Chapter 27 Nightless Hou
“Xu Jinzhi added you as a friend—accept/reject”
“Wu Xuan added you as a friend—accept/reject”
“Zhang Qiang adds you as a friend—accept/reject”
…”
Lin Zhibai currently only has about twenty friends on Fetion.
Except for his family and a small number of childhood playmates, the only people left who had recently collaborated were Lin Shouzhuo and Zhang Xiyang. However, he did not refuse this wave of enthusiasm from his freshman classmates.
Lin Zhibai agreed to all those who had just added him as friends through the class group.
As for the slightly strange looks in the class, Lin Zhibai didn't notice it. He was still thinking about the spokesperson.
ten minutes later.
The counselor has arrived.
The counselor is a woman in her thirties. She is not very beautiful, but she has a cheerful personality. She smiled and joked with everyone when she entered the classroom: "My surname is Zhou. You can call me Teacher Zhou. Of course, you can call me Teacher Zhou in private." It’s okay to have a nickname, but it’s better to choose something nicer.”
Everyone laughs.
Then the counselor took a roll call and talked about the military training that would take place in a few days. Finally, he talked about the issue of university dormitories, "There is only one student in our class who is a day student, and the others live on campus. Everyone must Observe the dormitory rules, turn off the lights on time and go to bed early at night..."
Lin Zhibai is the only day student.
Qin Yi requires first-year students to live on campus as much as possible, but Lin Zhibai's family has given them permission, so they have gone through the procedures for day study. It is not considered a privilege. The university also allows some students to live on campus, but they only need the signature of their parents.
After school.
Other students went back to the dormitory together, while Lin Zhibai went directly back to his residence.
Since the distance was not too far, Lin Zhibai decided to walk to and from school every day.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. Lin Zhibai had already made a decision in his mind after careful consideration on how to choose a spokesperson.
Taking out his cell phone, Lin Zhibai called Jiang Cheng.
“Mr. Lin.”
Jiang Cheng answered the phone quickly: "Hello."
Lin Zhibai asked: "Do you have time to chat now?"
Jiang Cheng quickly said: "Okay, where can we meet?"
“Come to my place.”
Lin Zhibai reported his address directly.
Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng arrived at Lin Zhibai's residence.
Lin Zhibai invited the other party into the living room, and the two sat at the tea table.
“Mr. Lin…”
“It’s time for you to change your name to calling me boss.”
Lin Zhibai took his time and made a cup of tea for the other party.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did I pass the interview?"
"Um."
Lin Zhibai said: "There will be a three-month probation period, and the salary is 100,000 yuan per month. If you can become a full-time employee, the salary can be increased further."
“Then what is my job?”
Jiang Cheng is very satisfied with the benefits of this job, but until now, he still doesn’t know what he wants to do.
“This is more complicated to say.”
Lin Zhibai said: "You can understand that you are working for me personally."
"good!"
Jiang Cheng asked: "What is my job content?"
Lin Zhibai said: "I have a short story to publish, but I don't want anyone except you to know that this novel is my work."
The novel Lin Zhibai is about to release is "The Human Chair".
This novel is relatively short, with a total of more than 10,000 words. Lin Zhibai had already written it yesterday. Publishing it earlier will help gain fame earlier.
“It can be arranged this way.”
Jiang Chengdao: “We set up a small studio so that we can have a public account, and then we can submit in the name of the studio without leaking any of your private information.”
Jiang Cheng had countless doubts in his heart.
This young boss is very mysterious, and his identity is probably not simple. He only needs to do things according to the other party's instructions. As long as it is not illegal, for the sake of the basic salary of 100,000 yuan, everything else is not a problem. "good."
Lin Zhibai said: "Then it's up to you to do the specific operations. If you need my cooperation, tell me directly."
Jiang Cheng nodded: "The legal person of the studio must use my name. If you sign an additional confidentiality contract with me, you can become the actual boss. In addition, since you don't want to disclose information, you can get a pen name."
Penname?
Lin Zhibai pondered slightly.
Bai Di can no longer be used. This is a public identity.
At this time, Lin Zhibai saw that the tea in front of him was steaming slightly, and suddenly an idea came to him.
“Nevernight Hou.”
Zhan Ya's old surname is Yu Gan, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Nightless Nights when he broke his sleep.
As the saying goes, drinking real tea makes people less sleepy, so tea is known as "Never Night Hou".
Lin Zhibai had the habit of drinking tea, so he simply used the elegant name of tea as his pen name.
Jiang Cheng didn’t know that this was an elegant name for tea. He just felt that the name was a bit imposing, like the title of an ancient prince. He couldn’t help but flatter him:
"Good name!"
Lin Zhibai ignored the other party's flattery and asked, "Do you know anything about Qinzhou Publishing House?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said: "Under normal circumstances, the first choice partners for writers are definitely Nathan Book House, Tianguang Books and Shinhwa Publishing House. The three major financial backers behind them are the three largest, so they have the largest number of readers. I don't know about other publishing houses. Many, but I can give you a detailed reference tonight, and you can compare them based on the style of the work to see which one is more beneficial to choose."
Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qinzhou’s entertainment industry really cannot avoid Shinhwa, Tianguang and Nathan.
"Thank you for your hard work. You will have to take care of the studio affairs from now on. I won't step in. As for the employment contract between us, it will be officially signed tomorrow." Lin Zhibai said.
"OK!"
“Then you go and do your work first.”
Jiang Cheng left. Although he did not expect that the initial work he started had nothing to do with finance, nor did he expect that Lin Zhibai was his boss, who planned to make his debut as a writer.
Watching Jiang Cheng leave.
Lin Zhibai drank the still warm "Bi Ye Hou" in one gulp and tapped his fingers on the tea table.
Jiangcheng is now in the probation period. Lin Zhibai deliberately did not talk too much to the other party, but only asked the other party to help with some simple things first.
“Ding dong.”
The system appears suddenly.
With a few subtitles.
【Congratulations on completing the task: finding a spokesperson. 】
【Task Reward: Skill Point*1】
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly and continued to accumulate skill points.
Now he has three skill points. This thing is very precious, but it is much less difficult to obtain than Lin Zhibai imagined. The system releases tasks very frequently, but they are basically relatively easy to complete.
At this time.
Sister Lin Xi called.
"I've found a nanny for you. She's waiting at your door. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for you later."
"OK."
Lin Zhibai went to open the door.
Lin Xi said with a smile: "I've been busy with work recently. I'll see you in a while. You should also work hard to write songs. The door of Sister Music Department 13 is always open for you!"
"Know it."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhibai opened the door and saw a woman in her thirties. She was not fat, but she seemed to have a good physique. She should be the type who works frequently.
“Hello, sir!”
The woman introduced herself somewhat cautiously: "Ms. Lin introduced me to be a nanny. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. My name is Liu Honghua, and this is my ID card..."
“Please come in.”
Lin Zhibai nodded after confirming that there was no problem: "Then I will call you Aunt Liu from now on. Normally, I only need to clean the first and second floors. If the third floor needs cleaning, I will notify you separately."
The career nanny has been found.
The nanny in daily life is also on duty.
Lin Zhibai returned to the bedroom on the third floor, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside. He felt that there was a grand blueprint in front of him, and the tip of the iceberg was gradually unfolding.
