the young man in front of her. When she saw the bracelet on Qi Le An’s left wrist, she paused and said, “It’s the limited edition from two years ago. There were less than twenty of them at that time.”

Qi Le An looked down at his purple smart bracelet, smiling. “It’s a gift from someone, who wished me good health.”

Deng Yu finally smiled at him.

The slogan Coolrun was ‘Love sports and enjoy health’. Although it was a cliche, it was true.

“It’s too crowded here. Let’s go to a quieter place,” Deng Jie said.

Qi Le An sensed something. Deng Jie worked here, so she should know the cafe below her office would be crowded. Why did she ask to meet him here? Was it a test?

Deng Jie didn’t say anything else and turned to lead the way. Qi Le An and Chen Shan quickly followed her. They walked for three minutes, and Deng Jie led them into a quiet cafe.

She skillfully found a seat and sat down. A waiter came over with the menu. After they ordered some drinks, Deng Jie said, “You’re better than I imagined. I thought I was going to receive your call.”

Qi Le An paused and then smiled. “I wouldn’t do that. We made an appointment.”

Deng Jie gave a meaningful smile and started the second test.
