In the practice room, as soon as Huang Yunling left, several girls quickly stepped forward and surrounded Su Muying.

Zhang Shaohan said: "Mu Ying, the president and Assistant Li have become closer and closer in the past two days, aren't you worried at all?" ”

Su Muying shook his head and said, "They did it on purpose to show me. If I hadn't known beforehand, I'd be sad. But I already know it, so I don't feel that way anymore, but I think it's fun! ”

"You mean they're making a show?" Zhang Liangying felt incredible, "This can't be, right?" ”

Su Muying saw that everyone was looking at her with puzzled eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then she said: "When I tried to sing a new song a few days ago, Teacher Huang and Teacher Chen were always dissatisfied, and they didn't say why. When I saw them go to Brother Chen Yuan together, I knew that what they were going to talk about was my problem. So, I secretly followed......"

"Ah, you're eavesdropping on them?" Wang Xinling covered her mouth with her hand.

Su Muying smiled, her little face was slightly red, and she said: "I didn't mean it, the situation at that time, people also wanted to know why!" ”

"But what does this have to do with the president and Assistant Li's play?" Zhang Shaohan asked.

"Singing requires true feelings, reaching a high realm, and requires the singer's thoughts and feelings to be integrated with the thoughts and feelings of the song. The song "Burning" is about the extreme grief after falling out of love, I haven't experienced the taste of falling out of love, and how do I know what it's like to be out of love? ”

Speaking of this, Su Muying smiled, and she said, "It's impossible for me to integrate with the thoughts and feelings of the song "Burning" at all. In order to let me experience the feeling of falling out of love, they decided to come to play a scene, and Brother Chen Yuan pretended to like Sister Li. That's the way it is. ”

"That's all you heard?" Wang Xinling asked curiously.

Su Muying bit her lip and said softly, "Most of them are heard, and a small part is guessed. But that's how it should be! In the past, when Brother Chen Yuan and Sister Li were together, they behaved very normally. They suddenly said they wanted to be together. Isn't that abnormal? ”

"But, Mu Ying, what if the president and Assistant Li are really getting closer and closer?" Zhang Liangying was very worried about her little sister, she said, "Assistant Li is so beautiful and temperamental, she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, as long as she is a man, she will be tempted by her, right?" Shepherd, if they fake the show and really do it. It really came together in the end, so what do you do? ”

When she said this, Su Muying's face suddenly became unnatural. Soon, though, she started laughing. The smile is very real and pure.

Zhang Liangying, Wang Xinling, and Zhang Shaohan glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

Su Muying said softly: "I was originally quite worried about this matter, but when I thought of the situation of Brother Chen Yuan and Sister Li, I was not worried at all. Chen Yuan's brother is only 18 years old this year. Sister Li is already 27 years old. How could they really come together when they were so different in age? ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case.

But at this moment, Avril next to her was a little anxious. The four girls talked for a long time. She didn't even understand what everyone was saying. I just vaguely heard words like Chen Yuan and Assistant Li. Avril took Zhang Shaohan's arm and asked Zhang Shaohan to translate for her. Among the four girls, Zhang Shaohan has the best English.

Zhang Shaohan briefly told Avril the content of everyone's conversation.

Avril laughed. She said to Su Muying: "Can't we come together if we are 9 years apart?" It's a funny argument. Do you know Madonna, the queen of music? Is she more covered than her husband? Richie is 9 years older! This is not an isolated case, movie star Cameron? Diaz is also 9 years older than her boyfriend, Justin. What's even worse, Demi? Moore than her boyfriend Ashton? Kutch is 20 years older! ”

When Zhang Shaohan relayed Avril's words to everyone. Su Muying, Zhang Liangying, and Wang Xinling all opened their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief. Avril raised her little head proudly, as if she was laughing at everyone's rarity and weirdness.

"But, but ......" Su Muying thought about it for a long time before she finally thought of a reason to refute, she said: "That's in your Western countries, in our China, everyone is still very conservative. Basically, the husband will be older than the wife, or the same age. I've never heard of a situation like you said. ”

Old wives and young husbands are indeed very rare in China, but rare does not mean that there are none. Chen Lihua, known as China's richest woman, is more than 10 years older than her husband. Her husband is also a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and the two gradually faded out of the entertainment industry after they got married. He is Chi Zhongrui, the actor of Tang Seng in "Journey to the West", which everyone is very familiar with.

The five girls chattered non-stop in the training room, and soon deviated from the topic, from whether the president and Assistant Li were fake or not, to the realistic examples of old wives and young husbands, to the differences and conflicts between Eastern and Western concepts, and to the face of love, what it feels like to be in love, what it feels like to have a secret love, and what it feels like to fall out of love.

In the president's office, the atmosphere is quite solemn.

Ye Yun had just been freed from the complicated affairs in the company when he heard about the matter between Chen Yuan and Li Bing. This made her a little difficult to accept, in her impression, Chen Yuan and Su Muying were originally a couple, although they were both young, but this concept was indeed a little deep-rooted. Now Chen Yuan suddenly empathized and fell in love with Li Bing, who was nine years older than him. The news was like a depth charge suddenly exploding in her head, blowing her up.

"Have you ever considered Sister Makei's feelings?" Ye Yun asked in a deep voice.

"This is also a helpless thing, people's feelings are often involuntary," Chen Yuan did not intend to tell the other party the truth, he said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect to suddenly like Li Bing, maybe I got along for a long time, and I couldn't help but be attracted to her." Li Bing is a very good woman, you should know it. ”

Li Bing is indeed very good, with big eyes, a small mouth, perfect facial features, a graceful figure, mature and intellectual, which can be regarded as a good match. Relatively speaking. Li Bing's advantage over Su Muying is more obvious. Su Muying is just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, while Li Bing is already a mature woman at a young age. It's like a blooming rose that attracts the attention of men wherever it goes. Such a young woman will naturally be more lethal to a young man like Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's reasons are barely acceptable.

"But that doesn't make it a reason for you to empathize?" Ye Yun frowned, and there was inevitably a hint of questioning in her voice.

"What you said is too exaggerated, what is empathy?" Chen Yuan explained, "There's nothing between me and Muying at all, okay? I just love her. There is no relationship to be determined. ”

If there really is nothing. Why do you do so much for the Pastoral Shadow? not only paid for her to open an Internet café at home, but also praised her, filming, singing, and now she wants to release an album? This is the company's first album since its founding. Why not give it to someone else?

Ye Yun didn't believe Chen Yuan's explanation at all.

"Don't look at me like that, what I say is true. Okay, let's not talk about it. Anyway, it's a matter of my personal feelings. Working hours should not be discussed. OK？ Chen Yuan said.

Ye Yun sighed and said, "You can do whatever you like, anyway, don't forget the agreement between you and me!" ”

There was silence as a result.

Chen Yuan glanced at Ye Yun in surprise. He asked, "You didn't come to me just for this, did you?" ”

"I was almost confused by you, Li Xue handed in an investigation report, na, this is it." Ye Yun glared at Chen Yuan fiercely. Then put the investigation report in the briefcase in front of Chen Yuan.

Ye Yun's expression became formal, and she said: "According to Li Xue's investigation, it was found that most of the rental bookstores are currently open near residential areas and schools, and there are very many of them. It's also very confusing. There are 17 rental bookstores near the No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, No. 5 Middle School, No. 7 Middle School and Experimental Middle School in Zou De City. Mingyue Community, Pearl International, Green Park Community, City in the City, and Warm Homes in Zou De City, these five residential communities are around. The number of rental bookstores reached 21. A small half of these 38 bookstores also sell a variety of daily necessities, fruits and drinks. ”

Chen Yuan listened to Ye Yun's introduction while carefully reading the investigation report in front of him. After a long time, he raised his head and said with a smile: "There are nearly two hundred rental bookstores in the urban area of Zou De City alone. It seems that the plan to rent a bookstore is promising! ”

"We have three options. The first is that the company directly assigns people to open stores all over the country, competing with those irregular rental bookstores, and gradually eliminating them. The advantage of this is that it can completely regulate the rental bookstore market, but the disadvantage is that it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

"The second is to recruit franchisees. The company will open flagship stores in the four municipalities directly under the central government, and invite the following rental bookstores to join with preferential policies and sufficient supply. If this model is adopted, in less than a year, the company's rental bookstores will be opened all over the country, and the disadvantage is that the company lacks supervision of the following franchise stores, and cannot ensure that they will follow the norms, which may eventually have a bad impact on the brand of our rental bookstores. ”

"The third option is to combine the first two options. The company will open more flagship stores, which will basically radiate to major cities across the country. There are about 100 of them! Then use these hundreds of flagship stores to radiate around and recruit franchisees. In this way, we can invest much less manpower and material resources than the first option, and at the same time increase the control of the following franchise stores. ”

After listening to Ye Yun's introduction, Chen Yuan pondered for a long time and asked, "What is Li Xue's suggestion?" ”

"Li Xue suggested the third plan," Ye Yun said, "The company will recruit manpower, use six months to build hundreds of standardized flagship stores, and then use six months to sort out the large and small rental bookstores across the country, and unify the rental bookstore industry in the way of joining." We will make the rental bookstore a brand! ”

Chen Yuan nodded, this was similar to his thoughts. However, this is only the general framework of the plan to rent a bookstore. Once it is time for specific operation, it is necessary to pay attention to all aspects. For example, the price of renting books, the arrangement of manpower, the specification of the store, the problem of supply, and so on.

At this time, Ye Yun said: "The original intention of the company's plan to rent a bookstore is to cultivate the awareness of genuine reading among Chinese people. Therefore, in terms of pricing, it must be in line with the economic strength of most Chinese people. Li Xue has investigated that a 240,000-word novel, with the reading speed of ordinary people, if it is fast, it only takes one day to read. If it's slow, it will take 3 days. At present, the price of most bookstores is 5 cents per book, or 2 cents per day. Such a price has proven to be acceptable to most people. So, do we still use this kind of book rental price? ”

"There is no problem with the price," Chen Yuan said, "but since the bookstore should be standardized, it cannot use both pricing methods at the same time." Let's count it on a daily basis. Each book is 2 cents a day, and if it is a month, it is only 6 yuan. In addition, we can adopt a membership system. 9.5% off for ordinary members, 9% off for Silver members, 8% off for Gold members, and 6% off for Diamond members. You can discuss for yourself how to do this. Finally, just give me a detailed plan. ”

After speaking, Chen Yuan added, "Readers with membership cards can rent bookstores in their cities to return and rent books nearby, which also provides convenience for everyone to a certain extent." ”

"What about the supply problem?" Ye Yun asked.

Qingyun Entertainment currently has only one set of published books, that is, the fantasy novel "The Demon" that has set off a reading frenzy in the entire Chinese-speaking circle. In Ye Yun's view, the plan to rent a bookstore is huge, which can not only cultivate the awareness of genuine reading among Chinese people and standardize the genuine market in the mainland, but also bring other benefits to the company!

Chen Yuan thought about it for a long time, and then said: "I will solve the problem of supply." At present, with the fire of "The Sealed Demon", a large number of new types of novels have been brought in. Although they are still immature and there is still much to be improved, they are still absolutely new and interesting to domestic readers. We can buy the rights to these readings and print them into a series. In addition, I have two new books in the pipeline. ”

Two more new books? Hearing this, Ye Yun was greatly surprised.

"The Sealing of Demons" is a monumental work of 26 million words, which is already well known. Many people predict that Chen Yuan will write this "Sealing Demon" for at least 10 years, and in the later stage, if he encounters the exhaustion of ideas, it will even drag on for a long time!

But now Chen Yuan actually said that he would open two more new books? Ye Yun was hard to understand, how could he do it?

PS: I recommend Su Muying's first album "Girls' Generation" an ancient rap song "Yongxiang People". This song "Yongxiang People" is the work of mainland female singer Yin Ziyue. Students who like this style (ancient text + rap + girls) can listen to it, it is very feeling. (To be continued.) )
