Chapter 423: Stars
Outside the window, lightning and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Chi stood on the balcony and looked out silently, thinking that after this heavy rain, the sky would be washed away, and the air would be better, just in time to pull Yuzhi to go outdoors.
Yu Zhi shouted in the kitchen, "Come in and help." β
"Here we are."
At the dinner table, the two of them chatted while destroying food.
"I heard that you've been at the Proud Garrison lately, so close to my Counterassassin Leader, you haven't come to take a look. It seems that pickling girls can really make people's temperament change greatly, and they are ruthless and unrighteous. Do you come here when you're leaving? β
Li Chi criticized someone for valuing sex and ignoring friends.
"No way, I'm going to be that kind of person?" Yu Zhi scoffed and said, "I returned to the territory a few days ago." β
Li Chi burst into tears, okay, he didn't come before leaving.
"Didn't you say you were going to play over there for a while longer, so soon to leave?"
Yu Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaoye Company recently had a big project, and she was caught by her boss to work overtime......"
"What does she do?"
"I don't know. Last time I took a chance to mention it, she didn't say it, and I can't continue to ask. Yu Zhi sighed, he didn't even ask about the girl's real career for so long, and most of them would be ruthlessly despised by the prodigal son Li Chi in the love field, so he quickly changed the topic: "Last time you said that you found the ultimate group in the game, how is it doing?" β
As expected, hearing the words "Ultimate Group", Li Chi suddenly became frowning.
"It's going well!"
"Joining the group so soon?"
"Not so fast. I submitted an application to join the group, and the group assessed that my conditions were relatively good, and decided to accept me as a reserve member, who could observe the organization's online meeting and express suggestions or opinions to the organization through the mailbox. They said that I am now in the observation period, and if I perform well during the observation period, I will be able to officially join the group sooner or later. β
Seeing Li Chi's longing and complacent look, Yuzhi couldn't help but pour cold water.
"Seeing that your tail is about to reach the sky, it turns out that you are just a supernumerary. If you can sit in on the hearing, you can't speak, and if you want to express your opinions, you can only send an e-mail, are you sure that the organization will take every non-staff person's email seriously? Maybe you won't even look at it. Also, the so-called observation period doesn't seem to have a clear deadline, can I understand that you are still a reserve member after ten years? β
Li Chi looked at Yu Zhi and said angrily: "The ultimate group is a civil rights protection organization, and it takes dedication to join, do you think it is an organization involving interests outside?" My friend said that the acceptance of me as a reserve member so soon shows that the organization is very optimistic about me and has an unlimited future......"
Yu Zhi put down his chopsticks and began to wrench his fingers.
"Orphans of martyrs, roots are red; Super fans, willing to dedicate; Freelancing, a lot of idle work; The second is a young man, full of enthusiasm. With these few points, of course, there is a future. β
Li Chi's face suddenly darkened.
Such a noble thing is so unbearable to be said by this guy, it's too much!
I'm going to have to teach him a lesson......
"Brother Zhi, you haven't exercised enough lately, you have to exercise in the afternoon."
"Retaliation? Don't go! β
"Nothing, purely responsible for your health." Li Chi said awe-inspiringly.
"Still don't go, I have something to go out in the afternoon."
"Haven't you already finished this month's ad copy?"
"A company took the initiative to contact me and was interested in discussing advertising business with me."
Yu Zhi explained: "They have their own planning department, but the copywriting they make has never satisfied the company, and they started looking for advertising agencies outside. They put forward a few small tests, let me design a few copywriting according to the requirements, I took the time to do it a few days ago and sent it over, and it seems that I am more satisfied, and ask me to go over today to talk about creative ideas and advertising concepts on those few small plans......"
"Well, if the small plan is considered a written test, today is equivalent to an interview."
There is no way to use the exercise to rectify Brother Zhi, and he can't do it today, Li Chi feels very regretful.
"Are you running out of money lately?"
As a sworn friend, Li Chi is very aware of Yuzhi's temper, and in many ways, the two of them have the same smell.
The two yearn for a casual life, the desire for money is not so urgent, how much money is enough? For them, it is enough to be able to live the life they love and have some spare money in case they need it.
Li Chi's paintings are famous, but he often goes out to follow the path his father has walked, or fitness pickles, instead of painting more works to make money; Yu Zhi is similar, he founded his own advertising company, only caught a few long-term customers, and actually worked three or five days a month, with his strength and reputation, he could continue to develop his business, but he didn't, because the money he made now was enough to meet his quality of life.
Hearing that Yu Zhi was approaching a new customer, Li Chi naturally thought that he might be short of money.
"No, as I said earlier, it was someone else who took the initiative to find me, and I had a client who had a relationship with them, and they thought my client's advertising idea was good, so they specifically asked. The client told them my contact information without my permission, and that's what happened. β
"There is no reason to push the door-to-door business outside, so I made those small plans as required."
At the end, Yu Zhi said: "Later, the customer apologized and promised not to help me introduce business on his own initiative." β
Li Chi nodded: "Of course you should apologize, it's not like words!" β
Others kindly helped introduce the business, but if they didn't say half a sentence, they would be complained, such a strange thing, but Yu Zhi and Li Chi took it for granted. Because, this is the attitude to life that they have long identified with.
Li Chi smiled: "I'll just say, if you are short of money, you can talk to me directly, or find a way from the game." The development of the deer leader is so good, you can sell some game currency, population or talent, and you can cash out on the black market. Well, when I'm bored, I'll help you calculate an account, keep the current momentum going, and reduce the salary of the territory by 30%, so you don't have to open an advertising agency. β
Yu Zhi frowned: "Are you serious? β
"Fake, whatever you want."
Yu Zhi said: "Those have little to do with us, we are not professional players. β
Li Chi nodded.
With their attitude towards life, and the realities of life, it's really unlikely that they will make a career out of gaming. They play games to enjoy the game, and the same is true for Li Chi to accept Yuzhi's help in the game.
"Then you go, please go over and explain that you are satisfied with the work, and you are very hopeful to win it."
Yu Zhi smiled bitterly: "I hope I can't take it." β
"Why?"
"Once I work with them, I have less time to spare."
Li Chi comforted: "You can make more money, mourning." β
Yu Zhi finished eating and stood up: "What about Xingchen's interview, I have to change my clothes, you can wash the dishes." β
"Know...... Wait, you're talking about the stars? β
"Hmm."
"Which star?"
Yu Zhi stopped: "It's the Xingchen Group you think." β
Li Chi lost his voice and said, "How could Xingchen find a small company like you?" β
"Word of mouth."
Yu Zhi threw down these two words, Shi Shiran walked into the bedroom, and closed the door.
Xingchen Group, a local star enterprise, is involved in commercial real estate, high-end hotels, cultural tourism, department store chains and logistics. Although there is still a long way to go from China's top 500 companies, I believe that no one will have any objections to the fact that Xingchen Group is a local leading enterprise, after all, the tax records are well documented.
Yuzhi's company, he is the only one.
Li Chi said that Yuzhi is a small company, but in fact, it is polite, and many leather bag companies have more than one.
Xingchen Group is looking for Yuzhi's company to advertise, no matter how you look at it, it is not a volume level.
In front of Xingchen, the only thing Yu Zhi can get his hands on is the work, which is what he says about word of mouth. Since the day his company was established, more than three years have passed now, and no customer has terminated the cooperation, and it is not difficult to see that the customer is quite satisfied with Yuzhi's work. Xingchen found Yuzhi through customer advertising, which can also prove that Yuzhi's level is quite high.
Xingchen is looking for fish wisdom, which should be related to the particularity of advertising.
Advertising is the most important imagination and creativity, and good creativity can make people impressed by advertising and get twice the result with half the effort. Imagination and creativity have always been the strength of Yuzhi, as early as the orphanage era, it showed unbridled imagination, and amazing exquisite ideas, and truly achieved flexible use. He and Li Chi have repeatedly tricked the elephant team with opposing relationships, making the other party angry and miserable.
Because the elephant was once double-opened by Yu Zhi and Li Chi, leaving a serious psychological shadow, several younger brothers who carried the elephant often had nightmares. Although the elephant and others gritted their teeth with hatred for the two, they finally insisted on "fighting civilly, not martial", trying to find the field in a more civilized way. But until they left the orphanage, they never found it.
Drawing also requires imagination.
Li Chi always believes that he and Yu Zhi have today's professional achievements, and the elephant is indispensable. Good childhood friends are the source of their thriving growth.
Recalling the days of the orphanage and the struggle with the elephant team, Li Chi couldn't help laughing.
What a pleasant memory.
I hope that those lovely "enemies" will not continue to live in the shadow of childhood......
The bedroom door opened, Yu Zhi walked out, and said to Li Chi: "I'm leaving, close the door when you leave." β
"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to change your clothes?"
"Changed."
Looking at Yu Zhi, who was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, Li Chi was speechless for a while, and he kept complaining in his heart. This dress is quite suitable for going out for sports, but now I am going to Xingchen Group to talk about cooperation, should I dress a little more formally?
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's raining heavily."
Li Chi didn't mention the stubble, Yu Zhi has always been casual and can't be forced, and he doesn't need his advice in this regard.
"I hailed a taxi, just downstairs, and left."
"Oh."
Without saying anything along the way, the special car stopped under a high-rise building, and the destination arrived.
Yu Zhi looked outside the car: "It's raining outside, don't you drive to the underground parking lot?" β
"The underground parking lot of the Star Building is not open to the public, so we can only get here, sorry."
Yu Zhi didn't say anything anymore, paid the credits, got out of the car with an umbrella, ran more than fifty meters through the stagnant water in the storm, and finally rushed into the building. Despite the umbrella, the use of the umbrella in such weather is very limited, except for the head is not wet, the clothes are half wet, and the pants and shoes are completely wet.
"It's all wet, bad ......"
"I have to finish my errands early and go back to the shower and change my clothes." Yuzhi muttered to himself.
It's not that he thinks it's bad for his image or anything, but he's worried about catching a cold, even though it's still summer.
The front desk of Xingchen Building is responsible for receiving several beautiful girls, all of whom are young and beautiful, with good looks and sweet and moving smiles. Yu Zhi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and his mind kept spinning.
"The front desk doesn't use robots to replace manual labor, it's really a luxury to put a few such beautiful girls......"
These days, service robots are much cheaper than humans.
"The stars are really rich ......"
"The initial offer for me is low, I have to raise the price, how much......"
Yu Zhi is not a money fan who sees money, he cares a lot about the value of his labor.
Accepting the Xingchen test, firstly, because the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and secondly, the other party's initial quotation made him feel more satisfied. Under normal circumstances, remuneration should not be negotiated before determining the intention of cooperation, but Xingchen gave a guaranteed offer, which is higher than Yuzhi's existing customers, and it is obvious that the other party has touched Yuzhi's bottom in advance.
Different people can create different values for the same job. The same people who work for different employers are likely to receive very different benefits.
Advertising for the Star Group or a small company has different requirements and different pressures.
It is not difficult to see the strength of Xingchen from several front desk beauties, and Yu Zhi thinks that Xingchen's advertising people should not just be paid like that. Xingchen has the right to give a guaranteed quotation based on his past level and fees, and he also has the right to demand appropriate remuneration according to different customers, because he believes that his labor deserves a commensurate value.
Come to the front desk, register your identity and explain to a beautiful woman.
After the beautiful woman at the front desk called to confirm, she said apologetically: "Mr. Yu, you arrived eighteen minutes earlier than the agreed time, Miss Hu has other work in her hands, and she can't meet you yet, can you sit in the reception room first?" β
Yu Zhi was a little disappointed, and the hope of going home to take a bath was dashed.
He hates others very much for not being punctual, and is used to arriving early for a while, and at most going around the neighborhood for a while, but he will not lose his trust in others. However, today's weather is not beautiful, and most of the clothes on his body are hairy
"Okay."
The beauty smiled sweetly and politely told Yu Zhiying where to take the elevator: "Please go to room 816 and wait, there are hand dryers and paper towels in the upstairs bathroom." β
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Enter the elevator and go straight to the 8th floor, first find room 816, and come to the scanner on the wall, and someone will verify his identity through the front desk registration, video and other information. The backstage confirmed that Yu Zhi had been allowed to enter the reception room, and then there was a pleasant soft sound, and the electronic lock was opened.
The dΓ©cor of the reception room is not luxurious, but it is very neat and tidy.
The greenery in the corners and tables is vibrant and clearly well cared for.
Judging from the furnishings of the house, it should be used to receive a small number of customers.
Fifteen minutes until the appointed time.
The wet clothes on his body made Yu Zhi feel very uncomfortable, and he remembered the reminder of the beautiful woman at the front desk just now.
Walk out of the reception room.
This floor is full of reception rooms, all the doors are closed, and no one lingers outside. The reception room is well insulated, you can't hear it outside, and you can't sense whether a room is occupied by light.
Yu Zhi quickly found the bathroom.
Outside the bathroom, next to the sink, there are hand dryers and paper towels.
Solve wet clothes with paper towels, which is both wasteful and ineffective, and the pants are all soaked, which has no saving value, Yuzhi lifted the half-wet T-shirt and slowly dried it on the hand dryer. After a few minutes, the front was basically done, but there was no way to do the wet clothes on the back.
In this process, no one else appeared, and Yu Zhi rushed back to talk about things, so he simply took off his T-shirt, was naked, and continued to dry clothes on the hand dryer shirtless.
The hand dryer was working quite loudly, muffling the sound of footsteps from far and near......
