Zhang Sumu's friend is named An Chunnian, who is thirty-five years old this year and is two years older than Zhang Sumu.
An Chunian originally worked at a talent agency, where he had risen to the position of deputy general manager before leaving. Logically, this was a high position, and his future seemed bright. Unfortunately, even so, when targeted by the boss's daughter, he still had to accept his fate.
Upon hearing the name of the company, Shi Jing could roughly understand its structure.
Shi Jing was not unfamiliar with this company at all; in fact, she was somewhat familiar with it, because this company was Leyu Entertainment, which had a history of conflict with Shi Jing and had even targeted Qi Shuang.
Lin Youmei has always been arrogant and ruthless towards anyone who doesn't meet her standards. Given this, it's not surprising that An Chunian was targeted for offending Lin Youmei.
Shi Jing only had a general understanding of An Chunian's background. His resume was not bad, but his shortcomings were also obvious.
An Chunian originally came from a talent agency background, which is somewhat different from film and television investment. Besides, there's the issue of An Chunian himself; because he offended Lin Youmei, he's essentially been semi-blacklisted in the industry. Taking over this person would practically be tantamount to declaring war on Lin Youmei.
Shi Jing completely disregarded the second point. She and Lin Youmei already had a grudge, and if they were to meet, Lin Youmei's animosity towards her might not be any less than her hatred towards An Chunian. As for the first point, if Shi Jing only planned to invest in film and television, then this was indeed a weakness. However, in reality, Shi Jing did have some other options.
Now that she's in the film and television investment business, she can't just focus on that one area. She's also considered talent agencies, film and television production, and even broadcasting platforms. However, it's not the right time yet; she'll consider these things after she's accumulated more experience and connections.
"Well then, your previous work experience is indeed quite good, but it's still a bit different from what we'll be doing later. If you'd like, you can come to the company for a while to adapt, starting as a deputy. If you adapt well, you can take over the full responsibilities later. What do you think?"
Shi Jing was quite sincere. If the other party could handle it, Shi Jing would naturally hope that the other party could take over directly, so that she could save herself some trouble.
An Chunian thought about it carefully and then agreed.
Since he was forced to leave Leyu, his position in the industry has been rather awkward. There are almost no companies in the industry willing to take him on, and even if they do, they can't offer him a suitable position.
It was precisely because of this that, after being unemployed for several months, An Chunian left Dingdu and started over in another city.
If Zhang Sumu hadn't encouraged him to come, he might have really changed careers.
“Okay, thank you, Boss Shi.” An Chunian extended his hand.
If he wants to return to the entertainment industry, this company is his best option right now.
Shi Jing reached out and shook hands with him, and that settled the matter.

The dinner was scheduled for Saturday night.
The research institute also operates on a five-day work week with two days off, but this is not often actually implemented. Overtime is common in research institutions.
In preparation for the investment, Rongyu's two senior brothers started changing their clothes early on Saturday, afraid that something might be inappropriate that would displease the investors.
When Rong Yu arrived at their dormitory, she was both amused and exasperated to see the bed covered with all sorts of clothes.
He pushed open the door and went in, asking, "Senior brothers, are you all done?"
Senior Brother Li had changed into a white shirt, which was clean and tidy, as if he had washed it. He also looked refreshed.
Senior Brother Yang is a bit overweight, and his irregular sleep schedule has caused him some acne. He's standing in front of the mirror right now, trying to apply borrowed foundation and concealer to his face. Unfortunately, he's never used it before and has no experience whatsoever.
"Senior Brother Yang, let me help you," Rong Yu said.
He's had experience in the entertainment industry, so he's more experienced than the other two.
I did a simple fix for them, and they look much better now.
Rong Yu checked the time: "It's almost time, shall we set off?"
This is the first time that both senior brothers have been seeking investment for their projects, and Rongyu, as the middleman and a friend of both parties, will also be participating.
Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Yang had been working hard in their dorm all afternoon, and now they knew they would be late if they delayed any longer, so they quickly agreed.
Looking at Rong Yu, who was also working overtime with them and was still young and handsome, the two couldn't help but sigh, "The difference between people is just too great."
After leaving the research institute, the three of them took a taxi straight to their restaurant.
Knowing that Rong Yu would also be coming today, Shi Jing didn't bring anyone else.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Rong Yu asked a waitress for directions, and then, with her assistance, went to a private room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two people huddled together next to her, talking about something.
She calmly pushed open the door and entered, and the two people who had just been talking immediately stood up awkwardly.
"Sit down, everyone is Rong Yu's friend, don't be shy," Shi Jing said, trying to reassure them.
Rong Yu tugged at his two senior brothers and asked them to sit down.
The private room wasn't big, but it was enough for four people to have a meal.
After they all arrived, Rongyu introduced them one by one.
Shi Jing then extended his hand to greet them: "Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."
“We are very happy too.” The two quickly reached out to shake hands.
After they finished speaking, the waiter brought the menu. The others politely declined and let Shi Jing order, so Shi Jing ordered a few dishes she liked and handed the menu back to them.
"You guys also see if we need to add anything."
After ordering, while the food was still being served, Senior Brother Li and his team took out the materials they had prepared, which were related to their research project.
Seeing that they were still reserved, Shi Jing didn't say anything and took it.
She flipped through it casually; it was a research project about glass materials, specifically the research and application of low-emissivity energy-saving glass.
Shi Jing couldn't fully understand the scientific research, but she understood the application and prospects of this achievement in multiple fields once it was successfully developed.
"Is this your first time developing something independently?"
“Yes,” Senior Brother Li hurriedly explained, “but although it’s the first time, our mentor is very optimistic about this project.”
Senior Brother Yang also said, "We have been preparing for this project for a long time, and the success rate is quite high."
Shi Jing didn't mean to question their abilities; in fact, leading a research project independently is no easy feat. The fact that they've achieved this at such a young age is already quite remarkable.
Rong Yu understood Shi Jing's meaning and smiled, "My senior brothers are indeed very capable."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then the waiter started to open the door and serve the dishes.
As the dishes began to be served, one after another was quickly placed on the table.
Shi Jing then put the documents away and said, "Alright, everyone, let's eat first."
