Chapter 74

The person in charge of the construction site was one of the murderers who killed those people. It has been more than a year since the incident, and he has changed from being cautious to being arrogant now.

When he heard that someone wanted to come to their construction site to work, he looked up and down at Wu Gongan and a few others, and after observing their appearance and behavior, he asked them suspiciously: "Why do you come out to find work at the end of the year? Don't you want to go home for the New Year?"

Wu Gongan was hunched over, with a snakeskin bag on his back. He looked like an honest old farmer who came to the city, and spoke in the local dialect: "I only dare to come out to find work during the idle season. I want to earn a little extra money to pay for my children's tuition and give my children a few more pounds of meat to eat during the New Year. I don't know where this is..." He rubbed his hands awkwardly and moved the snakeskin bag on his back: "Boss, you...you still need people? We all have a lot of strength and will do a good job!"

At the end of the year, some workers had to go home, and there was always a shortage of people on the construction site.

The person in charge looked at the others. Among the few people, except for Xiao Chang who was a little younger and looked not so dark, the others were exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and it was hard to tell. He asked them: "What is your relationship?"

"We are all from the same village. This is my eldest nephew." He pulled Xiao Chang, the youngest among the few people, whose skin was not so tender.

Originally, for such undercover work, it is best to have as few people as possible, but this time the criminals were too cruel. Several people killed without saying anything, and did not take human life seriously at all. Moreover, a place like a construction site is suitable for many people to work together. It would be inconvenient if there were fewer people, so several of them came together to find a job.

The person in charge leaned to one side and made a come-in gesture with his chin: "You are lucky to come to my place. I provide food and accommodation here, and the salary is 10 yuan a day. Let me make it clear first, you can only get paid if you do a good job. If anyone tries to cheat me and falls into my hands..."

The person in charge snorted.

Wu Gongan and his men were so scared that they shrank their necks and said repeatedly: "We dare not, we dare not, we will all do our job well."

There were women who cooked on the construction site. They said that they were provided with accommodation, and they were also in the buildings that had been built on the construction site. Large cardboard boxes were laid on the ground, and a few layers of them became beds. The unfinished houses were drafty on all sides, so they used snakeskin bags filled with cement to block the wind. As for whether it would be cold at night, it was not within the scope of these people's consideration.

He called someone and said, "Take them to where they live, put their things down, and come out to work." He

also took a look at what these people brought with them.

He was not worried that these people would find something. If there was something, they could bury it underground and cover it with cement. No one would find it in ten or eight years.

It is very normal to go missing these days.

No. 1 Middle School has exams every week. After the joint exam, the school started weekly exams again in order to get the students back to their normal state as soon as possible.

The teachers deliberately made the test papers difficult because it was the end of the semester and all the courses for this semester had been completed. It was time to review. The teachers put all the content learned in this semester into the test papers for this weekly exam.

As soon as they got the test papers, the students, who had just been happy for a few days, fell into doubt again.

When the weekly test results came out, everyone fell into silence.

They didn't dare to say that the test paper was difficult, because Jiang Xi's results were as outstanding as always. If they said the test paper was difficult, what would the teachers say? Why can Jiang Xi do it but you can't?

Teacher Wang's lips, which had been raised all the time, drooped down, and he looked at them coldly with a gloomy face: "Happy, right? Happy, right? Look at what you did in the exam?"

"Don't think you can relax just because of a small joint exam. Study! There is no time to relax." When he scolded them, his eyes turned to Jiang Xi, and he also warned her not to be arrogant. Seeing that Jiang Xi's expression was as calm as ever, he was satisfied. He turned his eyes and looked at the whole class: "What are you happy about? Did you get first place in the joint exam? Jiang Xi didn't do well, but you did. Look at how you did in this exam!"

"Is the joint entrance examination important? Is the joint entrance examination the college entrance examination? This is just the first step of a long journey. When the college entrance examination comes, you will all be admitted to your ideal universities. You will be very happy then!"

These words calmed down the students in Class 3, who had been feeling a little uneasy. They all lowered their heads and listened to the lecture obediently. Teacher Wang was satisfied and pointed to the bulletin board outside: "If you do well in the exam, just like Jiang Xi, your name will be on the honor roll outside for half a year. !” He snorted and laughed: “Do you think it’s just your name on the honor roll? I tell you, the midterm exam results and final exam results are directly linked to the scholarship!”

He looked at Jiang Wei: “If you want to get a scholarship, it’s useless to just have a joint exam score. The key is still the final exam!” He then said to the other students in the class: “Don’t think that the scholarship has nothing to do with you. Every parallel class has a quota for scholarships!”

The students in Class 3 were stunned. Scholarships also have something to do with their parallel classes?

Seeing their indifferent attitude before, now after hearing that parallel classes can also get scholarships, their ears all stood up, and their eyes stared at Teacher Wang, wanting him to say more.

Teacher Wang did not say that there was only one scholarship quota for a parallel class, but only said that each parallel class had a quota.

This immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the students in the class, especially the top few students in the class who did well in the exam, thinking that they might get a scholarship.

What Teacher Wang did not mention was the source of juice. From the deduction group, the source of juice can be found in the dirty 2275 bar. Most of the students in the parallel classes can get third-class scholarships.

The first-class and second-class scholarships are basically won by the two key classes.

But now, their class has a first-class student in the county, right? Can't they think about the first-class scholarship?

Especially since Jiang Xi ranked in the top ten in her grade in the midterm exam, if she can perform as well as she did in the joint exam in the final exam, she may get the first-class scholarship.

Teacher Wang was excited just thinking about it. If this first-class scholarship was won by a student in their parallel class, it would be a lot of fun. He could smile at the head teachers of the two key classes for a whole year.

The situation in each class is basically the same. After each exam, students have a stage of relaxation. What teachers have to do is to mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning again.

The two key classes are no exception.

The head teacher of Class 1, seeing his students relax, stood on the podium and said, "Are you still laughing? Can you still laugh?" He pointed at Zhang Wenxue and other top students in the grade and said, "Have you all forgotten how you got into No. 1 Middle School? Do you still want to get the first-class scholarship?"

Zhang Wenxue and his classmates were stunned.

At first, the admissions teacher of No. 1 Middle School found their homes directly and told them that if they were willing to study at No. 1 Middle School, not only would they be exempted from tuition, but they would also receive a reward of 1,000 yuan.

That was 1,000 yuan, and many families could not save 1,000 yuan a year.

After that, they will be awarded scholarships every year based on their grades. The first-class scholarship is 500 yuan, the second-class scholarship is 300 yuan, and the third-class scholarship is 100 yuan.

100 yuan is the monthly salary of many factory workers now.

They were all attracted by the bonuses and scholarships given by No. 1 Middle School. The scholarships for the top grade and the top ten in the grade are not the same. Previously, the competition for the top grade was only between Zhang Wenxue and Cheng Yufeng, and at most a few people from Class 2, such as Xing Hongyu and Yao Wenjuan.

Now Jiang Xi suddenly appeared and pressed on them, which made them feel more pressured. It would have been fine if

Zhang Wenxue was a boy. He had good grades and his family valued his studies, so he didn't have the pressure to drop out of school.

But Cheng Yufeng did.

When Cheng Yufeng graduated from junior high school, her family found a way for her to go out to work.

If the admissions teacher of No. 1 Middle School hadn't found her family and said that if she was willing to study at No. 1 Middle School, she would be exempted from tuition and given a scholarship, it would have been difficult for her to go to high school.

It's not difficult for rural girls to study, but it's very difficult for rural girls to go to high school.

The nine years of compulsory education before high school are not expensive. Families who love their daughters a little bit are willing to let their daughters read some books and recognize a few words. However, when they reach high school, not to mention girls, even boys are often asked to work. It is common to see people getting married at around 20 years old. Men and women who are not married after 23 or 24 can be considered old. If they are not married and have no partner after 25, their parents will worry whether their sons will be single for the rest of their lives. When others mention them, they will also think that there is something wrong with them.

Girls are the same. They can get engaged at the age of 17 or 18.

Cheng Yufeng is already 18 years old in virtual age.

In their place, they do not count the age of the whole age, but the virtual age.

Many girls of her age in her village got engaged early and only waited for two years to get married. Some of them got married early and had children by the age of eighteen.

Cheng Yufeng doesn't want to get married. She wants to go to college and get a scholarship.

The scholarship is like a carrot hanging in front of everyone. Everyone stretches their necks, trying to reach the carrot. The teachers are behind them with small whips and whipping them hard, and they run as hard as they can.

As Jiang Bai ran, he found to his confusion that his ranking in the class had improved again. If he continued to improve, he would be among the top three in the class.

It had been a long time since he had entered this ranking. Being so close to the top three in the class, he actually felt like he was in another world.

He thought he didn't care about grades and was only focused on graduating and working.

But after getting this ranking, he realized that he did care.

It turned out that he was just pretending not to care before.

Then he couldn't help but get nervous again. In order to maintain his grades, he must be in the top three in the class next time? And the next time, he must be first or second in the class?

If he gets first in the class and keeps it up, it won't be considered a regression,

right? By the way, even if the class ranking can't be improved, the grade ranking can also show whether he has regressed.

Thinking that his sister can see his ranking in each exam on the next final exam list, Jiang Bo's scalp tightened immediately. He was afraid that if his ranking dropped one time and his sister saw it, she would not let him sell clothes in her store, so he studied harder.

Now, except for one day on the weekend when he has to stay in Jiang Xi's store to sell clothes, the rest of his time is all used for studying. He studies so hard that Tong Jingang, who used to think about playing ball all day, also follows suit.

Tong Jingang was able to be admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so his previous grades were naturally not bad. The reason why he was ranked last in the eighth class was because he didn't work hard and put most of his attention on playing ball and having fun.

"Hehua, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ruan Hong obviously found that Jiang Hehua was a little absent-minded.

Since the joint entrance examination, Jiang Hehua's mind was full of the name that weighed on Song Peifeng's head. Her mind was full of thoughts about whether this Jiang Xi was the one she knew. She wished she could go home immediately and ask Jiang Xi's family clearly.

This made it impossible for her to study at all, and her mind was also wandering during class.

The pace of classes in Wuzhong was fast to begin with, and the pace of key classes was even faster. Jiang Hehua was just distracted, and when she came to her senses, she didn't understand what the teacher had just said. She had to learn it all over again, which made her feel very tired.

She was not a person who would let herself get into trouble. Since she wanted to know, she would ask.

Their school was more strict than No. 1 Middle School. Students were not allowed to go out on weekdays. Even on weekends, these boarding students were still controlled. Where they went, how long they were away, and when they came back had to be clearly written in the entry and exit registration book. She finally got out, but when she got to the gate of No. 1 Middle School, she found that she couldn't get in.

The gatekeeper of No. 1 Middle School seemed to have a pair of sharp eyes. He saw at a glance that she was not a student of their No. 1 Middle School.

The security guard said, "I saw you walking out of the gate of Wuzhong. Don't think that my eyesight is blurry because I'm old. My eyesight is fine!"

Jiang Hehua took two steps back and looked at No. 1 Middle School. She originally wanted to ask the security guard to help her call Jiang Xi out, but after thinking about it, she went back.

Winter vacation is coming soon. She can go back and ask Jiang Xi and she will know.

Jiang Hehua is anxiously waiting for the arrival of winter vacation, but He Xiaofang is afraid of it.

When winter vacation comes, she will have to go home.

She asked the teacher and the dormitory aunt if she could stay at school during the winter vacation.

"Of course you can't. Everyone goes home during the holidays, and I have to go home too!" said the dormitory aunt.

During the winter break, only the senior year students were in class, while the freshmen and sophomores were on holiday. Only the freshmen and sophomores lived in the new dormitory building, while the senior year students lived in the old dormitory building.

Even though He Xiaofang was unwilling, the final exams still came as scheduled.

On the day of the exams, only Jiang Wu and He Xiaofang were left in the dormitory.

Seeing that Jiang Wu had not left, He Xiaofang asked curiously, "Will you go home?"

Jiang Wu was stunned when she heard the word "home".

For a long time, home to her was a house where she was the only one, and it was her safe house.

But it was not home either, because there was no family there.

Thinking of home, Jiang Xi thought of the two houses she bought in Shanghai. She had given them to Manager Qian to help her decorate them. She didn't know how the decoration was going. She also had the property certificates. Now that it was winter vacation, she could go and get them.

She said to He Xiaofang, "I'll stay in the store to look after it."

He Xiaofang was a little jealous.

"During the Chinese New Year, my elder sister and the second elder sister were at home. There were five of us, three sisters, plus my nephew and my niece, lying on one bed." Their bed was 1.5 meters long, so they couldn't sleep in it, so they had to sleep sideways

at night. But He Xiaofang was almost 1.7 meters tall, and she didn't dare to stretch her legs at night. It was cold in winter, and she sometimes fell asleep and stretched her feet out of the quilt, and was woken up by the cold at night.

Her elder sister was driven back by her in-laws, and the two children were not wanted, so they were driven back with her. Her mother was so worried that she sighed all day long at home, crying about her daughter's miserable life, and she didn't want to go back at all.

But she still had to go back.

He Xiaofang had no place to live during the holidays, and Jiang Qi was the same. Grandpa Jiang's house was used by the forest ranger, but now it was occupied by Grandpa and his wife. The store was only big enough to accommodate the small bed that Grandpa Jiang lived in. After leaving the dormitory, Jiang Qing would either rent a new house near the school gate or live in a guest house.

This made her want to go to Shanghai as soon as possible, get the property certificate for her house, renovate it quickly, transfer her household registration there, and leave here, far away.

After Jiang Xiao finished the exam, Grandpa Jiang thought she could go home. Unexpectedly, his granddaughter had no intention of going back. Instead, she said, "Grandpa, you miss home, so go back first. I'm going to Shanghai to participate in the final of the essay competition."

Grandpa Jiang almost forgot about his granddaughter's essay competition, and asked in confusion, "You haven't finished the essay competition yet?"

"Not finished yet. Last time it was the semi-finals, and this time it's the finals. The prize for the finals is fifteen hundred. It's winter vacation now, and I have nothing to do. You can stay there for a few more days. Grandpa, after I finish the competition, I will accompany you to visit Shanghai." Jiang Xiao knew that Grandpa Jiang really liked to see the scenery of big cities.

Even though he helped Jiang Xi run the store during this period, he made a few dozen or twenty yuan every day. When Grandpa Jiang heard that there was a prize of 1,500 yuan, he stood up and said, "Why go home? Come on, Grandpa will accompany you to the competition!"

After taking medicine and eating normally during this period, Grandpa Jiang was finally no longer skinny and had a little more flesh on his body.

Jiang Xi was going to take Grandpa Jiang to Shanghai for a follow-up check.

Seeing that his granddaughter took him to the hospital again, Grandpa Jiang was very puzzled: "Your final prize is still a physical examination?"

He didn't understand why the organizer liked to give people physical examinations so much?

This time, with plenty of time, Jiang Xi arranged for Grandpa Jiang to be hospitalized, hoping to treat some of his old age diseases, and then said he would go to compete.

Grandpa Jiang had lived here before, and was already familiar with the place. He said nonchalantly, "Go and compete, don't worry about me." He also said to himself, "I'm in good health, why do I need you to take care of me? It's not like I can't move in bed."

The old man has always been very independent. His granddaughter stayed in the hospital to take care of him, but he was uncomfortable. He walked around the hospital alone with his hands behind his back, feeling very comfortable.

Jiang Xi took advantage of Grandpa Jiang's hospitalization and went directly to Manager Qian.

Manager Qian had already prepared all the things for Jiang Wei and gave them to Jiang Wei, saying, "Our decoration team has arrived. Do you want to take a look at our model house? Our boss specially invited a foreign designer to design it!"

Many customers were not interested in their houses at first, but when they saw that the model house was designed by a foreign designer, they became curious and went to take a look at it. After seeing the model house, the houses that were originally unsaleable were finally bought.

Jiang Xi signed quickly and took the contract and other materials: "I will go to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to apply for the real estate certificate first. I will come back to take a look after I get the certificate. By the way, Manager Qian, I want to buy a house that can come with a blue-stamped household registration. Do you have any suitable recommendations?"

Manager Qian already knew that this girl was the author of "The Great Song Dynasty". "The Great Song Dynasty" is not only serialized in "Wuxia", but its two published volumes are also very popular. He also bought two copies and put them in the sales office. He would flip through them when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that she would buy a third house so soon after buying two houses. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

At that time, the housing market was still in its infancy, and many laws and regulations were not perfect. In a dozen or twenty years, minors who bought houses had to be accompanied by a guardian and had to pay in full. But now,

this was not necessary. Jiang Xi's bank statements and deposits were all that was needed. After paying a large amount of tax, Jiang Xi finally got the long-awaited real estate certificate, and then returned to Shanghai and followed Manager Qian to see the model house he had renovated.

After half a year of construction, Hudong is still very desolate, but there are more construction sites around, and there is smoke and noise everywhere. Some people who can't afford to buy a house in Huxi want to come to Hudong, but they back off when they see how chaotic Hudong is. Now most of the people who come to Hudong to buy a house are outsiders, who come for the blue-printed household registration.

This is also the case with their community, which is still under construction.

The model house is divided into two floors. The living room is at the entrance. A huge crystal chandelier makes the living room bright and gorgeous. The

living room is large and tall. If the living room is tall, then the area occupied by the upstairs will be smaller, but if you show the house to customers, such a gorgeous European decoration is still very intimidating.

After Jiang Xi took a look at the whole house, she felt that the decoration did not meet her requirements.

It was too gorgeous.

She and Manager Qian returned to the sales office and told Manager Qian in detail about her decoration needs. The first was the shoe cabinet at the entrance.

She said, "This whole wall is made into cabinets. This is the shoe cabinet, and this is the clothes hanging area and the bag storage area."

She lived a simple life in her previous life, and her house only had two rooms. But the smaller the house she lived in, the more she understood the importance of storage.

She especially hated all the things piled up outside, which looked messy. She wished that all the walls in the house were covered with cabinets, and all the things could be stuffed into the cabinets.

She also didn't want the current wardrobe, and told Manager Qian that all the cabinets should be floor-to-ceiling.

The study needs a whole wall of bookcases.

"It would be best if there were a whole wall of French windows here." This would provide good lighting.

Jiang Xi, who had just received the final payment for the publication of the second volume of "The Great Song", was now very rich.

Considering that it was inconvenient for Grandpa Jiang to go up and down the stairs, Jiang Xi wanted to install an elevator. Manager Qian was amazed when he heard this. It was the first time he heard of installing an elevator in a house. It was only two floors, so how could it not be able to climb?

Because she bought the house before December 1, there is no public stall area. The actual area is the same as the area she bought, which is 156 square meters. If it is divided into two floors, excluding the area occupied by the stairs and corridors, the final total area is estimated to be nearly 300 square meters. Considering that there are only two people living in this house, she and Grandpa Jiang, it does not need to be too big. The living room is the same as the model house of Manager Qian and his family, and it is 6.2 meters high. This way people will not feel so depressed. In this way, the total area is only about 267 square meters.

The study, her bedroom, and the cloakroom are all chosen to be placed upstairs. Downstairs are Grandpa Jiang's room, guest room, kitchen, bathroom, storage room, etc.

Because there are only two people living here, the main feature of the room is that it is large. The living room is tall and large, the bedroom is large, and the kitchen is also large.

After that, there are many cabinets. The main point is that everything that can be seen by the eyes can be stuffed into the cabinets.

Manager Qian's whole family is now squeezed into a 38-square-meter house. He has a deep understanding of how messy things are at home.

Originally, he wanted to decorate it like a model house. After all, the big boss specially invited foreigners to design it. It is completely the most popular European style decoration. But after listening to Jiang Xi's description, he was still deeply moved by Jiang Xi's decoration style.

He decided that in terms of the general decoration style, he would still decorate it according to the designer hired by the big boss, but in terms of details, he wanted to decorate his own house according to what Jiang Xi said.

"Leave the cabinet making to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Since he became the sales manager of this community, the sofa factory where his brother-in-law worked has also closed down. After

his brother-in-law lost his job, he had nothing to do, so he hauled wood back and made his own wardrobes.

Unfortunately, the housing market in Shanghai is tight, and the wood his brother-in-law hauled was piled up in the yard. The yard was small and there was no place to put things. But if you don't buy cabinets like Jiang Liu, and build cabinets directly, after the partitions are built and the simple decoration is done, you can let his brother-in-law come to measure the size and send the wood directly to their construction site. In this way, you don't have to worry about having no place to put the cabinets made by his brother-in-law. If there are other customers who want to decorate their houses and build cabinets, they can also contract them to his brother-in-law.

Manager Qian roughly estimated the cost of the renovation. After signing the renovation contract with Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi also paid a part of the money to Manager Qian.

Of course, she would not pay all of it. The balance would be paid after she inspected the quality of the renovation.

Manager Qian was very concerned about her affairs.

Of course, she was concerned, because the houses around were all given a blue-stamped household registration when they bought a house, and the houses were sold very quickly. Their community, because it was an apartment, could not be sold to outsiders. It could only be sold to locals who had a local household registration but had very small houses. However, the unemployed locals did not dare to buy houses, and they were unwilling to buy houses in Hudong. People with jobs were waiting for their units to allocate houses, and they were unwilling to buy houses.

Even with the model houses designed by foreigners, the number of houses sold so far is very small.

Even Jiang Liu, who had bought two houses from him before, thinking that she didn't care about the blue-stamp household registration, now asked him about the house that came with the blue-stamp household registration.

It can be seen how easy it is to sell the house that comes with the blue-stamp household registration.

Those outsiders are not here for the house at all, they are here purely for the household registration.

Manager Qian thought that after renovating Jiang Liu's house and his own house, if there are customers coming to see the house, in addition to the model house, he can also take pictures of his own house and Jiang Liu's house and show them to the customers. They can spend the money for one floor of the house and get the area of ​​two floors of the house directly.

It should be easier for customers to sell the house after seeing the actual decoration.

Because he sells houses himself and knows people who sell houses like him, Manager Qian quickly recommended a community to Jiang Liu.

In Shanghai, there is nothing about the community configuration. Jiang Xi can only buy according to the location. Anyway, this area is the future prosperous center. As long as the developer is reliable, you can buy any house nearby.

The price of commercial housing is much higher than that of apartments. The unit price ranges from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000 per square meter. According to the average price of 2,000 per square meter, a house of 200 square meters only costs 400,000. With the money in Jiang Xi's bankbook, she looked around and directly picked the largest villa to buy.

Yes, the second volume of "The Great Song" is also on the market, a few days before "Justice Bao" is released.

Jiang Xi also received the follow-up manuscript fee for the second volume of "The Great Song", and now her bankbook is very rich.

On the other hand, Li Ang has also been paying attention to the affairs of "Justice Bao". He reads every issue. Now that the finale is finally approaching, he is also afraid that the end of "Justice Bao" will affect the sales of "Wu Xia".

Not only he has such worries, but also Editor-in-Chief Bao. They have all experienced the dilemma of magazines piling up in the warehouse and not being able to sell them.

He called Editor-in-Chief Bao in Guangzhou and said, "Tell the people at the printing factory to reduce the first print run to two million and see the market feedback. If the market response is still the same as before, then slowly increase the print run." Editor-

in-Chief Bao had the same idea as him. Now Li Ang is based in Jinshi, focusing on the northern market. Only she can make decisions in Guangzhou.

In fact, their market forecast was correct. The withdrawal of Justice Bao still caused a decline in the sales of Wuxia magazine, but fortunately, they opened up the northern market. With a larger market, the impact on the magazine was not that great.

Now they hope that the cute Song Dynasty will not end so soon. They have not yet found a phenomenal work that can directly drive the sales of the magazine like Song Dynasty. If Song Dynasty ends, the sales of the magazine may drop again. This also makes Director Li Ang, who has stabilized the market, very anxious.

After the TV series "Justice Bao" was taken off the air, a TV station in the provincial capital replaced it with a new TV series they bought from Hong Kong Island. But perhaps because they didn't choose the right TV series, the ratings of this TV series were far inferior to "Justice Bao". The ratings of the station dropped rapidly. After reaping the huge ratings bonus brought to their station by "Justice Bao", the people in the station were a little anxious about the rapid drop in ratings.

In the director's office, Director Lee paced back and forth anxiously and made a phone call: "What other TV series are there? Where is "Legend of Hong Kong"? Didn't I tell you before that I would buy "Legend of Hong Kong"? The copyright has been bought by Apple TV?"

"Legend of Hong Kong" is a TV series that was just filmed this year and was first broadcast in Hong Kong Island. When Director Lee wanted to buy the mainland broadcasting copyright of this TV series, it had already been bought by another TV station. He had to change to another TV series.

If this continues, their TV ratings will be snatched away by other TV stations.

He pressed another number: "Xiao Qin? How's the second part of "Justice Bao" that you mentioned last time going? How many cases have been released?"

Their station has always wanted to make a self-produced drama. This year, other stations have made two self-produced dramas, and the ratings are very high, especially the Shanghai TV station's self-produced Shanghainese drama "Love Debt", which directly set a high rating of 43%. The copyright was sold out, and major TV stations across the country have dubbed and broadcast this drama. Director Li was very jealous and wanted to make a drama that belonged to their own station.

It's just that they hadn't decided what to shoot before. Now that the ratings of the TV series they bought are so bad, Director Li can't sit still. While "Justice Bao" is still popular, he wants to quickly make the second part of "Justice Bao" so that he can shoot and broadcast it at the same time.

The young man called Xiao Qin quickly went to the director's office upstairs with two books in his hands.
