"I don't have any plans in that regard for the time being. I will focus on my career for the next five years."
Li Zhaoyang is currently preoccupied with developing his music career while also expanding into film and television.
We may explore other areas in the future.
Seeing Zhao Yang like this reminded Song Yuqin of his ex-girlfriend, leaving her with a lingering sadness, so she stopped dwelling on the topic.
These things need to be done gradually.
Anyway, none of my three younger sisters have boyfriends right now, so I'll see which one is suitable and then try to set Zhaoyang up with him. There's bound to be one that's right for Zhaoyang.
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."
It's impossible for any of my three younger sisters to be unsuitable for Zhaoyang, is it?
After quickly ending the topic and finishing breakfast, Song Yuqin and Chen Wanting cleaned up the dishes before Song Yuqin started talking to Zhang Shulan about work.
Hua Nongying, perhaps due to her low emotional intelligence, was still trying to continue the conversation about Li Zhaoyang's girlfriend.
In the end, Chen Wanting stopped her, and the topic was dropped.
Song Yuqin: "Xiao Zhang, we're heading back to China at noon today. We won't stay here any longer."
Zhang Shulan: "Well, then I won't keep you here any longer, Director. Things are indeed quite busy back home. By the way, I'll need your help with the funding matters."
Song Yuqin: "Don't worry, even if I don't apply for funding for you, the news will reach the chairman and he will take the initiative to increase the funding. The crown is something that so many people are eager to obtain."
"Um."
Seeing that Zhang Shulan was preparing to see them off to the airport, Li Zhaoyang walked over and whispered, "Director, I want to talk to you about something."
"Is it about work?" Zhang Shulan asked.
"right."
"Let's talk about it at the company, there's no rush." Zhang Shulan didn't want Zhaoyang to be so tense. They couldn't talk about work issues at home, even though it didn't have to be dealt with right now.
Around 10 o'clock, Zhang Shulan took several taxis to send the director and the others to the airport. After saying goodbye at the airport, she took Zhaoyang back to the company.
Before saying goodbye, Song Yuqin whispered in Zhaoyang's ear, "Zhaoyang, remember? If you want to date, my three younger sisters are pretty good. Pick one. Oh right, you haven't met my third sister before. I'll introduce you to her later."
"Alright, Director, it's almost time, hurry up and go inside." Li Zhaoyang watched Song Yuqin's figure gradually disappear into the distance before turning around and leaving with Zhang Shulan.
On the way back to the company, Zhang Shulan asked, "By the way, Zhaoyang, what work did you need to report earlier?"
She was very dedicated to her work in Zhaoyang.
However, she had one rule: when at home, she didn't want Zhaoyang to talk about work.
Unless it's a major emergency.
In general, if an emergency occurs, one will usually know about it oneself and cannot wait for Zhaoyang to report it.
"I'd like to talk to the director about setting up a new department," Li Zhaoyang said, getting straight to the point.
"What kind of department is it?" Zhang Shulan didn't find it strange at this point.
"Film and television department."
"What?" A look of surprise and confusion flashed across Zhang Shulan's beautiful face, as if she thought she had misheard: "You mean the music department?"
“No, it’s the film and television department,” Li Zhaoyang said. “I want to make movies.”
Zhang Shulan's expression was solemn, and the question was very serious: "It's not Zhaoyang. You're doing so well in the music industry, why do you suddenly want to change careers?"
"Huh?" Li Zhaoyang felt that he hadn't expressed himself clearly enough, so he changed his tone and replied, "It's not a career change. I want to develop my music career while also expanding into the film and television industry."
Zhang Shulan shook her head and refused outright; the saying "a trade is like a mountain" is no joke.
Although Zhaoyang had previously transitioned to songwriting, he was a singer before, so he was still essentially in this industry. At least he was involved with music all day long, so it wasn't a complete career change.
But now, suddenly switching from music to the film and television industry, isn't that absurd?
Perhaps because Zhao Yang was the group's darling, or perhaps because Zhang Shulan didn't want to see Zhao Yang disappointed, her tone softened a bit: "Setting up a new department is no problem, but we need a complete development plan and we also need to report to the head office. Look, Director Song has already left..."
Zhang Shulan paused for a moment and said, "Director Song should not have boarded the plane yet. I'll call her now and talk to her about this."
“Okay.” Li Zhaoyang continued, “Also… I have prepared the script. I can send it to you, Director, once we get to the company.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about the script back at the company. I’ll report to Director Song first.” Zhang Shulan dialed Song Yuqin’s private number.
"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong? We're about to board the plane." Song Yuqin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Shulan: "The company wants to establish a new department, the Film and Television Department."
Song Yuqin: "You can decide this yourself. I believe in your abilities. Since you plan to get involved in the film and television industry, you must have your own development plan."
At work, Song Yuqin never doubted Xiao Zhang's abilities, which is why she felt comfortable letting Xiao Zhang go abroad with her, and it wasn't just because he could take care of Zhaoyang.
Zhang Shulan: "Zhaoyang wants to get involved in the film and television industry. He plans to shoot a movie, but it's not really a career change. Making movies is a hobby, and his focus will still be on music."
Zhang Shulan's way of expressing herself is very unique; instead of making definitive statements, she uses "hobbies and interests" as a substitute.
Song Yuqin: "Hobbies... Okay, you write a report and submit it to the head office. I'll personally give it to the chairman. Zhaoyang has made such a great contribution to the company, I believe the chairman will spend some money to help Zhaoyang expand his hobbies."
"Yes, Director."
Song Yuqin added, "By the way, don't include any risk assessment report data in the materials. If there is a risk assessment, the assessment department will get involved. Since it's Zhaoyang's hobby, just treat this project as a loss. I'll give you a safety net. The head office will contribute around 50 million to this project. If it exceeds that amount, it's beyond my control."
Song Yuqin's words were very clear: since it was Zhaoyang's hobby, it should be respected, and the company would also pay to let him have some fun. It's understandable for someone to have other hobbies when it comes to music creation, as this can more easily promote creative inspiration.
However, if it exceeds a certain amount, you need to think about it carefully.
With a budget of around 50 million, Zhao Yang can do whatever he wants in the film and television industry. When he gets tired of it, he can just come back and continue developing his music career.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Shulan ended the call and nodded gently to Zhaoyang: "There are no problems with the director. She has backed us up, but there is one condition: the head office will not invest too much money in our new department. It's about 40 million yuan in total. If you lose all of that money, you'll have to go back to the music industry and develop properly."
She didn't say 40 million; the slight discrepancy was a responsible decision for both herself and Zhaoyang.
