One sentence to sum up Shen Yan’s point was that those who wanted to leave had to pay for the breach of contract, while those who don’t want to leave can stay and Imperial Star Entertainment would definitely not mistreat them.

In the conference room.

At this moment, the conference room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard. Everyone looked at Shen Yan silently, who was sitting on the top seat.

Shen Yan calmly expressed her thoughts. The solution to handle the company’s staff was not to retain or drive them away. It was entirely up to them to decide.

As for the matter of the cinema, Shen Yan assured confidently that it would be resolved in less than three days.

This meeting was Shen Yan’s unilateral announcement of the company’s situation, along with her solution.

The meeting soon ended and the various group chat within the company exploded.

Everyone in the company understood Shen Yan’s intention and were all taken aback.

They originally wanted to use this opportunity to get some benefits from the company, but Shen Yan’s attitude made them hesitate.

Imperial Star Entertainment was able to gain a foothold in Z nation within a short period of five years. Thus, its strength was not to be underestimated. Although Imperial Star was now boycotted by the Z nation’s cinema chains, there might still be a turn of events, as the entertainment industry was a place where profits were paramount.

Most people were waiting quietly, and only a small number of people proposed their resignation.

Two days later, Shen Yan went to the company as usual.

As soon as she arrived at the office, Miss Na came over with a bouquet of flowers. She smiled and explained, “Miss Shen, this bouquet is from the Sixth Young Master of the Zhou family.”

What was the situation with him?

Shen Yan glanced at the roses and uttered, “It’s yours now.”

Miss Na stood still in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.

“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?” Miss Na held her phone and asked politely.

“Hello, I’m Su Ming. I’m the general manager of Wang Hua Cinema. Our company wishes to collaborate with you. We hope that your company can sell us the rights to the movie ‘The Way of the Stars’. Is that okay?”

Miss Na glanced at Shen Yan in awe.

After all, most of the cinemas in Z nation were not willing to collaborate with Imperial Star Entertainment. Shen Yan came to the company every day for the past two days and did nothing else. However, she was able to make Wang Hua Cinema, one of the top cinema, change their mind.

Miss Na smiled and replied, “Yes, it’s possible, except that the matter of the contract has to be renegotiated…”

After a while, Miss Na hung up the call, while still holding the flowers in her hand. She looked at Shen Yan with admiration and asked, “Miss Shen, how did you do it?”

“By the way, increase the income of all the people who didn’t leave by 10 percent.” Shen Yan grinned and looked at Miss Na, not answering her question. Then, she added, “For those who proposed their resignation, walk through their contracts as soon as possible.”

Miss Na nodded and inquired, “How much is appropriate for us to take for the contract with the cinema?”

“According to our usual practice, we will take 10 percent more,” Shen Yan responded, smiling. She would let those theater chains that had the guts to refuse to cooperate experience remorse.

When Miss Na came out of the office, she turned on her phone and saw the headlines of a famous Hollywood director inviting Shen Yan to star as the female lead of next year’s movie.

Miss Na understood in a second that if the cinemas boycotted Shen Yan this time, then Shen Yan’s new movie would not be released in the country. This would be a huge loss to the major cinema chains.

After sending Miss Na away, Shen Yan received a call from Chen Nian, so she took her bag and left.

The first impression everyone in the company had of Shen Yan was that she was rich. As there were no rich families with the surname of Shen, they assumed that Shen Yan’s sponsor was rich.

After this fiasco, everyone agreed that not only did Shen Yan have a powerful sponsor, but she was also smart enough.

Shen Yan arrived at the coffee shop that Chen Nian mentioned. A smile appeared on her face when she saw Chen Nian waving at her from not far away. She walked over in her high heels.

“Yanyan!” Chen Nian looked at Shen Yan eagerly. Then, she opened her phone and placed it in front of Shen Yan. “Look! This is Zhou Ye’s circle of friends. It’s especially lively.”

Zhou Ye posted a video of Shen Yan fighting in sportswear. He captioned, Shen Yan, the fairy in my heart!

Shen Yan frowned and raised her eyes to look at Chen Nian. She asked in confusion, “How did he know that I was the one fighting?”

Chen Nian smiled and took back her phone. She couldn’t help but say, “Well, you did suppress the trending searches. Although your face is blurred out in the video, look at who is standing next to you.”

Shen Yan knitted her brows upon seeing Chen Nian inside the video with a savage look.

“Actually, Zhou Ye definitely didn’t recognize me. It’s only those who are familiar with me that can recognize me. Zhou Ye only knew that it was you because his family has relatives in the Public Security Bureau. Thus, he asked someone to help him find out.”

Chen Nian smiled and asked tentatively, “What do you think of Zhou Ye?”

Chen Nian’s thoughts were very simple. As long as Shen Yan doesn’t get together with that scum, Fu Hang, everything would be fine!

Shen Yan took a sip of her coffee and put it back slowly. She responded, “A Nian, you should stop trying to set me up!”
