86: Chapter 86 Kiss Me! Kiss me, and I'll be happy!

He clicked into the creator's homepage and discovered that he was a monthly uploader.

He had only updated ten videos in total, yet he already had fifty thousand followers.

Su Yang casually used Business Deduction, and was then surprised to discover that as long as this creator was signed into Spark Media, his follower count could exceed one million.

Su Yang thought about it for a moment and decided to send a private message to this creator.

If he continued with monthly updates, wanting to reach one million followers was probably just a dream.

"Hello, I am the person in charge at Spark Media. I feel your videos are well-made; are you interested in signing with us? We can provide you with..."

'Earl of the Clouds' happened to be online, perhaps checking video view data, and he directly refused:

Earl of the Clouds: "Sorry, I don't want to sign with an MCN Company!"

Su Yang: "How about a base salary of ten thousand?"

Earl of the Clouds: "Are you sure you aren't joking?"

Seeing this reply, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, money was still very effective!

Bilibili's commercial monetization ability was quite weak, and recently it seemed they had cut the incentives for creators again.

Since Earl of the Clouds made videos so seriously, he most likely enjoyed making videos.

Su Yang: "Of course not, I am the boss!"

Earl of the Clouds: "You aren't trying to trick me into going over there just to harvest my kidneys, are you?"

Su Yang: "I have no need to deceive you; we are a legitimate MCN Company!"

Earl of the Clouds: "I still find it hard to believe!"

Su Yang: "Sign with our company, and I will send people to help you with editing, help you with music, and do promotions for you. Once your follower count grows, we can also help you land advertisements!"

Earl of the Clouds: "I'll think about it some more!"

Su Yang: "Let's add each other on wechat. I'll send you our company address. You can come over to take a look, and we'll reimburse your travel expenses!"

Earl of the Clouds: "Okay!"

After adding Earl of the Clouds on wechat, Su Yang casually sent him three red envelopes of two hundred each.

He originally wanted to send more, but it just felt inconvenient.

Earl of the Clouds: "This is..."

Su Yang: "Travel expenses!"

Earl of the Clouds: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and not go?"

Su Yang: "Then it'll just count as me tipping you. The videos are well-made; I really like them!"

Earl of the Clouds: "Send me the address; I'll go take a look this weekend!"

Su Yang: "Alright!"

After settling things with Earl of the Clouds, Su Yang happily started scrolling through videos again.

However, his luck wasn't very good this time.

He didn't come across many talented ones!

He went back to watch Earl of the Clouds' other videos, and very quickly scrolled back to February.

He had already watched the earlier videos and had even cast coins.

Wait a bit longer, then!

Su Yang couldn't help but think: Once I sign Earl of the Clouds, I'll lock him in a small dark room every day and make him make videos properly!

The next day, when Su Yang arrived at Spark Media, he told Yu Siying about his plan to sign 'Earl of the Clouds'.

Yu Siying didn't dampen Su Yang's enthusiasm; after simply watching Earl of the Clouds' videos, she agreed.

She didn't like watching war and history videos, but based on the view counts, coin counts, as well as the follower count and number of videos, she could roughly estimate that Earl of the Clouds still had decent ability!

It was just that a base salary of ten thousand was slightly too high for a newcomer.

But this was, after all, the boss's decision.

In the following time, Su Yang spent most of his time at Spark Media, familiarizing himself with the various operations of Spark Media.

Over at Jiuxiang Catering, his fourth hotpot restaurant, which was the four-hundred-square-meter shop, also officially opened.

Before the opening, Su Yang had encouraged all the new employees as usual, set requirements for them, and promised them the remuneration and benefits.

At the very least, their morale was very high.

Su Yang had an excellent reputation within the Jiuxiang Catering company!

Everyone believed in the boss's promises!

Four hotpot restaurants had already opened, and three shops were currently under renovation.

The development of Jiuxiang Catering was flourishing!

Su Yang calculated his remaining funds; there was only over six hundred thousand left in his bank card, which should be enough to last until the seventh of next month.

The main thing was that establishing Spark Media was quite expensive.

Xinghuo's renovation and equipment procurement were all costing money!

The renovation requirements there were relatively high, and some areas required soundproofing materials.

The equipment requirements there were also much higher than at Jiuxiang Catering.

They not only needed to film but also edit and produce videos.

The equipment used was all relatively professional.

Su Yang was even less likely to shortchange his employees on equipment.

Shortchanging employees on equipment wasn't that just shortchanging himself?

There was also the contract termination fees for the six internet celebrity streamers including Dai Jiaying, which were also paid by Spark Media.

It was treated as a signing bonus and compensated to them.

Since he poached them, he still had to help pay the termination fees.

Calculating it, he didn't have too many things on his hands.

Once he was idle, Su Yang thought for a moment and decided to deal with Tao Xue first.

As for how to deal with it, it depended specifically on her attitude!

Therefore, he made an appointment with Tao Xue to meet at Green Forest Park in the afternoon.

He had checked the schedule, and Tao Xue happened to be off duty.

Su Yang sat leisurely on a park bench, watching the children and couples passing by, and his mood gradually relaxed.

Before the appointed time arrived, he saw Tao Xue not far opposite, happily waving at him.

For this outing, Tao Xue had clearly dressed up carefully.

She was wearing a white dress with a short skirt, revealing two straight and well-proportioned legs.

Stepping in a pair of white and blue canvas shoes, carrying a pink bag, she looked pure and beautiful.

Many men passing through the park couldn't help but take a few extra glances at her!

She trotted over to Su Yang and called out with a smile: "Boss!"

"Sit!"

Su Yang pointed to the spot beside him.

Tao Xue sat down directly against Su Yang.

She thought that Su Yang was finally willing to respond to her and was willing to go on a date with her!

She called out softly: "Boss!"

"Hmm?"

Tao Xue said with a bit of showing off: "I'll most likely be able to get the title of the most popular trainer in the gym this month!"

"Really?"

Su Yang was somewhat incredulous; after all, Tao Xue was just a rookie trainer!

Tao Xue spread her five fingers somewhat embarrassedly: "Fifth place! Ranked fifth!"

"Alright then!"

That was more like it!

Her appearance easily made some male students lose their heads.

Xu Zhiping had also mentioned that she had been very active at work recently.

However, seeing Tao Xue looking so happy, Su Yang's mood was also quite relaxed.

But things that needed to be dealt with still had to be dealt with; it was better to cut the Gordian knot!

"Tao Xue, do you still want to work here with me?"

The smile on Tao Xue's face froze; she said with some disbelief: "Are you going to fire me?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said: "I can also transfer you to another gym; it depends on your own choice!"

"Because of Sister Sisi?"

"There are her reasons, and there are my reasons!"

"If I go to another gym, can I be your girlfriend?"

Su Yang laughed: "Then I guess you'll have to resign!"

Tao Xue gritted her teeth and said: "Then I'll resign!"

"Tao Xue, I'm very unfaithful. I know what you're thinking; you need to consider it clearly." Su Yang rubbed Tao Xue's hair and said in a low voice, "If you are truly willing to follow me, I can compensate you more in other aspects!"

Su Yang believed that Tao Xue could understand his meaning.

He didn't believe there would be long-lasting love; he believed more in the binding of interests.

He also didn't want to live too restrictedly; he didn't even want to get married.

If Tao Xue was willing to accept his flaws, he would also treat her well.

Tao Xue hesitated for a moment, then stared into Su Yang's eyes and asked: "Then do you like me?"

"I like you a little, I suppose!"

Su Yang was telling the truth.

Although Tao Xue was a bit manipulative, she was actually quite likable.

She only made a mistake regarding Yuan Sisi.

But as long as she could change and not cause trouble in the future, Su Yang wouldn't be too petty.

Anyone could make mistakes; he was willing to give a chance to change.

Tao Xue leaned tightly into Su Yang's arms and said: "Boss, as long as you like me, then I will follow you; I will become your most special one!"

"Alright!"

With things said to this point, Su Yang's remaining conscience was also appeased.

Tao Xue choked out in a low voice: "But I still feel a little sad in my heart!"

"Then what should we do?"

Tao Xue got up from Su Yang's arms, pointed to her mouth, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Kiss me, kiss me, and I'll be happy!"

This chapter was written yesterday, but it got me stuck for a long time. I revised it repeatedly. I'll try to make it more straightforward later on.
