Chapter 187 She Doesn't Want to Be the Damned Sugar Daddy Mom Netizens Are Talking About

Ling Yue's mind had a mind of its own.

A fantasy romance promotional video?

Tsk tsk, promotions are getting more and more advanced these days.

Should I get Shen Qingxue to film it?

Her kissing scenes were truly impressive.

Young girls love watching them.

Forget it, better not give special treatment; the production crew is set, so they will definitely choose the actors.

Even though she was the boss, she still had to eliminate the idea of stuffing people into the production crew.

Once some things are done, there's always a second time.

She didn't want to be the despicable sugar mommy that netizens talked about.

The scene was deathly silent.

No one dared to make a sound.

The harmonious meeting atmosphere suddenly turned stern.

What should they do?

Zeng Ru couldn't stand this atmosphere.

Just as she was about to say a few words, she saw Ling Yue unscrew a bottle of mineral water on the table and take a sip.

Afterward, she looked around with a puzzled expression, "Why is everyone looking at me? Are you finished?"

The person in charge was momentarily speechless. So, was the boss just daydreaming just now?

"We're finished." What else could he do? He answered with a smile, of course.

Ling Yue set down the water bottle. "I won't read the script; you guys decide on that. I only have one request: don't make the product placement so obvious. Make it more natural."

This was a very reasonable request, and the person in charge stated that someone would be arranged to supervise the entire process.

Finally, there was the Northwest New Port Technology Park project. That area was mainly the responsibility of the Kan Family, and the Company had sent someone from the investment team to track the progress. The news sent back said that things were proceeding smoothly.

With that, all projects had been reported.

Aside from the money already invested showing no signs of returning yet, there were no other issues.

Ling Yue dismissed them to get back to work.

The massive meeting room emptied by half instantly, and her field of vision opened up.

Following that, Ling Yue was introduced to and got to know the Company's internal management team, including a series of high-level executives such as the Executive Director and Account Director.

Once that was done, they didn't stay long due to their busy workloads.

Four investment management teams remained in the meeting room.

Among them, three teams had no projects on hand.

Ling Yue looked at them. "Do you know about the Global Entrepreneurs Summit in October?"

Half of the fifteen people across the three teams nodded.

That made things easier.

Ling Yue had already made arrangements for them.

"The summit hasn't started yet. I want your three teams to reach out to companies or teams participating in the summit ahead of time to search for feasible projects.

My requirement is to look at the project's prospects first, then the entrepreneur's ability and character, and then the team's situation—whether there are disagreements, internal conflicts, and so on.

Money is the last thing to consider. Don't limit yourselves to contacting only three projects; as long as a project meets my requirements, you can reach out and try."

They had been at the Company for several days now.

Finally, they were assigned work.

The leaders of the three teams finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Many companies or groups would reach out to potential teams before the summit began.

Good projects never lacked investors, and everyone competed for them based on their own abilities.

In the end, only the Trillion Film and Television Investment Management Team, led by Zeng Ru, remained in the meeting room.

"President Ling, shall I start the report now?" Zeng Ru said, taking her laptop and preparing to go up to the stage.

Ling Yue raised her hand to stop her. "Wait a moment, someone else is coming."

Someone else?

Who?

Zeng Ru felt curious, her eyes unable to stop glancing toward the door.

After a short while, she saw Qian Xu leading a strange team of ten people into the meeting room.

At the head was a middle-aged man with an imposing aura as he walked.

"President Ling, hello. I've finally met you in person; you truly are young and promising." The middle-aged man walked straight to the middle of the meeting room and extended his hand toward Ling Yue across the table.

Ling Yue shook his hand and let go immediately.

"Director Jin looks much handsomer than in the videos. You don't look fifty-six at all; you look forty-six." Ling Yue wasn't just boasting.

Director Jin Ming must have been managing his physique; in the heat of summer, wearing short sleeves, the well-defined muscles on his arms were very firm.

Zeng Ru finally remembered who the person before her was.

Jin Ming, a director focused on plot content, had filmed romance dramas, spy dramas, and historical dramas. In his thirty years in the industry, he had at least four nationally renowned representative works.

He himself was extremely talented and full of ideas, but as the times changed, he was ultimately too stubborn and didn't know how to adapt.

There had been news before about him getting into a fistfight with a producer on set due to a disagreement; the result was obvious—as the director, he was immediately replaced.

Because he was 'disobedient' and had many rules, fewer and fewer investors or companies had looked for him to film in recent years.

Coincidentally, the drama where Jin Ming fought the producer happened to be a project invested in by Zeng Ru's previous Company. She had been on-site at the time as a project intern and witnessed the whole process with her own eyes.

How should she put it?

From the producer's standpoint: I've put up the money, so I have the final say on how to film. I want to use traffic stars because they can exploit their fans for quick returns.

From the director's standpoint: The plot is more important than the actors. 'Vases' with only beauty and no acting skills waste most of the funds, leaving even the special effects budget tight. Not only do they fail to produce results, but the broadcast ruins one's own reputation.

Both sides held their ground, neither willing to yield.

In a fit of agitation, the producer pushed Jin Ming, and then they started brawling.

As for who was right or wrong, it simply depended on whose perspective you took.

"President Zeng, this is Director Jin Ming. He's a partner for my newly established film Company," Ling Yue introduced to Zeng Ru.

Zeng Ru was shocked for a moment.

A film Company had been established so quickly!

She hadn't heard even the slightest word of it.

No wonder Qian Xu was always away from the Company lately and very busy; he must have been preparing for the new Company's affairs.

But it was normal.

The Company was currently under her management, and it would be responsible for investing in film companies later on.

If the film Company also let her participate in recruiting partners, there would be suspicion of 'clique-forming' in the future.

Not interfering was actually for the best.

Zeng Ru pretended not to know Jin Ming and introduced herself to him again.

In any case, she was still an intern back then; it was impossible for Jin Ming to still remember her.
