Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity-Chapter 631 - 332 Annual Meeting, Prospering Day by Day_2

Chapter 631: Chapter 332: Annual Meeting, Prospering Day by Day_2 Chapter 631 -332: Annual Meeting, Prospering Day by Day_2 In a few days, he would have to accompany Pei Muchan to Shanxi.

At first, they talked about driving there, but after some consideration, Pei Muchan cast her dissenting vote.

It would be better to just mail the gifts; flying there would be faster and less tiring.

In Shanxi, she had a car, and well…

what more could be said?

Noble families are just so opulent, owning all sorts of vehicle licenses.

But Xu Qingyan thought about it and realized it made sense.

...

Although the idea of driving her home sounded romantic, in reality, the majority of the time would be spent in dull driving.

By the time they reached Shanxi, he’d probably stink.

Xu Qingyan was a real tough cookie, compressing his time to the limit.

In these two days, he managed to force out the script for “Crazy Racing.” If death wasn’t on the table, go all out!

Even when he was in the Capital City or in Xinghai, after a night of intensive exercise that left him drenched in sweat, as long as he had the energy, he would definitely get up and do some work.

First, it was to create the persona of someone incredibly busy with work; second, there really wasn’t much time left.

Xu Qingyan went all in; he couldn’t find a breakthrough in his relationships.

That stuff was too metaphysical for him, and he wasn’t good at contriving certain things.

Unable to do such things, nor having the capacity, trying to be too clever could backfire and lead to losing even what one has got, ending up empty-handed as if fetching water with a bamboo basket.

So he simply shifted his strategy, looking for a breakthrough in his career.

Now, with Pei Muchan in Xinghai and himself in the Capital City, miles apart and out of each other’s sight, it actually gave Xu Qingyan a lot of room to maneuver.

What he was lacking was time.

He had to become a movie mogul in the limited time he had, starting with sitcoms and step by step, working his way up to the top.

Success in his career wouldn’t directly affect his relationships.

But it could influence everything outside of romance, enabling him to do many things that were otherwise impossible.

Simply put, if money can’t control love, then everything else outside of love—fame, status, resources—can be influenced by it.

Money isn’t everything; it can’t buy love, health, or time.

But nobody said that aside from those impossible things, in all other matters, money is omnipotent.

With the year drawing to a close, the company atmosphere was heating up.

The annual corporate event was held in advance at a four-star hotel, knowing that it was to accommodate the boss’s schedule, but it was better early than late.

There was money to be won at the annual event, and several people who were thinking of running away planned to take their year-end bonus and bolt, without even waiting for their salaries.

Zhou Mian greeted Xu Qingyan at the entrance and casually mentioned the situation of those employees.

“Those few have been working for over half a year, now they’re hinting at resignation, should we give out the year-end bonus?

Or delay it for a few months, wait until after we’re busy next year to let them go?”

“Give it out, why not?” Xu Qingyan didn’t hesitate, walking up the steps as he said, “The year-end bonus is what they should receive for a year’s hard work.

As for the resignation…”

“Let’s respect their choices.

Later if they want to come back, we can be more selective.”

Zhou Mian understood his meaning—if it’s a mid-year resignation, it’s understandable.

If they want to come back later, there’s the advantage of being a former colleague, which could skip some steps.

This batch would probably have to go through the normal process, and even more strictly so; they’d likely have no chance of returning.

“I don’t get it, Sky Light is clearly on an uphill path, why would they think of leaving?” Zhou Mian couldn’t help but complain, “Isn’t that foolish?”

“Don’t guess their reasons, people have their own aspirations, or perhaps they’ve been offered a high price by others,” Xu Qingyan glanced at him, straightening his clothes, “It’s not like we don’t have competitors, there will be even more in the future.”

Hearing this, Zhou Mian felt a heavy pressure and hesitated with furrowed brows.

“Brother Xu, why don’t you hire a professional senior manager to be the general manager?”

Xu Qingyan turned around, puzzled, “You don’t want to do it anymore?”

“No, no!

How could that be, I’m not a fool,” Zhou Mian scratched his head, also feeling somewhat relieved inside.

Sometimes, choice truly is more important than effort.

“I might…

might not be able to keep up with the company’s development.

If I screw up the company, I feel like I’m letting you down, Brother Xu.

I’ll be fine with a smaller management role.”

Xu Qingyan looked at him for a few moments, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“I thought you were going to throw everything away for love again, what a big deal, you even messed up the company?

It takes professional senior management to have the ability to mess up a company.”

He said, patting Zhou Mian heavily on the shoulder.

“Work hard, your quick tinkering won’t bring the company down!

Once the company grows bigger and stronger, we might recruit some managers, but that’s for later.”

“Right now, the company’s goal is to make films like a production line; rather than calling it a company, it’s more like a small factory…

a studio, and you’re the supervisor.”

“I’ll take the lead in conquering territories, and you just need to defend our home base.

There’s no need for you to aim for growth or strength; our company just needs to keep making money.”

“I have nothing much to say, as long as we’re profitable, you’ll definitely have your share of it, so just do your job well.”

Talking about this or that isn’t as good as mentioning a raise.

Zhou Mian was also somewhat excited, since a raise is uplifting.

Brotherhood is important, of course, but if you don’t share the wealth after earning big, that relationship definitely won’t last long.

It’s not that he was deliberately challenging the throne, but he genuinely feared disaster.

If the company developed at an incredible speed, it’s no longer the makeshift team that started making TV dramas with just a certificate and a few million; the film makes millions in a week.

It’s estimated that it could be profiting tens of millions in a month.

The original grand ambition and enthusiasm have now turned into heavy responsibilities.

If the company were to be ruined under his watch, Zhou Mian really wouldn’t be able to get over it for the rest of his life.

“Thank you, Brother Xu, I’ll work hard.”

“Mm, let’s go in now,” Xu Qingyan’s demeanor was much calmer.

At the hotel entrance, several people looking like managers stood waiting.

They smiled and approached Xu Qingyan and Zhou Mian, enthusiastically leading the way.

Behind, Zhou Mian felt an unreal sensation, as if walking on clouds.

It wasn’t his first time at a four-star hotel, but he was never the main event.

He was just following a big crew, scavenging for red packets from wrap parties, and eating leftovers.

Now, he and Xu Qingyan were surrounded and treated like the center of the universe, just because he is the General Manager of Sky Light Film and Television.

The moment they entered, seventy-eight employees stood up.

The number was about one-seventh of a listed company, but it was also a lot, all capable people in the industry.

At the front table sat the “Crazy Stone” project team, where they made more money in a week than an entire sitcom.

This also meant they’d have a bigger bonus this year, followed by the “Love Apartment” and “Home with Kids” project teams.

They bear the responsibility of making the sequel, and until these series are concluded, they most likely cannot leave.

Meanwhile, the employees from “The Legend of Martial Arts” and Underground Transit Station projects,

As their projects were completed early and would not have a sequel, were reassigned to the movie groups.

Now, some of them were sitting at the highest tables,

Enjoying the envious gazes of those around them, their lips curving up unconsciously.

As for those who mentioned quitting, it included a few people from the “Home with Kids” and “Love Apartment” projects.

They probably saw the future prospects and did not wish to stick around.

If movies are profitable and sitcom projects aren’t, staying is meaningless.

If the movies flop, sitcoms won’t earn much either, and that’s even less interesting.

Since they couldn’t transfer to making movies, the company’s future strategy would definitely be inclined towards films.

After all, that’s where the bigger money is at.

But without being able to leave, they won’t earn that money.

You could say they are both clever and not cleaver.

They see the upcoming trend for a period of time but fail to perceive the rise of Sky Light at this moment, not knowing Xu Qingyan won’t lose.

Similarly, those who stay in the sitcom project groups aren’t necessarily visionaries either.

Perhaps they’re after stability, or perhaps they don’t bother to switch jobs, or maybe they’re just short on cash.

For Xu Qingyan, none of this matters.

Sky Light Film and Television is making money every minute, and in the future, every minute will bring in even more money.

By comparison, people are both the most expensive and the cheapest.

If you can do the job, work and get paid; if not, leave.

Capable people will fill in, and payment, nothing but payment, will follow.

There’s no need for cleverness or scheming.

If you can do the job, step up!

Aim for continuous growth and success!
