Xiang Nan subsequently purchased a store in Pudong New Area.
He thought that since he had money now, he might as well buy the store directly. This can be regarded as an investment and avoid being chased around by landlords.
After the store was purchased, the interior decoration began.
Of course you don’t ask anyone else for the design draft. Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Ruan Wan, and Zhu Xiaobei are enough. Zhang Kai is responsible for supervising the construction of the decoration company.
He has now resigned from the real estate agency and is the first employee to officially join the company.
In addition to purchasing a store, Xiang Nan also applied to register a studio and named it Youth Studio.
This is also the name of the studio co-founded by Zheng Wei, Xu Kaiyang, Zhang Zhang, Yu Hongbo and others in the play.
The reason for this name is that these people all met in their youth and have the most innocent, selfless and deepest friendship.
Second, everyone hopes for immortal youth. In choosing this name, I also hope that this studio can be as vibrant and positive as youth, and move forward in an indomitable way.
Xiang Nan got this name and was unanimously praised by Zheng Wei, Zhang Kai, Ruan Guan, Zhu Xiaobei and others, so it was officially established.
…
In April, the Youth Studio was officially established and began recruiting.
Xiang Nan hopes to recruit two interns and a qualified architect or construction engineer.
In this way, the studio is qualified and can accept more work.
Because free accommodation is provided, and the benefits and wages are good, the studio's recruitment is still very smooth.
In less than a month, everyone was in place and the studio was officially opened.
The first business deal was the "Embroidered Spring Knife" project brought in by Xiang Nan. The studio has to do scene design and art direction for it.
There was work as soon as it opened, and Zheng Wei, Ruan Guan, Zhu Xiaobei, and Zhang Kai immediately threw themselves into the hot work.
As the boss, Xiang Nan not only participated in the design, but was also responsible for ensuring logistics.
In terms of accommodation, he provided three houses as employee dormitories.
The two-bedroom house was given to Zhu Xiaobei and Ruan Guan. A house with three bedrooms and one living room was given to Zhang Zhang to live with two interns. As for a single room, it will be given to Daniel.
Housing prices in Shanghai have continued to rise, and rents have followed closely behind. To be honest, there are not many bosses like Xiang Nan who provide free accommodation.
But precisely because of this, employees are highly motivated. No one wants to be fired and spend thousands more on rent.
…
In June, Xiang Nan and others officially graduated from graduate school.
On the day of graduation, they took Xiang Nan's car directly to the studio. There was no need to hold a farewell party, and there was no need to be reluctant to leave.
"Oh, seeing them all having a farewell party and us having nothing, it feels like something is missing." Zhu Xiaobei said with a smile.
"We graduated together, so why do we have a farewell party?" Zheng smiled and said, "Besides, the farewell party is at the end and ends in tears every time, so what's the pity."
"What Xiaobei wants to say is that it lacks a sense of ceremony." Xiang Nan smiled while driving, "From today on, we are no longer students, but real social beings. The farewell banquet is not just about saying goodbye. My friend, I also bid farewell to my youthful student days."
"Azheng, you are smart and you hit the point as soon as you say it." Zhu Xiaobei clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Yes, that's what I think. We transition from students to social workers too fast. , I’m not even ready yet.”
"Actually, me too." Ruan Guan nodded.
"Well, let's have a banquet tonight, and the theme is called [To Youth]." Xiang Nan smiled, "Weiwei, invite Lao Zhang, father-in-law, Da Long, and Wei Juan. Everyone has been there for three years. Let’s get together.”
"Yeah, okay." Zheng Wei nodded.
…
That night, Xiang Nan booked a private room in the restaurant to entertain these friends.
"Azheng, you are getting better and better now. If you go to the theater to watch movies, all the big-selling movies are written by you." Gong Cheng said with a smile, "You studied architecture and you are not talented. You should become a screenwriter."
"Hey, that's just for making money, not worth mentioning." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't seen you for three years. How are you doing now?"
"It's okay. I'm still working as an insurance broker, and I've already started to make a name for myself." Gong Cheng said with a smile.
"Congratulations then." Xiang Nangong cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"By the way, Azheng, I know that you are quite famous in the film and television industry, and you know many celebrities and big names. Can you help your brothers with their work?" Gong Cheng smiled again.
"I'll ask for you." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Then I'd like to thank you first." Gong Cheng said gratefully.
"Dachong, what have you been doing these past few years?" Zheng Wei asked Zhou Dalong curiously.
"I post to Moments every day, and you don't even know it. You still want to ask me again?" Zhou Dalong said angrily.
"Oh, it's just because you post so frequently that it's like you're scrolling every day, so I blocked you." Zheng Wei explained awkwardly.
"Hate! I'm opening an online store now." Zhou Dalong later explained, "Help the villagers sell local products and lead everyone to get rich together!"
"Wow, that makes so much sense!" Zheng Wei heard this and clapped her hands with a smile.
…
"Juan'er, what are you doing now?" Zhu Xiaobei asked Li Weijuan curiously, "I see in your circle of friends, you are always partying, dancing, drinking, and having a great time."
"Of course, who am I!" Li Weijuan said proudly, "I am now a flower that is popular in the social circles of Shanghai. The entire Bund is filled with all the rich boys chasing me."
"Wow, that's amazing." Zhu Xiaobei exclaimed.
"By the way, what are you going to do after you graduate?" Li Weijuan also asked curiously.
"Oh, Azheng opened a studio and invited us to help." Zhu Xiaobei explained.
Li Weijuan heard that the studio was in Pudong New Area, with high wages and good benefits, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
Although she said she had joined the Xingchen Group, she was responsible for supervising work at the construction site, and it was very hard to be exposed to wind, sun and rain. And it's been three years, and I haven't been promoted yet, so I don't know how long I will stay at the construction site.
In comparison, the work of the design office is much better. You can sit in an office and work easily, and there are also dormitories and private rooms. This is much better than the basement she lives in now.
Xiang Nan is Xiang Nan, and he is generous when he takes action.
It's a pity that I didn't discover him back then. Otherwise, with his current net worth, he would have lived a life of food and clothing, feasting, and luxury.
There is no need to be like now, living here and there, courting Qin and Mu, just like a social butterfly.
"Weiwei, is your design studio still hiring? If you want, I can come over." Li Weijuan then smiled at Zheng.
"Okay." Zheng agreed with a smile.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Miss Li, if you want to come, it's not impossible. However, you can only start as an intern. I wonder if you are willing?"
"For the sake of friendship, why wouldn't you be happy?" Li Weijuan raised her wine glass and said proudly.
Seeing her say this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod.
