Hearing what Zhang Yurong said, Li Yan felt a bit awkward. This good wife, won't she finally realize I have some advantages and let me collect debts from now on?

"Well... collecting debts is a matter of luck. I was just fortunate this time, but it doesn't mean I'll always be this lucky. If you specifically assign me to debt collection work, it might cause delays..."

Hearing Li Yan's excuse, Zhang Yurong couldn't help but sigh silently. This guy, when he really puts his mind to it, can succeed in anything, but he's just too lazy. He hasn't even started working yet, and he's already thinking about declining. If only he had half of my ambition...

They've been together for quite some time, and she knows this is just Li Yan's character. It's challenging to change him. Instead, she must start with his interests to give him a chance to change gradually.

"The debt collection task... I don't need you to do it. Overall, I still believe in legal affairs resolving it through legal means. However, the planning department indeed doesn't suit you, I've been considering it, perhaps I should move you to another department!" Zhang Yurong shared her thoughts.

Li Yan looked troubled. Although he didn't like the work in the planning department, he's at least used to it now and doesn't need to do much. If he has to change departments again...

"Yurong, let me speak in a personal capacity. Actually, my academic credentials for the company are fake. Just like Han Han, I didn't graduate from high school... Previously, in the business department, people thought I lacked ambition, but in reality, I can't help it. The gap is too large, and I can't catch up. Now it's the same in the planning department. I think it's better to give me a less demanding position!"

Li Yan worried that saying this might provoke Zhang Yurong to give him an even more important position. So he added: "Don't underestimate an idle position; it can help you discover a lot of insider information. For instance, the tendencies of grassroots employees, their opinions on company policies, who is recognized as the office slacker, and who lacks abilities but loves to flatter. These are things you wouldn't know being in a high position since no one would tell you. I, being below and a threat to none, can gather more information to help you manage the company. I'd just be content being your virtuous helpmate."

Zhang Yurong touched her forehead with her jade hand, speechlessly looking at this lazy guy. Wanting leisure is one thing, but he can even put forth such a righteous argument! And what's with being content as my virtuous helpmate...

"Hmph! Your company entry data was set up by my father at my request, and I 'selected' the schools for you. How could I not know your educational background? However, just because the business or planning department isn't suitable for you doesn't mean there's no fitting department at all. Previously, I spoke with Wen Qianyi to ask about your interests and aspirations. She mentioned you had a keen interest in past film projects..."

Saying this, Zhang Yurong gave him a somewhat dissatisfied glare.

Li Yan immediately understood. Wen Qianyi must have originally said he was interested in the entertainment industry's "unspoken rules," thus his interest in film projects. If it were Wen Qianyi, he'd joke without care, but having Zhang Yurong know this does make him feel a bit awkward.

"Ahem... well, I'm pretty responsible when it comes to advancing Yun Country's film industry and challenging international linguistic hegemony," Li Yan strived to offer a noble reason, even if he didn't believe it himself.

"Whether you're interested in investing in films or attracted to female actors, since you have this intent, I'll give you the opportunity. Just don't go overboard!" Zhang Yurong warned him, then continued: "A few months ago, the company set up a film investment company. The structure is complete now, and I'm deciding to let you become the general manager!"

Li Yan recalled that last time with Wen Qianyi, he only participated in an investment meeting where Paradise Group expressed investment intentions. People like Chu Yi already came to curry favor, and now being a real power-holding general manager of a film investment company, won't a lot of actresses come flocking to flatter him?

Still, in front of his wife, he maintained a pure expression. "Rest assured, Director Zhang, I'll try my best not to let the company lose money! It's just... I'm just a small supervisor suddenly promoted to general manager. Will it get approved? If you have to go against everyone to make this happen, I'd feel a bit guilty."

Zhang Yurong couldn't help but let out a humph. This guy is just beyond help! He hasn't even started yet and his biggest dream is just not losing money.

"Hmph! Don't worry. It's just a newly established, small subsidiary. This 'general manager' doesn't have many people under him, nor much funds to utilize. Its role might not be bigger than that of a core department supervisor at headquarters. Last time, when you got promoted to the planning department supervisor, I stood against everyone, mainly due to Shinohara Mirai's support. You didn't disappoint me. The trip to Beihai Country demonstrated your capabilities, proving my insight, and also accumulated your experience. Now, pulling you down from the position of planning department supervisor and throwing you into a new subsidiary as a manager might seem like a step backward for many. Not many would oppose this move."
