My thoughts at the beginning: Is the cold female professor a love-brained person?

Chapter 149: With me, any choice you make is right
Jiang Lin sent Professor Zhou to work the next day.

Because it was Friday, Professor Zhou told him that they wanted to have dinner together in the evening.

It was a rare occasion that Professor Zhou took the initiative to ask him out, so how could Jiang Lin refuse?
And I agreed to accompany her to buy couple outfits when I went back to school before, but we were both too busy, so it was always delayed.

This has to be made up for, right?
So after Jiang Lin returned to the office, he went to work diligently.

This busy work took up the entire morning.

It was not until noon that Xiao Liu asked him whether he wanted to order takeout or go out to eat.

Jiang Lin glanced at him, "What about you?"

Xiao Liu exclaimed, "I ordered takeout. It's so hot outside."

"Me too. Don't order the one you ordered last time. It's really terrible," Jiang Lin waved his hand.

Xiao Liu sighed and agreed in his heart. The food they had last time was really bad.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Lin said, "Come in and eat later, and we can chat."

Xiao Liu glanced at Jiang Lin and nodded.

At noon, Jiang Lin had lunch with Xiao Liu in the office.

In fact, he usually goes out to eat with other people in the company because eating in the office would smell bad.

This time I mainly want to have a good talk with Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu probably knew that he had something to say, so when he saw that the two were almost done eating, he took the initiative to speak, "Boss, do you want to talk about comics?"

"Well," Jiang Lin smiled, "I think you can guess it. What do you think?"

Xiao Liu was silent and whispered, "I didn't think that much."

This means you don't think about it and just want to do it your own way.

Jiang Lin sighed, but his words were very direct, "But Xiao Liu, have you ever thought about this? Your fans have been waiting for you because they really like your story and your style of painting. You know, there are already a lot of animations of this type now. It's not a few years ago now. The ones who can still insist on urging you to update are your die-hard fans, right? Are you sure you want to find a ghostwriter? They will probably be disappointed if they find out, right?"

Jiang Lin's approach was inspired by Zhou Ruohan's words, so he was very straightforward at this time, "They have been waiting for you. Do you have the heart to let them down?"

Xiao Liu really clenched his hands and gently pressed on his wrists, "But."

"Xiao Liu, if you can draw, just draw. It doesn't matter if you're slow. If you can't, just send them a single chapter. I think they can understand, instead of finding someone to ghostwrite to fool them." Jiang Lin's voice was heavy. "They like you and your stories so much. You shouldn't treat them like this."

"But Yueyue is not him." Xiao Liu was about to retort, but he remained silent. Yes, Liu Yue was his sister, but she was not him after all.

Jiang Lin sighed and added, "The copyright is still with me. I will not approve of this behavior, even you, Xiao Liu, you know me."

Xiao Liu was silent for a long time, then smiled helplessly, "Boss, can I smoke?"

Jiang Lin's tense heart relaxed, he laughed and cursed, "I'm going to smoke you, smoking here!"

Even though he said that, he still took out the cigarette box and both of them smoked.

After finishing the cigarette, Xiao Liu sighed, "Okay, I understand, boss. I, let me think about it."

Having said that, he stood up and packed up his things. This time he had to think about whether to tell his fans that he would not paint anymore, or to paint slowly, bit by bit, very slowly.

Jiang Lin also stood up and patted his shoulder. "I've seen your later paintings. In fact, you have recovered a lot."

Xiao Liu has actually been painting and recovering in the past few years.

It was definitely not drawn well at the beginning, but after looking at it for the past year, Jiang Lin felt that it had recovered a lot.

There is just one problem, he can't paint for a long time.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Like I said before, Brother Lin is here to protect you. If you want to continue painting, I support you. We are rich now."

Xiao Liu looked at Jiang Lin and smiled, "Yeah, I understand."

Watching Xiao Liu walk out, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. At least his attitude towards this matter was very clear now.

Their industry is developing very rapidly now, and some people have even started using AI and then making modifications later.

There are too many people who take shortcuts, such as ghostwriting. Jiang Lin can't control others, but he can't accept such behavior under his nose.

Wen Xiaming and the others had said before that Jiang Lin had always been a bit boyish and immature, but because he liked it at the time, he just did it himself.

Liking and passion are the motivation for Jiang Lin to keep working like a slave.

So he wants to protect the things he likes.

It's just that Xiao Liu means something different to him, but he still can't get over it in his heart and can't turn a blind eye to it.

He breathed a sigh of relief at this time, fortunately Xiao Liu had always understood him.

This time I should think carefully about what I said.

At this time Jiang Lin missed Zhou Ruohan a little.

He reached out and touched his neck. He hesitated when he went out in the morning and did not wear the jade pendant.

He still listened to a lot of the conversation with Professor Lin.

Jiang Lin spent the afternoon meeting with some old authors whose contracts had expired.

In this industry, generally speaking, if the cooperation is good, it is rare for people to change jobs.

But this time two of them were still poached.

The main reason is that the other party feels that other companies offer higher prices, after all, it is just a cooperative relationship.

After evaluation, Jiang Lin felt that he really could not offer a higher price than the other party, nor could he retain the employee.

In the end, we could only smile and wish each other well.

However, their company has been recruiting new people in the past two years. Although there has not been any particularly outstanding one, it’s good to have new people.

Newcomers are more trainable.

Because their brains have not yet solidified.

In fact, it is like this in any industry. No matter how passionate you are at the beginning, your passion will gradually cool down.

In the end, when you see the money, you will understand what the market and readers’ tastes are.

When you write again, you will learn to cater to the market because you can make money.

There is nothing wrong with this. After all, it is not a charity. What's wrong with making money?
But in the end, even though we had money, we no longer had innovation.

This is especially true with comics and writing.

This is also the reason why Jiang Lin has been persistent in training new talents over the years.

Many books don’t make money at all, but Jiang Lin will still give them opportunities, which is equivalent to losing money in training them.

This matter was brought up in every previous meeting.

But Jiang Lin had no intention of changing it.

He smiled and told them, "But if one of the books comes out, all the money will be paid back."

Many people do not agree with this statement, but there is nothing they can do. This is Jiang Lin’s company and he has the final say.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin glanced at the unclosed curtains and could see outside.

He thought that he always felt that no one understood him.

But later I found out that there was a silly girl who might not understand him, but chose to support him unconditionally.

There was a chat page on the lit phone screen, and the previous message from the other party was Jiang Lin asking her if she had eaten.

[Do what you think is right. You have loved this career for so long, so the decision you make will not be wrong.]

[Come on, husband~ With me, any choice you make is right~(`)]
