Chapter 655: Chapter 646: Baiwen Entertainment Enters the Directors’ Circle

"A little to the left, yes, a bit more, lower, perfect, right there!"

At the reception area just outside the elevator on Tang Nan’s floor, Hu Xiaoling was directing workers to rearrange the Baiwen Entertainment sign.

Now, as soon as you step out of the elevator on Tang Nan’s floor, you see a backdrop wall with two-thirds occupied by the Baihua Creation Scenery sign and the remaining third by Baiwen Entertainment.

The company logos look quite similar to Baihua’s, making it obvious they’re sibling companies; even a fool could see there’s a connection, otherwise they wouldn’t be displayed so closely together.

As for why Baiwen’s logo only takes up a third, it’s purely due to Tang Nan’s playful mischief; she specially ordered it.

In reality, she doesn’t gain much advantage on Su Qing’s side, so she finds joy in these childish antics.

"Lingling, you’re quite the star now, huh? You’re the first and only employee over there. How’s it feel?"

Just then, a girl with a ponytail and casual clothes laughed and handed over a cup of milk tea.

Hearing this, Hu Xiaoling’s lips curved up slightly, and she accepted the milk tea with a smile: "Not bad, but I can’t compare to you, the big assistant."

The girl’s name is Lv Xiuxiu, Tang Nan’s assistant, while Hu Xiaoling is the assistant to Tang Nan’s manager. They aren’t hierarchically different; both are workers, around the same age, so naturally they’ve become good friends.

"Not bad? Look at your smile; it’s almost reaching the back of your head! I can’t match you, I’m just a little assistant, lacking skills and qualifications, only taking care of President Tang’s daily needs. But you’re different; you know so much, and now you can finally use what you’ve learned over the years. Ah... I’m so envious~~" said Lv Xiuxiu with a tone full of envy.

Though she’s envious, she’s not jealous. Her job is as Tang Nan’s assistant, which means brewing tea, arranging schedules, booking flights, managing food and accommodations—a caretaker-type role.

And she doesn’t possess any essential entertainment industry skills; thankfully Tang Nan is nice and not the least bit difficult. She loves this job now.

As for Hu Xiaoling, she’s a proper college graduate, with her career path set to become a manager. Initially, she assisted Tang Nan’s manager, but while she’s yet to stand on her own and lacks connections, she’s finally gotten her break this time.

Now, with Su Qing, seemingly without any official position, she sometimes even takes up roles as an assistant or secretary, but anyone with eyes can see it’s a great opportunity.

To say nothing else, have you seen who’s been visiting Su Qing these past days? Directors from major production teams, especially Wang Fan, who’s all over the internet these days.

As Su Qing’s only staff on this side, maybe she can’t chat up everyone on first encounters, but over time?

Besides, President Tang already mentioned Su Qing won’t be around often, so most times she is needed to help manage things. If directors show up when Su Qing isn’t here, who else would host them?

Wouldn’t the connections naturally follow? This is a hidden perk well understood by her mentor, Tang Nan’s manager, who specifically reminded her of this rare chance.

What does a manager need? Communication skills, shrewdness, negotiation tactics... those are basic. The key lies in networks to gain benefits for her side.

"Stop it, if you want to join here, go talk to President Tang. Over here, now it’s money aplenty, no work, super relaxed, play games whenever, except President Su doesn’t seem to need an assistant, or else you’d be perfect, haha!"

"Laugh on, watch me bump you over!"

"That’s too much, are you mocking me?"

"Yeah!"

Hu Lingling: ...

Lv Xiuxiu has a somewhat... erm, curvy figure, but not exactly the voluptuous type; she’s just generally rounded.

That afternoon, Wang Fan brought three directors over again; all confirmed the contracts held no issues and immediately came over to get money upon hearing the news.

The process was smooth. After company registration successfully completed, with all formalities in place, investments from directors Yang Jia and Wang Jiang were transferred on the spot, and contracts were signed without a hitch. Only the final director, Director Deng, posed a slight issue with two investors emerging.

Fortunately, Wen Jingqi had been briefed by Su Qing: he came here just to pen checks.

Back then, Su Qing said they’d take 150 million just like that, now not even visiting projects over there. What is it, 100% trust? A young guy in his twenties wielding such audacity, if he responded cautiously he’d be underestimated.

So Wen Jingqi happily contributed fifty million, while Su Qing arranged for another fifty million to be wired over last night through Shen Yi from Jiang City, totaling a hundred million.

However, the contracts divided into two: one for Su Qing’s Baiwen Entertainment, the other for Wen Jingqi’s construction firm.

Deng Wenxiong didn’t care what company type it was, even a coal boss’s money spends the same—what difference matters?

The collaboration unexpectedly went smoothly, no doubts, bargaining, or underhanded tricks ensued.

After the trio came out dazed, they found themselves downstairs once they gathered their wits.

"Wake up! See, didn’t I tell you it’d be fine? Brother Su is truly generous. Let me congratulate y’all, how about celebrating tonight?" Wang Fan laughed.

As the middleman, the deal concluded, naturally he’d please both sides. Su Qing isn’t mentioned, but at least the three view him gratefully.

"For sure, we owe you, Wang Bro, tonight’s on me!" Yang Jia immediately responded.

"Absolutely, little Wang deserves thanks," added Wang Jiang with a smile.

At this, Wang Fan shook his head laughing: "Next time for you two. Director Deng got the most investment. This time the meal is unavoidable, say yes or no?"

"Invite? Of course! Tonight, nobody leaves early!" Deng Wenxiong chuckled decisively.

Securing a hundred million investment was beyond his wildest dreams. He wasn’t sure why Su Qing held such confidence in his script despite being cash-strapped and borrowing to gather investment; he was certain they’d never met before.

Truth be told, he doesn’t even believe in himself that much, yet someone willingly lent money to invest.

Soon, the four arrived at a restaurant. Wang Fan posted photos of their contract on the director group chat, including the sums they received.

"OMG, Baiwen Entertainment threw 1.4 billion right away, definitely deep pockets!"

"Shame my script wasn’t chosen!"

"Old Zhao, your remake pick is bold; who’d dare redo ’Bright Sword’? That classic mishandled would be such a scandal!"

"Right, try another script maybe."

"Why wasn’t my ’You’re Especially Beautiful When You Smile’ picked? E-sports romance, huge market! Isn’t President Su clueless?"

"@Old Wang, quick, I’ve news, heading to the capital. Could you introduce me to President Su, please!"

"Me too, just got a script—old Wang, opps, I mean ’old friend,’ mutual prosperity!"

The group chat erupted in discussions; many sought Wang Fan for introductions to Su Qing hoping for investment.

After all, prior alerts reached few. How many directors nationwide?

Previously, Wang Fan’s tales didn’t weigh much, but seeing three get funded, with one securing over a billion, stirs discomfort.

No one dislikes more project investments these days—scripts abound, payers are kings.

Soon, in director circles, Su Qing’s Baiwen Company created quite a sensation.
