Huayu: From "Good Fortune Across the Sky" to becoming a top star

Upon arriving in Chengdu, the sky became increasingly bright and sunny.

Jiang Xun and Tian Xiwei were like wild men who had returned to the city from the countryside.

"Have you booked your tickets yet?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Not yet."

"That's perfect, let's go to the company and arrange some work."

"A company? What company? You have a company?" Tian Xiwei exclaimed in a series of shocked questions.

"It's a shell company, a legitimate way to avoid taxes," Jiang Xun explained. The way this company was set up was indeed somewhat inexplicable.

"Oh, okay. Then give me the address, I'll buy some things first, and then I'll go over myself in a bit." Tian Xiwei accepted this arrangement without much thought.

Jiang Xun sent her the address and went to the company first.

Today's main focus is on conducting interviews; he's arranged everything in advance.

When I arrived at the company, sure enough, there were quite a few people standing outside, both men and women.

Upon seeing Jiang Xun, everyone cast a strange, fish-like glance their way.

At this moment, Hu Bo inside also saw Jiang Xun and strode out to greet him.

"Here you are, Mr. Jiang."

"No, Brother Hu, please call me by my name."

"That won't do. Things are different now."

"Got it, this is a hint that I should pay you a salary. I understand, I understand."

After exchanging a few laughs, the two started talking about serious matters.

"Let them all come in."

"Okay," Hu Bo replied, and went out to bring in all the interviewees.

Soon, the small office area was packed with people.

Jiang Xun stood at the front, enduring the stares and whispers of the crowd.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm sure you all know the general job description, but I'll just briefly mention it again. Your probation period is one month. After that, your monthly salary is 5,000 plus commission, with five social insurances and one housing fund, but no weekends off. The commission is really impressive; if you have the ability, earning a million a year is not a dream."

As soon as Jiang Xun finished speaking, the murmurs among the crowd grew louder, clearly indicating that they had accepted the promise Jiang Xun had made.

"Boss, are you Jiang Xun from Douyin?" someone asked.

Jiang Xun then realized that he was still wearing a mask, so he took it off to make sure everyone could see it.

"Yes, does anyone have any questions?"

"Boss, why don't you write it yourself?"

"I'm stretched too thin, everyone," Jiang Xun said with a smile, without offering any further explanation.

"If I pass the interview, do I need to come to the company to clock in every day?"

"No need. Just send me the drafts I need every day, and if they're approved, that's fine. If they're not approved, you'll need to rewrite them. You have two days off per month."

Everyone nodded in agreement, quite satisfied with the relaxed conditions.

"Since everyone has no questions, let's do this. I'll send you the outline and detailed outline for each story. Start writing now, just write the first three chapters, about two thousand words each."

As Jiang Xun spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the file folder and distributed them. Each small stack of papers contained the book title, outline, and detailed outline.

After sending the message, Jiang Xun returned to his office.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei also arrived at the address. She looked at the company name outside and then at the bustling scene inside, which did not seem like a shell company used for legitimate tax avoidance at all.

She poked her head in and asked a few random questions until she saw Hu Bo and confirmed that this was the place.

Hu Bo led her into Jiang Xun's office.

"Why are there so many people?" Tian Xiwei asked Jiang Xun after closing the door.

"It's an interview. What did you buy?"

"A KFC family bucket." Tian Xiwei shook the bag in her hand, opening it as she asked, "Which department are you interviewing for? There are so many people!"

"This is called...the Writers' Department?" Jiang Xun couldn't find a suitable word for a moment. After all, their job was to ghostwrite, so it couldn't really be considered an editorial department. Their educational backgrounds were also quite diverse, ranging from associate's to bachelor's degrees, and their majors were even more varied.

"You're running a publishing house?"

"No, it's a media company. Intellectual property (IP) is so expensive these days! We simply can't afford it, so I choose to create IP."

That's the truth.

Although the frenzy of internet companies scrambling for IP addresses has subsided, the price of high-quality IP addresses remains stubbornly high.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun had read countless books in his previous life, and his memory was amazing after his rebirth. He could write down the general content of these IPs and then find someone to publish them and claim the title.

When it's time to actually start filming, he will then adapt it into a script.

"That's amazing." Tian Xiwei exclaimed, then handed Jiang Xun a hamburger, watching him take a bite with intense eyes.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Xun felt somewhat helpless, but since he was the one who had boasted about it, he could only pretend to be amazed.

"It's so delicious!"

"That's good." Tian Xiwei smiled, her smile carrying a hint of kindness. Then she took a small medicine bottle out of her pocket and handed it to Jiang Xun.

"What is this?"

"Vitamins. Didn't you have mouth ulcers before? I think it was because you ate too much meat and not enough fruits and vegetables. Taking some vitamins will help."

Tian Xiwei said.

She likes to eat meat, and she's been having so much trouble getting used to living in Xinlong lately, eating all kinds of beef and mutton every day.

Because delivery is inconvenient in high-altitude areas, the supply of vegetables and fruits is severely limited and the prices are exorbitant, so she can't bear to buy them.

Jiang Xun glanced at Tian Xiwei and thanked her.

An hour later, some bright-minded college students had finished writing the first three chapters.

When recruiting this time, Jiang Xun told Hu Bo: you don't need a high level of education or a relevant major. As long as you like reading novels and have the idea of ​​writing, you can come and give it a try.

Becoming a literary icon with a single book is extremely difficult; there aren't many people who can dedicate their lives to writing novels.

However, Jiang Xun's offer was very lenient: if the writing was good, he would receive a share of the royalties; if the writing was mediocre, he would provide a guaranteed minimum wage as long as he thought it was readable.

However, the copyright belongs to the company, which is understandable.

After all, Jiang Xun's main goal was simply to reserve a spot. Earning tens of millions in royalties from a single book would be ideal, of course.

The first one that was completed was "The Beginning," written by a young woman.

She handed her tablet to Jiang Xun, then stood up straight, waiting nervously.

Such a job, with such good benefits, is rare. She really wanted this job.

Jiang Xun carefully read the contents, and Tian Xiwei also leaned over to read it with him without any hesitation.

"It was during the third bus explosion that Li Shiqing truly realized something was wrong."

There's no way to blame her for thinking that way, since her destination is the last stop on this bus line.

The total duration is close to an hour, and I always fall asleep as soon as I get on the bus.

... "

After Jiang Xun finished reading, he returned the tablet to her.

"Well written, very immersive, and the writing style is also good. It's obvious that you read online novels often."

Tian Xiwei chimed in, "Yes, I really want to keep watching."

"Thank you, boss." The young woman was a little shy, her voice low. "I've been reading this since high school, and I've always dreamed of writing one myself."

"Write 6,000 words every day, and then convert them into a document and send it to me."

"I passed the interview?" the girl exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes."

"Thank you, boss! I'll definitely write it well!"
