The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 36: What a fine 19,800!

After disconnecting from Zhao Duoyang's live stream.

Shen Jian broadcast alone for another hour before ending the broadcast.

The character's completeness has been improved quite a bit.

In addition, I received approximately 80,000 Sound Waves as gifts.

Although I can't compare to someone like Zhao Duoyang who has a top female influencer on the list.

But it's enough to get by on the most basic needs of life.

I was just getting ready to go to bed.

A message came in the group chat.

[Liangmu@Shenjian: Are you there? I've found you a place to live.]

[Shen Jian: Um…then…should I…set out the celebratory drinks?]

[Yangmu:? ? ? ]

[Shen Jian: (乛◡乛) I sing from midnight until dawn, I love Da Saoo~!]

[Ryogi:...]

[Lin Youyou: !!! ]

[Semir: Hahaha, you didn't let Nailiang off the hook either.]

[Yang Tianzhen: Shen Jian! Do you want to die?! Take it back right now!]

[Shen Jian: I'm sorry.]

[Yoshiki: Cough, alright. The apartment is close to the company. We don't have much to do tomorrow, so I'll take you to meet the landlord. It'll put your mind at ease if you settle down sooner.]

[Shen Jian: Okay, thank you.]

[Lin Youyou: Sister Yang said that tomorrow Master Zhu and I will drive you there and buy some necessities, so we can get everything settled at once.]

[Shen Jian: That's great! Thank you, Sister Yang @Yang Tianzhen!]

[Lin Youyou: Of course, Yixin Entertainment cares a lot about its employees.]

[Shen Jian: So caring?]

[Lin Youyou: Of course, this is part of the company culture.]

[Shen Jian: Got it. I'll be a caring artist to my colleagues from now on!]

[Yang Tianzhen @ Shen Jian: You don't need to.]

[Shen Jian: ?]

[Lin Youyou: Hahaha.]

...

[One more hilarious joke]

...

Early the next morning.

Shen Jian packed his luggage and checked out of the hotel at the front desk.

I've been living here for over a month.

Even the cheapest standard room costs 1200 yuan per night.

So in the end, I paid 46,000.

[Account Balance: 159800.00 yuan]

I glanced at the account and there was less than 160,000 left.

If it weren't for the income from Douyin (TikTok), I'd probably be starving once I rented out the house.

Fortunately, Lin Youyou said that Yixin Entertainment's corporate culture is about caring for its employees.

So he thought that if all else failed, he could cut his wrists in the group chat and start a crowdfunding campaign.

We left the hotel.

The company's van was already waiting outside.

I met Liang Mu and Lin Youyou on the bus, as well as the driver, Master Zhu.

Shen Jian greeted him with a smile.

Good morning everyone, have you eaten yesterday?

"Yesterday?" Lin Youyou was dumbfounded.

Liangmu didn't even bother to reply: "Alright, let's go. We've made an appointment with the landlord, we'll meet in a bit."

Master Zhu started the car.

We soon got onto the overpass.

Yixin Entertainment is located in the Chaoyang District of Beijing.

The housing prices there are very high.

So if you want to rent a place nearby that's convenient and cost-effective, you really need to know someone there.

Of course, Shen Jian would never pretend to be rich by going to those upscale neighborhoods frequented by celebrities.

As long as privacy and location are similar, it's fine.

A price under 10,000 is acceptable.

His savings can cover his expenses for a year.

After a year, the company will most likely be able to take on commercial projects for itself.

On the way,

Shen Jian and Lin Youyou were chatting.

The fine trees in front remained silent.

But WeChat never stopped.

At first, I thought it was a work-related matter.

But it wasn't until someone made a voice call that he refused to answer that he finally got through.

Shen Jian clearly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

He glanced at Liangmu's expression in front of him.

Then he turned back and whispered to Lin Youyou:

"What happened?"

Lin Youyou leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Sister Yang said on WeChat this morning that Teacher Liangmu and his wife had a fight."

Shen Jian looked completely surprised: "He can have a wife?"

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou's face darkened: "What kind of talk is that? Why can't other people have wives?"

Shen Jian: "So? What did you argue about? Could it be that you're upset that Ah Liang doesn't earn enough? Or... is he seeing someone else?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Youyou pinched Shen Jian's arm: "Last night, Sister Yang and Manager Liang attended an industry gathering. They said they happened to run into the top agent from Huanrui Media next door. It seems that the person was Teacher Liang Mu's love rival back then."

"I see."

"Uh... you understand now?"

Although Lin Youyou hadn't finished speaking, Shen Jian, with his years of experience in imagining things, already knew the whole story.

"It's simple. Ah Liang must be frustrated because he sees that others have become top agents, while he only has unknowns or newcomers like me in his team and can't handle the situation at all."

Then I went back and mentioned it to my sister-in-law. She suddenly said that I should have chosen him in the first place, which hurt my pride.

Lin Youyou exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! You're amazing! Sister Yang said the same thing!"

Shen Jian: "Heh, you Yang are quite the gossip."

Lin Youyou: "Huanrui's agent has Cheng Yi as his star, who is very popular. Popular actors make the most money."

Shen Jian nodded: "I understand."

Lin Youyou: "So please don't ask any more questions. It's not appropriate for outsiders to get involved in this kind of thing."

"That won't work."

Shen Jian disagreed.

They used to say that their corporate culture was about caring for their colleagues.

Why did they abandon us at such a crucial moment?

Family matters are also matters.

Moreover, Ah Liang is also his agent.

We must care for them!

"Oh dear, please don't!"

"I knew what I was doing, so I just offered him some comfort."

"That won't work either."

"Lin Youyou, you're preventing me from promoting our company culture."

Just as the two were arguing.

Suddenly, Liangmu spoke up: "You two, that's enough. If you speak any louder, everyone outside can hear us."

"Oh." Lin Youyou stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her head to hide it.

Shen Jianze moved to the front row, next to Liang Mu.

"I'll just say a few words."

"..." Liangmu remained silent: "My affairs are none of your concern."

Shen Jian shook his head: "Ah Liang, I'm not one to stir up trouble, but I think my sister-in-law must have seen that those who didn't have a choice back then are making money, and she was anxious, so she said what she really felt. You can't blame her."

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."

Master Zhu: "Hmm."

Shen Jian: "But you should try to think more positively. After all, you two are husband and wife, and even if your sister-in-law thinks you are not as good as him, she still manages to get along with you, doesn't she?"

From another perspective, heaven has already punished her for marrying the wrong person, so how can you bear to blame her?

Listen to me, go back and apologize to your sister-in-law, have a good talk, family harmony is the most important thing.

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou: "!!!"

Master Zhu: "Yes."

[One more hilarious joke]

After Shen Jian finished speaking, the car fell silent.

Liang Muren is numb.

Lin Youyou, on the other hand, was wondering whether she should jump out of the car to avoid the limelight.

Not my brother...

You said you weren't the type to cause trouble.

So you call this comforting?

Are you kidding me?

...

...

The whole morning.

Shen Jian followed Liang Mu to meet the landlord and negotiate the price. They eventually signed a lease agreement for 10,000 yuan per month.

The apartment is in a high-rise building, over 100 square meters, which is more than enough.

The key is that it's close enough to the company.

It's just two subway stops away, or about half an hour on foot.

Shen Jian paid a full year's rent of 12 yuan, plus a deposit of 2 yuan for water and electricity, with any overpayment or underpayment to be collected.

[Account Balance: 19800.00 yuan]

Now I only have 19,800 yuan left in my pocket.

But he still treated everyone to hot pot.

After all, they've been working hard all day, so they deserve a reward.

After a few drinks...

After a day of silence, Liangmu suddenly revealed his true feelings.

His face was slightly flushed.

He patted Shen Jian on the shoulder.

"Shen Jian, you're right."

Shen Jian looked relieved: "Finally figured it out?"

"Yes." Liangmu nodded seriously: "We need to make money."

far away,

Lin Youyou was puzzled.

"What's wrong with Agent Liang?"

Master Zhu: "It's been washed."

Lin Youyou: "..."
