CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 161: SPREADING DOG FOOD

As soon as he stepped inside, Sam Clarke felt an invisible pressure filling the air.

This oppression made him involuntarily tense up.

He approached William Foster respectfully and asked, "Mr. William Foster, is there anything you would like me to do?"

The unrest in his tone still revealed his true emotional state at the moment.

However, the other party did not immediately respond but instead stared at him sharply for a while before slowly asking a seemingly simple yet deeply meaningful question, "Do you know why ancient people always transported food first before going to war?"

Sam, after taking a deep breath in, cautiously explained to appear more insightful, "This is because without sufficient food supplies, warriors find it difficult to achieve victory. Only by ensuring food supply can soldiers devote themselves wholly to the battle without any worries or concerns."

William Foster sneered in response and then, with a tone full of anger yet suppressed dissatisfaction, retorted, "So it seems you do understand the principle! Then please tell me, why is it that despite investing so much money in this film project, my wife cannot have a properly satisfying meal, even the most basic dining conditions are not up to par!"

Facing the blame, Sam quickly defended himself, "Mr. William Foster, actually, this happened due to a sudden change in shooting locations, leaving us unable to prepare accordingly—"

"I don’t want to hear excuses."

William Foster glared at him, his eyes full of seriousness and dissatisfaction, "All I know is, I am paying you eight figures in salary, yet my wife isn’t eating well. This is really disappointing to me."

Sam nearly knelt before him, panic stricken inside.

What does it mean by leaving his wife hungry?

This misunderstanding is way too big.

He understood that this time things were not handled well enough but it wasn’t that serious.

However, Sam had to earn his salary back, after all, it was part of his duties.

Sigh, doesn’t every job have a difficult boss?

Sometimes, more patience and wisdom are all that’s needed to deal with such situations.

Thus, he lowered his head and admitted fault, "Next time, it won’t happen. I will arrange for six chefs to accompany the crew, ensuring Young Madam’s meals and snacks are all set, so she can eat well and drink well, just as comfortably as at home. That way, she won’t have to worry about going hungry due to work."

William Foster finally nodded, seemingly satisfied with this solution, "I heard she has fighting scenes, shooting will be tough, arrange some massage therapists or something to help her relieve physical fatigue."

Sam immediately responded, "Okay, I’ll arrange it right away, ensuring everything is in place, so Young Madam can rest comfortably."

William Foster added, "Still, keep it low profile, don’t go too high profile. I don’t want others to know about this special treatment, lest it causes inconvenience for her work or stirs resentment among other colleagues, or unnecessary trouble."

Sam nodded in acknowledgment, seriously responded, "I will communicate well with them, just say the investor is considerate and usually cares about his subordinates this much. This way, Young Madam can enjoy the privileges, while maintaining team harmony and stability."

William Foster nodded in agreement, "Good, let’s do that. I hope you truly understand my intention and handle this well."

Seeing William Foster not as angry as before, Sam finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off his chest.

Dealing with the boss is like living with a tiger, a slight misstep can bring about a storm.

For now, this problem is temporarily solved.

He sincerely hoped the office of the Foster family would be renovated soon, so he could return to his position as the company secretary and do what he’s supposed to.

Compared to being involved in the CEO’s family drama, he preferred to focus on work-related matters.

After all, the couple is sweet and loving every day, causing him to eat dog food unwillingly as an onlooker and often dragging him into trouble.

He just wondered why he keeps encountering these head-scratching situations.

After William Foster arranged Clara Bennett’s dinner, on the other side, George Taylor didn’t know about it.

Noticing Clara Bennett didn’t come to find him for a meal, George Taylor, still hopeful, came to look again.

He was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Clara Bennett didn’t actively seek him this time, but he still hoped for more opportunities to interact.

Regarding the crew’s bad food issue, another person also heard about it — Nell Sue.

When she learned this news, she immediately got excited, sensing a perfect opportunity to showcase herself.

She wanted to use this opportunity to stand out in front of others.

The issue of the crew’s unpalatable boxed meals was informed to her by her manager.

To continuously gain information about the crew’s dynamics, the manager once invited some of the crew’s staff for drinks several times, after forming a good relationship, this time that staff member started complaining.

"This place is terrible, because we’re unfamiliar with the shooting location, don’t even know where to order food appropriately. Finally, found a place to order meals, but the food was truly unacceptable. Always worried about getting criticized for this, but buying nice meals just for the main creative team, there were challenges of preferential treatment from former crews, so we dare not do so."

Previously, in the entertainment industry, there was a case.

In one crew, the leading actors and directors had higher quality meals while ordinary members only had inferior boxed meals, later on, when this was exposed, it received severe backlash from netizens, since then, everyone has been very cautious of such behaviors.

Therefore, to avoid similar incidents, the crew decided to treat all boxed meals equally, ensuring everyone receives the same treatment.

Of course, if people want something in private, it’s completely up to personal choice.

Thus, George Taylor, with prior information, arranged better dinners for himself, ensuring his diet quality wouldn’t be impacted.

The reason for not informing Clara Bennett was entirely out of George Taylor’s personal selfish consideration.

Since getting off the plane, George Taylor felt a subtle change between him and Clara Bennett, wholeheartedly wanting to get closer in relationship, so he expressed to the staff he would pass on messages.

He hoped to enhance the relationship with Clara Bennett through these small details but didn’t want to appear too obvious, fearing it would cause her aversion.

Since at that time Clara Bennett didn’t have her assistant with her, she ultimately missed the message.

If she had an assistant with her at that critical moment, perhaps things would be different, but she happened to be alone, resulting in missing crucial information.

Listening to this, the manager reminded Nell Sue, "This is a good opportunity for you to shine; you’re always proficient at offering timely help in situations like this."

The manager’s tone was full of expectation and encouragement, as if it’s not only a great chance to assist others but also a crucial step in elevating her status.
