The next morning.

Zhong Ming got up very early and took a look at the account balance of the bracelet.

1735637.

There are zero and whole things, more than 100,000 of which is the previous savings, while this time the 2 million bonus is still 1.6 million after tax deduction.

The tax deduction in this world is somewhat different from that in Zhong Ming’s previous life, but the 2 million bonus is strictly not considered salary or bonus income. Otherwise, according to the highest progressive tax rate in this world, Zhong Ming can directly vomit blood.

This time, the 2 million prize metal was taxed at 20%, and 400,000 was instantly deducted.

However, for Zhong Ming, this amount is already very acceptable. After all, if you have to deduct taxes in other ways, you will deduct more.

There is only so much money, so you still have to save some money.

Now the prize money for the three people is in Zhong Ming's hands, because when registering for the Virtual Idol Competition, it is either an individual or a studio. In short, the organizer only recognizes one account, or a personal account or a studio's public account. It is impossible for the organizer to split the prize money into three parts and call it to three people.

Therefore, Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna still trust Zhong Ming more. If someone else took the money and ran away, it would be really hard to say.

Of course, there is also a certain reason because Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna may not have thought that Shanaier would win the first prize...

After Zhong Ming finished washing up, he started looking for a house online.

He had considered moving before and looked at some houses, but he didn't finalize it in the end because he was not sure about his subsequent job changes.

Now that I have decided to open my own studio, it is easy to deal with. I just rent a house that is more than 100 square meters, and solve the problem of housing and workplace together.

Zhong Ming asked Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen in advance, but their houses had not yet expired. If they left now, there would be a lot of deposits deducted, and neither of them would be willing to bear it.

What's more, if three people live together, the three-bedroom apartment may not be enough, and the range of options is much smaller.

Therefore, Zhong Ming’s temporary idea is to rent a two-bedroom apartment first, a commercial and residential house as an office location, and try to rent it in a place close to Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen’s residence. If the independent game becomes a real game, the enrollment may be expanded soon, and a new work location will have to be replaced by it, and it is impossible to expect to be in one step.

Of course, this is a bit far-reaching.

In principle, this world does not allow residential houses as office locations. When registering a studio, there will be special industrial and commercial departments to verify it. However, some commercial and residential houses are OK, so Zhong Ming’s goal is clearer.

The rental software in this world is also more advanced. You can directly open the panoramic image of the apartment in the app and zoom at will to view various details. It is basically not much different from the on-site viewing of houses. Zhong Ming plans to choose a few more satisfied ones first, and then go to the spot to check them out, and strive to make a decision in the past two days.

Just as I was watching, the bracelet rang.

"Hello, is it Mr. Zhong Ming, the designer of Chanel? We are from Gonna Entertainment. I wonder if you are interested in working in our company?..."

The other party said a lot, and Zhong Ming replied: "Oh, sorry, I don't have this intention."

Not long after hanging up the bracelet, another company called, and Zhong Ming also refused.

More than half an hour later, Xinghua Interactive Entertainment also called and confirmed with Zhong Ming again whether Shanai's copyright should be developed in cooperation and whether he would be willing to work at Xinghua Interactive Entertainment...

Zhong Ming was speechless, and this morning was simply unbearable!

"If you call again, you will refuse to answer!"

Zhong Ming looked at a few more houses and the bracelet rang again.

He was about to refuse to answer, but he saw that it was called by Manager Xie.

“…Hey? Thank you, Superintendent?”

The tone of Director Xie on the opposite side was a little awkward: "Ah, Zhong Ming. That's right, Mr. Yu is particularly concerned about your resignation, so let me ask you if you can continue to work, transfer you to a new project, or even directly serve as the chief designer, so that you can get conditions as much as possible in terms of salary and position."

Zhong Ming smiled helplessly: "Thank you, if you are kidnapped, you can cough twice. I will go and rescue you now!"

Manager Xie was also happy: "Hey, Mr. Yu asked me to call me, how can I not call? Forget it, I know you kid don't plan to come back. I just call and go through the motions so that Mr. Yu can ask again."

Zhong Ming asked, "Didn't Mr. Yu agree when I left the job? Why did he regret it again?"

"What else can it be? Of course it's because of the virtual idol competition!" Director Xie was angry and happy, "I said you are so good. I have been hiding the first prize of the virtual idol competition for so long, and I didn't even tell me! It was because you were very determined before, so Mr. Yu approved your resignation application, but now Mr. Yu and Director Bai found that the first prize winner was you, and they thought he regretted it!"

"In fact, it's the same whether it's approved or not. You will automatically resign when the time comes, and it's impossible to keep me." Zhong Ming said.

"That's right, but if you had known that you had won the first prize in the Virtual Idol Competition, Mr. Yu would have left you at all costs. Guangyi Interactive Entertainment's virtual idol project has been half dead. After several supervisors have changed to a popular virtual idol, they were beaten by Xinghua Interactive Entertainment from beginning to end. Mr. Yu almost planned to disband the virtual idol department. Now you have won the first prize in the competition and have the full copyright of Shanaier. Mr. Yu regrets it." Manager Xie explained.

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "Okay, thank Mr. Yu for his kindness for me, but the copyright cannot be sold, and it is impossible to go back to work. I will register for a studio in the next two days."

"I know, I will definitely tell Mr. Yu the truth." Director Xie asked again, "How is it, is the studio going well? If you have any difficulties, such as lack of people and money, you can tell me that although I don't have much money or connections, I can still help within my ability."

"Okay, then I'll be busy first, I'll talk back."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Ming was also a little amused and crying.

It's really popular and there are so many troubles.

After several months of hard work, no one asked me, but once I won the prize, I know all over the world.

If it would be fine two months ago, no, a month ago, Mr. Yu asked Zhong Ming to be responsible for the entire virtual idol project of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, then Zhong Ming might go directly and do his best to do it well.

But now? He will definitely not go.

I can only say that many things are so contradictory. When you have the ability but have no way to prove it, others don’t even want to give you the chance to prove it. After you prove your ability, you don’t care so much about those jobs that are within your reach.
