One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife - Chapter 2969

Chapter 2969: Bro… Bro… Brother-in-law!
The two of them struck up a casual conversation as they drove along.

Yun Shishi asked, “Have you been busy with work lately?”

Hua Jin replied, “I’m not exactly busy, but I’ve been taking on many advertisement deals. It might have something to do with the viewership ratings of ‘Lethal Beauty’.”

Yun Shishi looked surprised. “Has ‘Lethal Beauty’ been very popular recently?”

Hua Jin nodded. “Yes. After your character died, the viewership ratings skyrocketed.”

Yun Shishi fell silent.

Hua Jin continued, “After all, with the death of the antagonist, the audience’s passion for drama has been revived! The good viewership ratings of ‘Lethal Beauty’ has brought me quite a number of advertisement deals.”

One of the biggest sources of income for celebrities was advertisements. It was, in fact, the main component.

Generally speaking, celebrities had a source of income from filming. Hua Jin’s status would bring him about a million yuan per episode he filmed. After deducting the company’s commission, he would pocket about six hundred thousand yuan after taxes. In other words, he would have received 36 million yuan for sixty episodes of ‘Lethal Beauty’.

That was a rather eye-catching figure.

This income alone was already something many people in the entertainment industry looked up to.

Yet this was only part of the income.

As a norm, apart from other dramas they could film in parallel, a celebrity would, on average, film two television dramas and one movie a year. In addition, there would be variety shows, stage appearances and all that. Thus, the remuneration from shooting advertisements still represented a significant part of their total earnings.

Advertisements were usually shot within a few days. In just a few days, they could earn millions. It was relaxing and simple work.

Hua Jin had more than ten endorsement deals under his belt, from high-end cosmetics, luxury brands and cell phones, to household appliances, snacks, drinks and shampoo…

The advertising budget depended on the purchasing power of fans.

Hua Jin’s fans were especially crazy and basically, having him as a spokesperson was a sure win.

Hence, it was no wonder that he had been feeling so energetic recently. How could he not be happy after having signed so many deals?

“Your popularity has been soaring!”

After all, the character played by Hua Jin was simply too likable.

Introverted and steady, from the start to the end, his popularity simply rose alongside that of the television series!

“My net worth has also doubled. Qin Zhou says that it’s rising faster than stock prices!”

“Ha ha ha!”

The car arrived at the night market. After parking the car, Hua Jin took Yun Shishi’s hand and started the search for ice cream. Finally, they found a barbeque restaurant that sold Baxy ice cream.

“Shishi, sit here and wait for me. I’ll get you some Baxy.”

Yun Shishi sat down obediently, eagerly looking forward to the much anticipated ice cream.

Three minutes later, Hua Jin returned with two sticks of Baxy, one of strawberry flavor, and the other, chocolate. He walked towards her with a smile and handed her the cup of strawberry flavored ice cream. Then he proceeded to help her tear it open.

“Here! Scoop!”

He handed her the spoon. However, just as he was sitting down, he suddenly sensed a cold presence beside him.

Shuddering involuntarily, he lifted his head. Then, his gaze fell on the man standing behind Yun Shishi and he sucked in a cold breath!

His eyes widened as though he had seen a ghost!

Yun Shishi heard his sharp intake of breath and was alarmed. Her hand, which was holding onto the spoon, paused as she asked nervously, “Hua… Hua Jin, what’s wrong?”

“Sis… Sister…” He stuttered for a moment before his words became incoherent. He was obviously scared out of his wits!

This made the woman nervous. “I’m here! What’s the matter?”

“Brother-in-law?”
