Yuan Jin and Ling Su came back, and Zhang Jianhe didn't stay either. He was guilty. If he chatted in front of these two people and let them know his identity, who knew whether he would be captured.
Tian Shao looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "What clothes did you buy? Show me."
Yuan Jin said honestly: "Ling Su was staying down below and didn't go out. I went to the side for a walk. Comrade Tian, there is a vegetable market not far from here. Let's buy food and cook by ourselves from now on!"
Eating out is delicious but too expensive. One meal is his salary for one or two months, and just thinking about it makes his body ache. In the past, it was okay to stay for more than ten days, but this time he has to stay for more than a month.
No more.
Tian Shao smiled and said, "Can you cook?"
Yuan Jin looked at Ling Su and asked, "I can cook some simple dishes, what about you?"
Seeing him looking at him expectantly, Ling Su said regretfully: "Except for scrambled eggs, I can't do anything else."
Tian Shao does know how to cook, but it's okay to cook a meal once in a while, and it's impossible to eat three meals a day. Of course, even if she wants to, Yuan Jin and Ling Su won't let her do it. If she has time, she can read books and draw comics.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "If that doesn't work, we can hire an aunt. It doesn't cost much to have two meals a day."
Yuan Jin said resignedly: "Forget it, let me do it! Comrade Tian, if you want to eat anything, you can go outside and fight back."
No one in his family, from his grandmother to his younger sister, can cook. But Ling Su didn't know how to cook. It was a miscalculation on his part.
It was also very hot in Hong Kong City in early July, so Tian Shao did not go out in the afternoon. However, she was not idle either, writing plots or reading and painting.
At around four o'clock, Zhao Xiaorou called.
When Tian Shao heard her voice, he said, "I really thought you went to the Maldives? I didn't expect you went to the casino."
Zhao Xiaorou said: "You said before that you would come to Hong Kong during the summer vacation. How can I be willing to go to the Maldives? If you want to go, I have to wait until you return to the mainland."
She had heard that it was a tourist attraction, but she had never thought of going there. If something happens to someone who is not familiar with the place, she would be helpless every day. This was her first time in a casino.
go.
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Then when will you come back?"
Zhao Xiaorou said with a smile: "I have bought the ticket and will come back tomorrow. By the way, I can no longer live in the previous apartment. I rented an apartment in your building a few days ago. You are in my house on the 13th floor.
It’s the tenth floor.”
"Okay, let's wait until you come back."
In the evening, Xing Shaohui called to report today's negotiation with the Wandao newspaper. Because Tian Shao was very determined, the other party agreed to a 30-70 split. However, the other party also made a request and wanted to see K.
Xing Shaohui asked: "Xiao Shao, the other party is very sincere. Do you want to show your beauty?"
Tian Shao said: "It's inconvenient to tell them. Also, K is a cartoonist, not a star. She just needs to draw cartoons well."
She originally thought it was okay to appear in the spotlight, but the job Pei Yue wanted to do would conflict with this, so she tried to keep a low profile in the future. Even if she made investments in the future, she was prepared to hide behind the scenes.
After Xing Shaohui agreed, he said another thing: "Xiao Shao, what the boss wants to do is to cooperate with newspapers in Sakura Country. After all, we are not local, so it would be safer to cooperate with them."
"Uncle Xing, do you also think it's best to cooperate with them?"
Xing Shaohui really thinks so: "Xiao Shao, I know that if we directly open a company in Sakura Country, we can make more money. But the situation there is different from that in Hong Kong City. If we refuse, they will make it impossible for our comic newspaper to operate in the country.
Stand there."
Tian Shao was silent for a moment and said: "You need to contact them first. By the way, no matter who comes to negotiate in the future, the share ratio cannot be lower than 37, and it is only the comic copyright, and other things are not included."
To be on the safe side, she said: "After the contract is drawn up, show it to me first, and then ask a lawyer to help review it."
She is not a professional and is worried about not being able to discover the loopholes in the contract. She will not worry anymore if she hires a professional lawyer.
Xing Shaohui felt relieved when he saw that she finally relented. Before contacting Tian Shao, this girl refused to cooperate and wanted to open a company. But it is not that easy to open a company in a foreign country.
That night, Xing Shaohui took Xiumei to a high-end restaurant for dinner. Because the restaurant waiter leaked the news, they were stopped by several tabloid reporters when they came out.
A tabloid reporter put the microphone in front of Ling Xiumei and asked: "K, why didn't you come forward when negotiating with Wandao? Are you afraid of meeting strangers, or are you simply afraid of the Sakura people?"
Ling Xiumei gave the tabloid reporter a sharp look, and the tabloid reporter felt a chill on her neck. However, she remembered what Tian Shao had said before, not to speak in public. However, although she did not speak, the contempt in her eyes was undisguised.
Early the next morning, the homepage of this newspaper read, 'Arrogant Genius Cartoonist K', and next to it was Ling Xiumei, who had her hands in her trouser pockets and an indifferent face.
The tabloid originally thought it would bring a wave of infamy to K, but as soon as the newspaper came out, everyone praised K for being cool and unique. In particular, some of K's fans wrote to the newspaper, hoping that K would be used in the next edition of the newspaper.
cover.
On that day, reporters and TV stations extended invitations to interview K, but Xing Shaohui rejected them all. This reporter was so good as the TV host, so he would be a gangster if he wanted to go.
Ling Xiumei disliked the picture of herself in the newspaper and said with a frown, "Uncle Xing, do I have to keep pretending to be Xiao Shao?"
Xing Shaohui saw her rejection and said: "The rise of comic companies has blocked some people's financial paths. For safety reasons, she cannot show up. This time, the people of Wandao are also negotiating and need your presence. In the future, if it is not important, you can not show up."
Coming to Hong Kong City.”
Ling Xiumei said: "Uncle, it's okay for me to pretend to be K, but don't ask me to put on makeup or powder again. It's too uncomfortable."
Yesterday afternoon, Xing Shaohui not only had someone buy her several sets of clothes, but also had her make up and do her hair before going out. It was okay to feel uncomfortable, but she still felt bad for asking for so much money.
"You still need to be careful when going out."
Seeing that she couldn't explain him, Ling Xiu had no choice but to call Tian Shao for help.
Tian Shao laughed and said, "You don't have to wear makeup if you don't like it. If you don't want to wear a skirt, don't wear it. Your comfort is the most important thing. But you can't wear mainland clothes. You can wear sports and casual clothes."
"Uncle Xing said no."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Tell Uncle Xing, K is a cartoonist, not a female star, so you can make it comfortable as you please. Otherwise, if you are dressed awkwardly, it will be easy for others to spot you when you go out."
With this, Ling Xiumei no longer has to be forced to put on makeup or hair, let alone wear high heels.
The next morning, Xing Shaohui took the contract over.
Tian Shao sat down and reviewed the contract carefully. He discovered a problem at this time, that is, all K's comic works will be published in their newspaper in the future. This is a bit of an overlord agreement.
Pointing to this article, Tian Shao said: "Change this to, for K's and later works, priority will be given to their comic publications under the same conditions."
In the future, the work must be published in their newspaper, and once the contract is signed, the price cannot be lowered.
