Chapter 22 Nazar's Gift

Naza sensed Jiang Yifeng's fighting spirit and couldn't help but recall the previous scene. Her face turned red, and even her eyes became moist.

Her shy demeanor only made her more alluring, almost causing some of her colleagues to have inappropriate thoughts.

Back at her workstation, Naza continued to plan what she would buy after receiving her bonus.

Jiang Yifeng followed Sun Lin to the chairman's office on the top floor.

Zhang Chaoyang got straight to the point: "You promised before that you would restore the glory of the Godfather."

As a result, we opened accounts together. Your web series became a hit, but not many people listened to my physics class.

Isn’t this bad?”

Zhang Chaoyang initially wanted to give lectures simply because he found it interesting.

But as he continued lecturing, he found a sense of peace in the process, his anxiety lessened, and he even felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Zhang Chaoyang wants his physics classes to be heard by more people.

But his physics lectures are so advanced and complex that most people really can't understand them.

His speaking skills are really not good, his lectures are not funny, and his videos are boring.

When Zhang Chaoyang uploaded the first episode of his physics class, quite a few people clicked to watch it due to Sohu's promotion and Zhang Chaoyang's own fame.

But after watching for a short while, most people clicked away.

Five episodes of the video have been uploaded, but the number of views is decreasing with each episode. Zhang Chaoyang is getting anxious, so he comes to Jiang Yifeng to discuss the matter.

Jiang Yifeng thought for a moment and then asked in return, "Do you prefer being the center of attention, or do you prefer teaching physics?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhang Chaoyang fell into deep thought.

Jiang Yifeng continued, "You are a very famous boss, so it's easy for you to gain popularity."

The audience is very interested in your extravagant lifestyle, Sohu's entrepreneurial journey, your study abroad experience in the United States, and your entrepreneur friends.

If you film these kinds of things, each episode will definitely get a high number of views.

But that would change the flavor.

Physics is a highly specialized course, and only a few people can understand it.

It is your private space for communicating with the world.

Why bother chasing trends and polluting your last sanctuary?

Zhang Chaoyang is a very contradictory person.

On the one hand, he enjoys being in the spotlight and acts in a high-profile manner; on the other hand, he cannot completely abandon the self-reflection of an elite person and become a celebrity who chases popularity, often feeling anxious and empty.

Jiang Yifeng's words completely awakened Zhang Chaoyang.

What he should enjoy is the process of lecturing, not the final result.

“You’re right,” Zhang Chaoyang said. “You understand me best. My other colleagues at the company are all trying to drive traffic to my courses.”

Jiang Yifeng leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "That's because they respect you more. Only I am carefree and good at giving psychological counseling."

Zhang Chaoyang: "..."

Jiang Yifeng asked again, "We agreed to go hiking, but it's been more than half a month, and we haven't heard anything about it yet."

Zhang Chaoyang explained, "Gao Yuanyuan's movie 'Nanjing Nanjing' is about to be released, and she has been busy promoting it these days and has no time to go hiking."

If I really want to ask her out, the earliest I can do so is after May.

What, you're that interested in her?

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and explained, "I wrote a script for a short film and want to invite her to play the female lead."

Zhang Chaoyang smiled and asked, "Gao Yuanyuan's fee isn't low, can you afford to hire her?"

"That's why we're organizing the mountain climb. My short film is expected to be completed in about ten days, and the female lead will only have three or four days of screen time. I'd like to ask Gao Yuanyuan for a favor; she can just make a cameo appearance."

Art is refined; talking about money is vulgar.

Hearing this, Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "I was originally thinking of helping you make a connection, but you want to take advantage of Gao Yuanyuan for free. I can't afford to lose face like that."

"How about I approve a larger budget for you, and you can give her a reasonable salary?"

"I'll give it a try first, just in case it works."

For Jiang Yifeng, balancing the film's production costs is also crucial. Judging from the system's rating of "The Great Hero Jiang Xiaoyu," the revenue metric considers not only the absolute value of net profit but also the rate of return.

In this situation, low cost also has its advantages.

“Then I’ll give you Gao Yuanyuan’s phone number, you can contact her first. But I don’t think it will work out. Gao Yuanyuan also needs to eat and earn money, how could she possibly give you a cameo role in this short film?” Zhang Chaoyang said, “Actually, there’s no need to invite Gao Yuanyuan to play the female lead. Your girlfriend, Naza, is just as good-looking as Gao Yuanyuan, and she’s also younger, much better than Gao Yuanyuan.”

"I choose actors based on the roles in the script. Boss, please give me a call first."

Naza's acting is really bad. She has no concept of acting and her acting is completely disfiguring.

Jiang Yifeng's decision not to let her play the female lead is truly for her own good.

Gao Yuanyuan's image and temperament make her the perfect candidate for the role of a school beauty.

Moreover, her fame can increase the attention given to Old Boys.

After getting Gao Yuanyuan's phone number from Zhang Chaoyang, Jiang Yifeng left.

Back at my workstation, I saw Naza staring intently at the computer, his brows slightly furrowed, completely focused, not even noticing someone approaching him.

Jiang Yifeng glanced at her screen; it was a Baidu page.

"I want to buy my boyfriend a watch, with a budget of around 2 yuan. Which model is the most suitable?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng was truly moved.

This naive young girl, before even receiving the 1.9 yuan prize money, already wanted to spend 2 yuan to buy Jiang Yifeng a watch.

I even have to put my own money into it.

"With around 2 yuan, you can buy a Longines or Omega watch, that should be enough."

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Nazha was startled.

"Uncle! Why are you back so soon? I wanted to give you a surprise!"

"I'm already very surprised. I'll like anything you give me."

Baidu is full of ads; if you want to buy a watch, just go to a specialty store in a shopping mall.

Jiang Yifeng would not refuse if Nazar wanted to give him a gift.

On one hand, this is Naza's heartfelt wish, and refusing her might make her unhappy.

On the other hand, men should also learn to let women make more contributions.

In a romantic relationship, the more one invests, the higher their sunk costs become, and the more loyal they are to their partner.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Nazha smiled happily.

But then Jiang Yifeng said, "I want another gift."

"what gift?"

Jiang Yifeng leaned close to Nazha's ear and whispered, "It seems your ethnic costume has arrived."

Naza blushed immediately.

She whispered, "Uncle, you're so naughty~"

Although Naza's dancing isn't particularly good, she's still a professional at least.

Her physical attributes are so good; when she wears traditional ethnic clothing and dances a folk dance, she is absolutely stunning.

Jiang Yifeng also wanted to experience what it felt like after his ancestors conquered the Western Regions.

He was already excited because he received a reward today, and with the added boost from Naza's outfit and dance, he became even more unstoppable.

They fought even harder at night.

In the end, Naza had no choice but to admit defeat, and even felt guilty, feeling that he hadn't satisfied the uncle's expectations.

Jiang Yifeng achieved a partial victory and roughly figured out the extent to which the physique enhancement drug could improve his body.

His previous physical condition was that of an average person who occasionally exercised.

That's roughly the level of an average athlete now.

The overall improvement is quite significant.
