The next morning.

Zhong Ming got up early and glanced at the account balance of the bracelet first.

1735637。

There are fractions and wholes, of which more than 100,000 are previous savings, and this time the 2 million bonus is 1.6 million after deducting taxes.

There are some differences between the tax deduction in this world and Zhong Ming's previous life, but the bonus of 2 million is not strictly speaking salary and bonus income, otherwise according to the highest progressive tax rate of 35% in this world, Zhong Ming can vomit blood directly.

This time, the bonus of 2 million yuan is "accidental income", so it is taxed according to 20%, and 400,000 yuan was deducted in an instant.

However, for Zhong Ming, this amount is already very acceptable, after all, if you want to deduct taxes in other ways, you will be deducted more.

That's all there is to it, you still have to save some money.

Now the bonuses of the three people are in Zhong Ming's hands, because when the virtual idol competition is registered, it is either an individual or a studio to participate, in short, the organizer only recognizes one account, either a personal account or the studio's corporate account, and it is impossible for the organizer to split the prize money into three parts and call three people.

Therefore, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna still trust Zhong Ming, if they change to someone else and run away with this money, it is really not good.

Of course, there is also a certain reason that Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna may not have expected Xia Nell to win the first prize at all......

Zhong Ming finished washing up and began to look for a house online.

He had considered moving and had seen some houses, but he hadn't decided on it because he didn't know how his job would change in the future.

Now that I have decided to open my own studio, it is easy to rent a house of more than 100 square meters for commercial and residential purposes, and solve the problem of housing and work place together.

Zhong Ming asked Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen in advance, but their houses have not expired yet, and if they leave now, there will be a lot of deposits that will be deducted, and these two people are reluctant.

What's more, if three people live together, it may not be enough for three bedrooms, and the range of options is much smaller.

Therefore, Zhong Ming's temporary idea is to rent a two-bedroom, commercial and residential house as an office space, and try to rent it closer to Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen's residences. If the indie game is successful, maybe the recruitment will be expanded soon, and then you will have to change the workplace, and you can't expect to do it all at once.

Of course, this belongs to thinking a little far ahead.

In principle, this world does not allow residential buildings to be used as office locations, and there will be a special industrial and commercial department to verify when registering a studio, but some commercial and residential houses can, so Zhong Ming's goal is relatively clear.

The world's rental software is also relatively advanced, you can directly open the panoramic image of the house type in the app, and zoom in and out to view various details at will, which is basically not much different from the on-site viewing. Zhong Ming plans to pick a few that he is more satisfied with first, and then go to see them on the spot, and strive to settle them in the next two days.

Just as I was looking, the bracelet rang.

"Hello, is it Mr. Zhong Ming, the designer of Chanel? We are Gona Entertainment, I don't know if you are interested in working in our company? ……”

The other party said a lot, and Zhong Ming replied: "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have this intention." ”

Not long after hanging up the bracelet, another company called, and Zhong Ming also refused.

After more than half an hour, Xinghua Mutual Entertainment also called, and once again confirmed with Zhong Ming whether Xia Nel's copyright should be developed cooperatively and whether he was willing to come to Xinghua Mutual Entertainment to work......

Zhong Ming was speechless, this morning was simply unbearable!

"If you call again, you will refuse!"

Zhong Ming looked at a few more houses, and the bracelet rang again.

He just wanted to refuse, but saw that it was Director Xie calling.

“…… Feed? Director Xie? ”

Director Xie's tone on the other side was a little embarrassed: "Ah, Zhong Ming." That's the case, Mr. Yu is particularly concerned about your resignation, so let me ask you if you can continue to come back to work, you can be transferred to a new project, or even directly as the chief designer, so that you can open conditions as much as possible in terms of salary and position. ”

Zhong Ming smiled helplessly: "Director Xie, if you are kidnapped, you can cough twice, and I will go to rescue you!" ”

Director Xie was also happy: "Hey, Mr. Yu asked me to call, can I not call, forget it, I know that your kid doesn't plan to come back, I just make a phone call and go through the motions, so I don't have to ask Mr. Yu again." ”

Zhong Ming asked, "Didn't Mr. Yu agree when I resigned?" Why did you regret it again? ”

"What else? Of course, it's because of the virtual idol contest! Director Xie was angry and happy, "I said that you are really good, you have been hiding the first prize in the virtual idol competition for so long, and you don't even tell me!" Before, it was because of your resolute attitude that Mr. Yu approved your resignation application, but now Mr. Yu and Director Bai found out that the winner of the first prize was you, and of course they regretted it! ”

"In fact, it's the same whether you approve it or not, and when the time comes, you will automatically leave your job, and it is impossible to keep me." Zhong Ming said.

"That's true, but if I had known that you won the first prize in the virtual idol competition, Mr. Yu would definitely keep you at all costs. Guangyi Mutual Entertainment's virtual idol project has been half-dead, and several directors have changed virtual idols who have not made any big hits, and they have been pressed and beaten by Xinghua Mutual Entertainment from beginning to end, and Mr. Yu almost planned to disband the virtual idol department. Now that you have won the first prize of the competition, and you have all the copyrights of Chanel in your hands, of course Mr. Yu regrets it. Director Xie explained.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Okay, thank you for your kindness for me, but it is impossible to sell the copyright, and it is impossible to go back to work, I will register the studio in the next two days." ”

"I know, I'm sure I'll tell you the truth." Director Xie asked again, "How is it, things are going well in the studio, right?" If you have any difficulties, such as lack of people and money, you can tell me that although I don't have much money or connections, I can still help within my ability. ”

"Okay, then Director Xie, I'm busy first, let's talk."

hung up the phone, Zhong Ming was also a little crying and laughing.

There are so many people who are really popular.

No one asked about the hard work for months, and once the world knew about the award.

If two months ago, no, a month ago, Mr. Yu asked Zhong Ming to be in charge of the entire virtual idol project of Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, then Zhong Ming might go directly, and he would do his best to do a good job.

But now? He certainly won't go.

It can only be said that many things are so contradictory, when you have the ability and there is no way to prove it, others don't even want to give you the opportunity to prove it, and after you prove your ability, you don't care so much about the jobs that are at your fingertips.

Zhong Ming temporarily adjusted his bracelet to refuse calls and turn to message status, saving himself from these calls again, and then continued to look for a house online.
