Chapter 120: Debt-free.
Early morning of January 1, 2016.
The sound of fireworks outside the window was endless, but Yang Ruoqian had no time to care about it - because the importance of anything was not as important as the settlement of the system bonus.
Under Yang Ruoqian's high-frequency supervision of refreshing every five seconds, the real number of fans of video blogger Yan Guang was fixed at 41,005, and the bonus amount was locked at 5 million.
What does this mean? This means that Yang Ruoqian's debt can finally be paid off! What took Yang Ruoqian a full ten years to accomplish in his previous life, Yang Ruoqian only took half a year to complete in this life.
Although there were many twists and turns along the way, the result is always good.
From now on, every penny you earn belongs to you.
The goal of paying off the debt has been achieved, and the next goal is to achieve financial freedom! As for how big the company can be, what new path can be created, and what field can become a giant... Yang Ruoqian no longer has hope for such things.
I believe that my employees will not have such unrealistic ideas.
【Eighteen-line Artist Training System】
[Host: Yang Ruoqian]
[The company currently has 6 artists (Gao Naiyun, Huang Rushi, Ruan Miner, Song Lixin, Du Rulin, Yan Guang). Among them, 4 are big stars, 1 is a small star, and 1 is a big flop. The total bonus amount is 5,007,000 yuan. ]
[Rewards have been issued]
[Company funds 20060238.82 (5 million monthly quota, 5007000 level reward, company profit and surplus...). Note: The monthly quota cannot be used to repay loans, and all company funds cannot be transferred to the host's personal account in any form]
[The host company's cash flow exceeds 20 million yuan, proving that the host is a qualified boss. The system now allows the host to pay himself a monthly after-tax salary of no more than 2,000 yuan! ]
[Congratulations to the host for training two "big flop" level artists and successfully receiving two high bonuses. As the number of artists under the host gradually increases, the system will conduct the first data integration and upgrade to version 2.0, so stay tuned! ]
[The four-stage expansion tasks will be announced after the system upgrade is completed! ]
【Thank you for using the 1.1 version system! 】
【System Upgrading...】
If he wasn't afraid of being mistaken for a psychopath by Chang Zhiqing next door, Yang Ruoqian would have laughed out loud right now! His life has been getting better and better lately.
Not only did he have Yan Guang's long-term meal ticket, he also paid off his loan, got a guaranteed monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, and was about to get an upgraded system...
Although 2000 may not seem like much, it means it's a good start.
In addition, Chang Zhiqing can also receive housing subsidies from her salary, and this housing subsidy is transferred to her through rent. With all these factors, her monthly guaranteed income is at least 3,500 yuan.
Yang Ruoqian did a simple calculation and found that after paying off the 10 million yuan loan with principal and interest, he would still have at least 10,000 yuan left in savings! A long-lost positive asset!
And this time there was no sudden damn heart attack that sent me back to the period of bankruptcy.
People who are in a good mood sleep more comfortably.
Yang Ruoqian fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
In his dream, he saw himself successfully earning 10 million a month with the help of the 2.0 system, reaching the peak of his life. Every day, he was worried about how to properly allocate his time to different entertainment projects...
Knock, knock, knock! Before Yang Ruoqian could finish his sweet dream, a knock on the door startled him awake.
Chang Zhiqing's familiar voice came from the door: "Yang Ruoqian, open the door quickly! Why are you sleeping in for the new year!"
Yang Ruoqian woke up suddenly, and returned from his dream of a life with a monthly income of 10 million to the reality of having only 10,000 in savings.
"Don't rush me." Yang Ruoqian reluctantly got off the bed, "It's only what time are you getting up?"
The quilt in winter seems to have a magical power that attracts people firmly to the bed, and it is impossible to get out without lingering for more than ten or twenty minutes.
But after all, it was cold and people were waiting outside, so Yang Ruoqian could only get up reluctantly and open the door for Chang Zhiqing.
"you……"
Yang Ruoqian had just finished saying one word when he couldn't utter the rest - Chang Zhiqing, who was outside the door, was wearing the winter JK school uniform she had bought at the Shancheng Comic Exhibition, with a pleated skirt and thick stockings on the bottom.
Compared with his previous professional office attire, he looked five or six years younger, as if we had returned to the time when we first met in freshman year.
"You...what are you doing?" Yang Ruoqian didn't quite understand. "Do you have any special activities for New Year's Day?"
Chang Zhiqing went into the house, sat on the sofa, and said unhappily: "We finally have a day off today, why don't you go out and have some fun?"
"Go out and have some fun. Uh, that's not impossible." Yang Ruoqian looked at the weather outside. Although it was winter, it was still sunny. "Where do you want to go to have fun? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Don't you like comic exhibitions very much? Didn't you see that there is a comic exhibition nearby today?" Chang Zhiqing's expression didn't reveal what she was thinking. She took the cup of hot water and drank it naturally. "It's a good day off, so let's go and have a look."
"Uh, okay..."
That is, when did he start to “really” like comic conventions?
I went to the Shancheng Comic Convention last time just out of curiosity. I thought it was fun, but I can’t say I really liked it.
However, Yang Ruoqian did not refuse Chang Zhiqing's invitation.
Anyway, his debts were paid off, his bonus was in hand, and Yang Ruoqian, with a huge sum of 10,000 yuan, had the confidence to go out and spend it.
Sensing Yang Ruoqian's good mood, Chang Zhiqing was more certain that he liked the comic exhibition, so she urged him, "Then rinse your mouth quickly and change your clothes!"
…
After hesitating for more than ten minutes, Chang Zhiqing dragged Yang Ruoqian, who was not yet fully awake, out of the house, looking a little impatient.
The two took a car to the comic exhibition square, and at a glance they saw all kinds of cosplayers, some were anime characters, some were game characters, some were film and television characters, and some were original characters.
There is a stage not far away.
After all, it was not his first time visiting there, so Yang Ruoqian did not feel as much novelty as before, but he was still quite curious about the situation around the stage.
The person singing on the stage was a good-looking young man...but apart from his looks, everything else was hard to describe. Whether it was the lyrics, the song, or his singing skills, Yang Ruoqian found it difficult to find a suitable compliment to describe him.
This can be seen from the fact that passers-by subconsciously avoid the stage.
What is even more eye-catching is that in addition to the young man singing on the stage, there is also a young woman about 17 meters tall standing in the audience. She looks a few years older than Yang Ruoqian. Apart from her long hair, she gives the impression of having a sweet appearance.
However, from her posture and sharp eyes, it can be seen that this girl has the aura of a person who has been in a superior position for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Chang Zhiqing suddenly asked, with some displeasure in her tone.
"It's terrible, don't you think?" Yang Ruoqian came back to his senses, "Why do you dare to sing in a place like this with your level? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
Although he said so, Yang Ruoqian still memorized the appearance of these two people - if there is a chance in the future, he can recruit these two people into the company. With their abilities, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money from the system.
Chengyu Group... Yeah, I remember it.
"What does it have to do with you whether someone sings badly or not?" Chang Zhiqing still looked unhappy, "Go!"
"Okay, okay, let's go, go, go..."
So, Yang Ruoqian was taken by Chang Zhiqing to wander around the comic exhibition, looking at various booths while listening to her introducing his favorite works and characters.
Although Yang Ruoqian had read a lot of these things in college, for him, they were memories from more than ten years ago. For many things, he only had an impression at most, and it was hard to say how much he still remembered.
But looking at the girl who was talking incessantly and seemed very excited, Yang Ruoqian sighed softly, still pretending to be serious, nodding occasionally, occasionally expressing emotion and praising her vision.
Although I'm not particularly passionate about these things, since Chang Zhiqing likes them, it's not impossible for me to be an audience member to entertain them.
The two of them spent most of the day in the comic exhibition, starting in the morning, having lunch and continuing in the afternoon. Yang Ruoqian also witnessed Chang Zhiqing's enthusiasm and professionalism.
It seems that this girl really likes comic conventions.
It's just that I haven't seen much in the past few years of college and the past ten years of work. Maybe it's because I'm too busy with studies and work, so I gave up my hobbies? Chang Zhiqing glanced at Yang Ruoqian who nodded repeatedly, and was quite satisfied with her performance.
After she came back from the mountain city, she had been cramming her knowledge about comic exhibitions and animation, doing her best to present herself as a homegirl who was well versed in this field.
God knows how much energy she has spent to develop from a complete layman to someone who can talk freely at comic conventions.
The level of seriousness is comparable to when writing a paper in college.
But as long as Yang Ruoqian likes it...
Finally, at dusk, the two people who were not very interested in the comic exhibition returned to the car with smiles on their faces, chatting with each other.
On the way, the man and woman near the stage had not left yet. I could even hear the woman scolding the young man in a cold voice and the young man apologizing repeatedly.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry..."
But at this time, each of them had their own thoughts. The two people who pretended to be exhausted didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to the two people. They got in the car and went home and had a quick dinner.
Of course... on a day like this, it was impossible for Chang Zhiqing to cook by herself, so the two of them found a restaurant that was open on New Year's Day and ordered a few dishes to take away.
Crystal shrimp, eight-treasure duck, cumin lamb chops and a portion of seasonal vegetables.
The portion was a bit large and the price was not cheap, but for Yang Ruoqian, who had a huge sum of 10,000 yuan in his pocket, it was nothing.
The meal looked no different from before, but for some reason the atmosphere in the living room was a little different from before.
Perhaps it was the winter chill that squeezed in through the crack in the door, bringing a little chill to the warm house.
As the last lamb chop bone was thrown into the slag dish, the two people who had been chatting all day miraculously fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Chang Zhiqing was the first to break the awkward silence.
"Did you have fun today?" She took a deep breath, leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and asked casually.
She was exhausted anyway.
Yang Ruoqian, who was equally exhausted, did not hesitate and nodded, "Very happy."
"That……"
"By the way, I bought something for you..." Yang Ruoqian, who had been looking for an opportunity to speak, finally got the chance, "See if you like it."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a painting from his bag. In the painting were the hazy figures of two people, and below them was a row of lights connected in the shape of constellations. It was exquisitely made and the picture was beautiful. It didn't feel cheap, nor was it clichéd.
Obviously, some thought was put into it.
Chang Zhiqing's eyes flashed with unprecedented emotions, and her voice was filled with almost uncontrollable surprise: "When did you buy it? I didn't even know? Did you buy it today?"
After looking at Chang Zhiqing's reaction, Yang Ruoqian felt a little relieved.
I never buy gifts because I'm afraid I'll buy the wrong one...
But now it seems that the effect is still good.
Yang Ruoqian cleared his throat: "During lunch, I went to the bathroom. It was at that time."
"No wonder." Chang Zhiqing let out a long "oh". Although her tone was not obvious, every little movement of her fingers showed that she couldn't let go of the painting. "I thought something was wrong with you, but it turns out you have some little thoughts?"
"We've known each other for so many years, this is the first time you've given me a gift, right?" Yang Ruoqian subconsciously found an excuse for his behavior, "You've been with me for so long, it's normal for you to give me a small gift."
After saying this, the living room fell silent again.
Today's silence seems to come a little too often...
Yang Ruoqian thought so.
Seeing that it was Chang Zhiqing who broke the silence just now, Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and spoke first: "It's quite late, I'll go back first..."
Having said that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Chang Zhiqing put the painting away and interrupted, "I think it's still quite early."
For some reason, there was a rare sense of ease in her voice, as if she had solved a difficult problem in her heart.
"Ah?" Yang Ruoqian didn't understand. "Huh?"
"Yang Ruoqian, what do you think we were doing today?" Although Chang Zhiqing was still wearing the youthful and beautiful JK suit, her whole state seemed to have returned to when she was working in the company.
"What are you doing? Visiting a comic convention?" Yang Ruoqian was stunned.
Chang Zhiqing, who was used to being angry, was surprisingly calm this time. She blurted out all the words she had kept in her heart: "You are really blind. Can't you see that I am pursuing you?"
Yang Ruoqian was suddenly hit on the head by this extremely informative sentence and trembled all over: "Ah?!"
Seeing Yang Ruoqian's reaction, the last bit of nervousness in Chang Zhiqing's heart completely disappeared. She rushed to Yang Ruoqian, grabbed his collar and said, "You don't really think I like visiting that crappy comic exhibition, do you? You don't really think that a few glasses of beer can make me drunk, do you? Huh?!"
Yang Ruoqian lost his balance and was pushed against the wall by Chang Zhiqing, who was a head shorter than him.
The postures of the two people are quite intimate, and the atmosphere is basically set...
"Oh, so you don't like comic conventions either. Actually, I don't like it either. I always thought you liked it very much. It turns out that we were both pretending. Haha!" Yang Ruoqian laughed dryly.
Chang Zhiqing was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pinched him: "I'll let you..."
