Chapter 73

When Xia Xiaoxiao was patted on the shoulder by President Chu and smelled the light fragrance of the boss, her mind was completely blank. She stood on the spot like a statue. She was unable to describe her feelings at the time. She couldn’t even care to hear the words clearly as excitement was overflowing in her chest!

Xia Xiaoxiao: My idol patted my shoulder, patted my shoulder, patted my shoulder——

When Chu Chu heard the cue of the strange sound, her movements became stiff and she didn’t expect to have such a title.

Chu Chu: Who wants to be the owner of the fish pond??

She retracted her hand like an electric shock, as if being scalded by the scales of Koi Xia Xiaoxiao.

Although everyone knew that parachuted soldier Xia Xiaoxiao was Chu Chu’s confidant, it was the first time that she admitted so frankly in public.

The CEO of Chenxing Films turned blue and bluntly said, “President Chu, I understand that you want to promote newcomers, but we are all seniors of Chenxing. This is really unfair…”

He didn’t expect her sudden visit. He couldn’t explain his behavior in persuading Xia Xiaoxiao to retreat, so he just bit the bullet and beat her down. Everyone had natural hostility towards the parachuters and if conflicts were intensified, it wouldn’t be harmful to him.

Xia Xiaoxiao had no work experience, but was leapfrogging again. She was completely soaring. Even if other people understood the truth, they would inevitably still feel dissatisfied and couldn’t accept such unfair treatment.

Chu Chuyun glanced at him and asked, “Do you think I am unfair?”

He nodded and said, “The company has its own promotion mechanism. Even if you are the boss, you should respect the basic system.”

Chu Chu smiled, “If you shut up now, we can still get together and relax.”

The CEO of Chenxing Film and Television said awe-inspiringly, “Honest advice is unpleasant to ears but is conducive to action. Even if you ask me to leave because of this, I have to say it.”

“You are quite capable of setting up a good image for yourself? You have turned into an outspoken loyal minister?” Chu Chu applauded admiringly at his hypocritical face and then said coolly, “Well, let’s talk, how much money did you rob from the project before?”

“President Chu, I’m an upright person. I don’t understand what you are talking about…” Chenxing CEO’s heart jumped, but his face was still polite.

“If the water is clear, there will be no fish. I opened one eye and closed one eye and let people underneath make some money, otherwise there will be no enthusiasm.” Chu Chu said slowly, “You really made me calculate the past accounts..”

Chu Chu hadn’t noticed the problems of Chenxing Film and Television before, but when she negotiated with the director and asked about prices, she had gradually figured out the prices of films in the world in the novel. Although the financial report of Chenxing Film and Television seemed to have no problem, there were actually many suspicious parts in the cost of the TV series.

Insiders know the ropes, while outsiders watch the show*. As long as Chu Chu roughly knew how much they should pay the actors and creators, she could basically estimate the total cost of the TV drama project. Experienced producers could actually see how much money could be spent at a glance. How many main shooting scenes were there, how many group performances and people were needed and how long the shoot was… as long as these data were clear, the estimated total expenditure could be known.

In addition, the above-average payment for directors and actors was nothing more than a secret move. That form was similar to a rebate. The CEO of Chenxing Film and Television had been operating for many years and had taken a lot of money.

Yinda invested in too many subsidiaries. It was impossible for Zhang Jianian to monitor every project in the company. As long as the CEO of Chenxing Films smoothed out the financial report and made good profits every year, that small private money plunder was only small. Chu Chu understood the truth and didn’t immediately take action. She wanted to make a smooth transition to exchange blood for Chenxing, but she didn’t expect the other person to sit still.

Xia Xiaoxiao was President Chu’s person. If she was responsible for the entire project, wouldn’t she learn the secrets of it?

Chenxing Film and Television produced many TV series. If the boss found it to be twisted and turned, the CEO’s position would be over.

“You have been with Chenxing for so many years. The company has indeed grown a lot. I can credit you for your hard work. I don’t care about the small amount of money you plunder. This could be said to be a fee for your hard work…” Chu Chu looked calm, “But if you really want to make trouble, don’t blame me for turning my face and being ruthless.”

The CEO of Chenxing Film and Television got pale. He had planned to fight for his position first, but he didn’t expect that President Chu knew everything.

Chu Chu raised her eyebrows, “What? Do you have to turn over the account of the crew and let me check them one by one before you admit it?”

The CEO immediately lost his confidence and said, “President Chu, work handover takes time. You need to find a successor first…”

The CEO of Chenxing Film and Television knew that he definitely had to leave. President Chu just didn’t do everything right and barely left a trace of respect for him. He was a man of wit. His momentum weakened and he used a slowing strategy.

“It’s not that troublesome. The position of the general manager will be vacant. No one in this world is so important that they are irreplaceable,” Chu Chu cut the mess quickly and gave him no chance to drag on. She had long wanted to replace several senior members of Chenxing, but now she just did it in advance.

He was speechless. President Chu had decisively cut him off as if she was prepared.

The turmoil came and went quickly. Chenxing Film and Television changed overnight and the senior leaders disappeared. The people from the departure of the former CEO left the company. They all knew that they wouldn’t be able to protect themselves if they stayed behind. It would be better to hurry and retreat before President Chu took action.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn’t expect that a simple private conversation would actually cause a big change in the company. After a brief period of panic, the company smoothly returned to stability, like ripples caused by small stones on the water and finally returned to calm.

The position of the CEO of Chenxing Film and Television was vacant. President Chu took the decision and personally managed some affairs.

She was completely unaffected, not only guarded the company, but also handled the work of “Rouge” calmly. She looked more relaxed than before. Not only did she get the freshly released script, she also started the casting. The project progressed quite smoothly.

In private, Xia Xiaoxiao was full of doubts and asked, “President Chu, why don’t you care about the money they plundered?”
