Chapter 1087: All Business People Are Evil

Translator: Yunyi

“I…” Huo Tian forced back the profane words that she wanted to say. Her smile froze. “I don’t need to, right? There’s nothing there for me, and there’s nothing I can do. It’ll be bad if I cause trouble for you.”

“It’s okay.” Song Yaoyao smiled. “I’m not afraid of trouble.”

Huo Tian was on the verge of tears. With a sad face, she said, “Do I really have to go?”

She watched Song Yaoyao go down the stairs. Words seem to appear on her back: ‘What do you think?’

“Ahhh! Seriously!” She gritted her teeth and glared at Song Yaoyao’s figure.

She really didn’t understand how Song Yaoyao had so much work! Yesterday, Song Yaoyao had handed over part of the work in the studio to Huo Tian. She wasn’t worried that Huo Tian would cause trouble at all. It wasn’t like she wanted to die…

The studio was located in an office building in the suburbs. Song Yaoyao had rented a floor there to use as an office.

Now that the studio was starting to take shape, it didn’t have enough people. Recently, Song Yaoyao had been thinking about how to recruit more staff.

In addition, she had other plans.

She pushed open the door and the wind chimes hanging above her rang.

This was Tang Xinrou’s first time in the studio. She looked around curiously. Each cubicle was no different from a normal company’s office area. On the table were all sorts of books, documents, planning tables, and data analysis reports. It looked a little messy.

“Director Song, you’re here!”

“Yaoyao.”

Meng Qiqi saw Song Yaoyao and stood up happily. “You’re here?”

“I brought food and drinks for you guys.”

Huo Si placed the items on the table. Whatever everyone wanted to eat, they would naturally come and get it.

“Thank you, Director Song!”

Apart from Meng Qiqi and the four roommates that Song Yaoyao had recruited, the others were recruited later.

There was post-production, editing, and so on. Actually, these could be outsourced, but Song Yaoyao liked to keep everything in her own hands. She was not short of money now. She had to ensure the quality of her work and not let down the trust of the audience.

“Huh? You guys arrived so quickly.”

Xu Yue rushed over. She took off her coat and placed it on a chair. She then took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Song Yaoyao. “The finished production is ready. This is a backup. You can take it back and have a look.” Recently, many television stations had approached them, wanting to buy the rights to the premiere of The Boyfriend Next Door. In this aspect, they still had to negotiate and see who would pay the highest price. Do you have any expectations in your heart, or do you have a preference for which television station?”

Song Yaoyao took the USB flash drive and the group walked towards the office inside.

Song Yaoyao had an office of her own. Although the number of times she came to the studio could be counted on one hand, Huo Jiu still prepared it for her.

The layout of her office was completely different from the office outside. The floor tiles were so clean that they reflected light. The decoration was simple and elegant, but it also carried a little warmth.

“And Yun Shuihan, her new script has been handed in. I’ll bring it to you later.”

“Is it a period drama?”

“No, it’s a time travel drama. She said she wants to challenge herself.”

Song Yaoyao nodded. “Post a recruitment post online and sign a few directors over.”

She couldn’t expand the studio by herself. Song Yaoyao wasn’t someone who liked to work with others and liked to hold power in her own hands, but she had been observing for a long time in school and had a few candidates in mind.

The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Xu Yue asked, “Didn’t you say that there were already candidates?”

“There’s no rush.”

Song Yaoyao hugged a little teddy bear in her arms as she slowly rubbed its face. “I can’t throw them an offer as soon as they graduate. Talented people are all arrogant. If I recruit them, it would cause trouble for me. Graduating is equivalent to entering unemployment, and the entertainment industry is already saturated; people can even claim to be directors just by shooting a short video. With no money, no staff, and no resources, is it that easy to stand out?”

Xu Yue and Tang Xinrou were both used to Song Yaoyao’s temper. One must not be bewitched by her sweet and soft appearance. Otherwise, they would definitely be scammed badly by her.

Only Huo Tian looked at Song Yaoyao in shock. She was stunned as she listened to her words.

She felt that she understood, but she didn’t seem to understand.

“We should let them suffer a beating from society. Then, we should pull them back and tell them that we can help them. After knowing that it’s hard to survive without money and power, they will naturally be grateful to me.”

Song Yaoyao chuckled, her eyes cunning. Her heels swayed as she lightly tapped the ground.

“All business people are evil.” Xu Yue sighed.

Tang Xinrou nodded heavily. “Fortunately, I’m not your enemy.”

Otherwise, it would be a miracle if she wasn’t toyed with to death.

Huo Tian pursed her lips. From the moment she entered the office, she had been silent.

“Take this. Remember, don’t lose it.”

“This…” Huo Tian felt like she had been through a lot. “Why don’t you keep it? If I lose it…”

She heard the completed drama was inside and they were discussing a partnership; it meant that they hadn’t sold it yet. From what Xu Yue said, it seemed like there were many stations competing for it too. Although she didn’t understand, she knew that if the thing in her hands was to be leaked, it would definitely be a huge loss.

“It’s okay, this is just a backup. Besides, it’s a password-protected USB that only your Auntie uses,” Tang Xinrou winked at Huo Tian and comforted her.

“Is that so…” She was much more relieved.

She pouted and put the USB drive into her bag. “You’re the one who wanted to give this to me. If I lose it, you can’t blame me.”

Hearing this, Song Yaoyao looked at her with a faint smile. “If you can lose a USB drive, what else can I count on you to do?”

Huo Tian clasped her fingers. “I’m just considering all possibilities.”

Why was she being so fierce?

“I’m going to the bathroom!” Song Yaoyao’s aura was too strong when she was in the office. Huo Tian was still not used to her serious look and immediately found an excuse to slip away.

The office door closed and Xu Yue sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised one of her eyebrows. “What’s wrong with her? What do you have planned?”

“Have you seen Dazzling You? What do you think of forming a girl group?”

“A girl group?”

Tang Xinrou was astonished. She was only interested in acting and the studio had yet to touch on the production of idols.

“Idols abroad are very popular. There aren’t any idols in China that are particularly good. If you’re confident, you can give it a try.” Xu Yue analyzed seriously, “However, the impact of overseas idolization culture on our country is too great. We might not be able to create much of an impact. It will only be popular for a period of time before it dies down.”

“Then, what do you think we can do to keep it popular?”

Xu Yue stroked her chin and narrowed her eyes. “Strength, backing, marketing, packaging… We can’t lack any of them.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yaoyao curled the corners of her lips. Her red lips were plump and full, and there was arrogance between her brows. “That’s good. I don’t lack any of these.”

…

It was rare for her to come to the studio, so Song Yaoyao treated the employees to a meal before leaving.
