Chapter 29

During the new book period, I, Wei Yu Qian Xiao, am seeking all kinds of support. Every click, every collection, and every recommendation vote is very important! Don't forget to cast your recommendation votes while reading! Additionally, there will only be two updates today, with the next one likely to be released around 4 PM.

Chen Mo no longer felt much reverence for Tian Tian, a university computer teacher. Thinking about it, he said, "Well... first, I think the picture quality is a bit rough, even worse than those pirated DVDs. Second, there's a noticeable pause every time the scene changes, which could be improved. And... the video's concept seems too common, not very original—Sister Tian, I'm just speaking my mind, don't take it to heart."

Tian Tian did not refute any of Chen Mo's points; she also felt he was right. Sighing, she said, "I've only been using video editing software for less than two months. Taking on this freelance job was a bit rash. If I had more time, I could have produced a better work. Master Chen, you're so skilled. How about you help me remake the video promotional clip?"

Chen Mo paused for a moment and said, "This... I'm afraid there isn't enough time, right?"

Tian Tian had mentioned that it took her over a month to make this video, and the deadline was the day after tomorrow, leaving only a little over a day. How could they possibly finish in time?

Tian Tian seemed to be a very persistent person. She smiled and said, "I'll assist you. If we both work hard, maybe we can make it."

She paused and continued, "The person from the Provincial Propaganda Department said that the 50,000 yuan labor fee is just the base. If the higher-ups are very satisfied, the fee can be increased. Master Chen, since you're working here, I assume you need money. Earning more can help you solve your financial difficulties, right?"

Tian Tian had two reasons for strongly inviting Chen Mo to help remake the video promotional clip. The first was to help Chen Mo earn more money to alleviate his financial difficulties, and the second was to learn from him. As a university computer teacher, she felt inferior to this young boy, which was very frustrating for her. Helping Chen Mo earn more money and improving her own computer skills made her very determined.

Chen Mo wasn't particularly interested in remaking the video promotional clip, but the possibility of an increased labor fee made him reconsider. He asked, "Sister Tian, how much more can the labor fee be increased?"

Tian Tian, sensing Chen Mo's interest, quickly added, "If the higher-ups are satisfied, it can be increased by at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. If they are extremely satisfied, doubling it is not impossible."

Chen Mo immediately decided, "Alright! Let's do it! Time is tight, so let's start now!"

Tian Tian pushed up her glasses and nodded with a smile, "I'll follow your lead. Let's start now."

The two of them immediately got to work at the computer. Chen Mo, focused on earning more money, forgot about his agreement with Xi Du.

Xi Du waited for a long time but saw no sign of Chen Mo. She muttered angrily, "Hmph! That guy must be playing me! How dare he treat Xi Du like this! I'll definitely teach him a lesson next time!"

She then posted a message in the base camp, "That guy said he would change the location and come for my test, but it's been over half an hour and he still hasn't shown up. It looks like he's chickened out."

Dong Xie: "Xi Du, wait a bit longer. You have nothing else to do anyway. For our first business, please bear with it."

Nan Di: "Right, this guy can help us improve our lives. We can't give up easily."

Bei Gai: "Wah... my big meal... wah... I don't want to eat instant noodles..."

Faced with the comments from her three fellow disciples, Xi Du sighed, "Alright, I'll wait a bit longer. If he doesn't show up in another hour, I'll have to give up."

At that moment, Chen Mo was learning the essentials of video production from Tian Tian. From the intensity of their discussion, it was clear that even if an hour passed, he wouldn't remember this matter.

Tian Tian explained the key points of video production in detail. Each time she mentioned something, Chen Mo quickly grasped the essence, leaving Tian Tian speechless and increasingly admiring of him. In her view, this young boy's skills were on par with a university professor, and the gap between them was significant.

Chen Mo was unaware of Tian Tian's thoughts. He was learning the relevant knowledge very seriously and brainstorming his own ideas. After Tian Tian finished explaining, he began analyzing the video editing software on the computer, not saying a word for a long time.

Tian Tian sat beside him, not interrupting. After nearly ten minutes, Chen Mo turned to her and asked, "Sister Tian, are you familiar with software programming?"

Tian Tian was confident in this area and nodded, "I'm pretty good at it. Why do you ask?"

Chen Mo's eyes twinkled, and he smiled, "I want to learn about software programming. Can you teach me, Sister Tian?"

Tian Tian was slightly taken aback and hesitated, "Master Chen, we don't have much time left. Why are you learning software programming now?"

Chen Mo chuckled and looked at Tian Tian steadily, "Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the chopping of wood. I think instead of using such a rudimentary video editing software to create a new video, we should write a new video software ourselves. Using it might yield better results."

Tian Tian's eyes widened, "You... you're sure about this?"

Chen Mo nodded firmly, "I'm sure."

Two minutes later, Tian Tian began teaching Chen Mo about software programming. Since Chen Mo already had a solid foundation, he grasped the concepts quickly, learning at a speed that left Tian Tian speechless.

Tian Tian had never met anyone like Chen Mo. During the teaching process, she couldn't help but ask, "Master Chen, how can you learn so fast?"

Chen Mo replied, "I'm very familiar with the basics of computers. It's like having a well-dug channel. You're now injecting new knowledge through this channel, and since I already have a solid foundation, I naturally learn quickly."
