Li Zhong hurriedly expressed, "President Lin, after having a chat with Mr. Chen just now, I've decided to stay at the company for its development."

"Rest assured, I definitely won't be like Huang Ke, choosing to betray the company."

Huh?

Yang Leshan was stunned on the spot, looking at Chen Xuan in shock, then turned to Li Zhong.

Her mind was buzzing, unable to come to her senses for a while.

Lin Wanxi was equally surprised. What exactly did Chen Xuan say to Li Zhong that made his resolve so firm?

"Screenwriter Li, are you sure you've thought it through and want to stay at the company?" Lin Wanxi once again confirmed.

Li Zhong nodded with a smile, "President Lin, you don't need to worry. I definitely stand by my words."

After receiving the affirmative reply, Lin Wanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, thank you, Screenwriter Li, for your trust and dedication to the company."

"Although I can't give you such high treatment for the time being, I will remember this kindness! When the company grows strong, you definitely won't be let down."

Li Zhong smiled, "I believe that New Moon Entertainment Company will certainly become a leading player in the industry in the future, haha."

Uh...

These words made Lin Wanxi inadvertently grin. She didn't even dare to think in that direction, yet Li Zhong actually said it aloud.

Becoming increasingly curious, what did Chen Xuan tell Li Zhong that made him start speaking such 'nonsense'?

"Brother Li, just now you seemed so uncertain, and within this short period... how did you change so quickly?"

"Did Chen Xuan threaten you?"

Yang Leshan's expression was changeable, trying to figure out what exactly happened.

"No, absolutely not."

Li Zhong hurriedly waved his hand with a smile, "Mr. Chen just talked to me about the future development prospects of the company, and I am full of confidence in the future of New Moon Entertainment Company."

"So, I've decided to stay at the company and witness New Moon Entertainment Company's growth step by step."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan misunderstood, thinking Chen Xuan was just painting a rosy picture for Li Zhong, and Li Zhong actually believed it.

Lin Wanxi, with a hint of helpless smile, said, "Screenwriter Li, since you've made up your mind, let's work together to create a bright future."

"Mm, I will do my utmost not to disappoint President Lin." Li Zhong nodded seriously, "President Lin, I'll head back to polish the script first."

"Alright." Lin Wanxi nodded in agreement.

After Li Zhong left, Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan and shook her head with a smile, "Did you just sell Li Zhong on a dream?"

"It's not selling a dream; I just described a beautiful future for him." Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Cut!

Yang Leshan looked disdainful, "It's all the same! I couldn't see it before, but you're quite skilled at brainwashing people!"

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Less talk; the important thing is I successfully retained Li Zhong. You should fulfill your promise now."

Instantly, Yang Leshan's face turned extremely gloomy.

Humph!

Yang Leshan snorted lightly, "Fine, I admit my defeat!"

Then she bowed to Chen Xuan and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Chen Xuan, satisfied, raised his hand to gesture, "You may rise."

Yang Leshan's teeth gritted with hatred, "Don't be so smug with me! You just exploited a loophole this time!"

"Relying on selling dreams to keep people is itself a kind of deception! Shameful!"

Lin Wanxi quickly raised her hand to stop, "Let's both say less. No matter what, Chen Xuan has contributed."

"As long as Li Zhong stays at the company, we can breathe a little easier! Shanshan, you've been in the film and television industry for many years and know many people."

"Look for a director to come over, even if temporarily to help out, and pay them accordingly."

"I'll do my best!" Yang Leshan looked helpless, "In this industry, personal connections are the least valuable!"

"Someone suddenly rises to fame, and even the most unrelated people will strive to catch the heat; once they flop, they'll immediately disassociate! A very realistic bunch of people!"

Lin Wanxi was well aware of this.

The New Moon Entertainment Company was newly established, with no reputation to speak of, making it hard to find a good director for assistance.

Perhaps, they wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

They could only hold a try-and-see attitude, placing their hopes on Yang Leshan.

A day passed.

The next morning, Yang Leshan was at her wit's end, "Wanxi, I've tried my best, but it's just as I said."

"The well-connected famous directors I know, upon hearing that it's for a short drama at a small company like ours, showed clear disdain. Hiring lesser-known directors isn't a problem, but their skill level is low, and their rates are high."

"That's the current situation. You decide."

Lin Wanxi was full of melancholy; truly it's a tough situation.

Negotiating a higher rate with ordinary directors isn't impossible, but the problem is the lack of skill. Will the work they produce even be watchable?

It would be a sure-shot flop, ruining the reputation!

Just when the two were stuck in melancholy, uncertain about what to do, Chen Xuan stepped up once again.

"How about letting me try again?"

Chen Xuan specifically looked at Yang Leshan and promptly said, "If you still want to mock me, then why don't we just make another bet?"

"If I manage to do it, you'll have to call me 'good brother' three times, humbly and lowly."

Hearing this, Yang Leshan was immediately infuriated, "Shameless! Still trying to take advantage of me!"

"Go ahead and try. If you can find a good director, I'll call you 'good brother' three times!"
