After the arrangements in the capital were completed, Shi Jing began to make arrangements for establishing a new capital.

Although it was called an arrangement, there wasn't much for her to actually do. Miao Chen had already bought the plane tickets, and all she needed to do was arrange the nanny's year-end benefits.

Shi Jing initially wanted to buy some New Year's gifts, but she had never prepared such things before and didn't know what to buy. She did search online and found suggestions such as gift cards, fruit and snack gift packs, and electronic products.

After reviewing the situation and summarizing, I decided to just give out the bonus directly.

With that in mind, Shi Jing simply bought a red envelope and made a large red envelope.

She packed a few clothes and, once ready, headed to Dingdu.

However, before she could even set off, she received an unexpected phone call.

"Hello Director Qi, this is Shi Jing." Shi Jing was quite surprised to receive the call.

Since giving out her business card, Shi Jing hadn't received a call from Director Qi. Although there was no news about his new film in the industry, she had long since given up hope of investing in it. She never expected that several months later, she would suddenly receive a call from Director Qi.

“Ms. Shi,” Director Qi’s voice hesitated on the other end of the phone before he finally said, “Does your previous investment intention still stand?”

Shi Jing was slightly surprised. She remembered that Director Qi was indifferent to her investment intentions at that time and didn't care much about them. Why did he seem so eager now?

She neither agreed nor refused outright. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Director Qi, I am naturally willing to invest, but we need to discuss the specifics further."

"Of course, of course," Director Qi quickly replied.

"Alright. I'm heading to Dingdu tomorrow. If it's convenient for you, would you like to visit my company?"

"Okay," Director Qi agreed immediately.

After Shi Jing conceived the idea of ​​investing in films, An Chunian began keeping an eye out for film investment projects, and several projects have already been approved quickly. Shi Jing isn't particularly attached to Director Qi's new film. However, having been interested in it before, he still hopes the project will come to fruition.

Thinking of this, Shi Jing called An Chunian: "Check if Director Qi's new movie has encountered any problems."

She briefly gave Director Qi's phone number and asked him to check the details.

Unexpectedly, An Chunian gave the answer directly. It turned out that ever since Shi Jing mentioned his intention to invest, he had been paying attention to this matter and had some understanding of what happened afterward.

After hearing this, Shi Jing was also somewhat moved, as the events were indeed quite coincidental.

When Shi Jing first met Director Qi, Director Qi was somewhat interested in Shi Jing's proposal, but ultimately he wasn't moved.

For Director Qi, although funds were insufficient, he had accumulated some wealth, and he could afford to make this film even if he funded it himself. Investment was a bonus, not a necessity. What truly troubled him was the issue of theater distribution.

Originally, this problem was not unsolvable.

Director Qi had a girlfriend of many years, who was none other than the heiress of "Tianyu". Director Qi's blacklisting in the industry was somewhat related to Tianyu. According to An Chunian's investigation, the reason why Director Qi offended the industry's leading company was also related to this girlfriend.

The cause was a classic business alliance. Tianyu, as a long-established cinema chain, was still a force to be reckoned with, even in its weakened state. Currently, Tianyu's head only has one daughter, and many companies were interested in a marriage alliance with her. Due to the circumstances, the only one truly capable of securing such an alliance was the industry leader.

However, the marriage plan obviously failed. His chosen fiancée was snatched away, and Director Qi was the first to be targeted. Even Tianyu Cinemas was targeted.

Of course, this is what An Chunian could find out on the surface; whether it is actually true or not, only the parties involved would know.

Shi Jing wasn't particularly curious about the content, but she was somewhat surprised that Director Qi would consider her investment since the theater distribution problem couldn't be solved. She didn't have any suitable theaters available.

Although somewhat puzzled, Shi Jing still arranged to meet with Director Qi as usual. Meeting wouldn't hurt; they could see the other party's true intentions later.

The next day, Shi Jing and Miao Chen went to Dingdu as agreed.

She asked Jin Ye'an to draft a brokerage contract and sent it to Qi Shuang. She also looked at several companies and a few plots of land.

The office space is already a bit cramped. Shi Jing wants to move to a larger office space, but he hasn't been able to find a suitable commercial building. After looking around, he's decided to buy a piece of land and build his own.

She hadn't yet decided where to build the new office building.

The planning for establishing the capital is now quite mature. The vacant land area within the capital city is not large, while the larger areas are mostly located outside the city. The area is sufficient, but transportation is not very convenient.

The artists and management are relatively well off, as they all drive themselves. However, some ordinary employees have to take the subway to work, and if they were moved to a more remote location, commuting would likely be inconvenient.

Shi Jing looked at several plots of land, but was not very satisfied with any of them.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, she couldn't spend all her time on this, so after two days, she had to put it on hold.

The time she had arranged with Director Qi had arrived.

Director Qi wasn't the only one who came that day. Accompanying him was a woman, a very beautiful woman with an elegant and innocent air about her.

Looking at this woman, Shi Jing couldn't help but wonder if this woman was the young lady from the Tianyu Cinema family that An Chunian had mentioned.

Soon, Shi Jing confirmed his idea.

Facing Shi Jing, Director Qi earnestly introduced the woman beside him: "Hello, Miss Shi, this is Fang Xue."

Fang Zheng is the surname of the head of "Tianyu".

"Director Qi, hello; Ms. Fang, hello. Please have a seat."

Inside the reception room, Shi Jing politely greeted the two and invited them to sit down. By this time, she was fairly certain that the other party's true intentions this time were not what they seemed; investing in the new film was probably not their primary goal.

Shi Jing was quite curious about the other party's purpose in coming this time.

After everyone was seated, the secretary soon brought out tea.

Shi Jing didn't like beating around the bush, so he asked directly, "Director Qi, I wonder if you have any plans for the investment this time?"

“Ms. Shi, to be honest, we’re not here just for film investment,” Director Qi said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Then what is it for?"

Director Qi didn't mince words and said directly, "I've heard that Shiyun is looking for a piece of land for commercial use. Tianyu has a piece of land in Yangdong. I wonder if Miss Shi would be interested?"
