August 18th is a good day to open for business, so Shaohua Comics Company chose this day to start construction.
Gong Qishui said that when opening a business here in Hong Kong City, they usually prepare sacrifices for six animals and then invite lion dances to add to the fun. Tian Shao found it troublesome and refused, but on the opening day, he invited a God of Wealth to come and lead everyone to burn incense.
According to tradition, when a new company is established, the boss should prepare a "laoshi" for every employee, which means "a good start". Worshiping and lion dance are all omitted, but the red envelope Tian Shao is not spared, and is given to everyone.
Already.
Because it has just opened and has not yet recruited people, there are only eleven people including Gong Qishui's two sons and three apprentices. Bao Huamao and Li Hongyi did not come, but they both sent flower baskets, and several of Gong Qishui's friends
They all sent flower baskets.
Zhao Xiaorou was planning to come, but her mother made a fuss last night and asked her to go home, so she didn't come out today.
Compared with the bustling scene when other new companies were established, they could be said to be too cold and indifferent. People in the building felt that this company would probably go bankrupt again soon.
After worshiping the God of Wealth, Tian Shao, Xing Shaohui, Gong Qishui and others held a meeting. First of all, the company wanted to recruit people.
Gong Qishui agreed.
Xing Shaohui nodded in agreement. Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals.
Tian Shao and Gong Qishui said again: "I will finalize the manuscripts of "Furukawa Detective" and "Dragon Ball" and send them over. You don't have to worry about this, but a newspaper cannot rely on me alone. After we publish it in the newspaper and promote it, someone will submit the manuscript.
We also need to select excellent works. You can also think about it more if you have nothing to do on weekdays, and the good works you draw can be published in newspapers and periodicals."
Gong Qishui stood up in shock and asked, "Miss Xing, where are you going?"
Tian Shao said: "Of course I will go back. I am still studying in college. But don't worry, I will send the work on time and I will come over during the holidays."
She finally got into the university, but she couldn't drop out just because she was doing business. Besides, now is not the best time to start a business. When the policies are clear in two years, she will just graduate, and then she can show off her talents.
Gong Qishui asked with some disbelief: "Ms. Xing, this newspaper comes out once a week, and you have to write two issues for the two books in your hand. You still have to study, can you finish the painting on time?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I signed a contract with Mr. Bao and the others. If they fail to meet their requirements within one year, not only will the company belong to them, but I will also have to work for them for free for five years. If I was not sure, how could I sign the contract?
Such a contract."
Xing Shaohui said to her: "Chief Editor Gong, if I didn't have enough confidence, I wouldn't quit my job in the bank and come here."
Gong Qishui shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't trust Miss Xing, but the fastest cartoonist in Hong Kong can only draw six issues a month. It's even more impossible for Miss Xing to go to school."
This thing obviously goes against common sense, how can he believe it!
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Editor-in-chief Gong, it is impossible for me to make wedding clothes for others. Editor-in-chief Gong will know in a month if I can draw eight issues of comics in one month."
Hearing this, Gong Qishui said nothing more.
The three people exchanged opinions with each other and wrote down all the things that needed to be prepared and paid attention to. By the time the meeting was over, it was already time for lunch.
Tian Shao ordered food for everyone, but she and Pei Yue went to the restaurant to eat. It was not that the food was not good, but that the office was too hot and she really didn't want to eat in that environment.
While eating, Tian Shao said: "Before summer next year, I will install air conditioning in the company."
Forget it now, I don’t have such a big budget. After buying three floors, I have to count every penny carefully. Besides, the publication will only be published in October, so the weather will get cooler after a long time.
After dinner, the two returned to the hotel.
As soon as they returned, the front desk lady said to them: "Ms. Xing, Miss Zhao just called and said she would treat you to dinner tonight and pick you up at five o'clock."
"okay, thank you."
The two returned to the room. Tian Shao leaned on the bedside and said: "When the company makes money, I will buy a few houses next to the company. This way, I don't have to stay in a hotel and it will be convenient to work."
"Wait until you make money."
Zhao Xiaorou came to see her in the evening. This girl didn't like to wear the same clothes, so this time she was more casual, wearing a white shirt, a denim skirt, and a pair of white sneakers.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Sister Xiaorou, you look like a schoolgirl dressed like this."
Zhao Xiaorou said with a crooked eyebrow: "I've already signed up, but I'll really become a student again when I go to class in a few days."
She not only signed up to learn English, but also signed up for a fashion design course. Bao Huamao was quite surprised when she found out, but he admired her behavior very much. Zhao Xiaorou had learned English well, and she would be proud to take her out when the time came.
When going out, Zhao Xiaorou looked at Pei Yue and said, "We are going shopping later, so don't follow us. After shopping, I will send Tian Shao back."
Pei Yue didn't agree, so he couldn't rest assured if the two of them went out alone at night.
Tian Shao also said: "Let Pei Yue go with us. If he is not here, I won't feel at ease."
She was caught off guard and took a mouthful of dog food. Zhao Xiaorou said that she was full without eating. Fortunately, Tian Shao only talked to her and ignored Pei Yue, otherwise she would probably turn around and go back. If she ate too much dog food, she would
Indigestible.
This time I didn’t go to a Western restaurant, but to a famous Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong City. However, the place was a bit far away, so Zhao Xiaorou took a taxi directly.
Pei Yue sat in the front, while Tian Shao and Zhao Xiaorou sat in the back chatting.
Zhao Xiaorou lowered her voice and said: "Xiao Shao, I remember when you made an introduction and said that the origin of your name was 'never forget your original intention and live up to your time'. Is your company named Shaohua derived from this?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Tian Shao said. Her grandfather chose this name because he hoped that she could always stick to her original intention and dream and work hard for it. This time when setting up a company, she directly chose the word "Shaohua" without even thinking about it.
Zhao Xiaorou said helplessly: "Bao Huamao thought your company chose his name on purpose. I told him no, but he still didn't believe it, saying it couldn't be such a coincidence."
She secretly said at the time that it was lucky that Bao Huamao didn't know Tian Shao's real name, otherwise she would have thought that Tian Shao had deliberately combined their names.
Tian Shao stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about this incident."
Pei Yue turned to look at the two people chatting passionately behind him. He felt it was amazing. The two people had completely different personalities, but they were as good as sisters. Even if they were separated for more than a year, there was no barrier at all. He had previously treated Zhao Xiaorou
There are many opinions that she is vain and superficial, but after more contact, I found that this girl is actually very straightforward and not mean-spirited. Perhaps this is the reason why the two of them can get along well!
