My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1124 Investment Four

After the rain.

Even the city wind carries a hint of late autumn, the smell of fallen, yellowing leaves soaked by rainwater. It's not unpleasant, but rather tinged with sadness.

It's as if autumn knows that its own season is about to end.

However, on some streets, a faint fragrance wafts through the air when a breeze blows by. It is the scent of osmanthus trees by the roadside, mixed with the unique aroma of late autumn, creating a distinctive cool fragrance.

The conference room door of Tianyu Entertainment was pushed open, and Lin Bao'er was the first to walk out.

Today, she was wearing wide-leg jeans with a loose-fitting black women's blazer over them. Her youthful face was lightly made up. Song Lan, who was following behind her, said, "Director Zheng, President Bai is already waiting in the meeting room, along with Zhang Yi and Director Zhang."

Early in the morning.

As soon as Lin Bao'er arrived at the company, she learned that Zhang You had also invested in Director Zheng's "The Palace Chronicles". This infuriated her. This guy hadn't given any indication before investing; he was quite secretive.

If she had known earlier, she certainly wouldn't have only invested ten million.

Aside from Director Zheng's agency, the remaining investment was split equally between her and Zhang Xiaoyou, but this guy insisted on dragging Zhang Yi into it without informing her beforehand.

However, Lin Bao'er thought about it for a moment.

He also felt that he might be overthinking things. If Zhang Xiaoyou's "The Palace Chronicles" project were really good, it wouldn't have been delayed until now. Given his nature, he would have already submitted it.

Enter the reception room.

Lin Bao'er's gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Yi's lower abdomen. She frowned almost imperceptibly, then looked at Zhang Xiaoyou. Seeing that he was calm, she didn't say anything more.

It should be impossible.

Jiang Yiren isn't stupid enough to not know that her husband is having an affair with Zhang Yi and that Zhang Yi is pregnant. If that were true... why slap Zhou Qing? She should just slap herself in the face.

Mr. Lin

Director Zheng greeted Lin Bao'er respectfully.

Lin Bao'er nodded, then smiled and looked at a middle-aged man of similar age to Director Zheng, saying, "Uncle Bai, it's been a while since I last saw you; you look even better."

"Nothing is better than your dad."

With a beer belly and an air of authority, Bai Jing laughed and said, "Among us old guys, your dad is the most easygoing and carefree. Not only does he not have to worry, but the company is also thriving. People used to say that your personality was too stable and not suitable to be the boss of Tianyu Entertainment, but the two projects 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' and 'The Truman Show' have made so much money, and 'The Voice of China' seems to be starting to turn a profit as well. It really makes us old guys look at you in a new light."

"Thank you for the award"

Lin Baoer smiled.

The success of three consecutive projects greatly enhanced Lin Bao'er's prestige in the company, and also made the company's shareholders extremely respectful towards her. However, Lin Bao'er knew very well that... to outsiders, it might seem that she had a keen eye for talent and brought Zhang Xiaoyou into the company, which led to such achievements.

In reality, she got it by being "slapped" by Zhang Xiaoyou.

As the boss of a company, being "slapped" by one of its employees doesn't seem... particularly strange; it's just a matter of the roles being reversed.

After chatting with Bai Jinghan, Lin Bao'er turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Do you want to sign with Tianyu Entertainment? I can give you a contract as a second-tier artist..."

Before Lin Bao'er could finish speaking, Zhang You interrupted her, saying, "Alright, hurry up and sign the contract. Don't act like an entertainment company boss, trying to sign every valuable person you see. The company has so many trainees; aren't they enough for you to promote?"

"..."

Lin Bao'er was a little angry.

This guy didn't give her any face at all.

Speaking to her like this in private would be one thing, but doing it in front of Director Zheng and President Bai was too much. So Lin Bao'er said coldly, "Director Zhang, I'm speaking to Zhang Yi, please don't interfere."

talking.

Lin Bao'er then instructed Song Lan, "Have the legal department draft a few contracts."

After Song Lan left, Lin Bao'er turned to Bai Jing and said, "Uncle Bai, your company invested 20 million, and although our Tianyu Entertainment only invested 10 million, Director Zhang is also from our company. Therefore, the production supervisor, bookkeeper, and cashier for 'The Legend of the Imperial Harem' should all be from our company."

"I have no worries about what you do," Bai Jing said, not holding it against him.

This is mainly because it's an industry rule.

Whichever company invests the most should be responsible for overseeing these issues. The same applies to production costs; they are deposited into a designated account and then distributed in installments during filming. This is mainly to prevent the director from overextending the budget and causing the production to exceed the budget.

Zhang Yi's gaze lingered on Lin Bao'er, the current boss of Tianyu Entertainment. The conversation between Chairman Lin and Zhang You just now... After Zhang You said a few words, although Chairman Lin responded with a cold face, her immediate change of topic gave her the feeling that Chairman Lin was intentionally avoiding Zhang You and giving herself a way out.

Thinking about this, Zhang Yi realized that he might be overthinking things.

It's understandable that Han Wei approached Zhang You.

What gives Chairman Lin the right?!

Director Zheng

Zhang You looked at Zheng Xiaotian and said, "You might want to look for that female dance partner I mentioned last night named Sun Qian. I personally think she would be very suitable for this kind of role."

Lin Bao'er paused in her speech as she spoke to Bai Jing, her eyes flickering a few times.

Bai Jing's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused slightly.

in fact.

Contracts like these don't need his signature at all. Bai Jing also knows that with Tianyu Entertainment's total assets, an investment of ten million is not enough to warrant Chairman Lin's involvement.

But both of them appeared, for a simple reason: Zhang You also invested, and he accounted for the largest share of the investment, which made the significance of this film quite different.

"I'll contact them after the cooperation agreement is signed."

Director Zheng nodded quickly.

"Director Zheng, if the filming goes over budget, just let me know, and I'll give you more investment."

Lin Bao'er interjected with a smile.

"There's no need for Chairman Lin to trouble himself with that."

Bai Jing chuckled and said, "Director Zheng is a director from our company. If he goes over time, I'll naturally take care of it. It's our company's responsibility to resolve any issues for our directors."

"Uncle Bai, why didn't you bet all of them!?"

Lin Bao'er laughed and said, "If you had invested all of it, 'The Palace Chronicles' would probably be ready to film by now. There would be no need for Director Zheng to go around soliciting investment."

As she spoke, Lin Bao'er turned to Zheng Xiaotian and said, "Uncle Zheng, if you're unhappy at Xiaowan Company, you can come to Tianyu Entertainment. You and Director Li are old friends. If you come, I'll invest in your film production. I can have Director Zhang write a script for you. You're good at period dramas, so you can make a period film."

"If Director Zheng wants to film, he can do so at Xiaowan Film Company."

Bai Jing quickly spoke up.

"Uncle Zheng, did you hear that?"

Lin Bao'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "When you want to get involved in the film industry, let my Uncle Bai invest. If he doesn't invest, just tell me, and I'll let him hear what he just said."

"You girl..."

Seeing Lin Bao'er speak up for Director Zheng, Bai Jing not only wasn't angry, but laughed even more heartily. After a while, he finally spoke, "Bao'er, can't my son really give it a try? Your Uncle Bai is making this clear today: if you two get married and give me a grandson or granddaughter, I'll retire immediately. You can merge Xiaowan Entertainment into Tianyu Entertainment if you want, or sell it if you don't."

"..."

Lin Baoer was stunned.

I glanced subconsciously at Zhang Xiaoyou, who was chatting with Director Zheng about the music and theme song, and thought to myself, "I'll have a son and a daughter soon, but they'll be this guy's."

Zhang Yi's expression shifted as she sat in the chair.
