Chapter 451 The Sound of Heartbreak

On the afternoon of the second day, Boss Shen wandered around the visitor center again as expected.

Jiang Qi had already heard from Jiang Cha about the results of Boss Shen's wandering yesterday. Boss Shen was indeed looking for someone, but it seemed that he didn't even know who he was looking for.

Employees in the office area usually get off work at 5 p.m., but because the staff cafeteria only opens at 5:30, everyone usually stays in the office for a while. Either they chat and play on their mobile phones, grab some time to catch up on some last minute work, and rush to the cafeteria at 5:30.

The distance between the office area and the cafeteria is not far, about a 10-minute walk. Meal starts at 5:30, and the dishes are ready around 5:40. Except for a few who are in a hurry, most employees will leave the office at 5:30 and go home after eating.

If you have a wife/husband or children at home, if you swipe your meal card twice more, you can pack a few more meals to take home. However, the cafeteria does not provide take-out boxes, so you have to bring your own lunch boxes.

Yesterday afternoon, when the employees in the office area were going to the cafeteria, Boss Shen quietly approached and eavesdropped. He didn't know what he was eavesdropping on. Because he followed so closely and blended into the dining queue, some people thought Boss Shen was a newcomer and asked him which department he was from and why they hadn't seen him in the cafeteria before.

If Boss Shen were a spy, he probably wouldn't survive the opening scene.

Today, Boss Shen came downstairs to squat as an agent again.

In order to prevent being discovered, Boss Shen even put on a hat and changed clothes, but it seemed to be of no use, because Jiang Qi saw Boss Shen wearing a hat at a glance when he was standing at the window drinking ginseng tea.

"Have you written down Boss Shen's core plot? You're so free." Jiang Qi looked at Boss Shen sneaking downstairs and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Core plot? What core plot? Boss Jiang, are you planning to write a mystery book yourself?" Jiang Jun's slightly confused voice came from the computer with a bright screen on his desk.

Jiang Qi is having a conference call with Jiang Jun.

"It's okay." Jiang Qi leaned against the window and looked at Boss Shen downstairs and said calmly, "Sister Jun, please continue."

"Oh, the first batch of shipments of "Meet Again" and "Class Reunion Murders" have all been shipped. Due to errors at the printing factory, the second batch of shipments may be delayed by 6 days. According to feedback from some stores, Although there are no pirated versions of these two books on the market yet, there are already pirated txts on the Internet. It is estimated that the pirated versions will be available in half a month at the latest. Boss Jiang, do you think we should take some measures to... …”

"Leave the matter of piracy to us. When the pirated products come on the market, we will be notified as soon as possible, and the law firm we cooperate with in the amusement park will solve the problem." Jiang Qi said.

He Lu has been preparing for it for a long time. The amusement park has been cooperating with He Lu's law firm for more than a year. Although they have not encountered a few major lawsuits that require prosecution, they cannot handle the large number of patents and the large volume. For more than a year, During the period, He Lu's law firm made a lot of money.

Having a long-term, stable and generous client is great for the development of a law firm. Nowadays, all the interns in He Lu's law firm are experienced in writing patent materials, and they only need a few real-life battles.

At the amusement park, it can be said that the chefs, kitchen helpers, kitchen knives, seasonings, and auxiliary materials are all ready, just waiting for the pirates of the main ingredients to get involved.

"Okay." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Jiang Jun's voice. She had been running a store for so many years. First, she hated fellow pirates, secondly, she hated pirate merchants, and thirdly, she hated garbage distribution. Now that pirate merchants have stepped down, of course she has to follow. A stick of incense.

"One more thing, the organizer of the Qianzhou Exhibition to be held in Qianzhou next month wants to invite us to participate in the exhibition."

"Participate in an exhibition?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised that the organizer of other small exhibitions would invite Xinghe to participate in the exhibition. The two books Jiang Qi sold this time were both boxed, and "We Meet Again" has sold tens of thousands of copies. There is no need to participate in the exhibition.

In terms of fame, it is estimated that there will be no more famous book than "Meet Again" in the past few months. Click on Xiaoshu and Douyin's script recommendations. As long as the emotional book is recommended, "Meet Again" must be included, and the mystery book must be "Class Reunion Murder".

These two new books with a score of 90 or above are completely indiscriminate in today's market.

"The other party is quite sincere and promises to cover all travel expenses, food and accommodation. If 1,000 copies are not sold during the exhibition, the organizer will make up the difference."

"What's the request?" Jiang Qi didn't believe that the organizer of the Qianzhou Exhibition was doing charity. Feng Zhiqiu was the head fan of Galaxy, and it was impossible to lose money and do charity at this time.

"We have to cooperate with them in carrying out activities."

Jiang Qi frowned: "I remember we promised during the Autumn Exhibition that the price would be the lowest at the Autumn Exhibition and we would never lower the price in a few years."

"It's not a price reduction." Jiang Jun quickly explained, "It's a combination sale. Buy "Meet Again" for +99 yuan to get a random boxed script, +199 yuan for a designated boxed script, and +999 yuan for a random city with authorized quotas. .”

Jiang Qi understood: "Clearing the warehouse, right?"

It can be seen from the fact that pirates sell a box set for RMB 50 with free shipping that the cost of the script is not high. If you have too many scripts that you can’t sell, it’s better to find an opportunity to clear them out and sell them than to pile them up and let them rot.

Especially for those bankrupt publishers that have stopped doing distribution and are changing careers. A bunch of scripts are lost in the warehouse and are just sitting there taking up space. It is still expensive to rent a warehouse. It is of course the best to organize activities to clear the warehouse.

"It sounds okay. You and Cao Luoping can go if you are interested. If you still want to be publishers in the future, it will be good for you to attend more exhibitions." Jiang Qi agreed.

"Okay, to be honest, my old Cao wants to go. I'm afraid you won't like it, Boss Jiang." Jiang Jun joked with a smile, "I don't have anything else to do here, so I'll hang up first and won't disturb Boss Jiang." You work."

"Wait." Jiang Qi called out to Jiang Jun, "Tell Li Liang to find out the contract he signed before and read it to make sure the bank card number is correct. Sister Jun, please make sure too. I will call you tomorrow." money."

Jiang Jun:!

The full payment for her wedding room is about to arrive!

"Okay!" Jiang Jun's voice was filled with the joy of getting rich. It was one thing to calculate how much money he could get before, but it was another thing to wait for the money to actually be transferred to his account.

Money is only considered money if it actually appears in your own card. What appears in other people's cards is just numbers.

"Remember to pay taxes." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lao Cao and I have always abided by the law. We will never pay a penny less in taxes!"

Jiang Qi walked to the computer and hung up the voice call.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qi discovered that Wang Xinghua had sent her a long list of messages, all of which were forwarded chat records between Wang Xinghua and Yang Chaoge.

The last message is——

Boss, to live up to expectations, I talked about a 41% share! ! !

Jiang Qi: Very good, add chicken legs tonight.

Jiang Qi sat down and looked carefully at the chat history sent by Wang Xinghua, and found that it was all about her and Yang Chaoge's battle of wits and courage. They were doing bad things while taking advantage of others. Wang Xinghua negotiated the price to a 41% share, and the other party also had conditions.

The attendance rate in the first three games cannot be lower than 60%. If the attendance rate is lower than 60%, the share will remain unchanged at the previous 35%.

The performance time has also been finalized, with three performances in three days from November 19th to 21st. As Feng Ling expected, Yang Chaoge was betting on whether "The Legend of the Princess" would be a hit in Shanghai, so he deliberately did not mention whether the follow-up would continue. Act or terminate.

Not to mention Yang Chaoge, Wang Xinghua also pretended to be stupid. Both of them are masters of writing tricks.

In face-to-face negotiations, Wang Xinghua is definitely not as good as Huang Fugui and Principal Peggy. But in online negotiations, Wang Xinghua, who was influenced by her father and started her career by writing articles in third-rate tabloids, is definitely a good player.

Jiang Qi closed the computer with satisfaction.

It's 5:18 now.

Theoretically, it has been 18 minutes since I got off work, but there are still 12 minutes left before I actually get off work.

Boss Shen was still hanging around underneath.

Jiang Qi started to drink the last cup of ginseng tea.

At 5:29, Jiang Cha called Jiang Qi: "Today's soup in the cafeteria is stewed pork ribs with morels. The pork ribs are a mixture of bacon ribs and fresh pork ribs. The morels and bacon ribs are both cooked by Uncle Huang in the live broadcast room I bought it here, and the soup is limited to one serving per person. Are you going to eat in the cafeteria or in the pub tonight?"

Jiang Qi: "...That must be the canteen. What do you do with this?"

"Kuaikaa is in my office. I want to ask him a question by the way." Jiang Cha hung up the phone and looked at Kuagua who was standing on his desk with a troubled face, "Is it really not possible?"

"Miss Jiang Cha, this is not an ingredient but a medicinal material. If you make American ginseng slices into desserts, I'm afraid that the medicinal properties will be lost." Kua Kua scratched his head in distress, feeling that he had encountered a huge challenge in his cooking career, "How about I... try it? ?”

Jiang Cha suddenly smiled: "Thank you very much. When the new ginseng slices arrive, I will give you two more cans. You can take this one back and try it."

Kua Kua teleported away while holding the ginseng piece in his arms, feeling distressed while teleporting.

I already have one jar from Mr. Huang, and now Miss Jiang wants to send two more jars. How can I eat so many ginseng slices?

Kua Kua said that even if he was a goblin with a rather peculiar taste, he would not like to eat such bitter food.

Sweet, sour, salty and spicy is acceptable.

Kua Kua returned to his small kitchen and looked at the ginseng slices in his hand.

"Bitter...dessert..."

He boasted and drooped his ears, making trouble.

At the same time, Jiang Qi was walking towards the canteen with the eating group.

Jiang Qi walked at the end of the team. The employees were already not surprised when they saw his boss going to the cafeteria to eat. However, walking with the boss was a bit stressful, so there was no one around Jiang Qi.

Boss Shen blended in like yesterday and listened with all his ears.

Jiang Qi was surprised. According to Boss Shen's pattern of asking for information, how many days would it take him to get useful information?

Which employee still talks about work after get off work?

They must be gossiping, talking about the food in the canteen, and talking about what Huang Fugui bought recently to contribute to the market.

Jiang Qi quietly approached Boss Shen.

The hand was raised slightly.

Patted Boss Shen on the shoulder.

"Boss Shen, what a coincidence, we come out for dinner."

At this time, the benefits of having a bad face all year round come to the fore. Even though he was caught and was quite scared, Boss Shen didn't show it on his face. He still looked expressionless and forced a smile.

"Come out for a walk." Boss Shen said.

"I saw you, Boss Shen, downstairs yesterday. Are you looking for someone?" Jiang Qi asked sincerely.

Sincerity is the eternal surefire.

Jiang Qi asked so straightforwardly that he caught Boss Shen off guard. For a moment, there was no other excuse in his mind and he blurted out uncontrollably: "Yes, I'm looking for someone."

After saying that, Boss Shen wanted to slap himself.

Jiang Qi continued to look at Boss Shen with a sincere face: "Who are you looking for? Boss Shen, you actually have friends who work in our amusement park. Just tell me and I will contact you."

Boss Shen:......

Boss Shen knew that he, who had written countless mystery books, was now forced into a desperate situation.

It's not that I can't make up a reason, it's just that I don't have time yet.

"I want to talk to the writer who wrote the script for Taiping Town in your amusement park." Boss Shen also used the special skill of sincerity.

Jiang Qi was choked by Boss Shen's sincere answer.

"The one who wrote the Taiping Town script?" Jiang Qi subconsciously glanced at Huang Fugui in front of him who was listening to the live broadcast on headphones and occasionally looking at the screen of his mobile phone to appreciate the latest goods. "Do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I just admire him, so I want to get to know him."

At this moment, Boss Shen has broken the pot. If you want to be sincere, then be sincere to the end.

Jiang Qi:......

Jiang Qi thought for a while: "Then...Boss Shen, why don't you go to the staff cafeteria with me for a meal, and I can introduce you during the meal?"

Boss Shen looked surprised. If there was a value on his head at this moment, it would probably be Jiang Qi's favorability plus 30 points.

"May I?"

"Of course." Jiang Qi said. Although Huang Fugui couldn't show his face in front of the public if he wanted to get three stars, it would still be no problem to meet one or two friends.

Boss Shen followed Jiang Qi to the employee canteen with excitement. He was thinking about what the opening remarks should be when he met his idol later, and then he was shocked by the dishes in the amusement park employee canteen.

The dishes served for dinner today are: stir-fried vegetables, steamed pumpkin, eggplant with oil, steamed black truffle egg, stir-fried bamboo fungus with okra, stir-fried yellow beef, roast pork with potatoes, fried sea fish, glutinous rice blood sausage, pan-fried glutinous rice cake and lamb tripe Mushroom-braised pork ribs (limited to one serving per person).

Boss Shen:?

Is this a normal employee canteen recipe?

"Boss Jiang, do your employees have meals..."

Before Boss Shen finished speaking, Master Bai's head popped out of the food window: "Boss, can you tell Supervisor Huang to stop buying black truffles? Even if you buy them, you can't just eat them yourself. Send it to the canteen. We don’t have a cook here who knows how to cook black truffle dishes. I’ve been eating black truffle steamed eggs every day for more than half a month, and I really can’t eat them anymore.”

Boss Shen:? ? ?

Jiang Qi said earnestly and sincerely: "Master Bai, you also need to study more and not rest on your laurels."

Master Bai:?

He is just a freelance chef, and he learns how to cook truffles.

How to study? Wrap two slices in the shaomai and steamed buns for breakfast?

Boss Shen followed Jiang Qi to finish the dishes with a look of doubt on his life.

The two of them sat down opposite Huang Fugui with their plates in hand. Huang Fugui was wearing headphones and didn't pay attention to what was going on opposite him.

"Uncle Huang." Jiang Qi patted Huang Fugui's hand. Huang Fugui looked up and saw Jiang Qi hurriedly taking off his earphones. He took off the earphones a little too hard and pulled the cord, and the sound of the phone was instantly played out.

"Brother Fugui, what do you want to order today? The white radish today is very juicy, as well as dried radish, dried fruit, and dried fish. Brother Fugui, didn't you say you wanted to buy persimmons last time? I found a particularly good one for you. Yes, do you want to try a few dozen kilograms?"

Huang Fugui calmly muted his cell phone and said with a smile: "Boss, do you like persimmons? If you like it, I'll buy more."

As he spoke, Huang Fugui rubbed his ears: "Strange, I seemed to hear something just now."

Jiang Qi glanced at Boss Shen's cracked expression and said calmly: "It's probably the sound of an idol's disillusionment."

Although Jiang Qi didn't know how Boss Shen imagined Huang Fugui, it was definitely not like this.

Alas, blind worship is unacceptable.
