I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

Guan Lu was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses, his hair styled with hair wax and combed perfectly. Always flamboyant, he wore a brown-red plaid three-piece suit, with stylish cropped trousers that revealed white socks, and crocodile leather shoes in the same color as the suit.

He looked both stylish and a bit greasy.

Because his physique doesn't match this outfit at all.

Having spent years sitting in front of a computer desk, especially as he approaches 40, his physique has long since changed. He has a slightly protruding beer belly and a flat butt. Wearing this fashionable outfit, the most people would say is that he has a good eye for buying clothes.

No one would ever compliment his fashion sense.

Qi Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he looked at his department head, Guan Lu: "Manager, are you going to fire me?"

In a short moment, Qi Tian had already imagined many rebellious actions by Gen Z to reshape the workplace.

His gaze toward Guan Lu also held a touch of fervor.

Be bold and say you're going to fire me. I love seeing you act all defiant!

If you dare to act like a decent man today, I'll show you what it means to be a rebellious young man.

Guan Lu's anger suddenly subsided. He was used to bossing Qi Tian around, and when Qi Tian suddenly retorted like that, he didn't know how to respond.

Although he had the right to suggest that Qi Tian be dismissed, it was not something he, as the supervisor, could decide to do.

Moreover, Qi Tian is not as bad as he claims. In fact, since Qi Tian arrived, the scriptwriting department's performance has improved significantly, and many script revisions have been approved by the client.

"Meeting!"

Wang Jingjing, who had just arrived at the company, brought a fragrant breeze with her and left behind two crisp words, breaking the awkward situation. Guan Lu, who was in a difficult predicament, felt as if he had heard heavenly music and quickly replied loudly, "Received!"

"Quietly inform everyone that you can also sit in on the proceedings."

Sun Jing said "Oh," picked up her phone, and started sending notifications in the group.

Sigh, meetings, meetings, another morning spent serving tea and water.

Why should I, a receptionist, attend your meeting?

I couldn't understand it anyway, and it just wasted my time trying to flirt with the guy.

Today, Wang Jingjing was wearing a white suit. The pencil skirt tightly hugged her curves, and flesh-colored stockings bound her calves. Her dainty feet were adorned with black high heels, making her look fair, radiant, and incredibly alluring.

As she passed Qi Tian, ​​her eyes involuntarily swept over him, quickly moving downwards before shifting away again. A hint of shyness and panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Qi Tian waited a few seconds, but when he didn't see any system notification, he knew that he had failed to complete a rebellious operation, which made him somewhat regretful.

Holding his little black notebook, he walked into the meeting room. All eight members of the scriptwriting department were present, and the PPT had already been projected onto the wall.

Wang Jingjing gently adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses with her middle finger, then looked at everyone: "Yesterday, the client raised many suggestions for revising the script of Qi Tian's short drama 'Let's Get Married in a Flash.' I looked at these suggestions this morning and felt it was necessary to discuss them together, to see which ones are worth adopting and which ones are problematic."

The PPT was very simple, showing more than twenty suggestions for revision. Qi Tian glanced at it briefly and immediately felt that this client was just messing around.

However, he did not speak, but waited for everyone to discuss.

In the screenwriting department, I was just a new intern. The fact that my script was chosen by the client was already a pretty good start.

After reading it, the other members of the scriptwriting department looked at each other in silence. Guan Lu, as the department head, saw that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward and spoke first.

"Let me say a few words first, just to get the ball rolling."

I feel that the client's requests are all fairly standard. They can increase dramatic conflict and highlight the characters of the male and female leads. In particular, their request to slow down the pace at the beginning and focus on the female lead's background and the male lead's past is a good point. The audience needs a process of immersion...

Guan Lu talked on and on for about five minutes before summarizing, "These are my points. If there's anything I haven't said, please feel free to add to it. Qi Tian, ​​don't feel guilty. You're a newcomer, it's normal for the client to give you all sorts of suggestions for revisions to the script. Back in my day, I..."

Seeing that Guan Lu was about to launch into a long speech, Wang Jingjing tapped the table with her knuckles. Guan Lu quickly coughed to indicate that he was finished.

Wang Jingjing glanced at the other screenwriters without giving a clear answer.

"I have no objection. I feel that what Manager Guan said is absolutely right."

"Me too. The opinions raised by the client do indeed point to some problems with the script. At the time, I also felt that the opening pace was too fast, and the audience couldn't keep up at all."

"The background story should be rich and colorful. If the audience cannot empathize, it is indeed difficult to connect with the character. I think Manager Guan's words are very good."

……

Several screenwriters agreed that Manager Guan was right and had nothing to add.

This situation made Guan Lu look at Qi Tian with a sense of smug satisfaction, and then at Wang Jingjing.

He didn't understand why Director Wang suddenly became interested in this short script. Generally speaking, one could make decisions about such a short script on their own, and there was no need to discuss it in a meeting.

However, after observing her for a long time, he still couldn't discern her purpose from behind Wang Jingjing's glasses, simply assuming that the newly appointed director wanted to demonstrate her authority and professionalism.

Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed. He had the best chance of taking the position of director of the screenwriting department after it became vacant, but who knew that a director would be parachuted in from the head office.

Although Guan Lu knew that Wang Jingjing had connections with the group's top management, he was not afraid. "You have connections, and I have connections too. Moreover, the entire department is my people. What can you do to fight me?"

After a while, when you realize that you can't command these people at all, that's the day you obediently leave.

Wang Jingjing's eyes dimmed slightly. She knew very well that since she had been parachuted in, everyone in this department except for Qi Tian, ​​who had just started his internship, was on the same page as Guan Lu.

She knew Guan Lu's abilities very well; he was an old-fashioned person who couldn't adapt to the current fast pace at all.

Most of the remaining screenwriters are just coasting along; in the past, this screenwriting department relied more on acquiring scripts from outside to make ends meet.

Calling it the scriptwriting department is an understatement; it's more like a business department.

She sighed inwardly and looked at Qi Tian: "Qi Tian, ​​this is your script. Tell me if these revision suggestions are appropriate."

Qi Tian shrugged helplessly. The whole department said the client's proposal was good, but in the end, he was the one who did the work.

In the past, he would definitely have revised it according to the client's requirements. After all, the client was the big spender, while he was just an intern editor. Whether it was a lot or a little revision, he would get the same salary, so why bother?

Now that he has the system, he can no longer follow the rules.

……

Ps:

The application was submitted Monday morning; those who hadn't invested yet invested quickly.
