As Tang Jiao expected, only three people decided to stay in the end.
Tang Jiao didn't think there was any surprise, but she was very satisfied with the result.
In fact, she didn't originally want to take over as an old employee of Evergreen Magazine. For one thing, their capabilities are limited. Boss Xu has been working for so many years, but the two magazines have not shown any improvement and have gone from bad to worse. It can only mean that both editors-in-chief have problems. There is a problem with vision, and there is also a problem with ability.
On the other hand, the original comment that Boss Xu gave her was actually just average by many people. Tang Jiao saw the subtext in his words. It's okay to use it, but when it comes to trust, it's very limited.
That's why Tang Jiao is very satisfied with the current results.
The three people left behind were considered pretty good people by Boss Xu.
No one in this world is perfect, and of course there are shortcomings, but they are not a big problem when it comes to work.
In fact, Tang Jiao's contract is not a good one. She is a businessman and must pursue her own interests. Moreover, she has also thought that Evergreen Magazine was originally too chaotic. Everyone's salary was the same. No matter how much, the effect is the same.
In this case, it is natural to become tired.
Tang Jiao's contract cut off a full third of her basic salary, but it also included additional commission items.
She was used to doing this and listed it very clearly.
On the day of signing the contract, Tang Jiao was all present. Yan Heng and the other three did not expect Tang Jiao to arrive, and they were all a little embarrassed.
Although the information is not very well-informed now, other people gathered together yesterday to "discuss major plans" and they are aware of it. In fact, Lao Ye also approached them, but all three of them refused.
I always feel that it is unkind to do something like this. How can I bully a little girl like this
Tang Jiao looked at their confused expressions and said with a smile: "Is it strange that I come?"
Several people shook their heads immediately.
Tang Jiao said: "Since I have decided to sign the contract, I don't want to hear any other voices. I will renovate the newspaper office. You will have a rest this month and I will pay you the guaranteed salary."
Yan Heng and others immediately felt embarrassed, but because Sister Gao was doing file management, her salary had not been reduced and was the same as before. She was even more embarrassed and immediately said: "How about this? I'll help with the decoration and stuff."
Tang Jiao: "..."
Sister Gao immediately said: "Don't look at me as a woman, I am capable. Really, after all, I can't take your month's money in vain, you can use me as a man."
This eldest sister Gao had never been on Tang Jiao's layoff list. Her husband passed away early, and it was quite hard to raise the child alone.
Moreover, she was doing a good job in the archives work, so there was no need for Tang Jiao to replace her.
"I'll come too, I can do it. I can't do it at home for a month and still get paid."
Although the salary has been reduced, Yan Heng thinks this is a good thing, and Miss Tang looks like she is going to do something big.
If he does a good job, he will also get a commission!
He and his girlfriend Xiao Meng both felt that maybe they could still succeed in this way. If it were the case, I'm afraid there really would be no chance of success.
Tang Jiao saw that they insisted on coming to help, and she was a little confused as to what to do.
She was used to others being cold and unaccustomed to enthusiasm, so she felt a little confused all of a sudden.
When she got home, Shen Qing laughed when he saw her like this.
No matter what, their Tang Jiao is a girl who has never experienced anything.
He said: "You still have to go to school, have you ever thought about finding an assistant?"
Speaking of assistants, Tang Jiao immediately thought of Gu Yuyu. No matter from which aspect, if she was looking for someone, Gu Yuyu would be the most suitable person. She quickly cooperated with Gu Yuyu in the beginning. Thinking about it after having an extra lifetime of experience, it should be easier for her to get familiar with Gu Yuyu.
After all, you understand!
It's just that I'm a little careful.
She looked up at Shen Qing and asked, "Uncle, do you have any good recommendations?"
She smiled and asked, "Is it possible that you plan to introduce Li Langning to me?"
Shen Qing laughed. He originally looked serious, but even when he laughed, he gave people a weird and scary feeling.
Shen Qing said: "Yes, I plan to introduce him to you."
Tang Jiao snapped her fingers and said playfully, "I knew it."
Tang Jiao had already guessed that as a student, she had limited people around her, so even if her uncle was really determined to let her do it, he would always be a little worried.
Put a reassuring person next to her so it becomes urgent.
There are many available people around my uncle, but the one who is suitable for the magazine, after thinking about it, is actually just Li Langning.
She was actually waiting for her uncle to speak!
Sure enough, Shen Qing was not surprised that Tang Jiao could think of it.
He said: "Didn't you guess it a long time ago?"
The two of them smiled tacitly.
Shen Qing said: "Last time you came to see Li Langning, I guess you probably knew what I was thinking. What do you think?"
Tang Jiao nodded: "Okay!"
She has no problem.
"If my uncle believes in someone, I naturally believe in him too, but I don't know if he is willing. After all, detective agencies also make money, right?"
"Tsk." Shen Qing laughed and said, "If he doesn't work in the detective agency, he will die of poverty. If you can let him work for you, I will save my worries."
Tang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Uncle is very good to Li Langning."
Shen Qing is kind to many people, but Li Langning seems to be another exception.
Shen Qing paused and said, "I have saved him, and he has saved me. It's a life-and-death friendship. Apart from being informal, he has nothing wrong with him."
Tang Jiao smiled.
Tang Jiao said: "I will contact him later."
Shen Qing shook his head: "I invited him to my house for dinner tonight."
Tang Jiao was not surprised, she smiled and nodded.
Li Langning brought fruits when he came over. When he saw Tang Jiao, he said hello: "New boss."
Tang Jiao stretched out her hand: "Please give me more advice in the future."
Shen Lianyi didn't go to night school tonight. She was a little confused and didn't know what they were doing.
Tang Jiao explained that Shen Lianyi had a strange feeling when she knew that she wanted to work for her daughter, but she was enthusiastic.
Li Langning sighed: "From now on, I will be someone with a fixed salary."
After dinner, the two of them went to Tang Jiao's study and talked for a long time. Tang Jiao realized that although Li Langning looked unkempt, he was really talented.
The two chatted happily, and Li Langning said, "In that case, when will I join the job?"
Tang Jiao shook her head: "The decoration is over, I want to redecorate."
Li Langning thought the house was quite nice and there was no need to decorate it.
However, Tang Jiao had her own ideas. She said, "I just want to make it special and high-end. Otherwise, how can it have its own characteristics?"
With this said, Li Langning agreed.
He joked: "No wonder my detective agency is getting worse and worse, and there is no business at all. Is it because it is too broken?"
Tang Jiao laughed.
The two of them went downstairs together. He saw the people sitting in the living room and whispered: "Why do I feel that I shouldn't be alone with you! Don't you consider finding an assistant?"
Tang Jiao saw Gu Tingyun's back and didn't know what this man was doing.
However, Li Langning's joking words moved her heart.
Gu Tingyun was sitting quietly on the sofa drinking tea, with Shen Qing and Yang Congwen accompanying him, although both of them were much older than Gu Tingyun. But he was obviously overwhelmed by Gu Tingyun's momentum. Although Gu Tingyun had tried his best to restrain himself, it was still obvious.
Tang Jiao sat next to Gu Tingyun as if nothing had happened, leaning on the sofa. Tang Jiao picked up the cushions of the sofa, with a bit of a little girl's cuteness.
Only being blocked by the big cushion, her little hand quietly held Gu Tingyun. Gu Tingyun's fingers were cold, but he looked very similar to me.
Looking cold, his body is really cold.
Her little hands were warm, and she pressed his fingers like this, stroking them slowly one by one, but her face was serious.
She smiled slightly and said: "Seventh Master..."
Before he could speak, he noticed a slight movement in Gu Tingyun's expression for a moment.
Tang Jiao paused and changed her words: "Seventh brother."
The soft and waxy girl's voice is exactly what makes people drop goosebumps.
Gu Tingyun remained calm and smiled: "Huh?"
Tang Jiao said, "How about I ask for help from you?"
She blinked her eyes delicately and smiled: "I wonder, could you lend Gu Yuyu to me? I am short of suitable people around me. I think she is quite good!"
Gu Tingyun nodded without any hesitation: "Okay."
Tang Jiao laughed and said, "You'd better ask her what she means. If she doesn't want to, I won't force you."
Gu Tingyun raised his eyebrows and said: "She was originally the bodyguard I found for you. If you need her to do other things, I naturally have no objection. Although she grew up here, don't worry. That’s right. Since I’ve lent the person to you, I won’t interfere with unnecessary matters. I won’t even pry into your business secrets.”
No matter what, brothers always settle the scores.
Tang Jiao said with a smile.
Since she chose to use it, she has her own sense of proportion.
Gu Tingyun pinched her naughty fingers, with a serious look on his face, but his fingers held her little hand and refused to let go. Not only did he not let go, he also rubbed it gently.
Seeing his serious expression, Tang Jiao just wanted to say, this is really an old fox.
She said with a half-smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, Brother Qi came here so late... Why? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Tingyun: "Someone sent some bayberries over here. I thought you might like them, so I came over and gave you some."
Tang Jiao smiled crisply, "Then I hope someone will always give something to Brother Seven."
Tang Jiao changed her name to Seventh Brother, but Yang Congwen and Li Langning didn't feel anything at all. After all, they had little contact with each other.
But Shen Qing didn't. He really felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything. He just felt restless.
Tang Jiao saw that he was in a bad state and wondered what was wrong with him, so she asked with concern: "Is uncle not feeling well?"
Shen Qing: "...Ahem, no."
Tang Jiao smiled slightly: "If uncle feels uncomfortable, go back and rest. I will help you entertain the guests."
Speaking of this, he introduced Gu Tingyun: "Brother Seven, this is Mr. Li Langning. He will join the magazine later."
Gu Tingyun's eyes fell on Li Langning. Li Langning immediately became nervous. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Although Gu Tingyun is not very old, he is still considered a legend in Shanghai.
Li Langning stretched out his hand, but felt something was wrong. He always felt bad.
However, Gu Tingyun only stretched out his left hand in an instant. Logically speaking, it was more convenient for him to stretch out his right hand, which was a bit confusing.
However, Li Langning quickly cooperated with Gu Tingyun and changed his hands, shook his hand gently, and then took it back.
"I heard that Mr. Li is very capable. I'll have to trouble Mr. Li more in the future."
He was polite, as if Tang Jiao was one of his own.
Li Langning was not a fool. He quickly said: "Of course."
Then he added: "It's getting late, so I'll leave first without delaying you..."
Tang Jiao waved her hand: "See you tomorrow then."
Gu Tingyun's right hand held Tang Jiao's hand. Tang Jiao tilted her head: "Brother Qi, I made a sketch about the decoration. Do you want to give me some suggestions?"
Gu Tingyun looked at her and didn't move.
Tang Jiao smiled: "You have a lot of experience, please help me take a look."
Then he stood up, Gu Tingyun let go of her, smiled and said... OK!
