I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

Guan Lu was furious. How dare this woman disrespect him like this in public?

No matter what, I've been a long-time employee of Tianhua branch for over ten years, and I'm also one of the branch's boss, Li Tianming's, people. Are you trying to completely break ties like this?

Very well, let's start tearing it apart!

"Wang Jingjing, if you continue to run your business like this, don't blame me for reporting you to the group company for being autocratic and prioritizing personal interests over public duties."

Guan Lu placed his hands on the conference table, looking down at Wang Jingjing.

Wang Jingjing didn't even lift her eyelids: "Go ahead, and close the door behind you."

Guan Lu was furious. He glanced at Li Tianming, who had been silent until now. Finally, Li Tianming spoke up: "Although Guan Lu did not invest any money, as a long-time employee of the company and the head of the scriptwriting department, he still has the right to make suggestions on this project."

We should seek common ground while reserving differences. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for this short drama to purchase the theme song.

Moreover, even when buying theme songs, we should make long-term plans and not act based on personal likes or dislikes.

How well will this song be received by the market? Nobody knows. Even if you're willing to spend money, it's best to find lyricists and composers whose work has been proven in the market.

Li Tianming's words were watertight, reassuring everyone and making Guan Lu feel smug.

Qi Tian raised an eyebrow, about to stand up and express his opinion, but then saw Wang Jingjing give him a reassuring look.

The two had spent a week filming a short drama together, and had developed a strong rapport. Qi Tian relaxed and prepared to watch the beautiful director's performance.

"Mr. Li's suggestion is excellent. Does anyone else have any objections?"

Wang Jingjing asked for everyone's opinion again.

Seeing that Li Tianming had spoken this time, everyone felt more confident, but being seasoned veterans, none of them dared to voice their opinions.

In this atmosphere, anyone who speaks up must be out of their mind.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Jingjing looked at Guan Lu again: "This is the third time I'm asking you to leave. If you don't leave, pack your bags and leave."

No one expected that Wang Jingjing would dare to be so defiant even after Li Tianming had spoken.

Moreover, they directly confronted Li Tianming head-on.

Guan Lu was so angry he was about to explode.

He stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay, feeling extremely awkward.

Wang Jingjing looked at the HR manager: "I'll issue a written warning and a company-wide announcement later. Guan Lu has disobeyed orders from his superiors three times in a row. He'll have to sign off on it after the meeting."

Guan Lu flew into a rage, slammed the door, and stormed out: "Fine, very well, just wait and see what my complaints are like!"

Wang Jingjing ignored him and waited for him to leave the meeting room before looking at everyone in the room: "Alright, the rest are the investors. Everyone has given their opinions, so it's my turn to speak."

This time, no one dared to say another word.

Sun Jing looked at Wang Jingjing's domineering demeanor with eyes full of admiration.

That's so cool! Director Wang, how can you be so domineering? Teach me a few tricks!

Qi Tian didn't expect Wang Jingjing to confront him so directly, and even issue a written warning. You should know that if Guan Lu receives three written warnings within a year, he will have to resign automatically.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Jingjing looked at Li Tianming.

"Now I'll answer Mr. Li and your opinions. The biggest investor in this film is me personally, not the group company. The group company is only a minor shareholder. The dividends we give you are employee benefits provided by the group company to take care of its employees."

You signed an investment agreement, which only grants you the right to receive dividends. Guan Lu didn't sign an investment and dividend agreement, and didn't you even look at your own dividend agreement?

Li Tianming fell silent, and everyone else also fell silent in fear.

Just now, because Guan Luchong was on the front line, everyone was stirred up to question the company's decision. Now everyone has come to their senses that the biggest say in this project is in Wang Jingjing's hands.

Although Li Tianming is Wang Jingjing's superior in administrative matters, the "Let's Get Married in a Flash" project is an independent project directly under the group's jurisdiction.

Wang Jingjing is listed as the producer and the largest investor. Li Tianming is at most the boss of a service provider company and has no right to interfere in this project.

He can only offer suggestions if Wang Jingjing, the client, pays him any attention.

He was forced to speak earlier, seemingly to offer suggestions, but in reality, he was just afraid that Guan Lu, Li Lei, and other frontline soldiers who had fought for him would be disheartened.

This is the rule of the industry, and it's also why many outsiders who enter the industry get ripped off even after receiving money.

If Wang Jingjing is unhappy, none of the investors present will receive a single penny of return. If Wang Jingjing is even more ruthless, she could swallow up even the principal.

Qi Tian was taken aback when he heard from the corner that the biggest investor in this project was Wang Jingjing herself.

He wasn't surprised that Wang Jingjing could come up with so much money. A woman who drives luxury cars and lives in a detached villa in Xi'an wouldn't be surprised if she spent tens of millions on a short drama.

To his surprise, after the other company rejected his script, Wang Jingjing took it on and persuaded the group company to invest in and produce the short drama.

Whether it was out of recognition for the book or for herself, Wang Jingjing can be considered her mentor.

Okay, from now on, I won't refuse to answer your calls on weekends.

……

Li Tianming suppressed his anger and was about to say something polite when Wang Jingjing's next words shut him up.

"We've already discussed the theme song with the group company, and the president has signed off on it."

That simple sentence extinguished all their last remaining thoughts. Now, thinking back to Guan Lu's outburst threatening to complain about Wang Jingjing at the company, everyone suddenly felt like laughing.

Whom are you complaining about?

The project investors and the group company have already been confirmed, so who are you trying to impress with your antics?

Wang Jingjing changed the subject and continued, "If you feel there's a problem, you can withdraw your investment now. This promise is only valid until the end of the workday today. After the end of the workday today, there can only be one voice on this project."

The domineering words were not diminished in the slightest by Wang Jingjing's beautiful face.

Li Tianming didn't say anything more, because he knew very well that he didn't have much say in this project, and it would be useless for him to speak up.

The screenwriters and staff from various departments present exchanged glances, but no one said anything more.

Everyone knows that too much noise before a battle will inevitably lead to defeat.

Now that the voices are unified, even if it's in the hands of Director Wang Jingjing instead of Branch Manager Li Tianming, it's enough to bring everyone together.

Next, everyone worked together to sprint to launch the product.

If anyone tries to pull any more dirty tricks, they'll be going against everyone.

This is the most crucial role of this meeting.

Company meetings are always used to unify thinking, not to solve specific problems. Specific problems are usually reported and resolved privately.

Wang Jingjing wanted to take control of the Tianhua branch, and she needed someone to sacrifice as a result.

Guan Lu has been in the workplace for so many years and is still just a junior manager. Sometimes he can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent, and he can't see which path to choose.

It's one thing if he didn't participate in the investment, but he still kept talking nonsense at the meeting. So you can't blame Wang Jingjing for making an example of him.

"Meeting adjourned!"

As Wang Jingjing finished her casual conversation, a system notification appeared.
