Chapter 75
"Start a business? Me?!" Qin Fenglian pointed at her nose and said stutteringly.
As an old country lady who could only do manual labor and could barely read or write, she had never even thought in her life that she could be associated with entrepreneurship.
Isn't this something that only college students or people with special abilities can do? She still remembered that there was a capable and prestigious man in the village who started this business, but soon lost all his money. Whenever people think of this, they can't help but tremble.
Qin Fenglian's first reaction was of course to shake her head, and she was nervous: "I can't do this, boss, did I do something wrong? I'm uneducated, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I promise to change."
According to Qin Fenglian's simple understanding, asking her to start a business means wanting to fire her, right?
Qin Fenglian really likes this job and is reluctant to leave.
Xue Mi was amused by her reaction: "Of course that's not what I meant. It's because I tried the braised beef and it tasted really good, so I wanted to ask if you want to open a store."
"Well," Qin Fenglian smiled, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out. "It's just something I make casually. There's no special recipe. But my daughter likes the braised beef I make the most, so I'm happy to do this."
She used to cook big pot dishes on the construction site for several years. At that time, the workers all praised her for her good cooking skills. Unfortunately, the stingy boss was reluctant to put more oil in the kitchen, so it was really difficult for her to show her talents. Unlike here, the treatment in the canteen was good and there was plenty of oil. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but be happy for her daughter.
As for opening a store and selling takeout, Qin Fenglian kept shaking her head and said that she definitely couldn't do it.
“How can the recipe I came up with at home compare to the ones in the store?” Although she had hardly eaten out because she couldn’t bear to do so, she knew if she thought about it, how could a recipe that could be sold be worse than her own?
Xue Mi said very sincerely: "Auntie, I can guarantee from my experience of eating in many places that the braised beef you make is absolutely the best."
Even if it’s not the best, it’s still one of the best. Once you’ve tasted it, it’s hard to forget.
Qin Fenglian smiled innocently.
Although she had no intention of opening a takeout shop, under Xue Mi's instigation, she reluctantly nodded and did some takeout business, although it was likely that she just didn't want to offend her boss.
As for how much they can be sold for…they are all common household items, how many people would buy them?
Her daughter thought that the boss had pointed out a clear path and that this business could really be done.
First of all, she knew how popular the braised beef in the cafeteria was recently. If it were really sold outside, there would definitely be a lot of people rushing to buy it.
Secondly, this business is done together with the boss. The boss provides the capital and they provide the technology. Even if there is a loss, at most it is just a waste of labor and not a big loss.
More importantly, word has spread throughout the company that their boss is a real money-making man. Over the years, he has succeeded in everything he does and has never lost money in business.
Being able to take this ride, Qin Fenglian's daughter felt that her mother's luck had finally turned and she was about to have good fortune.
Qin Fenglian was so happy about her daughter's flattery that she burst into laughter, but she still clapped her hands and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already this old, why should I still have good fortune? Good fortune has already gone to other families."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe all the debts of so many years can be made up in one go."
The daughter felt that her mother had never had any good luck in her life.
Her father died when she was a teenager. In order to support her two younger brothers and sisters, she went to an unfamiliar small village and married a man she had never met. Her first child was a daughter, who was not well-liked by the man. In order to protect her daughter, she suffered a lot of grievances. In the daughter's impression, the little herself often saw her father beating and scolding her mother, which was very scary.
When he was in his thirties, the man fell to his death in the back mountain. Qin Fenglian breathed a sigh of relief, and her daughter also breathed a sigh of relief.
But the life of a young widow was not much better than the days of being scolded and beaten. During that time, my mother not only had to live with the gossip of the villagers every day, but also had to always lock the door tightly, and was terrified at the slightest disturbance.
Later, Qin Fenglian gritted her teeth and followed a woman from the village to work, and brought her daughter with her.
At first, she worked as a foot cleaner in a foot massage parlor. The job was dirty and tiring, and she would be frequently teased by customers about her dirty work. Qin Fenglian couldn't stand it anymore and quit.
She wanted to find a job on a factory assembly line, but unfortunately, since she didn't even have an elementary school diploma, people didn't even look at her. In the end, she went to a construction site to move bricks as a laborer, paid by the day and earning 100 yuan a day. But after working for a while, her waist couldn't take it anymore, so she changed her job to cooking on the construction site, earning 2,400 yuan a month with no bonus.
Later she worked as a nanny, which paid relatively well, 4,500 yuan a month. She then worked as a confinement nanny, which paid even more, but it was too hard work. When she got older, people also disliked her for not being able to stay up late and for not speaking good Mandarin.
Qin Fenglian worked like this for so many years. Although it was hard work, she finally supported her daughter. But she soon found out that even if she graduated from university, she still couldn't settle down in this city.
The hard days cannot stop here.
In addition to wanting to buy a house for her daughter, she also has to consider what to do when she is no longer able to do it. Even if a girl is filial, the money in her pocket is her confidence.
Qin Fenglian has worked hard all her life. Perhaps she really needs to wait until the day when she can no longer work before she can stop and rest.
She didn't actually have much intuitive feeling about the so-called business partnership with the boss. She just felt that she had taken on another job, which was no different from before.
Anyway, they still do the same things as before: remove the blood, prepare the marinade, and use large barrels as tall as a person to process the fresh beef that has just arrived. As the marinade steams over a low fire, the aroma of the marinade will thoroughly permeate the meat.
She always felt that the reason why her braised beef was popular before was mainly because it was free and people must have said good things about it.
Otherwise, why do people say that this company has good welfare? Whenever there are festivals, and even sometimes not, they always give out some good things from time to time. Beef that costs dozens of yuan per pound is given out as if it were free.
But it costs money to buy it, and Qin Fenglian feels that no one would be willing to pay for it.
After all, the cost of beef is here. Although it is no longer transported by private jets, the available cattle are only the best grassland cattle, which are slaughtered on the spot and have never been put into cold storage. The cost of one pound is easily around 50 yuan. Add to that the reduced weight, as well as the labor and rental costs, and it has to be sold at least 80 yuan per pound to barely break even.
In fact, the braised beef sold in the cafeteria is priced at 98 yuan per pound. When Qin Fenglian heard the price, she couldn't help but take a breath. What she was most worried about was that no one would buy this batch of meat, and it would just go bad, which would be a waste of good ingredients.
Unfortunately, the boss was very firm and did not allow her to lower the price. He said that she had to sell it at that price and that was correct.
On the first day of the official sale, she was casually preparing the brine while anxiously watching the situation outside and sighing from time to time.
Even the girl who was helping sell goods at the cooked food window couldn't help but feel a headache from Qin Fenglian's nagging: "Auntie Qin, don't worry, it will definitely sell out. I was worried that if we made so little, it wouldn't be enough."
"That's definitely not possible," Qin Fenglian said, "This weighs several hundred kilograms. If I can't sell all of it and take it home to eat, how long will it take to finish it?"
As she spoke, she sighed worriedly again.
The cafeteria of Xifeng Media, including the cafeterias of several other companies under Xue Mi's name, only sells meals made on the same day, except for packaged foods. If there are any leftovers, they are either disposed of internally at a very cheap price or donated to charitable welfare organizations. In the end, all of them must be consumed on the same day.
All the meat was freshly prepared last night. Although the braised beef can be kept for several days, according to the company's regulations, it cannot be sold the next day.
If all of the several hundred kilograms of meat were sold, it would amount to tens of thousands of dollars!
Just thinking about it, Qin Fenglian felt the pressure was as huge as a mountain, pressing her against the pot and making it hard for her to breathe.
She looked at the cafeteria entrance again and found that it was still quiet and there was no one there.
The girl next to me laughed, "It's not even open yet, people definitely can't come over so early."
The cafeteria opens at 7 o'clock. It is now 6:48 in the morning. The staff are cleaning, preparing ingredients, and getting ready for opening.
According to past practice, people always come after 7:10, and not many of them. This may be because Xifeng Media's working hours are more flexible. This breakfast time always lasts until nine or ten o'clock, and the flow of people will gradually decrease. But soon, people will start to come to the cafeteria for lunch.
Although the working hours are long, the canteen staff do not feel too tired. This is mainly because although this job does not need to last until the middle of the night, it is done in two shifts, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, and the salary is not less than other places. Therefore, even the canteen's handymen have a much lower turnover rate than other places.
The young girl at the cooked food window is eager to work in this company for a long time, but she doesn't want to work in the cafeteria forever. The girl has been secretly reading books, practicing etiquette and Mandarin recently, and wants to compete for the company's front desk position. If she can be officially hired by the company, the salary can be increased, and she will definitely be very glorious in front of her sisters.
She was quite envious that Aunt Qin was appreciated by the boss and promoted to be a person in charge. However, it was a pity that she had no talent for cooking. She had no choice but to give the opportunity to learn the skill to another worker.
She glanced at the time, and finally quickly hung a red sign on the window that read "Beef is on sale today, braised beef is 98 yuan per pound, and sauce beef is 88 yuan per pound" and then placed a large stainless steel basin with braised beef and sauce beef on the window. The aroma spread out immediately.
The braised beef is a recipe that already existed, while the sauced beef is a new one Qin Fenglian came up with. Originally there was also roasted meat jerky, but that one had been used for a long time and could not be sold in time until tomorrow, so she added an extra one to avoid it looking ugly when it was displayed alone.
Moreover, because a large amount of sauce is added to the braised beef, the cost is lower - although the price still makes Qin Fenglian very uneasy.
As soon as the younger sister smelled the aroma of the braised beef, she asked Qin Fenglian to save a pound for her. It smelled so delicious that she could pour a spoonful of it on the rice during dinner. It would definitely be the best meat sauce rice.
Qin Fenglian smiled and said, "This meal is too expensive. I saw the braised beef rice next door, which comes with vegetables and eggs, is only 15 yuan a portion, and the portion is quite generous."
The cafeteria of Xifeng Media is subsidized, and the food is cheaper than outside, and the portions are larger. In comparison, Qin Fenglian really feels that what she sells is not cost-effective.
"The taste can't compare to what you make, Aunt Qin." The younger sister said bluntly.
She used to think that the food in this canteen was almost the best among all the canteens she had worked in, but after tasting the braised beef made by Aunt Qin, she felt that it was really not worth mentioning.
Haven't you noticed that the sales of beef rice over there have dropped a lot during this period? The boss at the window over there is also thinking about using the beef made by Aunt Qin as raw material, but the price of the vegetable will probably have to increase by two or three yuan, and I don't know whether the employees here can accept it.
But if I could sell a batch, Aunt Qin wouldn't be so nervous... My sister's mind raced, and she suddenly came to her senses and realized, hey, why are there suddenly a group of people in the cafeteria? When did it come out?
A man wearing a plaid shirt and glasses hurriedly walked to the first one and rushed directly to the cooked food window. He glanced at the red paper sign that had just been hung up and said quickly, "Give me ten kilograms of braised beef. This braised beef is a new product, right? Give me two kilograms as well."
Last time he brought back the beef distributed by the company, it was very popular. Even his daughter, who had never liked eating meat, gave him face and finished the rice in her bowl. There is also my great-grandmother who is almost 90 years old. She has lost all her teeth, but she also eats happily with her lips pursed.
The stock at home was eaten up in just two days. He heard that the company window had finally officially opened for sales, so he rushed to the first window to replenish the stock at home.
As soon as the door opened, there was a big order. Qin Fenglian at the back had no time to smile, and a young woman following the man with glasses also hurriedly shouted: "I want 20 kilograms of braised beef and sauced beef each. Please help me divide them into bags, 10 kilograms per bag."
Half of it is for myself, and the other half is for my best friend.
She actually regretted making trouble for no reason and showing off to her best friend how delicious the braised beef her company gave her was. As a result, her best friend asked her every other day when the product would go on sale, which gave her a headache.
10 jin, 20 jin, 30 jin, the group of people gathered around the window seemed to care nothing about the hundreds of dollars. Some used cafeteria cards, some transferred money directly through their mobile phones. The large sums of money were announced by the mobile phone voice in a very rigid voice, which made Qin Fenglian tremble with fear and cold sweat broke out.
As a result, before she could come to her senses, the more than 700 kilograms of beef prepared overnight were sold out in less than half an hour after the window was opened.
Instead, there was a sales volume of more than 60,000 yuan, 10% of which was the profit Qin Fenglian earned today.
That is...more than 6,000 yuan.
Qin Fenglian's mind was confused.
This was the first return payment she received.
It was not salary or bonus, nor was it a reward given by the boss because he was in a good mood. Instead, it was half of the profits that Qin Fenglian, as one of the partners, got.
This is a wonderful thing.
A woman who was used to doing hard labor, a woman who had long learned to endure and work hard in life, but still could only get a meager salary that was completely disproportionate to her labor, suddenly earned 6,000 yuan in just one day.
And looking at the current situation, at least in the short term, this kind of excitement will probably continue for a while.
Qin Fenglian, who has never been good at arithmetic, couldn't help but take out her mobile phone to do the math. 6,000 yuan a day, 30 days a month, that's... 180,000? !
In normal years, this amount of money would take her three years to earn - provided she worked day and night without rest.
The younger sister obviously realized it, and said happily: "Aunt Qin, I said our boss is amazing, you are really going to make a fortune!"
Qin Fenglian couldn't help wanting to laugh, so she forced herself to suppress the corners of her mouth, but she was still feeling uneasy and panicked: "This, this is really unexpected. Who knew that so much meat would be sold out in such a short time."
Maybe because she was too excited, she accidentally spoke in dialect.
Qin Fenglian had originally thought that she could sell most of it at the window and then sell the rest at a low price. After all, it was her first day doing business, and if she didn't lose a lot, she would make a small profit. By tomorrow, she would know roughly how much she should make, and she definitely couldn't listen to the boss's advice and make so much at once.
Who would have thought that I would see my money back so soon?
When she thought of the amount that came into the account, her heart began to tremble again, and her hands began to shake. She accidentally put an extra spoonful of spice into the pot, and then she screamed in panic and started to mix it again.
At this time, my younger sister couldn't help but change her mind. Although being a receptionist is good, if she can learn this skill from Aunt Qin, then she won't have to worry about her life...
The little sister cleaned the window quickly, then turned around with a smile and pushed the worker aside: "Aunt Qin, you have to deliver another batch of goods this afternoon, right? You will not be able to do it in time alone, let me help you..."
In the afternoon, not only people from the company, but even people from outside came to the cooked food window to buy braised meat.
There were a few white-collar workers who worked nearby. They were pulling each other and looking around with curiosity on their faces. It was obvious at a glance that they were not employees of Xifeng Media.
Because they didn't have employee ID cards, they couldn't go into the restaurant, but half of the cooked food window was outside, so it was very convenient for sales and didn't get in the way.
A young white-collar worker stretched his neck to look into the cafeteria for a long time before he whispered to several other colleagues: "The legend is true, the food here is so cheap, it's a pity we can't buy it."
The three meals a day here are subsidized, and they definitely cannot be taken out. Currently, the only things that can be sold to the outside are the cooked food window and the cake shop opposite. Because the normal market price is marked, it can also be sold to outsiders.
It was said to be market price, but because of the good quality of the materials, it seemed a little more expensive than other places. But even so, it was quickly snapped up, and soon, all the goods were sold out again.
Because time was tight in the afternoon and there were not that many raw materials prepared, Qin Fenglian only sold more than 400 kilograms - which, if you think about it, is also a pretty scary number.
More than a thousand kilograms of meat were exchanged for huge profits.
At night, she was happily doing the accounts in the dormitory she shared with her daughter. The mother and daughter compared the numbers reported by the calculator and couldn't stop laughing.
At the same time, the legend about the braised beef bought from a certain canteen also spread quickly on the Internet.
The meat is tender, mellow, fragrant and chewy. It is such an ultimate reward for the taste buds that many people who have eaten it can't help but show off online, saying that they have eaten the most delicious braised beef in the world.
The braised beef in soy sauce is equally delicious. The meat is softer and more flavorful. The freshness of the soy sauce further brings out the sweetness of the meat. It melts in your mouth and gives you a different kind of satisfaction.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
There are already a lot of idle people on the Internet, and there are even more greedy guys. So some of the greedy and idle guys really follow the address on the Internet and come here to watch the fun. They want to see what the beef that is so delicious that it makes their tongues swallow tastes like.
When I came over to take a look, wow, there were so many people!
I gritted my teeth and wanted to queue up, but the store came out with an announcement that the items were about to sell out and asked those behind me not to queue up, as you wouldn't be able to buy them even if you queued up.
How come a canteen window is doing this kind of hunger marketing?
The greedy idler's heart was just burning with anger, but when he turned around and smelled the fragrance, the anger quickly extinguished.
This smells so good, I want to eat it!
What else can I do? Let’s get up early tomorrow!
This idle person is not the only one who has similar thoughts. Because several types of beef are so popular, even the employees of Xifeng Media could not help but protest. They said that they have no problem with the price, but they are very dissatisfied about not being able to buy it, which they cannot tolerate in any way!
Moreover, there are more and more people outside the cooked food window, which is indeed a trouble for the formal operation of the canteen. After discussing with Qin Fenglian, Xifeng Media made a very straightforward decision: the original cooked food window will be retained, but it will no longer sell to the outside world. At the same time, a large street-facing store next to the company will be rented as Qin Fenglian’s new store, and the name given is also very personal, called Qin’s Beef.
The shares of Xindian were still calculated as before, with Xue Mi and Qin Fenglian holding half and half. Qin Fenglian still needed to provide technology, but the profits would be divided equally.
The store expanded and the staff increased, so Qin's beef's daily shipments were finally not sold out as soon as it opened. At least, it could barely last until noon.
The store's sales continued to rise, and Qin Fenglian finally became completely numb and was too lazy to look at the numbers that kept jumping up.
The only thing she knew was that if her daughter wanted to settle down in a big city, she could finally help her daughter buy a house.
Now her daughter has also resigned from the company and comes here to help. Qin Fenglian might not have understood it in the past. After all, it would be embarrassing for a college student to give up a respectable white-collar job and come here to sell cooked food.
But now, her mind has completely changed.
After all, as long as you have enough money, it doesn't matter whether it's decent or not.
Besides, hiring someone from outside will never be as reliable as your own daughter.
The mother and daughter made a lot of money in this way, and the myth about the boss turning stones into gold added a new case.
————
A new internet-famous restaurant called Qin’s Beef has emerged in S City, and Dudu’s treatment is finally getting better.
Relying on the bioelectric stimulation of the game cabin, the rate of his muscle atrophy was indeed greatly alleviated, and even some muscle groups that had been severely atrophied gradually showed signs of improvement.
Although there is still a long way to go before the child recovers to health, there is finally hope.
Unfortunately, the genetic project team has made little progress.
Gene therapy has been a hot topic in the medical field in recent years. Its goal is to achieve therapeutic effects by replacing or inactivating disease-related genes.
It's like scientists are trying to turn off the disease-related switch in the human body, thereby completely eradicating the disease.
As a very novel treatment method, there have been certain breakthroughs both at home and abroad. However, facing a disease that has not been conquered before, if you want to make progress in a short period of time, it will probably require Xue Mi to use a lot of golden fingers to achieve sporadic effects.
Unfortunately, at the moment, her golden finger is away from home and cannot be relied upon for the time being.
Xue Mi had just ordered a cup of milk tea. When she took the receipt from the milk tea boy, she accidentally learned that the milk tea boy's real dream was to be a resident singer in a bar. Later, he not only realized his dream, but also wrote dozens of best-selling pop songs and even held a concert in a stadium with tens of thousands of people. It seemed very glorious.
Unfortunately, he was addicted to drugs, and this bad habit caused him to fall to the bottom at the peak of his career, and he was never able to recover from that.
Even as the boss of an entertainment company, Xue Mi had no interest in talents who might make a lot of money for the company.
This kind of uncontrollable unstable factor is much more dangerous than box office poison, so it is better not to invite it and cause trouble for yourself.
Ah, speaking of that box office poison, Xue Mi finally remembered that this guy should have been hit hard enough and was ready to change his career path and become a director, right?
During the past two years, Xifeng Media has been thriving visibly. However, the company's former top player, with his brilliant record of repeated failures and repeated battles, has finally become a legend in the entertainment industry.
It's just that this legend is a bit unlucky. As soon as investors see him, they immediately avoid him.
A few days ago, an investor pointed at the general manager of Xifeng Media and scolded him for being unkind. He said that the boss of his own company was someone he never supported but instead released to harm others. It seemed that he had already sensed that this was a chronic poison and whoever used it would die.
Actually, to say this about Song Zhiyan, he really feels aggrieved.
After all, in the crew, he believed that he was conscientious and never did anything that he shouldn't have done. He also gave his all in the performance and never messed up anything.
He has indeed never messed up anything, but the problem is that every time a crew he is involved in a drama, there are problems. Either the investors run away or the leading actors’ reputations fail. The most outrageous time was when even the male and female protagonists as well as the second female lead failed together. The failure was so sudden that even AI face-changing couldn’t save it.
This kind of thing would be fine if it happened once or twice, but the problem is that this guy encountered it 8 times in two years. For the entertainment industry, which is already superstitious, this is simply irrefutable evidence that this young man is definitely unlucky and will lead the crew into trouble.
This kind of thing spread like wildfire, and later on, Song Zhiyan went from having difficulty getting scripts to having no scripts at all. From then on, he became a stay-at-home mom, living on the basic salary issued by Xifeng Media. His life was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, this person has a very optimistic personality. Since he can't make money in front of the screen, he might as well move behind the scenes.
He still hasn't considered becoming a director - the threshold for this is too high. Although he studied directing in college, unfortunately he dropped out of school in his junior year and did not get either a diploma or a degree. Such an incomplete diploma, paired with the glass of box office poison, not only has no weight at all, but is particularly repulsive, with a smell of loss that can be smelled even from ten miles away.
As for what the flavor of this scent is, the investors can't explain it clearly, but there is no need to explain it clearly. Anyway, you can find out by looking at Song Zhiyan.
To be honest, if it were a normal agency, a signed artist like this with an unlucky fate would most likely be terminated directly and asked to leave as far away as possible to avoid affecting the company's feng shui.
Only a Buddhist boss like the general manager of Xifeng Media could maintain the same attitude as always towards the sudden death of the former top star, with almost no change at all.
Song Zhiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Boss, don't you think I'm a freeloader with a salary of several thousand yuan a month?"
Logically speaking, even if artists from an agency can get a fixed salary, the money is usually very little and almost not worth mentioning.
However, it is obvious that Xifeng Media is an outlier. It not only pays wages, but also provides five social insurances and two housing funds, ensuring that the interests of employees are firmly protected and raising all welfare benefits to a high level in the same industry.
It's really touching!
The general manager was still calm and collected. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just an employee. How can I be considered a boss? By the way, are you finally planning to change your career and become a director? Do you have any plans?"
Song Zhiyan touched his nose and said, "I do have a plan, but I can't get investment for the time being. I might consider selling a car first."
As a well-known box office poison, the shadow it left in the hearts of investors probably cannot be immediately diluted by changing careers.
Since there was no investment to be made and it was a small production, it would be easier to just sell the cars myself.
Song Zhiyan has already thought it through. He bought the car when he became famous, and it is still worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Selling it should be enough to make the movie he wants to make.
If it’s not enough... we’ll find another way.
"You idiot, didn't the boss tell you a long time ago that even though the movie you starred in was produced by a different company, if you wanted to be a director, the company would definitely be happy to invest in you."
Song Zhiyan: ...Huh? !
Could it be that what the boss said to him before was not a confession from a black fan, but sincere career advice?
"That's right," the general manager chewed a few more wolfberries slowly, "I've said it before, our boss has a strong fortune, it's definitely right to follow her."
The general manager reported the plan to invest in Song Zhiyan as a director to make a movie, and it was approved quickly. He was very straightforward and unlike the black fans who had frowned in disdain when they heard about this man making movies and TV series.
Although he denied it verbally, the general manager actually had some suspicion in his heart that the boss was unwilling to invest in Song Zhiyan's new film because she was a genuine black fan.
But now it seems that both he and Song Zhiyan misunderstood the boss's good intentions. The previous suggestion might have been made sincerely. The boss felt that Song Zhiyan's future was not in acting, but in being a director.
I really want to know how the boss calculated it. If he had such a skill, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find qualified new people!
The general manager sighed with envy, and then gave Song Zhiyan one million without hesitation.
Since the company's operating conditions have improved visibly, he has become more financially comfortable and is no longer as stingy as before, fearing a loss.
After all, now that I have a boss to support me, I feel more confident.
Song Zhiyan felt very touched. When he met Miaomiao who was looking up information in the library, he couldn't help but express a few words of emotion.
Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him: "I've said it before, it's definitely right to listen to the boss. If you weren't so stubborn, you might have turned things around a long time ago."
Song Zhiyan: ...I'm sorry, it was rash of him to talk about this topic with a die-hard fan of the boss.
"By the way, what kind of film are you going to shoot?" Miaomiao asked him curiously again.
"I just happened to want to talk to you about this. Let's go to the cafeteria to have a meal together later. I'll treat you." Song Zhiyan looked down at his watch and invited him.
These two people don't seem to be in harmony at all. Logically speaking, their work and social circles have no overlap at all. However, Miao Miao's previously released movie "The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest" inexplicably hit Song Zhiyan, and he came specifically to find this legendary young screenwriter. The two chatted about the content of the script for a long time, and later on, they became familiar with each other.
Even Song Zhiyan's new script was actually influenced by "The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest", which suddenly gave him the urge to film the story in his mind.
Since dropping out of college, Song Zhiyan hasn't felt this impulsive for a long time.
I don’t know how much of the feel I had back then can be regained.
Song Zhiyan himself had no idea about the scenes of this movie. He didn't expect it. However, because of his boss's words, people around him believed more than he did that this movie would definitely achieve good results.
Miao Miao and Song Zhiyan talked about his new movie for almost half a day, from noon to dusk. When the orange light of the setting sun fell on the table, Song Zhiyan suddenly came back to his senses: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally delayed you for so long."
He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, a handsome face, and a look that far exceeds that of ordinary boys - otherwise, he would not have become a little famous back then and attracted many fans who admired his looks.
Even now, even though the reputation of box office poison has been deeply rooted in the circle and can no longer be reversed, many fans of his appearance still refuse to give up, and their slogan is loud and clear: "As long as his appearance does not decline, they will be fans of Song Zhiyan for life."
Song Zhiyan: ...Although I am very grateful for the fans' love, this kind of blindness...is nothing to be happy about.
Although the two have known each other for a long time, Miao Miao would be confused by this old devil face from time to time.
