Chapter 170: It is not advisable to take advantage of others
Fu Yao's eyes flashed with surprise. Although he had just entered the industry, he had heard that many celebrities would think of any way to reasonably avoid taxes, and would do anything to drive the finance department crazy.
After all, if someone has made as much money as Qin Xi, the tax paid is as high as 40% of the total income, which would be painful for anyone. Big companies are better off, but independent artists or family workshops that have just become popular and have tasted the huge sweetness of the law have often used loopholes in the law to avoid taxes.
Fu Yao didn't know much about Qin Xi before, but when President Song arranged for him to work in Qin Xi's personal studio, he had no objection. After all, working for a big company or for an individual made no difference to him.
But as a boss, Qin Xi was very conscientious to draw the bottom line in advance, to be direct and frank, and not let her subordinates guess on their own. At least it wouldn't be tiring to follow her. And she generously proposed to pay the taxes in time and not take advantage of the country, which made Fu Yao look up to her.
Although Fu Yao is young, he knows how to behave in the workplace and rarely directly questions his leader's decisions, but he couldn't help but ask at this time.
"According to your current income, if you pay it in full every year, the amount is really not small..."
The rest of the question was not asked, but it was obvious.
Don’t you feel any pain at all?
Qin Xi chuckled and stared at Fu Yao. It turns out that not only am I observing you as the boss, but you as an employee also want to observe me as the boss.
"You are someone who deals with money, so you should understand this truth better than me. It is difficult to satisfy your greed. If you walk along the river frequently, you will get your shoes wet. Even if you are proud for a while, who can guarantee that you will be proud forever?"
"As a top female star, I have reaped all the benefits that have gushed out of the entertainment industry. So many eyes are on me. If I can't cherish my feathers, am still not satisfied with the huge income, and make fun of my decades-long career for the sake of immediate benefits, then I am short-sighted and will bring about my own destruction!"
"If I want to make more money, I should spend more time on the right things, work hard on filming, keep myself popular, use my brain to do side jobs and investments, instead of thinking about fleecing the country every day. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Fu Yao finally had a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Fortunately, he had met a boss who was clear-headed and didn't have to face the risk of dancing on the red line and quitting at any time. It seemed that this job was not bad...
Fu Yao revealed a faint smile and nodded slightly.
"Boss, I will do my best to take care of everything for you in the economic field, to ensure that you have no worries and a pleasant cooperation~"
Qin Xi and Fu Yao smiled at each other. Both smart people saw satisfaction from each other. After a systematic discussion, the two finally determined the amount of Qin Xi's investment in Meige. In the future, Qin Xi will own 5.21% of Meige's shares.
Fu Yao stood up and said, "Boss, if there are no other questions, I will submit this plan to the Finance Department for review and then to Mr. Song."
Qin Xi raised an eyebrow, "There is indeed a problem~"
Fu Yao: “???”
"Can you please stop calling me boss? It sounds awkward..."
Fu Yao has a master's degree and has been working for two years, so she is older than Qin Xi. It is inappropriate to call her "Sister Xi" like Lili, and it seems disrespectful to call her "Xiao Xi" like Sister Meng. While Qin Xi was thinking hard, Fu Yao quickly agreed.
"Okay, boss."
Qin Xi: “???”
Looking at Fu Yao's serious expression, it seems that this guy has a bit of dry sense of humor.
Qin Xi looked at Fu Yao's tall and slender back and suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, there's another question, and it's real this time!"
Fu Yao paused. Qin Xi asked directly without waiting for him to turn around.
"I heard that you are a master's student at F University and a top student with excellent academic performance. Many top investment banks have offered you olive branches. Why did you give up the investment banks that can create more value for yourself and choose the entertainment industry?"
Fu Yao turned around slowly, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and his expression was hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
"It's simple. It's just more money, less work and closer to home."
Is it that simple? Qin Xi felt that there must be more to it than that. This Fu Yao was quite mysterious, but no matter what, the fact that he was capable and willing to work hard was enough for Qin Xi.
Qin Xi sighed again, saying that many male stars in the circle should thank Fu Yao for not rushing in to compete with them for food. If he really had entered, many male stars might have had no food to eat.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenxing's figure suddenly appeared in Qin Xi's mind. If it were Gu Chenxing, there would be no such concerns at all, because as long as he was there, no one could steal the attention away from him.
It's been a while since the filming of "It Happened to Be You" was finished. I wonder how he is doing now? Has he recovered from the injury he sustained? Does he plan to continue to stay in the entertainment industry?
During this period of time, Qin Xi has been deliberately avoiding getting any news about Gu Chenxing. She doesn't know if it's because she is blinded by a leaf or she is trying to cover her ears and steal the bell. Because she knows that since she has already made a break, she should not have any lingering feelings. But occasionally when she thinks of him, she can't help but feel a strange feeling.
Qin Xi shook her head vigorously. Qin Xi, this is not the time to think about these romantic things. There are still many things waiting for you to do!
Qin Xi quickly dialed Chen Bingxia's number.
Chen Bingxia's voice sounded uninterested, even dejected.
Qin Xi understood immediately, "Director, is the investment still not going well?"
"Alas!" Chen Bingxia sighed.
"It's hard to describe in words..."
Qin Xi really came true as he said, and he knocked on the doors of major investors again.
When the investor heard that the heroine was Qin Xi, he immediately showed great interest. But when he saw that it was a movie, his interest instantly waned. When he saw again that it was a niche art film, he immediately said that he would think about it again and sent the customer away.
Chen Bingxia was hit hard, and after hearing some rumors on the Internet, Chen Bingxia adhered to the mentality of believing it and getting the money by hook or by crook, so she approached Yaohe Investment. She had originally held high hopes, but she didn't expect... She was rejected remotely without even meeting Xu Fang.
Chen Bingxia was in despair again. She really regretted believing those online rumors. They were all lies!
Chen Bingxia felt embarrassed when she talked to Qin Xi, thinking of using Qin Xi's relationship to attract investment, but it was just her petty intentions.
"If you go to look for him, you will certainly come back empty-handed..."
Qin Xi sneered. Xu Fang seemed generous, but he was actually very stingy. The most fundamental reason for his generosity towards her was her irreplaceable value. But in the film industry, she was worthless, so Xu Fang certainly wouldn't invest a penny in her.
But it’s also good this way, otherwise Qin Xi would feel disgusted when sharing the profits with Xu Fang.
Qin Xi comforted Chen Bingxia, saying that she planned to invest an additional part in addition to her salary and act as an investor in "The Abyss and You". At least it would ensure that the crew could start filming smoothly. But the subsequent investors would have to consider it as soon as possible.
It was like a blessing from heaven. Chen Bingxia saw hope again and was so happy that she was incoherent.
What she didn't expect was that Qin Xi was so efficient and the male lead was chosen so quickly!
