Outside the door, Shen Fang and Shen Kun were smoking cigarettes. Shen Fang playfully nudged Shen Kun, who responded with a shout. "Yamete!!!"
Chen Fang: "Can you please use a different phrase? Just say it once, and once you've got him, that's enough. It's about time, let's book our tickets and head back to Guangdong tomorrow."
Shen Kun chuckled, "I'm just playing along with your performance, Third Uncle. Is this woman really that good? A million-dollar annual salary, plus shares."
Shen Fang smiled; "It's worth the price. Just follow my instructions."
Shen Kun nodded and left through the gate of Longteng.
Chen Fang stomped out the cigarette in his hand.
Zhong Lifang is no ordinary person. She played a crucial role in the creation of the "Little Horse Galloping" film, which allowed the protagonist to extend his life. She was also the one who spearheaded a series of films, including "Just Another Pandora's Box," "Reign of Assassins," "No Man's Land," "Eternal Love," and "The Golden Era."
Most importantly, she helped Galloping Pony complete three rounds of financing, including a $40 million Series A funding round, a second round of financing totaling 750 million RMB, and Galloping Pony's acquisition of Digital Domain, a top Hollywood visual effects company, in 2013.
She had once been dubbed the "Mulan of the Business World." Zhong Lifang felt she had made a profit by managing to persuade her to come over, but Shen Fang was definitely not at a loss. It was just a long-term investment. He was about to go back to school, and the company needed a leader. Shen Fang felt that Zhong Lifang was the best choice for that person.
Walking into the office, Shen Fang looked at Zhong Lifang with a big smile: "Sister Lifang, I've already asked Shen Kun to prepare the contract. Do you have a place to stay in Beijing? I have a vacant villa in Emerald Mansion. If you need it, I can rent it to you for free."
Zhong Lifang exclaimed in delight, "That's wonderful! Boss, you're so generous! Tsk tsk, you were just trying to get something for free, how come you're being so generous now?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "We're all family here, so I won't pretend anymore. I'll be frank. We're not short of money. As long as you work hard, you'll have what you need. I, Shen Fang, am known for being naive and rich. Sister Lifang, I'm starting school in September, so you'll be in charge of the company from now on. We can keep in touch by phone if anything comes up."
Zhong Lifang was instantly dumbfounded: "Start of school? President Shen? You're still in school? Master's degree?"
Shen Fang: "I'm a freshman at Beijing Film Academy, and I just turned 18 this year."
Zhong Lifang: ......
Shen Kun walked in with the contract and handed it to Zhong Lifang. Zhong Lifang glanced at it briefly, found no problems, and signed it.
Shen Fang instructed, "Fatty, go to the finance department and get a check for 500,000 yuan for Sister Lifang. Also, prepare the key to Villa No. 5 in Emerald Mansion for Sister Lifang. Sister Lifang, let's go, I'll take you to meet our company's employees."
Zhong Lifang nodded and followed Shen Fang out. The two arrived at the office area.
Shen Fang smiled at the employees who were slacking off and said, "Ahem, this is our company's new general manager, Ms. Zhong Lifang. Please welcome her."
The employees applauded. Okay, there were a few people in total.
Shen Fang introduced Zhong Lifang: "This is Xing Aina, our company's head screenwriter; this is Ning Hao, our company's first signed director; this is Huang Bo, our company's first signed artist; this is Liu Jie, our company's accountant; this is our company's photographer; this is our company's designer; and this is..."
After a brief introduction, everyone got to know each other.
Shen Fang: "Sister Lifang, I have a few simple tasks to teach you."
Zhong Lifang looked at Shen Fang: "Please speak, Mr. Shen."
The first priority is to find a decent office building for our company; this place can only be used temporarily.
The second is to find skilled writers and editors online, especially some well-known novelists.
Thirdly, we need to recruit talent. Our company's first TV series, "My Own Swordsman," is about to start filming, and we need professional talent. You can go to the Beijing Film Academy to poach people; you can use Wang Hui's name to poach anyone you want.
Zhong Lifang looked at Shen Fang with a blank expression: "President Shen, if I remember correctly, Wang Hui is the president of Beijing Film Academy, right? What is your relationship with him?"
Shen Fang grinned and said, "Principal Wang personally selected me to go to Beijing Film Academy. Go ahead and dig with confidence. I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong."
Zhong Lifang looked at Shen Fang suspiciously: "Are you really alright?"
Shen Fang put on an innocent expression: "Of course it's true. Do I look like the kind of person who lies so easily?"
Zhong Lifang nodded firmly: "Yes, when you were laughing just now, I felt like you were definitely thinking of tricking someone."
Shen Kun secretly thought to himself, "He really has a good eye for people."
Shen Fang: "...Sister Lifang, where is the trust between people? Besides, Longteng is my company. What are you afraid of? Go ahead and dig. Have Ning Hao cooperate with you. He is from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. If you have any good talents, have him recommend them."
Ning Hao nodded: "It's a small matter."
Shen Fang: "Brother Hao, please postpone the incense-themed filming. I'll go back to Maoming this afternoon and then go to the person in charge of the South China Sea Film and Television Base to discuss the set construction."
Ning Hao nodded: "No problem. If there's a TV series to film, it doesn't matter whether I film my documentary or not."
Shen Fang smiled as he looked at the company's staff: "Today we've basically finalized our team. I'm treating everyone to Fengdeyuan. Everyone has to be there tonight. Starting tomorrow, there's no more slacking off. Everyone, work hard and help Longteng grow quickly. Lots of red envelopes and bonuses await you!"
