Chapter 153, Section 154: Don't try to get too close; keep your relationships separate!
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang smiled with a look of guilt.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Yan, I've been on set lately and can't come back. We can talk on the phone if there's anything."
The excuse that we can't go back is just that—an excuse.
He was actually already planning to go back to the company, right after he hung up the phone.
I just told Liu Min that Xiao Ran's suggestion was acceptable, but it would be best to sign the contract back at the company, and only if I was present.
After all, he still had some things he wanted to say to Xiao Ran alone.
Yan Li didn't expect Director Zhang to refuse so decisively.
But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Director Zhang, you see, our two companies have been working together for so long, and this time, for some reason, Editor-in-Chief Liu rejected four of our web dramas in one go. I feel like there might be some misunderstanding..."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang frowned. See, so it was about this matter after all!
He feigned surprise and said, "Is that so? I really didn't know. This is so disrespectful to President Yan. I've been so busy these past few days, working on set. When I have some free time, I'll definitely talk to her and ask her what happened."
You can be ruthless in your actions, but you can't be too absolute in your words, because nobody knows how long the road ahead will last.
Perhaps if Yunya becomes bigger in the future, we can collaborate again.
For businessmen, being tactful is essential.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li, who was sitting in the car, raised an eyebrow.
His tone softened, which was unusual for him.
"Director Zhang, if we could discuss this later, I wouldn't have called you."
I was truly at my wit's end. If I had known iQiyi would suddenly do this, I wouldn't have produced so many dramas all at once.
It turns out they've always had a very pleasant working relationship.
Now look what's happened. All the money's been poured in, but there's nowhere to broadcast it. Forget about making money, they'll lose it all.
Director Zhang frowned. "Oh dear, I'm just too busy right now. Let's talk about this later, later."
He hung up the phone hastily after saying that.
To be honest, those web series produced by Yunya Company didn't really appeal to me.
After all, many well-known films and TV shows are now seeking out iQiyi, so they really don't lack for shows.
Hearing the dial tone from the other end of the phone, Yan Li sighed deeply, her eyes filled with anxiety and disappointment.
She hasn't had a single good night's sleep in days. The recent setbacks and depression have caused her to lose weight.
Even her striking red lips couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.
After much deliberation, she took out her phone and called Wang Meng.
"Try to contact Mango TV and find Director Ma to see if we can get at least two of their shows. Also, try to contact people on Kugou and send them the appropriate gifts."
"Yes, Mr. Yan, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Li thought about it and still couldn't bear to give up on iQiyi, after all, it was a long-term project.
Thinking about it, she dialed the number of Vice President Dong Ming again.
Dong Ming was flirting with an internet celebrity in the studio when his phone suddenly rang, and he looked annoyed.
"Who is it that's so tactless!"
Peach, sitting in front of the makeup mirror, looked at Dong Ming with an obedient expression.
"Mr. Dong, please don't do this. Please answer the phone first."
After being persuaded by Taozi, Dong Ming finally picked up his phone, still grumbling.
I was startled when I saw that it showed Yan Li.
Even the hand that was on the female anchor was quickly withdrawn.
He said respectfully, "President Yan!"
"Prepare a generous gift and deliver it to Director Zhang's office at iQiyi immediately!" Yan Li ordered.
That's just how business is; when you need to ask for help, you have to be willing to do so!
Even if they don't care about my face, they should at least care about my money!
Upon hearing this, Dong Ming was taken aback. Director Zhang was usually received personally by President Yan, so why was it his turn this time?
He asked in a panic, "Is it appropriate for me to go?"
Yan Li said impatiently, "Nonsense, do you expect me to go myself?"
Does this person even have a brain?
She's the boss!
Is it appropriate for me to do this myself?
After being scolded, Dong Ming's fleshy face visibly darkened, looking like he dared not speak out against his anger.
This woman is a complete madwoman!
They either shout or yell when they speak!
Seeing that he remained silent, Yan Li on the other end of the phone grew increasingly angry.
"What on earth is going on in your head?"
Everyone else is making progress, but Dong Ming is getting worse and worse. He even needs to ask about this kind of thing. He's such a pig-headed person!
Dong Ming looked furious but dared not speak out. "Yes, President Yan, I understand."
"If you can't even handle this, then you should just apply for early retirement!"
After saying that, Yan Li angrily hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Dong Ming was extremely indignant.
That bitch! No wonder her husband is having an affair with her own sister!
Serves him right!
Seeing Dong Ming's pale face, Taozi couldn't help but ask with concern, "Mr. Dong, are you alright?"
Dong Ming spat angrily onto the ground, "What a piece of crap!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she continued to curse: "She gives a gift but doesn't deliver it to the recipient, she keeps it in the office, and she thinks I'm stupid for not being able to give the right gift. I think she's about to go bankrupt!"
The foolish man could never have imagined that Yan Li did this so that Director Zhang would have no chance to refuse.
The item was placed in his office, so even if he wasn't there, it was as if he had taken it.
