Chapter 198 The Dangers of Outsourcing

After attending the graduation ceremony, taking graduation photos, and having the farewell dinner, Chu Ze completed the entire graduation process. The moment he actually walked out of the gate of Jiangcheng University, he felt melancholy.

Graduated again!

I see graduates around me carrying their suitcases and bags and heading home one after another. The next step is to enter the society and officially bid farewell to their student days.

In my previous life, I was also alone and entered the society confusedly, and then felt the slap in the face of society.

The scenes of the previous life superimposed on the present made Chu Ze a little dazed for a moment. For the first time, he felt that his rebirth was so unreal. He was afraid that this was a dream. When he woke up, he was still the unsuccessful author lying in front of the computer desk typing.

All this is just a fantasy of a failed author before his death.

"Hey, how long are you going to stand there?"

A pleasant voice came from behind.

Not far away, Xia Anruo's beautiful figure leaned against the car and waved at him. Even though her face was covered, her beauty still looked unreal.

Chu Ze walked over and hugged her, picked her up by the waist, and spun her around in circles.

Xia Anruo was startled by his sudden action. She kicked her feet in the air and patted Chu Ze to let her down.

"What are you doing suddenly?" Xia Anruo asked angrily.

"It's nothing. I just feel now that this is all real." Chu Ze put Xia Anruo down and said with a bright smile.

"What's real or unreal about graduation?" Xia Anruo thought Chu Ze was crazy. He was so excited and happy about graduation. Shouldn't he be sad?

Chu Ze didn't explain, but just asked in confusion: "Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"How could I not come to greet you when you graduate, my little boyfriend~" Xia Anruo gently stretched out her jade hand and pinched Chu Ze's face, with a trailing tone in her words.

"It's just graduation. It's not the first time." Chu Ze shrugged.

"It's different this time. This graduation means you will no longer be a student." Xia Anruo shook her head.

It also means that Chu Ze can no longer use the moral blackmail technique of "I am a student, send me".

"Aren't I already a member of society?" Chu Ze smiled.

Which student is the part-time general manager?

"Okay, society! Society! Mr. Chu, please get in the car." Xia Anruo chuckled when he heard that, bowed to him, then opened the door and got in.

Since he didn't live in the dormitory, Chu Ze didn't need to carry luggage like the other graduates. He just easily got on the bus with a backpack on his back.

"So are we going to the restaurant next?" Chu Ze asked as he fastened his seat belt.

"Go home, my food is ready, I'll cook." Xia Anruo said.

Knowing that Chu Ze would graduate today, Xia Anruo had already prepared the ingredients for today's feast a few days in advance.

"Okay, I'll look forward to the cooking skills of my five-star chef." Chu Ze was also a little excited when he heard that.

"I'm looking forward to it too!" Chu Wanqing suddenly poked his head out from the back seat.

Chu Ze was startled: "Where did you come from?"

"Come and salute your graduation!" Chu Wanqing said with a smile.

"I think you are here to eat for free." Chu Ze said with a smile.

"No, you see, I have all the salutes ready." Chu Wanqing said as he took out a long and thick salute from underneath him.

If I really take it out, it's bigger than yours.

"Put it away quickly, and don't mess around with the car." Chu Ze looked at the gun hole she was aiming at himself and reminded her.

"I'm not stupid." Chu Wanqing snorted and took back the salute.

Chu Ze glanced at her and thought that this was hard to say.

When she returned to the apartment and just entered the door, Chu Wanqing took out her big gun again.

There was a snap.

Colorful ribbons are flying all over the sky.

"Happy graduation!" Chu Wanqing raised his hand and cheered in congratulations.

Xia Anruo also smiled and said, "Happy graduation."

Chu Ze was very moved and patted Chu Wanqing's head, and said, "Thank you, remember to clean up the ribbons on the ground yourself."

"..."

Chu Wanqing's laughter stopped abruptly, and she went to sweep the floor with a broom in a depressed look.

Xia Anruo went to the kitchen to cook, while Chu Ze sat alone on the sofa with his feet up, acting like a boss.

"Hey, Qingqing, how's your singing practice going?" Chu Ze asked, thinking of something.

"Sing? What singing?" Chu Wan was sweeping the floor. Hearing this, he looked up at Chu Ze.

"Haven't you been taking voice lessons?"

"I haven't been here for a long time." Chu Wanqing curled her lips and continued to sweep the floor with her head down.

"Why?" Chu Ze was stunned.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Chu Wanqing put down the broom in his hand.

"The truth." Chu Ze said.

"Because I love learning and cannot delay my studies."

"What about lies?"

"I admit that I have no talent for singing."

"..."

Chu Ze scratched his head: "Are you sure you didn't say it the other way around?"

"Anyway, I have made up my mind. I have a dream!" Martin Luther King, with his hands on his waist, muttered mysteriously.

"Do you have a dream again?" Old man Chu Ze looked at her intently.

"Yes! I will learn accounting well and help you and sister-in-law manage money in the future." Chu Wanqing nodded affirmatively.

Chu Ze had a blank expression on his face when he heard this: "I trained you with good intentions, why do you repay kindness with hatred?"

"?"

"Sister-in-law, look at him~" Chu Wanqing complained to Xia Anruo in the kitchen in a wronged manner.

Xia Anruo turned around while cutting vegetables and said with a smile: "Then Qingqing, you should study hard and try to pass the CPA exam, so that you can slap your brother in the face and let your brother give you the position of financial director."

"Come on, if she can pass the CPA exam, you can climb a tree too." Chu Ze snorted disdainfully.

Xia Anruo: “?”

Is it true?

Chu Ze was obviously drifting away.

He obviously did not consider the consequences of offending two version T0s at once, and the graduation buff could not cover him.

……

the next day.

"Boss Chu... uh..."

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing."

"The sun is quite strong today, so I'll wear sunglasses." Chu Ze sat on a chair with a serious face and sunglasses on.

"Oh, I see."

Ding Jie looked out the window at the cloudy weather without a trace of sunshine and didn't dare to speak.

Watching the secretary put down the documents and hurried away, Chu Ze took off his sunglasses, turned on the front camera, and looked at his panda eyes on the screen.

This is the graduation medal that the woman at home gave him, but it hurts a little.

Women are really vindictive creatures. I just said a few words to her, but she is really petty. Just as I was thinking about it, the ringtone of the WeChat video call suddenly rang.

When Chu Ze saw that it was Cao Dexing calling, he quickly put on his sunglasses and answered the phone.

"Mr. Chu, I have already selected these actors for you. Yuan Fei is good. I plan to let her play the role of Little Medical Fairy. What do you think?" Cao Dexing came up and said casually.

"Little Medical Fairy? Are you sure you can act out her transformation from a medical fairy to a poisonous woman?" Chu Ze said worriedly.

Although the plot of this drama has not yet reached the part about the poisonous woman, Chu Ze definitely has the idea of ​​a sequel, so when choosing actors, he also has to consider the subsequent plot. He can't just replace the actors when the performance fails.

"Don't worry, I've thought of this. I've auditioned for the role and it's fine. If you're not sure, you can check it yourself. He's an actor from your company anyway." Cao Dexing said, patting his chest.

"Have you almost chosen all the actors?"

"We've basically chosen it. Do you still want to come and take a look? If there's no problem, we can officially start filming."

"Then I'll come to see you in a couple of days to see if your choice is okay."

"it is good."

As for the TV series "Fights Break Sphere", Chu Ze can actually leave it to the supervision of people under the company and there is no need for him to do it himself.

After all, the company has invested in this drama, so the quality of the TV series is no longer just Chu Ze's own business, it is a public matter, and the marketing department below is responsible for supervising and managing the investment in the TV series.

However, Chu Ze said that he had read Doupo and was well aware of the dangers of outsourcing. If Emperor Hun Tian knew this, he would not have let Xiao Yan get the better of him.

If I let my subordinates do it, who knows what will happen if they slack off.

He was also a worker back then, isn't that clear?

So in order to prevent this IP from falling into his hands, Chu Ze decided to work harder. Anyway, he has graduated now and doesn't have to worry about the thesis anymore, so he can concentrate on his career.

……

evening.

After work, Chu Ze stayed alone in the empty study, typing diligently. Xia Anruo had just taken a car to the airport to go to Sichuan Province to shoot a commercial.

Since joining Xinruo, Xia Anruo has rarely run for publicity. Firstly, she doesn't need to rely on frequent appearances to increase her popularity like before, and secondly, she doesn't want to be as busy as before and have no time to spend with family and friends.

So during this period of time, Xia Anruo turned down many invitations to programs or commercial performances. This time, because she was invited to shoot a public service advertisement, Xia Anruo did not refuse.

Chu Ze naturally supported Xia Anruo in shooting this kind of advertisement.

This is a good thing to do to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Taking one photo can accumulate positive virtue, and taking two photos can accumulate even more positive... positive virtue.

Halfway through the coding, take a break.

Chu Ze picked up his phone and asked about Xia Anruo's status: "Have you arrived at the airport?"

"I just got off the bus and am now preparing to enter the terminal." Xia Anruo said.

"I feel so empty when you're not around."

"Don't you want to write? If you write a few thousand more words, you won't feel empty anymore."

"..."

Chu Ze was speechless: "How can you type such cold words with your 37-degree hands?"

"Because I have a cold body, my hands are cold too."

"Friction creates heat. When you come back and do some needlework, your hands will be warm."

"Get lost. I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to get my boarding pass."

After teasing his girlfriend, Chu Ze put down his phone and continued typing. It was past eleven o'clock before he finally finished writing the two chapters of today's update.

Fights Break Sphere is now nearing its end. It has been serialized for more than two years. Tudou took two years and three months to finish it. Chu Ze is worse than Tudou, but it should be coming to an end in a few months.

Chu Ze now doesn’t know whether he should continue writing books after Fights Break Sphere is finished. After all, he wrote Fights Break Sphere just to make a fortune and earn his first pot of gold. But now he is no longer short of money, and the need to write books is not so strong.

Moreover, he now has his own company and can make money by copying songs.

He originally wanted to give up, but now he is getting more and more tired. This does not go against the original intention of his rebirth.

After taking a comfortable bath, Chu Ze lay on the bed and checked his phone as usual before going to bed. As soon as he clicked on Weibo, the hot search was the news about the earthquake in Sichuan Province.

Sichuan Province?

Isn’t this where Xia Anruo wants to go?
Chu Ze hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Xia Anruo, but the call was not connected.

I called several times, but no one answered. I sent WeChat messages but no one responded.

According to the itinerary Xia Anruo told him before, he should have arrived in Sichuan Province by now, and should not still be on the plane unable to answer the phone.

Oh shit, could something have happened?

Chu Ze panicked for the first time.

He couldn't get through to Xia Anruo's phone, and suddenly remembered that he still had Liao Qing's phone number. He was about to call Liao Qing, but Xia Anruo called back.

"Why are you suddenly making so many calls? Is there something wrong?" Xia Anruo asked puzzledly.

Chu Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xia Anruo's familiar voice. For the first time, he sounded a little reproachful to Xia Anruo:
"I'm so scared. What's wrong with you? I called you so many times, why didn't you answer?"

"I accidentally muted my phone and just realized it. What happened?" Xia Anruo was a little puzzled when she heard the relieved tone in Chu Ze's voice.

"Have you been to Sichuan Province?"

"No, we're still at the airport. The plane was delayed due to the weather." Xia Anruo said.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"what happened?"

"There's an earthquake in Sichuan Province. Don't go there yet."

"earthquake?"

Xia Anruo was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why Chu Ze called her so anxiously just now.

She also opened Weibo and took a look, then burst out laughing.

"A 4.2 magnitude earthquake, do you really need to be so panicked?"

"Huh? 4.2?"

Chu Ze was stunned, and he also clicked on Weibo to take a look, scratching his head: "I was too anxious just now, I only saw the words "Sichuan Earthquake" and didn't click in to see what the magnitude was."

Hearing Chu Ze's words, Xia Anruo chuckled and her eyes softened.

As the saying goes, worry leads to confusion. This kind of little mistake was made because Chu Ze was too worried about his own safety.

"Okay, it's just a small earthquake, don't worry." Xia Anruo said softly.

"Why don't you come back first and go again in a few days." Chu Ze said after hesitating for a moment.

"Why?" Xia Anruo frowned.

"I'm worried something might happen to you." Chu Ze always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"It's not that serious. It's just a small earthquake. It's over, isn't it?" Xia Anruo felt that Chu Ze was worrying too much.

"There might be aftershocks or something." Chu Ze didn't know why, but he was panicking. He didn't want Xia Anruo to go. He felt that something unexpected would happen if Xia Anruo went.

Although he doesn't believe in metaphysics, it doesn't hurt to believe in it at this time.

Xia Anruo originally wanted to say that the earthquake was only 4.2, how strong could the aftershocks be? But then she thought that Chu Ze was worried about her, so she weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and after thinking about it, she agreed softly:

"Okay, I'll be back now."

……

In the early morning, Xia Anruo returned to the apartment.

Chu Ze didn't sleep at all. He waited until Xia Anruo came home before he fell into a deep sleep with her.

The next morning, news of a 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Sichuan Province topped the trending searches.

Xia Anruo and Chu Ze were holding their cell phones, looking at each other on the bed, both of them a little scared of each other.

The premonition came true.
