Chapter 45: Going Crazy forty-fifth day and marrying the vicious female supporting role
Thanks to this sudden news, Tan Mo almost forgot that she still had to discuss cooperation with Song Yuanqiao.
She told Song Yuanqiao the purpose of her visit.
Song Yuanqiao was surprised: "Where can you find a variety show that gossips about wealthy families? I thought you were here to invest like Nangong Lie."
Song Yuanqiao's variety shows are often popular, and advertisers are usually vying to invest in them. He originally planned to use some backdoors to help Tan Mo.
"Investment? That's fine." Tan Mo suddenly thought of something and coughed solemnly. "I recently founded a paternity testing company, so this would be a good opportunity to promote it."
"On one hand, they're showing gossip about wealthy families, and on the other hand, they're advertising paternity testing." Tan Mo thought more and more about it, and looked at Song Yuanqiao and said, "It fits the nature of this variety show perfectly, doesn't it?"
Song Yuanqiao was speechless. Having been in this industry for many years, he had seen people promoting and selling hot and sour noodles, as well as underwear, but this was the first time he had seen an advertisement for a paternity testing company.
What? Do you think everyone in the country suspects you're cheating?
He glanced at Lu Xingjian, who was still a normal person, and tried to get him to persuade Tan Mo, who had a strange way of thinking.
Perhaps seeing no one responding to his boss, Lu Xingjian continued, "Boss Tan is truly insightful."
Song Yuanqiao: ...even more speechless and choked
In order to avoid the vomiting of blood caused by hearing Tan Mo's other wild and difficult to implement ideas, Song Yuanqiao directly arranged a team to connect with her.
Song Yuanqiao has been able to produce so many widely discussed variety shows, and it has to be said that he does have a lot of highly professional and capable people under his command.
Tan Mo went from being an investor to the founder of a new variety show with the help of Song Yuanqiao's team. She went from zero foundation to mastering the core of variety shows, all thanks to the popular science education provided by these people.
They chatted until the end of the working day.
After the meeting, Song Yuanqiao came to see her off. "How was it? Are you still going to do this project?"
Tan Mo: "Of course."
Whether it is to make money by listening to rich family gossip or to advertise for the paternity testing company, Tan Mo will do it.
She smiled and said, "Uncle Yuanqiao, my paternity testing company mainly caters to wealthy families. If you have time, please help promote it to me and the wealthy bosses around you."
"Regardless of whether the promotion is successful or not, I'll give you a 50% discount. How about that? No one else can get such a good price."
Is this a good thing?
Song Yuanqiao gently declined: "No need, I've checked it all."
Tan Mo: "Then you can also test you and your father. Although the child is not yours, your father may not be yours either."
Song Yuanqiao: ...
*
Stepping out of Song Yuanqiao's film and television building, the afterglow of the setting sun turned the marble floor into a bright gold color.
Tan Mo took in the beautiful scenery, facing the warm light, and took a deep breath, "I'm so tired."
Lu Xingjian said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan. I was a little late in contacting the driver just now. He's stuck in traffic and is expected to arrive in ten minutes."
Seeing that Tan Mo was tired, he asked, "Do you need me to call a taxi now to take you home?"
"Don't be nervous, ten minutes is fine," Tan Mo said. "I'm just taking in too much new information, and my brain is a little tired."
"Then are you going to accept Mr. Song's suggestion?"
Tan Mo had no experience in variety show production before, and Song Yuanqiao suggested that she could entrust them with the production as an advertiser.
This is equivalent to her being Party A and Song Yuanqiao being Party B.
Tan Mo shook her head and said, "If that's the case, I feel like my fate is in the hands of others. They may not take my project seriously. If I give them money but the results are not good, where can I go to seek justice?"
"And after communicating with the production team just now, I feel that some people simply don't understand what I want."
Lu Xingjian said, "If you keep watching the whole time, you'll definitely get tired."
A variety show of considerable size needs to be equipped with a producer, chief editor, producer, director team, screenwriter team, production team, art team, selection team, director and cinematography team, post-production team, stage design team, publicity team and other teams.
If Tan Mo does not intend to authorize Song Yuanqiao's team to do it, although Song Yuanqiao can lend a group of people to Tan Mo, more teams will need to be formed by Tan Mo herself.
Among them, the position of producer who is in charge of the most things must be Tan Mo.
Moreover, forming a team is only part of the difficulty; the subsequent preparation stage is even more troublesome.
Tan Mo sighed, "This is the only way for now."
Although it goes against her original intention of making easy money, Tan Mo, who has experienced the exploitation of black-hearted bosses both before and after she transmigrated into the book, knows very well that if you want to make big money, you must work hard, and you can only make small money easily.
"I'm a little hungry." Tan Mo said, looking at the convenience store not far away, "Let's go buy some oden to fill our stomachs first."
"Okay." Lu Xingjian agreed immediately.
As Tan Mo felt the sunset, she said, "You know what? I hate autumn and winter the most, because it gets dark early. By the time I get off work and leave the office, it's already pitch black. I haven't seen the sun all day, and it feels like my time and youth have been completely wasted by work."
Lu Xingjian: "Are you talking about when you were Nangong Lie's assistant?"
Actually not.
That was when she was working as a preschool teacher and doing other internships before she transmigrated into the book world.
This is a memory that is different from the world in the book and belongs exclusively to Tan Mo, an alien.
She suddenly felt a little sad because she couldn't share this memory with anyone around her. It was like a sign, reminding her that Tan Mo was different from the other people in the book.
In order to avoid Lu Xingjian's inquiries, Tan Mo should have nodded and said yes.
But she shook her head and said, "No."
After saying this, she felt annoyed again.
She has been caught in a dilemma lately. Sometimes Tan Mo doesn't want to be different from the other people in the book, she wants to fit in wholeheartedly.
But sometimes she reminds herself that she must stay sober, and she comes to the world of the book just to make money.
Forget it, having said all, Tan Mo decided to follow her heart and said vaguely, "Before becoming Nangong Lie's assistant, I also did other jobs. No matter what they were, I felt that my youth was being wasted."
Lu Xingjian didn't expect Tan Mo to be stunned for such a long time because of this simple question. He said thoughtfully, "Because you didn't like your previous job, but now that you're the president, you don't think so anymore."
"That's true, but it's not that I like being a CEO." Tan Mo thought for a moment, "What I like is that I can control all the money I earn through my own labor. For example, when I was Nangong Lie's assistant, I clearly went to great lengths to negotiate cooperation with other companies and signed contracts worth tens of millions, but I only received a salary of a little over 10,000 yuan a month."
"This has completely dampened my work enthusiasm. Although I understand that I was able to secure tens of millions of yuan worth of contracts through the company's platform, the company wouldn't have been able to secure these tens of millions of yuan contracts without me."
“Not everyone has this negotiation ability.”
"From the perspective of work content, the company and I clearly have a cooperative relationship, but the salary distribution is very unfair, so I can't be happy."
"But things are different now. Through my own labor, I can get a high salary that matches my labor, so my subjective initiative has naturally increased."
Tan Mo pushed open the door of the convenience store and asked Lu Xingjian, "What about you? Do you like autumn and winter?"
Lu Xingjian: "I don't like it either. But my reasons are different from yours. Maybe it's because of my childhood. I was always the last student in the class to be picked up by my parents. Usually, there were only me and a few security guards left. Especially when a strong wind blew through the empty school, it was terrifying."
"Then it must have been a long time since school ended, right? Your parents didn't pick you up so late because they were too busy at work?"
"I think so." Lu Xingjian paused, then changed the subject without leaving a trace, "What do you want to eat?"
Tan Mo: "Meat!"
In addition to oden, Tan Mo also bought some snacks. She hadn't eaten junk food for a long time.
In order to make it easier for her to eat oden, Lu Xingjian naturally helped Tan Mo hold these snacks.
As I came out of the convenience store, my cell phone rang.
Tan Mo took out her cell phone and took a look. It was a call from Jiang Qingya.
The Jiang family had something going on some time ago, and as a member of the sisterhood, Jiang Qingya did not come out for gatherings.
"Let's go out for hotpot tonight. When do you get off work?"
Tan Mo: "I'm a little tired today and don't want to go to the restaurant to eat."
"Then I'll pack the ingredients and go to your house. You're living in Rose Manor now, right?"
Tan Mo was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and hesitated, "Xu Xiaonian and Nangong Lie are also staying there temporarily..."
"So?" Jiang Qingya asked, "Do I still have to provide them with food?"
Tan Mo: ...
It seems that Tan Mo was overthinking her madness of not caring about the life and death of Xu Xiaonian and Nangong Lie. Jiang Qingya is indeed a cold-blooded and ruthless female supporting role that drives the development of the plot, just as described in the novel.
Key point: ruthless.
"Then come over here, and call Jin Yuan along."
Since Tan Mo is going to do a variety show, it is necessary to ask for advice from people like Jin Yuan who are deeply involved in the entertainment industry.
Before hanging up the phone, she asked again, "How is your family situation?"
"Let's talk about it when we meet. I invited you to eat hot pot because I wanted to complain."
At 7:30 in the evening, two groups of people arrived at Rose Manor at almost the same time.
Jiang Qingya and Jin Yuan each held two large bags of hot pot ingredients.
Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian got out of the car and wanted to take the things in their hands. Jin Yuan raised his chin and said, "There are some in the trunk. Go get them."
After walking a few more steps, Tan Mo and Lu Xingjian saw a pile of stuff in the trunk: ...
Tan Mo was shocked: "You don't really need to move the hot pot restaurant here."
There's even a pot.
Jiang Qingya: "I'm so irritable now that I want to eat everything I see."
Jin Yuan: "What about shit? Do you want it too?"
Jiang Qingya: ...
The four of them worked together to get as much of the stuff in the trunk back to the villa as possible at one time.
Walking all the way from the parking lot to the gate, Tan Mo wondered why she didn't see anyone. If it were in the past, she would have seen Aunt Fengjuan and Master Gao coming out to help.
"So, what are you going to do now?" When Tan Mo just opened the door, this powerful and intimidating voice reached her ears.
Nangong Xiong's voice was really unique and majestic. The other three people, including Tan Mo, felt a little dispirited after hearing it.
The four of them blinked at each other: Should we retreat?
Tan Mo: Go ahead and fight.
Lu Xingjian: I agree.
Jiang Qingya: +1
Gold Edge: +2
It was during the retreat that the pot Tan Mo was holding hit the gate.
The four of them quickened their pace.
"Tan Mo!"
The four of them hurriedly quickened their pace.
"Stop right there!" Nangong Xiong shouted.
The four of them stood still resigned to their fate.
Tan Mo turned around and walked into the villa, only then did she see clearly that everyone in the villa was present.
Aunt Fengjuan, Master Gao, and Xu Xiaonian stood there nervously, looking at Tan Mo as if she were looking at the God who saved the common people. They almost blurted out, "Oh God, you are finally here."
Nangong Lie was standing a little far away from the three of them. He had his head down, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but with a little guess, one could tell that Nangong Xiong was scolding him.
Tan Mo sighed: "What do you want from me?"
Nangong Xiong looked at Tan Mo from head to toe with disdain, "Look at yourself now, what do you look like?"
"Like a bride returning to her parents' home." Tan Mo looked at the two large bags in her hands. "A chicken in my left hand, a duck in my right hand..."
He actually sang it.
Nangong Xiong: ...
Aunt Fengjuan, Master Gao, Xu Xiaonian: ...
Tan Mo disagreed, "It's just that we're still missing a fat baby."
"You, you, you..." Nangong Xiong was so angry that he almost collapsed. When Jiang Qingya slowly moved from the door to Tan Mo's side, Nangong Xiong was about to curse, but Tan Mo smiled and introduced, "Fatty is here."
She also pointed at Lu Xingjian and Jin Yuan behind her: "Fat baby number 2, number 3."
Nangong Xiong: ...It’s better to just stick your head out!
"Master, master, don't get angry and make yourself sick." Uncle Song hurriedly stepped forward and comforted Nangong Xiong.
Nangong Xiong snorted twice, "Forget it, I'm not here to question you today."
"Congratulations! You've secured your position as the eldest daughter of the Nangong family. I spent a day checking, and Xihe has indeed announced its withdrawal from the overseas expansion plan."
So that's why.
Tan Mo was not to be blamed in this matter, and her tense heart suddenly relaxed, so her standing posture changed from a proper standing position to a cool V-shape.
Nangong Xiong thought Tan Mo would be happy, but he didn't expect to be greeted with such a eccentric and disdainful attitude.
Nangong Xiong was tired and turned to the silent Nangong Lie.
"The Nangong family has always been a place where there is no room for two tigers. Now that Tan Mo has secured the CEO's position, then you, Nangong Lie..."
Nangong Lie showed no emotion when his name was called.
Instead, it is a relief.
Is it finally here?
"From now on, you are no longer allowed to get involved in any of the Nangong family's businesses."
Nangong Xiong's voice resounded throughout the villa.
Tan Mo said shamelessly, "As he should. In terms of bloodline, Nangong Lie can't compare to me; in terms of ability, I won both matches. How can he compare to me?"
After she finished speaking, she whispered to Lu Xingjian, "Do you think I'm being too arrogant when I speak like this?"
Lu Xingjian: "As you should, Mr. Tan. I actually think it's too tactful."
Jin Yuan, who was standing behind them: ...you guys are still shameless
Nangong Xiong kept looking at Nangong Lie, as if waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Nangong Lie said with a choked throat: "I understand."
"But after all, you've been raised by me for more than 20 years since you were a child, and I don't want you to suffer like an ordinary person."
Nangong Xiong paused, "As long as you promise me one thing, I can still ensure your prosperity and wealth."
"What?" Nangong Lie asked numbly.
"Marry Jiang Qingya into the Jiang family."
Tan Mo:!
Xu Xiaonian:!
Jiang Qingya:!
Nangong Lie:!
