Chapter 21: The Food That Comes to You
The project of Gonghu No. 1 was finally landed, and the outdoor billboard was quoted at 500,000 yuan, including the production cost of 130,000 yuan, plus the rent of 20,000 yuan for the residential property belonging to the sales department, and the gross profit of the billboard reached 350,000 yuan.
Under Ye Junhao's arrangement, the VI, Loushu and all subsequent design and production of Gonghu No. 1 were also contracted to Big Ear Media, and the two parties signed an annual contract with an amount of 680,000 yuan.
At that time, the real estate industry had fast financing, hot sales, sufficient cash flow, and almost no eyelids were invested in advertising. Unlike now, the de-bubble real estate industry is gradually declining, and a large number of well-known real estate companies have broken their capital chains and declared bankruptcy, while the remaining real estate developers are tightening their belts one by one, and it is difficult to return to the prosperous era.
In April 2007, Daer Media moved out of the commercial and residential building and moved to a mid-range office building, which was much larger, about 200 square meters.
Since the scale has been expanded, the company must also be decent, they set up a design department, a planning department and a financial department, as well as an administrative front desk, the number of the company came to 12 people, including 4 designers, 2 copywriting planning, 1 finance, 1 front desk, Chen Erdong as the general manager, Lin Daqi as the design director, and Fu Huayong as the director of the design department, all three have their own independent offices.
If this situation is placed at the beginning of the business, it is difficult to imagine that this is a change that has occurred in less than a year, the three of them have different moods, especially Fu Huayong, a few months ago he was still huddled in a shared house doing rough work as an artist, and today he has become a supervisor on his own, and he also rented a one-bedroom apartment to improve his living conditions, and his gratitude to Chen Erdong has naturally deepened.
On the first day of moving to the new office, the three of them went to the restaurant to celebrate, Shen Pei wanted to come, but Chen Erdong refused, he said that today is the Luohan Bureau, and the three brothers want to look forward to the future together, and it is inconvenient to have family members.
Shen Pei was very unhappy, she felt that she should participate in such a festive day, and besides, her contribution to Big Ear Media was obvious to all, and Yu Gong should also have a place for her, but Chen Erdong insisted on not letting her go, and she had no other way but to sulk.
Shen Pei found that since Big Ear Media has been getting better and better, Chen Erdong's attitude towards her has also changed, and she is no longer as caring and clingy as before, although busy work can be a good reason, but women are very sensitive, Shen Pei felt a trace of uneasiness in her heart, this is the first time she has such a thought since she and Chen Erdong have been dating.
At the dinner table, Chen Erdong has undoubtedly become the focus, and he can be said to have contributed to the company's success. Gonghu No. 1's list aside from the illegal links, I have to say that his idea is very ingenious, for other people, this single business can only live in the legend, and in the process of implementation, it must be done without leakage, once the stuffing is exposed, he will not say anything, and Yao Bin will be involved.
The three of them drank until late at night and said a lot of heart-to-heart words, and the beginning of Big Ear Media was a fantastic beginning.
In the second half of 07, Liu Min traveled frequently, sometimes for more than half a month, and Shen Pei was often at home alone, as long as Liu Min was not there, Shen Pei wanted Chen Erdong to live at her house.
In the past, if the young couple wanted to be affectionate, they could only stay in a hotel outside, no matter how good the hotel was, it could not compare to the warmth and familiarity of home, and Chen Erdong was usually busy, and he could hardly see anyone during the day, and the time spent between the two was greatly reduced compared to before, so Shen Pei naturally wanted to use the evening time to live with him.
Once a woman has nothing to do, the huge emptiness can only be filled by men, Shen Pei also has girlfriends, but each has a job, and no one has the leisure time to accompany her to maintenance and afternoon tea, besides, the confidence of pastime comes from the wallet, but not everyone has a rich mother.
Chen Erdong tried to ask Shen Pei to find something to do, but Shen Pei was unwilling, first, there was no financial pressure, and second, she really didn't want to look at other people's faces and do things.
When two people fall in love, no matter how good the relationship is, they need to get along to maintain it, so many long-distance relationships can't last.
Before Chen Erdong didn't have a job, the two were almost inseparable except for going back to their respective homes at night, and their feelings were naturally like glue, Shen Pei was a person who put love first, Chen Erdong was the first in her heart, and she didn't have too much enthusiasm for other things.
Liu Min was not there, the car was at home, and before he got off work every day, Shen Pei drove a BMW to the company to pick up Chen Erdong.
For these voices, Chen Erdong turned a deaf ear on the surface, but in his heart he was disgusted by Shen Pei's behavior, he is now focused on his career, although he is the boss, but in the advertising industry, which is like working overtime, he is more willing to fight side by side with employees, but whenever he is ready to stay up all night, Shen Pei always comes as promised,
Lin Daqi was originally a design maniac, in addition to reviewing and guiding, his scope of work has to put the finishing touches on himself, and he can only count on this director, so he works overtime almost every day, even if he has a girlfriend, it is impossible to leave early like Chen Erdong.
Although Chen Erdong didn't find that Lin Daqi was dissatisfied with him, there was always a hurdle in his heart, Lin Daqi worked overtime, he went back to Gentle Township, in the long run, will it create an illusion that he is the boss and Lin Daqi is a part-time worker, after all, he is the one who leaves, who can go first? Can only be the boss.
Chen Erdong sat on the wide European-style sofa wearing the home clothes that Shen Pei bought for him, directly opposite the sofa, a huge vertical TV, which could be said to be the standard configuration of rich families at that time, the coffee table was full of snacks and drinks, all of which were prepared by Shen Pei for him, Chen Erdong didn't touch anything, just watched the TV absentmindedly.
Xiaobao was lying in front of the TV screen, blocking all the subtitles, and there was a costume drama on the TV that he didn't know the name, and he didn't care about what he was playing.
I saw Shen Pei coming from the kitchen, wearing a mask, wearing pajamas, and holding a plate of grapes that had just been washed, Chen Erdong seemed to see the forecast of future married life, the parents were short, tasteless and colorless, Shen Pei sat down and leaned on his shoulder and said, "Eat a grape, it's very sweet." ”
"Eat it, my stomach is still a little swollen."
"Then why don't you wash up and go to sleep?"
"I can't sleep, I'm thinking about the company."
"Male, why are you working so hard."
"Is it strange for men to fight for careers? Besides, the house and car fell from the sky? ”
"Have you ever thought about not worrying about buying a house or a car?"
"Then you're going to give me a robot cat?"
"I'll tell you seriously, we got married, my mother bought me a house and a car, the house is almost good, the car is waiting for me to choose, I don't choose, you choose, anyway, you will drive it in the future." This is what Liu Min promised Shen Pei, she will never let her daughter worry about money, and she will not allow her daughter to find the unreliable rich second generation for material reasons, if she wants to find a husband, she will find what she likes.
Chen Erdong knew that Shen Pei wasn't joking with him, and he didn't feel good in his heart, didn't he have the ability to let Shen Pei live a worry-free life? Or Shen Pei doesn't look down on his career at all.
"You want me to eat the food you came?" Chen Erdong was a little displeased.
"How do you speak, how is this food that comes from spurting? My mother bought it for me, and you married me, isn't that also yours? ”
Shen Pei was very dissatisfied with Chen Erdong's words, and bounced off his shoulder and sat up straight, Shen Pei's movements were a little big, and Xiaobao on the opposite side straightened his ears and stared at her with wide eyes.
"Your mother bought it for you, it's yours, you let me be a big man to live with yours, like words?" Chen Erdong said righteously.
"Why not? I have to distinguish it clearly, I don't want you to work so hard, you see that since you opened the company, you are tired like a dog, don't say, when have you been with me, am I in a long-distance relationship with you? ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm sleepy, let's take a shower." Chen Erdong didn't want to give Shen Pei a chance to quarrel.
"You really don't know what to do." Shen Pei muttered, Chen Erdong snorted, I wanted to reply that I am a cheap bone, but the words came to his mouth and held back, because as soon as these words came out, he was destined to be unable to stop tonight, so he got up and took a bath.
Chen Erdong turned on the shower, and while waiting for the hot water, he held the sink with both hands and looked at himself in the mirror, isn't this a man in his prime?
Recalling what Shen Pei said just now, she is not married yet, she already has the confidence to support Xiaobaimi, if it is really as she said, if she gets married, lives in her house and drives her car, where will her dignity go?
In fact, Shen Pei's thoughts are very simple, but they are said in a straightforward manner, as if there is a sense of condescension brought by natural superiority, which makes Chen Erdong uncomfortable, she gave Chen Erdong the right that Liu Min gave her to worry about food and clothing, but she did not consider whether Chen Erdong was willing or not.
This night, the two slept with their backs to each other, and there was an estrangement in their hearts.
