Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Studio 720
City East District, Happiness Community.
In the past few days, Lin Chuan and Zhang Xinxin thoroughly cleaned up the miscellaneous room next to the small supermarket.
The Little Landlady had someone repaint the place, and arranged five second-hand computers that had been scavenged, with configurations that were quite decent.
On the wall beside the entrance, there was a sign hanging.
720 Studio.
Indeed, this was the temporary office location for Lin Chuan’s studio.
The studio might have been small, but the division of labor was clear.
Lin Chuan was responsible for the crucial technical work.
As for the Little Landlady, she took care of the studio’s utilities, rent, computers, and computer peripherals, and also doubled as the studio’s customer service and handled business negotiations, among other things.
Initially.
Lin Chuan planned to operate the studio on his own, with his apprentice, Zhang Xinxin, acting as customer service.
However, Zhang Xinxin refused to be taken advantage of and strongly demanded to co-own the studio, making a bold statement, “Master, you just handle the technical side, I’ll take care of everything else.”
At that moment, Lin Chuan was taken aback.
But on reflection, although the Little Landlady loved to watch short videos, one fact could not be ignored.
She was a wealthy girl!
A bona fide wealthy girl!
After all, the task of collecting rent was now handled by Zhang Xinxin, and the money ended up in her pocket.
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, looked back at himself and realized he was tight on money, severely short on funds, and he didn’t even have enough to buy a few computers.
The royalties from Sailing Novel wouldn’t be issued until the 10th.
So, he simply let the Little Landlady take a stake in the business.
Of course, the Little Landlady also held a significant resource in her hands.
Her uncle had opened a large internet cafe called Forbidden Summit Esports Internet Cafe in Anling in the Qingxiu District.
If the 720 Studio could collaborate with her uncle’s internet cafe, then there would be a substantial guarantee for the studio’s revenue.
Zhang Xinxin and her uncle had also agreed on a meeting.
Today at 3 p.m., both parties would meet at the ‘Forbidden Summit Esports Internet Cafe’ to discuss cooperation.
In the studio.
Lin Chuan sat in the comfortable gaming chair, leaning back lazily, “Little Landlady, when is that person you mentioned arriving?”
The Little Landlady folded her arms, supporting her about-to-tumble “mountains,” and pursed her lips, “He should be here soon, he said he’s nearby.”
While they were speaking, a knock on the door was heard.
“Hello, is this the 720 Studio?” A young man in a plaid shirt and jeans with a backpack and a crew cut appeared outside the door.
The visitor was none other than Li Qing.
“Are you Li Qing?” Lin Chuan got up and walked toward the door, smiling.
“Ah yes.” Li Qing paused, looking up at Lin Chuan, “And you must be the author Mr. Lin, right?”
Lin Chuan nodded and said with a smile, “That’s me.”
“Author, I’ve always been following your criminal records, and now I finally meet you in person!” Li Qing was a bit excited and his words somewhat incoherent.
Lin Chuan: “???”
The studio was on the ground floor, already a bit cool.
Li Qing’s comment seemed to drop the temperature by another two degrees Celsius.
Face-to-face big reveal!
Pfft–
The Little Landlady couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Master, you said you were a decent person, but your readers are saying your books are criminal records.”
A line of embarrassment appeared on Lin Chuan’s face: “With a clear conscience, what more can be said?”
“Stop making excuses.”
The Little Landlady blinked, her pretty face full of smiles.
Knowing that any further attempts at defense would only make things worse, Lin Chuan turned his head toward Li Qing, switching to business matters, “Li Qing, please, take a seat.”
The two sat down.
Lin Chuan, running his own studio for the first time and lacking experience in hiring employees, asked directly, “Do you want to join our 720 Studio?”
Li Qing glanced around the rudimentary studio and hesitated, “This studio, it’s just starting out, isn’t it?”
Lin Chuan nodded, “Yes.”
“Currently, is it just the two of you in this studio?” Li Qing looked at Lin Chuan and Zhang Xinxin and couldn’t help but ask again.
