Later, when they returned to the capital planet from Earth, Jiang Ran and Xu Yang did not say a word during the long journey of more than ten hours.

At first, Liang Feichen thought that they were just a young couple having a fight, so he took the initiative to talk to Jiang Ran.

He said politely, "My name is Liang Feichen. I'm Xu Yang's childhood friend and a shareholder of Blue Sky Culture. I've heard of you before, and now that I've met you in person, you're even more beautiful than I'd imagined."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly: "That's quite a coincidence. Not only have I heard of you, I've also seen you."

"Oh?" Liang Feichen asked excitedly, "When did it happen? I don't have any recollection of it."

"Two weeks ago, a friend and I went to see your assistant to ask if Feiyu Group was interested in investing in 'Back to Earth,' but we were rejected. You happened to come in when we were being kicked out by security, so we happened to see you."

Liang Feichen: "..."

Liang Feichen was extremely embarrassed. He was silent for a long time before he said angrily, "The new assistant is so ignorant! He didn't even come to discuss such an important matter with me!"

"Don't blame him, it's just work," Jiang Ran said with a faint smile. "After all, it doesn't take three or five months to figure out that a project like this is unreliable."

Liang Feichen: "..."

What do you mean by three to five months? Isn't that what Xu Yang said before?

After this round, Liang Feichen finally realized that Jiang Ran was really unhappy, and he stopped hanging around him.

He quietly sat back next to Xu Yang, without saying a word, but with a heavy expression on his face, he slowly patted Xu Yang's shoulder.

Brother, there is still a long way to go, keep working hard.

Xu Yang: “…”

How did things turn out like this?

After returning to the capital planet, Jiang Ran did not leave immediately, but went to the Blue Sky Culture corporate building with them first.

The one-week testing period has finally ended. There is still a lot of information that needs to be exported and integrated, including the photos and videos taken by Jiang Ran with the tracking ball, which will also become important reference materials for investment project ratings.

As soon as we entered the gate, Fu Bo and his group surrounded us.

Zeng Pei walked in front: "Why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Ran said modestly, "There were some misunderstandings on the way, which delayed us a bit."

"What misunderstanding?" Ren Xiayang asked curiously, "Is it resolved now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran nodded at first, then shook his head slightly after a few seconds.

Fu Bo was very puzzled: "Is this solved or not?"

"I think it should be considered resolved, but I'm not sure if the other party has this awareness."

Jiang Ran smiled politely. "After all, I thought this misunderstanding was ridiculous when I heard about it. I don't know where he got this brainwashing stuff from."

Zeng Pei heard this, put his arm around her shoulders and said sympathetically, "There's nothing strange in this world. Some people's minds are just weird. You'll never understand what's going on in their brains. It's like they've been infected with Toxoplasma."

Xu Yang, who was infected with Toxoplasma gondii: "..."

Jiang Ran and the others walked towards the meeting room while chatting and laughing, without stopping even once.

Xu Yang and Liang Feichen were originally following closely behind, but after a while they walked slower and slower, gradually widening the distance between them. When they entered the elevator, they even waited until the second group got on.

Xu Yang's hands and feet were a little stiff when he walked.

Why didn’t I realize before that Jiang Ran had such a strong desire for revenge?

Xu Yang was thinking when Liang Feichen patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Brother Yang, so many years have passed, and you really haven't changed at all."

Xu Yang looked at him expressionlessly. What was this guy talking about?

"...You still like to challenge yourself!" Liang Feichen sighed.

Xu Yang: “…”

Xu Yang was completely speechless.

Who is responsible for the current situation?

So this is what they call making the wrong friends?

However, no matter how many subtle ideas each of them had, once they entered the meeting room, everyone quickly got into work mode.

Jiang Ran's tracking ball, Xu Yang's light computer, other people's images... everything was placed on the desk.

After the staff exported all the data from the instrument, they first connected it to the large electronic screen in the conference room.

The leading staff member, standing at the front, said, "We'll quickly play the seven days' worth of footage on the screen. Because the footage hasn't been consolidated yet, there's no absolute order in the broadcast. We hope everyone will watch carefully from beginning to end to avoid missing any important information."

"Taking into account the special nature of recorded broadcasts, I hope that when you watch this, if you find any parts that involve privacy or are inconvenient to be made public, please record them on the small screen in front of you."

"We will hold another meeting later to conduct an internal vote to decide whether to delete the segment. If the internal decision is unanimous not to delete the segment, we will contact you individually to confirm the broadcast status."

"Once the final discussions are complete, all footage will be re-edited to become the official broadcast version. Once the broadcast time and channel are confirmed, we will promptly notify everyone to watch and get the latest information."

After a long paragraph, it’s finally over.

Jiang Ran felt tired just listening to it, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea.

They sat around the conference table, their eyes focused on the large electronic screen in front of them.

The light and shadow playback technology in the interstellar era is already very mature. There is no need to turn off the lights when playing video materials, and the bright light will not affect the visual effect of the picture quality at all.

However, due to the special nature of this broadcast - allowing everyone to filter out content that they think is not suitable for broadcast, the sound effects were not turned on when the images were shown to avoid showing any embarrassing content.

The tracking ball is pre-configured at the factory. In automatic shooting mode, it will automatically pause recording if the subject experiences physiological conditions. Therefore, the privacy mentioned by the staff earlier is, of course, "privacy" in a subjective sense.

For example, at this moment, the electronic screen is showing that everyone has dug a snow cave on the glacier and is preparing to hide in it for the night.

When Fu Bo saw this, he became extremely embarrassed and completely forgot what the staff had reminded him before. He just shouted "Stop" with a blushing face.

The staff member immediately and ruthlessly refused, saying, "The audio is muted. If you have any questions, just write down the time slot, the clip content, and the reason for your deletion on the small screen in front of you."

When Fu Bo heard this, he immediately lowered his head and began to write furiously.

When everyone around saw this, they looked at each other secretly and laughed silently.

If Fu Bo hadn't made such a loud noise, they wouldn't have been able to remember it for a while, but now they remember it clearly.

Isn’t the time when they spent the night in the snow cave the source of Fu Bo’s famous “bird shit” joke?

But Jiang Ran's happiness didn't last long.

The images were played out of order. Following the part where they spent the night in the snow cave, there was a scene where she and Xu Yang crossed the ice belt in search of the aurora.

Jiang Ran clearly remembered that he wanted to take pictures of a group of penguins swimming by, but he didn't handle it well and was almost blown away by the other party's wings.

No, no.

This kind of thing is not suitable to be edited into the main film for broadcast.

When Jiang Ran thought of this, he immediately lowered his head and started recording.

After racking his brains to make up all kinds of nonsense, he raised his head in a panic and saw Xu Yang also writing furiously.

Jiang Ran's shoulders immediately relaxed.

Oh, and she wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed during this period. The sponsor played a hit song from his own playlist, and that enchanting melody accompanied them throughout their journey across the Broken Ice Belt. Wasn't that much more embarrassing than hers?

Since the financial sponsor has strongly requested that it be cut, this part will definitely not be in the final film, right?

etc!

Jiang Ran suddenly remembered something and wanted to curse out loud on the spot.

Oh, where did this money sponsor come from? He's just a daydreaming, brain-destroying bastard.

While Jiang Ran was thinking, the image continued to play.

There is so much information in seven days that there is not enough time to go through it one by one. The playback speed is almost fifty times the original speed, just to go through it quickly, and it does not require everyone to look at every detail carefully.

Jiang Ran was almost always the leader and the vanguard during this polar trip. Whether it was making a fire or overcoming difficulties and dangers, she was always at the forefront. As a result, the film has many highlights and few embarrassing moments.

The more she read on, the more relaxed she felt. She simply put the stylus she was holding on the table and leaned comfortably on the soft chair, leisurely watching the fast-playing electronic screen and her companions who lowered their heads from time to time to write hard.

Just as she was about to sigh, her own face appeared on the screen again.

Jiang Ran finally managed to spare some energy to look up, but this glance made her suddenly stunned.

The light screen was showing the scene where everyone successfully left the volcanic area and finished making dinner, and she went to call Xu Yang to come for dinner.

If Jiang Ran's memory was correct, Xu Yang was fast asleep and talking in his sleep at that time.

And the content of that dream talk... was mostly about the desire to "rest" and "slack off", which really didn't fit in with the character of an elite overlord, and was really hard to talk about.

Jiang Ran, feeling embarrassed, secretly glanced towards Xu Yang.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang was completely unaware and didn't even pick up the stylus. He was just watching the video leisurely.

Halfway through, Xu Yang even sensitively noticed the gaze from the opposite side and turned his head to look at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran immediately pretended nothing had happened and turned back calmly.

This little bastard doesn't seem to know that his true nature has been exposed...

Should she remind him later?

Immersed in such emotions, I didn't realize that the video footage had come to an end.

The staff member pressed the off button on the electronic screen and politely announced, "Thank you all for your hard work. The video has ended."

When Fu Bo heard this, he immediately released all his strength and leaned back in his chair.

He rubbed his sore wrist and said with a wry smile, "It's finally over. My hand is almost broken from writing."

Ren Xiayang was so amused that he laughed and said, "You have too much 'privacy', don't you?"

Fu Bo immediately glared at him: "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Aren't you the second most wealthy person?"

Ren Xiayang curled his lips. Just as he opened his mouth, Zeng Pei's voice came from the side: "What's there to fight for the last and second to last positions?"

Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang: "..."

After a few casual chats, everyone stood up.

Everything that needed to be done had been done. Although there would be a project meeting held within Blue Sky Culture later, they would not be able to attend it.

Before leaving, Jiang Ran asked, "Could you please tell us when the final investment decision will be made?"

The staff member politely said, "The main data we're lacking right now is market feedback after the show airs. So our initial estimate is that we'll have the results within a week after the feature film airs."

"So when will the main film be aired?"

"Discussion and editing will take about a week, and channel negotiations and finalizing the release date will take at least another week. Overall, it will probably take more than half a month, but the specific time cannot be determined at the moment."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After Jiang Ran asked, he walked out with everyone.

Of course Xu Yang would not leave with them. He had to pack up and attend the next internal project meeting.

Before entering the elevator, Jiang Ran looked back.

Xu Yang was still looking at the documents carefully, trying to prepare for the next meeting, which was the investment case for "Back to Earth".

Jiang Ran paused as he was about to step into the elevator.

Although what this person said before was a bit unreliable, he has been busy for the program for so long. No matter what his purpose is, he has provided a lot of practical help. It doesn't seem good to let him be embarrassed in public without any warning, right?

"Jiang Ran, let's go, the elevator is about to close."

"You guys go downstairs first, I have something to do and will be right back."

As Jiang Ran spoke, he turned and walked towards the meeting room.

The elevator door slowly closed behind her, and the floor number displayed next to it gradually decreased.

When Jiang Ran reached the door of the conference room, he suddenly stopped.

What she wanted to talk about next was the secret she had hidden for Xu Yang for a long time. Suddenly, she had to reveal it, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

She tried to organize her words in her mind before slowly reaching out her hand to push the door open.

"Bang!"

Before the door was opened, someone suddenly bumped into me from behind.

Jiang Ran was not hit, but the man fell to the ground, and the documents in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Sorry, sorry!" the other person said hurriedly, "I didn't mean to do that!"

"It's okay." Jiang Ran didn't care and squatted down to help him pick up the documents.

However, as soon as he picked up a piece of paper, Jiang Ran saw the contents on it in a moment.

Report on potential threats to Earth's wilderness environment

Differences between recorded and live broadcasts, and potential problems associated with transitioning to live broadcasts

【……】

I picked up another piece of paper, and the content was similar.

I picked up another piece of paper, and it was almost the same.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Hello, may I ask what these files are?"

The other party didn't notice anything was wrong and replied casually, "Didn't our President Xu come with us on a trip to Earth? This is all the information he recorded."

"Oh, he remembered all these?"

"Isn't it? Otherwise why do people say he is dedicated to his work!"

"Ah...it's really amazing..."

Jiang Ran agreed, but the smile on his face became more and more stiff.

She helped people pick up and put away the documents, then turned around and walked towards the elevator instead of following them into the meeting room.

Why would such a dedicated person need her help?

The author has something to say:

【Small Theater】

Xu Yang: I’m going to die…

Jiang Ran: What's the rush? You still have an hour and five minutes of glorious time.
