Chapter 369 Talent Gap
The chairman's office rest area.

Even with the air conditioner set to 18 degrees Celsius, it seemed unable to suppress the passion in bed.

Zhang Yan, who had just rolled over and lay flat, kicked off the blanket haphazardly. After the sweat on his body quickly subsided, he sat up.

He patted Wang Luyao, who was sprawled out on the floor, and said, "Do you want me to carry you inside so we can shower together?"

Wang Luyao took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Let me catch my breath a little longer, my calves just cramped up."

"Serves you right!"

Zhang Yanshun pinched her heart, then got up and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "Who told you to surprise me like that? You made me really angry, do you know that?"

It has been half a month since the housewarming ceremony.

The senior students who signed contracts in advance have finally graduated and integrated into the Dream Realization family.

As the boss, Zhang Yan naturally had to inspect the new employees, encourage them, and explain the company culture.

When they arrived at the dance troupe, Wang Luyao insisted that some people were very frustrated because they couldn't perform on stage at the housewarming ceremony, so she hoped that President Zhang could give them another chance to perform.

Then, the nine girls performed a thigh dance for Zhang Yan and Wang Jinghua in the conference room.

The lead dancer is Li Xiaoran.

The scene at that time...

Zhang Yan even had the illusion that those two cold white thighs were glowing.

No wonder people in ancient times liked to keep female dancers!

In fact, Li Xiaoran was not the one with the biggest movements, nor was she the most proactive or the most eager to perform.

Two young girls were practically begging to put their legs into Zhang Yan's arms, hoping that he would grab their thighs so they could also cling to him.

Aside from Wang Yan and Li Xiaoran, these girls all attended university in Tianjin. They had heard of Yuanmeng and General Manager Zhang, and their determination to align themselves with the organization's core was naturally extremely strong.

Unfortunately, there is indeed a difference in talent, which is even more obvious when compared.

Zhang Yan went into the bathroom to wash up quickly, and when he came out, he found that Wang Luyao was already asleep.

He casually adjusted the air conditioner to 26 degrees Celsius, covered Wang Luyao with a blanket, and then got dressed again before going outside to handle official business.

The soundproofing in the new office is excellent; whether you're on the bed in the inner room or at your desk in the outer room, you're guaranteed not to make a single sound.

But too much quiet can also make people feel lonely.

So Zhang Yan set up a record player in the corner to play music while working.

After turning on the background music, the first document Zhang Yan processed was related to music—Han Lei's album, released in June, failed to reach number one on the hit song charts.

This was somewhat unexpected, after all, Han Lei has always been a key to fulfilling dreams, and his powerful singing style is very much to the liking of young people born in the 70s.

With the addition of Yuanmeng's powerful song request marketing network, his new song should have swept the market and given Yuanmeng a perfect ending to the first half of the year's album campaign.

Unfortunately, he was overshadowed by Andy Lau's newly released single "Chinese People," so he could only rank second in the newspaper and magazine statistics.

Actually, the song's overall quality wasn't top-notch, as it was rushed out of production. However, it was very much in line with political correctness, so it spread throughout the streets and alleys of mainland China as soon as it was released.

This is probably what later generations called "making money off AG".

Why don't we make a similar one for Richie Jen?

Hong Kong singers have value in uniting the people, and Taiwanese singers are no less valuable.

However, there's no need to rush. Waiting until the end of 97 might have been more effective.

After all, everyone has a desire to have more than they have. Once Hong Kong officially returned to China in 97, people's attention to Taiwan will definitely increase.

However, we can have Zhang Weining put together a song first, so we can test Ren Xianqi's attitude in advance.

After writing down his thoughts, Zhang Yan opened the next report, written by Cao Fang, which mainly reported on the latest progress of the "Galloping Age" and "Martial Arts Showdown" projects.

With Liu Zhenyun in charge of "The Age of Glory," Zhang Yan didn't have much to worry about. As for "competing in the martial arts genre," since the younger editors had all been reassigned to assist Liu Zhenyun, they could only rely on the martial arts novelists.

As a result, to this day, there is no consensus on whose content should be used, or even which era it should be set out to be, or whether it should be historical fact or fiction.

They're a complete mess.

Zhang Yan wanted to find a backbone for them, but he didn't know who was suitable for the job, so he could only put it aside for the time being. Anyway, Yuanmeng already had several projects, so there was no need to rush.

The third one is...

Uh ~
Why does it feel like everything is being pushed back?

Zhang Yan stopped flipping through the documents and reflected on himself. He was never the kind of person with a particularly strong drive, and since moving to the new office building, this lazy attitude towards governance had become even more obvious.

This is not possible!

I'm about to become a father, how can I be like a lazy bum and lose all ambition?
So he took back the report on 'fighting martial arts', carefully reviewed it, and wrote a comment of about 500 words on the focus of the current dispute between the two sides.

Basically, it's like turning 'fighting over martial arts' into a set essay topic. Since they've been arguing about it, there's no need to argue anymore. They can just fill in the framework and flesh according to their own ideas.

About two and a half hours later.

The exhaust fan in the corner suddenly started whirring. Seeing this, Zhang Yan went over and opened the door to the lounge.

Wang Luyao, who had just finished showering, came out of the room drying her hair and complained, "Brother Yan, why didn't you wake me up? I had things to do this afternoon."

"Your dance troupe is currently getting familiar with the situation and is quite busy with various tasks."

As Zhang Yan spoke, he reached out and pulled her collar closer to the center to prevent those two heavy mounds from jumping out and reigniting his anger.

Finding it was all in vain, he frowned and asked, "Where are the buttons on your collar?"

Wang Luyao said aggrievedly, "When you pressed my head down, it broke open and flew off somewhere."

Tsk~
It seems there was such a thing.

However, Zhang Yan still glared and said, "Isn't that because you've gained weight recently?"

"Then I'll lose weight..."

"No need. Just remember to keep a change of clothes in the house in case of need."

Zhang Yan objected before she could finish speaking. "Are you kidding me? We've raised her all this way, what if she starves and gets thin? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Wang Luyao definitely can't go out in this state.

So they made her call her assistant to send a piece of clothing to her office, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the hallway, they told her to hurry up and change.

Wang Luyao was still not satisfied with this, and pouted, saying, "This sneaking around is like being a thief."

Haha~
If it's done openly and honestly, can it still be called adultery?
Ever since this young lady became the head of the dance troupe, she seems to have become more unruly; she wouldn't have dared to complain about this before.

Zhang Yan straightened his face, about to give a reprimand, when he suddenly received a call from Yu Hua, who said that Zhang Yimou had finally returned home with honors and planned to invite the main cast and crew to dinner.

It has to be said that Zhang Yimou really has a knack for this. His film "To Live" won three awards at Cannes recently, and Ge You even won the Best Actor award.

Unfortunately, the film did not pass censorship in mainland China, so after winning the award, Zhang Yimou did not rush back, but instead continued to sell the film overseas.

I heard the copyrights sold well; not only were European distributors interested, but they even sold to the United States.

Zhang Yan was a little puzzled: "Is this related to me?"

"You also contributed to the adaptation of the script."

That's true. After all, this was Yu Hua's first time adapting a script, and Zhang Yan, as someone with experience, gave him a lot of advice. Of course, Yu Hua insisted on not changing many parts, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to pass the review.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then politely declined, saying, "Never mind, I won't go. Anyway, he'll be coming to Tianjin in a couple of days to film 'The Hegemon-King of Western Chu,' so there will be plenty of opportunities to meet then."

Chen Hong hasn't given up on dragging Gong Li into this mess yet, so Zhang Yan felt a little guilty about meeting Zhang Yimou at this time.
