Yang Yajing guessed that Xia Changlong was probably fuming right now, and she chuckled to herself.

For some reason, she didn't feel any fear or restraint towards this investment tycoon whom everyone respected.

Perhaps it was because our first meeting was in a private setting? There wasn't that sense of hierarchy or client-client dynamic that came with preconceived notions.

In her view, Xia Changlong was more like a close friend despite the age gap, like Uncle Xu's friend, or an ordinary elder.

Having finished her teasing, Yang Yajing's next text message was more normal: "Same as you, I also have monthly settlements, managed by the finance department! Little Fairy is just taking off right now, only a few hundred thousand, but it will be more this year. However, once the investment is recouped, it will drop to 10%!"

"Such arrogance? You think you can pay back the principal in just one year?" Xia Changlong thought Yang Yajing was too optimistic.

"As long as Yu Ning doesn't go under, there will be plenty of orders, no problem for a year!" Yang Yajing replied. "If you have any resources, remember to give them to Yu Ning. Giving them to her is making money for your own company."

"Our own?" Xia Changlong narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Perhaps it's time to give the entertainment sector a try!"

As if she had guessed Xia Changlong's thoughts, Yang Yajing quickly replied: "Don't invest recklessly. I'll remind you if there are any good film and entertainment projects."

Xia Changlong didn't bother replying to the text message after seeing this; typing was slow and troublesome. He simply made a phone call instead: "Why do you care what I invest in? Do you even know anything about entertainment?"

“You’re much more knowledgeable than an old fogey like you who doesn’t watch TV! We’re targeting the youth market, so you should admit you’re getting old.” Yang Yajing didn’t mince words.

The cell phones all had some sound leakage, and the meeting room was so quiet because of Xia Changlong's unusual behavior that everyone heard the conversation.

Everyone held their breath in dismay at the woman's voice on the other end of the phone. How could anyone dare to speak to Chairman Xia like that? Did she even want to keep her head on the line?

But to everyone's surprise, Xia Changlong didn't get angry. Instead, he grinned mischievously and said, "Alright! Shall we take another gamble and see whose project is more profitable?"

Everyone was completely bewildered: Gambling? Was a company investment project something to be joked about?

But the words coming from the phone kept everyone's heads buzzing.

"Brother Xia, you still want to gamble? Don't you remember how badly you lost last time? Seriously, do you even remember the last year you went to the movies? If you don't, then don't mess around. I'm trying to save you money!"

Good heavens! Even Chairman Xia can be educated; there really exists someone like that in the world! I'm in awe! Absolutely in awe!

"I'm not talking anymore! I'm in a meeting! Why don't you find a more suitable time to call!" Xia Changlong really couldn't remember the last time he went to the movies, so he seriously found a way to back down.

However, everyone now has three lines on their foreheads: Chairman Xia! This phone call... seems to be the one you made to them... right?

After a serious meeting, Xia Changlong stopped Secretary Huang: "The girl said that someone named Yu Ning made a movie, which one?"

"Yu Ning? I know her! She's a newcomer, she filmed a period drama, it just premiered recently! My mom bought tickets yesterday to go see it," Secretary Huang replied.

"Book me two tickets, with better seats, and send them over to your teacher's wife!" Xia Changlong was referring to his wife, Tao Jiaxuan, who was known as "Aunt Tao."

"Mr. Xia wants to see a movie?" Secretary Huang asked, looking at his schedule with surprise.

"If I don't catch up with the trend soon, I'll be ridden on by little brats!" Xia Changlong snorted.

Secretary Huang found it amusing but dared not laugh: "This is hardly asking for it! Just now, you were clearly being ridden on my neck!"

Secretary Huang is now very eager to know who that amazing "little brat" is. He really wants to learn from her! She's incredible! So bold!

Yang Yajing hung up the phone and started paying attention to entertainment news, but before she could find any useful information, she heard on TV that there was a competition to solicit creative short films.

"Zhou Pengfei! Is Song Qi there?" Yang Yajing immediately made the call.

"I'm here, wait a moment." Zhou Pengfei's voice called out to Song Qi over the phone.

"Yang Yajing, you were looking for me?"

"Did you see the TV commercial? It's on Jinshi Entertainment Channel, they have a competition! A creative video!" Yang Yajing said. "I took pictures of the details and will send them to your email. Don't miss this opportunity!"

"What? Really? Send it over quickly!" Song Qi was very excited.

Having obtained the competition details and creative theme, Song Qi quickly brought his girlfriend and Zhou Pengfei into the discussion, and also had him contact Chen Jiaoyun and Yu Ning.

Recently, everyone has applied for QQ. You can have group chats without anyone being there, and it's free. It's so convenient.

"Meeting! We need to set up a working group; there's a competition!" Song Qi typed out.

"Think of a name for your work group, and I'll register it for you tomorrow! Remember to send me a copy of your ID card!" Yang Yajing said knowingly.

"Name? What should I call him?" Song Qi hadn't thought about these things. Apart from making videos, he was completely clueless about everything else.

“You’re the main character, and your girlfriend likes apples, so how about we call it ‘Green Apple Studio’?” Yang Yajing actually knew that Song Qi’s studio was called that in her previous life. In this life, she just made the studio appear earlier.

“Wow! ‘Green Apple’! I love it! Ah Qi, let’s call it that!” Song Qi’s girlfriend, Wang Bingjing, was the first to approve.

Anyway, it's Song Qi's studio, and the others have no objections at all; they're just guest participants!

And so, the next day, Green Apple Studio appeared.
