Chapter 141 Look at Mr. Yang, he is so happy
While other people were still working overtime to make and post videos, Yang Ruoqian and the crew huddled together in front of the barbecue restaurant as if it had nothing to do with them.
"Boss Yang! You're in good health!"
"Mr. Yang, make a fortune..."
After a few polite words, Yang Ruoqian coughed twice and signaled the crew to be quiet: "I believe everyone can't wait, so I will say less."
The crowd, who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, controlled their temper, nodded, and prepared to listen to a long speech of at least ten minutes in the cold wind.
The boss is willing to pay for everyone's meal, so it won't hurt to listen to his nagging.
A man who has received favors from others should be grateful and a man who has received favors from others should be soft-hearted.
"This meal is a buffet. Everyone must take the most expensive, most desired, and least filling dish. Whether you can help me make back my money depends entirely on your performance!"
"Okay, let's eat!"
In order to prevent the crew members from being too reserved and not daring to take the expensive items, or only daring to take a little bit of the expensive items, Yang Ruoqian specially gave them a reassurance.
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian, who had deliberately gone hungry for a day, rushed into the barbecue restaurant first and started eating and drinking with public funds unscrupulously.
In order to prepare for this long-planned meal at public expense, Yang Ruoqian, as the boss, directly issued the highest order to the barbecue restaurant - to buy several portions of common high-end ingredients available on the market from all over the country and even all over the world for everyone, and have them airlifted using cold chain.
As a result, this barbecue restaurant, which used roast lamb as its signature dish, suddenly turned into a paradise for all kinds of food, with high-quality seafood, wild mushrooms, beef, famous wines, raw cola, etc.... Of course, lamb is also one of the highlights of this feast.
The crew members hadn't reacted yet and could only watch Mr. Yang's back as he sped away, as if this boss, who was speculated by the outside world to be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, had not eaten for the whole day and was now starving.
Mr. Yang said two sentences, and they really were two sentences? Even the second sentence only had three words?
The crew members who were originally a little reserved immediately smiled knowingly - President Yang was asking us to eat to our heart's content and not let our mentality be affected by the leaders present.
After all, when eating with leaders, elders or financial backers, no matter how delicious the food is, it is difficult for them to really eat as much as they want.
You always have to pay attention to your image.
Now even Mr. Yang himself doesn’t care so much about his image, which means everyone can relax a little.
"Come on, come on, what are you still standing there for? Eat!"
"I can already smell the aroma from outside. It's an ingredient I can't even afford."
"This time I'll open my eyes to see what the big guys who earn 20 million a month usually eat."
The shop assistants, who were so bored that they swatted all the mosquitoes in the store to death, finally found something to do. They put in all their energy and enthusiastically introduced these ingredients to the crew members.
Over here is high-end domestic caviar, over there is oysters airlifted from France, this is Australian lobster, that is Wagyu beef, in the distance are cod and bluefin tuna... and also the wild mushroom that has been very popular recently, Matsutake.
The faces of the people, who had already had high expectations, changed when they saw these things.
When they heard that the boss was treating them to a meal, the entire crew initially thought that they should go for some high-end Cantonese cuisine that could seat a dozen or twenty people at a table.
Later, when they heard that it was a buffet, they thought that no matter how high-end a buffet was, at most it would provide unlimited barbecue and a maximum of one portion of high-end seafood per person.
Only now did they realize that their knowledge was so poor that even identifying all the ingredients was a luxury.
"What is this thing? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I feel like one bite would cost me half a month's salary."
"Let's have a bowl of vermicelli soup first to calm down..."
“That’s shark fin.”
"...I'll eat some fruit first. Take some watermelon."
“That’s the belly of a bluefin tuna.”
“Ah, this…”
"To be honest, Mr. Yang is really generous." The actors in the crew took the ingredients that they had never dared to think of before and sighed, "This meal must cost at least hundreds of thousands, right?"
“If you were to eat out, it would probably be more than that.” The actor who had the good fortune to run around big sets and see the extravagant lifestyles of big stars shook his head.
The cost of ingredients is the cost of ingredients, and if you add service fees and various premiums, the total amount will be far more than that.
Another actor also whispered, "I heard that Chengyu was planning to make us work overtime during the Spring Festival, but it was only after Boss Yang mediated that the matter was dropped."
"Haven't you watched the news before? The benefits of Kuiguang Company are amazing."
"Unfortunately, they only recruit one actor over there."
"Guan Yunpeng, everyone is very envious of you, don't you want to express your admiration?"
“…”
“Drink, drink!”
"I have to drive today, so I'll drink Coke instead of alcohol!"
"cheers!"
…
In order to save face in front of others, Yang Ruoqian booked a private room for himself and ate and drank as much as he wanted. In the end, he did not embarrass himself.
"It's a pity that the company doesn't allow employees to have such extravagant meals... The operations I've done before have already reached the upper limit allowed by the system."
For employee meals, each person is allowed a maximum of one and a half portions, and excessive waste is not allowed.
But with buffets, it's hard to grasp each person's exact appetite and food preferences, so in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of all the food being taken away, it's necessary to prepare more of each ingredient.
So some waste is understandable.
Yang Ruoqian put a piece of fried cod into his mouth. The crispy fish skin and the tender and juicy fish meat mixed together, forming a perfect taste.
"Well, the heat is good... Life is really beautiful."
Just as Yang Ruoqian was enjoying the food, the noisy environment suddenly became quiet, and then, a series of flattering voices came: "Mr. Cheng!"
"Director An!"
"Good evening, screenwriter Xu!"
"How are you, leaders?"
Oh, the leader of Chengyu Media is here?
When we ordered the ingredients before, we included some for Chengyu’s leaders, but they said they would not be here until later today.
"Everyone, you're welcome. It's so cold, eat it while it's hot. It would be a pity if it gets cold."
"The food is delicious. Mr. Yang is quite generous."
"Everyone, sit down, sit down, eat your food, we are here to see Mr. Yang."
"Where is Mr. Yang?"
“…”
Yang Ruoqian was sitting in a private room eating. There was a lot of noise outside and it was very noisy. He couldn't hear clearly what the people from Chengyu Group and the crew were saying.
But there was no need to listen too clearly, Yang Ruoqian could guess that they must be coming to call for punishment.
The ratings of the highly anticipated new drama hit rock bottom, and it was criticized on the Internet. Various video bloggers rushed to denounce it, and it was listed as the worst drama of the year...
And yet, the man who had vowed that his new drama would be a hit, was here hosting a banquet and eating and drinking.
Just by imagining it, Yang Ruoqian could imagine how furious the leaders of Chengyu Group would be, how they would rush into his box, pointing at his nose and cursing at him.
At that time, he would eat the last piece of lamb chop on the plate, wipe his mouth elegantly, then calmly take out the gambling contract from his briefcase and fulfill the compensation agreement promptly...
Wow, that scene, just thinking about it is so cool, he can be called the male protagonist of a cool novel.
Yang Ruoqian was getting impatient.
Sure enough, within two seconds, the door of the box was hastily pushed open, and Xu Lenian, the chief screenwriter outside the door, walked into the box hurriedly without even a greeting.
Yang Ruoqian picked up the mutton from the plate and put it into his mouth without raising his head: "Writer Xu, what's the hurry?"
Come, a storm of rebuke.
Come on, fulfill the compensation agreement.
I'm all set!
Xu Lenian looked excited, and he stood in front of Yang Ruoqian and refused to sit down: "Boss Yang, you are really a genius. I, Xu Lenian, am convinced today. May I ask who is in charge of your company's screenwriting team? I would like to discuss professional knowledge with them in depth."
Well, curse more...
The more you scold me, the happier I am; the more I lose, the happier I am.
Yang Ruoqian nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong and raised his head: "What, what genius?! Explain yourself more clearly."
What the hell? Genius?
Want to discuss professional knowledge with the screenwriter team of Kuiguang Company? Director An Zhou outside the door laughed: "Writer Xu, you are too anxious. Have you forgotten what Mr. Yang said before? That is the company's business secrets."
Cheng Fei couldn't help but nod. Her tense expression relaxed a lot, and a rare smile appeared on her face: "It is really pleasant to cooperate with you Kuiguang. Let's keep in touch in the future."
The success of this project means that her father's blockade of her has failed by half.
How could she not be happy.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I'm too excited." Xu Lenian apologized quickly, looked around, saw a bottle of wine he had never seen before, and without thinking too much, he poured a glass and drank it in one gulp, "I'll drink first to show my respect."
Seeing this scene, Yang Ruoqian had no idea that the crappy drama "The Dragon Son-in-law Who Protects the Nation" that he had put all his effort into writing had become a hit.
And it’s not the kind of fire that ruins the reputation, but a real explosion of fire.
Why?
Old Yang, whose mental age is over 35, roared in his heart! The biggest money-losing project he had been looking forward to collapsed without any warning?
The failed restaurant project has just been turned around, and now the online drama has failed again?
And this thunder is a bit too big...
Judging from the happy looks on the faces of the people in Chengyu Group, the ratings of "Dragon Son-in-law Who Protects the Nation" may not just be a slight increase, but a phenomenal popularity.
Otherwise, considering that only a few episodes have been released, we wouldn’t be celebrating so early.
Finished...
How many loss-making projects will he have to make up for the hit online drama? At least the losses of the restaurant and the anchor are completely wasted - the subsequent income from the online drama will probably be like a sickle, ruthlessly harvesting all of Kui Guang's loss-making projects.
"Ah, haha, haha." Yang Ruo didn't even have an appetite to eat. "Everyone sit down, everyone sit down, eat, eat."
The reason why Yang Ruoqian didn't stand up was that his legs went weak whenever he thought about the astonishing amount of money the company was about to make.
The company may be able to turn from a loss-making state to a profitable state directly because of this project...
The other people in Chengyu Group looked at Yang Ruoqian's forced smile and admired him even more.
Look, this is confidence.
People had long expected this drama to be a hit, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all about this expected result - just like a person who got full marks in the college entrance examination, would he be surprised to receive an admission letter from a certain university?
Obviously not.
In comparison, Chengyu's fuss seemed embarrassing.
"Okay, okay." An Zhou already had some respect for Yang Ruoqian from the bottom of his heart. He nodded repeatedly, "Let's discuss the subsequent IP development while we eat."
