"Brother Su, our dorm is having a get-together tonight, and I... I'd like to invite you to join us, is that alright?"
During work, Qiu Ting took the opportunity of delivering materials to the Slam Dunk project team next door to sneak over to Su Qing's workstation and whispered a question.
After two years of hard work, she has now been promoted from production assistant to executive producer, mainly responsible for overall planning of projects, assisting producers in developing work plans, controlling project progress, and handling emergencies.
To put it more bluntly, she is now roughly Li Weiya's assistant, but there are some differences.
It is worth mentioning that after two years of experience, Qiu Ting's social anxiety has improved a lot. She is no longer as nervous and shy as she was at the beginning, and she no longer lowers her head when talking to strangers.
Su Qing's drawing skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. He officially transitioned from the second key animator to a single-episode actor this summer. The latest episodes of Slam Dunk were all drawn by him.
"Of course, I'll definitely be there on time." Su Qing looked up at her and smiled.
Qiu Ting's face lit up with joy: "Then I'll wait for you after get off work!"
"good."
After get off work, Qiu Ting waited at the entrance of the Slam Dunk project team's office with her bag slung over her shoulder. Occasionally, passing colleagues would tease her, "Qiu Ting, are you waiting for your Brother Su to get off work again?"
She would blush instantly, but after thinking about it, she decided not to deny it. After all, the two of them had gotten used to going back to school together after get off work every day, and even if Su Qing sometimes worked overtime, she would wait for him silently.
Habits are a terrible thing.
A few minutes later, Su Qing turned off her computer, tidied up her workstation, and went outside to see Qiu Ting waiting for her as always.
His calm mood immediately improved.
"Let's go," Su Qing said with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
Where is it?
"Same old place, all-you-can-eat barbecue."
Qiu Ting thought about it carefully and realized that Su Dage hadn't gone to the barbecue restaurant before, so she continued, "The location isn't far from the company; it's right next to the Xiwangzhuang Commercial Street."
She stuck out her tongue sheepishly: "I can only get full when I eat at a buffet."
Su Qing couldn't help but smile.
◇
Barbecue restaurant.
Jiang Xia parked the car near the store, and the two walked into the store hand in hand, where they saw that the newly popular UP masters with 500,000 followers, Si Si and Cui Jiaying, were already waiting.
"Boss, boss lady, we're here, we're here~" Cui Jiaying stood up in the corner against the wall and waved to the two of them.
Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan walked over and sat down with smiles on their faces. Cui Jiaying looked behind them and asked blankly, "Where's Qiu Ting? Why didn't she come? Is she still working overtime?"
"She's not coming alone today, so I didn't want to bother her. She'll probably be here in a bit," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
When he and his wife left the company, they wanted to ask Qiu Ting to come along, but when they saw her waiting for Su Qing at the door, they had no choice but to leave quietly.
Cui Jiaying suddenly realized: "Is the handsome Su coming?"
The couple nodded with smiles.
"Boss, let me tell you, you wouldn't believe it, but every day after get off work, it's that handsome Su who walks Qiu Ting back to her dorm. I've seen it so many times. I think those two are definitely... are..."
Cui Jiaying was only halfway through her sentence when she looked up at Qiu Ting and Su Qing who were walking over. She pursed her lips and forcibly swallowed the rest of her sentence.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
Qiu Ting blushed and gently fanned herself with her hand as she sat down facing Su Qing.
"I know, you were waiting specifically for handsome Su, right? Hehe, that's forgivable~" Cui Jiaying winked at everyone, with a knowing look on her face.
Su Qing smiled faintly, not taking it to heart, while Qiu Ting blushed deeply.
Plates of meat wrapped in plastic wrap were placed on the grill and roasted. The group opened different flavored drinks and, as is customary, toasted each other to celebrate their friendship growing another year older.
"Sisi, Jiaying, did you two not go back home this summer?" Lin Yanwan asked, placing a piece of grilled steak into Jiang Xia's bowl.
“Yes.” Si Si nodded and said, “Going home is no fun, so why not make a couple more videos?”
As two of the few top content creators on D-site, they have already benefited from the mobile internet era. With the increasing popularity of smartphones in the market, the data for each of their video updates is much higher than before.
Moreover, manufacturers occasionally approach them to place advertisements, and their monthly income has far exceeded their combined salaries at the beginning.
Most importantly, they are now living more freely, without having to worry about life, studies, or work. They have hundreds of thousands of followers, and every video and every update they post receives countless likes and comments. If they had to sum up their current situation in one word, it would be "internet celebrity."
"Let me interview you two. As content creators with 540,000 followers on D-site, how are you feeling now? I wasn't lying to you back then, was I?" Jiang Xia took a bite of steak, swallowed it, and asked with a smile.
Cui Jiaying nodded frantically: "It feels great, thank you boss for giving us this opportunity."
Si Si also joked, "It's just a pity that I can't record the process of having dinner with the boss today and make it into a video. I feel like I missed an opportunity to get over ten million views."
Jiang Xia chuckled and said, "That's definitely not going to work."
He is now paying more and more attention to his personal privacy. Sometimes, if some of his private remarks are maliciously edited and posted online, it may cause some problems.
