Chapter 398

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Hao Dashan got up early, washed up vigorously, then said goodbye to his parents and went out leisurely.

He returned from military service at the beginning of the year and is still living in his parents' home.

It’s just that his home is a little far from his workplace, he lives in Tongzhou.

If he took the subway or public transportation to work, it would take nearly two hours. At that time, there were not so many subway lines in Beijing. He needed to change subways three times and then take a bus to get to the company.

Now that the Batong Line has been opened, it is much more convenient than before. Otherwise, he would have to take the bus to Sihui before he could take the subway.

Although his workplace is far away and he has to spend a lot of time on the road every day, Hao Dashan is still full of energy every day.

This amount of hardship is far less intense than training in the army, and he also likes his current job.

Good income and good benefits.

Although he is a driver, Mr. Qin likes to stay in the company every day and rarely goes out.

So Hao Dashan basically sits in the company every day playing on the computer, enjoying the tea and snacks provided by the company, and waiting for President Qin to call him.

All that's left is to wipe the car, check its condition, and live a very comfortable life.

Hao Dashan bought some fried dough sticks and soy milk from a roadside bun shop, wolfed down the meal, wiped his mouth, and quickly ran into the subway station.

Following the morning rush hour crowd, I was forced into the carriage.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Hao Dashan arrived downstairs where Mr. Qin lived on time.

After the call, Qin Shaoyan quickly went downstairs and threw the key to Hao Dashan, "Come on, follow me to Dingfu Village."

"Ah?!" Hao Dashan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Boss Qin, shouldn't we go back to the company first?"

"No, I'm going to discuss a big business today!" Qin Shaoyan said with a flushed face.

Hao Dashan was a little puzzled. He had never heard of any big companies in Dingfu Village.

However, Mr. Qin often hangs out there, and everyone around him knows about it.

According to the programmers in the company, Mr. Qin is a stay-at-home guy who doesn't like to go out. Usually when he goes out, he either goes to the United States to discuss business or goes to Qvod.com.

In addition, the place Mr. Qin visits most frequently is the university affiliated to Dingfuzhuang Primary School.

As for why, Hao Dashan was not quite sure. He did hear his secretary Xiao Chen say it once, saying that President Qin had a mistress in his mansion.

Hao Dashan didn't ask any questions and started working immediately. He first checked the car roughly and then started it.

Qin Shaoyan sat in the back seat carrying a bag, took out a stack of documents from the bag and examined them carefully.

As soon as Hao Dashan saw this, he knew that Mr. Qin was indeed going to discuss business, so he asked, "Mr. Qin, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right? Can I find a restaurant for you to eat in?"

"No need. If we pass by a breakfast shop, buy me some buns and soy milk. I'll eat in the car." Qin Shaoyan answered while looking at the document and picked up a pen to make changes on it.

Hao Dashan agreed, drove to a bun shop near the company to buy breakfast, and drove all the way to Dingfu Village.

The car turned several turns and finally stopped at a shop under a residential building.

This market house is very large and judging from the decoration, it looks like the office of a company. There is a sign hanging on the wall that reads "Xyin Animation Company".

As soon as Qin Shaoyan got off the car, he saw Mingyue sneaking out from inside.

She first glanced around in panic, then quickly ran to Qin Shaoyan, grabbed him and dragged him into the nearby community.

"Hurry up and leave before our senior sister Yang Li sees us."

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "What will happen if you see it?"

"Of course my salary will be deducted." Mingyue rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Our senior sister Yang Li is very strict with us. We are not allowed to go out without permission during working hours. If we are caught, we will deduct 100 yuan. We are not allowed to be late or leave early. If we are caught, we will deduct 500 yuan."

Qin Shaoyan frowned, "What does your senior sister Yang Li do? Why do you deduct my salary at will?"

"She is one of the shareholders of the company, and the other shareholder is her boyfriend." Mingyue replied.

"There's no future in working for such a stingy boss. You should change to another one." Qin Shaoyan said with a frown.

"It's OK." Mingyue smiled. "It's not that easy to find a job nowadays. If it weren't for Senior Sister Yang Li recruiting me into the company last year, I don't know when I would have found a job."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue and asked in surprise, "Isn't it said that there is a huge shortage of animation talents now? You are an animation major, are you afraid that you can't find a job?"

"Alas, you don't understand. Although it's said so on the surface, it's actually hard for us to find a good job." Mingyue sighed, "Don't be fooled by the fact that animation majors are popular now. In fact, we can't make any money at all."

"How could this happen?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.

He had previously discussed with President Yang of the Communication University of China about setting up an animation scholarship to cultivate animation talents.

Principal Yang told him that last year the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television had a policy to encourage the development of the animation industry. At the same time, it also relaxed market access conditions and encouraged non-publicly owned economies to enter the film, television and animation industry.

The animation industry is about to usher in a major development, and by then animation talent will be in short supply.

At that time, Qin Shaoyan considered setting up an animation studio or company to slowly develop his own animation IP.

It’s not that he really believed that the animation industry would enter a period of rapid development, but he was afraid that too many companies would come in and compete for talent, leaving him with no one to use and delaying his plans.

Although Qin Shaoyan knew that the Chinese animation industry had been languishing for a long time, the current policy stimulus would at least create a false prosperity.

But Mingyue's meaning seemed different from what he thought.

"There are so many animation companies now, and they are all competing. It's good enough to have a project to work on. Otherwise, you can only get a basic salary, and you don't know when the company will be gone." Mingyue sighed.

"How much do you earn a month?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"The monthly salary is 1,800 yuan, and there is a 200 yuan full attendance allowance." Mingyue counted on her fingers, "Let me tell you, this 200 yuan allowance is not easy to get. You have to be fully present on Saturdays every month, and you can't be late on other days."

"You only make 2,000 yuan a month and you want to charge 996?" Qin Shaoyan laughed angrily, "The boss of your company is very good at reducing costs and striving for efficiency."

"It's not just the basic salary and full attendance, we also have certain commissions and bonuses." Mingyue explained immediately, "Plus I can also do outsourcing, so I can make 5,000 yuan a month, isn't it amazing?"

Looking at Mingyue's smug expression asking for praise, Qin Shaoyan was stunned.

Mingyue feels very satisfied if she can earn 5,000 yuan a month, but this 5,000 yuan requires her to work more than 12 hours a day.

Suddenly, Qin Shaoyan grabbed Mingyue's arm.

Mingyue subconsciously tried to break free, but Qin Shaoyan held her tightly, and her cheeks immediately turned red. "You, you, you, what are you going to do?"

Qin Shaoyan rolled up Mingyue's sleeves and carefully examined her arm, then grabbed the other hand and examined it again.

"What are you looking at?" Mingyue's face was burning, but she felt Qin Shaoyan's actions were strange, so she mustered up the courage to ask.

"I want to see if you are sick." Qin Shaoyan let go of his hand and said unhappily, "People are not machines. How can they work so hard as you do?"

"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me." Mingyue waved her little fist to show that she was fine, and then quickly changed the subject, "Why did you ask me to come here today?" "I originally wanted to ask you to do a project, but seeing how you are now, I regret it a little." Qin Shaoyan pulled out a stack of plans from his bag and held it in his hand.

"Let me see it." Mingyue snatched the plan and flipped through it. The more she read, the brighter her eyes became, but she soon put the plan down and looked at Qin Shaoyan.

"The client of this project is Qvod?" Mingyue asked hesitantly, "Are you familiar with the people at Qvod? What if I bid and they don't want me to bid?"

"I'm a shareholder of Qvod." Qin Shaoyan patted his chest and said proudly, "There was no bidding process, so you were chosen."

"I..." Mingyue hesitated for a moment, looking a little depressed, "This is not good, and I can't do such a big project alone."

"Then help me find a company, or just find someone and start your own company to take on this project." Qin Shaoyan patted Mingyue's shoulder, "I'm optimistic about you."

"I, I can't do that." Mingyue shook her head quickly, "I don't have the money to start a company, and I... I can't be a boss. You can let me do animation design, but I can't do anything else."

"You can learn if you don't know." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Money is not a problem. Qvod can invest in you."

Mingyue's curved eyebrows knitted together tightly, "You want to invest in me?"

Seeing a pie falling from the sky, Mingyue’s first reaction was to refuse.

"It's not me who invested in you, it's Qvod.com that invested in you." Qin Shaoyan explained, "Although I am a shareholder of Qvod.com, the company's funds all come from other investors. It's a waste if I don't spend the money. It doesn't matter who I invest in."

"If I invest in another company, wouldn't the money be earned by outsiders? And I don't trust others, so I have to hand it over to someone I trust."

"Ah?!" Mingyue was a little surprised, "Can it be like this?"

"Of course!" Qin Shaoyan patted his chest and said, "Just go for it boldly. It doesn't matter if the company loses money. The animation industry is not about investing in the present, but in the future."

"I... I'll think about it." Mingyue frowned slightly and did not agree on the spot.

"Don't worry, if you follow me, I will never let you suffer." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

Mingyue's face turned visibly red.

……

Mingyue walked back to the company with a heavy heart. As soon as she entered the door, she found that the atmosphere was a little strange, and it seemed that everyone's expression was a little bit wrong.

At this time, Mingyue was still thinking about what Qin Shaoyan had just said. She didn't take it too seriously and walked straight to her workstation.

She had just taken a few steps when she looked up and suddenly found that senior schoolmate Yang Li was standing next to her, staring at her with a sullen face.

"Where have you been?" Yang Li asked, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

"I, I'm going out to get some fresh air." Mingyue subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. It had been less than ten minutes since she went out.

"A fine of one hundred."

"Ah?!" Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"The company has a rule that you are not allowed to go out without permission during work hours. Violators will be fined 100 yuan." Yang Li said with a straight face, "You have worked here for a year, you should know the rules."

"I just went out for a few minutes." Mingyue argued in a low voice.

"Not even for a minute. Rules are rules!" Yang Li said sternly. "If they are not strictly enforced, then what is the point of having rules? The company will be in chaos."

Mingyue felt a little aggrieved. She would have had to draw a lot of intermediate paintings to earn back the hundred yuan, but it was deducted just like that.

She didn't say anything else, just sat down in her chair quietly, ready to continue working.

But Yang Li did not leave. Instead, she continued to stand by and took out a table and placed it in front of Mingyue, saying, "There is an urgent job today. You should finish it."

Mingyue took a look and frowned, "This can't be finished today. It will take two days."

"Talk to the others about working overtime." Although Yang Li meant to discuss it, her tone left no room for doubt, "We need this tomorrow."

“But we can’t finish this overtime work.” Mingyue replied.

Yang Li was a little unhappy. "Isn't it just a deduction of 100 yuan from you? Don't bring your emotions to work."

"I didn't." Mingyue retorted, "This is indeed a lot of work. I can't finish it even if I work overtime tonight."

"Then you can leave when you finish the work." Yang Li got angry and yelled, "Tomorrow is still more than 20 hours away, how can you not finish it?"

"I can usually finish it, why can't I finish it today?"

"Speak up, why aren't you talking?"

Mingyue suddenly stood up and stared at the other person.

Yang Li panicked for no reason and shouted fiercely, "What are you going to do?"

"I quit." Mingyue said lightly.

"What did you say?" Yang Li was stunned. She didn't expect that Mingyue, who was so weak in character, could actually say that she wanted to resign.

"I said I quit." Mingyue said firmly, "I won't do it anymore."

"You..." Yang Li lowered her voice, "Think carefully, you won't be able to find a job as good as ours after you resign. If I hadn't brought you in, you wouldn't know where you'd be working illegally. The company treats you well, how could you..."

"The company still owes me bonuses and commissions." Mingyue interrupted the other party directly, "A total of 15,600 yuan."

"What bonus or commission?" Yang Li was furious. "If you just quit, you won't get any bonus or commission."

"How could you do this?" Mingyue was stunned, realizing that she had underestimated the other party's shamelessness. "We clearly agreed on this at the beginning."

"It was you who wanted to resign. According to regulations, the bonus should be paid at the end of the year. If you resign now, it means you have voluntarily given up." Yang Li said confidently.

"You are breaking the law!" Mingyue was furious, "I'm going to sue you."

"Don't make trouble." Yang Li warned, "If you continue to make trouble, I will have the industry ban you. Do you still want to stay in this industry?"

Mingyue was silent for a moment, did not argue, picked up her bag, turned around and left, quickly leaving this place that made her feel sick.

After a while her friend Liu Yuanyuan chased out, "Yueyue!"

Mingyue stopped and looked at her friend who was running over in a hurry. "What are you doing out here? Go back quickly, or they will deduct your money."

"It's okay. They can't take care of it now." Liu Yuanyuan said breathlessly, "Are you just going to resign like that?"

"Yes." Mingyue nodded, "I don't want to stay in this company anymore."

"Where are you going?" Liu Yuanyuan showed an expectant expression, "Find a good place and I'll go with you."

"I'll take a rest for two days and get my bonus back." Mingyue said firmly.

"This... is a bit difficult, that bitch is a stingy person, it's hard for her to get money." Liu Yuanyuan said with a bitter face, "Then if you resign, will the money you have enough?"

"Don't worry about me." Mingyue smiled and rubbed Liu Yuanyuan's face, "I have a boyfriend too!"
