Chapter 52 The Zhang Family Celebrates the New Year, Parents Are Proud!

Zheng Shuang waited and waited, and she was really about to cry.

Just when she was about to despair, Tang Lou returned.

"Here, put these on. I'll take you out for a meal later."

Tang Lou bought her a set of casual clothes, a hat, and a large face mask.

When Zheng Shuang saw that Tang Lou's eyes were red, she pounced on him and bit his shoulder.

"You bastard, how dare you bully me!"

"I was terrified."

Zheng Shuang was genuinely panicked; she didn't even dare to think about what she would do if Tang Lou really abandoned her.

"Alright, I won't abandon you."

"If something happens to you, how will I be able to film 'Sito'?"

Hearing Tang Lou's reason, Zheng Shuang became even angrier.

"You bastard, I'm crying my eyes out. And you're still thinking about your new project."

Zheng Shuang was still a little angry, so she bit him again before obediently putting on the new clothes Tang Lou had chosen, along with his hat and mask.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat."

Tang Lou then took Zheng Shuang's hand.

The two of them are finally dressed more normally now. However, with their good looks and figures, they still attract a lot of attention even with sunglasses and masks on.

Zheng Shuang was still a little flustered. She held onto Tang Lou's arm with both hands, pressed her head against him, and lowered her head slightly, afraid of being recognized.

This was the first time Tang Lou had seen Zheng Shuang in such a petite and dependent state.

The two of them strolled around for a bit and bought some food.

Zheng Shuang got into her car with a pounding heart, and only then did she relax.

Only then did she realize that she was really tired and hungry.

"Brother Tang Lou, can I come to your place? Will you come with me today?"

"I was a little scared just now, stay with me."

Tang Lou coldly shook his head: "Go back obediently."

Seeing Tang Lou's indifferent expression, Zheng Shuang's eyes suddenly reddened.

Just then, Tang Lou's WeChat rang, and he saw that it was Dilraba calling.

Zheng Shuang listened with curiosity.

"Mr. Tang, are you free tonight? I'm missing you. Let's go out for dinner together."

Reba, having just experienced the pleasures of first love, longs for the tenement building and wants to strike while the iron is hot.

I just had a good time with Zheng Shuang today. Tang Lou is quite health-conscious and prefers a long-term approach, so I'm not in much of a mood for it.

"Not today. I'm currently auditioning for a role in 'Sito,' and I'm quite busy lately, so let's not meet for now."

Tang Lou refused outright. He could sleep with a woman, but not repeatedly, especially not the same one.

"I have something to do, I'll hang up now."

Tang Lou showed no mercy or tenderness towards women.

"Alright then, Mr. Tang, you're busy."

Reba felt a little wronged, but she couldn't do anything about Tang Lou.

After all, Tang Lou wasn't her boyfriend, nor was he anyone to her.

After Tang Lou hung up the phone, Zheng Shuang, whose eyes had been red, instantly brightened up.

"Mr. Tang, were you auditioning for an erotic film? Do you really need to personally instruct the actresses?"

Zheng Shuang felt relieved to see that Reba had also been rebuffed.

She had initially thought Tang Lou was only a beast to her, but it turned out he treated every seductive and shameless woman equally. Now she felt at peace.

Tang Lou grabbed Zheng Shuang's chin, his face stern:

"It's none of your business as a minor actor to meddle in the producer's affairs."

"I'll be on time to report to the film set once the new year starts."

"During the Chinese New Year, be careful to maintain your weight and physical condition."

After Tang Lou finished speaking, he left without a second thought.

Seeing Tang Lou's heartless act of pulling the cord, Zheng Shuang was furious. However, recalling everything that had happened today, it was something she had never experienced before.

Zheng Shuang is becoming increasingly obsessed with Tanglou.

"This guy is bad, but he's really charming."

...

...

For the next period of time, Tang Lou led his team to wrap up the year-end work.

On the 26th of the lunar calendar, Coolcat Company also gave employees a holiday.

That afternoon, Tang Lou received his year-end bonus from the company!

Tang Lou looked at his emails about his salary and year-end bonus. The three projects were huge hits, which clearly made Shen Yan very satisfied.

They gave the tenement building a year-end bonus equivalent to sixty months' salary, which adds up to almost five million!

Such a salary is unheard of among P7 level employees, and the year-end bonus of sixty months is a record in the history of KuMiao Video.

That is, only after Tencent's TiMi Studio next door created a hit game like "Honor of Kings" did they receive such a long bonus.

Since the appointment of P8 level employees in Tanglou will not be issued until early next year, the rewards for this year will still be based on P7.

Tang Lou was also realizing the benefits of working for a large company for the first time; his salary was comparable to that of the CEO of an ordinary company.

Only a large corporation like Alibaba could offer such an extravagant bonus.

Of course, the biggest reason for choosing CoolMeow instead of going it alone is the platform's resources and connections.

If Tanglou were to handle the same project alone, many potential partners would refuse without even listening to explanations.

However, as long as Tang Lou is on KuMiao and backed by Alibaba, even the top celebrities in the industry will give him some face.

With such a large bonus, Tang Lou could be considered to have returned home in glory.

After returning home, the town was already in the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, with red lanterns hanging on the lampposts along the roads.

My family's sock factory has been closed for a week, so that the workers can return to their hometowns as soon as possible.

Tang Lou also gave Yang Chaoyue a holiday. This year, Yang Chaoyue's life has undergone earth-shattering changes, and it is also the first year that she can finally hold her head high.

Yang Chaoyue has earned a lot of money this year. In addition to the 20% commission she was promised, Tang Lou also gave her a red envelope of 88,000 yuan.

"Chaoyue, this is recognition and a reward for your work this year. Next year, your junior boss will help you earn even more money."

Upon receiving this message, Yang Chaoyue immediately sent a thank-you emoji to her boss.

"Young boss, you're the best."

"This year is the happiest year of my life. I've already started my big New Year shopping spree."

"Indeed, having money in your pocket is a person's greatest source of confidence. Now I can rely on no one."

"Boss, thank you for changing my life."

"I'll definitely work twice as hard next year and make money for you! A look of utter devotion, like a scholar ready to die for his confidant."

When Tang Lou returned home, his parents were very happy.

I've been busy with work lately and haven't been home to Tanglou for a long time.

My parents cooked a big meal, and my mom kept putting food on my son's plate.

"Ah Lou, you've done three wildly popular shows this year. Has the company given you a promotion or a raise?"

"Has the industry developed better compared to when it was with Zhejiang TV?"

My mother is still very concerned about Tang Lou's current situation, and at the same time, she is also a little worried about whether he can adapt to the work at Cool Cat.

Tang Lou chuckled:

"Mom, if I tell anyone, you and Dad mustn't tell anyone else."

"When I start work next spring, my appointment will be P8 level, which is considered a mid-level manager."

"As for salary, I've already earned this much from project bonuses alone this year!"

Tang Lou held up five fingers.

My mom pretended to be very surprised and encouraged me, saying, "Fifty thousand yuan! That's pretty good, considering you've only been doing it for less than six months."

Tang Lou shook his head: "Mom, be a little bolder."

My mom was genuinely surprised: "No wonder it's a big company, they actually offered 500,000. That's much better than when we were working at Zhejiang TV."

My mom and dad are incredibly proud.

Tang Lou shook his head: "Mom, you're the head of a factory, be bolder."

Now Mom and Dad couldn't sit still anymore.

Five million? You got a five million bonus at the end of the year?

Tang Lou smiled and nodded.

"My God, our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! My son has really made something of himself."

"I've worked so hard running this factory, and I still don't earn as much as you do in a single year-end bonus."
