Emerald gently reached out and pinched Julia's cheek, but her words were quite cold:
"Don't forget you still owe me a huge sum of money. If you dare to run away, no matter where you go, I'll drag you back to work and pay off your debt! And the debt and interest will be doubled!"
"Goo~~~~ I won't run away. I've actually already prepared myself to work for you, Emery, for the rest of my life."
Yulia shrank back.
Whenever the topic of debt comes up, Yulia is a little afraid of Emerald, but she also has a strange feeling in her heart, as if she enjoys being bullied like this... So Yulia becomes even more afraid, and can only quickly skip over the topic of debt every time it comes up.
As before, Julia pointed again at the frozen magical image:
"In short, this scene is no good and must be changed! This kind of scene that could be seen as enticing others to peek under my skirt is wrong! I know that your magical armor is very powerful, but it can't possibly block everyone's view, right? What if there is someone who is very powerful but also perverted? Even though you are in the fusion stage, you still like to tease girls and look under their skirts, that would be terrible."
"..."
Amelie's eyelids twitched; she felt as if she had been shot innocently.
She could only sigh:
"Alright, alright, since you're unwilling, Yulia, I'll use other people to post the fan service scenes in the movies from now on. I'll delete this part later... Anything else?"
"Yes, and here too!"
Yulia's face flushed again, but this time it was more from anger.
She controlled the magical image to fast forward a bit, freezing it on a new scene.
That was a scene she wanted to investigate herself but was obsessed with peeping at the daily lives of the elves. In the scene, Yulia was lying on a rooftop, her buttocks sticking out, her eyes intently staring at a window hundreds of meters away... or rather, several elven slaves entertaining themselves inside the window.
If this scene were filmed from the front, it wouldn't be a problem, but Emeryte chose to film it from behind, making Julia's peeking with her butt sticking out look both ridiculous and stupid.
"Well, this was originally a scene I planned to use for fan service. Since you don't like it, I'll just delete it later."
This time, Emery readily agreed and assured Julia:
"Don't worry, I won't make any more shots like that... at least not in the version shown to the audience."
You can't even keep it to secretly read it yourself!
Julia immediately understood Emerald's subtext, blushing and coquettishly retorting:
"You already have two beautiful women, Marcy and Anna, at your beck and call, why are you still lusting after other women all the time? I'm not showing them to you!"
"It's not my fault."
Emery shrugged and sold the cat without hesitation:
"It's all Pancake's fault. I only asked it to record your every move, but I never said I would ask it to film this kind of scene... You should go and protest to Pancake."
"So it was that wicked cat, Pancake, who did this? How awful!"
Yulia believed it immediately, stamping her foot and snorting:
"That cesium cat, I'm going to steal its cat food later... Speaking of which, Pancake's cat food is pretty good."
"Because it wasn't ordinary cat food. I had the chef specially make some delicacies into cat food, and it was even several times more expensive than normal food."
Emery shrugged:
"Otherwise, why do you think Pancake would work for me without pay, just asking for cat food? It's because this kind of cat food can't be bought anywhere else. It's an exclusive technology I developed to control him, and it easily won over that greedy cat."
"So that's why I bought other cat food when I went out to try it, but it tasted terrible and couldn't compare to the pancake brand at all... Ugh!"
Yulia suddenly realized what was happening and muttered a few more words to herself, but then she met Amelie's eyes, which were clearly trying to suppress a laugh, and realized that she had exposed her embarrassing past again.
"Gurgle~~~~ Mmmmmm!"
Yulia, feeling incredibly ashamed, made strange noises and looked around erratically, trying to find a topic to change the subject.
And she actually found it.
Julia pointed to Emerald's desk:
"By the way, I saw you writing something, Emery?"
"Oh, you mean this... just a simple draft plan."
Amelie didn't press Julia further; instead, she changed the subject and even showed Julia some of her earlier writings.
"This first feature film is almost finished, and of course, it will be shown to everyone after it's done. But right now, there aren't any places specifically for watching movies, since movies are something I invented... So when the film is first released, I plan to rent some opera houses and concert halls for screening. This sheet of paper is basically the list of opera houses and concert halls I've selected. I'll have Fatty Wei take some people to negotiate later."
Chapter 108 Emerald, how many good senior sisters do you have?
The preview version of the movie is already out, so the official version can't be far behind.
A few days later, Emery re-edited and produced a new version of the movie, which was shown to Julia and the others again. This time there were no problems, and everyone thought it was great.
Even Viliana, the villain in the film, showed no sadness when she saw Yulia beat her hard with her Mind Correction Fist; instead, she shouted with excitement:
"Yes! Yes! That's it! Humans are invincible! These arrogant and ignorant stupid elves deserve to be taught a lesson!"
She had completely sided with humanity and despised all her fellow elves.
Once the film is completed, the next step is naturally to schedule its release.
Emery's plan was to rent as many opera houses and concert halls as possible throughout the Federation, and to screen the film simultaneously in all regions on the same day, with eight screenings per day for a week.
Ticket prices are divided into two tiers.
Most opera houses and concert halls in the United States have VIP boxes, which are reserved for wealthy and powerful clients.
Amelie intended to sell these VIP tickets at a higher price, 5000 Rons each. After all, wealthy people don't lack that amount of money; if you charge too low, they'll feel like they're lowering their status.
Amelie wasn't worried about selling VIP tickets at all. Wealthy people like to try new things when it comes to entertainment, especially since this was a new entertainment project created by Miss Melson. Everyone who does business with the Melson Group should make time to support it.
What really requires Emery's attention is the ordinary tickets that the common people buy. The initial price of these tickets is very important. As cinemas become more widespread in the Federation, it's best if the ticket prices don't differ too much.
To this end, Amelie dug out some of the things she used at school again, looked at her notes from economics classes, studied the consumption habits and purchasing power of commoners in the Federation, and finally set the price of a regular ticket at 68 Luns.
The film production is complete, ticket prices are set, and the premiere date is decided. The final step is to see how many opera houses and concert halls can be rented as temporary cinemas.
Locke City is definitely fine. It's firmly under Amelie's control. Fat Vie completed the task in less than half a day, signing agreements with all two opera houses and one concert hall in the city. They will cancel all previous performances and fully cooperate with Amelie's film premiere plan.
However, the rental of opera houses and concert halls outside of Locke City encountered significant resistance.
It wasn't that the opera houses and concert halls were unwilling to give face to Emery, the eldest daughter of the Melson family; if Emery only wanted to rent the venue for a day, they would have agreed immediately. The problem was that Emery wanted to rent it for a week.
Most opera houses and concert halls may not have performances every day, but they certainly have several performances a week, and most of these performances are booked more than a month in advance, with accompanying promotional materials.
By doing this, Emeryt is not only causing opera houses and concert halls to break their promises and cancel on the performance team, but also wasting the initial publicity investment and offending clients.
Those who have nothing better to do and like to go to opera houses and concert halls are mostly wealthy people, so the operators of opera houses and concert halls dare not provoke the anger of their customers.
So, with almost no hesitation, the opera houses and concert halls outside Locke declined Emerald's request.
"Tsk, what a bunch of ungrateful idiots! I'm going to help them get rich, and instead of being grateful, they dare to refuse me?"
After receiving more than 20 rejection letters, even though Amelie was very well-mannered, she couldn't help but lightly tap the table and complain in a low voice.
But despite the complaints, the work still had to be done. If the premiere of the first big movie was only in Locke City, it was clearly not enough.
Locke City is only a third-tier city with too little influence. It needs to rent venues in the capital and several other major cities to launch together.
If it weren't during the entrepreneurial trial period, this would be easy to handle; Amelie could simply have her family put in a good word with the opera houses and concert halls. In the Allen Federation, not many people would be willing to embarrass Melson over such a trivial matter, and Melson would certainly compensate them for the rent.
But now Amelie can only borrow the reputation of the Melson family in vain, and can't actually use any of the Melson family's resources. So her title as the young lady is not so useful anymore... At least people are unwilling to offend more wealthy clients in order to please her.
Therefore, Emery could only try to use her connections.
Besides the Melson family, where does Emerald's biggest connection lie? It's undoubtedly the Federal Noble Girls' Academy. This is a truly elite girls' school; all nearly 1500 students are daughters of powerful local families, with not a single commoner among them.
The stories in many novels and games on Earth about commoner girls getting into elite girls' schools and having a wild time are completely impossible in the Federation's elite girls' academies, because commoner girls simply cannot get in.
Besides strict identity verification, the high tuition fees are also a major obstacle. Without a wealthy family to support them, young girls simply cannot afford the tuition.
Working as a waiter in a restaurant to earn tuition? That's laughable. You couldn't possibly earn enough for tuition even if you worked in a brothel, let alone a restaurant.
Therefore, when Amelie went to school, all of her classmates were young ladies from wealthy families, including some from top aristocratic and political families.
Of course, even in a school full of rich heiresses, Miss Melson was at the very top of the pyramid. Therefore, she was often fawned over at school, and she accepted all advances without hesitation. She was known for her manipulative nature, often denying anything after mentioning her skirt.
However, the fact that she earned the reputation of being a "bad girl" is enough to show that Amelie had a wide social circle during her school days. Her small bed in the dormitory had countless upperclassmen and underclassmen staying overnight.
Amelie originally wanted to avoid getting involved with the upperclassmen and underclassmen as much as possible. Although most of them were just playing around with her, there were still a few girls who insisted on being her best friends for life.
But now there's no other way. Emery can't accept that her movie only premiered in Locke City, so she has to contact her reliable senior classmates again.
After all, many of the female students haven't graduated yet, and even if they have, they've only just graduated, so it's difficult for them to have much influence at home.
The situation is different for the older female students. Amelie has been out of school for almost a year now, and they've been in the workforce for much longer. Some have already started their own businesses, some have inherited family businesses, and some have even gotten married and become successful, independent women.
Amelie asked Marcy to find her a stack of slightly scented stationery that young girls liked to use, and then she picked up her pen and began writing letters to her senior classmates.
[Senior Susan, do you remember that night when it was pouring rain? Our clothes were soaked through, and we found warmth in each other using the most basic method...]
【Senior Matilda, do you remember that slightly chilly morning? You were strolling in the garden when you tripped and fell right under my skirt, and then we tumbled into the flowerbed together…】
[Senior Qiong, do you remember that sunny afternoon? We happened to skip class and bumped into each other in the school's coffee shop, flirting and teasing each other under the table while drinking coffee...]
……
Emery wrote more than twenty letters in one go, reminiscing about the good old days.
"Amelie, you have so many old flames."
After spending most of the day helping people, Julia returned to the company to rest and happened to see Amelie writing a letter. Curious, she went over to peek at it, only to find that it was full of cheesy love letters. She pouted and was a little unhappy.
"...What? Yulia, are you jealous?"
As Emerald put the letter she had written into the envelope and wrote the address, she looked up and smiled at Julia:
"Then I'll write you one too? What style do you like?"
"I don't like your tricks for fooling young girls! Humph!"
Yulia immediately stomped her foot, then proudly raised her head:
"Back in school, I was the school beauty. I received so many love letters every day my desk drawers would overflow, including many from cute younger girls. What kind of love letters haven't I read? I'm not interested~~"
That's what she said, but after glancing at the letters Emeryt had written, Julia still unconsciously puffed out her cheeks:
“...Emerite!”
"what happened?"
Emery continued working calmly, without even lifting her eyelids.
"Scumbag!"
Biting her lip, Yulia huffed angrily:
"Did you really have that kind of relationship with all the senior girls you wrote to? Is life at your elite girls' school really that promiscuous?"
"Hmph, what do you think?"
This time, Emery didn't answer; it was Pancake, who had just flown in through the window, who spoke.
It glanced at Emerald, patted its chubby belly, and said in a strange voice:
"What else can a group of wealthy, promising teenage girls do when they get together? Whether they play in a band, do figure drawing, or do flower arranging, the ultimate goal is to make money. What kind of Federal Noble Girls' Academy is this? I'd call it a Money-Making Space."
"Pancake, shut up!"
Emerald finally couldn't help but raise her head and glare fiercely at the pancake, before shrugging at the curious Julia:
"Don't listen to this stupid cat's nonsense... What it says is indeed part of the truth, but it's only the surface of the matter. Besides being a place for young ladies like me to learn various kinds of knowledge and improve ourselves, the Federal Noble Girls' Academy is also a huge social platform, making it convenient for daughters of the wealthy and powerful from all over the Federation to get to know each other. Those upperclassmen and underclassmen deliberately create various chance encounters to seduce me, but it's only because my surname is Melson. Most people don't actually like me, and some even call me a bitch behind my back."
"...Even so, Emerald, you still took advantage of their bodies, didn't you?"
Yulia's expression improved slightly, but not by much:
"In short, you're a scumbag, humph! As someone who works for you, I have to protect myself. I absolutely cannot be fooled by you. I will never fall for your tricks and end up in your bed!"
"Yeah, right, right..."
Emery responded rather perfunctorily:
"Yulia, you don't like me at all. You've never even fantasized about getting into my bed. You're never envious when you secretly watch Marcy and Anna serving me together, right? I know all that~~~~"
"You...! Humph!"
Yulia's face turned bright red instantly, and steam was practically rising from her head.
She couldn't stand being in the CEO's office for even a second longer, so she smashed her head against the window and fled in a sorry state.
"...Meow meow meow."
Pancake watched all this, barked twice, and chased after them, leaving behind a sound that didn't ring out until almost half a minute later:
