With a definite result in mind, everyone started chatting.

Not mentioning negotiations again could also lead to negative results.

If it really works out, they will also benefit.

I just complained that I didn't realize it before, but in the last two years I've discovered that Yan is really like a tough nut to crack, very difficult to chew.

Especially as some industries have developed and gained confidence, they have straightened their backs and become even more aggressive.

During the conversation, someone mentioned the key point.

"But don't forget, no matter what, Yun Zhao finally agreed to participate, we absolutely cannot let them back down."

"The special medicine is just a side effect. The main purpose is to show those self-proclaimed neutral fence-sitters who want to avoid provoking Yan that Yan is not that powerful. They are just scaring themselves."

"...Even so, have you considered that Yan Kingdom is so confident now, and we have many more mysterious research and methods that we don't know anything about? What if they perform very well in the survival challenge, which scares those fair-weather friends and makes them defect?"

"...The sooner the results are out, the better, so we can deal with it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to take action on other matters."

As for what the other matters were, some people understood, some were confused, and no one bothered to investigate further.

It's really a battle for control; our current position is very important.

This survival challenge is a selection process.

If they sided with Yan now, they wouldn't need to go to great lengths to win them over, nor would they need to disclose too much information, thus preventing the news from leaking out.

It doesn't matter if you're unaware of it, as long as you know it's about distinguishing between friend and foe.

But in reality, many of the enemies were likely pushed onto the Yan Kingdom during this process.

Some people don't know why this is being done, are they really not going to care?

When Meng Xiu received feedback, it seemed they were still trying to coax him into lifting the limit on the number of people. Even if they couldn't, they hoped for more spots, claiming that there were so many people in Hollywood who admired Yun Zhao's skills and wanted to exchange ideas.

There are only twelve people; it's not a good choice to pick anyone!

Meng Xiu smiled; as expected, President Liu was right.

As for who to choose or not to choose, that's none of his business.

Twelve, no more than that.

What's even more ingenious is that Meng Xiu has evolved, directly stating that the other party came for the sake of the production team, so all expenses incurred should be borne by the production team, as Yun Zhao has many people and projects and does not have such a budget.

They're clearly here to scheme against them, and they want Yun Zhao to spend money and effort to entertain them?

Hehe, what are you thinking about? It's so beautiful.

Liu Yun agreed, and reminded Meng Xiu to transfer the event funds before they came so that arrangements could be made.

Otherwise, if the money isn't in place and the hospitality isn't good, don't blame Yun Zhao.

This is to say the unpleasant thing upfront.

Yun Zhao thought he was a man of his word, and that if you don't have money, you shouldn't even think about anything.

Meng Xiu: ...Yes, I've learned something.

Liu Yun said that all the funds transferred for the event had been calculated. If that didn't work, she could find a professional to calculate it, as Yun Zhao's finance department had quite a few talented people.

Yun Zhao will contribute one-tenth of the funds to Meng Xiu as a reward for his hard work.

Meng Xiu's spirits lifted. He wasn't short of money, but earning this kind of money was fun, exciting, and addictive.

"Actually, Mr. Liu, if we cut back on the budget a little, we could save about one-tenth of the amount, without needing Yun Zhao to pay for it."

Liu Yun stopped her, saying, "No need. We can't let them find even the slightest fault in this matter. We'll do whatever it takes for them to pay. We're already being kind by not cheating them or raising prices."

"No matter how they investigate, they won't find any evidence against them."

"Take this reward. You know Yun Zhao doesn't lack this much... We still need a stipend for your hard work. Life is better now, and everyone should live well."

If we're going to save money, where is one-tenth of it?

Half of it can be pried off.

However, this means that a portion of the profit comes from the seller's revenue. For example, hotels will definitely offer discounts on accommodation fees, so they earn less.

Let's forget about squeezing money from our own family!

“They’ve come with ill intentions and ulterior motives. Don’t leave any evidence against us. Be careful, otherwise, I suspect they’ll use this as an excuse to make trouble. If we’re not in the right, they might get away with it.”

"That little bit of money isn't very useful; the main point is to prevent them from having any opportunities."

Meng Xiu learned his lesson; that little bit of money was indeed not important, the important thing was to be right in everything.

Don't tell me, really don't tell me.

When Meng Xiu suggested transferring the event funds to a designated account so that they could make arrangements for the reception, some people actually thought of that!

It felt like I had seized an opportunity and exploited a weakness.

These kinds of projects, frankly speaking, have some default rules. As long as things are done well, it's normal to make a little extra money.

Sometimes it's not even considered "scooping," it's just what's left over after use.

Or perhaps it could be considered a legitimate form of bribery!

According to their understanding, Yan Kingdom is no exception. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. And how can there be no little mice that don't steal food?

Suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope, a group of investors immediately approved the so-called activity funds and quickly transferred them to the designated account.

For example, the production team couldn't wait any longer.

Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems.

Meng Xiu: ...Really, I've never seen anyone pay so readily.

Moreover, the number was twice as many as those reported.

What's wrong? Are you afraid he won't make money, so you're offering him more incentives?

Fortunately, he didn't intend to take the route of saving money; as expected, President Liu had figured out the other party's tricks again.

Prices in Yan Country are really not that high.

Taking into account the currency exchange rate, the production team felt that this was not much compared to the expenses.

Meng Xiu didn't say much and kept quiet about it, which made the organizers think that the matter was settled. In the end... he couldn't resist the temptation of money. Perhaps they could talk about it privately after meeting.

Little did Meng Xiu know, he didn't want to alert the enemy.

Whether it's useful or not, we'll only know after using it. When the time comes, we'll settle the accounts and return any excess amounts after the decimal point.

To avoid being too direct in refusing, lest these people cause trouble again.

Once the funds were provided, the other party felt they had found a breakthrough and stopped mentioning the number of people.

It seems the production team was in a real rush. Once everything was finalized, they provided the list and medical reports the very next day, and even asked Yunzhao's people to go and verify the authenticity of the reports.

The staff from Yunzhao branch arrived quickly; they were professional doctors who examined the patients but found nothing wrong.

All I can say is that the medical examination report was watertight.

Yan Guofang acted quickly, immediately allowing the group to enter the country.

On the day they boarded the plane, the ten members of the team in charge of Yan were speechless with dark faces.

There were twelve people. They thought at least one or two people from the group could go, since someone had to stay behind to handle things, right?

To everyone's surprise, none of the ten of them brought anything!

If they hadn't sent a message to Yun Zhaofang and been waiting for a reply, they might not have even known when this so-called exchange group would go to Yan Country.

"Heh, I wonder who's in charge?"

"We hope Yun Zhao won't have to contact us and have us handle it remotely later!"

The group stared at their friend in shock. Could it be... he was right?
