Chapter 731: Keeping it up
I was immediately embarrassed. It turned out that he already knew about it before eating and talked to me so much.
I sighed softly and said, "Then why are you still talking to me so much and inviting me to dinner and so on? Shouldn't you just leave?"
"You go from Chengdu to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Xinjiang, I just treat you to a meal."
She is so generous and has a really good personality. I can't see that she is angry at all. She is even smiling all the time.
In this case, I didn't have to hide it and said straight away: "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I really hope you can join us."
She shook her head without hesitation and said: "Many Internet celebrity companies have approached me before you. My answer is still the same. I don't want to join any company. I'm fine as I am now and don't want to be restricted."
With her attitude, it is useless for me to ask her for remuneration. She can make money on her own and there is no need to be affiliated with a company.
So I didn’t mention a word about remuneration.
Then, I said to her: "I know you have a team. I can let your entire team join our company and set up a separate department for you. I will not restrict all your decisions."
She smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, why are you doing this? Aren't you just looking for me to make money for you?"
I smiled bitterly, suddenly not knowing what to say.
She added: "I'm sorry, I am outspoken, so don't mind."
"It's okay, I just really like you. I've been following you for a long time and I can be considered a fan of yours."
"I can give you an autograph."
"What I want is not your signature, but you."
She shrugged and said, "Mr. Chen, there are many people on Douyin who have more fans than me. Why would you hang me on a tree?"
She is really outspoken, and I just like to deal with people like this to avoid the hassle of going around and around.
I replied concisely and concisely: "Two reasons, one is that you are very independent; the other is that you have a good personality and do very meaningful things."
"But these things I do cannot make you money at all, and may even cause you to lose money."
"You know about my company, then you should know about Yoona Charity under our company, right?"
She nodded and said: "I know, you did a great job in this matter. But Mr. Chen, I have my own ideas. I really appreciate your kindness. We can cooperate in the future."
She has already given me a clear answer, which can be regarded as a tactful rejection.
But I still don't want to give up. If she makes me feel bad at all, I will give up.
But after seeing her in person, I was even more satisfied.
I continued to say to her: "Let's not talk like this, it's boring. You tell me what you think first, and I'll tell you what I think, okay?"
"Mr. Chen, you saw me when you came here just now. I'm very busy. I've been chatting with you for almost an hour now."
After saying that, she stood up, smiled and said to me, "Sorry, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she turned and left.
It's quite disappointing, but I had already thought about it before I came here, so it's okay.
I didn't plan to give up just yet. I also booked a room in this B&B and planned to stay with her right here.
I know it's annoying for me to be like this. If I were her, I wouldn't be as patient as her.
But I don't want to give up. If I can win her over, the company will really get twice the result with half the effort.
My room was opposite their studio, and at night I would quietly lie on their door and eavesdrop.
This is quite obscene, but it is the only way to know their whereabouts.
In the room, a male voice asked Xiao Qi: "Isn't she here to discuss cooperation?"
Xiaoqi replied: "No, it was the person who contacted me on Weibo who wanted me to join their company."
"This person is quite capable! He ran from Chengdu to our studio in Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Xinjiang. He is very persistent."
Another boy said: "Xiao Qi, have you ever learned about their company?"
"After checking, do you know that Yoona and Liu Qinglan are from his company?"
"Hey! Yoona is very popular recently. I heard that a Yoona charity organization has been established."
"Yes, that's him. This guy is actually quite good, but he just found the wrong person." Xiao Qi said again.
"Xiao Qi, let me tell you that we can actually think about it. It's very difficult for us to turn over funds now. Only half of the cities have not been visited. If we really follow the plan, we don't have enough funds."
Xiaoqi sighed again and said: "If you can save, then save. I'll try to negotiate a few cooperation projects here."
"That guy seems to live next door to us, and he's preparing to defend us to the death!"
"It doesn't matter, let him keep it. Get up early tomorrow morning. We will set off before five o'clock."
Next they talked about work-related matters, and there was no need for me to continue listening.
However, I also grasped two important points. One is that they are currently short of funds; the other is that they are planning to avoid me and set off very early in the morning.
I decided to set the alarm clock for four o'clock in the morning and have to wake up before they wake up.
It’s really cold in Xinjiang at night. Fortunately, there is air conditioning in the room, so I can curl up under the quilt and be fine.
I went to bed early and woke up on time when the alarm clock rang at four in the morning.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to wake myself up, then I stayed in the room.
Almost half an hour later, I finally heard movement outside.
There was also a very quiet voice: "Keep it down, don't wake him up."
Little did they know that I had already gotten up and was waiting. After hearing the sound of them coming downstairs, I immediately followed them out.
It was still dark, so I followed them downstairs. When I saw them loading some photography equipment into the car, I was about to leave.
This reflects the inconvenience of not having a car, so I just watched them leave.
There were no taxis on the roadside. I finally waited for one, but there were still passengers in the car.
But I still stopped the taxi, took out two hundred yuan, and said to the passenger: "Brother, do me a favor. I need a car urgently. Can you hire the next one?"
Money is easy to use. He was stunned for a moment and took the money before decisively getting out of the car.
After I got in the car, I asked the driver to chase Xiaoqi and the others in the direction they left just now.
The driver told me that the speed in Xinjiang cannot exceed 60. The traffic regulations here are very strict. Fortunately, the driver knows the shortcuts.
He took me on a shortcut and finally caught up with Xiaoqi and the others. I felt relieved and just asked the driver to follow behind.
I followed him out of the city, and the driver said to me: "Young man, we are already out of the city, are you still following me?"
"Tell me, how much money do you make in a typical day?"
The driver looked at me and asked, "What are you doing? Do you want to charter a car?"
"Well, tell me, how much do you usually earn in a day?"
"I only have to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to hand over my shift. Normally, the average salary is about five or six hundred."
"I'll give you one thousand, and I'll cover the gas money for you as well. Just follow me today."
When the driver heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, that's no problem. You can go wherever you want, as long as it's not too far away."
