"Acquisition?"

"What does that mean?"

"Did Chen Yan acquire this company?"

Upon Yang Rou's reminder, Yang Nuannuan guessed a bit of the truth, but still felt unable to comprehend it.

Acquiring a company allowed them to get involved in distribution?

If it were that easy, wouldn't there be distribution companies everywhere in the industry?

Her mother couldn't possibly have overlooked this, so why wasn't she worried at all?

And just when Yang Nuannuan was utterly puzzled.

In the front row, Yang Rou glanced at Chen Yan and then asked coldly, "Is it Song Chuang, or Yan Minfei?"

Chen Yan responded with an "Ah?" and almost didn't catch on.

He looked at Yang Rou.

Yang Rou's gaze met his coldly.

Chen Yan slowly savored the idea...

He whispered, "Song Chuang."

Yang Rou nodded slightly, "President Song is a tough person; it looks like our movie won't have any problems now."

Seeing that Yang Rou had really guessed the person, Chen Yan asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Yang Rou said indifferently, "In the circle, there are only two people who fit your criteria, and both are idling at home."

Chen Yan: ...

What exactly was his image in Yang Rou's mind?

Chen Yan inexplicably felt a bit dazed.

Why did it seem like she had too much confidence in him?

Was it the aftereffect of the list he gave her before, which left her impressed?

Or was it... because he had been driving the "Shining Firefly" around recently, making her think he was glowing and omnipotent?

Chen Yan was a bit baffled.

While Chen Yan was confused, suddenly, the office door was knocked on "thud thud thud."

Everyone couldn't help looking toward the office door: all the company people were there, so they were curious about who was coming.

Only Chen Yan and Yang Rou knew who it was.

Chen Yan cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

A moment later, the office door swung open, and Song Chuang walked in with a brisk stride.

The gaze of the company employees followed him.

Entering the meeting room, Song Chuang greeted Chen Yan with a smile, "President Chen. I've arrived."

Chen Yan stood up and went to meet him.

Approaching Song Chuang, Chen Yan patted his shoulder, saying, "You've worked hard."

After that, Chen Yan instructed the administration, "Get President Song a chair. Um... add it next to mine."

The administration responded bewilderedly, hurriedly moving a chair.

While the meeting room looked on at this scene, they were also a bit dazed.

They whispered amongst themselves,

"Who is this?"

"Don't know. It seems President Chen values him quite a bit."

"Yeah. But look, this man's demeanor is extraordinary. Could he be the boss of some film company?"

As everyone was quietly discussing, suddenly, someone slapped their forehead, exclaiming, "I remember! It's Song Chuang! Song Chuang!"

The others, "Song Chuang?"

"Song Chuang? Song...Song Chuang?! Can't be that Song Chuang, right?!"

The senior executives of the company had recognized Song Chuang as soon as he entered the office.

For a moment, they looked at Yang Rou in surprise.

But Yang Rou sat there, as calm as ever, still focused on revising the plan.

Soon, with an explanation from those who knew Song Chuang, most of the company was aware of his identity.

One of the industry's big shots. Former president of Wanwei Film and Quanmei Film. The influential figure who built up both film companies.

He had been deeply rooted in the industry for over a decade and was one of the top figures.

After learning the identity of Song Chuang, everyone was curious about what he was doing in their company.

Could it be...

They couldn't help looking toward Yang Rou, sitting at Chen Yan's left hand...

Chen Yan didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and after the administration brought over a chair, he pulled Song Chuang to the front of the meeting room, introducing him, "This is President Song Chuang. I believe everyone should recognize him. A famous figure in the industry."

"Some time ago, he resigned. We hit it off well, so we planned to work on some things together."

"So, a while ago we acquired Tiandu Distribution Company and started distributing our own movies."

"Under President Song's efforts, our movie's distribution plan has been settled with the cinemas, and various online platforms as well."

"Next, let President Song introduce the details of the distribution to everyone."

Chen Yan's words were like dropping one bombshell after another in front of everyone.

'That Tiandu Distribution Company, was it just a shell company? But it had been acquired by President Chen's team?'

'This industry big shot has defected to President Chen, and then used this company for distribution work?'

'Now not only is the distribution agreement in place, but even the cinema distribution plan has been set?'

All listened to Chen Yan's words, feeling faint and dizzied. For a moment, they couldn't react. They utterly failed to understand why things had taken a complete 180-degree turn.

Then, they had to brace themselves for more explosive news.

Over forty percent of screenings on the release date.

A forty-million-dollar investment in distribution, promotion, and marketing.

Joint promotional efforts by major cinemas and platforms.

Watching these detailed distribution plans, the people inside the company felt as though this wasn't the release of a low-budget chick flick but... the release of some Hollywood action movie.

Isn't this a bit exaggerated...

With such resources poured in, it feels like the cost just doubled. Can they really earn it back?

After a meeting, when everyone finally dispersed, they all felt their brains could no longer carry more information. They just wanted to find a quiet place to process what had happened in the last fifteen minutes.

How had their President Chen turned the tide in just the last fifteen minutes?

And what impact would the addition of this industry mogul have on the company?

Was their company about to prosper?

Everyone analyzed this.

While Chen Yan's company was still dumbfounded, the news of Song Chuang joining Chen Yan's group to handle distribution had already spread like wildfire.

There are no secrets in showbiz. The moment Song Chuang proudly headed to Qin Island, many deliberately hidden pieces of news also started to surface.

After resigning, Song Chuang had privately met with Chen Yan, coming to an understanding?

He quietly bought a distribution company, specifically for Chenlu Film?

He had settled distribution agreements with cinemas and platforms, preparing to invest heavily to distribute the first movie of Chenlu Film?

One stone causes a thousand ripples!

In Tiandu, Xu Zhaoqing from Xu Brothers Film Company was stunned in his office chair unable to speak for a full five minutes after hearing the news!

And Director Zhang, who had started preparations for a new movie, was also frozen in place for a long time without coming back to his senses.

Compared to Yang Rou, Song Chuang's status and rank were even higher, so his joining was like a bomb, leaving both of them blank.

Especially when they thought about the combination of Song Chuang and Yang Rou, they couldn't help but gasp.

This...

How did it end up like this?

And at this moment, when tumult stirred both inside and outside the company, Chen Yan, Yang Rou, and Song Chuang left the company and went to a cafe to chat.

The purpose of the chat was to let both parties get acquainted and avoid misunderstandings.

The outcome was much better than Chen Yan had anticipated.

Perhaps Song Chuang truly thought "make a fortune and get out," not pursuing too much power in the company. So even though Yang Rou made it clear from the beginning that she respected elder Song Chuang but would compete fairly to become the future head of the film division, he didn't get angry at all.

Instead, he laughed heartily, praising Yang Rou as a notable strong woman in the circle.

After chatting, Chen Yan played host and invited them both to dinner.

While they were dining, Yang Nuannuan had finished work, silently returning home with documents and books.

Today Yang Rou was out having dinner with Chen Yan and Song Chuang, and home was empty except for her.

After getting home, Yang Nuannuan had no appetite to eat; she sat at the dining table, placed the documents down, then began to question life.

Was her mother right after all?

In the end, had Chen Yan stepped up and solved everything...

How did he manage that?

Having lived in an ivory tower her whole life, Yang Nuannuan's understanding of society was not deep. Especially as a top student and having a strong-willed mother as her benchmark, she had thought society was simple and that she could easily solve any problem after setting out on her own, just like her mother.

But the first job at the company stumped her.

Reflecting on all that had happened.

Her mother had been calm and confident from the beginning to the end. Compared with her own impetuousness, she appeared far too immature.

And even more fearsome was Chen Yan...

He was like an iceberg, whose tip made him seem quite simple.

But a closer look revealed his unfathomable depths.

Everything was easy in his hands.

Everything was skillfully strategized.

Thinking of this, Yang Nuannuan suddenly envisioned bunches of "green" things popping up in her mind.

Stocks...

That stock...

With this thought, Yang Nuannuan promptly picked up her phone, wanting to check on that stock.

Previously, she didn't believe Chen Yan was as masterfully strategic as her mother had claimed, but now she did.

So she couldn't help but want to know... how that stock Chen Yan had previously played was doing now...
