Feeling the trusting gaze of this woman, Xiao Zheng felt a peculiar sensation swell within him; being trusted was a beautiful feeling.
"However, the several projects you ntioned — gas, novels, film, and music — each one is vast. If we take on all of them, we definitely won’t be able to concentrate our full efforts and produce true masterpieces. What do you think would be a better choice for us to focus on?" Leng Ruobing then asked.
Xiao Zheng pondered for a mont before saying, "Film and music!"
"Hmm?" Leng Ruobing’s face showed a look of inquiry.
"Apart from the jewelry industry, Qianqiu Group’s previous projects have many connections with personalities in the film and music industries. If we take these two directions, we can utilize those existing resources, which would give us a higher starting point," Xiao Zheng explained with a smile.
"And besides, Xiao Ran has always dread of being a superstar, right? If Qianqiu Group takes on these two projects, it would greatly help her. Who knows, we might even nurture a superstar," he added with a laugh.
Leng Ruobing nodded and said, "You make a lot of sense."
Thinking of Chu Xiaoran, Leng Ruobing shook her head and chuckled, "But, that girl Xiao Ran is really stubborn. If we really want to help her, I don’t know if she’ll be willing."
Xiao Zheng chuckled, "We’ll see when the ti cos. If she’s willing, she can co; if not, we can still help her find so resources."
"Mm."
Leng Ruobing nodded.
Soon, she suddenly stood up and said, "Let’s go, let’s head to the company now and have a eting to decide on this direction!"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Zheng was surprised and said, "So soon? And, it’s already evening; the company staff has gone ho."
Leng Ruobing, being a workaholic, didn’t mind these details at all. With excitent in her eyes, she said, "It doesn’t matter. If they’ve gone ho, we’ll just call them back. This is a major project for the company. Working overti and having a eting is nothing out of the ordinary — at worst, we’ll pay them so overti."
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. Overti pay? Those involved in setting future projects for the company were certainly senior executives — their annual salary was in the millions. Would they really care about that little bit of overti pay?
"Alright, alright, have it your way," Xiao Zheng ultimately said, doting yet helpless.
Pleased with the response, Leng Ruobing smiled and then sent out a notification to all company executives. Instantly the work chat was filled with groans, but they were powerless to refuse; after all, it was the CEO’s command, and they had to attend.
Very soon.
In a conference room of Qianqiu Group, company executives arrived one after the other, with Leng Ruobing taking the seat at the head of the table, and Xiao Zheng beside her,
The many executives looked at Xiao Zheng with a hint of surprise. They had naturally heard about him; Xiao Zheng had previously made several notable appearances within the company and was rumored to have a very mysterious background. Even the leader of Zhonghai’s underground forces had to give him face.
However, as much as his background was mysterious and powerful, why was he attending this executive eting? Although everyone had their doubts, no one would raise questions at such a ti; they all quietly took their seats.
"Ladies and Gentlen."
Leng Ruobing began to speak as soon as everyone had arrived.
Everyone imdiately beca solemn and perked up their ears.
Since the launch of the jewelry project, Leng Ruobing’s status within the company had been very solid, with a large number of supporters. Even if many of the executives were company veterans, they dared not be presumptuous.
"The reason I’ve called you here for a eting is to determine the future direction of our company," Leng Ruobing stated as she scanned the room.
Although she was a woman, her presence was substantial. Sitting in the main seat and sweeping her gaze over everyone, she possessed an air of authority that demanded respect without the need for anger.
Truly an ice queen CEO!
Xiao Zheng praised silently in his mind.
"A new developnt direction?" A veteran executive in the company frowned and said, ’Madam President, our company has been developing very well recently. The jewelry project has been greatly welcod throughout the country.’
Leng Ruobing shook her head and said, "As the saying goes, ’Be prepared for danger in tis of peace.’ We can’t be blinded by present prosperity and ignore future crises."
"The company is indeed developing well now, but that doesn’t guarantee long-term success, especially since our jewelry industry only has a cost advantage, lacking any other tiless features!"
"Once Treasure Jade Joint Trading Company cancels their contract with us, our jewelry business will be faced with an imdiate catastrophe. Although the chances are very slim, it’s not wise to link the safety of the company entirely to outsiders."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, feeling that Leng Ruobing had a point, and they couldn’t help but inwardly admire her. No wonder this female CEO could manage the company so successfully in such a short period; her vision was not sothing they could compare with.
"So, Madam President, what should we do? I believe you already have so ideas," said another executive.
All eyes turned to Leng Ruobing.
"Yes."
Leng Ruobing nodded and said, "I have thought for many days and have conceived a future developnt direction for the company — that is, film and music!"
"Hmm?"
The directors had been looking forward to her words, but upon hearing Leng Ruobing’s statent, they all furrowed their brows.
The conference room fell into a silence for a mont.
Leng Ruobing was slightly startled, glanced over the people, and then asked, "Is there a problem?"
After a while, an executive ventured a glance at Leng Ruobing before saying, "President, there’s sothing I’m not sure if I should bring up?"
Leng Ruobing smiled and said, "In a company eting, one should speak freely. Whatever opinions you have, please speak your mind."
"Alright."
The executive nodded and said, "I think that focusing on film and music as our two developnt directions might be inappropriate."
Leng Ruobing asked with curiosity, "Why’s that?"
The executive said, "Indeed, the entertainnt industry is flourishing now, and all sorts of companies have joined the fray, like a wild fire feeding on oil."
"But beneath this prosperity lie significant issues!"
"The current entertainnt market is rife with low-quality products drawing much criticism. This apparent boom is full of bubbles that, given so ti and audience disinterest, will see markets like film and music shrink drastically! If our company enters the market at this ti, the consequences are unpredictable."
Once this was said, many directors nodded in agreent, evidently sharing similar thoughts.
