Chapter 16: Never Willing

(Thanks to the three students of 'Ye Zhengnan', 'Taiyi Daozun', and 'The Man Under the Umbrella' for their tips, thank you!)

"Why are you here in person today? Are you idle?"

After Deng Lijun left Hong Kong, Wu Cheng resumed his previous house life.

In the morning, after Zhao Yazhi went to work, someone from the City Entertainment Daily came to ask for a manuscript, but he didn't expect that the person who came was actually Wu Shulan herself, Wu Cheng smiled and quipped.

Wu Shulan smiled and said, "Don't you invite me in to sit?"

"Okay!

After letting Wu Shulan in, Wu Cheng said, "Just sit down! What do you want to drink?"

Wu Shulan turned her head to look around, and said with a smile at the end: "It's very warm here! No wonder you stay in this gentle township, and you can't miss it." ”

"Please! I've been living here since I came to Xiangjiang!

"Are you really going to stay here forever and not visit our house?"

"It's not time yet!" Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to be regarded by some people as poor relatives who have come to join you, and after I become famous, I guess there will be no one else." ”

"Then when are you going to see my grandfather, your uncle?"

"This ...... Isn't it his old man who has the final say?"

"That's pretty much it!" Wu Shulan laughed, then handed him a bulging yellow letter, and said, "Oh, this is for you!"

"What is this?" Wu Cheng asked, took it and opened it, and found a stack of Hong Kong dollars inside, estimated to be fifty or sixty thousand, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are there so many?"

"Of them, 40,000 yuan is because you pointed out the planning fee for the revision of the Urban Entertainment Newspaper, which is considered a reward for you, and you deserve it. Originally, there were 50,000 yuan, but as you said before, what you owe will be deducted from your bonus, and I will deduct it myself, our uncles and nephews, settle the accounts!"

"The other 25,000 yuan is your manuscript fee in the past few days!" Wu Shulan smiled slightly and said: "Speaking of which, you are now the first person to be paid in the Xiangjiang novel industry, if you let those old-timers know, I don't know if you will be scolded to death!"

Wu Cheng chuckled lightly, and said, "It's best not to let outsiders know about this matter, otherwise someone will definitely jump out and say that you are breaking the rules." At that time, if other authors also ask them to increase their manuscript fees because of this, urban entertainment will have many enemies. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!" Wu Shulan said in high spirits.

Wu Cheng glanced at her and said with a smile: "You won't relax like this, hehe, if that's the case, it won't take long for the City Entertainment News to be stepped on again!"

"What do you mean?"

"The reason why Urban Entertainment News has such sales is now largely due to the success of the revision. Do you think other newspaper societies are stupid not to plan to revise their editions? Those big newspapers have more resources than you, so as long as they are relieved, can you beat them?" Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "What you have to do now is to maintain your superiority and move forward bravely, and you can't be complacent and stop moving forward because of a small achievement." ”

"Then little uncle, tell me, how can we maintain our advantage?"

"What do you think you should do?" Wu Cheng asked rhetorically.

At this time, Wu Shulan completely treated Wu Cheng as an adult.

"Expand the size of the team of reporters, dig out more star news, find more news materials, hire famous film critics with high salaries, write film reviews, and then look for more excellent digests...... Wu Shulan said everything she could think of.

Looking at Wu Cheng's look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Wu Shulan felt a little weak. It seems that he has learned media in vain, but he is not as knowledgeable as a child.

It wasn't until Wu Shulan was a little uncomfortable that Wu Cheng said: "What you said is right, but the most fundamental thing has not been solved, that is, talent management." What is the most important thing for a successful business? It is not capital, not connections, but talent. What is the most direct means to retain talents? It is not the constraints of contracts, nor the maintenance of emotions, but the combination of interests. There is a time when the contract ends, and there is a time when the emotion fades, and only the interests are eternal. ”

Wu Shulan felt that the little uncle in front of him was simply a demon, and at a young age, he saw the world too clearly!

"As for how to improve the salary, I don't need to say it!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "In addition to this, what you said before really needs to be strengthened. In addition, there is another point, as a media, we must have a bottom line, do not report everything, and some things must be considered. By the way, your urban entertainment newspaper has not yet produced a supplement! If you want to make a magazine, you can position it as a fashion entertainment magazine and make it a semi-monthly magazine. Nowadays, fashion in Hong Kong is still in the germination state, if you can walk in the front, it can definitely lead the fashion trend in Hong Kong......"

"Little uncle, what do you think of this fashion magazine?"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "It's a little idea, I'll make a plan first, and then I'll find you later! You get ready first, at most half a month, I can be ready here!"

"That's it, find a time to meet my grandfather!"

"You arrange it! I usually have time!"

"Well, how about the Peninsula tomorrow afternoon?"

"Forget about the Peninsula Hotel! There are too many celebrities coming and going, if you really go there, I guess your family will soon know that my 'poor relative' has appeared!"

"You're not a poor relative now!"

"In their eyes!"

"Okay! Just come to my newspaper!"

"That's it!"

……

After sending Wu Shulan away, Wu Cheng casually put the large envelope next to his desk, and then entered the working state. After finishing a day's draft, Wu Cheng began to write a plan for a fashion magazine.

Although in the previous life, he almost didn't know what a fashionable dead house was, but looking at the current trend from the perspective of the 21st century, I really felt that people at this time were dressed in special clothes.

Therefore, for this point, Wu Cheng's confidence is still quite large.

Moreover, Wu Chengdu has already found a good model, that is Zhao Yazhi. He wants to build Zhao Yazhi into a big beauty who combines fashion, nobility, elegance and other temperaments, and wants all people who follow the trend to take her dress as a benchmark.

After Zhao Yazhi came back in the evening, Wu Cheng had already finished writing the plan.

At the same time, he began to draw some sketches of clothing, and in terms of painting, Wu Cheng had learned some in his previous life, and also learned comics for a period of time, but later gave up. And Wu Cheng in this life was forced by his grandfather to learn calligraphy and Danqing since he was a child, and his painting skills were more than one or two streets higher than that of him in his previous life. So, it's okay to draw some sketches.

A few simple lines composed of clothing drawings directly outline the beauty of those clothes to the fullest. However, the drawings that looked beautiful in Wu Cheng became a little strange in Zhao Yazhi's eyes. I have to say that this is the difference in the aesthetics of the times.

However, Wu Cheng believes that as long as these clothes are made and matched with hairstyles, he can make Zhao Yazhi a very fashionable and charming woman. In particular, her innate dignified atmosphere and noble and elegant temperament cannot be imitated by others.

"How did you come up with the idea of designing clothes? Did you learn this before?"

Zhao Yazhi looked at Wu Cheng a little strangely, and always felt that the thoughts in Wu Cheng's head were really strange, could it be that these clothes were the clothes in the mainland? But this is impossible!

The news from the mainland can still be seen occasionally on the Xiangjiang side. From the pictures in those newspapers, it can be seen that the mainland is quite backward.

"It's a talent that no one else can learn. Wu Cheng smiled proudly and said, "Sister Zhi, these are specially designed for you, when you come back and make them, you can try again, and then see how I will build you into a fashionable, noble, atmospheric, and elegant woman." When Chow Tai Fook comes to us to shoot an advertisement again, there will be nothing wrong with us opening our mouths!"

"Did you plan it a long time ago?" asked Zhao Yazhi in surprise.

"The plan is certain, but it's also a coincidence, and I wanted to wait. Wu Cheng couldn't help pausing as he spoke, and finally looked at Zhao Yazhi and said, "Sister Zhi, when you become famous, TVB will ask you to sign a contract, don't sign it to them, TVB is too picky, it's a vampire." And in the future, I'm going to open a film company, so I have to leave it to me. Of course, if they are willing to sign a contract with you, they can consider it. ”

"What, you want to open a film company?" Zhao Yazhi was once again shocked by Wu Cheng.

"There's nothing strange about this!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Only if we open a film company by ourselves, Sister Zhi will be able to film if she wants in the future, and rest if she wants to!"

"Cheng Zai, do you know how much it costs to make a movie?"

"You know!"

"I know you still dare to mess around, what if you lose it?"

"It's better to write more novels even if no one reads the novels, Sister Zhi can still support me!" Wu Cheng said with a grin, not taking it seriously at all.

Zhao Yazhi was made to cry and laugh by Wu Cheng's hangerlang, but in the end, he emotionally hugged Wu Cheng in his arms and said softly: "Xiao Cheng, why are you so good to me?"

Nestled in her arms, Wu Cheng found a very comfortable position, leaned on the two elastic softness, breathed in the fragrant fragrance, closed his eyes and smiled: "Actually, there are not so many whys, I just want to see Sister Zhi happy and happy." Sister Zhi, would you like to create such a happy paradise with me?"

"But...... But I don't know anything, and I don't know how I can help you. ”

At this time, Zhao Yazhi did not have Wu Cheng's confidence.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Sister Zhi only needs to be in charge of beauty, I'll make money!"

"That'...... I'll give it a try!"

"Then we'll settle it!"

"Don't sell me! I'm so stupid, you're so smart, you may still be helping you count the money when the time comes!" Zhao Yazhi pouted coquettishly.

At this time, she didn't realize that the expressions of the two at this time were not like sisters and younger brothers at all, but like brothers and sisters!

"How can I be reluctant! I will never be reluctant!" Wu Cheng muttered.

When Zhao Yazhi heard this, she was a little confused for a while.
