After get off work, Yang Chen, Yang Zixi and Lin Xia left the company together.

Under Yang Zixi's warm invitation, both Yang Chen and Lin Xia agreed to go drinking with her.

"Xiao Xi, there's something wrong with you today. Tell me, why did you suddenly invite us to dinner? Do you have something to ask of me?" Lin Xia joked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Don't be sentimental, okay? I mainly want to ask Yang to take the photo and thank him for helping me deal with the aftermath. You are just passing by." Naturally, Yang Zixi couldn't tell her the real reason, so she made up a random excuse to excuse her.

"Really? Huh, since you are so insincere, then I don't care about it..."

"No, I'm bored alone, so just keep me company."

Lin Xia pretended to leave, but Yang Zixi quickly held her back.

The assignment stated that at least two colleagues should be invited to drink, no less than one would be acceptable.

Naturally, Yang Zixi couldn't let her go.

"I heard that a new Hunan restaurant opened on XX Road. It tastes pretty good. How about we go and try it?"

"Okay, since you are so pitiful, I will give you some face." Lin Xia said.

"Yang Photography, what do you think?" Yang Chenxi looked at Yang Chen again.

"It's up to you to decide as you please. Also, it's off work now, so just call me by my name." Yang Chen said.

"No problem, Lao Yang." Lin Xia said.

While they were talking, the three of them had already come out of the building.

"You guys wait here, I'll bring the car over." Yang Chen said to them.

"Lao Yang, you drove here. It couldn't be an electric car, right?" Lin Xia smiled, looking familiar.

"Don't worry, it's a four-wheeled one. It'll be fine to bring you two along."

Yang Chen smiled and quickly drove the car over.

"I can't tell. I didn't expect you, Lao Yang, to be a hidden rich second generation?"

Lin Xia and Yang Zixi were slightly surprised when they saw the BMW that Yang Chen drove over, but they were not very surprised.

There are too many rich people in the capital, and there are even more people who can afford to drive good cars. It's not surprising.

With that said, the two opened the car door and got in.

"Why is it the second generation of rich people? Can't I make the money to buy it myself?" Yang Chen said.

"This car costs three to four hundred thousand. Judging from your appearance, you must have graduated a few years ago, right?" Lin Xia looked at him.

"Ha, you guessed wrong this time. I really bought this car with my own money." Yang Chen said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't cost that much. If you pay in installments, you can get it with 100,000."

"One hundred thousand is not a lot, does a photographer make that much money?" Yang Zixi said.

"It's not bad. The salary is not much. I mainly make money by taking on private jobs outside." Yang Chen said casually.

"That's true. I heard that the former photography director of our company earned more than 8,000 yuan a month in the company. He took private jobs outside and could earn at least tens of thousands a month, and as much as 30,000 or 40,000 yuan," Lin Xia said.

"I heard that it was because the salary was not high that I quit my job, rented a studio outside, and opened my own photography studio." Yang Zixi also said.

"How old is that old Dong?" Yang Chen asked.

"Early thirty." Lin Xia said.

"I'm in my early thirties. I've been working as a photographer for at least seven or eight years, right? It took me seven or eight years to become like this, so he can't do it. When I was in school, I could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month by doing private work outside." Yang Chen Of course it was just random talk, and they couldn't possibly investigate it anyway.

"So awesome, then why did you come to our company?" Lin Xia asked in surprise.

Yang Zixi also looked curious.

"It's a long story, and it's hard to explain in one sentence. We'll talk about it when it's over," Yang Chen said.

"Tch, you're still trying to keep it from us. You want to talk or not, but we don't want to hear it." Lin Xia said, "Tch."

"hehe……"

Yang Chen smiled and didn't answer.

"Hehehehe, Xiao Xi, something is wrong with you. Why did you suddenly invite us to drink? Do you think you have fallen in love with handsome guy Yang? Should you recruit him for real?" Lin Xia laughed strangely and whispered to Yang Zixi again.

"Are you bored?" Yang Zixi said angrily.

"Although I very much hope that you can get back together with Lao Wu, if you want to pursue handsome boy Yang, I have no objection. At least it is more pleasing to the eye compared to his sub-health." Lin Xia said to herself.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. You should worry about yourself." Yang Zixi rolled her eyes at her.

"I have nothing to worry about. I have already calculated it. Our madman and I are a perfect match, and we will definitely be together in this life. Do you know what a perfect match is? It means that heaven has already destined us to be a couple. , so there is no need to worry. When the time comes, the madman will naturally come back to me." Lin Xia's main focus is horoscope divination, and he has no doubt about it.

"hehe……"

Yang Zixi replied "Haha", not even bothering to express her opinion.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Hunan restaurant.

The three of them found a seat and sat down. After ordering, Yang Zixi ordered two bottles of beer and a bottle of juice.

"Lin Xia can't drink, just drink one glass." Yang Zixi explained.

"Who said that, actually I can still drink a little!" Lin Xia gestured with her fingers.

"Then you should drink less." Yang Zixi poured her half a glass.

"hey-hey……"

Lin Xia laughed while holding the wine glass, but did not take a sip directly. She was very aware of her drinking capacity.

"By the way, you haven't said why you came to our company yet?"

"How should I put it? When I was in school, I was doing pretty well. At least I had a small network of connections in the Shenzhen city. I could earn tens of thousands of yuan a month with little talk. After graduation, I worked in a After a friend’s introduction, I joined a private TV station as an intern cameraman. Although I didn’t make much money at the TV station, I could learn a lot, get in touch with a wider range of people, and accumulate a lot of contacts, which would be very helpful for my future development. It's good." Yang Chen picked up the wine glass and touched them lightly, and said calmly.

"What happened later? Why didn't you do it anymore?" Lin Xia asked as she picked up the juice and drank it.

"Don't be impatient. I heard that I'll tell you slowly. I've been working at the TV station for almost half a year, and my boss finally plans to make me a regular employee. But before I become a regular employee, I have to go on another outdoor shooting mission, which is for assessment. If this mission If you want to be able to do a good job, you will definitely need to become a full-time employee. But during this mission...something happened!" Yang Chen paused deliberately to whet their appetites.

"What happened?" Lin Xia asked immediately.

"That mission was a program planned by the TV station. The filming location was on a desert island in the Java Sea. The group behind the TV station wanted to develop the desert island. In order to publicize the matter and warm up before the development, the leader An idea came to mind. They specially selected eight young adventurers from various countries in Southeast Asia and invited them to the island to participate in a wild survival competition. The winner will receive a very generous bonus. It is actually a show. This The idea was originally a good one. If it goes well, it can indeed play a very good role in promoting the island. But what the group leaders never expected was that something happened during this event..." Yang Chen was halfway through. , stopped abruptly.

"What happened? Tell me quickly?" Lin Xia asked urgently.

"Sorry, what happened on the island is a secret. I signed a confidentiality agreement with the group. If I leak out what happened on the island without authorization, I will have to pay a lot of money for violating the treaty!" Yang Chen said.

"Don't hold back, just tell me quickly. There are no outsiders here anyway, and we promise not to leak it out," Lin Xia said.

"Yes, we will definitely help you keep it secret." Yang Zixi also promised.

People have a strange resistance. The less you want them to know something, the more they want to know.

"Really? Can you promise not to tell others?" Yang Chen said.

"Really, we promise not to tell anyone else." The two nodded in succession and vowed.

"I can do it too!" Yang Chen smiled.

"you……"

Lin Xia and Yang Zixi were scratching their heads with curiosity, wishing they could open his head and find out the news directly from inside.

"Hmph, I think you made all this up yourself, right? Otherwise, why didn't you dare to say it?" Yang Zixi saw that asking couldn't help, so she resorted to provocation.

"Haha, it's useless for you to provoke me. I signed a confidentiality agreement and can't tell anyone else. But I can tell you that a very exciting and quite strange thing did happen on the island. After that, the group All the news was blocked, and the project development plan was announced to be suspended. You know, in order to develop that island, the group had invested a lot of money in the early stage. As a result, the initial investment was wasted because of that incident. If you look carefully If you do, you should be able to find some promotional materials for the island survival competition on the Internet, but you can’t find anything about the results and specific process of the competition." Yang Chen said with a mysterious face.

"Can't you really say it?"

Yang Zixi and Lin Xia looked at each other, still unwilling to give up.

"I really can't say it, so don't ask. It was because of that incident that I left the TV station. Originally, I wanted to use the TV station as a springboard, and after accumulating some contacts, I would switch careers to be a film and television cameraman before I was thirty. Then I'll hang out for a few more years, trying to become a director before I'm thirty-five, and pick up a few female stars. Alas, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The plan was originally going well, but now it's all messed up, so I have no choice but to leave the South. , come to the north of the capital." Yang Chen pretended to be melancholy and sighed.

"Haha, your ambition is not small, you even date female celebrities." Yang Zixi snorted, obviously still angry.

"Why not? My photography skills are not bad, right? The company's former photographer, Mr. Dong, worked for seven or eight years, and his photography skills are not as high as mine now. With my level, I can learn to work in a TV station for three or four years. , accumulate some connections, and it shouldn’t be difficult to switch to being a photographer for film and television dramas. If you are good at photography, you will be a director. There are many people who have switched from photography to directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Du Kefeng, and Gu Changwei, all of whom were originally photographers. As a director, it's natural to have a few female stars, right?" Yang Chen asked rhetorically. "You can admire my abilities, but you can't laugh at my dreams."

"Comrade Lao Yang has great ambitions, but what does this have to do with you coming to our company to take photos?" Lin Xia said.

"I have no choice. I just arrived in Beijing and am unfamiliar with the place, so I can only start from scratch. The first step is of course to enter the photography industry and let people in the circle know that such people exist. Then slowly accumulate contacts and look for opportunities. . If it really doesn’t work, invest your own money and make two short films to test the waters. If everything goes well, you can get there in one step!" Yang Chen said.

Yang Zixi and Lin Xia looked at each other.

His idea seemed wild and unconstrained, but he couldn't find any big problems. At least it was theoretically feasible.

"Come, let's drink to Comrade Yang's great dream!" Lin Xia picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Yang Chen.

Yang Zixi also raised her wine glass and advised: "Lin Xia, drink less!"

"It's okay, I'll just take a sip!" Lin Xia took a sip and put down the glass.

Jingle bell bell bell bell…

At this moment, Lin Xia's cell phone rang.

"my mother!"

Lin Xia took a look and then answered the phone.

"Xia Xia, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?" Lin Xia's mother's voice came from the mobile phone.

"Mom, my colleagues and I are eating out," Lin Xia said.

"Colleagues, are they male or female? How old are they? Are they single..." Lin Xia's mother asked in rapid succession.

"Mom, are you checking the household registration? I've told you that there are only women in our company, not a single man. I know you want me to get married as soon as possible, but you can't just marry anyone. "Lin Xia rolled her eyes and took her cell phone aside to answer the call.

"That's not what Mom means. Mom just wants you to see if there are any young men of the right age among your colleagues who you can have more contact with. If nothing happens, bring them back and let us take a look..." Lin can still be heard on the phone. Xia's mother's voice.

Only Yang Chen and Yang Zixi were left in the booth.

Yang Chen glanced at her, his heart moved, and he transferred the money directly.

“Ding dong~~~”

The text message tone sounded.

Yang Zixi quickly took out her phone and took a look.

"Your bank card ending in ****... transferred 160,000 yuan, and the current account balance is 314,375 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]"

The money has arrived.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yang Zixi's face.

In just two days, she earned more than 300,000 yuan by completing tasks.

Just do one more task and you can open the flower shop!

Now she is only one step away from her dream.

"What are you so happy about?" Yang Chen asked.

"It's nothing, I just saw a joke." Yang Zixi responded, immediately changed the subject, picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, I wish Director Yang an early success and find a female star!"

"Thanks."

Yang Chen raised his wine glass and at the same time put his left hand under the table. He turned his palm and a Samsung mobile phone immediately appeared in his hand.

Then he directly pressed the send button and sent the text message he had already edited.

Then an idea occurred to me and I put my phone into the golden space.

The whole process took just over a second, and Yang Zixi on the other side didn't notice anything unusual.

"Ding dong~~"

The text message tone sounded.

Yang Zixi immediately put down her wine glass, opened the text message and took a look.
