Huayu: Rising from Tencent

After having a meal with Sun Huaizhong and others, Shen Ci took the initiative to invite his subordinates from his department to have another meal the next day.

The department he was in charge of had a rather complex structure, covering five or six key areas, including projects, variety shows, planning and editing.

Of the heads of these departments, only one is male.

Women dominate middle and lower-level leadership positions in this industry.

The secretary specially selected for Shen Ci by headquarters will be starting work today, and Shen Ci is quite looking forward to it.

In the capital, Shen Ci has not yet purchased any property and has been staying in hotels since arriving.

After staying at the hotel for a few days, Shen Ci was quite satisfied with the hotel's environment and service, so he decided to book the room for an extended period.

He didn't have to bear any of the costs himself; Tencent Video covered everything, and even provided him with a dedicated car.

After leaving the hotel, Shen Ci walked towards his private car.

After a respectful greeting, the driver steadily started the car and drove towards the company.

Shen Ci flipped through his phone and dialed the headquarters to inquire about the secretary's exact arrival time.

His schedule was packed today, with several important meetings waiting for him, leaving him no time to wait in the office.

He was told over the phone that his secretary would arrive on time during normal working hours.

At this moment, Lin Xin was filled with emotion!

She has always felt unlucky, but this year has brought her a major turning point in her life!

After more than a month of rigorous selection at headquarters, she stood out and won the opportunity to serve as Shen Ci's secretary.

As she left headquarters, her phone was flooded with calls from colleagues congratulating her.

Lin Xin had only heard of Shen Ci by name before.

All I know is that he is the nephew of the company's boss, and that he has lived abroad since childhood and only returned to China this year.

She was younger than him, yet knew nothing about Shen Ci's personality, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.

The moment Lin Xin finally saw Shen Ci, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled.

"Have you researched the work you'll be responsible for next in advance?"

Shen Ci flipped through Lin Xin's resume, which was outstanding. She graduated from a 985 university and had been working at headquarters for four years.

Lin Xin straightened up and replied, "I understand. Headquarters has given us detailed instructions, Mr. Zane..."

"Stop!" Shen Ci interrupted her when he heard her speak in English. "This isn't headquarters. Just call me by my name."

"Yes, yes..." Lin Xin bowed slightly, a hint of embarrassment on her face, and quickly replied, "President Shen!"

Shen Ci placed the resume on the desk, looked up, and carefully examined the secretary who would soon be working for him.

Lin Xin maintained a professional smile throughout, looking back at Shen Ci.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That face is truly exudes nobility."

"Is everything arranged properly?"

"Everything is arranged, it definitely won't interfere with work."

"That's fine then." Shen Ci nodded, then added, "There's an urgent project that I need you to oversee."

"OK."

Lin Xin was somewhat surprised, not expecting that she would immediately get into work mode after just meeting Shen Ci.

Shen Ci rummaged through the pile of documents on the table, found a stack, handed it to Lin Xin, and said:

"Take a quick look at this document today. Come with me, I'll take you to see the person in charge."

After saying that, he pushed his chair back, stood up, walked past Lin Xin, and headed towards the office door.

Lin Xin, clutching the documents, followed closely behind Shen Ci.

Through this brief encounter, she gained a general understanding of Shen Ci's personality.

This boss seems decisive and efficient.

Shen Ci brought Lin Xin to the project site.

Since he first conceived of the "Chen Qianqian" project, he had already explained the relevant matters to the project team.

The project manager is Li Eryun, who will be the head of Tencent's Tianxuan Studio in the future.

When Shen Ci met Li Eryun before, she decided in her heart that Li Eryun was the only candidate to be in charge of the studio after it was established.

"President Shen!!"

When Li Eryun saw Shen Ci walk in, he immediately stood up from his seat and greeted him respectfully.

Shen Ci strode forward and arrived at her side after a dozen steps, introducing her: "This is Lin Xin, my secretary."

"Hello, Secretary Lin, I am Li Eryun." Li Eryun greeted Lin Xin with a smile.

Lin Xin responded politely, "Hello, Director Li!"

After the two finished exchanging greetings, Shen Ci got straight to the point: "Lin Xin will be handing over the matters related to 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose' to you."

"Okay!" Li Eryun nodded in response.

"I need to see the copyright secured by the end of the month, and at the same time, the main creative team members must all be selected."

The schedule was far too tight. Seeing Shen Ci's serious expression, Li Eryun could only nod helplessly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will do my best to do it."

"I want to see the production team start filming by the end of next month at the latest," Shen Ci added calmly.

The script for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" can largely be based on the novel, and the set design does not need to be too complicated.

He does not intend to increase investment in the project, as that would destroy its original style.

According to his plan, filming will begin next month, with a shooting period of less than two months and post-production taking a little over a month.

This would allow it to launch in December at the perfect time.

"Do you have any companies that you've confirmed to cooperate with?" Li Eryun asked a crucial question.

Most of Tencent's self-produced dramas are currently collaborations with external companies, which provide directors and other key creative personnel.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ci said, "You decide."

After saying that, he turned to Lin Xin and said, "You should have a detailed discussion with Minister Li first."

"Okay!" Lin Xin replied quickly.

After giving his instructions, Shen Ci left the project site. He needed to use the restroom, so he went there.

After washing his hands at the sink, he straightened his sleeves and prepared to return to his office.

As Shen Ci reached the corner of the corridor, he ran into Sun Huaizhong and the four people beside him.

"President Shen!" Sun Huaizhong, with his sharp eyes, was the first to call out enthusiastically.

Shen Ci's gaze swept over the four people beside Sun Huaizhong, and a thought struck him. He asked, "Are you discussing a project?"

The four are Yu Zheng, Chen Xiao, Xiaolongbao, and Mao Xiaotong.

I never imagined that my first encounter with a celebrity would be in the company corridor.

Yu Zheng looked Shen Ci up and down, and sighed inwardly, "This person looks so young, and quite handsome."

"Mr. Sun, who is this?" Yu Zheng asked curiously.

"This is our General Manager Shen, who is in charge of self-produced content. Speaking of which, General Manager Yu will definitely have some collaborations with General Manager Shen in the future."

Sun Huaizhong is not wrong. Companies outside the company that want to cooperate with Tencent all need to coordinate with Shen Ci on relevant matters.

Yu Zheng immediately extended his hand warmly and said with a big smile, "Mr. Shen, it's nice to meet you."

"Hello there."

Looking at the slightly plump man in front of him, Shen Ci couldn't help but think of He Shengming.

After shaking hands, Yu Zheng turned to Shen Ci and introduced Chen Xiao and the other two to him one by one. The three of them also greeted Shen Ci.

Chen Xiao remained relatively calm, while Chen Yanxi and Mao Xiaotong were surprised that Shen Ci, at such a young age, was already a senior executive in the company...

I was somewhat surprised, but then I thought, if it was someone with connections, it would make sense.

What amazed them the most was Shen Ci's appearance.

When people of the opposite sex meet for the first time, physical appearance is often the first thing that attracts their attention, which is understandable.

"Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

Sun Huaizhong invited Shen Ci and said, "We are discussing the copyright of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Ci nodded and said, "Okay."

This is a good opportunity to see the scene, as he will inevitably have to deal with cooperation negotiations with various parties in the future.
