Chapter 33 Holiday
These days, Jiang Ningyue's days are very repetitive. She goes out for interviews in the morning, dances at noon, writes manuscripts or rests in the afternoon, and composes music in the evening.
Soon it was the 29th.
Early in the morning, Jiang Ningyue had no interview assignment today. She was browsing Douyin in the office and chatting with her colleagues when suddenly a notification came in the work group.
This month, our station's video, "Drunk Driving Check: Driver's Vivid Expression of Unwavering Inner Feelings, Even a Little Laughable," released on new media platforms like Douyin, has garnered over 100 million views online, with 1.5 million likes on Douyin alone. "Store Offers Free Drinks, Woman Demands Compensation," has also garnered over 100 million views online and over 1 million likes. "Live Report: Donghe City's Xinding Drainage River Reaches Warning Line!" has garnered over 500 million views online and 3.8 million likes! Following deliberation by the station's Party Committee and Editorial Board, we have awarded special rewards of 20,000 yuan to reporters: Nian Sisi, Jiang Ningyue, Tian Jun, and Liu Jiawen. We encourage reporters from all departments to actively explore new media landscapes and release more viral videos.
At the same time, a form is also attached, which clearly states the rewards for publishing videos on new media platforms.
The minimum is '50' yuan, the maximum is '10,000 yuan'.
Basically, if the video gets 10,000 likes, it will get a 500 yuan bonus. However, it is difficult to reach 20,000. It seems that the rewards for Jiang Ningyue and others are really a lot of money.
"Wow? Twenty thousand dollars?"
The colleague sitting next to Jiang Ningyue couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Sure, Xiaoyue, you have to treat us when you get your salary!"
This kind of colleague is the most disgusting. They may have a good relationship with you normally, but one word from them out of the blue can make you feel annoyed.
With over a hundred people in the department, a dinner party would cost at least a few thousand yuan, and at most tens of thousands. And when it comes to dinner parties, you need to invite people individually so they won't even consider you. If you invite so many people at once, they won't even bother to talk to you, and instead will just sit around and chat with people they know.
Jiang Ningyue smiled and tried to get away with it, but she didn't expect Tian Jun to get angry.
"What kind of guests are you inviting?"
Tian Jun, who was about to go to the interview with his camera, immediately responded when he heard this. "Xiaoyue and I went to shoot in the pouring rain. Xiaoyue even had a high fever and stayed home for several days because of this news. How dare you ask her to treat us? How about this, you come with me tonight and I'll treat you."
Looking at Tian Jun's fat face, how could the female colleague dare to let him treat her alone? So, the colleague said with an embarrassed look on her face, "I was just joking, Jun brother, don't be angry."
"Old Tian, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Director Chen walked in with a helpless look on his face. He said something to Old Tian, then looked at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiaoyue, come to my office."
"oh."
Jiang Ningyue followed Director Chen into the office. After closing the door, Director Chen looked at Jiang Ningyue and said, "Xiaoyue, the editorial committee leaders mean that you dominated the three videos awarded this time. So it's not fair to only reward you with 20,000 yuan. Therefore, your salary this month will have a 60,000 yuan after-tax bonus."
"Wow, thank you, boss."
Jiang Ningyue was indeed pleasantly surprised. After all, who would complain about having too much money?
"But don't advertise it everywhere."
Director Chen said slowly, "If someone asks, just say it's a 20,000 yuan bonus."
"clear."
After leaving the director's office, Jiang Ningyue felt much happier. Who said the salaries at the TV station were low? Aren't the salaries here very high?
At 4 pm the next day, Jiang Ningyue packed her things and prepared for her National Day holiday.
I received a text message on my phone - my salary has arrived!
Seeing the salary of more than 70,000 yuan, Jiang Ningyue felt very emotional.
This is Jiang Ningyue’s first legal income after traveling through time for so long!
This feeling was really indescribable. She took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Meng.
[Mengmeng! I got my salary, let's go out for dinner!]
[Hello, Hello!]
Gu Meng's reply was also very quick, "I'll wait for you at the entrance of your office now."
【OK! 】
After getting off work, Jiang Ningyue saw a blue Mercedes-Benz E parked in front of her workplace and ran over. She opened the door and got in. "I got my salary. Guess how much it is?"
"How much?" Gu Meng looked at Jiang Ningyue curiously.
"Guess."
"Twenty thousand?"
"Seventy-six thousand!"
"Wow!"
Gu Meng sighed, "You journalists' salaries are also very high."
"Hey, there's a bonus of over 50,000."
"Why are there still zeros and whole numbers?"
"Because we have to pay taxes. It's 60,000 before tax." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile.
“Do I still have to pay taxes?”
Gu Meng was amazed. "We in the entertainment industry all use yin and yang contracts. The public salary is 200,000 yuan, which is used to pay taxes, and the other 500,000 yuan is transferred privately."
"Ah? Isn't this a clear case of tax evasion?" Jiang Ningyue was stunned.
"Oh, that's the basic operation."
Gu Meng said nonchalantly, "We actors pay nearly 40% tax! Who can bear that? Someone calculated for me that I have to pay more than 200,000 yuan in taxes on my 700,000 yuan salary. Oh my god, it sounds scary!"
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment. She knew that many celebrities in her past lives had faded out of the entertainment industry, or even faced lawsuits and imprisonment, due to tax evasion and being "named and praised." Jiang Ningyue didn't want Gu Meng to end up like this, so she advised:
"I've heard the country is cracking down on tax evasion in the entertainment industry. Don't let them catch you. I advise you to register the 500,000 yuan as incidental income. Or maybe try to avoid taxes and donate some money."
"Is this true?"
If an ordinary person said this, Gu Meng would certainly not believe it, but Jiang Ningyue was a reporter from the provincial TV station and was considered well-informed by many people, so Gu Meng naturally believed it.
"Can I harm you?" Jiang Ningyue said with a stern face.
"Oh well."
Gu Meng nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the tax bureau to register."
"After National Day, I'll take a day off to go with you."
"Okay, I'll definitely go!"
Because they got to work a little early, they didn't have to stay stuck in traffic for too long and arrived at the pedestrian street in the city center and came to a specialty store.
"This store is newly opened. I saw some good reviews on Douyin." Gu Meng and Jiang Ningyue introduced.
Jiang Ningyue was not very interested in this kind of Internet celebrity store, but Gu Meng was interested, so she accompanied her.
The waiter in the restaurant guided the two to choose a seat. Since they had arrived early, there were still many seats available. Jiang Ningyue looked around and pointed to a seat in the corner, saying, "Sit there. It's quiet."
At this time, a young man came over and said with a smile: "Two beauties, please sit by the window. I'll give you a discount."
Gu Meng looked the man up and down and couldn't help but frowned, "Why? You want to control where I sit?"
"no."
Seeing that the two were a little unhappy, the young man quickly explained, "I'm here because you're good-looking! Sitting by the window is more effective than my advertising, so I'll give you two a free meal."
"Let's go." Gu Meng smiled and pulled Jiang Ningyue to sit by the window.
Jiang Ningyue was helpless, "Didn't I say it was my treat?"
"It's not good to give you a free meal." Gu Meng laughed, "It's a good deal, why not take advantage of it?"
Gu Meng was used to this kind of inexplicable privilege or preferential treatment, but Jiang Ningyue felt very uncomfortable. She always felt like she owed someone a favor.
Seeing Jiang Ningyue's awkward expression, Gu Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry, accepting a free meal doesn't mean we owe them a favor."
“…”
Jiang Ningyue slowly raised her head with a complicated expression.
This formula looks so familiar.
