Chapter 613 - 292: An Unexpected Encounter at the Bank!
Gu Lina felt that she had met a benefactor today!
The President Jiang in front of her was definitely the benefactor of her destiny!
Gu Lina had lived for more than twenty years, and she had always been ordinary and unremarkable since childhood.
She had never shown any extraordinary abilities.
From kindergarten to elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, her academic performance was always average.
Her appearance was also very ordinary. Although not ugly, she couldn’t be considered pretty either.
After graduation, she found very common jobs, with generally low salaries.
Due to her introverted nature, she wasn’t good at getting along with people and was often bullied by her colleagues.
Until she got involved in the online novel writing industry.
Gu Lina felt that this was simply her "destined career"!
She could just sit in front of the computer in her rental apartment and type away every day.
She didn’t need to meet anyone to earn money.
Her longest stretch without leaving home lasted an entire month.
She just stayed in her apartment writing and reading novels every day!
If others stayed home for so long without going out, they’d probably go crazy.
But Gu Lina thoroughly enjoyed that lifestyle.
It’s just that...
Her writing skills were also very average, extremely average.
She relied on hard work, writing a lot, to earn some hard-earned money each month through sheer volume.
For someone like Gu Lina who was super easy to satisfy, she was quite content with her current income.
Doing what she loved every day while making money—what could be more blissful than that?
Combining her hobby and her career perfectly, she felt she was truly a "born web novel sage."
Today, someone was interested in her little-known novel.
This investor, who was negotiating with the website to buy the rights to her work, said he valued her highly and wanted to cultivate her.
What else could this be but a benefactor?
Looking at posts on an author forum where authors announce selling their novel rights daily, receiving thousands at once.
To say she wasn’t envious would be a lie.
Which web novel author doesn’t long for their work to be adapted into a short drama and known by more people?
Even if there was no rights fee, they’d still want it!
Of course, if there was a rights fee, that would be even better!
It’s just that...
In the novel website’s library of a million novels, there are countless with better results than hers.
The chance of her unpopular novel being adapted was virtually impossible.
Until President Jiang appeared before her!
Gu Lina could feel that Jiang Tao’s recognition of her was more than just talk.
He was sincerely taking action!
Gu Lina received notification from her editor that the rights to her novel were almost certain to be sold.
The short drama department was evaluating the price.
Joining President Jiang’s company meant she could continue doing what she loved.
She could also attend training to learn quality courses and enhance her skills.
Plus, the salary was very high, and the benefits were excellent!
Gu Lina, one among thousands of online writers, lived month to month on the meager royalties.
She only joined her hometown’s rural cooperative and hadn’t paid into social security.
Joining Jiang Tao’s company meant the company would pay Beijing’s five insurances and one fund for her, providing future life security.
However...
Gu Lina, used to being alone with her socially anxious personality...
Might find it hard to quickly adjust to working at the company and interacting with colleagues daily.
Jiang Tao noticed Gu Lina’s somewhat troubled expression and asked in a calm tone:
"Xiao Gu, do you have any concerns? Feel free to share, and we can tackle this together."
"Ah, no, no, it’s just that... I’m not very good at dealing with people."
"It’s just that I’m a bit socially anxious. I’m worried about not getting along with colleagues at the company."
Gu Lina hesitantly expressed her concerns, then anxiously looked at Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, so you’re worried about that? There’s no need, truly. If you don’t like going to the company, you can continue working from home."
"Ah? You can work from home?"
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Gu Lina’s eyes widened even further.
A high-paying job with excellent benefits that allows working from home? What a dream job!
Jiang Tao laughed: "Yes, our company’s work environment is very relaxed. As long as you do your job well, no one will mind if you don’t appear at the company once a year."
"Really? It can be like this?"
Gu Lina was surprised to hear about such a casual and easy work atmosphere.
"Of course, our company’s principle is people-centered, encouraging employees’ initiative."
"Work happily, live happily. Join us, and you’ll love this job."
Jiang Tao smiled at Gu Lina, believing she surely couldn’t resist such an offer from Jiang Entertainment Company.
Of course, if she truly didn’t want to join, Jiang Tao wouldn’t force her.
Although Gu Lina had talent in short drama writing,
Without her, it wouldn’t drastically affect Jiang Tao’s earnings speed.
He wasn’t desperate to recruit Gu Lina into his company.
Everyone has their own aspirations, and he respected any choice Gu Lina made.
"President Jiang, thank you for your trust. I’m willing to join your company and follow your footsteps as we grow together."
Gu Lina took a deep breath and finally made what she considered the most important and correct decision.
"Hahaha, good, good. No wonder you’re a writer, your speech shows such skill."
