Chapter 566 The Fallen Zhou Liang

Anting Co., Ltd.

"As the development of short videos has become a red ocean, competition is everywhere, and profits have also dropped. When Mr. Hou was here, our company had already begun to get involved in the film and television industry, and we did the opposite."

As a company in the short video industry, Anting Co., Ltd. has reached the forefront. Its status, income, influence, and content all have a place. Every industry cycle has an end. When the industry reaches the end, the company must seek another source of income.

Hou Mengting set her sights on the traditional film and television industry.

In her words, although the film and television industry is declining, it is just an illusion. Long videos and short videos are equally important.

Under her leadership, the company immediately invested resources in the film and television industry.

Unfortunately, Hou Mengting retired before the company could produce any film and television works, and abandoned the company, leaving behind a bunch of stalls and ruining her son's life.

At this moment, the subordinate is reporting to the "new boss" about the business company.

Zhou Liang sat above, listening to the report and flipping through the documents. When the other party finished the report, he closed the document and said softly: "Okay, let's go ahead and do it."

He didn't understand the short video industry, which now involves the film and television industry, which is very stressful for a newly graduated college student.

Regarding the development of the company, he did not interfere or direct blindly. He just followed the rules and did whatever his mother arranged for him.

Hou Mengting has been in the industry for decades. She has experienced ups and downs and is well-informed. Zhou Liang is not yet capable of overturning her decision.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Li will ask you to discuss cooperation in a few days."

"Okay, I understand, thank you." He nodded.

The subordinate then left.

Zhou Liang sighed, walked to the window, and looked down at the crowds of people scurrying about for a few taels of silver.

But even though he has a few taels of silver, he still can't escape the laws of the world.

Suddenly, his pocket vibrated slightly, and he took out his cell phone. Someone sent a message. It was He Jiahong, his college roommate. Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they made an appointment to get together tonight.

Zhou Liang replied OK.

"Mr. Zhou, the police are coming to the company." At this moment, the office door opened and Ren Zi came in.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Liang frowned.

"One of our company's anchors was involved in fraud. The female anchor deceived a man's feelings in the name of love. She spent a lot of money on her, but got nothing in return. She was also deleted and blocked by the female anchor. She eventually called the police and sued the anchor. Fraud.”

Zhou Liang thought for a moment: "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes." Ren Zi continued, "After the boy was deceived, he found another account to reward the female anchor, and the female anchor used the same method to deceive the other party. The evidence is all clear."

Zhou Liang said calmly: "Cooperate with the police."

Ren Zi nodded and then asked: "By the way, that boy asked our company to return the proceeds. What do you think should be done?"

"Are you underage?"

"No, 27 years old."

"No retreat." Zhou Liang said, "If he has any dissatisfaction, let him go through the legal process directly."

The company is not a charity. Its essence is to pursue profits, and there is no question of returning the profits received.

If the other party is a minor, Zhou Liang will consider it as appropriate. However, adults are independent individuals and must bear responsibility for their own actions. It is impossible to refund the money.

If everyone asks for a return of proceeds after tipping, how can his company continue to operate?

I can give them all a refund.

One day, Zhou Liang was cooperating with the police to handle the follow-up work. He did not cover up or cut off his arm to survive.

In the end, the female anchor was kidnapped by the police. Because the amount involved in the case was not large, she was refunded the proceeds. The sentence was not long, and the matter was over in ten and a half months.

"Let's go." Zhou Liang waved to the female anchor, "After you come out, continue to work in the company, but don't lie to others next time, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." the female anchor replied gratefully.

Again, companies pursue profits. Although the female anchor commits a crime, from another perspective, she creates profits for the company.

Employees who can bring profits are good employees and naturally they should stay.

"Alas!" Zhou Liang sighed in his heart, "Businessmen are chasing fame and fortune, and I have fallen."

Then the police took the female anchor away. The boy was very angry when he heard that Zhou Liang gave the female anchor a bite of food and continued working.

Making a fuss in front of the company, seeking an explanation.

Zhou Liang ignored him and allowed him to mess around outside for less than half an hour. No one paid any attention to him. People passing by regarded him as a monkey and slipped away quietly.

Company employees discussed softly:

"Is Xiao Zhou always Mr. Hou's child? Why is he different from Mr. Hou's jealous character? Mr. Hou will never let that anchor continue to work."

"Xiao Zhou is always a businessman through and through."

"I think Mr. Zhou's approach is quite good."

"What's good? Don't you think it's a bit heartless?"

"I was cruel to that boy, but what does that boy have to do with our company? But to the anchor, I was friendly and gave him a job."

"We are company employees. Don't you think Mr. Zhou is more inclined to handle things like ours?"

"That's it."

"Mr. Xiao Zhou is so handsome and kind-hearted."

"."

After the processing was completed, the sun set and dyed half of the sky red.

Zhou Liang got off work and didn't know that employees talked about him behind his back, blaming it all on his kindness.

He didn't have much reason, just because there was profit to be made.

Zhou Liang went to the parking lot and drove away to prepare for the roommate party.

After a while, he arrived at the library, where He Jiahong worked.

Since that "meal care" incident, the roommate has undergone many changes. It seems that he has suddenly lost a lot of desires and has a very clear view of everything in the world.

After graduating from college, I randomly found a simple job without caring about salary or benefits, and started to live a "sleeping" life.

Compared to the distant future, He Jiahong cares more about the present.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." He Jiahong complained when he saw him at the door.

Zhou Liang: "It's only six o'clock now."

"I get off work at five o'clock."

Zhou Liang felt a little envious.

Then he drove to pick up another roommate, Bai Li.With his abilities, Bo Li finally found a satisfactory job as an intern editor in a company. The salary was good and the benefits were good, but the work pressure was too great.

The two of them stayed downstairs at Baili Company until after nine o'clock before seeing each other.

The three of them have been friends for several years and didn't pay too much attention. They randomly found a barbecue stall and ordered a bunch of delicious food, including mutton skewers, grilled fish, oysters, minced garlic eggplant, and scallops.
The taste is not as good as the food in a five-star hotel, but with the stimulating seasonings of chili pepper and MSG, it is enough to soothe the appetite of ordinary people.

The three of them were eating supper and chatting about their college years, which was quite pleasant.

"Oops!" Bo Li held a skewer in one hand, looked at the sky and sighed, then looked at Zhou Liang, "How is work, Liang Zi? It must be very satisfying to be a big boss and manage hundreds of employees under your hands. Bar?

I used to think that I didn't think you were anything special, but after entering the society, I realized that you have only one advantage compared to me, and that is that you were born in a wealthy family. But the only advantage completely crushed me. "

During college, Zhou Liang ate and lived with several roommates. They even ate simpler than them and lived a more ordinary life. He didn't have much experience with Zhou Liang's family situation. But after graduating and finding a job, Bo Li suddenly realized that The gap between Zhou Liang and them is the gap between heaven and earth, a goal that is difficult to achieve in a lifetime.

Bo Li couldn't help but sigh.

He Jiahong slapped the table: "Liang Zi pays the bill tonight."

"." Zhou Liang seriously suspected that the two of them had planned it and asked him to pay the bill. He didn't take it to heart and answered in a calm tone, "Honestly, being the boss is boring."

The two looked at each other with contempt and disdain: "Tch!"

"Haha." Zhou Liang smiled, "Since I took over the company, I have gone to work at nine in the morning, got off work at ten in the evening, and taken an hour's break at noon. Even on holidays, I still have to deal with company affairs, and I am so busy that I am dizzy.

Do you two still feel good? "

"Damn!" He Jiahong softly spit out the quintessence of Chinese culture, "I get a headache just thinking about it. Who is happy in this world?"

Zhou Liang and Bai Li looked at He Jiahong together: "What do you think?"

He Jiahong: "Hehe! I'm quite happy."

"."

In a lonely big city, sometimes it is a leisurely thing to chat with a few friends, express your heart and heal the scars at work.

While the three of them were chatting, they also took the time to call Yan Wei, a "civil servant" in his hometown.

Compared to their three brothers, Yan Wei is more carefree, has a smooth career, and a stable relationship. Apart from being beaten a little more, Yan Wei has no major problems, which makes the three of them envious.

"Liangzi, are you really not planning to get married?" He Jiahong asked, "Being born in a wealthy family, you are blind. If I were you, I would live my whole life happily and marry three or five wives. What a happy life it would be. "

"So you can't become Liang Zi." Bo Li rolled his eyes, "Love is pure and flawless. Can you stop thinking with your dirty mind?"

He Jiahong Zheng'er Ba Jing: "No!"

After chatting until late at night, Zhou Liang drove the two of them home.

Watching the BMW disappear into the darkness, Bo Li and He Jiahong slowly looked away.

He Jiahong: "I found a fortune teller for Liang Zi."

Bo Li raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

"Proud at work, frustrated in love."

"Alas! The calculation is so accurate." At this point, Bo Li thought of Zhou Liang's character and his calm appearance, and began to worry about his roommate, "There is no way, Liang Zi's brain is different from that of ordinary people. On the road of love, He is pursuing something unusual, but he has no clear idea of ​​what that thing is."

After a pause, he said to He Jiahong: "We are Liang Zi's good brothers. We need to find a way for Liang Zi."

"It's okay." He Jiahong was quite calm and waved his hand, "While I'm telling Liang Zi's fortune, I'm also telling you a fortune. You are frustrated in your career and love life, so don't worry about Liang Zi. You should worry about yourself first. "

Hearing this, Bo Li suddenly became furious: "Fuck your grandma, any bastard cursed me, I'm going to fight him."

"."

Those who calculate others are accurate, and those who calculate themselves are bastards.

The double standards are vividly reflected in Bo Li.

He Jiahong rolled his eyes, ignored the other party, and immediately left for the community.

August is when the scorching sun is at its strongest, and today the weather is a little gloomy, with a hint of salty sea breeze and a sign of heavy rain.

Zhou Liang was dressed formally, and his black suit made him look extremely handsome.

He and several subordinates came to Leyi Culture You Co., Ltd.

When the front desk saw him, his eyes sparkled and his voice was sweet: "Mr. Zhou, come with me."

"Thank you."

The woman at the front desk lowered her head: "It's okay."

Today Zhou Liang made an appointment with Mr. Li from Leyi Company to discuss joint cooperation matters.

Oops, Mr. Zhou thanked me, what should I do?Should I accept his pursuit?Is it too unreserved to accept directly? Is it too heartless not to accept it? I don’t want to see Mr. Zhou crying, and my heart will be broken.
In an instant, the company receptionist had thought about her and Zhou Liang's life.

It's a pity that the fate between the two stopped at the door.

The person at the front desk looked at Zhou Liang's figure for a long time.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm dumped."

Zhou Liang entered the office.

The CEO of Leyi Company stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are indeed a talented person. He is even more handsome than the rumors. He takes control of Anting Company at such a young age. It really puts us old men to shame."

"Mr. Li is too generous. I'm just a junior who relies on my family. I don't have much experience. If I fall short in the future, I hope Mr. Li will forgive me."

Zhou Liang is a simple person and is not very willing to compliment others, but this is how the business world is. Talking about others and talking about ghosts, you must always compliment each other and carry the sedan chair together, so that business can continue.

Because Anting Company started to get involved in the film and television industry, it needed famous scripts for filming, and Leyi Company happened to have a few scripts that fit their company's plan.

The two companies hit it off immediately and prepared for cooperation.

Mr. Li made Zhou Liang a cup of tea and nodded immediately. The latter picked up the tea, took a sip and savored it carefully: "Good tea."

"Mr. Zhou is indeed well-informed." Mr. Li gave a thumbs up.

Zhou Liang smiled.

It's not that he has much knowledge, he just drinks too much with Zhou An.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two immediately discussed related matters.

There was no need to discuss too much, because when the two met, their employees had already taken care of the details. As company bosses, they met to get to know each other.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry. I have something to discuss with you personally. If you don't want to, just tell me." Mr. Li patted his forehead and suddenly remembered something.

Zhou Liang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at the sudden process. It was different from what was agreed upon, but it didn't show on his face. He still had a smile on his face: "That's all you say."

"There are some problems with the script that my company sold you. The author doesn't want to make too many changes to the script. He hopes to maintain the overall world view and plot."
