"In today's internet age, novel reading and film and television adaptations are both very positive trends. We can also incorporate products into novels and simultaneously conduct live-streaming sales..."
The project team members kept talking about the contents of the project plan.
An Zhengzheng, however, felt something was amiss.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with this content?" She flipped through the documents. "What kind of content is this?!"
"Promoting stories about having children? Are they crazy? What are all these anti-aging pills, body-shaping pills, and fertility pills? And the content is too outrageous. A woman has to serve an old man, bear children for various men in different worlds, suppress concubines and mistresses, and only then can she achieve success?"
An Zhengzheng felt as if she had swallowed a fly; the disgust in her heart was like a raging storm.
She was in a coma for ten years. Ten years. How come she understands society less and less?
"What exactly is this doing? Brainwashing women into using their wombs to gain money, power, fame, profit, or even immortality?"
An Zhengzheng didn't know if she was crazy or if the world was crazy: "Why is it like this? Doesn't anyone speak up for women who die in childbirth, lose their dignity in hospital beds, and are tied up because of childbirth?"
"Who exactly is reading this kind of novel? The female lead keeps consuming elixirs—is it to have a more beautiful figure, better skin, and higher emotional intelligence? Or is it to win over men's hearts and gain more?"
A woman's success lies in... being ignored, giving birth to a highly anticipated heir, receiving care from those around her during her difficult childbirth, and being envied by other women for her beauty and figure.
An Zhengzheng was on the verge of a breakdown.
But her team members didn't understand. They said, "Manager, don't you know? This is a thrilling moment!"
An Zhengzheng asked, her eyes reddening, "What...what's the 'pleasure point'?"
Is it about using women's childbirth and creating anxiety among women as a source of pleasure?
“Because these books are for women, and women are all this stupid.” The group member, a man, said sarcastically, “They’re lazy and stupid, they just parasitize.”
"Reading this kind of novel satisfies their desire for something for nothing, their lazy and cunning fantasies. A bunch of idiots who think they can get everything by spreading their legs and having babies."
"Moreover, these books have received very good feedback. Manager, you can check the comments if you don't believe me."
The group member handed her the comments page to look at.
An Zhengzheng looked at it, but her brows furrowed even deeper.
"So sweet! A woman as strong as an eagle was moved to tears. The older man and the little white rabbit dynamic really resonated with me!"
A woman as majestic as an eagle?
Perhaps because An Zhengzheng had returned to modern society after many years, she was out of touch with the times and didn't understand what this adjective meant.
Although the larger eagles in nature, the strong and magnificent eagles that people see, are female eagles, the word "male eagle" is used to describe their strength and ferocity.
An Zhengzheng didn't understand; she couldn't explain what to call this strange feeling.
She took out her phone and searched for "eagle". Some people said that "male" in "eagle" is an adjective and does not specifically refer to male or female eagles, but rather to a strong and agile eagle.
An Zhengzheng found it even funnier.
What adjectives can be derived from the character "雄" (xiong, meaning masculine/male)?
Magnificent, majestic, robust, powerful... these are all positive words.
What adjectives can be used to describe the female character?
A feminine gaze, looking at people with squinted eyes. Fu Xuan said in "Fu Zi": "A man with a masculine voice and a feminine gaze is a hypocrite."
"雌逊" means inferior.
"Female inferiority" means cowardice and baseness.
To be content with weakness and submissiveness means to be at peace with a weak and lowly position.
They are clearly the same words: ambition means lofty aspirations, and feminine heart means a desire to retreat. To revive one's heroic spirit means to inspire one's will. So what about feminine spirit?
What is female virginity? It is a despicable and ugly practice.
An Zhengzheng's hands trembled as she gripped the paper, feeling a nameless sorrow and helplessness.
"An old man and a little white rabbit?" she asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Uncle" is a very charming word, but what about "auntie"?
Men call their capable brothers "elder brother," but what about their elder sisters?
Why do people picture old, faded middle-aged women when they think of their aunts or older sisters?
"Yes, don't you know that in the novel channel, the male-oriented section is all about career advancement and adventure? The female-oriented section is all about romance, ancient and modern fantasy romance, including both angst and sweet love stories."
The group member analyzed earnestly: "No one reads stories about strong female protagonists or female-dominated societies. They willingly degenerate and belittle themselves, only wanting to be pampered, loved, and treated like spoiled wives."
“Foolish women spend their precious time and energy indulging in this kind of pampered wife fantasy. It’s their choice. Even if the female protagonist and female supremacy are vigorously promoted, it will only be a niche phenomenon.”
"Since they willingly demean themselves, why can't we kick them while they're down?"
At this moment, An Zhengzheng suddenly stopped being agitated, and all her confusion and sorrow vanished without a trace.
She asked the group member with a faint smile, "What does 'stepping on someone' mean?"
The group member said smugly, "If we tell them in books, websites, and advertisements that they want to serve in the US military, won't we have a market for cosmetics, clothing, and skincare products? They'll pay for these for the rest of their lives."
"Throughout their lives, if they don't become beautiful, they won't get married; if they have children but aren't beautiful or have a good figure, they'll lose their husbands' hearts; and if they don't have a son, they'll never be able to hold their heads high..."
An Zhengzheng clenched her fists and looked at all the team members present.
She then asked, "How else do you think we can step on it?"
"Since they love reading novels about pampered wives who are doted on by their men, we can supply them in bulk. We can make a profit from that, and even if we make them into TV series, there will be idiots watching them."
"Oh, and one more thing, let them compete! They have to be more beautiful than other women, and they have to compete with other women for men! The more they compete, the more anxious they become, and the more anxious they become, the more they want to watch 'psychological opium,' and the more money they have, the more willing they are to spend it!"
Everyone was in an uproar, thinking about how to exploit a group called women.
An Zhengzheng watched all of this with a cold eye.
After arguing for who knows how long, the original team member came over and said to her, "Manager, let's hurry up and release these novels and TV series, make a fortune! If we can maintain this momentum, and then expand into the medical aesthetics, cosmetics, clothing, and maternity industries... how can we not become rich?"
"Chairman, you've had a tough time these past few years. You've already run the company so well, don't you want to take it to the next level? This is a golden opportunity!"
Everyone's advice was ringing in my ears.
When An's father came in and heard these words of advice, he thought they made a lot of sense. He said to An Zhengzheng, "Zhengzheng, what everyone said makes sense..."
An Zhengzheng finally closed her eyes.
She tried to summon the Xuan Tian Han Shi Sword by chanting incantations in her mind, but found that she could not summon it at all.
An's father, looking old, said, "Zhengzheng, let's do it this way. I'm getting old, and I want to see our An family return to its former glory."
"Really?" A chill ran through An Zhengzheng's body, rising from the soles of her feet and rushing straight to her head.
Finally, it leaped off her head.
She looked at her father, who was still nagging, and plucked a long, beautiful curly hair from his head.
The long hair transformed into an extremely long vine in the next second, swirling around these people.
An Zhengzheng leaped into the air, her eyes bloodshot, her anger reaching its peak.
"How dare you...how dare you advise me to do such a thing..."
