Xu Youyou was a little angry.

But Xie Ran's next words extinguished her anger.

"Boss, do you still remember Liu Ye?" Xie Ran asked.

Of course Xu Youyou remembered this person. She was the heroine of the TV series that Song Zhibai filmed in Gansu Province, and she was originally going to be signed by her own company.

"She signed the contract half a month later and switched to another company and has terminated the contract," said Xie Ran.

Xu Youyou: ...

Xu Youyou suddenly understood why the system did not consider Liu Ye as a lucky finder. It turned out that he was a traitor.

"Did you pay compensation for the termination of the contract?" Xu Youyou asked.

"They haven't paid any compensation yet. Now the company is suing her new employer." Xie Ran said.

Xu Youyou immediately felt guilty. She might not get any compensation even if she terminated the contract, and she also had to lose a role as the female lead in a drama. This was really a loss of both the wife and the army.

Xie Ran was well aware of the saying "before you can praise someone, you must first criticize them." He continued, "Boss, I have some great news that I need to tell you."

"The first overseas payment has arrived."

Xu Youyou was stunned and confused: "What overseas money?"

"Boss, have you forgotten about exporting the short drama?" Xie Ran asked helplessly.

Xu Youyou didn't really care about the company's affairs. After straining to recall, she finally managed to dig out a few memories from the corners: "You can make money so soon? How much did you make?"

Xie Ran said: "The first payment was 20 million US dollars."

Twenty million US dollars! That's 140 million RMB! This is just the first installment! There's more to come!

How cheap is the cost of a short play? The highest is several million, and the cheapest ones can even cost only a few hundred thousand.

Although earning so much is still not as fast as Xu Youyou's money that he made by picking up a bargain, compared with other businesses, it can be said to be a very profitable business.

"How did you do it?" Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask.

Xie Ran said, "The overseas market is almost untapped, and foreigners are not particularly sensitive to prices. My prices are also relatively high. The most important thing is that your short play script is good."

Xu Youyou: "Does this have anything to do with me?"

"For the company's first work, Song Zhibai's short play, I passed the script to Su Wanyi. She understands scripts and speaks very good English. She adapted and translated the script into English and invited a bunch of foreigners to reshoot it. Sure enough, those foreigners were fascinated by it. Now the foreign lead actor has also become famous abroad and can even get scripts from Hollywood." Xie Ran explained.

Xu Youyou didn't know how to film a drama, but she knew how to coax the cash cow. She immediately turned into a group of praisers: "If it weren't for you and Su Wanyi's understanding of the market and your good localization work, it would be difficult to achieve such success. You are the company's great contributors."

Xie Ran used to be a member of the first generation of entrepreneurs, but now he has changed to a working class. When he met a team leader like Xu Youyou who praised the team, he suddenly felt that working was also quite interesting.

"The short drama has been a huge success overseas, and we can't treat the heroes unfairly. We will use 5% of the overseas net profits to reward the creative team. The reward for Su Wanyi will not count towards the creative team's quota, and we will give her 2% separately. In addition, since you are the decision maker, we will use another 5% as a reward." Xu Youyou said.

The cost of short dramas is low, so Xu Youyou took out 12% of it to give out rewards, which is almost two million US dollars, or million RMB. This is only the first payment. There will be payments from overseas every month, and more money can be obtained.

Logically speaking, the filming of the series has been completed and the creative team's wages have been paid long ago, so there is no need for additional rewards. However, Xu Youyou is not particularly short of money now, and feels that additional rewards can better motivate employees.

She had been a worker in her previous life, and knew the hardship of working like a beast of burden, so she was willing to hold an umbrella for others.

Xie Ran didn't expect Xu Youyou to be so generous. He originally wanted to mention this matter to Xu Youyou when he called, but his plan was to suggest that Xu Youyou take out hundreds of thousands of US dollars to reward the creative team.

"Boss, this is part of my job responsibilities. You don't have to reward me extra." Xie Ran was grateful for Xu Youyou's kindness and didn't want to accept the money.

Xu Youyou made the final decision: "It's settled. I'm the boss, you just listen to me."

After the call was hung up, Xie Ran smiled helplessly. He glanced at the thick stack of documents on the table. He had wanted to take a break, but now he picked up the documents and continued studying.

In the Gu family villa.

There has been low pressure for several days in a row.

The servants of the Gu family didn't dare to make too much noise while working.

Gu Jianming's car drove into the yard. He got out of the car with a dark face. After entering the door, he asked the servant and went straight to the glass greenhouse in the backyard.

Madam Gu was pruning flowers. After much difficulty, she finally managed to create a bouquet that she thought was beautiful. She immediately smiled and said to the servant beside her, "Send it to the ward and tell Fengchuan that I pruned it for him myself."

Just as the servant was about to leave with the vase, he saw Gu Jianming striding in.

The smile on Mrs. Gu's face immediately disappeared.

"Did you go find that little bitch today?" Gu Jianming asked coldly.

Mrs. Gu's heart trembled when she heard this. Previously, at the Lu family dinner, Gu Jianming had not gotten along well with Xu Youyou. She felt that her husband's tall image seemed to have been torn apart by Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou also mentioned the "honey trap". Mrs. Gu couldn't help but wonder if this little girl knew something, so she became even more afraid to look for Xu Youyou.

Gu Jianming frowned and couldn't help but accuse him, "You can't even do a small thing! What's the point of keeping you?"

Mrs. Gu lowered her head.

Gu Jianming was just about to reach out and hold his wife's shoulders, but suddenly he remembered the big loss he had suffered. Chen Senlin had teased him about this a lot in the past few days. He forced himself to restrain his body's inertia and retracted his hand.

"Or, forget it." Mrs. Gu said softly.

"Forget it?" Gu Jianming's anger rose. "Why should I let it go? I want this little bitch to kneel down and beg me crying!"

Madam Gu said helplessly, "She has Lu Jingyao's support, and for some reason she hates us so much. She might not be able to successfully match with Fengchuan. It's better to avoid trouble than to offend Lu Jingyao."

"Who is Lu Jingyao? Even if she is bewitched by her for a while, the Lu family will definitely not let her in. Then she will have plenty of time to beg us for help." Gu Jianming said viciously.

Mrs. Gu sighed and asked, "Fengchuan...is Fengchuan just going to wait like this? Yuji is in poor health, so it's not appropriate for him to do the matching. Jianming, why don't you give it a try? The doctor said that bone marrow donation is a peripheral blood sample, which doesn't have much impact on normal people. Maybe you can successfully match with Fengchuan."

Everyone else in the Gu family, including Mrs. Gu, has been matched with Gu Fengchuan, except for his biological father, Gu Jianming.

Gu Jianming also hesitated for his eldest son, but the result of his private investigation was that the impact of donating bone marrow varies from person to person. It is possible that there will be no sequelae, but it is also possible that the body will deteriorate and the kidneys may become weak and short of breath.

Gu Jianming's face darkened and he said, "If you can't convince Xu Youyou, then let Yu Ji donate."
