Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Jiang Yun, the right-hand man of President He of M platform, would invite her to dinner. Her original plan was to make the two sides fight, add fuel to the fire every now and then, and finally make the fight even more intense.
This way, they can have fun and develop properly.
"Mr. Lin, you are truly a young man of great talent. I really like your work."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and shook hands, secretly thinking that the person opposite her was probably Jiang Yun, the notorious smiling tiger behind the M platform's big capital. The other party's talk of liking her work was just politeness.
"This is my assistant."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, but her heart was in turmoil. The most promising heir to the He Group, the young CEO He—if she hadn't already investigated the He Group and seen his picture, she would have been completely fooled. It seemed he was on a clandestine visit. Then she couldn't resist playing a trick on him.
Jiang Yun truly lives up to his reputation as a smiling tiger; when he's being sincere, you simply can't tell the difference between his true and false intentions.
"Mr. Lin, we found we clicked really well during our chat. I never expected someone your age to have such insight. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! This old man can't deny he's getting old."
Lin Xiaoxiao's face was flushed from drinking, and she swayed slightly as she waved her hand, "What are you talking about?! Brother Jiang, you're still young. Then this cooperation is settled, and I'll bring my legal team to sign the contract next Monday."
"No problem, no problem."
Jiang Yun looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was obviously easy to fool, and wondered why President He had sent her to win over this little minion. She didn't show it on her face, but she was already somewhat disgusted with her.
Lin Xiaoxiao drank another glass, hiccuping as she pulled Jiang Yun aside, looking like she was confiding in him, "Brother Jiang, just by looking at you, I knew your CEO He couldn't be a bad person either, he's completely different from what others say..."
The assistant accompanying him (Young Master He) raised an eyebrow, and Jiang Yun asked, "How is it different?"
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned closer to whisper, but her voice wasn't actually quiet, "People are telling me that President He is very petty, and because I took investment from the Lin Group, he wants to blacklist me! It's all a misunderstanding..."
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, a wine glass in front of her assistant shattered with a loud crash.
The assistant had a gloomy face, but Jiang Yun tried to smooth things over by saying, "It's nothing, just a broken cup."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stop there. "President Li from Platform Y also said that your company's President He, tsk tsk, doesn't discriminate between men and women, his private life is very chaotic. Brother Jiang, you'd better be careful. President Li said even someone like me would suffer..."
Jiang Yun inwardly sighed that things were not going well, but the "drunkard" Lin Xiaoxiao continued to chatter on and on.
The sound of shattering glass rang out again, accompanied by the sound of a table being slammed. Xiao He, who was pretending to be the assistant, jumped up, his face turning ashen, and left the private room.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked confused and pointed to the assistant who was leaving, "What happened to him?"
Jiang Yun was heartbroken. How could she not have expected Lin Xiaoxiao to be so bad at drinking? She said everything she should and shouldn't have said. President He and his son are both known for being petty and overthinking things. Now look what's happened.
Jiang Yun didn't keep it a secret any longer, since they would meet again when signing the contract later. "That's our CEO He's son—Young CEO He."
Lin Xiaoxiao was so surprised that her jaw dropped. The effects of the alcohol seemed to have instantly worn off, and she stood bolt upright. "Ah, this... I really don't know. What should I do?"
Jiang Yun was also somewhat worried. The two families were already fighting fiercely enough, and now they were about to become mortal enemies.
"It's nothing, you were just saying it without thinking."
After Jiang Yun left, Lin Xiaoxiao took out chewing gum from her bag. Apart from the blush on her face, she didn't look drunk at all.
"They've already banned her, yet they still dare to ask her to film martial arts dramas. Let's see if she doesn't ruin the M platform."
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the company, she told Secretary Zhao about the joint production of a martial arts drama with the M platform.
"Just send whoever is still on vacation from the screenwriting team. There's no need to specially transfer people."
So Zhang Fan, the only one still on duty, appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Why was it this "drama queen"? "This time the script is a martial arts drama. As for the content, it's 100 episodes, male-centric, starting from the male lead's birth and continuing until the male lead grows old and dies."
Without even looking up, Zhang Fan took notes. "Wait, Director Lin, how many episodes?"
Lin Xiaoxiao repeated, "100 episodes."
The investment alone for 100 episodes would consume a significant portion of the M platform's funds. Moreover, unlike other fast-paced dramas, such a long series is unlikely to satisfy viewers' patience. Even if two episodes were released daily, it would still take over a month or two to finish watching. Who would have the time to watch the entire life of a martial arts hero?
She suddenly had a brilliant idea: "The protagonist is an assassin, but at the end, he'll be over a hundred years old."
Zhang Fan was stunned. An assassin? And he lives to be a hundred? Director Lin, do you want to hear what you're saying?!
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't find it unreasonable; she only thought she was a genius, a long-lived assassin. Hahaha, what kind of good assassin could that be?
"There should be more action scenes, and some romance scenes in the middle and later parts. You and Zhang Erdai can learn from each other about the romance scenes."
Learning from Zhang Erdai—what lessons? Of course, the everyday family dramas and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts. A combination of martial arts and family ethics, with the protagonist being an assassin—it couldn't be more perfect.
Think about it, people who initially came for martial arts dramas, only to find themselves in a family drama halfway through, will definitely be furious and furious, and will probably rant and rave about the M platform. People who like family dramas don't like the bloody and violent atmosphere of martial arts dramas. In short, there is no audience at all.
They'll either get bombarded with criticism or completely flop without making a ripple. Either way, it's a satisfying outcome that will cost M platform a huge sum of money.
