After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Chang Hong left first after saying this.

The conference room fell silent again.

Lu Ranran did not open the folder provided by Chang Hong, but turned her chair and faced Shen Xiling.

"She's done talking, isn't it your turn?"

"Why do you want me to take on the cooperation with South City Media?"

“It shouldn’t be as simple as just investing, right?”

That night, Shen Xiling simply stated Chang Hong's request.

He just mentioned briefly about Shen Construction's sudden investment in the entertainment sector.

Shen Xiling did not hide anything.

He smiled frankly, his tone full of confidence.

“I want to be a streaming platform.”

“That is, a video website.”

Lu Ranran was briefly surprised.

Then all the details are connected together.

She put her hand on her chin and thought, then said slowly:

"If Shen's Construction wants to get involved in a new field, the most convenient and quickest way is to first acquire a mature enterprise."

"You've got your eyes on South City Media?"

"You said you wanted to invest. Is that one of your methods?"

Shen Xiling shook his head.

“That’s how it was at first.”

"But after Chang Hong came to me, I felt that I could use more direct means."

Initially, Shen Xiling planned to set up a new entertainment company and start small.

At least with the Shen family's strong financial backing, they wouldn't be overwhelmed by Nancheng Media.

But Shen Beiyu's failure and the Nancheng Media incident made him discover another way.

If we can control Nancheng Media, we can make use of its influence and industry experience accumulated over many years.

If we push this project forward within the group, will there be less resistance?

But there is a big mountain across this road.

That is Chu Yue.

Chu Yue was able to develop the small Nancheng Media to its current scale, and her ability in communication cannot be underestimated.

Xiang Qian's existence also shows that Nancheng Media is full of corruption.

If you invest directly, you will definitely encounter considerable resistance.

Shen Beiyu invested money, but ended up indirectly "forcing" Lu Ranran to help Lu Keke.

This is also a problem that Shen Xiling has to consider.

But after Chang Hong came to the door, everything seemed to be solved.

Lu Ranran made two "tsk tsk" sounds, leaned back in her chair, and glanced at Shen Xiling.

"What a great capitalist."

"Am I also included in your calculations?"

Although the words were sharp, Lu Ranran's tone was not very angry.

She knew in her heart that in order to accomplish something, the quality of the person who accomplishes it is naturally important.

But what is more important is timing and opportunity.

Shen Xiling was not embarrassed by this "teasing", but explained seriously:

"I admit that I do have a selfish motive in this plan."

"Because of my grandmother and mother, I have seen too many people in this industry who are not appreciated for their talents and are born at the wrong time."

"It's no exaggeration to say that Shen's can indeed provide a lot of aid funds."

“But nothing is more effective than creating an environment that creates a virtuous cycle.”

Lu Ranran tilted her head and blinked playfully.

"what about me?"

“What role am I in your script?”

Shen Xiling curled up the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Hmm...let me think about it."

"The president of a real estate group publicly expressed his love for his wife and bravely ventured into a new track for her."

"How about it?"

Lu Ranran was speechless.

Seeing that Lu Ranran looked really angry, Shen Xiling stopped joking and said seriously:

"I believe you can definitely make a name for yourself in the screenwriting world."

"When you have a work, I will use your name to promote it."

"You know, in a large group like Shen's, the directors might mind an aggressive president."

"But I wouldn't mind a dandy who's blinded by love."

The interests within large groups are entangled and complex.

After a long period of operation, the group has also formed a fixed style and logic of doing things.

Everyone has a tacit understanding of what can be done and who can do it, and the boundaries of each person's power.

This kind of "laziness" regards its own reform as a scourge.

But they will at least be more tolerant of new areas that do not involve fixed interests.

After a while, Lu Ranran finally reacted.

Shen Xiling might be implying Shen Beiyu.

A dandy young master who was infatuated with Lu Keke.

However, Shen Xiling has a bright and sunny appearance, making it difficult for people to associate him with those dirty things.

Having said that, everything that needs to be said has been said.

The game is set.

It depends on whether the players around you are willing to join the game.

Shen Xiling said:

"You don't have to worry too much."

“It’s still at the discussion stage.”

"If you don't want to, I believe Chang Hong will find a suitable script."

What is this called, retreat in order to advance?

What a cunning capitalist!

In Lu Ranran's eyes, Shen Xiling was elegant and easy-going, and his voice was gentle and persuasive without any uncomfortable sense of oppression.

But she just knew that beneath Shen Xiling's gentle face, there were complicated thoughts.

But she wasn't afraid.

Pragmatist Lu Ranran believes that human heart is like an abyss.

But sometimes, you can choose to keep things simple.

The secret is to stop trying to read others and just listen to your own heart.

Here, when facing Shen Xiling.

Perhaps this kind of practicality brings more trust.

"I have one more question."

Shen Xiling raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What are you going to do with those screenwriters under Wu Zhi?"

"Shen's investment is in Nancheng Media, not Chang Hong alone."

Naturally, Shen Construction’s investment will not specify any particular producer.

But it can influence script preferences to some extent.

This approach of casting a wide net can be considered a smokescreen before Chang Hong is able to bring Chu Yue down.

"Okay." Lu Ranran opened the folder given by Chang Hong.

"Let me see what she gave me first."

"If it's really as she said, it's not impossible to consider it."

Shen Xiling stood up and walked to Lu Ranran.

With a flick of his slender fingers, the folder that had just been opened closed again.

"It's almost time for dinner."

“No matter how cunning a capitalist is, he will not deny his employees food.”

"after all--"

Shen Xiling deliberately lengthened his tone, and his curved phoenix eyes made people think of a cunning fox.

"Only when you are full can you have the energy to work."

"This intensity of work..." Lu Ranran closed the folder and looked back into Shen Xiling's eyes.

"It's going to take tens of thousands of dollars per person to get good food, right?"

He is addicted to playing the role of a capitalist.

Then of course she, Lu Ranran, would wait for the right price and make a good profit.

Nowadays, there are few opportunities for capitalists to bleed heavily.

Shen Xiling nodded obediently, his eyes full of sincerity and his thin lips slightly opened.

"of course."
