After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 578 Master and Maid

Zhou Haoran now has his own office.

After joining the company, I no longer need to go to the program team every time.

That day, Dong Lan brought over a charming and voluptuous young woman.

She has an upright posture and beautiful curves, with a full bust, a slim waist, and wide hips. Her hourglass figure is particularly prominent. Perhaps due to her love of exercise, her skin has a healthy glow, and her muscles are firm but not bulky.

"Zhou Tai, let me introduce you. This is Jia Qingwen, the new editor-in-chief of 'Everyone's Art'."

Dong Lan smiled broadly.

"Editor-in-Chief Jia, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhou Haoran stood up, smiled and shook hands with her. He felt that her hand was soft and warm, and it felt delicate, like that of a little girl.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, thank you for your trust in me!"

Jia Qingwen shook hands with him while bowing.

If she wanted to be parachuted into this position, she should first thank Zhou Tai. She just didn't expect Zhou Tai to be so young; he seemed about the same age as her sister's eldest nephew.

The difference between people is truly vast!

Her nephew is still in school.

Zhou Tai was already a leader with real power within the station.

Zhou Haoran invited her to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, "I own a teahouse called Red Mansion. Your name, Jia Qingwen, also comes from Red Mansion. It's quite a coincidence."

"My original name was actually Jia Qing."

"what?"

“When I was in college, the TV series ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ was very popular. My classmates all called me Jia Qingwen, and we got used to it. Now, many of my classmates have forgotten and still think that my original name was Jia Qingwen.”

Jia Qingwen is also clever.

A person's name is the first impression.

Changing it to such a familiar and evocative name is far more evocative than the previous "Jia Qing".

Dong Lan, who was her best friend at work, joked, "If you ask me, since you're going to change your name, you should choose something nicer, like Jia Xifeng, Jia Yuanchun, or Jia Daiyu. That's what it means to be a lady. Changing it to Jia Qingwen would just make you a maid."

Jia Qingwen pursed her lips, "If I could be by the side of a master like Master Bao, even being a maid would be a good life."

Dong Lan said with delight, "Zhou Tai, she's hinting at something to you!"

"I'm not Jia Baoyu!"

Zhou Haoran quickly distanced himself, saying he didn't have the same level of charm as Jia Baoyu, who was good with both men and women.

Jia Qingwen looked at Dong Lan and said with a slight reproach, "That's right, Zhou Tai is so dignified. He doesn't look like Jia Baoyu, who is just a playboy who doesn't take responsibility. Jia Baoyu ended up as a beggar. He wasn't destined to be a master. Zhou Tai is so imposing. That's what a master should be."

"What do you mean by fate..." Zhou Haoran waved his hand, "This is a new era, let's not talk about those things anymore."

Jia Qingwen chuckled and said, "Some old sayings should still be believed. I'm destined to be a maid for life, while Zhou Tai is destined to be a master."

Dong Lan chuckled and said, "Zhou Tai, she's hinting at something. You're the master, and she wants to be your maid."

"I wouldn't dare to hope for that kind of blessing."

Jia Qingwen sighed softly.

Zhou Haoran felt a strange sensation in his heart.

I thought to myself, "Didn't these two agree on this beforehand?"
This is a harmonious one.

"They are all colleagues in the company. The most important task is to do the job well."

Zhou Haoran said with righteous indignation.

Dong Lan said with a smile, "At work, of course we have to work hard. But when we're together in private, we don't have to be as reserved as at work, and we can have a different kind of relationship."

Jia Qingwen was also very direct, lacking any of the reserve and shyness of a young girl. She said with self-pity, "If I could be by the side of someone like Zhou Tai, I would accept being a foot-washing maid."

Dong Lan laughed and said, "Zhou Tai, why don't you have her wash your feet sometime when you have some free time?"

"Alright, this is the workplace, let's talk about work."

Zhou Haoran didn't chat with the two of them. He seriously explained the purpose of "Everyone Come Together" and advised Jia Qingwen to obey the producer Hu Xiaochen's arrangements and cooperate with her to do a good job in the program.

As for washing feet...

Zhou Haoran did not go to the hotel that noon.

He contacted Aunt Wan.

I picked an empty room near the TV station and got the key.

It only takes six or seven minutes to walk there.

From now on, I won't go to hotels for anything.

It's more convenient to stay at home.

At least we now have a designated room for a midday rest.

Zhou Haoran first asked Dong Lan to bring over a basin of water. He sat on the edge of the bed and had Dong Lan kneel on the floor to wash his feet.

Dong Lan was also quite aware of this, and jokingly said, "You are destined to be a master, while I, like Jia Qingwen, am destined to be a maid."

Zhou Haoran said helplessly, "Don't make any random arrangements."

"Qingwen isn't bad, is she?" Dong Lan gently massaged the soles of his feet with her fingers, looking up at him. "She runs every morning, and her skin is very well-maintained. Besides, her status is more suitable, unlike me, who has to sneak around."

Zhou Haoran asked, "What identity would be more appropriate?"

Dong Lan sighed softly, "She's a single mother. She's been raising her daughter alone since her divorce. Her daughter is five years old and about to start elementary school. She wants her to go to a foreign language school. Those private schools cost tens of thousands of yuan in tuition, and she's having financial difficulties."

Zhou Haoran said angrily, "And then you set your sights on me? You guys are really good friends."

"You're the master, after all," Dong Lan said obsequiously. "Since you're the master, isn't it only right that you have a few maids to serve you? For people like us, being a maid is enough; we don't ask for titles or ranks." "We'll see!"

Zhou Haoran admitted that Jia Qingwen was also very attractive. From a purely sensory perspective, she seemed similar to Dong Lan—both were the type of top-notch bed partners. It would be nice to have a taste of her.

But he's a long-term thinker.

We must not be blinded by short-term gains, which could lead to long-term losses.

Dong Lan pursed her lips and said, "Master, I know what you're worried about."

"Hmm?" Zhou Haoran tacitly accepted her advocacy of this master-servant relationship. "What do you know?"

Dong Lan asked, "Do you have a digital camera?"

"There's something at home..."

Zhou Haoran nodded. Teacher Jiang wasn't interested in business, but she had many artistic hobbies, such as piano, painting, and poetry. She also liked photography, taking pictures of flowers, plants, and small animals.

There are several cameras in the house, including a high-end camera worth tens of thousands of yuan that was brought back from Japan. Aunt Wan even mocked him, saying, "Your photography skills aren't that great, but you've bought a lot of nuclear weapons."

"Next time you bring it over, take some pictures for me."

Dong Lan's eyes sparkled as she made the suggestion.

"Photograph?"

Zhou Haoran did not understand what she meant.

Dong Lan lowered her head and gently washed his feet, saying in a soothing tone, "In the past, a maid's indenture was in the hands of her master, so she could only rely on him and was very reliable because of his loyalty. Now that society doesn't have indentures anymore, taking some photos to keep is almost the same as having an indenture."

"Uh……"

Zhou Haoran suddenly realized what kind of photos she was referring to.

“In the past, maids had to be loyal to their masters, because if they betrayed them, their masters could take their indenture and sell them to brothels. It’s pretty much the same in society now. As long as you take some photos, loyalty is automatically guaranteed.” Dong Lan then looked up, biting her lip lightly. “I’ll take the photos first. I’m not afraid. I’m willing to leave some evidence in your hands.”

"Okay, I'll come over next time to take some private photos for you."

Zhou Haoran thought the suggestion was excellent. However, it had to be taken with a digital camera, not film. If film was used, the photos would need to be developed at a photo studio, and then leaked. Taking photos with a digital camera, storing them on a hard drive, and then keeping them in a safe was the safest option.

Just like Dong Lan said.

This kind of photo is like a contract of indenture.

There's no need for that with your own women.

People outside the industry do have some ways to avoid long-term risks.

……

"Zhou Haoran!"

Dongfang Lang spoke in a high-pitched tone on the phone.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhou Haoran cursed.

Dongfang Lang laughed heartily and said, "It's all done!"

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised. "Aido VCD? So fast?"

Dongfang Lang said casually, "No problem, we'll take it! The transaction cost is 80!"

"What?" Zhou Haoran was amused and annoyed. "It was only two days, and you spent 80? I bet you're issuing fake invoices and lining your own pockets."

Dongfang Lang said irritably, "What are you thinking? The transaction cost is 80, not my money."

"Then who pays?"

"I love you!"

"Do you want to give me more money?"

Zhou Haoran was once again amazed by this kid.

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "That's right, $10. If you want to display your trademark on the trademark website and get UN certification, you have to spend some money, right? This $10 isn't a one-time fee; it's an annual membership fee. If you don't renew it for a certain year, the UN certification will be automatically canceled."

Originally, they took the initiative to visit Aido VCD and try to secure a collaboration between Aido VCD and the "Princess Pearl" DVD.

After a series of actions...

Aido VCD became the passive party, having to actively seek cooperation with Dongfang Lang and pay $10 annually.

Zhou Haoran was very satisfied. "Alright, you've done well, kid. You've graduated!"

"The second half of the year is the peak season for VCD sales. Aido estimates that they can sell about 300 to 350 million VCD players in the second half of this year. They said that each VCD player will come with a set of 'Princess Pearl', and they asked us to start production and supply as soon as possible. Aido VCDs have a large sales volume, so we must not cut off the supply."

Dongfang Lang can be said to have completed the mission perfectly.

Zhou Haoran said, "Okay, you've worked hard. I'll celebrate with you when we get back."

“However, I have a suggestion.” Dongfang Lang wanted to provide better service to his clients. “I saw in the reports that ‘Princess Pearl 2’ has started filming at the Grand View Garden Film and Television Base in the capital. You should go there, gather all the main actors, and shoot a promotional video and photos for ‘Princess Pearl’ DVDs. Then you can hang them in the VCD player showrooms to generate buzz and attract customers.”

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's already being arranged."

His arrangements were not as hasty as Dongfang Lang had described.

Tangren Media has acquired the mainland China rights to "My Fair Princess".

The buyout means that the editing rights to the film are also in the hands of Tangren Media.

Zhou Haoran told Tang Shiyi that he would go to the capital to find the crew of "Princess Pearl 2" and have the main actors shoot some promotional videos for DVDs... When "Princess Pearl" is rebroadcast on major TV stations across the country, during the end credits song, the screen will not be showing scenes from the drama, but will be re-edited to include about 30 seconds of promotional footage.

This kind of overwhelming publicity channels.

It can be encountered by chance but not sought after!
