Chapter 612 Company
Li Xiuyu was very satisfied with Hu Mengdie's self-awareness. As long as she could distinguish between the big and small kings, she would not bother about it.
After sending the photo to Hu Mengdie, Li Zhuangsheng clicked on the thumbnails again, browsing them casually, his eyes lingering on one of them.
In the picture, Hu Mengdie is standing under a peach tree with a smile, looking up at the peach blossoms on the branches. The sun shines gently on the peach tree, and between the light and shadow, a few pink petals fall on her white dress, butterflies are flying around her, and a bird is sharpening its beak on the branch behind her.
Last year at this time, at the east gate, the peach blossoms were reflected in the bright makeup. Li Zhuangsheng suddenly remembered this line.
"The birds are crying in haste, the people are leaving, and the Moon Worshipping Tower is empty..."
Li Zhuangsheng couldn't help muttering to himself, but the next moment he finally came to his senses and felt a little ashamed.
He closed the photo browser and deleted Hu Mengdie's photos from his computer. The photos were still there on his phone, but he almost never deleted photos from his phone because he felt that photos were a record of life, and each photo represented a certain point in his life.
So he emptied his computer's Recycle Bin.
……
In the following week, Li Zhuangsheng spent his spare time looking for housing and buying equipment. Teacher Lu suggested that he could rent the equipment, which would save a lot of money, but Li Zhuangsheng still decided to buy it. So Teacher Lu suggested that he could buy second-hand equipment, enthusiastically provided some channels, and asked Qian Feishu to help.
Qian Feishu and Bai Min had already joined by default, so they would carefully check and try out the equipment before buying it. In less than half a month, the studio was basically built. In order to facilitate the employees, Li Zhuangsheng deliberately chose a studio near the subway, although the rent was higher.
"Finally everything is ready!"
Li Zhuangsheng stood in the office of about 200 square meters, looking at everything that had been arranged, and couldn't help feeling excited.
"Yes, all that's left is to recruit some people." Bai Min held the teacup in her hand, thinking that her boss was really thoughtful. Not only did the company have a full snack cabinet, but there was also brown sugar in the cabinet.
Although she still vaguely felt that Li Zhuangsheng would eventually lose money, it was not her concern to decide what to do. The rich man spent money to buy his dream, so why should she complain?
Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said, "I will find time to register with the Industry and Commerce Bureau in the next few days. You guys should keep an eye on the recruitment. The first batch of interviews will be scheduled for tomorrow, right? What are the positions? An animator and an editor, right?"
Qian Feishu leaned against the table and said, "Yes, the animator's resume is not bad. I took a look at his works and they are also OK. Let's interview him tomorrow."
Li Zhuangsheng nodded: "You and Senior Sister Bai Min decide who will be the animator, but the original painting is very important. Senior Sister Bai Min is the only one who can do it right now. The rest must be carefully checked. If there is a suitable candidate, please send the work to me first."
Qian Feishu smiled and gestured: "OK!"
"Uh..." Bai Min raised her hand hesitantly, "Actually, I have a friend who I think is capable of doing the original painting. Although she is my friend, she is actually quite capable, has some experience, and is also good at CSP..."
"Oh, it's okay. It's a good idea to promote someone who is related to you." Li Zhuangsheng waved his hand. "Then you can send her works, or let her try to draw one. Our painting style may be more like fine brushwork and landscape painting. If she is familiar with it, it will be no problem. If she has some basic knowledge, she will be able to get started better in the future."
Bai Min smiled and nodded.
"The pressure of drawing for what you want to do will be very high." Hu Mengdie smiled and said, "How many painters do you plan to hire?" "Original drawings and animation...about ten people." Li Zhuangsheng said, "And Senior Qian, as the director and storyboarder, will also participate in the picture correction."
Hu Mengdie has been helping Li Zhuangsheng these days, and also acting as a bridge between Li Zhuangsheng and Qian Bai. Li Zhuangsheng tells her not to help, but he is more touched by her efforts.
"Senior Qian, do we want to talk about Senior Rong's matter now?" Hu Mengdie looked at Qian Feishu.
"What's wrong?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"Oh, didn't Teacher Lu recommend a few seniors before? One of them, Rong, is four years older than me. He has been working in animation in BJ since graduation. Hu Mengdie talked to him these days. He felt that there was no future in Beijing and the housing prices in BJ were expensive. He happened to be from Anhui and wanted to return to Nanjing to develop..." Qian Feishu explained with a smile, "Hu Mengdie was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable, so she told me first. Actually, I'm fine. I also hope that the company can get better. Although I don't know that senior Rong, Teacher Lu showed us his work, which is really amazing and has won awards. I think with such an experienced senior leading us, we can indeed avoid a lot of detours."
Li Zhuangsheng looked at Hu Mengdie deeply, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He was deeply moved by Hu Mengdie's enthusiasm and help.
Hu Mengdie looked calm, as if she hadn't done anything. She just smiled and said, "It just so happens that Senior Rong will be coming to Nanjing next week. Would you like to meet him then? You can contact him first."
"...Okay." Li Zhuangsheng nodded.
"I originally wanted to establish the specific style of the animation in the next few days, but it seems that we have to wait until Senior Rong comes back before we do that." Bai Min raised an eyebrow, "What about the recruitment?"
Li Zhuangsheng thought for a moment and said, "For those who have already been scheduled for the interview, don't change it. You and Senior Qian will still interview them. For those who submit applications in the future, the interview time will be postponed. As for Senior Sister Bai Min's friend, have you asked her opinion?"
"In fact, I mentioned it to her, and she herself is totally capable of it."
In fact, Bai Min told the other party that "the boss is a handsome and rich boss brother", and the old pervert almost begged her for help in introducing him. Although the character of this "boss" seems to be different from the common understanding, she felt that she was not wrong overall.
She once tried to inquire with Hu Mengdie about what Li Zhuangsheng's family did, but Hu Mengdie only said that Li Zhuangsheng's father was a civil servant and his mother had run a small business. This gave Bai Min endless reverie.
Although Li Zhuangsheng is modest and elegant, he is decisive and capable in his handling of matters. Perhaps great things can really be accomplished under his leadership.
"Okay, ask her to add me as a friend and send me the painting." Li Zhuangsheng nodded. "If there is no problem, you can decide whether she will be an animator or an original artist."
"okay!"
……
The few of them discussed for a while and then adjourned the meeting. Li Zhuangsheng talked to Qian Feishu about Senior Rong again. Qian Feishu was also very open-minded and understanding. He smiled bitterly and said that he was worried about balancing the company and his studies, as well as his senior year graduation project. With Senior Rong here, he can rest assured and not worry about delaying the company's progress.
Li Zhuangsheng thanked Qian Feishu and said that his and Bai Min's 10% stake would not change. Qian Feishu was more open-minded about this. He thought that if the company was not profitable, then even a 100% stake would be useless. Of course, his sense of belonging to the company must have deepened.
"By the way, Mr. Li, you are single now. You should be able to see that Hu Mengdie likes you, right?" Qian Feishu said in a low voice.
