Chapter 740: Busy
November 11th is the first preview day of Rongbao Autumn Auction.
As the bidder, Su Xing received a call from Manager Xin of Rongbao a few days in advance, inviting her to attend the preview.
Su Xing told the other party that she had to attend classes and might not have time to go.
On the evening of the 24th, Shen Bai also sent her a message.
Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said, "From tomorrow to the 28th, the auction items will begin a four-day preview. Miss Su, do you have time to go and take a look?"
Is it okay not to wake up? "I probably can't go. I have classes during the preview days."
Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said: "It doesn't matter. The preview is just to learn about some of the items in advance. Class is more important."
Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said: "The official auction will be held on the 29th and 30th, which is the weekend. Will you attend?"
Is it okay not to wake up? "I heard from Rongbao that my lot will be auctioned later, probably on the 30th. I should go to the last day of the auction."
Mr. Shen, who collects antiques, said, "Okay, see you on the 30th."
Can I not wake up? "Okay."
After they finished talking about business, they ended their chat.
Su Xing put down his phone and continued to be busy.
……
Su Xing has been really busy recently.
During the day, she would go to class as usual. When she didn't have classes and after lunch, she would go to the laboratory to repair the antique crafts she found in Panjiayuan.
In the evening, she went to the studio with Zhang Xueyan and Huang Wenwen.
Zhang Xueyan continued to study popular works on several comic platforms and write promotion plans.
Su Xing draws and studies scripts with Huang Wenwen.
Su Xing and several assistant painters and post-production staff have already started creating the first few episodes of "The Path of Drama and Spirituality".
Bao Yongqiang and Li Yinuo both like to come to work in the afternoon and go back later.
Song Yue and Shan Kexin have regular work and rest schedules and usually come to work during the day.
At Huanxing Manga Studio, employees are required to work eight hours a day and complete their work tasks no matter what time they come to work.
It is not possible to waste time slacking off, after all, comics need to ensure the update frequency.
If several assistant artists and post-production staff cannot keep up with the pace of Su Xing, the main editor, they will not meet the recruitment requirements and will definitely not pass the probation period.
If the studio's work needs to be rushed, overtime may be required.
Nowadays, no company dares to say that it will never let its employees work overtime.
At Huanxing Manhua, employees will be given normal overtime pay for overtime work, and there will be no long-term overtime or even a 996 work system. If the company is really too busy, it will continue to recruit employees.
Zhang Xueyan explained these conditions very clearly to the employees during the interview, and no one had any objections.
In Beijing, it is not easy to find a job with flexible working hours and not forced to work 996.
……
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, two more applicants came for interviews for the position of painter assistant.
Both of them are boys, and they were students introduced by the teachers of the Zhuifeng Comics Class.
The boys who came on Wednesday were the first batch of students accepted by teachers Li and Yu.
He brought a stack of works, and his foundation was quite solid.
However, Su Xing and Zhang Xueyan agreed that this boy was not suitable for their studio.
This boy is very confident and arrogant.
At the beginning of the interview, he regarded himself as Su Xing's senior brother, and there was always a sense of giving instructions in his words to Huanxing Manhui, a small studio that had just been established and had no official works released yet.
Su Xing and Zhang Xueyan listened to his speech politely with a smile on their faces, and then let him go back and wait for further notice.
As soon as the boy left the studio, Zhang Xueyan shook her head, "This person is not good enough. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate this big Buddha with a wrong mentality."
Su Xing smiled and said, "The dad flavor is a little stronger."
Zhang Xueyan also laughed, "Daddy style? Your word is quite accurate."
The boy who came for the interview on Thursday was a classmate of Su Xing. However, he went to the comics class almost every day at that time, so he finished the class quickly and graduated earlier than Su Xing.
The boy's name was Yuan Lei. Su Xing had some impression of him. He was a very humble and low-key person, but he studied very hard and had good talent. Teacher Li had praised him.
During the interview, Yuan Lei's performance was consistent with Su Xing's impression of him.
Su Xing also thought the works he brought were good.
In the end, Su Xing and Zhang Xueyan decided to keep Yuan Lei.
Yuan Lei was very happy. He had no interest in the major he studied in college, but he listened to his teachers and parents and had to study. After graduation, he rebelled and switched to studying comics.
This job is his first formal job in his life, and he likes it, so he is a little excited.
"I'll do a good job!"
"Welcome to join Huanxing Manhua."
"Come and complete the entry formalities tomorrow."
……
Now there are eight people in Huanxing Comics Studio.
In addition to Zhang Xueyan, the management and operation staff, and Song Yue, the cashier and administrative position, the other six people are the comic creation team.
Su Xing is the main writer, Huang Wenwen is the screenwriter, Shan Kexin, Li Yinuo and Yuan Lei are the three assistant painters, and Bao Yongqiang is the post-production director.
These people are enough for now, and the studio has stopped recruiting.
……
The evening of the 28th.
He Xu sent a message to his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for several days.
Xu: "What are you doing?"
Can I not wake up? "I just finished class and plan to go to the studio later."
Xu: "Have you had dinner?"
Is it okay not to wake up? "Not yet. I'll go to the studio with Zhang Xueyan, Huang Wenwen and the others to eat later."
Can I stay awake? "I've been catching up on the progress of the first few chapters these days, so time is a bit tight. Going out for dinner will take up some time. (Expression: Covering face)"
She knew that He Xu wanted to invite her out for dinner, but for the two of them to meet, rush to the restaurant, order food, wait for the food to be served, eat, and come back, it would take at least two hours.
She has to attend classes during the day, and only has time to go to the studio to work on comics at night...
She felt some guilt towards her boyfriend.
Can I stay awake? "When I'm done with my work tonight, I'll go to the apartment and take a look at the stumbling block? (Expression: shy)"
Su Xing sent three messages, but He Xu didn't reply.
She stared at her phone and touched her chin with her other hand. Could this guy be angry?
He doesn't seem like the type of person who would get angry with her just because she's busy with work.
Just when Su Xing was wondering whether she should call her boyfriend to comfort him, He Xu's message finally came.
Xu: "Sorry, I just received a call."
Xu: "Hmm... Can I come to your studio in a moment? I won't disturb you while you're working."
Can I stay awake? "Do you want to come over and wait for me to get off work? Sure. (Expression: winking)"
Xu: "Then don't eat in the office cafeteria. I'll bring you food."
Can I not wake up? "Okay~"
Su Xing naturally wouldn't refuse her boyfriend to feed her.
Xu: "What do you want to eat? How many people are there in your studio tonight?"
Su Xing asked in the group, who is in the studio?
The result was that Song Yue and Shan Kexin, who had regular lives, left work, while other employees came to work around noon.
Can you not wake up? "Six people are here."
Can you not wake up: "I love whatever you order~ (expression: blowing a kiss)"
