"Honey, we're rich now!"
On the way back, Jiang Xia took out his phone and sent a text message to his wife.
Lin Yanwan was playing with the adorable little taro ball when she heard the text message notification. She picked up her phone from the table and glanced at it. The words "wife" and "our family" made her blush involuntarily.
"The first-run broadcast rights have been sold?"
"Yes, 4,000 per episode, and I signed a contract for 12 episodes in total. Tom and Jerry will be airing at the end of the month. Finally, you don't have to pay my June salary."
Jiang Xia was still quite excited as he typed these words. This trip to the TV station went even more smoothly than he had expected.
It's just that current mobile phones can't video chat, otherwise he would definitely share this moment of joy with his wife.
Lin Yanwan silently did the math. 48,000 yuan wasn't a huge sum, but if Tom and Jerry became a massive hit, the hidden profits would be far more than that.
"Congratulations, your three months of hard work have finally paid off."
"Baby deserves the most credit! You have no idea, the people at the TV station praised your voice-over to the skies!"
"And what about the reward?"
I'll give you a kiss when we get home!
"...Is this a reward for yourself?"
"I don't care, I just want to kiss you~ It proves that behind every successful man, there is a wonderful wife. Baby, I love you to death!"
Lin Yanwan really couldn't stand this guy. He's such a grown man, yet he still acts like a child.
Hmph, if she didn't know how to do voice acting, would he still say he loves her like that?
"Where are you now?"
"I'm in Aunt Li's car, I'll be back in a little while."
Have you eaten yet?
"Mmm, I've already eaten. Wait for me to come back, mua~mua~"
Li Weiya glanced at her side out of the corner of her eye and saw Jiang Xia with an uncontrollable smile on his face, frantically tapping on his phone.
Are you sharing the good news with your family?
"Hmm..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a second, then nodded gently.
As for a wife, she's family, of course. Even though we're not sleeping in the same bed yet, we slept together in our past lives, and we'll sleep together sooner or later in this life.
"Shanshan really gave birth to a good son," Li Weiya exclaimed.
She always thought her son was quite outstanding, but compared to Jiang Xia, he seemed to be far behind.
"Aunt Li, could you please not tell my parents about this yet?" he asked hesitantly.
Li Weiya was taken aback: "They don't know?"
"Hmm, I don't know."
"Then how did you create your cat and mouse stories?!"
"I just drew them secretly. If my mom found out that I was doing this while I was reviewing for the final exams, she would probably confiscate all my drawings long ago."
Li Weiya's face twitched violently. Listen to this, is this even human language? Using spare time to secretly make animations, and the quality is so good, and according to A Ming, Jiang Xia's grades have been improving.
Mom is so envious of her son.
He runs a company, makes animations, and still gets excellent grades. Is there anything he can't do?
After reporting to his wife, Jiang Xia opened the Qitian Animation Company's QQ group, thought carefully, edited a new message, and then clicked send.
[Jiang Xia]: The weather is nice today, and the company will finally not go bankrupt.
[Operations Director - Shen Ying]: ?
[Artist Wang Ming]: Let me translate. What Lao Jiang means is that the broadcasting rights have been successfully sold.
Upon seeing Wang Ming's reply, Shen Ying was so excited that she jumped up from her chair.
[Operations Director - Shen Ying]: Does that mean our animated series will soon be broadcast on television?
[Jiang Xia]: Yes. It will start airing on the children's channel of Chongqing TV on June 30th at 7 pm. However, I signed a contract for a total of 12 episodes, so we still need to produce episodes 11 and 12 as soon as possible this month.
[Jiang Xia]: Lao Wang, you need to be more efficient on your end. I'll get the storyboard for episode 12 as soon as possible. Shen Ying, starting today, you can gradually release the news and work with the TV station to create hype.
[Art Concept Artist - Wang Ming]: Okay, received.
[Operations Director - Shen Ying]: Received.
[Jiang Xia]: Thank you all for your hard work during this time. We'll hold a celebration party once Tom and Jerry successfully airs! Keep it up!
After arranging his recent work, Jiang Xia put down his phone and looked at the scenery along the way.
“Aunt Li, A-Ming’s workload may be a bit heavy lately. Could you help him out?” He turned to look at Li Weiya’s face.
"You call me 'son' every day, and now you want to exploit me? Your auntie even took the day off to be your driver for the whole day," Li Weiya joked.
"It's reassuring to have an auntie overseeing things. I was worried that Amin might neglect the quality of the original artwork in pursuit of efficiency."
Jiang Xia said seriously, "If Qitian Animation Company wants to build a good reputation, the quality of Tom and Jerry can only be good, not bad."
“That makes sense, but Amin is your employee, and I am not. However, you can outsource the project to me, so that you can legitimately ask me to work.”
Jiang Xia blinked: "Why outsource instead of hiring directly? If a professional like Auntie were to supervise the animation, Tom and Jerry would definitely become even better, right?"
Li Weiya chuckled: "You really dare to dream, Auntie is very expensive, you know. Besides, I'm doing just fine at my current company, why would I want to switch jobs? Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore. I'll keep an eye on A-Ming, don't worry."
