Opportunity
"Xiao Kui, this time you are going to invite me to a big dinner, I will get you a big deal." On the other end of the phone, the editor Dongdong's excited voice came.
Aoi stopped her nail clippers and asked in a daze, "What kind of big business?" ”
"Does Jiang Yuan know? Jiang Yuan! ”
"I'm the champion of my show in this world?"
"That's right, his economic company is going to package him as an all-round artist, and they want to publish a book for him, he was originally ABC, studying abroad and traveling everywhere, and there are a lot of travelogues and photos. Got it? ”
"Huh? I don't understand ......" Aoi thought to herself, and these have something to do with herself?
"Eh, stupid, I said that I want to be packaged as an all-round artist, you must know that Naoko Takagi and Meiwei Kappa's life and travel picture books are super popular......"
"You mean, you want to illustrate Jiang Yuan's travelogue?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Sister Dongdong finally got to the point, "Find the gunman, give you a photo, and you can just draw the illustration according to it......"
"Sign his name?" Aoi listless.
"100,000 yuan! Lakh! Fifty thousand in advance! There will be long-term cooperation! Sunflower! Did you hear me clearly? I was the first to think of you. 100,000 yuan! ”
Aoi stood up suddenly, "Oh, 100,000, it's really a big deal." ”
"Yes, Jiang Yuan is a rich second generation, and his family pays for him to pack it, and he is super willing to spend money."
"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand!"
"Yes, yes, you think, a second-rate illustrator, if you are not popular, you have to draw as many pictures as you want to earn 100,000 yuan, the market is so sluggish, Aoi, I know that you are bent on saving money to take down your uncle's small shop and become the boss. Aoi, Sister Dongdong is not hitting you, it's so difficult to be popular these days, but if you want to make money, you must seize the opportunity and not be soft, Panjia Shop is your own boss, which is much more reliable than your hard work to draw illustrations, right? ”
"It's a big hit, but yes, I know." Aoi took her mobile phone and paced back and forth at home, 100,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan in advance, what a good thing. The monthly salary has not reached 3,000, and I have not counted the larger amounts, I dare not apply for credit cards, Alipay does not dare to use it, and Taobao does not dare to go up, and I must eat a big meal if I want to get the 50,000 yuan in advance.
"Why don't you do it, Aoi?"
"Okay."
"Then I'll give you the address, the day after tomorrow you take the illustration to their company for an interview, I can say a lot of good things in front of them, I expect them to like you at a glance, and what kind of confidentiality agreement do you have to sign, uh-huh, in short, you can have a good chat with Jiang Yuan's economist then."
"Okay."
"Invite me to dinner?"
"Okay, definitely."
"So, you're calling your family Lian Boxi?"
"He's not my family...... Belch? Sister Dongdong, do you want to see him? ”
"Eh, if he wants to be free, he will come to dinner together, and celebrate for you together, right......" Sister Dongdong snorted, "I haven't seen you for months, you say he still remembers me?" You didn't warn me the last time we met, and when he came to you, I was dressed in a mess and didn't dress ......up."
Hey? It seems that there is a very strange topic mixed in. Aoi scratched her head, "Sister Dongdong? ”
"Anyway, you're going to have to work hard to get the job done!" Sister Dongdong didn't know what to order at HIGH, and she was very excited from beginning to end, "I'll book a restaurant when it's done, have a good meal, and bring Bo Xi." ”
"Oh......" Aoi responded numbly, since he was a child, as long as the women around him have seen Posey, there will always be him as a topic of conversation after that.
"Okay, okay, that's it, you're busy, the last sketch was good, the editor-in-chief praised you, mmmm, hang up."
End of call. Aoi clenched her mobile phone, and seemed to be infected by intense emotions, she was so happy for a while, she wanted to call Lian Boxi to talk, but she had just quarreled during the day, and she should grit her teeth and wait for him to beg for mercy. It's better to get 50,000 yuan, and when you have a meal, you suddenly announce that it is more exciting.
I've listened to Lian Boxi have dinner with some celebrities all day long, and this time I can show off myself.
The other party is Jiang Yuan, known as a new generation of high-quality beautiful male idols, and he wants to completely defeat Lian Boxi's narcissism and arrogance, hahaha, so happy. Aoi stretches a big lazy waist! Come on!
The mobile phone rang again, and Lian Boxi, "Hey, I'm at the door of your community, I don't dare to come in, I bought you a supper, you come down and get it." ”
"Why don't you dare?"
"Your ex-boyfriend is standing downstairs in your house all the time, it's scary! You know the way he looks at me all the time......"
"Meng Fei? What's so scary? Aoi walked to the balcony and looked downstairs, and sure enough, it was.
"Otaku are not easy to mess with! People who usually have few interpersonal relationships are easy to go to extremes, I look good, people who eat by their faces, they can't afford to provoke this kind of person at all, it's super scary! ”
"Damn! I'll spray you with six gods of flower water, what kind of flower looks like the moon?! You can say such shameless words?! ”
"Tease you, make you laugh, I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."
"I'm happier when I don't see you! It's okay to be less attentive, I don't want supper, you can take it home. ”
"Ruthless and unintentional."
"Again! See! Both turned off their phones at the same time.
Kui put on slippers and went downstairs with garbage, Meng Fei was still standing there, with a box of peaches at his feet.
"Aoi-chan!" Meng Fei smiled, "I had a hunch that I would meet you tonight." ”
Aoi had a black line, "Let me take out the garbage first." ”
"Okay, the peaches issued by our company, my mother asked me to send them to you."
"Didn't you tell your mom that we had broken up?" Kui said as he walked out, and after a while he threw away the garbage and came back, Meng Fei was still standing in place.
"I didn't say ......," he muttered.
"But we've really broken up, Meng Fei. You don't want to come and stand downstairs like this all the time, don't waste any more time for me, okay? ”
"But my mother and your uncle think we're a good fit." Meng Fei pushed the round and thick old-framed myopic glasses.
Aoi sat down in the small flower bed next to her, and he also walked over, and the two of them sat side by side, an arm's length apart.
Meng Fei didn't dare to approach, "Xiaokui, I also think you're good, it's the best girl I've ever seen." When we go out shopping, and when you see a blood collection vehicle, you think of volunteering to donate blood. Take the subway, meet the elderly and children, you will definitely give up your seat. When you see a disabled person asking for food, you will definitely give them a little money. And ......"
Aoi was speechless, "Everyone will have a little bit of their own personality and strengths, but doesn't that mean it's suitable?" ”
"Why not?"
"Have you ever thought that we're both boring? You can't think of a topic, I don't have anything to say, even if you walk from Xujiahui to the Bund, it's two people walking stupidly, this is really ......" Kwai spread her hands helplessly, "Is it really inappropriate?" ”
"But I think even if I don't speak, I'll be happy as long as I'm with Xiaokui. Oh, my mom said that if two people travel together, they will find a lot of topics, so let's go on a trip together, okay? ”
"We really broke up, Meng Fei."
"Are we really not suitable? Xiaokui, you know, I'm honest, but I'm very good at taking care of people, a good girl like you, she won't spend money indiscriminately, she won't be vain, we're together, no one will cheat anyone, play tricks on anyone, isn't it good to have a very sincere relationship? Meng Fei asked again and again, as if he could never understand why they broke up.
Aoi stood up, feeling tired, and could only tell him over and over again, "We really broke up." ”
"Oh......" Meng Fei nodded, looking sluggish and pitiful.
"Peach, take it back to your family, thank your mother for me, and tell her the truth. I had already told my uncle early in the morning that we had broken up. Your mother will know sooner or later, so you might as well tell her first. I'm sorry, Meng Fei, good night. Aoi bowed to him sincerely, unable to find any other way to express her helplessness.
"Xiao Kui......" Meng Fei muttered her name, "Then we are still friends, right?" ”
In fact, this question has been asked a long time ago.
Eh...... Aoi sighed, not wanting to answer.
"It's a friend, you're still going to contact me, aren't you?" Meng Fei continued to ask.
Aoi felt that enough was enough, waved at him, and turned to go upstairs.
The sensor light in the corridor went off and on, and turned on and off, and he stood for a long time, and finally left with a box of peaches.
"Are you alright?" Lian Bosey texted to ask.
Aoi turned off her phone and went to sleep.
The interview was easier than expected, Jiang Yuan met with the economist and the assistant in the small conference room, circulated the illustration book she brought, discussed a few words, Jiang Yuan left, leaving the economist and the assistant to negotiate with Aoi.
"Miss Xiang, if you sign a contract, the painting style you provide to us in the future will be exclusive and will not appear in other commercial works." ”
Well? Aoi didn't react for a moment.
"I will choose you, that is, I like your unique painting style, which will also appear in our name in the future, of course, I don't want similar works on the market, understand?"
"Hmm...... Does it mean that you can't be the same for a lifetime? ”
"It wasn't that long, the basic agreement was five years. In other words, at least five years, Miss Xiang will provide our company with specialized painting services, and within five years, we will buy you out, and you will have to fully cooperate and keep the cooperation between us confidential. ”
"One hundred thousand in five years?!" Aoi began to settle accounts, although there is a lot of money, but it is not cost-effective, what if he paints other houses and becomes popular.
"Sign up plus the first 100,000. If there is a new manuscript, it will be clearly written in the contract. ”
"If you submit a manuscript to another company, you just need to change the style of painting to a completely different one?"
"So to speak. But I'm sure there won't be another company that makes that big money. So I hope Miss Xiang is also attentive. The broker snapped his fingers, and the assistant obediently ran out to get the contract and the check.
"You should collaborate on more than one book in five years, right?"
"The market is unpredictable, and it's hard to say that it's full of calculations. But you can also see how strong Mr. Jiang Yuan's momentum is now, and if the sales volume is right, it is impossible not to follow up with the market. ”
Sunflower nodded while calculating the account in his heart, there will be 100,000 yuan for the contract, and the new book will be counted as another money. This is much more profitable than the usual 100 yuan for a black and white illustration, and a few magazines a month at most. No matter how I think about it, I'm still very excited.
The contract was handed to her, and she looked at it carefully, it was formal, clear, and there were no text traps. She decided, signed, and instantly got the check from the broker. It's as fast as a dream.
Aoi left the building with a check in her hand and called as soon as she got out.
"Sister Dongdong! Nailed it! Fifty thousand! I've got it! ”
"Ahhh Dongdong shouted more excitedly than her, and the point sounded like it wasn't 50,000 yuan at all.
"Sister Dongdong, I've never seen anything like this, isn't it too easy! Is it true?! ”
"What movie lines are you talking about, that's not what we introduced, how many good things have been said for you, it's the same as Neiding, of course it's not complicated."
"But it's not complicated, is this how rich people spend their money?"
"Eh, stupid, they're looking for gunmen, and they're not looking for commercial packaging for you, just take the money to settle it, are you still showing off all over the world. You hang up the phone first, I'll book a hotel, remember to call Lian Boxi, Lian Boxi! Sister Dongdong hung up the phone.
Aoi was stunned in place, obviously she had made her own money, and her own celebration party, but Dongdong was excited as if she was going on a blind date.
What is even Boxi, Lianboxi, and 50,000 yuan are not equal at all.
Aoi looked at the phone and thought about it, hahaha, it seems to fold the money into the shape of a fan, and use it to slap Posey's cheek, sample, you think you've seen so much money?
The phone rang again, and it was still Sister Dongdong. "It's 7 o'clock tonight, CITIC Pacific South Beauty!"
Booked so quickly?! Aoi has a black line.
"Go and inform, hurry." The phone hung up.
Sister Dongdong, you're too undisguised, aren't you...... Aoi lifted her forehead and began to make a call.
"Hey...... At 7 o'clock tonight, CITIC Pacific South has dinner. Aoi announced expressionlessly.
"Huh? Me, did I hear me right? Who invites whom? Lian Boxi rubbed his ears.
"I ...... Please...... Come...... Eat...... Rice...... No...... See...... No...... Scattered ......" Aoi stood on the road, waving her slap, simulating the pleasure of slapping him with money.
"CITIC Pacific? South Beauty? ”
"Hmm."
"You also know CITIC Pacific? Do you know which way the CITIC Pacific Gate opens? ”
"Love doesn't come." After Aoi finished speaking, he thought of Sister Dongdong, if he didn't come tonight, Dongdong might eat people, so he could only roar: "I'm annoyed, come over at night!" That's it! ”
"Did you win the lottery?"
"Goodbye."
"Hey, hey......"
