Zhou Hanzhi was not asking us, but he was clearly giving us orders.
The reason why he made this decision was just because Lin Xixi liked Xiaoyao Ke.
To be honest, in the field of original painters, there are probably not many people who don’t like Qashqai. His realistic painting style, unique style, and bright colors make him an unparalleled presence in the circle, not to mention that many people, Still hand drawn.
Not to mention putting the painter to the test.
But capable people usually have weird tempers, so Xiaoyaoke never appeared in any interviews or appeared in front of the media from beginning to end.
The identity is quite mysterious.
"Manager Meng," Zhou Hanzhi said normally, not wanting to listen to my explanation, "If it's something that can be easily done, why should I mention it to you?"
As expected, it was impossible to change his mind.
On the other hand, Lin Xixi said considerately: "Senior, what Sister Nanxu said actually makes sense. It is indeed difficult to hire an original animator of Xiaoyaoke's level. Although I like him very much, I don't want Sister Nanxu to do it." I’m in trouble with Mr. Wu.”
When she said this, her beautiful big eyes flashed, and she had an indescribable sense of innocence.
Upon seeing this, Wu Ling responded: "Manager Lin is very attentive and considerate. Not to mention that no one has seen the true face of this Xiaoyaoke, we can't afford to hire him at his level."
Wu Ling always considers problems realistically and directly.
A few years ago, one of Xiaoyaoke's original paintings had already sold for six figures. In the past two years, he has cooperated with film and television companies several times and created many famous posters, and his popularity has increased even more.
"It doesn't matter, money is not an issue," Zhou Hanzhi responded simply, his gentle eyes fell on Lin Xixi's face and said, "Just invite people here."
"Senior..." Lin Xixi lowered her head shyly when she heard this, and said shyly: "If you say that, I don't even know what to say."
"Then just look at the performance of Manager Meng and Mr. Wu," Zhou Hanzhi stood up and said decisively, "I believe you two will not let Zhou down, eh?"
After leaving these words, he led Lin Xixi away, leaving Wu Ling and I staring at each other.
We left Rongyu Group dejectedly.
This meal was really thrilling.
Neither Wu Ling nor I expected that Zhou Hanzhi would pose such a big problem to us.
Coincidentally, I heard that another well-known software development company that Stack gave his business card to at the dinner yesterday had also asked someone to make an appointment with Xiaoyaoke not long ago, but their agent directly came and said that the work has been arranged until early summer next year. I was put off.
How can we chew on such a hard bone?
"Don't you understand yet?" Wu Ling squeezed the steering wheel and said angrily: "Zhou Hanzhi, an old fox, probably knew our path early in the morning, but he couldn't let us suppress Lin Xixi, so he deliberately gave us a chance. There’s a problem.”
picture.
"And don't forget, last time Tangtang attacked Lin Xixi in person," Wu Ling mentioned the past, sighed, and said, "If Xiaoyaoke really comes, how will she handle herself?"
I didn't think much about this. With Tangtang's bad temper, I was afraid I couldn't swallow it.
Wu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "This Lin Xi, we really underestimated her."
I looked at Wu Ling doubtfully, and after a brief thought, I said in disbelief: "You mean, Lin Xixi deliberately mentioned Xiaoyaoke to Zhou Hanzhi?"
"if not?"
I'm a little surprised. If Wu Ling's guess is true, then the company may not have peace for a while.
As smart as Zhou Hanzhi, it was impossible for him not to notice Lin Xixi's little thoughts.
But the decision was also made by him.
He was really protective of her.
Let’s just say that we are cooperating with Xiaoyaoke. If we are lucky enough to find him and reach cooperation, it will only be because we have done our duty. If we cannot complete the task, I’m afraid this matter is not over yet.
"Killing three birds with one stone," Wu Ling sneered and said, "Nan Xu, we are really in big trouble this time."
Not to mention whether Wu Ling's analysis is accurate, one thing is understandable - if we can't find Qiao Yaoke himself, we will be left without food.
After discussing it with Wu Ling, we decided to split up into two groups. She was responsible for negotiating with Tangtang. After all, the little girl had also put a lot of effort into drawing the protagonist's image. I rejected it all at once, I'm afraid she would not be able to accept it for a while.
I, on the other hand, was responsible for checking with Xiaoyaoke's agent to see if I could meet with this legendary original painting boss.
Being able to meet Xiaoyaoke himself is half the battle.
But for a small game company like ours, I'm afraid we won't be able to get into the eyes of Xiaoyaoke at all.
too difficult.
One day later, I successfully obtained the contact information of Xiaoyaoke's agent through friends in the circle and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.
He is an eloquent middle-aged man in his thirties named Huo Tianlei.
The meeting place was arranged at the art studio he founded.
He was quite polite himself. When he heard about my intention, he didn't show any arrogance. He just handed me a form and said, "If you don't mind, Manager Meng, you can fill out a cooperation intention form."
This is also the first time I've seen it.
But Xiaoyaoke is a big boss, so it’s normal to do some tricks.
There is just one item in the table that is quite interesting - the original reason for cooperating with me.
Huo Tianlei explained, "Everyone knows Xiaoyaoke's temper, so Manager Meng can just write about it casually."
Of course I can't write casually.
Xiaoyaoke's coffee table is there, and this form is undoubtedly a difficult question he asked from his partner. If I guessed correctly, Huo Tianlei will definitely hand the form to Xiaoyaoke after I leave.
It's a written test.
I thought for a moment and wrote down my true purpose - a matter of life and death.
Huo Tianlei was slightly surprised when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Manager Meng is actually more humorous than expected."
"Mr. Huo, I'm not kidding." I squeezed my wristband and said sincerely, "Our project is indispensable for Xiaoyaoke."
After all, if the task is not completed, the initiative of the project will be transferred, and there is no way I will let this happen.
After the meeting, I went downstairs worried, and a moment later my phone rang.
It's Xiaoya's phone number.
"Sister Nanxu, please come back quickly," Xiaoya's panicked tone came from the receiver, "Tangtang heard somewhere that Manager Lin was going to find a new original animator to replace her, and wanted to settle a score with her. Woolen cloth."
My heart beat like thunder and I asked, "Where are they now?"
"Manager Lin said he wanted to have afternoon tea, and Tangtang came to find her." Xiaoya told the truth, "But I didn't tell her the location of Manager Lin. Sister Nan Xu, Mr. Wu is out. Only you can persuade Tangtang." ”
I was one and the other big, so I called Tangtang immediately after hanging up the phone, but her phone was always busy.
I stepped on the accelerator and rushed directly to Lin Xixi's favorite coffee shop.
As I expected, both Lin Xixi and Tangtang were there.
The atmosphere between the two was obviously tense.
Just when I was about to step forward to reconcile, Tangtang directly raised the mug in front of her and poured it over Lin Xixi.
"I called you Manager Lin to save your face. Who are you pretending to be here?"
Tangtang's face turned red and she was obviously angry.
I quickly stepped forward and asked the waiter to bring me dinner paper and said, "Tangtang, apologize to Manager Lin quickly."
Tangtang didn't expect me to come either. She curled her fingers and said stubbornly: "She was the one who provoked me first. I was right."
I looked at Lin Xixi in surprise, and saw her lowered eyebrows and aggrieved expression. Coupled with the coffee stain on her chest, she didn't look like the initiator.
"Tangtang, I am also thinking about the project," Lin Xixi said in a low voice, "Sister Nan Xu also agrees with this matter, you... you are really going a bit too far."
Tangtang's eyes widened, she pointed at Lin Xixi and said, "Don't think that I don't know, you are the one behind it!"
Two lines of tears welled up from Lin Xixi's eyes. She looked at me aggrievedly and said, "Sister Nanxu, you heard everything."
I was just about to respond when a scolding voice suddenly interrupted: "What are you doing?"
I looked back and saw Zhou Hanzhi and Zeng Zhi standing at the door.
No, why would he suddenly appear here at this time?
