Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately waved his hand and said earnestly, "Manager Chen, your idea is problematic. Our Company is currently dominated by women, and that's excellent. It not only prevents office romance but also avoids gender conflict, improving work efficiency. Plus, we save a lot on air conditioning costs in the summer. So listen to me: from now on, only hire female employees. I will personally inform the Human Resources Department later."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Chen Xueer couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "Chairman Jiang, did you call me over today for any special instructions or arrangements?"
As Chen Xueer spoke, she conveniently picked up the stack of investment proposals Jiang Cheng had placed on the desk and began flipping through them.
The first one she opened was *legend of fuyao*, starring Yang Mi.
Next, she continued flipping, only to find that the second one was *One Thousand and One Nights*, starring Reba.
Seeing this, Chen Xueer couldn't help but let the corner of her mouth curl up slightly, asking with a half-smile, "Oh, aren't these the projects Yu Xiaoxiao is responsible for following up on? Why did you send them to me? Is there something urgent?"
"Mm, I just went to her office and took a look. I selected these four. I think these four are excellent. Contact them and see if our Starry Sky can secure a high investment stake."
Chen Xueer nodded upon hearing this, then opened the investment documents for *legend of fuyao* and began reading them carefully.
"'legend of fuyao.' The directors are Yang Wenjun, Xie Ze, and Li Cai—three of them? They actually used so many directors? The target investment amount for the project is as high as 500 million yuan? Investing 500 million in a TV series, that's a massive production," Chen Xueer muttered to herself while looking at the documents.
She continued flipping through the documents and said, "Based on the information written here, Penguin Pictures has confirmed they will invest 100 million yuan in this drama, as the show will premiere exclusively on their platform. Yang Mi herself, as before, will have her Company invest 40 million yuan for a stake, plus she will personally invest her 30 million yuan salary for a stake, totaling over 70 million yuan. Now there is still a stake of over 300 million yuan remaining, but this is only tentative; it doesn't rule out the possibility of those two companies making additional investments later."
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly in agreement. "Yang Mi will possess extremely high commercial value within the next two years. Our Starry Sky has not yet achieved remarkable success in the field of film and television investment; currently, only the web drama we previously invested in for Su Wan has achieved minor success. Therefore, you must secure these four projects for me."
It wasn't about the money; it was just that since he had started a Company, he had to make sure it succeeded.
Only when his career was strong would his social status naturally follow and rise.
After being baptized by a hit drama like *Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms*, the money-making ability of Yang Mi and Reba is astonishing.
As the hottest film and television blockbuster of the year, it not only helped Yang Mi ascend to the throne of the Four Dan Actresses but also caused the fame and value of many artists under Company Media to soar.
Among them, Reba benefited the most, successfully shedding the constraint of being a second female lead with this drama, instantly becoming a hot commodity and beginning to carry the banner of the traffic-generating female protagonist.
Although the drama received mixed reviews, its online viewership was astonishing, accumulating over ten billion views.
Such high viewing popularity made countless investors rich, beaming with joy.
"Are there any additional conditions for our investment funds? For example, arranging for actresses under our Company to participate in the show?" Chen Xueer asked straightforwardly.
After careful consideration of the four dramas, Jiang Cheng shook his head decisively.
"Although the drama *legend of fuyao* is certain to be a huge success, Yang Mi is currently at the peak of her career and riding a wave of popularity. Even if Su Wan's looks are in no way inferior to Yang Mi's, we must understand that the internet is a place of conflict, and fans are often unreasonable. If the filming of her scenes is slightly careless, it could attract a wave of criticism. Rather than doing that, it's better to steadily follow the development path the Company has carefully planned for her. Why act as someone else's foil?"
As for *One Thousand and One Nights*, starring Dilireba, even less needs to be said. The key to that drama's success lies in the outstanding performance of the male and female leads; others shouldn't try to join the fun.
However, regarding the other two movie projects, we could consider having Su Wan co-star with Shen Teng in *Hello Mr. Billionaire*, but the specific situation still requires further observation and evaluation.
"Just invest first. I will have Yu Xiaoxiao discuss the rest with them later."
Seeing Jiang Cheng so enthusiastic about these dramas, Chen Xueer couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and tease, "Chairman Jiang, I didn't see you put this much effort into the Panda investment last time. Could it be that you want to use the title of investor to admire Yang Mi and Reba up close?"
Jiang Cheng asked back with an innocent expression, "Why would I want to look at them?"
Chen Xueer blinked and smiled suggestively, "Isn't it because she's called Big Honey? I've heard that many investors are particularly interested in her."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, then his gaze fell directly onto Chen Xueer's chest: "It is quite big, indeed."
Chen Xueer noticed his gaze, gave him a gentle, annoyed glare, but continued to tease, "It's rumored that Big Honey is the *really* big one~"
Jiang Cheng paused for a few seconds to think, but his eyes still hadn't left Chen Xueer. He then nodded in agreement: "Hmm, you're right. Looking closely, it should be bigger than yours..."
Chen Xueer glared at Jiang Cheng exasperatedly: "Fine, fine, I'm small, right? Chairman Jiang, have you looked enough??"
Jiang Cheng, showing no remorse whatsoever, simply shook his head and sighed, "Perhaps it's because I'm getting old; I habitually stare blankly at one spot. Maybe this is the cost of maturity."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's absurd words, Chen Xueer retorted without thinking: "Hmph, I don't believe a word you say, scum..."
After being exposed by Chen Xueer, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he openly admitted, "Hey, hey, hey, you can hit me, but don't say bad things! I truly have no interest in Yang Mi, but Reba, now she's quite nice. Next time I have the chance, I must take a good, close look."
In Jiang Cheng's memory, Dilireba during the stage of *Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms* was still in a very cute and lively period.
After all, her age was clearly an advantage, full of youthful vitality.
Therefore, if he truly had an idea, he had to strike while the iron was hot.
After all, people from high latitudes don't resist aging well.
Jiang Cheng secretly mused that if this investment succeeded, he could drop by the set whenever he had time, ostensibly to supervise the filming progress, but most importantly, to admire Reba's stunning beauty up close.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's grinning face, Chen Xueer couldn't help but let out a soft huff, inwardly cursing Jiang Cheng again.
"I fear another young girl is about to suffer. The evil capitalist! scumbag!"
After leaving Chen Xueer's office, Jiang Cheng walked with light steps toward Zhao Linger's office.
After all, he had already mentioned earlier that he would 'get a hole' for her, and Jiang Cheng was certainly happy to do such a simple favor.
