Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

Shanghai, Pudong New Area.

Inside the high-rise office building of the Shanghai World Financial Center, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows onto the gleaming marble floor.

The president's office at Jiaxing Entertainment was filled with a celebratory atmosphere of sudden wealth.

Yang Mi sat in the large boss's chair, holding a cup of freshly brewed hand-ground coffee. Her pretty face, which usually exuded shrewdness and competence, was now adorned with an irrepressible, maternal smile.

On the computer screen in front of her, the red candlestick chart soared upwards like a rocket.

Jiaxing Entertainment's stock price hit the daily limit twice in just two days.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Yang Mi put down her coffee cup, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently tapped the table, making a cheerful rhythmic sound.

She shifted her gaze from the stock chart to the live stream on the tablet next to her.

In the scene, Li Mo'an, the cheap nephew, is still calmly wielding a hoe, carrying out the tedious digging work amidst the flying dust.

However, despite the seemingly mundane screen, the number of real-time online users in the upper left corner is a terrifying figure that would make countless top-tier celebrities envious.

100,000+.

Various gift effects exploded on the screen, and the barrage of comments was so dense that people's faces were not visible.

"A lucky charm indeed."

As Yang Mi looked at her nephew on the screen, a thought popped into her mind.

"What do you mean by 'evil'? This isn't evil at all! This is clearly the God of Wealth descending to earth to precisely alleviate poverty!"

Remembering the official evaluation that Secretary Chen had given him before, which said that Li Mo'an was strange and that he should never be allowed to dig, Yang Mi just wanted to laugh.

What's wrong with digging?

This land is so well dug! We absolutely must dig this land!

Not only did they generate buzz and traffic, they also boosted the company's stock price.

"It seems that Secretary Chen still doesn't understand the entertainment industry."

Yang Mi shook her head, her affection for Li Mo'an instantly reaching its peak.

This kid, although he seems a bit quiet and doesn't talk much usually, is really capable when it matters. He'll do any work if you ask him to, and he'll cooperate fully with the production team for publicity if you ask him to.

Look at these props, look at this acting, and look at this composed demeanor.

He deserves to be famous!

In a great mood, Yang Mi felt she had to express her sincerity.

After all, the reason this has generated so much buzz is not only because of his nephew's success, but also because of the show's director, Wang Yuzheng.

Without the director's grand planning, and without the realistic props and the cooperation of the police extras, could this play have been performed so successfully?

Thinking of this, Yang Mi picked up her personal cell phone on the table, skillfully found Director Wang Yuzheng's number, and dialed it.

"Beep—beep—"

The phone rang twice and was answered instantly.

The receiver carried Wang Yuzheng's slightly excited, even somewhat obsequious, voice:

"Hey? Mr. Yang! Hello! I was just about to share some good news with you!"

Yang Mi shifted into a more comfortable position, leaning back in her chair, her voice brimming with undisguised amusement:

"Director Wang, you're too kind. I've seen the good news."

"I called specifically to thank you."

She paused, then began her expertly practiced routine of mutual flattery:

"Director Wang, to be honest, although I knew you were talented, I never expected you to have such courage!"

"The script design and pacing are simply divine! Especially the part that involved the villagers, it was brilliant! In terms of vision and methods, no one in the Chinese entertainment industry dares to say they are second to none when it comes to directing variety shows."

........................................

On the other end of the phone, Wang Yuzheng was sitting in the control room, watching the villagers play with bombs in various ways on the monitor, and listening to Yang Mi's praise. He was feeling quite smug.

But he also knew in his heart that the success of this matter was ultimately due to the extraordinary abilities of Boss Yang.

If it weren't for Boss Yang getting these highly realistic props and smoothing things over with the police, he wouldn't have dared to do this, no matter how bold he was.

So Wang Yu quickly said modestly:

"Not at all, Mr. Yang, you flatter me."

"I was just going with the flow, doing some insignificant supporting work. The real talent is in you, Boss Yang!"

Wang Yuzheng's voice was filled with sincere admiration:

"You truly have an eye for talent! Li Mo'an is simply a once-in-a-century variety show genius! That dry humor beneath his calm demeanor, that contrast between his serious yet nonsensical remarks—it's all so sophisticated!"

"And I have to admire your ability to mobilize resources. Those props were incredibly realistic; I was almost fooled myself. Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

........................................

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's smile widened even more.

She found Director Wang quite interesting. Even though he was the one who arranged the props, he insisted on pushing them onto her, probably to avoid suspicion or to flatter her.

"Alright, since you're so understanding, I'll reluctantly accept this credit."

The two chatted back and forth on the phone, finding themselves getting along very well, as if they had met kindred spirits.

This tacit understanding, built on a huge misunderstanding, made them both feel that the other was the best partner in their careers.

As the conversation got more exciting, Yang Mi sat up straight, her beautiful fox-like eyes sparkling with excitement.

Since this collaboration has been so pleasant and effective, why not strike while the iron is hot and plan for a longer-term future?

"Director Wang."

Yang Mi twirled the end of her hair with her fingers and suggested with great interest:

"Look how well the digging went this time, shouldn't we consider making it the topic for the next episode?"

"I think Mo'an has exceptional hands-on skills and is particularly suited to this hardcore style."

Wang Yu, on the other end of the phone, immediately perked up: "What brilliant ideas does Boss Yang have? I'm all ears!"

"How about this?"

Yang Mi's imagination ran wild, and her tone carried a sense of commanding confidence:

"After we finish digging this time, for the next phase, we'll give him something more technically advanced."

"For example...live-streaming the digging of a nuclear bomb?"

After exchanging a few more details, the two hung up the phone.

Putting down her phone, Yang Mi was in a great mood. Of course, the "nuclear bomb digging" comment was just a joke to liven things up. Who's going to dig for a nuclear bomb anyway?

She stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the Huangpu River, and felt refreshed.

"Xiao Gao!"

Yang Mi called out towards the door.

Two seconds later, Assistant Xiao Gao pushed the door open and came in: "Sister Mi, you wanted to see me?"

"Go and do two things for me."

Yang Mi turned around, her face radiating the confidence and domineering aura unique to successful people:

"First, order a batch of top-of-the-line imported fruit baskets, the kind that look ridiculously expensive, like Musang King durians and Shine Muscat grapes, stuff them all in there."

"Secondly, find someone to order a custom-made banner."

Xiao Gao was taken aback for a moment: "A banner? For whom?"

"This is for Director Wang Yuzheng!"

Yang Mi waved her hand:

"The banner must be large, the lettering must be gold, and it must be eye-catching!"

"There are only eight characters written above:"

She thought for a moment, then said with absolute certainty:

"A genius of variety shows, a Midas touch!"

The inscription reads: "Presented by Yang Mi of Jiaxing Entertainment."

Xiao Gao nodded. Although she felt that giving a banner to a variety show director was a bit old-fashioned, she would do it since her boss was so happy.

"Oh, right, book the plane tickets."

Yang Mi seemed to remember something and added:

"I want to personally lead a team to visit and offer my support to the production crew."

"Director Wang has helped us so much this time, making Mo An so famous. I have to go and support him personally and give him face."

At this point, Yang Mi smiled.
