Chapter 885: Chapter 770: Comet Film and Television Cultural Media Group (Please Subscribe!)
The meeting progressed quickly.
After dealing with general company affairs,
it was time for significant decision-making.
On the high-definition projection on the wall, Dou Jiao was giving a report with a serious expression.
"...After two weeks of preparation and follow-up, the approval for Comet Film and Television Cultural Media Group has been granted. All necessary documents have also been issued. Personnel adjustments within the Group and the renaming of functional departments will begin progressively starting next Monday."
The entire Group’s approval and the planning for the establishment of functional departments were handled by Sky Eye. Now, all those seated here above the level of Deputy General Manager will seamlessly transition to the positions of Group President and Vice Presidents.
Furthermore, the general managers of all the branches will receive an additional title of Deputy Group President, but such a title does not involve ordinary affairs, it merely grants them a level of treatment.
These were the main points of Dou Jiao’s report.
Quite simple.
Essentially finished in just a few sentences.
Next, it was Pu Chaodong’s turn.
"Chairman, Directors, this weekend, the replacement of the Group’s signage at headquarters and branch offices will be completed overtime, and new office stationery for various departments will arrive before Monday.
However, Chairman, the establishment of the Group has attracted great attention from ** city leaders. They hope that we hold an establishment ceremony and have specifically invited you to attend. What are your thoughts on this matter?" Pu Chaodong cautiously watched Tang Qing.
Having worked together for so long, he understood Tang Qing’s personality—Tang Qing detested hassle, truly detested hassle, but he had the clout to do so. Both of the Group’s shareholders had significant influence.
As the Chairman,
Tang Qing wasn’t necessarily afraid of ** city’s municipal leaders either.
Therefore, Pu Chaodong did not dare to make decisions on his own.
When the municipal leader’s secretary heard this, he was stunned. If it were anyone else, they would have agreed immediately, then inquired about various details to avoid mistakes on-site.
But the answer Pu Chaodong gave was, "I need to consult the Chairman first."
This ’arrogant’ tone left the secretary somewhat displeased. He hung up the phone. Had it not been for Comet Film and Television’s dazzling achievements and its global renown,
the secretary might have taught Pu Chaodong a lesson on the spot.
When Tang Qing heard this was the issue at hand,
he really felt a headache coming on.
Here we go again.
What a bore.
I’m simply establishing a Group, yet I have to make an appearance. So vexing.
Seeing Tang Qing’s frustrated expression,
Chai Ren and Zheng Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
What others dream of, Tang Qing treated with such reluctance, as if it were a great imposition.
"Chairman, is it really so hard to decide?" Zheng Lin said with a wry smile.
Watching Zheng Lin squirm under his gaze, Tang Qing spoke up, "It’s not you who has to go, so you can talk lightly. I think, why don’t you go entertain those city leaders instead?"
Hearing this,
Zheng Lin shook his head vigorously, laughing, "You’re the Chairman, it’s better if you go. They specifically asked for you, after all. It’s for the company; just bear with it." 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Bear with it.
These two words
caused many in the room to twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Tang Qing replied irritably, "You’re also the Group’s Deputy Chairman. It would be the same if you went. I have classes, you know. As a student, my primary job is to study. I love school, I love learning."
Zheng Lin pursed his lips, showing disbelief, "That’s not the same at all. It’s not like they’re sending you to the gallows. Just go and be done with it. You won’t lose a chunk of flesh, will you? Hmm, let’s see, if it really comes down to it, let’s have Director Chai go. He’s more free."
"Where am I free? I also have a whole lot of things to manage," Chai Ren rolled his eyes.
Zheng Lin snorted, "Then you have time to come here today, tell me, is it because you wanted to freeload a meal?"
"Saying I’m here to freeload food, aren’t you doing the same, pot calling the kettle black?" Chai Ren’s face turned red, and it wasn’t just about freeload; he was planning to pack some to-go, as the one at home had repeatedly told him to do so.
"So you admit it?"
"I..."
"..."
Tang Qing watched speechlessly as the meeting took a strange turn. The Group’s management was holding back their laughter, except for Dou Jiao who was openly chuckling, serious—business operations are a serious matter.
This kind of thing.
She really found it dull.
Now Comet Film and Television had grown into a giant tree as if it had taken some potent medicine, virtually self-sufficient without anyone needing to water or fertilize it, drawing sustenance from the essence of heaven and earth.
Dou Jiao also thought staging a ceremony was pointless.
If the Group had an independent headquarters, it would be fine to invite people from all walks to celebrate, but now they were just renting a few floors of someone else’s building—staging a ceremony in such a setting just didn’t seem prestigious at all.
The Group’s management found the situation increasingly odd.
Those who didn’t know the backgrounds of these few people thought they were a bit ’drifty’.
But Shen Yi, who was fully aware of their backgrounds, didn’t find anything amiss. The combined backgrounds of these four could be described as staggering. As long as they didn’t go too far, who would dare come and cause trouble for them?
"Ahem."
Tang Qing hurriedly coughed twice.
Both of them immediately stopped and, noticing the Group’s management looking at them curiously, felt no embarrassment—what mattered was how things were handled privately.
"Well, I was thinking—right, which city leaders are coming?" Tang Qing suddenly asked.
Pu Chaodong pondered for a moment before responding, "The Mayor and the Executive Deputy Mayor, along with leaders from the Industrial and Commercial and other departments. If we really hold the event, there might also be many peer companies attending."
Tang Qing nodded.
He looked at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi shook his head slightly, indicating that he was unaware of this matter.
In that case, since Shen Yi’s father was coming, Tang Qing had no more concerns, "Well then, let’s have it, but you two can’t skip it. I need you to keep things in order."
Zheng Lin asked, puzzled, "If no one’s coming to cause trouble, why do we need to keep things in order?"
"Yeah," Chai Ren echoed.
"One case."
Tang Qing smiled and gave a thumbs up.
As expected.
Zheng Lin immediately agreed.
"Deal."
"No problem, it’s just a small thing," Chai Ren stated righteously.
A complete change of attitude from before.
Even though it was just a case of fruit wine.
It was still a win.
Only a few people in the room knew what ’one case’ meant and looked at them strangely, failing to understand. Eventually, they stopped wondering, deciding it didn’t matter, whether it was a case of apples or gold, it was none of their business.
"Director Pu, find a decent place, don’t pick somewhere too flashy, and I won’t give a speech either. Just eating, drinking and chatting will do. I don’t want to end up in the headlines the next day," Tang Qing instructed.
"Understood,"
Pu Chaodong agreed with a wry smile.
Though thinking about Tang Qing’s age, acting willful was normal. After all, who wouldn’t be willful when they could afford to be?
It just meant he needed to be even more earnest when making phone calls later.
