CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 72 LIN FAN DECLARES: LOSING MONEY IS NOT A PROBLEM

The boss is here!

After Lin Fan acquired Tourist Comics entirely, it was his first time visiting the company, immediately causing a stir across the entire office.

The company’s executives quickly rushed out to greet him, not daring to slack off in the least.

They might not care about the president, but Lin Fan was the owner of the company, holding the power of life and death over them, and no one dared offend him in the slightest.

When they saw Lin Fan was just a young man of about 20 years old, they were all shocked. The boss is too young!

So young, yet he owns 100% of Tourist Comics!

And the boss is so handsome!

Boo hoo hoo, he’s so handsome!

The female employees of the company all had a crush on him.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s thrift shop clothes didn’t matter at all.

"The boss is so low-key!"

"So rich and dressed so plainly, really down-to-earth!"

"Low-key, not flashy about wealth, young, handsome, and of the highest caliber, the boss is truly full of positive energy!"

Everyone wished they could shower praise on Lin Fan, who’s head-to-toe in thrift shop clothing.

Even the executives finally understood why Chen Lingling, this young girl, could be their superior. It seemed like Chen Lingling was the boss’s girlfriend, which made sense now.

Editor Bai was already shaking like a sieve in the corner, his face pale.

Today was really unlucky, he had offended the boss’s girlfriend and the boss himself in quick succession, thinking you’re courting death!

If he didn’t remedy the situation quickly, things would end up very badly for him.

Editor Bai quickly sidled up to Chen Lingling with a fawning smile: "President, I’ve quickly reviewed your past submissions, and after my careful and professional examination, I’ve realized that your talent is outstanding, and these works are rare genius pieces! I have decided that the next issue of the comic will feature your work as the main highlight."

Chen Lingling curiously said: "Teacher Bai, didn’t you just say that I had no talent and should change careers as soon as possible? This is..."

This was awkward.

Editor Bai awkwardly smiled: "Before, I was the one who failed to recognize talent and saw you through the wrong lens. Now I realize that it was my lack of ability to understand your work properly. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness, President."

Editor Bai’s dog-like fawning appearance made everyone frown.

This suck-up behavior was way too obvious.

Earlier he was arrogant and rude to the President, but after learning her true identity, he became all sycophantic!

Regarding whether Chen Lingling’s work was good or bad, it suddenly became unimportant.

People like Editor Bai were not surprising to Lin Fan, who said lightly: "Whether Lingling’s work is good or not, it’s not up to you or me to decide. Since you’ve decided to publish it, why not let the readers judge it."

Editor Bai hastily said: "The boss is right, I will do my utmost to make this issue the best it can be."

Editor Bai wiped the cold sweat from his brow, luckily his ability to flatter saved his job.

Lin Fan glanced at the executives and said: "I heard from Lingling that the company plans to produce a film but hasn’t decided on the theme yet, what’s the situation with that?"

Director Zhao said: "Yes, most of us agree on filming a Journey to the West theme, but a minority, including the President, want to film Nezha. We think this theme is too niche and lacks value."

Lin Fan responded with an "oh" and said, "Lingling, share your thoughts."

Chen Lingling said: "Nezha is indeed quite niche, but I think as long as it’s done well, there will be a market for it. After all, Nezha is also a household mythological figure. The reason this theme seems niche is just due to a lack of good works. We might as well be the first ones to dare to venture into it."

Hearing this, Editor Bai quickly looked down and rummaged through his things, soon finding a notebook.

"President, this is your Nezha-themed work, ’The Birth of the Demon Child.’ I just reviewed it again, and it’s truly a masterpiece. Using this as a blueprint, we can surely produce an unprecedented Nezha movie, with a box office earning of 3 billion!" Editor Bai complimented.

Director Zhao was furious. Editor Bai, the bootlicker, only knows how to kneel and suck up, ruining things!

Talking about a 3 billion box office, no domestic animation has ever reached that. The most was 1 billion!

Not to mention such a niche theme like Nezha, it’s definitely impossible!

Director Zhao said: "Boss, the President makes a good point, being the first to take the plunge is commendable, but the reality is harsh. I’m afraid this ’crab’ will choke us. I believe focusing on a popular theme like Journey to the West is more stable."

This Director Zhao dared to challenge the President; he’s a bit arrogant. If Chen Lingling compromised this time, she’d be walked over in the future, making it hard to be a respectable president.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "My style is to take bold and pioneering steps, rather than just seeking stability. Go ahead and tackle this ’crab,’ even if it results in a loss, money is not an issue."

Money is not an issue!

Even if there’s a loss, it’s alright!

These words struck heavily at everyone’s heart.

The boss is truly too charming. Wealthy people speak with such calm yet overwhelming confidence.

With Lin Fan’s assurance, everyone felt reassured as if they took a calming pill.

Director Zhao dared to challenge Chen Lingling but didn’t dare to challenge Lin Fan, hurriedly saying: "Lesson learned from the boss, the President is right, I was too conservative."

This dispute was thus resolved by Lin Fan’s single statement, and Tourist Comics eventually decided to start filming the Nezha movie.

Afterwards, the executives held a meeting to discuss the Nezha movie, ultimately deciding to adapt the film using Chen Lingling’s ’The Birth of the Demon Child’ as a blueprint, with Chen Lingling personally responsible for writing the script.

After the meeting, it was already lunchtime.

Lin Fan and Chen Lingling left the company to eat out.

Seeing them get on a Kosak, the company staff were in awe.

A top-level supercar worth tens of millions, the boss is truly wealthy!

No wonder he says money isn’t an issue!

Boo hoo hoo, working for such a wealthy boss feels so blissful.

"Brother, thank you. If it weren’t for you helping me out, I definitely couldn’t handle Director Zhao and those people." Chen Lingling said, her face flushed.

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Being President isn’t easy, you need to conquer them with strength. When you’re strong enough, they’ll naturally abide."

Chen Lingling felt her brother made too much sense. For instance, her brother’s strength is just two words: wealth.

Whenever brother speaks, who in the company dares to say a ’no’?!

But she couldn’t just use money like her brother to convince people.

"Brother, rest assured, I will certainly make this movie well, and surprise everyone!" Chen Lingling seriously said, her hot-blooded passionate girl spirit igniting.

The two then went to a restaurant to eat.

While eating, Chen Lingling suddenly received a WeChat message from Little Mei.

Chen Lingling said: "Brother, Little Mei says she wants to meet me."

Lin Fan let out an "oh": "Did you tell her about her boyfriend’s cheating?"

The previous night, Lin Fan inadvertently captured footage of the BMW guy cheating, so he informed Chen Lingling, letting her decide whether to tell Little Mei.

Chen Lingling nodded. She hadn’t hesitated long before telling Little Mei last night, as Little Mei was her friend, and she didn’t want her friend to be deceived by a scumbag.

But after sending the message, Little Mei seemingly disappeared without replying until now, suddenly saying she wanted to meet with Chen Lingling.

"Brother, I can’t stop worrying about her," Chen Lingling said.

Lin Fan said: "Alright, let’s go meet her."

The two hurriedly finished their meal and headed to Computer City.

Little Mei was waiting by the roadside, and upon seeing the Kosak and Lin Fan accompanying Chen Lingling, her eyes were full of jealousy, without any attempt to hide it.

Chen Lingling was just about to greet Little Mei.

But Little Mei rushed over and started scolding: "Chen Lingling, you bitch, to think I considered you a friend yet you’re doing this to me. You’re living so well yourself, but you want to ruin my happiness!"
