I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 151 Painting Cake

"In addition to raising funds, the greatest significance of the "Research on Novel in the New Century Twenty Years" project is to tell people that contemporary Eastern literature is dead and conservative. Contemporary literary research is meaningless. Internet literature may be the only way out. As for it Whether it is another dead end, we may not know until twenty years later.”

Li Peifeng asked this question just to find something to say, but he subconsciously felt that Zhao Qingge would give him a metaphysical or slightly encouraging answer. He did not expect that the other party's words were so gloomy and hopeless.

“Sometimes, I think you made the right choice not to teach in college.”

Zhao Qingge smiled: "If you teach, your job is the same as mine. I will tell you what your daily life will be like every day. You have to work hard to make a living, and you jump up and down to reimburse project funds. Even if you know it is meaningless, you have to evaluate your professional title. You You have to go to high school, so you still have to lead students to study these topics. But no one may understand the few papers you write out all year long. Even if someone does, it will only be praised by a very small number of people in the literary circle, and even outsiders will read it. Don’t even look at it.”

Li Peifeng pursed his lips: "Then why did you do literary research in the first place?"

"It's because of the education and family environment I received."

Zhao Qingge pondered: "On the other hand, it is also the love of literature, the exploration of the spiritual realm, the reinterpretation of human thoughts, and understanding of oneself through the thoughts of wise men."

Li Peifeng smiled: "Isn't that great? You also told me that love is the best driving force."

Zhao Qingge shook his head gently: "I also told you that literature is beautiful, romantic, and emotional. The vaguer the better. Research is to deconstruct it, it is boring and rational, and the more certain it is the better. So this It created a conflict... Anyway, I'm a little tired of it."

I know, I know, you're a little depressed.

Li Peifeng guessed at the other party's innermost thoughts, and wondered what he should say and do to relieve Zhao Qingge's depression...

"Dong dong~"

The door rang twice, and Lin Zhihui and Lu Jing pushed the door open and entered.

"Hello, instructor."

"Senior brother is here too?"

The two girls smiled broadly and walked in lightly, diluting the slightly depressing atmosphere in the room.

"Don't you have any classes in the morning?" Zhao Qingge also had a smile on his face.

"There is a class, but it will take a while." Lin Zhihui said: "We want to ask you about your new topic. I didn't hear something clearly during the group meeting."

Li Peifeng didn't hear it clearly, or he didn't hear it at all. Now Zhao Qingge explained it again, and he finally understood.

The so-called new topic is ‘Research on the International Communication of Internet Literature’. Old Zhao mentioned it to him before, but he didn’t pay attention at the time.

It is a key project of the National Social Science Fund and lasted for three years. The research content is as shown in the title.

But this time there will be two teachers cooperating with Zhao Qingge, and more people will participate. There are many tasks, and each person's tasks are divided differently. The two girls came to ask about their own division of labor.

"You are responsible for compiling the catalogue, collecting relevant data such as the number of overseas readers, income, countries involved, etc., and writing relevant papers... No matter how specific it is, just listen to your senior brother."

"oh oh."

The two girls nodded suddenly and looked at Li Peifeng.

"That, guide."

Li Peifeng whispered: "Let me ask, what am I responsible for?"

"How would you drive? What did you hear?"

Zhao Qingge frowned slightly: "You assist me in taking charge of the overall work. For the current specific tasks, you will work with me to write the project report. A group meeting on the new project will be held next Monday, and this report will be used."

The four teachers and students chatted for a while about the proposal report. During this period, Lu Jing suddenly started chatting privately with Li Peifeng in a low voice.

"Senior brother, where is the wallet I gave you?"

"I'm using it, but I usually keep it at home. I use it to hold bank cards, ID cards, etc. Thank you."

After signing the platinum contract, the two junior sisters each gave him a gift. Lu Jing gave him a wallet, and Lin Zhihui gave him sneakers. When the other party mentioned it, Li Peifeng also thanked him casually.

Lu Jing snorted a little dissatisfied: "There is no sincerity in verbal thanks. And do you still remember that you owe me a meal?"

"Remember, I promised you the beef hot pot last time."

Lu Jing then smiled: "So? You signed a platinum contract and you still don't show your appreciation?"

Li Peifeng's heart moved. Seeing that Lin Zhihui and Zhao Qingge seemed to have finished talking, he immediately said: "Director, do you have time tonight? If you are free, let's have a dinner together between teachers and students."

Zhao Qingge was stunned for some reason, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, what should we eat?"

…

"You can decide what you want to eat. I will have a dinner with our master tonight and won't be eating at home."

"Fine."

Xu Manying hung up the phone, and Li Peifeng also put down the phone and murmured to himself: "It seems that Man Ning's birthday is coming up in two days. What gift should I give you?"

If he can't think of it, he might as well go home and code words, and then think about which angel sister he wants to say "I support you" to him.

On the way, Wu Wenyue also called and asked him to come to the studio at noon to hold the first "Trinity" studio meeting.

"Man Ning, have you informed me?"

"She works overtime and won't come."

Wu Wenyue's tone dropped: "Are you coming?"

"...I'll go take care of lunch."

Li Peifeng could hear the uneasiness and expectation hidden in her tone, so instead of going home, she came to the studio behind her home to cheer her on.

Help you to mount your horse and take you for another ride. After all, it was Wu Wenyue's first time starting a business and becoming a big boss. She was still a bit frightened in such an important meeting for the first time and needed his encouragement.

"The important thing is the positioning of the character and the direction of the content. Who is she? A top student from North China Normal University. Occupation; basketball referee. Appearance; salty, sweet, warm or warm. Advantages; basketball and body appearance. Watching her video can tell What it brings; pleasing to the eye and pleasant to the body and mind. Fan portraits: half male and female, aged fifteen to thirty-five, maybe you can consider getting fans in Jiquan..."

At half past ten, Li Peifeng opened the door and saw two students, a boy and a girl, sitting in the office in the living room communicating.

"Hello, Brother Feng."

"Hi boss."

The two people called out two titles, but they were both a little reserved.

"No classes in the morning?" Li Peifeng said with a smile, "You are very hardworking. You came earlier than me."

"It's okay to skip a class of elective courses..."

"You guys keep talking."

Li Peifeng nodded: "It was a good chat, but we need to put it into words, write an account positioning report, and then talk to Wenyue. At the meeting, everyone will discuss it together and work together."

"OK."

After chatting for a few words, Li Peifeng entered Wu Wenyue's room and saw her sitting in front of the computer with a frown on her face, seemingly sorting out some documents.

"Close the door, come and help me think!"

"What?"

Li Peifeng sat next to him and looked at the screen, and said clearly: "The speech for the meeting?"

"Yeah, it's your first meeting...you have to be prepared, right?" Wu Wenyue was very irritated: "But I don't know what to say."

"Let me see."

Li Peifeng took the mouse, flipped it up and down, and nodded in appreciation: "It's very good. The commuting system, what time do you start work every day, and what time do you get off work. This must be explained as soon as possible, otherwise it will be chaotic. Reward and punishment measures, content incentives, everyone They are all content officers, and they have to come up with an idea every day, add an extra chicken drumstick to the lunch box, and drink milk tea... Yes, they are all good, they can mobilize enthusiasm without being too offensive."

Wu Wenyue heard his praise and breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't I miss anything? The KPI hasn't been done yet. I think we can wait until the video is released."

"You have to set a general direction first." Li Peifeng looked at it for a moment and said thoughtfully: "We are considered a new grass-roots team. They all come here with the attitude of learning and training. They don't trust the future of the studio. There are a few people who don't believe in the future of the studio." They will graduate in one semester, so you have to give them confidence and make them feel that although the salary is very low now, there is a future with us, so that they can be more motivated and continue to work for a long time. Otherwise, they don’t have to wait for the next spring recruitment. This group of people may all run away. The students are not determined, you have to give them chicken blood..."

"Then what should I say?" Wu Wenyue was confused: "I said if you work hard with me, our studio will definitely become popular and go public in the future?"

"Absolutely." Li Peifeng nodded and said: "If others are not confident, you have to be confident. Set a small goal every week to increase the number of followers, and set a big goal every month, such as how many ads to receive and how much profit to make. , the setting is slightly higher, but it can be completed with hard work. After completion, each of them will be given a bonus of 100 yuan to show their appreciation. Then tell them that their salary is expected to increase next semester. Note that this is an estimate. It will depend on the situation of the studio. , if it goes up by a hundred, it will go up, and if it goes up by a thousand, it will go up.”

"Anyway, you want them to look to the future and write a blank check. Don't talk about the present. You can't retain people now. It's hard to live in the capital with a formal salary of 3,000. These people have the name of North China Normal University, even if they are After graduating from a bachelor's degree, you can easily find a 5K job with your eyes closed. And you can say; we are all classmates, and this business venture is everyone's hard work and experience, whether it is or not, and the studio will grow with you. You have to Talk about identity, talk about feelings..."

Talk about feelings?

Wu Wenyue listened more and more familiarly, and suddenly realized: "Are you asking me to draw a pie?!"

Li Peifeng touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said: "They are all young people, easier to fool...ah, I mean they should have good appetites. Even if your cake is half-cooked, they can still eat it."

"You have so many bamboo shoots, you have taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!"

Wu Wenyue's eyes lit up and she gave up her seat: "I don't know how to draw cakes. You can write this."

"Fine."

Li Peifeng curled his lips and began to use the keyboard to make cakes.

Wu Wenyue was watching from the side, watching Mr. Li use idealism as the filling and grand narrative as the skin to draw a big pie. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that she would speak impassionedly about this at the meeting later. Speaking of which, he even felt aversion to cold.

But at the same time, Wu Wenyue realized that what Li had said to her before...ah, they were all fucking cakes!

I couldn't help but feel the fire rising in my heart, and the anger rising in my guts...

"Pa~"

Li Peifeng was shocked and angry: "Why did you hit me?"
