Everyday heroes

Chapter 439 Consumption Trap

Compared with the previous individual work, the company's team work has obvious advantages.

However, there is one thing that Guan Lang doesn't like very much.

That is the meeting.

Animation companies have too many meetings.

At present, in addition to the main creation of "Dawn Era", the company has to invest in manpower, and from time to time, it also needs to accept some small orders of animation outsourcing to generate income.

Some of the animation outsourcers are peers whose construction deadlines are too late, but most of them are game companies and advertisers.

Most animation producers these days are poor, but there are quite a few lists for game promotional videos and short commercials.

The advertising agency needs to hold a video conference for email negotiation.

After accepting the official offer, the script modification of the advertisement will also be discussed in a meeting.

Not to mention there are consultation meetings for storytelling, performance explanation meetings, and art meetings during the production process.
But maybe this is life.

There is always something annoying, but has to be done.

On the white horizontal table in the company's tea room, there are many desserts, snacks and drinks, all of which are public expenses, and employees can eat as they please during their breaks.

Today is the winter solstice, so Guan Lang also asked the logistics procurement department to buy special winter solstice snacks.

At yesterday's meeting, employees had disagreements on whether to eat glutinous rice balls or dumplings during the winter solstice, and whether the taste was salty or sweet, and they argued endlessly.

However, only children make choices, mature adults like Guan Lang want them all.

The differences in the tastes of the employees are naturally resolved.

Considering the winter solstice, some painters may have to go back to spend the holiday with their families, so Guan Lang got off work a little earlier today.

It can be regarded as staggering the crowds during the rush hour for them.

Of course, there are still relatively few married people in the company who have a family and a family, and most of them are single people.

They wanted to work overtime, and Guan Lang would not stop them.

In addition to the basic salary, the painter's income and salary are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and the more he does, the more he earns.

On the way back from get off work, Guan Lang went to the supermarket and bought all the ingredients for making hot pot and warm handbags for winter.

With Guan Lang's current physical fitness, his whole body is as warm as a small stove, so naturally he doesn't need a hand warmer, Wu Yazhen asked him to bring it.

Tiannan is neither south nor north, and most areas have no central heating in the north, and unlike some provinces and cities in the south, the seasons are like spring, so winter is indeed not very pleasant.

Moreover, there is no heating in the school classrooms, and the only way to keep warm is to wear thick clothes and other primitive means. If you can carry a warm handbag or warm baby stickers in class, you will be much more comfortable.

The shopping mall is crowded with people and it is very lively.

It will be Christmas in two days, and the decorations of all major shops have been replaced with Christmas styles.

Regardless of whether it is a foreign monk who likes to chant scriptures or not, Guan Lang has never figured out how this religious mass day in Europe and the United States is used to reunite with family members and enjoy delicious food. How did it become Valentine’s Day in Huaguoyan?

Guan Lang glanced at the product advertisement on the cabinet and shook his head slightly.

999 roses, 13.14 Ping An fruit, customized Christmas dinner, high-priced chocolates.
Look at the elements that are popular at Christmas, it is clearly the marketing activities of the merchants.

Why would anyone be willing to waste money?Confusing
Like him, because he has never had such consumption needs since he was a child, he has naturally avoided the consumption traps of countless merchants.

Floor heating is installed in the house, and as soon as you enter the room, you will be wrapped in warm air, and you will feel lazy unconsciously.

The living room was very quiet.

Qian Qiu curled up on the floor, his body undulating lightly, he seemed to be asleep.

The orange light, the sound from the TV in the distance, and the animation playing on the TV screen.

"This silly cat forgot to turn off the TV again." Guan Lang sighed, put down the shopping bag, and went to turn it off.

Looking at the time, it was only past five o'clock, which was still early.

He didn't rush to cook, but walked towards the bathroom, ready to take a hot bath.

In the evening, there is also the original painting work for the eighth episode of Dawn Era.

The mist was steaming, Guan Lang opened the door after taking a shower.

He vaguely heard movement in the living room and quickened his pace.

Probably not.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the dining table.

On the dining table in the living room, Wu Yazhen took out all the hot pot ingredients from the shopping bag and washed them. After finishing the plate, she was looking at a beautifully packaged goose egg yellow bag with great interest.

Noticing Guan Lang's movement, she turned around.

"Cocoa powder, cocoa butter" looked at the raw materials in the packaging bag, and she asked with some doubts: "Brother Lang, are you making chocolate fondue today?"

"Ah..." Guan Lang stopped in his tracks.

"But it shouldn't be."

Before Guan Lang could answer, she quickly denied her guess, because she found a set of DIY gingerbread man molds from the bag, which were obviously the materials and tools used to make chocolate.

"Cousin, are you going to make chocolate?" Wu Yazhen pinched her chin and asked, her expression became inexplicably meaningful.

"Is it handmade chocolate to give away at Christmas?"

"."

"Don't think too much about it. It's just something you bought for fun. Besides, even if it's a gift, it's just a gift in return. If someone gives you a gift, it would be rude not to return it. Well, that's it." Guan Lang He nodded slightly as he spoke, as if he had convinced himself.

He found this explanation very tenable.

In the distant middle school days, it was popular to exchange gifts at Christmas.When others give him chocolates, he will return a gift of Giri chocolates.

Although the source of the chocolate he gave back was also given by someone else, it still shows that he is a person who considers the psychological feelings of others.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, and I won't spread the word. I want to create a surprise." Wu Yazhen gently covered her lips and assured her knowingly.

At the dining table, I saw Wu Yazhen picking up her mobile phone and typing and replying messages from time to time.

Guan Lang was inexplicably vigilant, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly, and instead pretended to be indifferent.

He didn't ask the question until the hot pot dinner time was coming to an end.

He walked into the studio full of tangled feelings.

Is it time to send it out?The thoughts in his mind were like a mess.

Holding a pen, he scribbled meaningless lines on the animation paper.

Forget it, don't worry about it, let's make the chocolate first, let's talk about it later
