Chapter 13 Even if I am notorious, how could I ever hurt you
Digital special effects was the result of Jiangbei's decision to invest in the company two years ago at the invitation of Big Fatty Hai. At that time, he also took three million from Li Youqing in the name of investment, but in fact Xiao Nizi had almost forgotten about this incident.
So she was still a little confused when this issue was raised.
"Have we invested in any industries before?"
Hearing this, Jiangbei had no choice but to replay the scene at that time to reawaken Li Youqing's relevant memories in this regard.
After hearing this, Li Youqing suddenly realized, and then his face suddenly changed, and he asked seriously: "Did I lose money? Can I still get my two million back? Is the company still there? I really can't go to the office to move some furniture and green plants.
It’s okay, just stop the loss in time!”
"The benefits of digital special effects in the past two years have been pretty good. Do you remember that movie "The Wandering Blue"? At that time, Ji Yingzi chose to do post-production in the digital special effects we invested in." Jiang Bei slowly explained.
In fact, since the release of "Wandering Blue", ordinary people may not know much about this special effects company, but film professionals in the industry have more or less remembered the name. Thanks to the success of the film in the end, digital special effects
The company's business has gradually increased, its profits have turned from losses to profits, and it is booming.
"It turns out that the post-production of "Wandering Blue" was done in the special effects company we invested in? I didn't even know it!" Li Youqing suddenly realized.
She is an actress, and after filming "Wandering Blue", she did not pay much attention to the post-production of the film. She only heard that Teacher Ji Yingzi had been hiding in a special effects company for food and accommodation, but she did not know that the special effects company was
She invested it herself.
Of course, this was because she didn't ask too much when she first invested. She simply trusted her husband and gave him her savings for investment.
"I am now a shareholder of a special effects company. If I take the movie for post-production, on the one hand, I can get a relatively low price, and on the other hand, it can be digested internally, which can greatly reduce investment costs."
In fact, Jiangbei not only plans to hand over the advertising video to a special effects company for production, but also combines the animation works under Westward Animation with the special effects company to complement each other and make progress together.
Li Youqing listened to his explanation carefully, and nodded rhythmically with her little head, seeming to agree with the proposal: "What you said makes sense, let's do this, and I will tell Teacher Ji tomorrow?"
"Okay, let's eat now." Jiang Bei put the short ribs into a bowl for his wife and said.
"Okay, eat, eat." Xiao Nizi was very happy. She smiled and narrowed her eyes. She lowered her head and plucked the rice, full of happiness.
The old man watched all this calmly, with an indescribable smile on his lips.
Go ahead and do it, this is your last chance to be a starring role.
...
At the end of October, early winter has arrived, and the howling cold wind is raging on the street. The Qingjiang Hot Pot store located at the intersection of Weilan Road has been renovated, and the vents are wide open to eliminate methane.
The decoration inside the house is grand yet solemn, and the soft lighting makes every table look just right. The nearly 300 square meters of space looks open and bright with professional decoration, and dozens of hot pot tables are neatly displayed.
On the surrounding walls, the staff are hanging up newly printed promotional posters, premium menus and the endorsement image of Li Youqing combining hot pot.
The protagonist on the poster is walking back and forth in the hot pot restaurant, instructing the staff to put up the posters that look good and have an aesthetic feel.
Jiang Bei was sitting alone on the sofa near the door where customers could sit while waiting in line, holding a notebook and catching up on the story content of "Doraemon".
"Da da da~"
At this time, footsteps were heard, and Huang Jinchang, who worked as the general manager of Qingjiang Hotpot, walked over calmly and said: "Boss, the current staff recruitment, training, supply, material preparation, etc. have all been completed. The main Qingjiang Hotpot store will be officially open in two days."
Put into use.”
This is to report on the work.
Hearing this, Jiang Bei raised his head and smiled at Huang Jinchang. While expressing his approval, he also said: "It's done well, but I suggest that employee training must be strengthened. The employee regulations I sent you before can be printed out and given to employees.
When they take it seriously. After all, we are a brand with a service-oriented philosophy.”
"I understand." Huang Jinchang nodded in response.
"kindness"
The scene became quiet, and Jiang Bei lowered his head and continued working on his story.
But not long after, he raised his head again and asked doubtfully: "Does Manager Huang have anything else to do?"
Yes.
Huang Jinchang did not leave, but stood still, unable to speak.
Seeing the boss asking, Huang Jinchang hesitated and said: "Boss, regarding my niece's registered permanent residence..."
Jiang Bei frowned when he heard this, remembering that the previous transaction between the two parties was hot pot recipes and household registration. Now that Huang Jinchang asked about this matter, it must be that the household registration has not been completed yet.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei reassured: "Wait a moment, I will ask you."
After saying that, he picked up his cell phone and made a call to Liangliang.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service..."
Damn it!
Damn Zhang Jiuliang, can you try to pay the phone bill yourself?
A minute later, after successfully paying the phone bill for Du Wang's mobile phone, the call was finally successfully connected.
"Hello? Brother, how can you get through my phone?"
"Then how do you tolerate your phone being shut down?"
"It doesn't matter if my phone is down, I have WIFI!"
Jiangbei: "..."
It made sense, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"Forget it, I have something to ask you, why hasn't Huang Jinchang's niece's household registration been completed yet?"
"What's Xiao Huang's niece's household registration? In fact, there is no problem with the household registration, but Xiao Huang's niece doesn't seem to agree with the move from her original household registration to Weilan City. She said she would consider it. I won't wait for her reply!"
"disagree?"
"Yes! This girl not only disagrees, but now she goes to the animation office station in the west every day. She says she wants to learn to draw illustrations and make money to support herself, but she is a minor. How can I dare to let Xiangcai hire her? It is illegal to hire child labor.
"
"this......"
Jiang Bei raised his head and looked at Huang Jinchang who was standing aside.
...
In an ordinary three-story building on Heng'an East Road, the office of Westbound Animation is located here. With the establishment of the Doraemon project, the company has also begun to be busy.
What I have to mention here is that the number of women studying art is much higher than that of men. In addition, I don’t know if it is because of the deliberate decision of Anseong Gambling King, but now three illustrators and eight staff members of Saihe Animation are all women.
Of course, this also includes Saikai Animation general manager Kana Nozawa.
And except for Nozawa Kana, the rest of the staff are relatively young, with an average age of twenty-three, which can be said to be full of youthful vitality.
Since it is an office space for young people, the decoration style and atmosphere inside are naturally more cheerful and pleasant. Every employee's face is more or less filled with smiles, and the office is full of laughter.
But amidst all the laughter, there was a child who didn't fit in. She was lying on a table alone, with a serious face, holding a pencil and drawing strokes.
Judging from her unfamiliar movements and body parts, she doesn't seem to be proficient in this area.
Her name is Zhao Ling'an, she is twelve years old, and she is Huang Jinchang's niece.
But she doesn't think so, because she has no blood relationship with Huang Jinchang, so she actually resists outsiders saying that she is Huang Jinchang's niece.
She is the daughter of Zhao Ling'an, Zhao Huaian and Song Lingxi.
"Ling'an, is the sketch I asked you to draw ready?"
There was a shout not far away. Zhao Ling'an shook off his inner thoughts, put down his pencil, picked up the sketch he had just drawn and ran towards the direction of the sound.
"Sister Yaoyao, the painting has been finished."
"Come and let me have a look...yo! The painting is really good. It seems that Xiao Ling'an has the potential to become a painter."
"It's really good. I suggest Ling'an apply for an art university when he grows up. If he specializes in this field, he might actually be able to achieve something."
The young ladies around her were praising her, which made Zhao Ling'an feel a little happy, but she didn't want to engage in the painting industry; the reason why she wanted to learn painting was just to find a job that could support herself.
Just a living.
What she wants most is to revive the business of her ancestors and bring the lost Sanwu Hot Pot Restaurant back to the world, so as to bring glory to her deceased parents.
But these are secrets and she cannot tell anyone, including her so-called uncle.
Although Westbound Animation is small, the benefits are really good. Lunch and dinner are all included every day, and afternoon tea is available in the afternoon. Although Zhao Lingan is not an employee there, he is loved by everyone because of his young age, whether it is the main meal or the
I will prepare one for her for afternoon tea.
The little girl is very happy. This way she can be considered self-reliant and does not need help from the so-called uncle.
After having dinner at Xixian Animation, Zhao Lingan walked down after cleaning the company, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker standing in the distance.
She just glanced at him and turned away.
This is her uncle, Huang Jinchang.
Huang Jinchang followed up, approached in a few steps, and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you want to study?"
"What can I study if I don't have money?" Zhao Ling'an said without looking back.
"I have found a job and can support you through college." Huang Jinchang said with a frown.
"I don't want your money, I can earn it myself." The little girl still faced forward and refused to stop.
"You are only twelve years old. The country does not allow you to work at this age. Where can you make money?" Huang Jinchang sighed after finishing speaking and said: "Ling'an, please stop making trouble. Listen to your uncle and go back to study. Wait.
It won’t be too late for you to go out and make a living after you become successful in your studies.”
Xiao Ling'an's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Huang Jinchang: "You are not my uncle, you are an abandoned disciple who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors!"
Huang Jinchang was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually darkened: "Who told you?"
"Everyone says so, you are a heinous villain!"
"Pa~"
A crisp slap hit Xiao Ling'an on the face, but she did not cry or be timid. She looked at Huang Jinchang stubbornly, tears twinkling in her eyes.
a long time.
Huang Jinchang looked at the stubborn twelve-year-old girl in front of him, and his anger turned into a long sigh. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Ling'an's hand and walked forward.
The wind is very strong.
Whispered a word.
"Xiao Ling'an, you have to remember that even if everyone says that I am bad and evil, as long as I treat you very well, you are not allowed to say anything wrong about me."
