Zhang Xiaoyu spoke very quickly, and soon came to an end.
"Okay, that's all I wanted to say."
Zhang Xiaoyu began her final summary: "As long as everyone does as I say, Wenxiangju's business will definitely get better and better. In addition to the increase in everyone's monthly salary, bonuses will also become the norm. At that time, the more you work, the more you earn. What do you all think?"
"Great! We'll definitely do as Manager Zhang asks!"
Because Zhang Xiaoyu promised real benefits, it was hard for these guys not to be tempted.
"Alright, in that case, I'll have to trouble everyone from now on! I'll check the accounts first and try to get everyone's monthly wages and bonuses paid as soon as possible!"
"It's not hard at all!"
Next, the group of guys got to work as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jing Zhe with a smile, "Young Master, how are you? Are you alright?"
"It's not just okay, it's absolutely terrible!"
Jing Zhe asked curiously, "How did you come up with this 'more work, more pay' idea?"
"I just feel that if everyone gets the same amount, it's unfair to the person who does the most and the person who does the least. If this continues, who will be willing to do more? So it's better to reward those who work harder and give less to those who do less. Over time, people won't even think about slacking off!"
Hearing this, Jing Zhe sincerely praised Zhang Xiaoyu: "I really didn't expect Xiaoyu to have a talent for business! If I had known this, you should have taken over the winery sooner!"
"It's not too late now..."
Looking at Jing Zhe with her clear, watery eyes, she thought to herself, "If I had taken over earlier, I would never have met you."
"With Xiaoyu's talent, given time, she will surely become the richest businesswoman in Anguo!"
"No, the richest ones will always be the young masters!"
Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes were firm, and it seemed that she had been influenced by Jing Zhe after spending so much time with him, as she began to speak without any humility.
"I don't want to be the richest businesswoman, I just want to be the best businesswoman at making money, even better than that Miss Zhou from Ruzhou!"
Only in this way will I have the courage to stay by your side!
After Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking, she asked another question.
"Does the young master think Xiaoyu is up to the task?"
"Absolutely! I don't know any Miss Zhou from Ruzhou. In my heart, Xiaoyu is the most capable! Besides, I'm here too. We must make Xiaoyu the most capable businesswoman!"
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled sweetly: "Young master is so kind!"
"..."
...
Wenxiangju is considered the newspaper's distribution unit. No matter how good the newspaper is, if the distribution is poor, it's all for nothing.
So when everything at Wenxiangju was arranged, Jing Zhe felt much more at ease.
Leaving Wenxiangju, I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy:
On the road to progress, I've always needed the help of a close female friend, and I feel... it's not bad!
Upon arriving at the newspaper office, a new round of work had already begun.
Because of the good sales today, the printing department has started to print 500 copies of the newspaper urgently, which will be delivered to Wenxiangju tomorrow along with the remaining 500 copies.
The entertainment department has started writing a first draft based on the story Jing Zhe told yesterday. If all goes well, the draft will be completed and submitted to the printing department tonight or tomorrow morning.
The work of the Literature Department was relatively simple; all they had to do was select some of the poems from the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering and put them in the newspaper.
Jing Zhe called Chen Jiannan over and said, "Besides putting up my poems, also put up yours and Song Jimao's."
Chen Jiannan was touched after hearing this: "President Jing... thank you for giving me the opportunity to promote this!"
Newspapers are incredibly popular now, and being featured in one is something many people dream of!
It was only the second issue of the newspaper, and Jing Zhe had already arranged for him to be featured. How could Chen Jiannan not be excited?
Jing Zhe patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Work hard, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future! After all, how can we show how good my poems are if we don't include yours?"
"..."
Seeing Chen Jiannan's embarrassed expression, Jing Zhe laughed twice: "Just kidding. Although your existence is also to highlight me, losing to me isn't shameful, is it?"
Chen Jiannan nodded. He felt much more at ease knowing that Jing Zhe's strength was unmatched and that not everyone could be his opponent.
"That's why I included Song Jimao's poem as well, to use it to highlight you, isn't that better?"
"..."
Speaking of which, Chen Jiannan's poem "If there is no moon tonight, the autumn of the year has passed in vain" at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering is much better than Song Jimao's "How can we know that a thousand miles away, wind and rain accompany the moon?"
Song Jimao and Chen Jiannan didn't get along before. Although Song Jimao is doing very poorly now, he still has the title of the number one talent in Jingzhou, which puts him ahead of Chen Jiannan. That's really impressive!
"Thank you so much, President Jing, for your kindness!"
Chen Jiannan bowed with his hands clasped, clearly pleased.
For the remaining current affairs section, Jing Zhe plans to take the current affairs department to court tomorrow and write down the major events that happen there.
Undoubtedly, the style of the first episode, which was half satirical and half political, was just an isolated case. The current affairs section will eventually become the norm, with articles on the court's policies to benefit the people and the spirit and thought of Emperor An.
Unsurprisingly, this will be the least attractive section of the newspaper, but there's no way around it; that's how politics is when it's being promoted—if it were fun, it wouldn't be politics.
Next is the lifestyle section. Yesterday, we instructed Xiong San to take people out to search for strange and unusual things on the street. At this moment, Zhao Wei was about to take people out when Jing Zhe stopped him.
He pulled a list out of his clothes and handed it to him: "Let's do this first. These people owe Wenxiangju money. Take the IOUs to them and ask for it back. Write down who has paid and who hasn't."
Xiong San took the list and glanced at it, immediately feeling immense pressure.
Because the lowest-ranking officials on this list are all sons of high-ranking officials, not to mention powerful figures like the heir apparent of the Prince of Jin.
"President Jing... is it possible to get this back?"
"Don't worry about whether you want it or not, just go and ask for it. If anyone refuses, write it down and tell me. We call this 'courtesy first, then force.' If they still refuse, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xiong San nodded, ready to bite the bullet and give it a try.
"Wait a minute, let me show you how it works first."
Jing Zhe stopped him, then called Zhao Wei and the Minister of Military Affairs, saying, "Today we'll go to the Duke of Huguo first. One reason is to interview him, as we'll be writing about him in the second installment of the military section. The other is to show the Logistics Department how to collect debts!"
After saying this, he led a large group of people to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
"President Jing, should we go and collect the debt from Yu Haixing?"
Xiong San flipped through the ledger and asked.
"Yes, that's him!"
Yu Haixing owes Wenxiangju two hundred taels. If we don't ask him for it now, who will we ask for it from when he returns to Ruzhou?
Upon hearing that it was indeed him, Xiong San rubbed his hands excitedly: "If it's that kid, then President Jing doesn't need to set an example... just stand by and support me!"
"..."
