After I was forced into a family, I was in a good mood

Xia Yining was in the company, so he naturally saw the latest release of Taigong Fishing Paintings.When the post was first posted, she happened to be in a video conference with the customer, and then she was busy conveying the customer's intention to the relevant staff. It took her a long time to see the reminder on the phone.

She asked her secretary to order takeaway for lunch, and seeing that Li Xiaoyuan and Qu Lan didn't go out to eat, she simply called them to the office.

"I didn't mean to occupy your lunch break, but I want to hear your opinions on this situation."

Xia Yining is now much more sensitive to public opinion than when she was in Xia's, not only because she became the boss herself, but also because she has studied this part of the business more thoroughly.

As for Jiang Yan's works, since they first gained attention and success on the Internet, we should pay more attention to feedback in this regard.

Seeing the content on her screen, Li Xiaoyuan and Qu Lan understood it, they had already seen it in the morning.

"You can say whatever you want, without worrying about anything."

Qu Lan thought for a while: "I'm not a big fan of Cat Princess, but basically I will buy new series. To be honest, if the theme of the next series is like the one released today, it may be attractive to me. will decrease."

At the beginning, she spoke in a more tactful manner, and secretly observed Xia Yining's reaction.

Xia Yining listened carefully, neither rebuttal nor angry: "Why?"

"First of all, the cat princess has been released for several issues. Everyone is already familiar with this image, and they have also injected their own personal emotions. Now the sudden addition of dietary elements is not bad, but it is a bit blunt. It is also a bit out of touch with the previous style. , it may be difficult to accept psychologically."

Seeing what Qu Lan said, Li Xiaoyuan also added something: "In fact, adding new elements must be a trend, otherwise readers will not keep chasing after them if they don't feel new. It's just that the elements added this time, how to say, are a bit unnatural. , or it may be that the two have not really merged."

Xia Yining frowned slightly, but it wasn't because she was unhappy to hear these comments.It was exactly what they said, and it was similar to how she felt before.Apart from her personal filter for Jiang Yan, from a purely market point of view, this draft is indeed not a success.

Seeing her contemplating, Qu Lan comforted her and said, "It's normal to encounter bottlenecks, and it may be that the previous series went too smoothly, which makes this pause particularly conspicuous."

Xia Yining shook his head: "It is indeed normal, but this pause has a different meaning to Jiang Yan."

She can't reveal too much about Jiang Yan's new plan to others. One is that it has not yet fully formed, and the other is that it is a commercial secret, and even her own employees cannot spread it easily.

But this is also an extremely important first step for Jiang Yan. If she suffers too much from this, Xia Yining is afraid that her budding ambition will be extinguished.Ambitious or not, she doesn't force it, she just doesn't want to see Jiang Yan being hit hard the first time he wants to do something so proactively.

"I have to find a way to help her get over this hurdle."

Li Xiaoyuan and Qu Lan couldn't think of too many suggestions for the specific content.Xia Yining didn't make it difficult for them. After eating, he saw that there was still an hour before work, so he drove them back: "Thank you for your unreserved comments. Don't think about it now, go back and rest."

"But Mr. Xia..."

"Don't take this as a burden. Jiang Yan and I will solve it. Just concentrate on your work. I don't have the money to pay double wages."

Qu Lan and Li Xiaoyuan had no choice but to clean up the lunch box with a smile and leave Xia Yining's office.After going out, the two continued to discuss: "It is estimated that Director Jiang will be hit hard this time, I hope she can break through the bottleneck soon."

After that, she came to the forum in a tacit understanding, and suppressed some fierce and rhythmic comments with her respective accounts.

Xia Yining deliberately got off work half an hour early today, and when he got home, there was no one downstairs, not even a faint cat meowing.She walked over and saw that the lights in the kitchen were off, and Jiang Youjun's nest was also empty.

She went upstairs and saw Jiang Yan was leaning on the recliner, and the fat cat nestled on her stomach with its little paws.Both the person and the cat closed their eyes, wondering if they were really asleep.

Hearing her footsteps, Jiang Youjun opened his eyes first, tilted his head and rubbed the back of Jiang Yan's hand.Xia Yining came back, and the position it occupied should be given up. It still has this awareness.

The fat cat jumped down, and when passing by Xia Yining's feet, it also stopped and rubbed its head a few times, then turned around three times at a step, and reluctantly went back to its nest.

Jiang Yan's lips moved, but he still didn't open his eyes.Xia Yining had seen her sleeping soundly, and knew that she was not asleep at this time, but she just didn't want to look at her.

Although she knew that Jiang Yan must be in a bad mood at the moment, she also knew that it might not be her who she wanted to avoid.But being deliberately ignored by Jiang Yan, Xia Yining still felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

It's just that now is not the time to worry about this, Jiang Yan needs comfort more than she does.

Xia Yining walked to the recliner, squatted down, reached out and gently brushed aside Jiang Yan's bangs, then slid her fingertips, passing by her eyebrows, cheeks, and the tip of her nose and lips, and finally pinched her soft lips a few times. earlobe.

"If you have any unhappiness, you can tell me, and we will share it together." Her voice was very soft and soft, not at all preaching, but a bit begging.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to open his eyes. In addition to being tired and lost, there was also confusion in his eyes.This is similar to what Xia Yining thought on the way home, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help feeling distressed.

She leaned on Jiang Yan's shoulder and hugged her: "Innovation always has a price, and only by constant trial and error can you find the right answer faster. If you succeed once, you need too much luck."

Jiang Yan forced a smile: "I know, so I'm only sad when I'm alone."

"You can be sad when you are two. In front of me, you don't have to pretend."

Jiang Yan sighed softly, which made Xia Yining feel her avoidance even more.

Compared with when the post was first published in the morning, most of the attention is from fans who have continued to pay attention to Taigong Diaohua.In the afternoon, more people saw the new drawing, and the comments were mixed.But as someone who has successfully published several series, Jiang Yan knows what these readers' feedback means.

She was indeed like a balloon that was suddenly popped, but she didn't want to escape reality.

"You have also seen the new draft, do you think the same as them?"

For Jiang Yan in this situation, he needed too much encouragement and support. Of course, Xia Yining knew what he had to say.

"I am your number one fan. Of course, I think you draw very well. Whether it is in terms of content innovation or painting style exploration, you are actively advancing. If you are an ordinary reader, the new elements this time are indeed a little less grasping. the soul of man."

Jiang Yan didn't expect her to speak so bluntly, but it was indeed true.When she hugged the cat in the afternoon, she thought a lot calmly. Maybe she was stuck in the confines of new elements, ignoring the core of the painting itself.

She put so much energy into how to add new elements, and forgot to grab the reader is the key.

"I also want to make readers like new elements, but I seem to be looking in the wrong direction."

"Then keep looking."

Xia Yining looked more optimistic than her, which made Jiang Yan laugh: "You seem to be very optimistic about my trial and error?"

"It's not wrong in itself if you are willing to try. Besides, readers may not be able to accept the big change for a while. When you integrate the new elements perfectly, it may not be that they don't like it."

In fact, Jiang Yan was not really desperate, she was just trapped by a momentary depression.Someone came to warm her, accompany her, and was willing to give her a hand to pull her away from the muddy and bloated troubles. I have to say, it was good luck.

She stood up, took Xia Yining by the hand and prepared to go downstairs to cook: "Probably all my luck was spent on meeting you. I have to work harder in other aspects."

The holding hands were shaken a few times, Xia Yining protested: "Obviously there will be more good luck in the future!"

Xia Yining didn't go to work the next day, Jiang Yan watched her sort out a small backpack unexpectedly: "Are you planning to skip work and go on a trip?"

"Today is Friday. It's not too much for me to take a day off occasionally. It's not a crime to go to the nearby ancient town to relax and combine work and rest."

Before Jiang Yan could ask, Xia Yining had already pulled her into the car.

Yongtang is about an hour's drive from Haicheng, and it's a bit congested this weekend, but it doesn't affect their interest in traveling.Jiang Yan had almost figured it out before going to bed last night, but he didn't expect Xia Yining to take her out on vacation today to relax.

Speaking of it, they haven't really relaxed for a long time.In Xia Yining's words, combining work and rest is not a crime.Jiang Yan opened the car window more, and the cool wind from outside blows in, which is not biting but very cool.

She smiled and turned to Xia Yining and said, "When we retire in the future, we might as well buy an RV to travel around."

Xia Yining knew that this wish was still many years away from being realized, so he still responded positively: "Okay, then I will enjoy it later."

"Huh? Yesterday you said you would take care of each other, but today you enjoy it?"

Xia Yining bit her lip. What she said about taking care of each other last night was about being a driver!

But also... can't quite say, no.

She chose to skip this topic automatically and focus on the front.

After they parked the car, the receptionist of the clubhouse was already waiting for them at the intersection.

Xia Yining looked around: "I haven't been here for a few years, and the commercial development here is very complete."

"Excessive commercialization, both good and bad." Jiang Yan also felt emotional, "I remember that there was only a small parking lot here before, and many fork roads could directly enter the village, which is quite original."

Xia Yining pinched the back of her hand and looked at her sideways: "It's like your painting is also facing such a choice, you are trying to find a balance."

"Still figuring it out."

They walked all the way into the village, and along the way they met many people who came to sketch with easels, most of them were young students.At the other end of the promenade closer to Bar Street, more people gathered with their mobile phones to shoot videos.

The ancient town elements have different beauty and value in the eyes of different groups.Jiang Yan suddenly gained new insights from these pictures he passed by, and his mind was opened up at once.

She faintly felt something beating in her mind, but it was still relatively weak and not obvious enough.But she had a hunch that this might be the guide to get her out of the predicament.
