I just want a single ending

"You mean, your future self can be worth that price?" Kamikawa Suku continued with her words.

"I never said that."

Shoko Toyokawa still has self-awareness.

She still has only a limited understanding of this field, so it is a bit too early to say such things now.

Kamikawa Su said affably, "Then why don't you consider my giving you 50% of the profits an investment in your future? I believe you can definitely achieve something in this area, increasing the value of my account."

"Of course it can be defined that way."

Toyokawa Shoko did not deny this.

"That's okay."

As soon as Kamikawa Su finished speaking, she added, "But investment isn't like that. Giving them so much help and benefits in the early stages is pure charity."

Due to family reasons, she has some knowledge in this area.

"Now that things have come to this, I'll just be frank and I hope you'll listen carefully."

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Kamikawa Suku decided to convince the other party completely.

"no problem."

Toyokawa Shoko sat up straight and pretended to listen attentively.

"Let me ask you a question first. When you realized the benefits I offered were so high, far exceeding the average income, what were your thoughts?" Kamikawa Su said word by word. "This is one of the questions I just asked you to answer."

"First I was surprised, then I couldn't understand."

Since it happened just yesterday, Shoko Toyokawa remembered it quite clearly.

"So, among those emotions, do you feel like you want to thank me for paying you so much and treating you so well?" Kamikawa Suku began to ask. "Or perhaps you feel happy and joyful, even if it's just a little bit, that you've earned a lot and are worth so much money?"

“I think this is still available.”

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't completely deny this.

She was indeed confused about it at the time, but it seemed like she didn't feel happy at all, which was a bit too exaggerated.

There will definitely be some, more or less.

"The investment I'm talking about is this aspect, your gratitude to me."

Kamikawa Suku slowly explained.

"Since you have such emotions, what would your reaction be if you didn't realize it recently, but realized it a long time later?"

"..."

So, Shoko Toyokawa thought about what he said.

If three months have passed, that would be three months' royalties plus 50% of the video's advertising revenue, which is a considerable amount of money.

And that money will be used to improve her life and saved.

At this time, after realizing the fact, my first reaction was probably to feel embarrassed for taking so much money from him for nothing. I wanted to return the money and talk to him about this matter again like today.

Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa shook her head.

No, it's unlikely to be like today.

Because they have known each other for three months, her relationship with Kamikawa Suku will be much better.

And after working together for three months, the atmosphere between them would definitely not be as tense as this.

In addition, there is a possibility that the video will go exceptionally well, making her feel that she is worth the price, and under his persuasion, she will accept the 50% profit.

I can only express my gratitude to him.

In other words, the later you realize that the income is not right, the more grateful you will be to him.

After realizing this, Shoko Toyokawa looked at Kamikawa again.

"You should have figured it out, right?" He continued smiling.

"I understand, but why do you want me to feel grateful to you?"

Shoko Toyokawa felt more and more that his purpose was not simple.

This approach is undoubtedly directed at oneself.

"The answer is simple: to make money," Kamikawa said matter-of-factly. "The more grateful you are to me, the harder you'll work for me. That's right, right?"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko did not answer.

It was something she could do, work hard to repay him.

"So, this is my purpose. I hope you will work hard for me." Kamikawa Supo seemed a little embarrassed. "It's almost time to end it. I don't want to talk about this topic anymore."

"No, no, I'm not satisfied with that explanation."

Even though the explanation just now sounded reasonable, it was actually full of loopholes and still could not completely convince Toyokawa Shoko.

"If you just want me to work hard for you, you can set that 50% profit as a reward or something like that, telling me that the harder I work, the more I earn."

"Rather than making me work hard to repay your gratitude, the approach I'm talking about is more effective and direct."

"If you really want to make money, there's no need to go through so much trouble, and there's no need to wait so long."

"This contradictory approach makes no sense."

She didn't believe that Kamikawa Suzu, who was the top student in the grade, couldn't even understand this.

"Honestly, you're really troublesome." Shangchuan Su sighed, "You really must know my true purpose. Isn't it better to just believe it?"

"You are hiding something."

Shoko Toyokawa knew that the other party would not be able to express his true thoughts so easily.

"Who would casually reveal their true thoughts?" Kamikawa Suku took another sip of coffee. "Do you want to continue listening?"

"of course."

Shoko Toyokawa was very curious about his purpose.

Chapter 158: Work for you forever?

"Before you continue, can you tell me what your impression of me is now?"

Thanks to the frank communication just now, Shangchuan Su could clearly feel that the atmosphere between him and her had eased a lot, and he took the opportunity to find out this key information.

"He's not clear about my purpose, seems to be planning something, and has a slightly strange personality."

Shoko Toyokawa thought about it carefully and gave an answer.

Before I realized the issue of the 50% advertising revenue, my impression of him was that he was a polite, sensible person whose goal was to make money.

And now it has become what I just said.

"It sounds like a marginally positive image."

Shangchuan Su nodded thoughtfully, understanding the general situation of what was to come.

"Does this have anything to do with what you're about to say?"

Toyokawa Shoko naturally had such questions.

"It's probably related, because what I'm going to say next might damage my image." Kamikawa Supo looked quite distressed. "I really don't want to say it."

Shoko Toyokawa didn't respond, but just looked at the other person quietly.

She could see that the other party liked to use conversation to delay time.

Therefore, the best solution at this time is to ignore him.

"Let's get back to the point. I want to ask you one more thing. Since you've already realized that your 50% profit is unreasonable, what do you think is a reasonable profit?"

Seeing her like this, Kamikawa Su began to ask his questions.

"10% to 20%."

Toyokawa Shoko had already considered this.

Shangchuan Su followed up with a question, "What if I give you 10% of the profits? And as you work hard, the account's profits continue to increase, just like the assistant in that news article, would you ask for a higher salary?"

"... I won't make any demands in this regard until this contract ends, but if we sign a new contract, I will make reasonable demands for a salary increase."

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment and then expressed her thoughts.

Every worker wants a salary increase, so she had no intention of hiding it.

What's more, according to his statement, it was due to her hard work, so there was no problem in asking for a salary increase.

"What you say sounds good, but is it really possible?" Shangchuan Su asked back. "Just like that millionaire blogger who refused to give his assistant a raise, why do you think I would agree to yours?"

"Because you've given me 50% of the profits now, there's no reason to refuse."

Isn't this obvious?

Now we are giving 50% profit, but it is not possible to increase it from 10% to 50%, right?

How is this possible?

"No, in that hypothetical scenario, I offered you a 10% return. Why would you rely on your current experience to make that judgment?" Shangchuan Su denied the claim. "What if I change my mind and decide that a 10% return is enough, and I reject your request for a raise? After all, I've already given you a 10% return."

"That's indeed possible, but I didn't react."

At this time, Shoko Toyokawa also reacted.

She subconsciously used the known information to think, forgetting that it was a hypothesis.

"Similarly, I can't assume you'll be willing to continue the contract with me after it ends." Kamikawa Suku made a reasonable guess, "Even if I give you 50% of the profits."

"Is such that."

Toyokawa Shoko did not refute this.

Even if you say now that you will sign the contract, the other party may not believe it.

When it comes to money, you can't just believe everything someone says.

There are many disputes in this world caused by money.

"So, I've considered the possibility of you starting your own business or switching jobs after your contract ends," Kamikawa explained further. "How much do you think you could earn by doing that?"

"If I were to change jobs, I would definitely not get 50% of the account's earnings. Starting my own business is not guaranteed. It could far exceed my current level, or it could plummet."

She was quite clear about this simplest truth.

Kamikawa Su has 600,000 fans. If she really wants to switch to a blogger with the same number of fans, the income she will get will be very limited.

At most, I can get 50% of the profit as I do now. As for more, it is simply impossible.

If, as an employee, I earn more than my boss, wouldn't that be against the will of Heaven?

If you want to achieve success on your own, you need the help of luck.

No matter how powerful you are, you may be overwhelmed.

Kamikawa Suku was confirming, "So, can I assume that the 50% I'm giving you is the maximum salary?"

"Ah."

After talking about this point, Shoko Toyokawa vaguely guessed his intention.

"Under the circumstances, there's no reason for you to change jobs after your contract ends, right?" Kamikawa said with a smile. "Or perhaps you want to try to start your own business?"

"There's really no reason to change jobs, and starting your own business is also not very reliable." Shoko Toyokawa did not refute.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that continuing to sign the contract with him is the best solution.

There is no need to start your own business and gamble on your luck.

"That's my real purpose. Are you satisfied now?" Shangchuan Su finished his explanation. "I just wanted to stop you from complaining or starting your own business."

"But even if that's the case, you shouldn't give me 50% of the profits right from the start."

Shoko Toyokawa still couldn't accept it.

"It's still the same as what I said just now. It's still not that difficult to achieve your goal."
