Chapter 514 Still Useful
The next morning, Chen Yang, along with Liu Huang and Liu Xiaojuan, boarded a plane bound for Qingzhou City.
On the plane, the three of them occupied first-class seats.
Chen Yang sat in front, his eyes half-closed, while Liu Huang behind him was flirting with Liu Xiaojuan.
He turned his head to look out the airplane window. Thick clouds lay beneath the aircraft, and the sky in the distance was an unblemished blue.
This was the blue sky!
Liu Huang took a deep breath, feeling a surge of exhilaration. He turned and looked gratefully at Chen Yang in front of him. Liu Huang knew that Chen Yang was the one who had changed his destiny.
It wasn't just because Chen Yang had come here to sign the copyright for his novel, giving him three million in manuscript fees.
More importantly, he had completely pulled him out of the mud. Not only had he become a steady man, no longer swayed by manipulative women, but his father's injustice, his family's tragedy had also been thoroughly rectified. Even the entire Mingtong County had become brighter.
Liu Huang clenched his fist and closed his eyes, falling into thought. He began to design the plot of his novel again. At an exciting point, he couldn't help but take out his laptop and began typing on the plane with a "patter."
This time, Liu Huang was determined to perfect this novel with all his heart, ensuring that the first short drama produced by Yang Yang Yang Company would be a huge hit.
Five hours later, Chen Yang and the other two arrived at Yang Yang Yang Company.
When Liu Ran, Lin Yueyu, and the others heard that Chen Yang had brought back the screenwriter, they were naturally overjoyed and immediately wanted to hold a celebration banquet to welcome Chen Yang and Liu Huang.
As for Liu Xiaojuan, she was a graduate of dance herself and had been the lead dancer in the county's dance troupe, possessing excellent fundamental skills and conditions.
However, Liu Xiaojuan no longer enjoyed being an anchor and didn't want to be in the spotlight anymore.
Liu Ran immediately arranged for Liu Xiaojuan to become an anchor trainer at Yang Yang Yang Company, teaching anchors simple dances and training them to better adapt to future live broadcasts.
Liu Xiaojuan and Liu Huang were deeply grateful. They felt the warmth of the company and saw hope.
Liu Huang spoke, "I won't be attending the welcome banquet. I had a surge of inspiration on the plane just now, with many ideas. I want to write them down immediately. You all go ahead and eat."
With that, Liu Huang ran towards his office, laptop in hand.
Lin Yueyu and Director Yu Long were momentarily speechless, but they also felt relieved. Seeing Liu Huang's passion for creation, they believed the novel would be absolutely brilliant.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "The welcome banquet can indeed be postponed. I think we can consider digging out that thorn in our side, Yang Long, right now."
Lin Yueyu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this important matter. Qin Yueyue is no longer suitable to stay in our company. We have obtained the real script, so Qin Yueyue should be fired immediately."
Chen Yang smiled. "Don't rush. I guess Yang Long is with Director Chen De right now. How many copyrights have they bought in the last few days?"
Lin Yueyu smiled proudly at this. "They bought over seventy pieces, each at a price not low, between two million and five million. On average, they have spent at least two hundred and twenty million."
As she spoke, Lin Yueyu sighed and said, "Director Chen De is truly wealthy. He invested over two hundred million and doesn't seem to care one bit."
Chen Yang laughed heartily. "Let's go, then we'll make him care."
The group strode towards the copyright department.
In the copyright department, Qin Yueyue sat at her desk, pretending to be busy scanning her computer.
In the past two days, more and more works had been submitted by her department. Many of them Qin Yueyue felt were not very good, but her company still wanted to buy them.
As an inside agent, Qin Yueyue had to send these lists to Yang Long so that he could preemptively acquire all the copyrights.
Qin Yueyue found that although she was just an employee, just a mole, she seemed to have quite a bit of power. In over two days, she had reported over seventy pieces to Yang Long, and he had already spent over two hundred million.
Qin Yueyue thought to herself, if only she had a historical novel, if she sent her name, wouldn't the other party be willing to spend three million to buy her copyright?
Thinking this way, it seemed like an opportunity!
While she was lost in her daydream, footsteps sounded, and then Lin Yueyu, Chen Yang, Su Ya, and others arrived at Qin Yueyue's workstation.
Seeing this, Qin Yueyue hurriedly stood up. She nervously asked Lin Yueyu, "Supervisor, is there something you need?"
Lin Yueyu nodded. "Yes, bring your phone to my office."
Qin Yueyue was startled. She instinctively clutched the phone in her pocket, muttering to herself, "Have the things I've been doing been discovered?"
Qin Yueyue followed everyone into the office and stood nervously before the desk. She looked around and said, "Supervisor Lin, what is this about?"
Lin Yueyu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You've followed me for so many years, and I can't bear to punish you. Moreover, you've made great contributions recently."
Hearing this, Qin Yueyue quickly swallowed and said tremblingly, "Supervisor Lin, please don't say that. The more you say, the more nervous I become. I don't know what I did wrong?"
Lin Yueyu beckoned with her finger. "Take out your phone and call Yang Long now."
Upon hearing Yang Long's name, Qin Yueyue "thumped" and instinctively knelt on the ground. She quickly shook her head and said, "Supervisor Lin, Supervisor Lin, please spare me. I... I know I did wrong."
"But... but they gave me too much money, and I really need money, I really, really need money, Supervisor Lin."
"For the sake of the fact that I followed you before and served you, please spare me, spare me this time. I'll resign now, I'll leave now."
Chen Yang walked forward, patted Qin Yueyue's shoulder, and then took her phone.
Then Chen Yang said to Qin Yueyue, "Miss Qin, don't be too nervous. What Supervisor Lin just said is true. Just do as we say. Make the call, and we won't make things difficult for you, after all, you have indeed made a great contribution!"
Qin Yueyue looked at Chen Yang and Lin Yueyu, confused. Although she was terrified, she had no choice but to comply now. She used her fingerprint to unlock her phone, then opened the call log. The first entry was a call to Yang Long.
Qin Yueyue tapped Yang Long's name, and the call quickly connected. After it was answered, Yang Long's hearty laughter rang out.
Yang Long said, "Miss Qin, your work efficiency is truly fast. Don't worry, after this matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Qin Yueyue swallowed with a "gulp" and then turned to Chen Yang, saying, "Captain Chen, the call has been connected."
Chen Yang nodded. He leisurely said into the phone, "Yang Long, you've bought the copyrights for those over a hundred pieces of work, haven't you? That idiot Chen De spent over three hundred million, does he feel the pinch?"
