Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

However, it is still unclear how developed the catering industry has become here.

hum-

A phone call came in, and the phone started vibrating incessantly. Jiang Zhuhua glanced at the name; it read "Entertainment King's Assistant."

"Boss, Director Zhang Wuling wants to meet with you. He says he wants to discuss investment."

Assistant Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the call connect.

"Was this arranged in advance, or was it a last-minute meeting?"

Jiang Zhuhua was completely unfamiliar with the name. He pulled out his computer from the bedside table and typed in the name. He knew which Zhang it was, but he didn't know the other two characters. He could only search for "Director Zhang".

This person is quite famous; just searching for "Director Zhang in the entertainment industry" directly brings up his name.

"Boss, Director Zhang's situation is a bit special, which is why he's calling you in the middle of the night. One of the investors in his new movie wants to put his mistress in the film, but Director Zhang isn't happy about it, and the investor has run away. He wants us to take over. It sounds like Director Zhang's situation is quite urgent."

Assistant Wang was still working overtime at the company, struggling to keep up with the boss's schedule. The boss was rarely around, so Assistant Wang had to organize and send out all the important information himself.

The boss approves them just like he approves official documents.

"Is his sincerity enough?"

Because he wasn't very familiar with this circle, Jiang Zhuhua asked questions while checking his personal information.

Zhang Wuling, 27, worked as an assistant director on a film that received positive feedback. Later, as a director, his film won a Golden Award. This is now his third film in preparation.

This person seems to have never acted in a TV series; their profile only lists movies.

Jiang Zhuhua checked the award again; it was quite prestigious, not the highest award, but one of the top ones. It wasn't the kind of award you could get just by paying money.

"After deducting all costs, we offer a 30% net profit margin. We're not the only investor."

Zhang Wuling is considered a rising star, and Assistant Wang has high hopes for this young man.

His filmmaking perspective is quite unique; his films aren't the kind that are commonplace, nor are they so highbrow that they appeal to a select few.

Did he send a contract? Or did he say he'd discuss it in detail when we meet? Did he provide any proposals or anything like that?

Jiang Zhuhua found the director's resume to be excellent, suggesting he might be a very promising investment target. Therefore, he began to take him seriously.

"Yes. Director Zhang said he'd like to discuss it with you tomorrow to talk things over in detail."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Wang knew there was hope and immediately sent over the received contracts and other documents.

"Okay. See if that person is free tomorrow at noon? If they are, book a hotel for them, and we can discuss the details then."

Jiang Zhuhua was still going through all sorts of information about that person, as well as analyses of him and the film from various sources.

The deal was settled, and the director's film received quite high praise online.

Jiang Zhuhua simply grabbed a blanket and lay down in the living room. By then, Pei Hui had stopped watching TV and was playing with building blocks. Jiang Zhuhua turned on the TV to watch a movie. Pei Hui grabbed his small blanket and snuggled over.

It just squats in the corner, looking like a kitten or a small mushroom.

Jiang Zhuhua glanced at him but said nothing.

Adults can lie down and watch TV however they feel comfortable, but children need to take better care of their eyes.

It's a story of the martial arts world, about a tiny, insignificant figure in a vast country, forced by various forces to deliver a token.

A small person is pushed and shoved forward by various forces. All he wants is to protect his small home.

She would smile, act silly, and make all sorts of jokes in front of people, making everyone laugh.

But in the end, he couldn't laugh. The motivation that led him to set out had vanished when he looked back; the people he wanted to protect were being destroyed by an unseen hand.

His life was like this, being pushed along until he looked back and found there was nothing left.

He was a very small figure, insignificant enough to cause any significant impact on history. Yet, everyone is pushed forward by others. Forced to strive for survival, they gradually forget their original aspirations.

It looks like a very funny movie, but its core is tragic.

Jiang Zhuhua's impression of the film was acceptable.

Then I watched another movie.

The other book tells a more epic and dramatic story.

It is the magnificent life of a great man, full of scheming and beautiful women, yet, across a vast land, he is utterly desolate.

At their core, both films revolve around the theme of loneliness. Whether adrift in a sea of ​​people or sitting alone in a high position, loneliness seems to be the guiding principle.

Jiang Zhuhua was lonely by nature, so he was even more sensitive to that kind of loneliness.

She suddenly began to look forward to meeting that person, because she had a feeling that the other person might also be lonely inside.

Jiang Zhuhua opened the contract and slowly began to read it. Pei Hui seemed to have something to ask, but seeing her mother working, she didn't ask and went to play with her building blocks. Even though she felt a little yawning, she decided to stay and keep her mother company since she hadn't gone to sleep yet.

That person was probably in a real hurry, offering a considerable profit, more than any director they had ever invested in before.

However, this person specifically emphasized one point: no one could include their own people in his films, and no one could force their way in. Jiang Zhuhua had no objection to this.

She wasn't familiar with the people under her command or the entire industry chain. If she rushed into it, it would only be a thankless task. It would be better to let the director improvise.

"It's almost ten o'clock. Pei Hui, it's time to go to sleep."

Jiang Zhuhua certainly had a lot to do, but looking at Pei Hui who had been watching over him, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

"Mom should go to sleep too."

Pei Hui put the building blocks aside and said this almost stubbornly.

"it is good."

Jiang Zhuhua didn't refuse, but simply made him a glass of milk. After watching him finish drinking it and rinsing his mouth, she took him back to his bedroom.

If I can't look at the contract outside, can't I at least look at it in the bedroom?

Jiang Zhuhua didn't know why, but being stared at by that child made him feel inexplicably guilty. He was probably afraid of being discovered for breaking his promise.

Assistant Wang had a professional conduct a risk assessment, and Jiang Zhuhua carefully reviewed the contract and learned about some of the more popular celebrities in the entertainment industry.

I also took a look at the profiles of the artists under my management.

I can't be ignorant about it; after all, it's my own company.

Once you have money, who will actually be willing to get up early in the morning to make breakfast?

Jiang Zhuhua set his alarm for 6:30, ordered takeout, slept until 7:00 to pick up the takeout, and then woke Pei Hui up.

After the two finished eating and getting ready, they arrived at the kindergarten gate almost at the last minute.

"Mom, are you coming to pick me up again today?"

Pei Hui held the small water bottle his mother had given him, looked up and asked.
