Every year-end is a busy time for all industries, and Shi Jing's company is no exception.

As the year draws to a close, various activities are springing up, and the release of various TV series and movies is also being actively scheduled.

Shi Jing and her company's self-produced dramas have been released one after another. The movies are doing well, with Tianyu involved, which has helped them open up the market.

The TV series, however, went through a selection process and chose a platform with which it had a prior working relationship and a good connection to broadcast it.

It was only at this point that Shi Jing realized that the family of the child she had saved was not simple.

In fact, over the past six months, when Shi Jing went to Dingdu, she would occasionally contact that family and sometimes meet the children at their invitation.

Over time, the relationship between the two sides became closer.

However, they rarely talked about their lives and work, so Shi Jing never knew what the other did.

It wasn't until the end of the year, when Shi Jing was invited to attend the other company's annual meeting due to the generally good working relationship between the two companies, that Shi Jing learned about Su Jiujiu's work.

It turns out that the other party is one of the major shareholders of the Lezi video platform!

Su Jiujiu was also surprised when she saw Shi Jing, obviously because the other party did not know Shi Jing's specific situation before.

The two sides only crossed paths because of Tang Bao, and this was their first meeting outside of Tang Bao.

The two got along quite well. Although they were a little surprised, they quickly greeted each other warmly.

"Sister Su, what a coincidence."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be the chairman behind Shiyun." Su Jiujiu walked over with a wine glass, clinked glasses with Shi Jing, and the two exchanged warm greetings. "How are things? School's out for break, right?"

"Yes, we're already on holiday."

"That's great! Have you had time lately? Tang Bao has been missing you and has been talking about you to me several times."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing's eyes crinkled with laughter. Tang Bao was indeed a very cute child.

“I’ve been busy with the capital preparations lately, so I have time,” Shi Jing said with a smile. “But it’s almost Chinese New Year, so it must be very lively outside. If Sister Su doesn’t mind, you can bring Tang Bao to my house to play.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you later.” Su Jiujiu readily agreed, and then said, “Come on, let me introduce you to a few shareholders.”

Su Jiujiu is a major shareholder of Lezi, and the people she introduces are mostly high-level figures in Lezi, which will be of considerable benefit to future cooperation and development.

Shi Jing appreciated the gesture and followed Su Jiujiu, getting to know many people along the way.

One of the women who had a good relationship with Su Jiujiu showed a hint of interest after Su Jiujiu introduced the Time Mirror.

"So it was Miss Shi who saved Tang Bao back then! I've heard so much about you!" This Mr. Huang was very enthusiastic and treated Shi Jing with a kind smile.

Although he didn't understand why the other party was being so enthusiastic, Shi Jing still responded politely: "Mr. Huang, you're too kind."

Su Jiujiu smiled and said, "Huang Yue is Tang Bao's godmother. She had mentioned to me a long time ago that she wanted to meet you, but she never had the time. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today."

I see.

Shi Jing now understood why the other party was being so nice.

"I never expected that Miss Shi would be the owner of Shiyun. We should cooperate more in the future."

“It is my honor to cooperate with Lezi,” Shi Jing replied.

Su Jiujiu also chimed in, "Huang Yue, you have a big S+ drama to prepare recently, you could also consider Xiao Jing and her artists."

"Don't worry, we won't forget our benefactor."

It's clear that Huang Yue and Su Jiujiu have a very good relationship; their interactions are quite intimate.

"The pre-production of this drama is almost complete, but there are still a few actors who haven't been cast. If Ms. Shi is interested, we can have some of the company's artists come and audition," Huang Yue said. "Currently, we are still missing the second and third male leads and the third female lead, but for the sake of the drama, we still need to have them audition. As for the other minor roles, those that are not very important can be arranged easily."

"Of course, it's great to have an audition opportunity." Shi Jing herself is also an investor, so she naturally knows that investments are all about making money. Compared to those productions that randomly throw in actors and end up making a mess of the production and the show, she feels more at ease if the production team has strict control over the actors.

For big-budget productions on a streaming platform, there are many people watching, so having even one audition opportunity is a great privilege.

After they chatted for a while, Huang Yue sent her the casting director's contact information so that her staff could easily contact him.

After finishing their business, Su Jiujiu and Huang Yue had some acquaintances to entertain, so they left first. Shi Jing soon found Jin Ye'an as well.

Lezi's annual meeting isn't just for investors and employees; some of the celebrities Lezi collaborates with also attend, naturally including a red carpet event. Shiyun Agency also collaborates with Lezi, and some of its artists participate as well.

Shi Jing, as the boss, doesn't need to worry about the artists' red carpet appearances, but Jin Ye'an, as the management director, has to pay more attention to them.

Of the artists in their company, only one male actor is currently quite famous; the others have only recently appeared in web dramas to gain some initial recognition, so naturally they are given more screen time.

When she arrived, everyone except the male celebrity had already left, leaving only the male actor.

Meanwhile, it seems that the male actor and other guests are having some issues with their entrance, and Jin Ye'an is negotiating with the person in charge of the red carpet segment.

"What's going on?" Shi Jing asked Jin Ye'an's assistant.

The assistant then noticed Shi Jing's arrival and was startled. She quickly explained, "Jiang Qi insisted on appearing after Xiang Wan, and he's making a scene right now."

"Shouldn't the artist appearances have been arranged in advance? Why did something suddenly go wrong?"

"It was arranged a long time ago, but the other party objected and refused to leave early."

Shi Jing could roughly understand the other party's intentions, but since Jin Ye'an was handling this matter, it wasn't appropriate for her to interfere.

Jin Ye'an is a shrewd woman. I don't know how they communicated, but the red carpet ceremony proceeded smoothly.

After all the celebrities had walked the red carpet, they finally had time to enter the inner area.

Seeing that she was really busy, Shi Jing didn't want to bother her anymore. They decided to talk about the audition when they got back to the company.

She returned to the inner area, but before she had gone far, she saw that familiar figure again.

Shi Jing frowned as she looked at Zhao Lianyu, who was smiling at her from not far away.

Things don't happen more than three times. This is the third time the other party has appeared in front of her. Is it really possible for such a coincidence?
