Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Sheng Tang Makes Money Again
The editor-in-chief saw the lawyer and was stunned for quite a while. After finally getting rid of the lawyer, she heard from the secretary that the article’s readership had exceeded one million.
Such a good opportunity, but she missed it.
Their boss would definitely give her trouble.
Her arrogance had finally cost her. Now the competition among new media companies was very intense, and her position as editor-in-chief was at risk.
Jiang Baocu thought of this and was very happy.
Sheng Tang said, "If you can terminate the contract, you should. Focus on your studies."
Jiang Baocu listened to her and said, "I will terminate the contract. I didn’t know the ropes before and found it fun to explore. Now I’ve understood that these companies have nothing more to teach me. I will quit."
Sheng Tang nodded and hung up the phone.
On Sunday, she spent half the day in the gym and the other half playing golf with Gu Shiting, hardly checking her phone.
Jiang Baocu sent her a lot of voice messages.
There were just too many. Sheng Tang was too lazy to listen. Anyway, they would see each other in class tomorrow, and she would repeat everything then.
Sure enough, on Monday morning, she met Jiang Baocu and first listened to her complaints.
"Why didn’t you reply to my messages?"
"I was very busy over the weekend," Sheng Tang said, yawning.
After Jiang Baocu finished complaining, she hurried to the main point.
First, over the weekend, Sheng Tang’s article became the number one hit, with more than 30,000 shares and an astonishing number of reads on Weibo. The readership on WeChat had exceeded five million.
Second, Jiang Baocu’s account had gained numerous followers, significantly boosting her fame. Her lawyer exploited a loophole and threatened the company, successfully terminating the contract without spending a cent.
Third...
When it came to the third point, Jiang Baocu teased, "Guess what I’m going to say?"
Sheng Tang thought for a moment, "Is it about tips?"
She had heard that tipping was very popular and crazy recently. Jiang Baocu deliberately stretched her voice, probably because the tips were quite substantial.
"You’re so clever!" She leaned closer to Sheng Tang, "Guess how much we got in tips?"
"I can’t guess."
"After the split, it’s over 100,000." Jiang Baocu was thrilled.
It wasn’t that she had never seen 100,000 yuan, but it was the first time she earned so much money by herself, or rather, thanks to Sheng Tang.
One could imagine how she felt.
Her aunt had seen it too and specifically called her, "You managed to make a name for yourself even with your small ventures! Not bad! Is that Sheng Tang your pen name?"
"No, she’s my classmate," Jiang Baocu replied.
"Then you used your classmate’s article to run your account? That’s impressive. Don’t be proud, keep working hard." Her aunt said.
"Yes," Jiang Baocu responded.
Her aunt added, "Don’t shortchange your classmate. All the tip money should go to her. You’ve already gained fame, which money can’t buy. Don’t be stingy. Being stingy won’t get you far."
Jiang Baocu had already thought of this.
"...Give me an account, and I’ll transfer all the money to you," Jiang Baocu said, "This is what you deserve. Don’t refuse. There will be ongoing tips, and I’ll give them to you in installments."
Sheng Tang nodded, "Alright, you transfer it. I’ll treat you to dinner after school."
Jiang Baocu laughed.
She always felt happiest when spending time with Sheng Tang. Sheng Tang knew she sincerely wanted to give, so she didn’t refuse, and there was no suspicion between them.
Sheng Tang wouldn’t doubt the truth of the amount she mentioned.
Between two people, whether friends, family, or lovers, mutual trust is rare and precious.
"I want to eat at that Japanese place again; the sweet shrimp was particularly good last time," Jiang Baocu said.
Sheng Tang laughed, "Alright."
With just one article, she earned 100,000 yuan. Sheng Tang felt it was pretty good.
Though she knew, Cinderella’s value far exceeded this; it should be worth hundreds of millions.
