Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 189, Section 187: Doing a Favor
"Douyu contacted us and said that their business department had a need and invited us and Nuonuo to come over for a chat."

After seeing Teacher Shen off amicably, He Min brewed another pot of green tea, then returned to her office to prepare for today's key tasks. She immediately went to Zhou Mingyuan to report on her work.

Nanhu Industrial Park is a good place.

Area C is Jieyou Media, and Area D is Mingli Company; it's only a few minutes' walk between the two.

Originally, for He Min, working alongside Zhou Mingyuan in a dual-headed office was an impossible task.

Jieyou Media, located in a storefront at Nanhu University, was an unfamiliar field that she rarely ventured into.

But things changed after Jieyou Media also moved to Nanhu Industrial Park.

He Min gradually took charge of the work at Jieyou Media and officially integrated into the role of a 24/7 assistant.

Of course, Zhou Mingyuan was also happy to have a trusted assistant by his side.

Her growth is evident to the naked eye, and Zhou Mingyuan is willing to let go and nurture her with peace of mind, hardly having to worry about her daily affairs.

The biggest advantage of this is that it liberates oneself.

In most cases, Zhou Mingyuan only needs to do two things.

Spend time listening to reports, then put in the effort to make decisions.

That's it.

"Look at our Nono, she's really doing us a favor."

Zhou Mingyuan leaned back in his soft executive chair, crossed his legs, and smiled slightly.

"You can plan the itinerary. If the projects are good, we can take them."

"Okay, I'll check back later."

He Min nodded, her pen spinning rapidly as she wrote on the A4 paper.

Next, she turned to another page in the folder and continued her report.

"Mr. Zhou, after your meeting today, what are the plans for these new employees?"

"Want to go livestream on Douyu together?"

"Should we contact Douyu's operations team to see how they can help with some pre-event promotion?"

"There's no rush. Not everyone is suited to follow Nono's path."

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head and waved his hand forcefully.

"I gave them a lecture today, but you didn't get to listen, did you?"

"No."

He Min finished her work in Zone D this morning before coming over to help greet the guests.

"As I have said before, the core competitiveness of Jieyou lies in its strategic planning."

"As an MCN company, we can tailor our services to each individual's needs, providing comprehensive support for their development path and helping them find a path that suits them."

"As the saying goes, everyone has their own taste. If everyone is doing live streaming on the same track, the audience will get tired of it. It is impossible for everyone to make money."

In fact, not everyone is suited for live streaming.

Take the new talents signed by Zhou Mingyuan as an example. Many of them were personally interviewed by him, and they included talents from different fields and with different styles.

Some people have a very distinct personal style and don't necessarily have to pursue a career in live streaming.

Even shooting short videos and focusing on the social media platform might be more likely to generate buzz.

By expanding the types and scale of the influencers signed under your management in the early stages, many excellent tracks will naturally emerge to choose from.

Next, we will tailor the clothing to the individual's style.

Perhaps one day, we will see Jieyou Media among most of the trending topics on the internet.

"Go talk to each of the new recruits separately later."

Zhou Mingyuan bent his middle finger and tapped the table in front of him.

"Ok."

He Min nodded.

"On the one hand, we help everyone determine their development direction, and on the other hand, we leverage their strength to strive to expand our scale and influence in various universities as soon as possible."

In an era where industry competition has evolved from its nascent stages to its increasingly fierce phase, the "scale" advantage gained by being the first to act is always a competitive edge.

This is also the goal that all MCN agencies are pursuing.

Zhou Mingyuan and He Min chatted for the entire morning.

From work to life, he basically said whatever came to mind, and He Min listened attentively, taking notes as she went.

"There are two more things that Teacher Shen just reminded me of, and you should remember to take care of them immediately."

"You know what, her guidance this time was actually quite useful."

In the afternoon, Jieyou Media welcomed several unfamiliar guests once again.

"Is this Mr. Zhou? Hello, I am Qin Haosen from Zhongbei Labor Services, and this is Manager Liu Xing from Xuehai Graphic Design."

"Hello, both of you, welcome, welcome!"

Serving tea and entertaining guests are the same as always.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation and quickly reached an agreement on cooperation. They signed two agreements in a flash, the teacups on the table still steaming. Zhou Mingyuan smiled and saw the two middle-aged men out of the company.

"Mr. Zhou."

"I know what you want to ask."

After returning to her office, He Min clearly had something to say.

Just now, when they were discussing the collaboration, she had been giving him frequent signals with her eyes, but the man pretended not to notice.

"Listen to me first. From now on, we will outsource the routine cleaning of Jieyou Media to Zhongbei Labor Service."

"I'll send you the price list via WeChat later. You can make arrangements accordingly."

"In addition, all the printing and graphic design business in the company will be contracted out to Xuehai Graphic Design in the future."

"I'll give you their contact information later, you heard me, right?"

"They said they'd make a few sets of business cards for everyone for free, as a perk."

"no."

He Min was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

"There are only a few of us now, and we're all girls who like to clean. We can easily clean ourselves. Wouldn't it be a waste to pay for a cleaning service?"

"And the prices charged by the graphic design company—I just looked at the contract, and the fees are completely unreasonable!"

"It's much more expensive than what's on the market."

He Min blinked, her face contorted with pain, and whispered.

Do you know the difference between working hard on your own and relying on a powerful backer?

Zhou Mingyuan didn't explain, but looked at He Min and said with a smile.

"Hmm, I don't know."

He Min looked completely bewildered.

"Take Mingli for example. We started our company from scratch. We rely entirely on our abilities and can hire whoever we want. We make all the decisions ourselves."

"But Jieyou Media is different; it carries a strong school-affiliated influence."

"You took up other people's resources right from the very beginning, giving us storefronts, approving sites, and providing incentive funds, right?"

Zhou Mingyuan crossed his arms and waited until He Min nodded slightly in his line of sight before continuing.

"When you drink water, you should remember the well-digger."

"Since we've already accepted their favor, we might as well go all out and enjoy the meal to the fullest."

"500,000 is just the beginning. In fact, there are many other preferential policies related to the school. If you want to get through Nanhu University, how can you do it without understanding some interpersonal relationships?"

"."

The topic suddenly shifted to an unfamiliar area, and He Min involuntarily rubbed her eyes.

"Teacher Shen told me that the boss of Zhongbei Labor Service has a close relationship with the school leaders, and the cleaning business of the entire Nanhu University is under their contract."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"The same applies to Xuehai Graphic Design. As I always say, a boss should know how to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details. You should do what you can to help others."

"Besides, if we sell well, it will be easy for other school leaders to give us face, and in the end, we will have a say in the issues raised at the school affairs meeting. We might even be able to get more core preferential policies from the city or province."

"."

He Min bit her lip, sighing inwardly.

The boss always seems to be so meticulous and thorough.

"Then, Mr. Zhou, what are the core preferential policies?"

she continued to ask.

"duty free!"

Zhou Mingyuan's eyes lit up.

"Once our various businesses take off, do you know how much tax we'll have to pay?"

"Besides tax exemption, there are reportedly preferential policies for university industrial parks, science and technology business incubators, and co-working spaces."

"It's all free lunch!"

"If you don't grab it, you're a fool!"

“So that’s how it is”

Sunlight streamed through the office building's window sills, and a midday breeze slipped through the glass curtain wall, casting a reflection in the center of Zhou Mingyuan's chin.

He Min sat at the coffee table, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Zhou Mingyuan, her pen having stopped moving at some point.

It's about human relationships and social customs, but it's not cheesy at all.

Surrounded by light, he appeared tall and straight, with distinct features.

For a few seconds, she was completely stunned.
