Chapter 544 First appease the secretary, then shower her with money.
She picked up the top three documents and tapped the covers with her fingertip:
"I have reviewed all the core data and logical chains in these three project proposals word by word. The publicity and distribution channels are mature and the schedule is clear. The core creative team is recognized in the industry as a guarantee of box office and viewership. The popular novel IP is highly consistent with the current mainstream pain points in the market. The user profile is accurate and the return on investment can withstand scrutiny."
"From a professional perspective, the risks are manageable and the returns are promising—you can invest without hesitation!"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the smooth mahogany table surface:
"Judging from your confident tone... the company's elite team is all set, all that's missing is my signature and seal?"
"Of course!"
When Miao Zi mentioned work progress and the team's condition, her eyes instantly lit up with a radiant glow:
"The department managers, especially the film and television investment department led by Manager Gu Yuejia, have been itching to get started! They have absolute confidence in the feasibility plan they've painstakingly prepared, and these past few days they've been rubbing their hands together like hungry wolves eyeing their prey, just waiting for your order, Boss, so they can roll up their sleeves and get to work! But..."
As she continued, Miao Zi abruptly stopped, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashing across her beautiful face. Her red lips pursed slightly, as if she were somewhat embarrassed to continue.
A knowing glint and amusement flashed in Ye Fan's eyes as he deliberately teased her:
"Just what? Why did you swallow your words halfway through? This isn't like our decisive Secretary Miao."
Miao Zi gave him a somewhat resentful look, gently biting her delicate lower lip, her voice lowering, carrying a hint of indescribable grievance:
"It's just that someone's been incredibly busy lately. He just stirred up a storm in Jiangning Pharmaceutical's stock market, making a killing, and then he's been busy spending time with other girls, going on romantic dates..."
She slightly turned her head away, her tone sarcastic:
"My manager keeps asking me in various ways when my boss can come to his company... I'm almost at my wit's end trying to find an excuse for you!"
Hearing the strong hint of jealousy emanating from those words, Ye Fan could no longer hide his smile, which almost stretched to his ears.
He pulled her closer to him with a forceful movement, lowered his head to her flushed earlobe, and teased her in a deep, magnetic voice:
"Tsk tsk! Why does my secretary Miao's tone sound so sour? Could it be that she's spilled a jar of vinegar?"
"No way! How could that be!" Miao Zi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and shaking her head repeatedly in denial.
However, her shifty eyes, which dared not meet Ye Fan's gaze, and her obviously weak and trembling tone, had already betrayed the bitterness churning inside her.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Ye Fan's heart softened. He smiled and affectionately pinched the tip of her pert nose with his fingertips, ceasing his teasing. He then offered her a way out and decisively made the decision:
"Alright, business comes first. Go and notify all department managers that everyone will gather in the main conference room in ten minutes. We need to finalize all these projects today!"
"Okay, I understand." Miao Zi replied with a sigh of relief and quickly got up from his lap.
She took a deep breath and neatly straightened the slightly wrinkled hem and collar of her suit skirt.
As the crisp, steady, and rhythmic sound of her high heels rang out, her aura instantly shifted.
She transformed back into the commanding, unapproachable chief secretary, swaying gracefully and powerfully as she pushed open the office door and stepped out.
As the office door closed silently and slowly, Ye Fan let out a long sigh of relief. His deep gaze passed over the huge floor-to-ceiling window and fell upon the rolling clouds outside, which seemed almost within reach.
The skyline of Nanjing, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, resembled a layer of flowing gold leaf.
Previously, he joined forces with Fang Yu, Qin Kun and other top second-generation elites in Jinling, investing a total of one billion yuan in the early stages under the guise of laying out the future of live-streaming e-commerce and traffic ecosystem.
This massive cash flow, enough to suffocate any startup, is now mostly sitting like a sleeping dragon in Minglu Culture's corporate account.
This has given the newly established entertainment company such abundant funds that it makes all its competitors green with envy!
Holding a billion dollars, one can stand very tall and have considerable influence.
Previously, I was too busy to attend to these projects, but now that the overall situation at Jiangning Pharmaceutical is settled, I have more time to spare...
It's indeed time to use our financial power and our ability to foresee future trends to carve out an unshakeable niche for Minglu Culture in the fiercely competitive film and entertainment market in mainland China!
......
Ten minutes later, inside the meeting room.
The spacious conference table, covered with top-quality soundproofing materials, was already packed with people.
Vice President Tang Huai'an, Film and Television Investment Department Manager Gu Yuejia, and the heads of core departments such as the Artist Department, Publicity and Distribution Department, and Content Production Department all sat upright with their backs straight.
An invisible tension, a mixture of anticipation, nervousness, and subtle excitement, permeated the air, like a taut bowstring, waiting for the command.
As the heavy solid wood doors of the conference room were silently pushed open, Ye Fan strode in with steady steps and an imposing presence.
Miao Zi, carrying a stack of crucial documents, followed closely behind with a cold and aloof expression, her eyes fixed straight ahead on her signature high heels.
Ye Fan took his seat in the main seat, casually placing his hands on the smooth table, his deep, unfathomable gaze slowly sweeping across the room.
An invisible pressure instantly spread out!
The faint sounds of conversation, rustling of papers, and even breathing that had filled the conference room were completely silenced at that moment, plunging it into an absolute stillness so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point and not beat around the bush."
Ye Fan leaned back slightly, settling into the wide leather chair, a faint, yet unsettling smile playing on his lips.
"General Manager Miao should have already given you a heads-up. You all probably know the purpose of gathering all of you core members here today, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vice President Tang Huai'an straightened his back as if he had received an order.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and carefully put on just the right amount of respect before speaking:
"President Ye, President Miao did indeed hint at something. Is our company truly preparing to officially declare war this time?"
As a seasoned veteran of the business world, Tang Huai'an had almost blind faith in Ye Fan's unfathomable wealth and his impending ruthless methods.
However, as the person in charge of the company's daily operations, due to workplace conventions and procedures, he must play the role of the "tone setter" who throws out the first ideas.
"That's right." Ye Fan tapped his fingertips lightly on the smooth tabletop, his voice low but carrying an undeniable, resolute tone: "The time has come to make a big splash!"
These two simple words, however, were like two scorching bullets, precisely piercing the long-suppressed tranquility of the conference room!
