Q: How to develop a sweet relationship with a female gentleman

In the conference room, Rachel had a video call with the author.

Rachel smiled politely, "What's your name, please?"

A voice came from the bug on the other side: "Just call me Hobuqi."

In the picture, Hobuqi did not show his face, but the camera turned to his upper body.

When Rachel contacted Hobchi, he explicitly said he didn't want to show his face during the video call. Rachel could understand that; after all, people in this industry are very protective of their identities and don't like to show their faces.

But now, hearing the other person's clear and gentle voice, he actually felt a little curious.

But the worst thing to do in business is to be tactless, and Rachel didn't want to offend her future partner just because of her curiosity.

So, during the video call, Rachel told Huo Buqi the purpose of this trip. And throughout the whole process, Pei Zhiyu was watching from the side, observing Rachel's ability to handle it and Huo Buqi's reaction.

Pei Zhiyu's idea was very simple, which was to recruit Huo Buqi to join their novel website [Kanba].

They did not intend to make money from the novel website, but just wanted to see how Xiong Bao would react to this Zerg romance novel that was different from the usual ones, and to reserve "talent" for text development in the future.

On the other side of the video, Hobuchi folded his hands, supporting his chin, as if thinking about something: "You know, the website I'm on now also values the traffic I can bring."

The implication is that if you want to poach him, you must pay enough money.

Pei Zhiyu smiled faintly. As long as it was profitable, it was good. Profitability meant there was still a chance.

Rachel looked at Pei Zhiyu and asked him what he thought. Pei Zhiyu said slowly, "The profit share of your current website is 46%, and we can give you 37. In addition, our website will provide you with the best resources, promotion and marketing. You will always be in the front row."

"Also," Pei Zhiyu paused, "as long as you come to our website now and sign the contract, we can give you 5 million as a signing bonus."

Huo Buqi laughed nonchalantly, "So generous? Aren't you afraid that what I write will become outdated?"

Novels are the most realistic. Just because one novel is a hit doesn't mean the next will be as popular. It all comes down to traffic. There are many authors who have a brief moment of success but then fade away.

If readers don't buy into the novel, then all the resources invested are wasted. In other words, no website would devote resources to a novel that fails to capture the hearts of readers.

Pei Zhiyu gently turned the pen in his hand, seeming to enjoy playing with it: "No, I believe you."

Pei Zhiyu's judgment of people isn't always accurate, but it's definitely not bad. If an author who becomes famous quickly fails, where can they go?

Besides, investing is risky, and it’s better not to do it if you are tied up in it.

Huo Buqi found it interesting and accepted Pei Zhiyu's "invitation".

The owner of a certain novel website was still worried about the fact that his recently popular author had offended some male insects, but he didn't realize that his cash cow had been dug up like this.

With the joining of Hobuchi, the traffic of [Kanba] has increased a lot, and many small authors have also joined this website because of him.

There was no movement from the Xiongbao Association, so Pei Zhiyu thought the game issue could be put on the agenda.

Rachel stood beside Pei Zhiyu, and felt more and more that her boss was like an eagle that had escaped from its shackles after leaving the Balik family. He was as tall as the world.

The Balik family has not been doing well recently. The mine that Marquis Marcus promised them is completely gone, and because they offended Jiang Xun, many processes in the family business have been stuck.

The important thing is that they have no way to seek justice for these things. After all, one is private property and he can give it to them or not. The other is doing things according to the rules and regulations under the orders from above. It is a bit strict, but not illegal.

They had no way to express their suffering, and the situation of their already declining family became even worse.

Meanwhile, Pei Zhiyu was beginning to show his talent and was soon noticed by the Balik family. Although they were still afraid of Jiang Xun, the wealth behind Pei Zhiyu was too tempting, so after much hesitation, they decided to go to his house and ask him to return the money.

Pei Zhiyu is originally a member of the Balik family, so he should make contributions to the Balik family, right?

Besides, it was all thanks to them that he was able to hook up with the Seventh Prince. Not only was he ungrateful, he also instigated the Seventh Prince to target them. How despicable!

Thinking of this, Ricky and Balik came to the door.

Pei Zhiyu and Jiang Xun lived together, so they didn't dare to visit easily, so they thought they were very smart and came to the company to block Pei Zhiyu.

When the front desk clerk saw Balik and Ricky, he first politely asked them if they had a reservation. They probably looked very arrogant because they were Pei Zhiyu's father and mother.

Ricky: “No.”

The receptionist smiled politely and said, "You can't go in without an appointment."

Ricky's face darkened. "We are your boss's male and female fathers. Do we still need to make an appointment?"

When the receptionist heard this, although she was unsure about what Ricky meant, she didn't dare to offend him easily, so she said politely, "Please wait a moment. I'll talk to the boss."

Ricky was very dissatisfied with the front desk's reaction. He was Pei Zhiyu's father, and how dare they neglect him like that! However, there were many insects coming and going in the hall, and he was a face-saver, so he held back his temper.

Richie thought to himself that he must let Pei Zhiyu open this reception desk later.

Pei Zhiyu was still in a meeting when his assistant suddenly came in through the front door and said that his house bug had arrived. He was stunned and for a moment he didn't know who the other person was talking about.

Houseworm? He had told the front desk that if Jiang Xun came, he should just go to the lounge and wait. Besides, given Jiang Xun's personality, if he was really stopped, he would seize the opportunity to call him and "complain" instead of just asking questions.

Just as I was thinking about it, the assistant's voice came again: "The other party said it was your male father and female father."

Pei Zhiyu frowned slightly.

they?

Many of the bugs in the meeting had been following Pei Zhiyu for a long time and knew something about Pei Zhiyu's affairs, and they all showed worried expressions.

Balik and Ricky's oppression and exploitation of Pei Zhiyu are shameless. Now that they have come to him, can anything good happen?

Pei Zhiyu restrained his expression and said, "I understand. Take them to the lounge. I'll be there after the meeting."

Balik and Richie thought that Pei Zhiyu would rush out to greet them when he heard they were coming, but they didn't expect the assistant to ask them to wait in the lounge.

Ricky's face turned red with anger, and Balik, who always pretended to be kind on the outside, also changed his expression.

Ricky gritted his teeth and said, "He's really busy."

The assistant was one of Pei Zhiyu's confidants, so he naturally stood on his side and politely replied, "Our boss is indeed very busy and doesn't have much time."

The implicit meaning of this was that the couple came uninvited and disturbed Pei Zhiyu.

Ricky's face darkened again, but this wasn't the Balik family; he couldn't act tyrannically. The assistant left immediately after speaking. There was a male insect inside, and if a conflict arose, he wouldn't necessarily come out on top.

After the assistant left, Ricky could no longer hide his anger: "Master Xiong, Luo Fei is so rude!"

Balik glared at Ricky and said, "Behave yourself! If you don't get the money from him this time, you'll be in big trouble!"
