Chapter 159: 159 Zhongxing Major Reform

Yan Yueqing replied cheerfully, "Director Tang, being able to carve out a clean reputation in such a complicated entertainment industry, I believe you have both the strength and the ambition! Acquiring Zhongxing is a gift I am giving to my son, and it is also my counter against some of the unreasonable phenomena in the entertainment circle over the years. However..." She paused, "Director Tang, there’s something I need to communicate with you in advance."

Director Tang rarely heard her speak with such seriousness and replied with equal gravity, "Please speak, President Yue."

"It’s not easy to maintain one’s purity in a not-so-clean circle, let alone to change the circle... The introduction of new capital, policy reform will inevitably cause turbulence and draw more eyes on us. In the road ahead, we cannot afford to err by even a little point."

Director Tang understood clearly, "I get it! From the moment I chose this path, I was ready for a tough fight."

Yan Yueqing continued, "You don’t have to fear the external encirclement and blockades, I will take care of those. As for within the company... I have three demands!"

"Please say them."

"First, purge the cancer. Within half a year, remove all the troublemakers from the company.

Second, convene all employees and re-sign labor contract agreements.

Third, everyone in the company must absolutely not engage in any illegal or disorderly activities! Arrange for regular check-ups, urine tests, and hair tests to prevent them—anyway, once any problems are discovered, terminate them immediately and never rehire, and pursue their legal responsibilities."

Director Tang was excited by her decisive measures!

Honestly, even a small company has its share of dirty dealings, let alone a large one like Zhongxing?

The existence of artists is often entangled with some capital or big shots, making it difficult to cleanly break away.

The circle didn’t become dirty overnight, and nobody has the courage to make a clean break to eradicate these strange customs.

But President Yue did!

Director Tang remarked with emotion, "This is very difficult to do, but I will complete it as soon as possible without affecting the normal operation of the company."

His answer was rather understated.

Yan Yueqing heard the hesitation in Director Tang’s voice and comforted, "Cost is no object."

Four words, exuding immense boldness!

Director Tang: Cost is no object like that powerful, huh?!

But even with Yan Yueqing saying such words, he still did not dare to guarantee that he could resolve the issues quickly.

Zhongxing had been operating for some time, and several shareholders had placed their own people in key positions.

The other departments were negotiable, but Zhang Qin, the chief of the finance department, was Director Yang’s person!

These days, no boss dared to offend the finance department.

The things Zhang Qin held in her hands were like the lifeline of the company.

Who can guarantee that every penny of Zhongxing’s past was clean?

Wanting to replace Zhang Qin in a short time, not only would it be hard to find a replacement, but it would also likely provoke a backlash.

After pondering for a while, Director Tang asked, "President Yue, other departments are manageable, but the finance department is crucial. I have a friend called Li Feishi, the one who recently planned to start his own studio..."

He vaguely remembered mentioning this friend, "I want to invite him to help in the finance department. He’s an elite in finance and very close to me. If the company’s transformation results in a collective strike from the people in finance, we can still operate normally with him on board."

Li Feishi?

That name snapped Yan Yueqing back to clarity!

An elite in finance equals tampering with financial affairs...

Very close to Director Tang? Emmm, it will be quite close behind iron bars...

There’s no big problem with that description.

But she decisively refused, "Director Tang, I will arrange for someone to handle the finance department. It will be a team that has been with the Yan Family for over a decade. They can manage a Zhongxing."

She had talked to Grandpa about the shares. According to the current laws of Hua Country, shareholding must be made public. Yan Yueqing planned to find an opportunity to transfer the shares but felt it was best to arrange for her own people in the core departments of the company sooner rather than later.

When Director Tang heard this, he did not feel a lack of trust from the boss. Instead, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

President Yue is really great!

Even the most difficult tasks I’ve taken care of for him!

What’s left, mindless slaughter?!

Of course~~~~~~~

Let her be responsible for the chaos!

I’ll be responsible for the giggling!

After finalizing the details with President Yue, Director Tang posted on Weibo the same night.

The title was very eye-catching—"Zhongxing Reform Plan".

The opening paragraph welcomed the mysterious new owner of Zhongxing, followed by a series of explosive revelations.

All artist contracts were to be renewed, changing from a seven-year term to an annual one? Aren’t they afraid the artists will run away?

Under President Yue’s absolute control, Director Tang didn’t communicate with the other directors beforehand, aiming to catch them off guard!

Netizens were blown away just by the title, and even more so when they read the content, surprised beyond belief.

"My goodness, is the entertainment industry about to undergo a huge change?"

"Isn’t this the biggest scoop of the year? Is Zhongxing trying to make history?"

"Make history? There wasn’t even a term ’entertainment industry’ back in the day. The artistic talents devoted themselves to the film industry to present the world with wonderful performances! I don’t know when it started, but artists and stars no longer work diligently, always looking for shortcuts."

"Honestly, in the past, actors were considered to be part of the lower class, but now they are being hailed as more important than scientific researchers."

"Is Director Tang aiming for a major shake-up with this move?"

"I won’t comment on the rest, but just the fact that there are two mandatory drug tests for artists each year, the urine and hair testing, does this mean what I think it means?!"

"This is great! Every time there’s gossip about an artist using drugs, they just take their time and issue a lawyer’s letter. But Director Tang’s method is better, urine tests can detect drug use within the past month, and hair follicle tests can detect it within the past six months!"

"This move is really honoring the efforts of the narcotics officers! Just thinking about how hard they work and the sacrifices they make in the fight against drugs, while some artists pretend to be anti-drug ambassadors but are actually snorting drugs behind the scenes... wow. And then there are fans who defend them saying they only did drugs and didn’t kill anyone. Damn, that is just astonishing! What warped values! Just because someone is an artist, they get to break the law?!"

"It’s hard to disagree!"

Director Tang knew how explosive this plan would be once released. After glancing briefly at the rapidly increasing comments, he picked up his phone to contact Qian Yezhou to continue ironing out the contract details.

Inside the guest room, Housekeeper Mu came in with a bag of items: "Master, I have prepared everything you asked for."

Jun Lii turned his head, glanced at the tea-making equipment in Housekeeper Mu’s hands, and nodded gently.

Unlike his cold demeanor during the day, at this moment he exuded a warm and gentle aura.

"Please take it to the pavilion where I rested in the afternoon."

Housekeeper Mu was a bit curious: "Master, are you planning to enjoy the moon so late at night?"

Jun Lii’s lips formed a faint smile: "I have a meeting scheduled."

Housekeeper Mu felt it was strange.

Why did the Master suddenly become so sophisticated and gentle? It’s as if he was possessed by someone else.

How odd...

But he didn’t say much, just nodded: "Okay."

Meanwhile, Yan Yueqing hung up the phone, feeling extremely refreshed.

Learning leads to progress, she said, "Tong Bao, activate the Space Package, I want to continue learning about business."

The system spoke up: "Host, the system is currently undergoing maintenance and cannot use any functions temporarily."

What? You need maintenance too?

Yan Yueqing pondered for a while: "Well then, I’ll go to bed early tonight!"

The system was silent for a moment: "Host, the night is young, why not go out for a walk?"
