Chapter 53
The group changed the topic, and Song Luokui also let out a sigh of relief, nearly revealing herself.
On the other side, Chi Yu immediately called back after being hung up, but it showed the other party had turned off their phone.
Chi Yu wondered if her phone had run out of battery? But then he suddenly thought of Song Luokui's appearance in the video - her exquisite little face, her eyes wide open when she saw him, her small mouth slightly parted, then her flustered look, before the video was cut off.
Chi Yu supported his chin with his hand, then leaned back in his chair, covering his eyes with his elbow. How could she be so adorable?
Around 4pm, after the afternoon tea ended, Song Luosheng came to pick her up. "How was it today? Did you have fun?"
Song Luokui: "It was quite fun."
In the car, Song Luokui saw a message from Chi Yu asking why she had suddenly cut off the video.
Song Luokui glanced sideways at Song Luosheng, who was driving carefully, and quickly replied to Chi Yu: "I'll tell you later."
Chi Yu quickly responded: "Okay."
After more than half an hour, they finally arrived home. Song Luokui went upstairs to her room, locked the door, and then replied to Chi Yu: "I was at an afternoon tea party earlier."
Chi Yu: "Can you talk now?"
Song Luokui: "Yes."
Chi Yu immediately made a video call, which Song Luokui had never done with him before. She found it a bit strange but still answered. "What's up?"
Chi Yu finally saw Song Luokui in her lolita dress again. "Was the theme princess today?"
Song Luokui: "Huh?"
Chi Yu: "You look like a princess now."
Song Luokui felt her face flush and fanned herself. "It's lolita style. We all dressed like that this afternoon."
Chi Yu: "Pretty cute."
Song Luokui: "...Um...thanks."
Chi Yu: "Having a late night snack?"
Song Luokui: "Can't, my brother is home." Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu's side, it seemed he was in an office. "Are you still at work? Isn't it the weekend today?"
Chi Yu: "Yeah, overtime."
Song Luokui: "You must be very hard-working." She had thought he had three heads and six arms before, but it turned out he was just like her brother.
Chi Yu: "Do you want to come see me?"
Song Luokui: "...No."
Chi Yu: "Alright, I'll ask again when you're free."
After chatting for a while, Song Luokui felt tired and hung up. After ending the call, she immediately changed clothes. The outfit was pretty, but too fussy, and taking off the makeup was also a hassle.
After showering and freshening up, Aunt Gui had finished cooking the meal.
"Miss, dinner is ready."
"Okay~"
On Monday when classes resumed, Xu Jiarong suddenly sent a message in the class group, @ mentioning everyone.
"For those interested, you can participate in this event organized by Songhua Technology. If your article is selected, it can be a bonus point for getting a job at Songhua Technology after graduation."
Song Luokui immediately clicked to read about the activity. It turned out Songhua Technology was currently soliciting promotional articles, mainly targeting their latest sports watch.
Song Luokui had actually received information about this watch first-hand, and was even wearing one on her wrist currently.
Writing a promotional article for her brother's company seemed doable to her.
But before she could start writing, self-media on the internet had already begun fighting. Some self-media outlets said Songhua Technology's new product was better than the new product from Shanyu Technology under the Shan Yu Group, while others said Shanyu's was better than Songhua's.
They kept comparing the two companies back and forth.
The next day, Xu Jiarong forwarded another activity in the group: "This is an activity from Shanyu Technology, similar to the one from Songhua, also promoting their own products with prize money. Feel free to participate if interested."
Someone in the group said: "So this is Songhua and Shanyu fighting each other?"
"Which one will you guys write articles for?"
"Either one is fine, I heard the two bosses are both alumni from our school."
"Their corporate battles have nothing to do with us. As long as we get prize money, it doesn't matter who wins."
"That's right. I'll participate in both, maybe I can get two prizes, hehehe."
"First, your article needs to be selected. And don't you need to try out the product to write about it?"
"Just search online and modify it a bit."
Song Luokui also looked at Shanyu's activity but decided not to participate in that one.
The activity deadline was one week. Song Luokui spent three days writing and revising her article before submitting it to Songhua Technology's mailbox using a pen name without her real name.
The staff in Songhua's publicity department was working overtime to review the articles. Song Luokui's was quickly reviewed and forwarded to the manager's mailbox. Articles forwarded to the manager needed further review before being sent to the boss for the final decision.
At the Monday meeting, the publicity manager selected ten articles and handed them to Song Luosheng: "Boss, these are the ten articles selected from the submissions for the 'Shine' activity. I think this one is the best. This article seems to really understand our product and philosophy. Not only that, but the accompanying photos are super impactful."
Song Luosheng took a look. At first, he thought the article was indeed quite good, but then he saw the photos... Wait, that hand looked familiar?
And there was a small mark on the watch strap... that mark... it was his Luokui's!
Song Luosheng looked at the other articles. "Project the articles and have everyone vote."
"Okay."
Song Luosheng didn't participate in the voting himself, but he watched as his Luokui's article got first place.
"Notify the winners of these ten articles, then post them online for promotion."
"Sure."
When Song Luokui received the notification, she was surprised. She hadn't expected to win at all, given the number of submissions.
Unexpectedly, she got first place, and they even quickly sent her the prize money, and said she could continue submitting to them in the future.
Back at home, Song Luokui looked at her brother Song Luosheng watching the financial news and hesitantly asked, "Brother, I submitted an article for your company's 'Shine' activity. Did you know about that?"
Song Luosheng: "Mmhm."
Song Luokui sat beside him. "How did you know?"
Song Luosheng grabbed her hand. "Don't I know your hand? More importantly, the photo you took yourself - look, our products all have serial numbers."
Song Luokui hadn't noticed that.
"So...my first place..."
Song Luosheng looked at her. "You earned first place through your own ability. I didn't tell anyone, and I didn't participate in voting or selection."
Song Luokui was delighted. "Thank you, brother." 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m
Song Luosheng patted her head. "What are you thanking me for? You worked hard for it yourself."
"Hehehe."
The articles had been published online, and Songhua Technology had even paid to promote them. The first place winner truly deserved it, instantly getting over 100,000 likes.
