After Tian Shao took a shower, he called Xing Shaohui and asked him to come to the villa tomorrow.
Xing Shaohui has been waiting for him to come over, and the finished cartoon has been delivered. He also negotiated with several companies, but he thought the price was a bit low and he couldn't reach an agreement.
Zhao Xiaorou saw her carrying a book to the back garden and asked, "Aren't you going to have a rest?"
When Tian Shao came to Hong Kong City before, he washed and dried his hair before going to bed. It was quite surprising that he didn't go to bed today.
Tian Shao explained: "I used to have to catch up on sleep when I arrived in Hong Kong because I couldn't sleep well in the guest house. Now I stay in the house rented by Sankui at night and sleep very well."
Sankui rented a small courtyard and specially reserved a room for her. Knowing that he loved to be clean, he hired an aunt to clean it every day. Knowing that she was coming, not only did the cleaning take place, but the bedding was also washed and exposed to the sun. I have to say,
Sankui is acting more thoughtfully now than before.
Speaking of clothing factories, Zhao Xiaorou had an idea. She went into the room and took some clothing design drafts, and asked Tian Shao: "I designed this, what do you think?"
Tian Shao looked at it, nodded and said: "It's a great idea, but this coat will look better if it is double-breasted; in this picture, pleating here will look more fashionable."
The two began to discuss the design draft, and time passed quickly as they were so busy. Only when Gao Youliang reminded them did they realize that it was already past six o'clock.
After dinner, the two of them took a walk in the back garden.
Zhao Xiaorou asked: "Xiao Shao, how long will you stay in Hong Kong City this time?"
Tian Shao shook her head and said she didn't know yet. The only thing she was sure of was that she must go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. This was an agreement between her and Tan Yue, and she couldn't really be the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Zhao Xiaorou asked: "Xiao Shao, you and Tan Yue are both married. When will you have children?"
Tian Shao doesn't say that he will have a child in three years now, so as to save everyone from asking: "Let it go, I'll have a baby when I get pregnant. If I can't get pregnant, it's okay to have a baby a few years later, just in time to work on my career."
"I'm afraid the Tan family will rush you."
Tian Shao was really not worried. She smiled and said: "Tan Yue has three nephews. The eldest nephew is already the father of three children. His younger brother also has two sons and one daughter. The Tan family is not short of heirs."
She felt that with Mr. Tan's vision, he might still hope that she would give birth to a child a few years later. After all, she had so many things on her hands now, and if no one took over if she got pregnant and gave birth to a child, she would suffer a lot.
Zhao Xiaorou nodded and said, "Just don't push her. Bao Huamao's mother urges him to get married and have children every day. She heard him complain several times when we went to Sijiu City together."
Tian Shao stopped, looked at Zhao Xiaorou, and asked: "Sister Xiaorou, have you not let him go yet?"
Zhao Xiaorou was silent for a moment and said: "If I want to let go completely, I would definitely be lying to you, but I am not suitable for him. What he values most is money, and women are just a tonic to him."
Tian Shao said: "A woman is a condiment, but it does not mean that a wife is a condiment! You see, his attitude towards his mother is completely different. I believe that he will also respect his wife very much."
"Sister Xiaorou, I think if you haven't let go, you can try to recover. Even if the final result is not what you want, you will have no regrets. If not, let it go completely. If you meet someone good, don't reject it. I don't think you can get up or down.
It’s uncomfortable even to sit on it.”
She had long seen that Zhao Xiaorou had not let go of Bao Huamao, but she pretended not to care because of many concerns. In the past, she did not agree with marrying into the Bao family, but now the situation is different. Bao's father can't control it.
He and Bao's mother have settled in Australia and will soon have a new partner. If they really can't give up, marrying Bao Huamao would be a good idea.
Zhao Xiaorou touched her face and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
Tian Shao held his forehead and said: "It wasn't obvious before, but this time when I came back from Sijiu City, it was particularly obvious. Didn't you notice that from the time I entered the house to now, the one you talk about the most is Bao Huamao?"
Zhao Xiaorou was silent.
Tian Shao didn't continue to say anything. As a friend, she could only give suggestions. She had to make her own decision on what to do.
Lying in bed at night, Tian Shao missed Tan Yue. He didn't know if his case went smoothly or if he didn't eat or sleep well. Alas, it was fine before, but this separation is particularly uncomfortable.
Unable to sleep, Tian Shao simply got up and pondered the plot of the new book. His eyelids were so tired that he crawled into bed to sleep, and slept until after eight o'clock.
When she washed up and came down to have breakfast, she found that Xing Shaohui had already arrived.
Looking at her expression, Zhao Xiaorou frowned and asked, "What time did you go to bed last night? When I got up after one o'clock, the light in your room was still on."
"Last night I was lying in bed thinking about the plot, and suddenly inspiration came to me, so I got up and started writing."
Zhao Xiaorou originally wanted to ask her not to stay up late, but she stopped after hearing this.
Now Shaohua Company is in direct contact with the studio, so Tian Shao knows the company's situation well and does not need to report separately. What we are talking about now is the sale of Furukawa animations.
Xing Shaohui felt that Furukawa had a huge readership, so the asking price was relatively high. However, several parties interested in buying the animation thought it was too expensive and kept lowering the price.
Tian Shao thought for a while and then said: "We can give in another 10%, let's make 5.5, if not, forget it."
In the past, it was impossible to buy out the animation copyright, and it was all divided into shares. Originally, we were talking about Sanqi, but now Xing Shaohui is a little reluctant to make such a big concession.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, this is our first cartoon. The most important thing is to get a name and promote the cartoon. Wait until the second and third parts, and then we will mention June 4th or even July 3rd.
They won’t refuse if they know they can make money.”
Xing Shaohui hesitated and said: "Xiao Shao, Editor-in-Chief Huang and I both feel that Dragon Ball and One Piece have a wider audience, and turning these two into cartoons will not only be very popular, but also more profitable."
Tian Shao's original intention was to wait for more advanced technology to appear in a few years before filming, but everyone around him wanted to make these two comics into cartoons. Before, it was done by You Qisheng, Lou Ziyu, Fang Zhou and others, and now it is
Xing Shaohui and Huang Hexuan. She is not a willful person, and she has to consider everyone's ideas.
Xing Shaohui was very happy to see that she had heard it, and then showed her last year's financial ledger and statements. He knew that Tian Shao had worked as an accountant before, so he had to read the general ledger and the statements to make sure there were no problems before bringing them over.
Tian Shao collected the things and said with a smile: "Uncle Xing, thanks to you, the company has not been able to take a good vacation in the past few years. I will give you a month's leave, and you can take advantage of this time to spend time with your family."
Xing Shaohui takes several vacations every year, but they only take four or five days: "It doesn't take a month, just half a month. My youngest son has applied to the university he likes, and my wife will return to Hong Kong after she promises that the child will go to university."
Although Tian Shao is here, there will be no problems in running the company with her in charge, but since she does not go to work and is not familiar with the people below, she may not be able to cope with emergencies when the time comes.
Tian Shao smiled and congratulated him: "So you will be reunited as husband and wife soon. Congratulations to you, Uncle Xing."
