The Heiress's Game

Gu Yunjin sat in the large armchair in the Suiyuan study, with the weekly report sent by Li Chunjing open on her tablet.

The weekly report was very detailed—filming progress, publicity data, platform connections, brand sponsorships, team personnel changes, next week's schedule, risk warnings, each item was well-organized and the data was abundant, even the notes in parentheses were clearly marked.

After she finished watching, she put the tablet aside and leaned back in her chair.

Gu Yunjin was certain that Li Chunjing was a talented person, ever since she proposed the plan to "turn Chen Cui into Chen Cui's family".

They are not the kind of people who follow the rules step by step, but the kind of people who can make correct judgments when information is incomplete and grow rapidly under high pressure.

But the more talented someone is, the more time they need to hone their skills.

Entrusting the entire "Walking with Brilliance" project to her now would be too much.

It's not that she lacks ability, but that her experience isn't sufficient to support this scale.

Publicity, production, business development, platform relations, team management, supply chain building—each of these is an independent battleground.

Li Chunjing's ability to excel on two or three fronts has already exceeded expectations, but it will take time for her to manage all fronts simultaneously.

Gu Yunjin quickly reviewed Li Chunjing's recent performance in her mind—after Lao Ma gave up, she single-handedly took on both production coordination and publicity, and she also kept up with the platform's communication.

However, she lacks experience. Her previous background in finance gives her an advantage in data and cost control, but she is still not good at team management and cross-departmental coordination.

At the last meeting, Vice President Fang proposed a plan for developing derivative products for the second season, but Li Chunjing did not immediately accept it.

Instead, it took him a few seconds to realize what was happening—those few seconds of pause would be perfectly normal for an ordinary employee, but for someone who has to independently manage a project, that's a difference.

She needs more time and more experience.

But "Walking with Brilliance" can't wait. Sponsors are lining up, the platform is urging for a second season, the design proposals for derivative brands have passed the initial review, and the supply chain is waiting to sign contracts—all these things are piling up, and it can't wait for her to grow slowly.

The headhunter did send in a few candidates.

His first resume was impressive, but during the interview, Gu Yunjin noticed a detail—when discussing content control, he kept using phrases like "I think the audience will like it," without ever mentioning data analysis or user research.

After the interview, Gu Yunjin told the headhunter, "This person is not suitable."

The second one is even more outrageous. He comes on and says, "Variety shows are essentially fast-moving consumer goods. They make a quick buck and then leave," as if he wants to have the word "shortsighted" engraved on his forehead.

She went through all the resumes sent by the headhunter, and then typed a few words in the headhunter's chat box:

"If none of these three work, keep looking. I need someone who can commit to the project long-term, not someone who's just a stepping stone to leave after two years. Salary can be increased, but the right person is essential."

After sending the message, she put her phone on the table, picked up the now-cold coffee, and took a sip.

The osmanthus tree outside the window swayed gently in the night breeze. She suddenly thought of Zhou Ji—after Yunwhale Capital moved back to China, she would have more resources at her disposal, and this platform would be attractive enough to truly ambitious people.

The problem now is to find that person and then persuade them to join.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Li Chunjing: "I've read the weekly report, it's well done. Cooperate more with Vice President Fang, learn more and ask more questions. You'll have a better position after this project."

She knew that Li Chunjing would be even more motivated after seeing this message, because they were the same kind of people—they didn't need to be coaxed or flattered; they only needed to be given enough space and trust to push themselves to the limit.

It's not available today, haha, but I can come back tomorrow.
