Fang Yang went to the front desk to identify himself and was immediately led to the elevator by the receptionist. "Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhou has already instructed that you can go up directly after you arrive, no appointment is needed."

The security guard stepped forward and pressed the elevator button. The receptionist swiped her card and pressed the button for the 18th floor. "Mr. Fang, please. Mr. Zhou's secretary is already waiting upstairs. You will see her when you go up."

After thanking the receptionist, ignoring Zhao Liang's winks and gestures, she stepped into the elevator, followed by Zhao Liang. The elevator doors closed, leading directly to the 18th floor.

Less than a minute later, the elevator dinged, indicating that it had arrived at the 18th floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, a graceful woman in professional attire immediately bowed and greeted her: "Are you Mr. Fang? Mr. Zhou is already waiting for you in his office. This way, please!"

Fang Yang and Zhao Liang followed closely behind and entered the innermost office. Zhou Haijun was already waiting at the door. "President Fang, welcome to Jinghua Film and Television!"

Fang Yang quickly grasped Zhou Haijun's outstretched hands, "Hello, President Zhou! I've long admired your name but never had the chance to meet you. Today, my wish has finally come true. You are truly awe-inspiring!"

Zhou Haijun is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a robust build, typical of a northern man. Fang Yang's praise is largely accurate.

Zhou Haijun led Fang Yang to a seat in the rest area. "President Fang, I heard from Xiao Xin that your TV series is about to start filming? Are you confident?"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Of course! Although this is my first time directing, I'm confident I can make a classic!"

"It's good to have confidence. Director Huang is also a veteran director. We should learn from him more often!"

Fang Yang obediently answered "yes." Zhao Liang, watching from the side, wanted to laugh. It seemed that these two future father-in-law and son-in-law were getting into their roles very quickly, and they were already teaching each other by example!

"The film set is a microcosm of society, especially since you're directing it all by yourself. So from the very beginning, you have to establish your authority and use your solid abilities to keep those people in check. Otherwise, you'll easily be sidelined. So you need to think carefully about how to deal with this!"

"Okay, I understand!"

"I will contact the cast and crew at Jinghua Film and Television to help you with your work. If you need anything, you can call me. Huang Xiaoping is at a crucial moment in his promotion and will absolutely not allow you to make mistakes. You can discuss and resolve any issues with him. As long as you are on the right track, you will definitely learn a lot from Huang Xiaoping."

"Okay, I understand!"

Zhou Haijun didn't say much. They were all at the level of general managers, and he didn't want to be long-winded. He looked at Zhao Liang and asked, "Xiao Liang, I heard you're planning to go to Fang Yang's place to take over the cinema chain business?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, I hope you'll give me some pointers then. Could you give me priority in arranging any movies for me?"

"What are you talking about? Movies will be shown in all theaters at any time. We'll have to beg you to give us more screen time!"

Zhao Liang patted his chest, "No doubt about it. If Uncle Zhou has any requests, I will definitely give them priority. Besides, we're not strangers!"

Zhou Haijun asked in confusion, "Oh, what brings you to that?"

Fang Yang was a little annoyed. This kid hadn't even had a drink yet and he was already talking nonsense. Now, with Zhou Haijun in front of him, he couldn't do anything.

Just as she was getting anxious, Zhou Xin pushed the door open and came in. "Fang Yang, I heard you were coming, but you didn't even tell me beforehand. Is there something you're trying to hide from me?"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "How could that be? I was thinking that since you were at the company, how could my whereabouts escape your sharp eyes? That's why you found out immediately!"

Zhou Xin patted Fang Yang on the shoulder, "You know how to talk. So, how's our company doing?"

Fang Yang shrugged, "If this is considered acceptable, then my place is a complete makeshift operation!"

As they were talking, Guan Yue knocked on the door and came in. "President Zhou, all the senior executives have arrived and are just waiting for you and President Fang."

Zhou Haijun stood up, patted Fang Yang on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go to the conference room and discuss the specifics of our in-depth cooperation."

The meeting lasted until 5 p.m., and all the details, except for those of the attendees, were kept confidential.

After the meeting, Zhou Haijun, along with other senior executives from the company, invited Fang Yang and Zhao Liang to dinner. Fang Yang kept his distance from the group of heavy drinkers, while Zhao Liang had to drive. The two of them avoided the drinking session and simply enjoyed the food, chatting with Zhou Haijun from time to time.

Fang Yang relied entirely on Yang Huajin to manage the company. This time, he met Zhou Haijun, which was a good opportunity to learn from him. Zhou Haijun was not annoyed and patiently explained the issues of company management to Fang Yang, which Fang Yang found very helpful.

After a night's rest, Fang Yang and Zhao Liang washed up and walked to a breakfast shop next to the school for breakfast. Seeing that it was still early, the two discussed going for a walk in the college's Stein Garden.

The Stein Garden has more than 30 kinds of plants. If you go now, you can breathe in the fragrant air in the early morning and give your lungs a little shower.

When Fang Yang and Zhao Liang were in school, they often came to Stein Garden for a walk to breathe fresh air and relieve the stress of studying. So when they revisited the place, the first thing they thought of was to come here for a walk to digest their food.

After wandering around for a while, seeing that it was almost time, the two headed towards the auditorium. Along the way, groups of younger students were converging on the auditorium from all directions, and the closer they got to the auditorium, the more lively it became.

"Yoko, it seems you're quite popular among the younger students!"

"It's probably because the school issued a notice; you know the ins and outs of it."

"It's hard to say. Your songs are very popular now, especially at the Central Conservatory of Music. You're a role model for your juniors. Opportunities to get close to your idol like this are rare!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the auditorium, and students entered one after another. Fang Yang and Zhao Liang also mingled among them. Although Fang Yang was the idol of the younger students, not many could recognize him at a glance. This was mainly because Fang Yang rarely appeared in public, which led to him not being noticed even when he was right in front of them.

Fang Yang was the main character, so he was naturally seated in the front row. Zhao Liang also got a seat in the second row. Wang Jin was already waiting in the front row. As soon as he saw the two of them coming over, he immediately waved and called them over.

"Professor, you're here so early!"

"I need to arrange for you, the lecturer, to experience the feeling of coming home immediately. So, have you decided what to talk about in today's class?"

"Logically speaking, I graduated from the instrumental music department, so my lectures should be about instrumental music. However, all my instrumental music knowledge was taught by my mentor, and I'm not confident that I can teach better than my mentor. So how about I talk about some of my experiences in composing music and lyrics today?"

"Sure, they do study theoretical knowledge regularly. If you can give them some inspiration in composing music and lyrics, and produce a few talented people in this field, that would be a great success."

"Alright then, that's exactly what I'm good at!"
