"I don't know why. It was fine just now, but it turned like this after I delivered the flowers."
"You're something else. Giving roses is a bit tacky, but why did you give agapanthus? How many girls even know what that is these days?"
"I'm telling you, you're not a man."
"I would send roses and agapanthus together."
"If you still can't win her heart, I think even if you dig out your heart and liver, she might still not like you."
Li Dongyang glanced at Zhou Hao.
"So you've only been playing around until now. Be careful, one day you might run into a scumbag woman and get swindled out of your money and your body and soul."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen to me, Zhou Hao."
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "If you walk the dark road too much, you'll eventually capsize."
"Then let's wait until it's flipped before we talk about it."
After returning to the residential area, Li Dongyang chatted with Zhou Hao for a while before taking a shower.
I happened to run into Xia Nuan opening the door when I came out.
When Zhou Hao saw Xia Nuan arrive, he rubbed his slightly messy hair, put the noodles back on the stove, gave Li Dongyang a meaningful look when he came out, and then made an excuse to go out. Before leaving, he whispered to Li Dongyang that he was going to see a friend that night and would not be back until the next morning.
This left Li Dongyang somewhat dumbfounded.
Of course, Xia Nuan overheard these words.
Her pretty face flushed slightly.
After Zhou Hao left, the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment became unusually quiet.
Only Xia Nuan and Li Dongyang remained, staring at each other.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Dongyang rubbed his hair with a towel and said, "I'll go blow-dry my hair first."
"So you're serious about tonight?"
Just as Li Dongyang reached the bathroom door, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Are you serious?
Xia Nuan placed the agapanthus that Li Dongyang had given her that evening on the table, her face beaming with barely suppressed joy.
Her big eyes and eyelashes fluttered.
"So you rushed here for this?"
Before Li Dongyang could even come to his senses...
Xia Nuan's lips were already pressed against his.
It's sweet, super sweet.
A full minute passed before Xia Nuan finally relented.
"I'll accept the flowers."
"Whether you agree or not depends on your future performance."
By the time Li Dongyang came to his senses, the door was already closed.
So Xia Nuan kissed him on her own initiative just now?
Li Dongyang stretched out his slender fingers and touched his lips.
A towel was hanging on his head.
He was still savoring the kiss Xia Nuan had just given him.
Did she come here specifically to respond to him?
What does the following sentence mean? It depends on your performance.
Taking advantage and then acting innocent?
Then she took off the towel and went to the bathroom to dry her hair with a hairdryer.
She laughed while blow-drying her hair.
She was smiling so brightly.
This woman is really good for nothing except being pretty.
That's just being a bit righteous.
Be kind-hearted.
Keep your mind simple.
It's a little sweet when you kiss it, but otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much else.
And so a week passed.
Work on Monday.
As soon as they arrived at the company, Qin Shuang called Li Dongyang to her office.
Upon arriving at the office, Li Dongyang found his teacher Zhang Wenbing there, the production manager Li Songbai there, and the filming crew leader Qu Hengsheng there as well.
In their old saying, when so many senior executives of the company gather together, it's either because of personnel changes or because there's big news.
Within days of Qin Shuang taking office, many employees resigned and left after filming a series of photos.
They thought that doing this would affect the company's operations, but they overestimated their power.
Qin Shuang didn't try to persuade them to stay; she simply signed the resignation letter, told them to complete the handover, and that they could leave immediately.
Aside from the two veterans, Qu Hengsheng, although experienced, is still a newcomer since he hasn't been in the Extraordinary for long.
As for Li Dongyang, he is still considered a newcomer in the company.
Therefore, he usually remains silent when his seniors are speaking, unless he is asked to speak.
After all, this is a company, not a school, and not a place for me to steal the spotlight.
Zhang Wenbing was wholeheartedly cultivating Li Dongyang because he was a man of moderation and tact, and was destined for great things.
After Li Dongyang took his seat, Qin Shuang, the company's top leader, spoke.
"It's not that I can't live without you. The project is nearing its end. I called everyone here today to discuss next year's plans."
"The main purpose is for everyone to exchange ideas."
Everyone except Qin Shuang was somewhat surprised.
This woman had only been with the company for three days, plus two days of vacation—to be precise, she had only been there for one day—and Wang Jiansheng fired her without even trying to keep her.
I don't know what they're planning to do by calling them over here.
Everyone has their own internal scale.
Previously, senior leaders would be observed for a week before joining the company, but Qin Shuang was a maverick who started working on her very first day in office.
Before this entire company, the process was simply assigning tasks and then carrying them out.
This is the first time we've had a regular meeting on a Monday morning.
Sometimes I really can't understand what this woman is thinking.
However, listening to the opinions and coordinating with various departments should be a good thing; otherwise, the kind of thing that happened with Producer Li and Wang Jiansheng will happen again.
The higher-ups approve it, but the lower-ups don't implement it, leading to conflicts and infighting.
Among them, Li Songbai was the most senior, and he took the lead in asking, "President Qin, what instructions do you have for calling us here for a meeting so early Monday morning?"
Qin Shuang smiled at Li Songbai upon hearing this, "It's nothing serious. I just have a suggestion. It's been almost two months since the drama 'Winter Sunshine' aired, but its popularity hasn't waned. Could we take advantage of this time to create one or two sitcoms tailored to this short drama?"
"Now that the internet is so developed, almost everyone has a mobile phone. Compared to TV dramas, I think web dramas have a better future. Of course, that doesn't mean TV dramas are unimportant."
"It's just a comparison between the two; the potential for internet development is much greater."
"We can take advantage of the buzz surrounding this short drama to create a standalone segment and establish a unique brand image for our company."
What do you guys think?
Compared to her imposing manner towards Wang Jiansheng on Friday, Qin Shuang seemed much more approachable this time, which surprised the group of them.
Based on experience, even if they just ride the wave of previous popularity, they should still be able to generate hundreds of millions of views.
Zhang Wenbing and Li Songbai had considered it before, but they didn't bring it up because of the short production cycle of web series.
Furthermore, in recent years, major TV stations have produced quite a few short dramas, but none of them have generated much buzz, so they have given up on the idea.
"My suggestion is to finish filming this short drama this year, and start shooting directly next year. What do you think?"
"Li Dongyang, is there anything wrong on your end?"
Li Dongyang looked up when he heard Qin Shuang call his name.
"So you're asking me to write a spin-off series with warm sunshine in winter and sweet moments in summer?"
Qin Shuang nodded. "That's roughly the idea. So, do you have any problems on your end?"
"If there are no problems, I would like to see the outline of the extra chapter this Friday."
Qin Shuang's idea for a follow-up hit product was immediately approved by Zhang Wenbing and Li Songbai.
