After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lu was lost in thought, pondering what Jiang Xia had just told her.
As an employee of the television station, she was well aware that domestic viewership was declining year by year, and with the rapid pace of development and the widespread use of computers, this was an established fact.
The future, as Jiang Xia said, may belong to the era of mobile internet, where people can access the internet anytime, anywhere with just a mobile phone, freed from the limitations of fixed time slots and program types on television. Instead of television sets filtering viewers, viewers will choose the programs they want to watch.
At that time, the status of television stations will also decline sharply.
Zhou Lu sighed softly, thinking that these next two years might very well be the last glorious chapter for television sets.
As an ordinary citizen with no connections, she could likely work at the TV station until retirement and only reach the position of editor-in-chief, with the station director above her.
Although the treatment is quite good compared to ordinary people, it's still just good; the salary is fixed and the daily work is unchanging.
What if she could live a better life than she already has?
◇
At the same time, Jiang Xia pushed open the door to Li Weiya's office.
"Godmother, guess who called me just now?" He smiled.
"Partners?" Li Weiya didn't even look up; she was still optimizing the development plan Jiang Xia had given her.
"Yudu TV Station, Zhou Lu, Editor-in-Chief Zhou."
Li Weiya was slightly surprised: "Why did she call? Could it be that the TV station is jealous because it saw the huge traffic that D-site gained after it went online?"
"As expected of my godmother, nothing escapes your notice." Jiang Xia chuckled. "Godmother, are you currently troubled by the personnel composition of D Station? I can recommend someone to you, but whether it will be successful in the end depends on you, godmother."
"who?"
"Zhou Lu".
Upon hearing this, Li Weiya's expression turned strange. This guy is addicted to poaching people, isn't he? First, he successfully tricked her into working here, and now he's set his sights on Zhou Lu. Zhou Lu is doing well at the TV station and even got a promotion and a raise during the New Year. Isn't it a bit much to try and poach her?
"That's unrealistic, isn't it?"
"That's why I said that whether we succeed or not ultimately depends on whether Godmother can persuade her. Editor Zhou is very capable, and her experience working in the TV station is a perfect fit for D-site's business model. If she were to serve as D-site's operations director, not only would her expertise be relevant, but it would also reduce your pressure. She is the most suitable candidate," Jiang Xia said.
Li Weiya nodded, then hesitated and said, "That's true, but you still need her consent, right? Would Zhou Lu give up a perfectly good, stable job to work for you?"
"It's hard to say. If the godmother is the one to negotiate, I think there's a good chance."
Jiang Xia shrugged and continued, "When I was on the phone with Editor Zhou just now, I said that it won't be long before the TV station declines, and traditional TV channels will be impacted by mobile networks. The future prospects are not good. Rather than earning a mediocre salary and living a life of mediocrity in a sunset industry, it's better to give it another shot and maybe shine like the sun."
Li Weiya chuckled to herself. This guy was giving others pep talks again. The key point was that he was now a successful young and promising boss, so people had to take his words seriously.
Once the seed of wanting to change jobs is planted, it will take root and sprout in a short time; it just depends on when to put it into practice.
"In that case, I'll try to talk to her when I have some free time and see what she thinks," Li Weiya said after thinking for a moment.
She and Zhou Lu have a good relationship in private. They exchanged New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival and chatted occasionally, although it was mostly about business.
“Okay, if Editor Zhou agrees, then ask her to come to the capital as soon as possible to build a team. As for the salary, Godmother can decide for herself. She can increase it a little bit.” Jiang Xia said.
After all, if Zhou Lu can hold up half the sky of D Station, it will definitely be a profitable deal. In two or three years, when they can benefit from the development of 3G and 4G, they will quickly become a unicorn company in the video industry. So what if they are paid a high salary at the beginning?
"OK."
Li Weiya nodded: "I heard from Yan Wan that Tsinghua University is about to start its semester?"
"Hmm...it'll be soon, in about a week."
"Oh, anyway, you guys should go to school as usual. I'll keep an eye on things at the company. Try not to take leave."
"Yes, thank you, godmother."
After get off work, Jiang Xia took his wife to the supermarket to buy groceries, planning to cook a simple meal of two dishes and a soup, much like the peaceful life they had after getting married in their previous life.
As they passed the check-in counter, Jiang Xia glanced at the Okamoto 003 displayed prominently and whispered in Lin Yanwan's ear, "Baby, have we run out of our little umbrellas?"
Lin Yanwan's face quickly turned red. How could this guy say this to her in public? Shameless!
She glanced at the people in line next to her out of the corner of her eye and said shyly, "I don't need it, how would I know?"
"Last night was the last one; we really ran out." Jiang Xia blinked. "Honey, do you want to buy some?"
"Don't ask me, whoever uses it buys it!"
Lin Yanwan glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed. Did he really have to ask her about something like this? What if she got pregnant without a condom? Would she still be able to study? How could she face her parents if she was pregnant out of wedlock?
Considering how often the two of them used them, sometimes three or four in one night, the four boxes of small umbrellas that their parents had "sponsored" were used up in just over a week.
Looking back now, it's definitely better to be young.
"oh……"
So Jiang Xia looked at the people next to him and decisively took four, five, six, seven or eight boxes, ten in each box, which should be enough for a month.
Seeing this, Lin Yanwan's face flushed, and she decisively distanced herself from him, refusing to admit that she had a relationship with him.
When it came time to pay the bill, Jiang Xia casually pulled out eight boxes of Okamoto 001 cigarettes from his pocket, leaving many people, including the cashier, stunned.
This young man's demand is a bit high, is he here to buy supplies from the supermarket?
The cashier scanned the QR codes one by one: "Want to come together?"
Jiang Xia: "Together."
Lin Yanwan: "I don't know him."
They both spoke at the same time.
The cashier was taken aback.
Jiang Xia scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh, I meant all eight boxes together."
Lin Yanwan paid the bill and quickly grabbed her shopping bags and slipped away. Staying with him any longer would have been so awkward that she could have dug a two-bedroom apartment out of her toes.
Seeing the pretty girl flee in panic, the cashier smiled gently. She could tell at a glance that the young couple was just shy about buying a small umbrella. She had seen this kind of thing countless times.
Meanwhile, Li Weiya sat in her office, dialing Zhou Lu's number alone...
