Chapter 1488

Xiao Xiao Weiwei herself was not some naive girl. Although she hadn't done much business before, in the past year or two, she had tasted the bitterness of the world, so she now understood the basic survival rules of society very well, which was to strive for her own interests as much as possible.

Moreover, she wasn't alone now; there were hundreds of young girls behind her relying on her for a living, so she naturally wanted to strive for more benefits for everyone.

On Chen Mengmeng's side, upon hearing that Xiao Xiao Weiwei wanted one million, she immediately looked at Zhong Tianyu on the side subconsciously.

She was just Zhong Tianyu's assistant; whether this money should be spent or not depended entirely on Zhong Tianyu's wishes.

Zhong Tianyu's expression was extremely ugly at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and said: "This Xiao Xiao Weiwei has a really big appetite! She dares to ask me for one million for such a small matter; this is clearly trying to extort me! Does she really think I'm a sucker?"

Seeing Zhong Tianyu get angry again, Chen Mengmeng hurriedly said: "Young Master, should I refuse her now?"

Zhong Tianyu glared at Chen Mengmeng and cursed: "Do you have a brain? If I refuse her now, what will I do when I arrive in Jin Ling and no one is there to pick me up? How will today's press release be sent? How will the trending search be bought?"

After speaking, Zhong Tianyu said with a cold face: "You tell her, one million is one million, but I will pay 500,000 first, and the remaining 500,000 will be paid after the matter is finished."

Zhong Tianyu thought very simply: such a hasty matter couldn't be contracted at all; everything was a verbal agreement. Pay 500,000 first, and the remaining 500,000 would definitely not be paid after the matter was finished.

Don't look at Zhong Tianyu's family as wealthy and himself as an A-list star; his early sunk costs were too large, and he needed to continue pouring money in to maintain his "top-tier" label, so he was particularly concerned about costs.

What made Zhong Tianyu even more annoyed was that he chose the music route to pursue Gu Gu Qiuyi. In this day and age, the money-making ability of singers was a far cry from that of actors.

Don't look at how he could have an income of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year from various performances, variety shows, and announcements; the promotion and marketing costs behind each year were basically on par with the income.

If he still couldn't secure the huge gold mine that was Gu Gu Qiuyi, Zhong Tianyu even had the idea of quitting the entertainment industry. Always doing loss-making business like this, no matter how much money the family had, it wasn't a good thing.

Chen Mengmeng also understood Zhong Tianyu's meaning: pay 500,000 first, and the remaining 500,000 would definitely be out of the question.

Although she didn't want to do this kind of thing without business ethics, since the boss had spoken, how could she dare to disobey? So she had to say to Xiao Xiao Weiwei: "President Xiao, our boss agreed. One million is no problem, but half of the money must be paid first, and the other half will be paid after the matter is finished."

Xiao Xiao Weiwei had been cheated so many times before that she was no longer the stupid woman she used to be. She instantly understood the other party's intention, so she said: "Miss Chen, if your company is willing to cooperate, I will start arranging it after the full amount is paid in one lump sum. If you are not willing, then forget it. I do not accept any form of bargaining here. Even paying 99% first and 1% later won't work. Please forgive me."

After listening, Zhong Tianyu said with a livid face: "This woman is really ruthless; she cut off all my room for bargaining at once!"

Chen Mengmeng asked helplessly: "Young Master, what should we do now?"

Zhong Tianyu cursed: "What else can we do, damn it? Agree to her! Tell her to hurry up and arrange for people to go! If I don't see more than three hundred female fans after I get off the plane, I'll kill her!"

Chen Mengmeng asked tentatively: "Then should I let finance transfer the money now?"

"Good!" Chen Mengmeng gritted her teeth and said: "Ask for the other party's account, then notify finance to transfer the money. I will approve it directly on my phone."

"Okay."

Chen Mengmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this matter wasn't her fault, if it wasn't resolved in the end, Zhong Tianyu would definitely cause trouble for her.

Fortunately, it was finally resolved.

Although a lot of money was spent, this bill would definitely be charged to Xu Dandan's account; it had nothing to do with her.

So, she hurriedly confirmed the cooperation with Xiao Xiao Weiwei, asked Xiao Xiao Weiwei for the collection account, and immediately arranged for finance to be responsible for the payment.

While Zhong Tianyu boarded his private jet and waited for takeoff, finance finished the transfer process. After Zhong Tianyu approved it on his phone, Xiao Xiao Weiwei immediately received feedback from finance that she had received the one million transferred by Zhong Tianyu's actor agency studio.

Xiao Xiao Weiwei was very happy. In her view, this business was simply to improve everyone's lives, so she immediately sent a voice message in the company's thousand-person QQ group and tagged all members: "Sisters, I just received a big deal!"

Many people in the group hurriedly asked what the big deal was.

Xiao Xiao Weiwei said: "It's a temporary job to act as female fans at the airport. The other party wants three hundred people to arrive at Jin Ling Airport in two hours. The pickup process is half an hour in total. This time, the client is a tycoon, and the reward is 2,500 per person!"

Xiao Xiao Weiwei received one million this time. According to the process, she kept 250,000 in profit for the company and took out the remaining 750,000 to give back to the employees, which worked out to exactly 2,500 per person.

Once this news was sent out, the group immediately exploded!

Who would dare to imagine that going to the airport, with the round trip adding up to no more than three hours, could earn 2,500 yuan? Usually, a job of such a short time wouldn't exceed 500 yuan at most.

So, hundreds of people in the group replied immediately, and everyone's reply was about the same: "Sister Xiao Weiwei, I'll go, I'll go! Count me in!"

After all, the income from this event had increased several times, and no one wanted to miss this good opportunity.

However, the event required three hundred people, and there were more than a thousand people in the group including full-time and part-time staff. With more monks than gruel, how to allocate it became a rather tricky problem.

Xiao Xiao Weiwei pondered repeatedly and said: "Since only three hundred people are needed this time, we have the following conditions for selecting people."

"First, prioritize full-time signed employees of Shangmei Company;"

"Second, screen from the full-time signed employees according to the attendance rate of last month from high to low. The three hundred people with the highest attendance rate can get this opportunity;"

"Third, if the selected person doesn't have time to go, the quota will be deferred!"

Once these conditions came out, there was joy and sorrow in the group.

Those who were happy were naturally the full-time signed employees, and those with relatively high attendance rates;

Those who were worried were the part-time employees. They originally thought that if they didn't sign a full-time contract, they could cooperate with multiple companies, so they would have more resources and be freer. But they didn't expect that when there was a good thing, the company would prioritize providing it to the signed employees of this company.

Although these part-timers were very depressed, they had nothing to say. This was the price of not signing a contract and wanting freedom, just like the difference between formal employees and temporary workers; the benefits would naturally be different.

Besides this, the full-time signed employees were also convinced by this rule of sorting according to attendance rate.

After all, for etiquette models like them, the most important assessment standard for creating revenue for the company was the attendance rate. The prices were all about the same; whoever attended more created more revenue for the company. When encountering such a good thing, naturally, these employees with outstanding contributions should be prioritized.

Seeing that everyone had no objections to her decision, Xiao Xiao Weiwei immediately said: "Let Sister Liu from finance send our attendance rate from last month to the group. All employees who are in the top three hundred and have no time issues, find Sister Liu to register within ten minutes. Sisters who are in the one hundred after the three hundred should also pay more attention. If any of the first three hundred people cannot go, or if they haven't registered within ten minutes, it will be regarded as giving up. At that time, you will all have the opportunity to get a deferred chance!"
