“Indeed, there are quite a few lovely ladies at Hua Hong Films,” Lin Wu observed as he glanced around and muttered under his breath.

Walking ahead, Zhou Chao suddenly stopped, and Lin Wu, lost in thought, bumped into him.

Zhou Chao, wearing a stern expression, asked, “Planning to engage in sunspoken rules from now on? Believe me, 1 can tell Li Qian that you’ve been fooling around every day.”

Hearing this, Lin Wu immediately averted his gaze and said earnestly, “No, boss, 1 was just making casual remarks. You know my character, I’m an honest guy, never involved in anything shady.”

Zhou Chao sometimes wondered if it was due to Lin Wu frequently accompanying him on his travels that their ttogether was often limited. Lin Wu, in the prof his youth, had nowhere to vent his energy, which led to such situations.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s deep gaze, Lin Wu becanxious. “Boss, please don’t look atlike that; it’s a bit intimidating.”

“Things have been relatively quiet here lately. Why don’t you head back to Modu today? I’m afraid if you stay withfor a few more days, you’ll be eyeing every girl you cacross,” Zhou Chao suggested.

Lin Wu, feeling somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head. As a young and passionate man, he couldn’t deny that he had a penchant for beautiful women. “Boss, should I really go back?” he asked, uncertain.

“Yes, after we finish up here, you can head back to Modu. Spend squality twith your wife; there might be more work to do later.”

“Thank you, boss!” Lin Wu exclaimed with excitement, attracting curious glances from several Huaxia employees.

Ignoring the attention, Zhou Chao continued his tour with Lin Wu. After nearly half an hour, they had explored the entire Hua Hong Films office building.

“I wonder if Qin Ziwei and the others have finished their work,” Zhou Chao mused as they headed back towards the meeting room. However, upon entering the room, he found it empty, with everyone gone.

“Where is everyone? Did they finish their work?”

“It’s likely. Let’s check the CEO’s office; they should be there.” Earlier, Zhou Chao had noticed that the CEO’s office was on the sfloor they were on.

Sure enough, as they approached the CEO’s office, they could hear voices inside, and Qin Ziwei was among them.

Zhou Chao pushed the door open and entered. The people who had been chatting immediately stopped and greeted him, saying, “Boss/ Young Master Zhou!”

“Is everything taken care of?” Zhou Chao asked as he took a seat and looked at them.

“Boss, it’s all sorted out. We conducted the transactions at market prices, and the total cost was 2.26 billion. We’ve already reported it to headquarters!”

Zhou Chao nodded and looked at Fucheng, asking, “Have you both made up your minds, truly wanting to join my ranks?”

Fucheng and Zhaofang exchanged determined glances and replied, “Yes, Young Master Zhou. After all, we’ve nurtured Huaxia Films with our own hands, and we want to see it go even further and higher!”

“Very well,” Zhou Chao nodded and began to contemplate. Should he allow them to join? After all, they had been managing Hua Hong Films for many years, and their influence was widespread. Zhou Chao was unsure if retaining them in high positions would lead to any issues, as people’s intentions were often hidden.

Fucheng couldn’t help but feel nervous as he observed Zhou Chao’s silence. Was his plan about to fall through?

Just when Fucheng thought all hope was lost, Zhou Chao spoke, “Welcto the Dragonfly Group’s big family.”

Hearing this, Fucheng and Zhaofang stood up excitedly and said, “Thank you for your trust, Young Master Zhou. We will not disappoint you.”

Zhou Chao waved his hand gently, signaling them not to get too carried away.

“While I don’t mind if you continue to manage Hua Hong Films, your positions will undergo changes.”

“Boss, we’ll follow your arrangements!” Fucheng, a seasoned professional in the corporate world, understood Zhou Chao’s concerns. He didn’t want their faction to bectoo dominant.

“After all of Hua Hong Films’ stocks have been delisted, the film and television companies under the Dragonfly Group will separate from Hua Hong Films and restructure. Additionally, the two film and television bases will be affiliated with the new company. Oh, and there’s also a cinema chain. So, the future scale will be several times larger than it is now, and positions in the future will be based on merit.”

Zhou Chao paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and continued, “Currently, Qin Ziwei serves as the Chairman of Hua Hong Films, Fucheng as the Executive Director, and Zhaofang as the Vice Chairman. I hope you maintain the current situation and expedite the delisting process, preparing for the upcoming merger.”

“Boss, are you planning to separate all the film and television companies under the group?” Qin Ziwei was somewhat astonished at this point. Although the group’s film and television companies hadn’t produced many notable TV shows or films, except for a few stars who gained fame, they hadn’t produced anything impressive.

However, the initial focus on the online sector made it a dominant player in the country, with many well-known intecelebrities under its umbrella. It could be said that their monthly revenue surpassed Hua Hong Films’ entire annual income. If a merger occurred, a new leading enterprise in the film and television industry would emerge.

“Yes, that’s correct. So your most important task now is to get delisted to avoid any potential issues later on..”
