Chapter 30: You're here to play
With the consent of Limu's guardian, Shangguo Publishing House officially signed the contract. Li Xiuli gave one of her bank cards to Limu as a salary card. At the same time, counting the manuscript fee for the new painting and the 60-page comic book originally submitted, Shangguo Publishing House promised to remit 9,600 yuan to the bank card tomorrow, which immediately made Li Xiuli happy.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the story of the 8-year-old little Limu of the pear family talking to foreigners soon spread in the village, and even the details of the signing of the contract were poked out by Grandma Limu. Most of her news came out of Li Jiahui's mouth, and Li Mu himself would definitely not take the initiative to say it, even if he was forced to ask, he would be hesitant.
The reason is that grandma is too "big-mouthed" and will say almost anything.
"80 yuan a page, it is said that the pear boy can draw two or three pages a day!"
"Wouldn't you be able to earn more than 10,000 yuan in two months? What else are you going to read? If it's me, I'll just let him paint at home. ”
"It's never too late to send your child to paint! However, the school's interest classes are really expensive. ”
"The registration fee of 150 is ...... for one day So what's going on? Royalties! That is, people's manuscript fees for one day. ”
Occasionally hearing the discussion in the village, it is difficult for Riki to understand what her grandmother thinks, and she likes to talk about good and bad things outside. The so-called wealth is not exposed, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and grandma has played almost everything to the fullest. The year before last, I was still preaching that my little daughter was not good, that was not good, she didn't study well, she only knew how to go out with some pig friends and dog friends.
Riki guessed that the grandmother probably wanted to prove to the villagers that she had the correct surname for sweeping her little daughter out of the house, so the image of the little daughter in the village became useless. Unexpectedly, this proves that she has no way to teach, and the eldest son and third son are like that, why only kick the younger daughter out of the house?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is patriarchal.
But the strange thing is that she is obviously patriarchal, but she is very harsh on her daughter-in-law who gave birth to a grandson, so it is more and more difficult for Riki to understand the structure of her grandmother's mind.
"If I am kidnapped one day and rob the rich to help the poor, I guess I can't get rid of my grandmother......" Riki muttered.
Grandma asked how his father's contract was signed, and his father couldn't hide it without answering, anyway, he didn't feel the need to hide it. In fact, doing so is likely to cause unnecessary trouble for Riki.
-- It's not too late to make amends.
Limu immediately lied to his grandmother that the contract had a confidentiality agreement by default, and he couldn't tell others at will, otherwise he would be fined and arrested! Thinking that the people from Shangguo Publishing House were still staying in the hostel outside the village, grandma Liang Minjing stopped.
Yes, the people from Shangguo Press did not leave that night, nor did they leave the next day, and they were still lingering on the third day. They occasionally hitchhike around the city, and when they are tired, they will rest at the hostel at the entrance of the village, and when they are bored, under the leadership of Lu Lingling, they brazenly continue to occupy the rooftop of the Lu family.
"I said, you're not here to sign a contract, you're here to play, right?!" In the past three days, Riki has been familiar with the surnames of the four women, and asked them unceremoniously.
Even though he knew that it was not a normal company, and the president often said unexpected things, he found such a publishing house very cute.
According to Elisabel, she returned to the UK for a year after graduating from the University of Hong Kong, until she received a call from Lu Lingling one day and heard that a publishing house was going to be formed.
After graduating, Wang Bingyu entered a large company, worked hard in it for almost a year, and was expected to be promoted to the position of section chief, but was unexpectedly harassed by Lu Lingling by various means, and was finally abducted from a large company to a thief ship.
Ryoko Kawabata has the most detailed account of this "abduction incident". It is said that Wang Bingyu was stubborn at that time, and Lu Lingling took Elisabel to pretend to be a complicated love triangle with the same surname...... The company had to lay off Wang Bingyu.
Riki learns from Ryoko that the four of them are not real classmates, but they are friends who met at the University of Hong Kong. Ryoko, an exchange student sent to China by the university, felt her hair on her back be swept up during a meal, and a strange hand went around her chin from her neck, and then she heard a rough voice saying "This girl is so cute". At that time, goosebumps were all up, and I thought I was being teased by hooligans, but when I turned my head, I didn't expect it to be a girl.
- This girl's name is Lu Lingling, the president of Shangguo Publishing House!
Ryoko returned to his hometown two years after knowing Lu Lingling, and was doing farm work to plant camellia with his family in the countryside, but he was kidnapped by a van in full view of everyone, and he called afterwards to avoid any major trouble.
From Ryoko, Riki has a certain understanding of the president's bad surname. However, although she is stubborn, she is thick-skinned enough, and everything she does seems to have her own purpose.
For example, the three members she collected.
Wang Bingyu has a strong sense of action, but it is a pity that he is not good at drilling, although he has done more things than the student president at HKU, he is still a low-level officer until he graduates from university.
Elisabel Anya's surname is similar to Lu Lingling, which can be regarded as smelly, but Elisabel has one thing that she doesn't have, that is, she is rich.
Her grandfather, like Bill Gates's grandfather, was one of dozens of stewards of the British Golden Family.
The family she serves controls most of the world's gold, and a single word can cause gold prices to rise and fall and financial turmoil. Before the rise of the United States, Britain was an old power in the industrial age and a well-deserved world hegemon. At that time, there was no need to be restricted by the United Nations, and a large amount of gold in Africa was taken home by this family. If there is one thing that Riki knows about this family, it is probably the "East India Company" that often appears in history textbooks! This is a big company led by the Golden Family and other big families, and named by the British royal family, plundering India, dumping opium, and monopolizing tobacco and salt at that time!
After the longest period of monopoly in history, the company collapsed...... Note that it is ruin, not bankruptcy.
The great families divided the fruits of a hundred years of plunder.
The Elisabel family, the most savvy of the golden family, took the lion's share and is now hidden behind the scenes, turning it into a small company. Even Fifa, a famous estate for storing and producing wine, was originally established only to provide wine drinks for the Golden Family. Elisabel's family, her grandfather was one of the stewards of the Golden Family.
Bill Gaizi's grandfather is also one of the many housekeepers of this golden family, so according to Limu's understanding, Lu Lingling is a rich third generation who runs the same line as the richest man in the world!
It was once said that Bill's father was a lawyer and his mother was a teacher, both of whom were respected intellectuals.
The media has whitewashed it well, and his father is indeed a lawyer, but he is the vice president of the American Bar Association; His mother was even more powerful, a true teacher, but was a trustee of Washington State University from 1975 to 1993. She is KingCounty's United
The first female chairperson of the Executive Council of www.xstxt.orgerica (National United Way Association). Notably, she was also the first female director of FirstInterstateBank.
Riki doesn't care what is behind the world's richest man, anyway, it's not self-made as people say. The only thing that is clear to Limu is that Shangguo Publishing House has "kidnapped" a family background and will not be bad to Elisabel!
Wang Bingyu has a hand in doing things.
Elisabel is rich.
Lu Lingling is in charge of flickering.
Ryoko is very good at taking care of people.
This is the current situation of Shangguo Press, which worries Riki and makes him look forward to it, but it will not be enough for him to continue to stay here and watch the flood.
But there seems to be someone more intolerable than him.
"President! It's time for us to go back! Back to Hong Kong! ”
Facing Riki, "You're here to play, right?" Wang Bingyu has been urging them to move more than once, but it's a pity -
Now they sit under the vines like their masters, looking out at the waterline looming by the riverbank. The clear and beautiful green river is dyed golden by the yellow mud washed downstream. I think it's because of the sunset, the light reflected by the river is a little dazzling, but the dusk is still quite pleasing to the eye.
Elisabel and Lu Lingling had an intoxicated look on their faces. Elisabel glanced at Lu Lingling, who said seriously: "Life is short, since we know that life is limited, we should take advantage of the opportunity." You see, the river is almost over its banks, isn't it? Don't you want to witness this magical moment with your life? ”
President!! Please allow your subordinates to take the company first! Wang Bingyu obviously has a strong sense of professionalism and doesn't want to waste time outside of his career.
"Go, go, go~" Lu Lingling waved her hand lazily.
"......" Limu unconsciously had an illusion of empathy for Wang Bingyu.
You must know that the queen bee did the same to call her subordinates back then, and Riki herself suffered greatly, and a lot of work on honey sales was pressed on herself. The only difference is that Wang Bingyu seems to enjoy this kind of heavy work, while Riki hopes to squeeze out time to draw comics after work.
"Doesn't it matter if you leave them here? Why don't you ask me to do it for you? Seeing that Wang Bingyu was really leaving, Limu pointed to the two lazy people who were lying on the chairs enjoying the sunset.
"It doesn't matter, I left Ryoko behind." She said as she followed her downstairs.
In any case, the four of them are outsiders, and for the sake of Limu, the Lu family has done their best to let them come and go at will these days. But the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Grandma Lu Hui still told Lu Hui to pay attention to keeping up with them when they go in and out.
Looking at the wall, Ryoko was looking at Xiang Kui in a daze.
- So this cute thing still has this use!
Riki was surprised that in addition to serving tea and pouring water to do housework, Ryoko actually helped the "master" buy air tickets......
"Aren't you afraid she'll be gone?" Riki turned to their president and asked.
"Oh, that, don't worry, it took me a lot of effort to dig her out of the company in the first place, as long as Shangguo Publishing House didn't go out of business, she wouldn't leave." Lu Lingling was full of trust in her members, "However, I guessed that she would almost be tempted to go back at this time." ”
-- How much trust do you have......
Riki suddenly felt that his knowledge of the company seemed to be a little lacking.
"Now, you know what? There is a name called 'bf' on the Internet that there will be floods in the Yangtze River and Huai River, and there will be a tsunami in New Guinea, Africa, killing 4,000 and 2,000 people respectively. Now according to the news, it probably seems to be true......" Lu Lingling said as she looked at the higher and higher river.
She suddenly brought up the topic, causing the hand of Riki, who was sitting on the side to drink tea, to shake and almost drop the tea to the ground.
――Could it be that this president pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and his magical powers are so vast?
――You came to me to sign a contract for this?! Now saying this is for a showdown with me?
"Human beings, even if you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, and you can't see that the river is just a dozen centimeters away from going up the embankment, and I don't see anyone going to raise it." Lu Lingling said leisurely.
Her gaze was extremely profound, which made Limu even more jealous, and the prophecy of the Yangtze River flood in the secret channel really happened?
