Anny seed thoughtful after hearing Bian Yue’s words, and paused for a mont, curiously asked: "President Bian, do you think there could be... so kind of conspiracy?"
Bian Yue looked at Anny with amusent and teased, "Since when did you beco so cautious?"
"It’s not that I’m being overly cautious, but recently Red Mountain Capital has funded a lot of film and TV projects. Who knows what they’re up to." Anny frowned, her voice hesitant, "We’re at a critical phase of growth right now; we can’t afford any mishaps."
As the elevator numbers climbed upward, Bian Yue calmly tilted her head up to watch, her voice soft and light, "Do you know why I haven’t been to the office these days?"
"Why?"
With a faint smile, Bian Yue said, "I’ve been dealing with inheritance matters."
Anny had so understanding of Bian Yue’s family background, so upon hearing this, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked uncertainly, "You an..."
"I have the Bian Family’s inheritance at my disposal now. Mintang dia won’t have any financial issues, and as for collaboration with Red Mountain, we are no longer in a weaker position." Bian Yue smiled serenely, "Let’s play it by ear when we get there."
Anny was still marveling at the sudden fortune of Bian Yue and followed her out of the elevator, showing an uncharacteristic gossiping curiosity: "President Bian, now that you’re... so wealthy, do you still plan to run your company?"
Such a large sum of money would be enough for several generations to live extravagantly without any worries.
Bian Yue didn’t respond. In fact, what she wanted was more than just money.
She wanted power.
The power to revive the Bian Family.
Bian Yue was only 16 years old when the Bian Family fell from grace, too young to handle such a ss.
But now, she had the capital to make a coback.
This idea wasn’t very clear at first, but after marrying Shen Jinci, it gradually took on a firm shape.
The power of the Shen and Li Families was almost equal, but Li Sihe did not have the sa level of influence over family affairs as Shen Jinci, which is why Li was so constrained and used his illness as an opportunity to reclaim his inheritance.
Bian Yue wanted to beco soone like Shen Jinci.
Naturally, this was a long road ahead, and Mintang dia was Bian Yue’s starting point. Here, she would lay the foundation for her own film and television empire.
The two walked into the conference room; Wang Dan’an and Yao Yimin were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.
The slender figure of the woman, with her back to the door, radiated an elegant deanor. Hearing the noise, she turned her head casually, showing an expression both refined and intelligent. The depth of her experience was not betrayed by her youthful looks.
Bian Yue t the woman’s gaze, smiled and said, "This lady must be Miss Yao Yimin?"
"President Bian," Yao Yimin stood up and nodded her head in greeting towards Bian Yue.
Seeing this, Wang Dan’an smiled and said, "President Bian, this is Yimin. I’m entrusting her to you; don’t let down!"
Bian Yue looked at Yao Yimin’s carefully sculpted face, which possessed not only beauty but also the sense of story that all actors strive for.
"President Wang, since you’ve recomnded such an outstanding actor to , I naturally won’t let you down." Bian Yue casually sat down and quietly instructed an assistant to add two more sets of teaware for herself and Anny.
"I’ve been wanting to et with President Bian for so ti, but I heard you were busy, so I didn’t make a visit." Wang Dan’an’s shrewd eyes asured Bian Yue’s expressions, unblinkingly, "I heard... Mr. Li has been unwell, is he better now?"
Yao Yimin, already engrossed in the script, distanced herself politely from the conversation between her boss and Bian Yue.
Anny chuckled and took over the conversation, "President Wang, aren’t we here to discuss cooperation today? Mr. Li’s health... that’s a private matter for President Bian, isn’t it?"
"Even though that’s the case, but..." Wang Dan’an smiled with profound aning, "I also have so cooperation with Mr. Li, so out of partnership considerations, I can’t help but show concern."
"Cooperation with Mr. Li?" Anny furrowed her brows, looking astonishedly towards Bian Yue.
Bian Yue’s expression remained calm as she sipped her tea. Just then, she slowly put down her cup, her voice still unruffled, "Since President Wang has dealings with Li Sihe, why not ask him directly?"
"Eh... President Bian, you know, Mr. Li doesn’t like people prying too much into his affairs..." Wang Dan’an let out a light sigh, before smoothly transitioning, "President Bian, have you looked at the actor profiles I sent you?"
Bian Yue said she had.
"There’s an actress nad Su Youxue in there; what do you think of her?"
Wang Dan’an smiled and slowly said, "I’m thinking of putting her with Yimin in the cast of ’Shengshi Yan’, as a gesture for looking after Mr. Li for so ti. Of course, you can train her however you see fit, President Bian. A new actor, after all, needs to be taught rigorously."
Bian Yue understood what Wang Dan’an was trying to do.
He wanted to test her relationship with Li Sihe.
If Bian Yue had any involvent with Li Sihe, then Wang Dan’an having Su Youxue sent to Li Sihe’s side would undoubtedly irritate Bian Yue, and so now, he presented her to Bian Yue to make ands.
Bian Yue sneered, insisting on keeping things professional, her tone steady, "This Su Youxue hasn’t acted before; I don’t want my project to beco her classroom."
"Indeed, Su Youxue still needs to improve her acting skills."
Seeing Bian Yue not taking the bait and not giving any face, Wang Dan’an let it go, smoothly adding, "Since that’s the case, let’s leave it for another ti then. President Bian, I wish us a delightful cooperation in advance."
After finishing, he stood up and reached out his hand toward Bian Yue.
Bian Yue raised her eyes to see Wang Dan’an’s cunning and calculating face, a person who had spent a lifeti dealing with business and didn’t want to miss out on any advantage.
Bian Yue let Wang Dan’an hold out his hand without taking it.
She chuckled lightly, her voice indifferent, "President Wang, let be blunt. I don’t care what agreents or understandings you’ve reached with the Fengcheng Group, but at Mintang, our interests co first. It’s only right for you to seek profits here, but don’t think of using as a stepping stone to curry favor with Li Sihe."
Wang Dan’an’s expression stiffened, his smile freezing on his face.
In Wang Dan’an’s view, Bian Yue was just a young girl. While sowhat clever, she wasn’t to be feared.
But now, she was speaking so boldly to him, causing Wang Dan’an’s face to drop, and after a mont, he said with a smile, "President Bian, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying."
Beside them, Yao Yimin’s hand holding the script paused slightly as she cast a glance at Bian Yue.
Bian Yue spoke again, her voice even more nonchalant, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just know that Su Youxue, whom you could send as a favor to Li Sihe, doesn’t need to be put under my nose for my gratification because his private matters don’t concern in the least."
"I get your point now," said Wang Dan’an, smiling, "Rest assured, I won’t let Honey suffer any losses."
After Wang Dan’an’s departure, Yao Yimin finally put down the script and looked at Bian Yue: "President Bian’s personality is more interesting than I anticipated."
