Can't wake up during the day and can't sleep at night. This is Fang Jing's normal situation now. It took several days to reverse the jet lag.
Worried that he was too tired, Yang Ning did not assign him any work and chose to let him rest for a while.
But Fang Jingke couldn't take any time off. On the last day of December, he took Wu Jiajia to the bank and then drove to the studio.
"Xiao Zhang, have you finished writing today's manuscript? Who is in charge of your team, Yang Chaoyue? The writing is good. Several articles have received millions of reads, and a bonus will be given next month."
"Mouse, you guys need to work harder. Last week's publicity wasn't very good. Maybe people will complain about us."
"Yingzi, don't accept the recent marketing accounts. We are already saturated. Let's digest them first. If necessary, let them come to Liemodu for training, and the studio will reimburse the expenses."
Wearing a sleek suit, polished leather shoes, and a famous watch on his wrist, Gao Wei now looks like a successful man. He has been following Fang Jing for three years. Before Fang Jing's studio was established, his income was the highest in the village.
Later, Fang Jing asked him to head the propaganda department. Within a few years, he had a garage and a deposit.
"Viagra, I'm so busy, when can I have a wedding with you and Sister Ying?"
"Yes, Lao Gao, I heard last month that you were preparing for a new house. It's been a while and there's still no news. Don't delay Wang Ying."
"Hahaha, I was just about to tell you that on the 12th of next month, no one is allowed to run away."
"Who is getting married?" Fang Jing walked in at the door, carrying a black backpack.
"Hello, Mr. Fang!"
"Fang Jing, I'm getting married." Gao Wei said with a smile.
"Who is it for? I didn't hear what you said."
Fang Jing and Gao Wei grew up together. Although they have been busy these past few years, they still visit the studio from time to time. I have never heard that they both have girlfriends.
Pointing at a twenty-three or four-year-old girl, Gao Wei said sweetly: "Wang Ying."
Fang Jing came to the impression that this girl was one of the team leaders of the studio. She was very capable and was among the first group of veterans who followed Gao Wei.
I heard Gao Wei say before that Wang Ying ran away from home and they met at an Internet cafe. Unexpectedly, they actually got along after a few years.
"It's really a good thing that a pig has taken advantage of. Why does Sister Ying, who is so pretty, fall in love with Gao Wei?"
"Except for being honest and kind-hearted, he has no other advantages." Wang Ying blushed and chuckled, "But I just want this good thing about him. Mr. Fang, can you come to our wedding?"
"Okay, no problem." Fang Jing put the backpack on the table and landed with a thud. "I'm really here at the right time today. I'll send you a year-end red envelope. Congratulations, double happiness."
Opening the zipper of the schoolbag, there are stacks of sealed red envelopes inside, some large and some small.
"There are many new artists joining the company this year, and you have worked hard. Send some red envelopes to show your appreciation. Let's go home and have a good New Year."
How much money can a red envelope hold? The maximum is 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Fang Jing is just trying to celebrate the occasion, and the year-end bonus is their big prize.
Behind every glamor, there is a group of invisible people who work silently, including article promotion, midnight public relations, and regular hot searches. This is what Gao Wei and others have been doing.
Every time he sang a song, every time he appeared on a show, every time he won an award, the people behind him would work on the manuscript all night long to help him promote it and gain popularity every once in a while.
After the red envelopes were dispersed, Fang Jing called Gao Wei to the office, and the two sat down to chat.
"Viagra, how is the village? Does your father know that you are getting married?"
"Concrete roads have been built in the village, many families have bought cars, and now many young people are working out. It is much better than before. I also informed my parents about my marriage, and they will come over in a few days."
"Didn't you bring your parents over to live with you? Uncle Gao and the others have worked hard all their lives, but they haven't enjoyed a few days of happiness."
Gao Wei smiled bitterly, "I picked it up, but I ran away again within a few days. I can't read bus stop signs, take the subway, and can't understand Mandarin. I get lost when I go to a shopping mall. Everything is expensive."
"The main reason is that I don't have any friends here, and the two elders can't get used to it. They said that I can go back more often during the New Year and holidays."
Fang nodded. It was true. The old man had been born and raised here and had not left the ten-mile radius of Huangling Village for decades. Most people would not be used to it if they came here.
"What about Gao Ying's parents? Have you solved it?"
"It wasn't settled originally, but my father-in-law didn't agree, so the 600,000 yuan gift was all settled."
"So expensive?"
"No, I don't even dare to tell my parents about this."
He took out cigarettes from his pocket, Fang Jing gave one to Gao Wei, lit one himself, and the two of them sat and smoked.
Although Gao Wei has made money in the past two years, after getting married like this, his balance is probably at the bottom.
"Originally, Yingzi didn't let me notify her parents. I just planned to set up a few tables after getting the certificate, but I feel that this is only one wedding in life, and it's not okay to be too hasty."
With a bitter smile on his lips, Gao Wei continued: "You may not believe it, but my father-in-law originally wanted me to give him one million, and Yingzi almost got into a fight with her father."
Fang Jing was surprised, "We are in love, even if you just get married without giving me a cent, my father-in-law can't say anything, right?"
"He wants to sue me, saying that I abducted and trafficked his daughter. If he doesn't tell me, he will cause trouble every day, including the company and the police station, until he gets the money."
Fang Jing has traveled extensively over the years and has gained a lot of experience, but this is the first time he has heard of this kind of thing. Having such a father-in-law is enough. What is the difference between this and selling his daughter?
Isn't it because of love that two people are together?
A few decades ago, material life was not as good as it is now, and the older generation has also come through.
"Do you regret finding your father-in-law?"
"Huh!" Gao Wei exhaled the smoke into his lungs, and said slowly: "A little bit, but I don't regret it too much. I don't want Yingzi to have no family members at the wedding."
Patting Gao Wei on the shoulder, Fang Jing grinned and said, "Don't worry, you've left your wedding to me. I will definitely help you make it a success. I won't let you embarrass our Huangling Village."
"At any rate, our Huangling duo are also well-known figures in this area."
"By the way, is there a best man? If not, I will nominate myself. I have never been a best man in my life, so I am happy."
…
On January 12, more than 30 Porsches roared past, with festive flowers on the fronts and the big "Happy" characters that could be seen from a distance.
At the traffic light at the intersection, the row of wedding cars attracted many repeat customers.
After seeing the people in the car, I kept snapping photos with my cell phone and almost surrounded them.
Fang Jing, Shen Hao, Zhang Mingen, Ying Haoming, and Xiao Zan were in straight suits, each driving a car. Sitting behind them were Yang Chaoyue, Li Yitong, Wang, Xiao Min, Yang Zi and others.
Gao Wei is the head of the publicity department. He holds 700 marketing accounts and can mobilize tens of millions of publicity funds every year. With a single order, whoever he wants to be on the hot search will be included. No one in the company wants to please him.
Even if Fang Jing doesn't invite them over this time, they will come on their own.
"Brother, you look so handsome!"
"That's right, you don't even know who I am."
Taking advantage of the traffic light, Fang Hui and Fang Jing took a photo together.
