Chapter 996: Party Transition
Less than three days after school started, Han Xuan has visited the cinema on Comic Island twice to watch "[New Chapter] The Story of Rebellion".
The first time was when I just came back, my classmates and friends from the club pulled her over to see her. The second time was today. Liu Yun and Liu Yi, who were starting school late, pulled her and Li Yu to the theater.
But in fact, Han Xuan also watched "The Story of Rebellion" three times in less than a month, which was more than "Five Centimeters in Seconds" in the past - Fortunately, "The Story of Rebellion" is fresh every time she watches "The Story of Rebellion" and she doesn't hate it either.
After the four of them came out of the theater, Liu Yun shouted with pleasure: "It turns out that I still enjoy watching it here. The theater facilities in Qingcheng are so weak!"
Liu Yi nodded repeatedly, and the two of them naturally watched this movie in Qingcheng. However, the best theater in Qingcheng County is just four-star, and the facilities may not be as good as the four-star theater in big cities. The theater environment of Manga Island is also top-notch in China - students in university towns like to run here on weekdays.
"Did you all see it in advance?" Han Xuan asked curiously.
"Of course, this movie is so popular after it was released, who didn't watch it!" Liu Yun nodded and then looked at Li Yu: "Li Yu should have watched it too, right?"
Li Yu nodded: "This is my fourth time watching it."
Han Xuan was secretly shocked. It turned out that she was not the one who saw the most times among the four!
"Will there be any activities later? Let's go to the amusement park together!" Liu Yun said excitedly: "I heard that there are a few more fun projects in the amusement park. I just got the New Year's money, so don't be stingy!"
Every time school starts, Liu Yun is always the one who is most excited. She likes to pull other people around to play. As long as she is with her side, even Li Yu, who is the most in love with her, her family will disappear immediately.
However, this time Li Yu unexpectedly refused: "I won't go, my senior sister invites me to join the friendship."
"Friendship!?" The three people around him exclaimed at the same time, and Liu Yun's eyes lit up: "You want to find a boyfriend too? I'll tell you earlier, I can introduce you to you!"
Li Yu's face turned red and he waved his hand quickly: "No, it's not this friendship, you misunderstood... Actually, this is..."
She explained to the three that this was a party held by the seniors of Phoenix Company. A senior who had graduated and worked in Phoenix Company heard that she had received an appointment from the editorial department, so she was invited to attend. In addition to her, there were many seniors who passed the primary election and may join Phoenix Company after graduation.
"Actually it's just an exchange meeting." Li Yu said: "I want to get to know you with my seniors. It will be much more convenient when you work in the future... Ah, by the way!" She suddenly clapped her hands and looked at Han Xuan: "Han Xuan, come too. Didn't Shen Jie ask you to go to the office to help after graduation?"
Han Xuan frowned slightly: "This...this is not very convenient...I am a little different from you."
Although she received Shen Jie's permission, she still didn't know the opinions of other people in the firm, and Li Yu was selected openly. Han Xuan thought she should not attend such an occasion.
"What's the matter? Haven't you been making up for the information of the firm during the winter vacation? I think you can definitely go in even without Shen Jie." Li Yu persuaded: "This time I will accompany me as my friend. Maybe you can meet the seniors of the firm and get more useful information!"
Han Xuan was immediately moved. Since Chen Jie started talking, she has been working hard to get into the office and making up for various information. Now she has the opportunity to meet new people, and she should not miss it.
"Okay, as your friend..." Han Xuan nodded. Liu Yi looked at the two of them enviously. Liu Yun pinched his hand and said with a smile: "Li Yu, how about we go there as your friend?"
Li Yu was a little embarrassed: "I'll call my senior sister to ask."
She then took out her cell phone and called, and soon received a response from the other party.
"No problem, let's go together!" Li Yu smiled and said, "Senior sister said the requirements are not that strict. Anyone who is willing to join Phoenix Company can go there, but I can do it for free, but each of you must prepare a hundred shares."
"One hundred!" Liu Yi was shocked: "What are you eating at this party? It's so expensive!"
"Idiot, this is a test of us!" Liu Yun patted his head and said angrily: "If you can't even give up a hundred, how do they know if we really want to join Phoenix Company?"
However, Liu Yun felt a little regretful. If she had known she would have encouraged Liu Yi to catch up with Li Yu as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, if she could get an offer in advance, such gatherings should be inevitable, and her connections would be relatively smooth when she works in the future.
Speaking of the importance of connections, Liu Yun may be the most sober among the four. She is naturally suitable for socializing. When she sees Li Yu's situation, she immediately understands that she cannot continue to fall behind.
The party was held in a barbecue restaurant, and the entire barbecue restaurant was booked, with more than one hundred people participating.
In addition to the senior sister who Li Yu is familiar with working in the editorial department, there were seniors from other departments of Phoenix Company at the party, and there were more than one school in the school - Han Xuan and Liu Yi both found their known seniors.
Not to mention Liu Yun, he integrated into it as soon as he entered. In fact, the four of them are all famous figures in the comic clubs in the university town, and their popularity is not low among these graduates, and everyone is optimistic about them.
"Liu Yi, I want to invite you next year, but I didn't expect you to be here in your junior year." A fat man pulled Liu Yi to his side, poured him wine, and said, "And he also brought a girlfriend. Damn, I don't have a girlfriend yet! Come on, this glass of wine should be punished!"
"Yes, I should be punished, I'll come too!"
"If you don't get him drunk today, you can't let him go!"
Some boys gathered around Liu Yi and other newcomers to drink wine, while relatively speaking, the girls who were preparing to join the company were treated much better, no one forced them to drink, and many male seniors rushed to help with barbecue and hand over juice.
"Be careful about these boys. They really regard this kind of party as a friendship." The familiar senior sister said in Han Xuan's ear: "Don't take a drink, don't be deceived - you think they are very good now, but you regret it if you choose. Once you enter Phoenix Company, you will find more good boys."
Han Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Senior sister, have you been fooled?"
"Tsk..." The senior sister ate a piece of barbecue hatefully and said, "It's hard to describe it. I heard that you want to go to the office. It's very good, with a high salary, and it's a place for handsome men and beautiful women. If I'm asked to choose again, I want to go there too."
The firm is indeed a place where handsome men and beautiful women gather. In addition to voice actors, other employees have relatively high looks - Han Xuan knew about this during her previous internship, but she was not interested in it.
"I hope to know more than boys how to pass the review of the firm..." Han Xuan sighed.
"Audit?" the senior sister smiled and said, "Don't worry, you must enter 100% if you say it."
Han Xuan was surprised: "Why?"
"Why? Your grades are not bad, you get scholarships every year, your comic club is well done, and you will also work part-time at the Carnival." The senior sister smiled and said, "Using your conditions, you can go to any department you want."
"No way..." Han Xuan opened her eyes wide: "But I heard that the competition is super fierce."
"It's of course very exciting for ordinary people. More than half of the graduates in the university town will submit resumes to Phoenix Company every year to try their luck." said the senior sister: "But there are not many people with conditions like you, so it's strange that they can't get in."
Han Xuan is a fan of the authorities. During the interview on Comic Island, she can have rich practical experience in comic activities. At the same time, there are not many students who know very well about Phoenix Company. Most people's practice is just a soy sauce. Han Xuan is not only the leader of the comic club, but also worked in several departments of Phoenix Company, and her advantages are too great.
Students with ordinary grades can enter the final assessment if they have these experiences, not to mention that Han Xuan is still a super high-level student, so she will never lose the election.
"I didn't have as good conditions as you back then." The senior sister looked at Han Xuan with a smile, then mocked her head and said, "You must have developed more than me in Phoenix Company. I will have to rely on your care in the future!"
"Ah, by the way..." The senior sister suddenly had her eyes lit up and she asked, "Han Xuan, do you have money? I want to help you do business!"
Han Xuan was stunned and shook her head: "How can I have money?"
"I can't tell your family, let's lend it out!" said the senior sister excitedly: "If you were not my junior sister, I wouldn't invite you. There are many people who want to work with us!"
"you?"
"Yes, it's just a few senior sisters who have graduated in our school. Senior Sister Rong is here too. She works overtime today, and I can call her to come together tomorrow!" Senior Sister Rong she mentioned was the student president of that year, and Han Xuan had been taken care of by her.
Han Xuan felt that this was not a lie, but she was still curious: "What business?"
"Hehe, don't you think... the comic island has become much lively recently?" said the senior sister mysteriously.
Han Xuan nodded: "Isn't the school season very normal?"
"I'm not talking about students, I mean the businesses and advertisements on the street." The senior sister shook her head and then whispered: "Didn't you notice that there are too many people sending flyers on the street? Let me tell you that Manga Island will soon open a new commercial street. Now it has rented shops to the public. Many well-known chain companies have already grabbed the territory and are preparing for large-scale publicity!"
"Is it..." Han Xuan took out a flyer from her bag. This was something that someone else stuffed to her on the road today, and she hadn't looked at it carefully yet.
I took out the flyer and saw that this was a well-known ice cream shop in China, which said it was officially opened next month. What Han Xuan didn't notice before was that the address of the ice cream shop reads "No. 2 West Avenue in Manga Island." - The only one who originally named this name was "No. 1 West Avenue in Manga Island."
"It's really..." Han Xuan said in surprise.
"Right, this is a newly opened commercial street. The shop has only been rented out for four days and has been snatched away." said the senior sister: "Senior Rong and I have booked a shop to build a bakery, but we have to pay three years of ancestral gold at a time, and we are still raising it."
Han Xuan remembered that Senior Sister Rong ran a bakery at home, and she must be technically sure, so she couldn't help but feel a little moved: "How much is it missing?"
"Twenty thousand per share." said the senior sister: "I saved 30,000 yuan a year of work, got 10,000 yuan from my family and invested two shares, but you can only invest two shares at most. How about it? Let's do it together, you will definitely make a profit!"
Han Xuan did not doubt this. She witnessed the leap and development of Manga Island in recent years. The merchants who came here in the past have basically made a fortune.
"Actually, I have an insider news." Seeing that Han Xuan was still hesitating, the senior sister said again: "Teacher He Xi's next animation will use the comic island as the stage. The protagonist lives here. This is a huge marketing advertisement!"
In fact, the new commercial street is open and there are many people rushing for rent. Many employees within Phoenix Company are doing the same thing. However, because the competition is too fierce, there are few people who can get shops, and their bakery does not have any investors.
This senior sister happened to know a secret. She knew that Han Xuan and Shen Jie were classmates and would definitely be higher than her in Phoenix Company in the future. Therefore, she was not here to persuade Han Xuan to make money, but wanted to strengthen her contact with Han Xuan in this way and benefit more in the future.
Of course Han Xuan didn't know it-she thought about it carefully, but nodded: "Okay, I'll borrow it from my house."
She didn't know if she could borrow 40,000, but 20,000 should be fine. In the eyes of her parents, Han Xuan has always been a proud daughter. She doesn't have to worry about her studies, and her living expenses can be handled by herself through working and scholarships.
Because of this, if Han Xuan spoke out to borrow money, her parents would believe her judgment.
"Then I'll talk to Senior Sister Rong tonight." Senior Sister laughed: "She will definitely welcome you."
Han Xuan nodded and asked again, "Are the animation you mentioned produced by Island Studio?"
"Of course, studio artists often appear on the streets in recent days." said the senior sister: "There are no other studios who know Manga Island, but Suhua City. The background of that animation is Manga Island and Suhua City."
"What's the name?"
"Name?" The senior sister was stunned and wondered if she could say it. However, the animation will be announced soon in the past two days. The company's employees have basically known that it is not a secret among a small number of fans, and there is no need to continue to hide it.
"The Gate of Destiny." She replied. Han Xuan was as surprised as Ye Feimeng when she heard this name. The name "The Gate of Destiny" completely made people wonder what kind of animation it was, but...
“The animation quality of Island Studio should be the highest in the country.”
