Boot up the computer, start today’s work.
Having been with Mortals for over a month, she has completely settled in.
Every day she spends half a day finishing work, then sneaks in some writing in the afternoon, occasionally writing short drama snippets.
As a seasoned unsuccessful writer, she realizes she has quite a knack for this.
Short dramas have a quick production cycle, from filming to wrapping it takes about a week; the production is fast too, taking around a month to complete editing.
The plot, usually 2 minutes per episode, a short drama is about 80 episodes.
An episode only requires 500 words, and the whole thing is just 40,000 words.
The web novel she writes carries some exaggerated light novel elements, often criticized for illogical reasoning.
Although it doesn’t have issues like a "Los Angeles First People Hospital" level mistake, there are always bugs when it comes to interpersonal relations and business logic.
However, these don’t matter at all in short dramas!
Melodrama! The more melodramatic, the better! Twist after twist! No logic needed, just mindless satisfaction!
The protagonist has to be a wealthy heiress, a top tycoon, with assets valued in billions, with phrases like "spend one billion pocket money as you will," "a domineering CEO falling brainlessly in love with the ordinary me."
In this aspect, Guo Liuyuan, this classmate, really understands her well.
Isn’t this what she’s best at?
The current novel she is writing, the two male leads in it are exactly .
Hmph, Song still wants to adopt her?
If he dares to ask this face-to-face, she’d simply make a lion’s request and ask for one billion!
Xu Qing yawned, took out a packet of instant coffee from the drawer, just about to get up to fetch hot water.
The male colleague beside her, Li Shubin, directly placed a cup of Kudi in front of her, "I bought a group order of two cups online, can’t finish this one, help me out with it, will you?"
Xu Qing’s eyes instantly lit up, "So nice! Coconut latte, my favorite! Thank you, Brother Bin!"
"You’re welcome, ha."
Li Shubin was a colleague she met on the first day of joining, also a legal affairs specialist, quite warm-hearted.
He has helped her quite a lot in work, and occasionally shares some snacks with her.
Taking the coffee, Xu Qing cheerfully sips it.
Lost in thought, a cup of coconut latte goes down her stomach.
The nearby Li Shubin tapped on her desk, revealing a bright smile, "Friendly reminder, there’s a lottery event under the coffee, quickly check if you won."
"Huh?" Xu Qing blinked, raised the coffee cup high, saw a note stuck on the bottom.
Peeling it down open, a line read: "Congratulations, you won a [v me 50 prize]!"
Li Shubin extended a hand, "Come on, come on, v me 50!"
"Ah, Brother Bin, are you playing dirty? No money!"
Several male colleagues behind also gathered around, humorously teasing.
No one in the company currently knows about her equity incentives.
However, because of her lively and adorable personality, pretty appearance, she is very popular in the company.
Especially welcomed by male colleagues.
Amid the laughter and chatter, the surroundings suddenly quieted down.
Xu Qing cautiously lifted her head, then her eyes widened abruptly.
In the corridor, a handsome guy appeared out of nowhere.
Wearing a loose plain-colored high-necked T-shirt, casual trousers, with a well-figured physique, refined features, and great temperament.
His eyes gently indifferent, calmly passed by their desks.
The surrounding people instantly returned to their seats, held their breath, and worked seriously.
As the A-round investor, everyone in the company naturally knows him.
Watching Tang Song’s back, Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.
Generally, before he arrives, he’d let her know, having her go and greet him, why did he suddenly show up today?
Though it’s understandable, he is already the company boss now, coming here is like visiting his own company, no need to be so formal anymore.
Clearly said this morning about adopting!
Is it because he saw me playful with other male colleagues and felt unhappy?
Sitting dazed at the desk for a while, Xu Qing bit her light lips, feeling some anxiety.
What the heck! I’m not involved with them at all!
Xu Qing sat upright, began "working seriously," but her eyes couldn’t help but glance toward the office.
Time unknowingly reached past 5 PM.
Li Shubin whispered, "Qingqing, how about going to the nearby KFC together tonight? Like last week’s set meal."
"No thanks, Brother Bin, I won’t go." Xu Qing shook her head helplessly.
"Uh, alright then." Li Shubin hesitated, then could only let it go.
This colleague has a particularly good personality, usually when asked out for a meal, she’d happily agree, especially on Crazy Thursdays, she’d surely go KFC shopping once.
Not sure what’s going on today.
Sitting at her desk, Xu Qing wriggled her small butt, glanced again towards the office.
Hesitated for quite a while.
Opened WeChat and left a message for Tang Song: "I have reborn! Reborn to the day before my best friend slandered me, in my previous life my best friend backstabbed me, crazily spread my small video within the circle, because I was soft-hearted I did not retaliate. In this life I return reborn, ready to brave retaliation. V me 50, treat me to KFC, listen to my revenge plan, how about it?"
After sending the message, no reply was received immediately.
Xu Qing once again fell into a state of anxiety.
