It was the same for all internet companies. She was not the only one busy. Everyone in the company seemed to have evolved and could ignore hunger and sleep. When everyone started to work hard, the person who worked normally became the one who did not work hard and a couch potato in everyone’s eyes. Each team would be responsible for a few accounts. Whichever account had good data would naturally have a high performance. Those who lagged behind would have their bonuses deducted.

Jin Nian was in charge of a big internet celebrity with nearly two million fans. She also had a co-operating account and some new talents who did not have many fans. Every video content of a big internet celebrity had to go through a series of processes such as group meetings, writing scripts, recording, editing, and proofreading.

The content of the small internet celebrities with few fans was basically decided by them. However, the script outline had to be confirmed with the team in advance before it was done. After that, the editing and proofreading would be done by the editors in the team.

Recently, Jin Nian had been busy with the co-operating account. The content of this account was different every time, reflecting the current hot topics. Whether or not the content of the account could be viral was actually a matter of metaphysics. Sometimes, even if there was not any fault with the content, the response after posting would be mediocre. No matter how hard some accounts were operated, they had lukewarm responses.

Lin Qianyu had looked for Jin Nian before and suggested that she focus on running the account of the top internet celebrity first. As for the account that she co-operated, it was better to just give it up. Jin Nian could not bear to give up on the content that her team had worked hard on. Lin Qianyu did not understand why she was so stubborn. “Why are you so persistent? Who gave you money?”

Jin Nian had told him before, “You reap what you sow! As long as they put their hearts into the content, the traffic would rise sooner or later!” However, Jin Nian was a little confused now. Jin Nian looked smart at first glance, but she was actually very slow in reality.

After checking the video, Jin Nian went to Lin Qianyu’s office immediately. It was rare to see Lin Qianyu sitting in his office in a daze. Jin Nian asked him, “What’s wrong? You look so lost.”

Lin Qianyu glanced at the office and signaled Jin Nian to close the door. After waiting for the door to close, he sighed. “The higher-ups have said that they want me to reduce the number of employees.”

“Ah?”

“Don’t be nervous. As long as I’m in the company, I definitely won’t fire you.”

Jin Nian was speechless. “That’s not what I meant. Besides, if you really have to lay off your employees, you can do so. I won’t have to beg for food if I lose this job.”

Lin Qianyu’s worry was written all over his face. “I don’t even have enough manpower right now, yet you want me to lay off my staff. I’ve been having a headache these few days.”

“To be honest, you’ve always been like this.”

“Jin Nian, why don’t you have any empathy?”

“If you let me earn as much money as you, I’ll have empathy.”

“You came to my office just to make things difficult for me?”

Jin Nian smiled. “I really have something important to tell you. The video is done. Take a look. It won’t take long.”

Lin Qianyu had no choice but to take the tablet from Jin Nian. After watching the video, Lin Qianyu said honestly, “It’s pretty good. I can tell that you’ve put in a lot of effort.”

“Can we send it now?”

“Okay, send it.”

Jin Nian did not have to work overtime today. As soon as it was six o’clock, she walked out of the office, wanting to go home early and have a good sleep. Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, she drove the mini-electric car home. Unexpectedly, it broke down on the highway.

It was rush hour, so Jin Nian’s car got honked continuously. She could only get out of the car and wave her hand to signal the car behind her to take a detour. The other party saw that it was a young lady, only asking, “It broke down?” However, the car owner behind them was not happy. “Crazy! Stopping the car on the highway in such heavy rain!”

Jin Nian did not have an umbrella in the car, so she could only use her hand to block her head. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Seeing the cars behind her forming a long line, she could not help but panic. She returned to the driver’s seat and tried to start the car again, but there was still no reaction.

What should she do? Should she call the police? Or insurance? Or call for help?

Jin Nian calmed herself down. She picked up her phone and was about to call for help when her phone rang, displaying an unknown number. Jin Nian picked up the call and placed it beside her ear. What she heard was Lu An’s voice. “Where did you go?”

This phone call was simply a life-saving straw! Jin Nian held the phone tightly and asked, “Lu An! Is that you?”

The other end of the line laughed lightly as if laughing at her foolishness.. “You can’t even recognize my voice?”
