The New Year always goes by very quickly. After New Year's Eve, Yi Cheng didn't mention the marriage anymore. It was just that he seemed to have something hidden in his heart all day long, and he was not as happy as in the past New Year.
Wen Ju'an, on the other hand, was about to graduate from college. He had a lot of free time, so he came to see Sanli all the time. He played too late several times, so he simply slept at home and squeezed in with Sanli and Simei in the big hall. on the bed.
Whenever he had free time, he would go to Wang Zhong's side, euphemistically calling it asking for advice, and asking Wang Zhong to point out his knowledge, but in fact he had another purpose.
Wang Zhong would certainly not be stingy in giving advice to such a cute and beautiful girl like Wen Ju'an. Sanli was also a quiet person who loved reading, and was not as noisy as Simei. That's why she and Wen Ju'an got along so well. The two usually got along well. When I have nothing to do, I like to look for books on Wang Zhong's bookshelf, and then either read them directly in the study room, or go back to the bedroom to read them carefully.
Sometimes I like to sit nearby and watch Wang Zhong and Qiao Zuwang play chess. However, when the two play chess, Wang Zhong is always in control of his wisdom and is confident, while Qiao Zuwang is frowning, scratching his head and head, and finally giving up and admitting defeat, which is quite interesting.
Chess is not difficult at all, and both of them are talented people. After watching it a few times, they have almost learned the rules. In their spare time, the two of them often sit on the sofa and play chess. Sometimes they also play chess. I would play checkers and backgammon with Simei and Qiqi.
With the addition of Wen Ju'an, the family has become a bit more fun.
It's almost the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and Wen Ju'an is okay. This girl is in her third year of college this year, and her major is not like Sanli's. She has heavy coursework, but she has quite a lot of free time.
However, Simei and Qiqi were not so lucky. Simei entered the second year of high school, and her studies became increasingly heavy. Moreover, as the art exam was about to come, she could not slack off in professional courses. She got up every morning to practice Qigong, studied in school during the day, and followed at night. Studying as a vocal teacher, in order to become a big star like Teresa Teng in the future, Simei also changed her previous carefree attitude and became more and more diligent and serious. Every day, she works between three o'clock and one hour, and has a vocal teacher at school and at home.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, this girl Simei slept and lazed for a few days, so she could only work harder to catch up with the progress. Within a few days, this girl started complaining endlessly. Fortunately, she complained even though she complained , but he didn’t dare to slack off in his actions.
The publishing house is on the right track. Wen Qinghua is in command and all departments under his command are performing their duties. Wang Zhong's burden has gradually lightened. He only needs to be responsible for writing articles and final review of the manuscripts to be published every week. No need to keep an eye on everything like before.
The two magazines are divided into two, one is a series of various types, there are not many categories at present, but the quality is still high, especially "The Wizard of Nine Provinces" written by Wang Zhong himself, which is based on the mythical world of Shan Hai Jing. The plot is compact, the characters are full-bodied, the swordsman flies to the immortal, the clouds ride on the mist, and there are many mysterious Taoist methods and magical skills, attracting countless readers.
The magazine's ability to achieve such sales volume and develop to its current scale in such a short period of time is inseparable from Wang Zhong's works.
Moreover, the land of China, with tens of millions of people, has never lacked the kind of well-educated people with unrestrained imagination. Over the past decades in Hong Kong and Taiwan, martial arts has developed to its peak. Although there are successors like Mr. Huang Yi, think about it now. It is not easy to make great achievements in martial arts.
Wang Zhong's "The Wizard of Nine Provinces" is a masterpiece, and it can be regarded as opening a new door for countless authors.
The "New Youth" recently launched by the magazine has gradually opened up sales and become famous among college students and high school students in Jinling and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The content of "New Youth" is also diverse, but prose and poetry only occupy a small amount of space. The vast majority of the entire article is based on short stories. The types of stories are also diverse and varied, but there is only one thing: the story promotes The themes and ideas are all positive and uplifting, not gloomy or cruel in reality.
On January 20th, as the Lantern Festival passes, people go to work and go to school. The happy Spring Festival and leisurely holidays have passed. Intense study and busy work have returned to people's lives again.
Wang Zhong is naturally no exception.
Although the magazine is now gradually getting back on track, Ma Suqin is busy with work at the garment factory and has been away from home for ten and a half days. Sanli Simei and Qiqi are busy studying. Wang Zhong is really boring at home alone, so he might as well be at home. Writing articles and fishing in magazines.
The sky is clear and clear outside, and although the sunshine is not strong, it also brings a bit of warmth.
There was a knock on the door, and Wang Zhong said directly without raising his head: "Come in!"
"Editor-in-Chief, your cousin is here!" The person who knocked on the door was Wen Qinghua's Secret Skill, who was also Wang Zhong's secretary.
"Qiao Zuwang?" Wang Zhong was a little surprised, "Let him come in!"
"Okay editor-in-chief!"
Although Wang Zhong holds the position of editor-in-chief, Wen Qinghua is the one who is really in charge of things. When Wang Zhong is in the office on weekdays, Wen Qinghua has specifically told the people at the magazine not to go over and disturb him if there is nothing important to avoid disturbing him. The thoughts of their God of Wealth.
"Xiao Chong, what are you busy with?" Qiao Zuwang smiled shyly, holding a thermos cup, and there were two pear dimples on both sides of his cheeks.
Wang Zhong said: "I'm just working, what else can I be busy with? Why are you here?"
Qiao Zuwang sat down opposite Wang Zhong, looked around Wang Zhong's office, and said, "I am idle at home, come and see you!"
Wang Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at him sideways, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"
"Hey hey hey!" Qiao Zuwang was quite thick-skinned. Wang Zhong had not done anything to him since he was admitted to the university. Although he was still powerful, he still dared to joke with Wang Zhong occasionally.
"I'm just bored at home, aren't I? You have a wide range of skills and abilities. You have opened such a big magazine. I wonder if there is anything I can do, so please arrange a job for me!"
"Although I don't have any skills, I still know a few words. I was born and raised in Jinling, and I have a lot of connections. I can do things like purchasing office supplies and so on!"
Qiao Zuwang smiled and recommended himself.
Wang Zhong stopped what he was doing, folded his hands and placed them on the table, and looked directly at Qiao Zuwang: "Did you do your homework before coming here? It's not easy!"
"I'm not trying to help you and lighten your burden!" Qiao Zuwang said.
"I accept the kindness in my heart, but I don't care about the magazine. Tsinghua University is in charge. Besides, these things have regulations. They have been arranged and postponed a long time ago. We have also signed contracts with people. If they are fired for no reason, Yes, you still have to pay liquidated damages.”
"Purchasing is not an option. If you have any other options, that's fine!"
"Aren't those video halls in Niuye also invested in by you? I heard from Erqiang that Niuye is planning to convert the video hall into a movie theater recently and is looking for people to work for it!"
"Okay, okay, don't you just want to find a way to make money? Don't worry about this. I will show you two ways. You can choose!"
Qiao Zuwang's eyes suddenly lit up: "What kind of way?"
"The first one is that I open a bookstore and you help me manage it. I will give you a basic salary and a performance commission from sales every month."
"Open a bookstore?" Qiao Zuwang asked, "Can I make money by selling books?"
"Why should I open this magazine if I don't make money?" Qiao Zuwang was stunned by Wang Zhong's words and then realized what he was saying.
Wang Zhong himself is a book writer. If those who sell books don't make money, how can there be so many people who write books? How did such a big publishing house come about?
"Now the economic conditions are getting better and better, and ordinary people have money in their hands. Whether they are buying tutorial books for their children or buying them for themselves, they are willing to spend money. Do you think you can make money by selling books? "
Qiao Zuwang nodded, but he became more and more interested in the second way Wang Zhong mentioned: "What about the second one?"
"The second one!" Wang Zhong said: "Do you know where that house came from?"
"I know, I'm just following you to buy those watches and stuff." How could Qiao Zuwang not understand such a big thing as his son buying a house? He was still thinking about the little money left in Yi Cheng's hand.
"In recent years, more and more people from Xiangjiang have invested in and built factories in Shencheng to make fake products of big brands. Over there, they call these goods A-grade products. From the outside, they look similar to those from abroad and in Xiangjiang. The big brands are about the same, but the prices are several times cheaper. If you can afford it, go to Shencheng and buy those knockoffs and come back. Not to mention getting rich, but the profits will be enough to make your life comfortable."
Qiao Zuwang understood it, but he couldn't help but worry: "Isn't it illegal to do this?"
Although Qiao Zuwang is a bit of a bastard and a bit selfish, he is not without some good points. Although he obeys the law because he is timid, if he ignores his deeds and his heart, he is not bad at all.
"Illegal?" Wang Zhong smiled: "What are you thinking? Those Xiangjiang people went to Shenzhen to spend so much money to apply for a place and build a factory. If it is illegal, will the higher authorities allow them to build a factory?"
Qiao Zuwang was suddenly stunned, and a smile appeared on his face, but then he added: "But doing business requires capital, and the deep city is so far away. You don't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation when you go back and forth."
"I have also thought about this for you. They are also two plans!" Wang Zhong raised two fingers.
"What plan?" Qiao Zuwang asked impatiently.
"First, I can lend you the principal and give it to you for half a year. After half a year, if you make money, the money must be returned to me with interest!"
"What if we don't make any money?" Qiao Zuwang asked quickly.
Wang Zhong spread his hands and said with a smile: "You still have to pay back the money even if you don't make any money. If you don't have any money, it's easy. Don't Yicheng and Erqiang give you six hundred yuan every month? From now on, just give the money to me directly, and when our accounts are settled, we can ask them to give you the money."
"Wait a minute!" Qiao Zuwang raised his hand to interrupt Wang Zhong: "Did you just say that the capital will be paid with interest?"
Wang Zhong said matter-of-factly: "Yes, what I loaned you is just the principal, and of course interest will be charged."
"Didn't we say there were two plans? What about another one?" Qiao Zuwang asked.
Wang Zhong said: "There is another one. I will pay for it. You go and run, and I will pay you a salary. Whether it is profit or loss, it is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"Which one to choose?" Wang Zhong just looked at Qiao Zuwang, waiting for him to make a decision.
Qiao Zu's eyes were spinning wildly, he was caught in a tangle, and he couldn't make a decision. Choose the first one, and you have to bear the risk. If this business doesn't succeed, then his life will be difficult. .
If you choose the second one...
"If you haven't thought about it yet, just go back and think about it for a few days. Anyway, it won't take more than a day or two." Wang Zhong said.
"No need!" Qiao Zuwang's expression suddenly became firm.
"You figured it out so quickly?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"I've thought about it." Qiao Zuwang said, "I choose the second one!"
Looking at Qiao Zuwang, whose expression on the other side gradually became firmer, Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "Once you have made your choice, you can go back and wait for the notification."
Qiao Zuwang said, "Just go back and wait?"
"Then what do you want?" Wang Zhong said.
Qiao Zuwang said: "You didn't tell me where I should go or who I should look for when I go to Shencheng. If I go there, my eyes will be black!"
"Of course I can't let you go there alone!" Wang Zhong said: "I met a few local people when I led Yi Cheng to carry things. They have connections in this field. I will take you there first to get to know the familiar people. , figured out the way, opened up the joints, and then you can go alone again."
"That's good! That's good!" A smile appeared on Qiao Zuwang's face again.
Wang Zhong said: "If nothing happens, you can leave. Don't delay our work here!"
"Yes!" Although he was driven away, Qiao Zuwang didn't feel unhappy at all. Don't say that Wang Zhong just drove him away. Even if he beat him up with a stick, Qiao Zuwang would still squeeze out. Greet everyone with a smile.
"I'm going back to play chess without disturbing your work!"
Qiao Zuwang left happily, in a good mood. The smile on his face almost never broke all the way out of the magazine, as if he had picked up money.
Looking at Qiao Zuwang's leaving figure, Wang Zhong shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Some people are destined not to get rich. There are great opportunities to make money in front of them, but they don't even dare to take any risks. This kind of courage Sex, even if you give him a chance, it will be useless.
In this life, you can only earn a little money. If you want to be rich, you can't even climb a tree.
The TV station has already started work. The New Year has just passed. Yicheng and Song Qingyuan have agreed a few years ago that they will do a special report after the New Year. For this reason, the two of them fell into a tense busy schedule just after the New Year. , except for the Lantern Festival, Yi Cheng was basically either on stage or interviewing outside with Song Qingyuan.
That day, Yicheng and Song Qingyuan returned to the station from interviews outside. They put away the equipment and sorted out the corresponding manuscripts. When they got off work, they walked out of the TV building side by side.
From a distance, I could see Ye Xiaolang's dark-colored and somewhat nervous looking privately on the curb directly opposite the gate, as if he was looking for something.
