After handing over his work, Shen Fang arrived at the artists' area.
As soon as I entered, I saw two or three cats of various sizes in the company, drinking tea, smoking, and playing mahjong. Goodness, it's practically turned into a card and mahjong room.
"Hey, Xiao Fang's here." Zhang Guoli greeted Shen Fang with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Uncle, you've turned this place into a card and mahjong parlor, wow."
Wang Gang laughed: "Our work basically won't start until next year, so we're just sitting around doing nothing. You're still giving us a guaranteed salary, so we can come here and play mahjong whenever we have free time. Staying at the company means we can get in touch if anything happens."
"If there's nothing important, you don't need to come over. Just stay home. You don't have to clock in for work."
“Eight points? That won’t do. You’re paying our salaries, it’s not good for us to stay at home every day. Besides, we can get to know each other better at the company. Mr. Shen, I’ve invited you to dinner, but you’re always busy. Why don’t you want to have dinner with me?” Xu Qing said with a grin.
"I've been busy, haven't I?"
"The salary is a salary, and this amount is to provide some basic security for new employees. You can come if you want, or don't come if you don't want to. But please keep your voice down when you play mahjong, otherwise other staff members might feel uncomfortable if they see you."
Zeng Li smiled and said, "We stayed at the company all day without going out much. We even prepared food, and made some hot pot for lunch. It was a bit boring at home, so Teacher Zhang suggested that we come to the company for a team building activity to get to know each other better, since we're all from the same company."
Shen Fang nodded inwardly. Zhang Guoli had done a good job in this regard. As senior artists in the company, they helped to build up the signed artists and let them get to know each other, which was a good thing. The relationships between artists were, well, very delicate. It wasn't uncommon for artists from the same company to have bad relationships and engage in backstabbing and intrigue in the industry. In the case of artists from the Chinese-American group, it was practically a daily occurrence, with chaos and turmoil arising from even the smallest resources.
Shen Fang walked up to Yan Danchen: "Where's Xiaoming? I don't see him."
"He went to pick up his girlfriend. Boss, is there something you need him for?"
Shen Fang nodded and smiled, "There's something I need to do. Last time I asked him to contact his agent, and now you guys are all bored here every day. If I don't find you a big manager, it'll be a waste of your time and a loss of money."
Wang Gang chuckled and said, "We really should find someone to oversee the economic department. The New Year is just around the corner, it's a great time to make money. Xiao Fang, want to play a couple of rounds? I'm taking a break."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "No, Uncle Wang, I have something to do at home. You guys have fun. Sister Danchen, Xiaoming is here. Tell him to contact his agent."
Yan Danchen nodded: "Okay, I'll tell him when he arrives."
Shen Fang stood up: "You guys keep playing, I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute, don't go yet."
Just as Shen Fang was about to leave, his older sister Xu Qing came over, and the two of them went outside.
Xu Qing stared straight at Shen Fang: "President Shen, I'd like to invite you to dinner. I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time; you saved me from such a huge loss."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. I didn't help much. It was just scaring Liu Bo a little. It's nothing."
"No way, I'm going to treat you to dinner. When are you free? I don't want to owe you a favor," Xu Qing said, pouting.
Shen Fang looked at the older sister: "Are you really going to invite her?"
Xu Qing smiled, revealing two dimples, and looked at Chen Fang: "Yes, I'll treat you alone."
Shen Fang nodded: "Okay, I'll see when I have time, can I ask you out?"
Xu Qing was very happy: "Then it's a deal, no backing out, and no standing me up."
Shen Fang nodded: "Okay, let's go back and continue building the Great Wall."
