To this day, I still remember the way Liang Jing looked at me. It was the kind of look that could make people shudder. It was a look I had never seen before.
This look scared me, and I subconsciously let go of her arm.
She still stared at me with that same look and said in a stiff tone: "This has nothing to do with you. If you have any doubts, you should tell An Lan immediately."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
I just looked at her back, and suddenly for a moment I felt like I didn't recognize Liang Jing at all.
I think maybe it's because of what happened last night, but I don't know exactly what it is.
I really have no right to care about her personal affairs. I'm just worried about her and afraid that she will go astray.
When I came to the yard inside, I saw my mother pruning the green plants in the yard. She looked much more energetic than before. It seemed that he was quite used to living here.
Seeing me coming, my mother greeted me from afar.
I walked over to her and asked her: "Mom, I see you are getting more and more energetic. Are you feeling good lately?"
"Okay, it's very good. It's just troublesome for Lanlan and the others. I'm embarrassed to eat and use their food here."
An Lan was right next to her. After hearing what my mother said, she immediately said, "Auntie, it's okay. Besides, you grew most of what we eat, so we have to thank you."
My mother hurriedly waved her hand and said: "This code is the same code. Afeng, please tell Lanlan. I have been asking her to leave the cleaning of the yard to me in the future, but she refuses to do it. Help me tell her."
explain."
Before I opened my mouth, An Lan said: "Auntie, you really don't need it. You can live in peace. Someone comes to clean my yard regularly."
I know my mother is so busy that even though she grows so many fruits and vegetables, she still feels embarrassed.
So, I said to An Lan: "Just follow what my mother said, otherwise it would be embarrassing for her to live with you, and I would feel bad about it."
An Lan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Well, Auntie, from now on, you will be responsible for this yard and the yard next to it. Is that okay?"
I also quickly said to my mother: "Mom, this is fine. These two yards are enough for you to work on."
My mother agreed, and then said: "You guys chat, I will cook, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"It's okay. Auntie, just watch and do it. I'll help you later."
"Then I'll make sausages, A Feng's favorite." After my mother finished speaking, she happily went to the kitchen.
An Lan and I both looked at my mother's back. There was a smile in my eyes, and An Lan also said to me with a smile: "Look at your mother, how much she loves you. We don't usually eat sausages."
"Mom is the only good person in the world!"
An Lan's face suddenly changed, and he said in a cold tone: "This is not absolute."
I knew something about the relationship between An Lan and her mother, so I touched my nose awkwardly and said, "It's okay, my mother will be your mother from now on, and she will be so kind to you."
"No need to do it anymore. In fact, she is very good to me now. She also told me many things about you when you were a child."
I was shocked: "Isn't it right? What did you say?"
"You said you were afraid of the dark when you were a child, and you would follow her wherever she went. It turns out you are so cowardly!"
I felt speechless and said, "Isn't that what happened when I was a kid?"
"I'm not afraid of the dark!"
"Then you're afraid of mice, isn't that the same thing?"
"You are really... a person who doesn't want to pick up the pot."
I laughed, suddenly became serious, and said to her: "I stopped Liang Jing just now and wanted to talk to her about recent events, but she obviously didn't have a good attitude."
An Lan also became serious and said: "No need to think about it, now I am 80% sure that she has found a new home."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"You can't keep someone who insists on leaving."
"Then how much does she need to compensate you?"
"According to the contract, she has to pay me at least 25 million in liquidated damages."
This number made me take a deep breath, and I was speechless for a long time.
An Lan looked at me again and said, "Why, are you worried about her?"
"No, I'm thinking that she definitely doesn't have that much money to compensate now, so will her next employer pay such a high price to poach her?"
"Let me tell you this! If Sun Xiaoxiao is willing to come to my side, I will be willing to help her pay even if it is a liquidated damages of up to 20 to 30 million yuan."
"Isn't that true?"
An Lan smiled slightly and said: "This industry is like this. Don't think that two to three million is a lot. In fact, this is nothing to the traffic of a big Internet celebrity."
I believe this, because Liang Jing made millions in less than half a year in this industry. This industry is extremely profitable.
Because I didn’t know anything about this industry, I asked An Lan again: “If that’s the case, then as long as you have some money, you can find Internet celebrities to help you make money? Then the world won’t be in chaos?”
An Lan replied unhurriedly: "It's not that simple. This industry is not an emerging industry. It's just that Douyin has only become popular not long ago... Therefore, the market is now basically saturated. If you don't have anyone to take you into the industry, you can
You can’t get a share of the pie at all.”
"Then how did you do it?"
"Cai Xinman."
I was stunned and said, "Didn't she work in the traditional entertainment industry before?"
"Yes, but she has a lot of resources, and although she has never been in the internet celebrity business before, her network of contacts is enough to support her."
I realized later and said, "Then the salary you gave her is not low, right?"
"There is no salary. What I discussed with her is to join the company. She joins my company. She doesn't have to invest a penny. I will give her 100% of the shares."
I took another breath and said, "Twenty percent is quite a lot."
"No way, I need her. Without her, I wouldn't be able to do it."
"That's true, but Cai Xinman left a pretty good impression on me."
"She is quite good, both at work and in daily life."
I was thoughtful for a while, and while walking with An Lan in the yard, I asked her again: "After Liang Jing leaves, there will be no big traffic in the company. What will you do?"
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about."
After a short pause, An Lan said again: "So after much thought, I decided to create my own Internet celebrity."
"Isn't this easy?"
"It's okay, let's take it step by step. I'm not in a hurry now, because I can't keep a person who has changed his mind."
It wasn't until now that I realized how difficult it was for An Lan. What I usually see of her is her glamorous appearance and resolute attitude.
But privately she also has troubles, and it's not easy for her either.
This is the world of adults, and there is never any easy word.
