Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Who Makes Him the Omnipotent Male Lead?

"But..." Lin Manru’s tone shifted again, "Our studio has become popular because of Master Liu’s fame, we should really thank her properly, especially since she didn’t even charge for that piece of embroidery."

Not only that, Liu Suqing had completed it within a week.

The exquisite craftsmanship and surprising efficiency left Lin Manru in awe.

Jiang Li nodded, "Of course, we need to thank her."

She was a person who never liked owing anyone.

And she had already figured out how to thank Liu Suqing.

"Ah Lan, has Jiang Yan caused you any trouble recently?" After sorting out the studio’s matters, Lin Manru took an interest in Jiang Yan’s situation again.

After all, his shady history was there for all to see, and she really couldn’t believe that this old slick could reform in such a short period of time.

Shen Lan pondered for a moment, "I haven’t really managed him much, leaving it to the people below. They say that although Jiang Yan’s temper is not great, his attitude is acceptable and he’s hardworking at his job, so he can be cultivated."

"That’s good, thanks for your effort."

Hearing this, the old man couldn’t help but snort with an unhappy expression, "If you ask me, he shouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess. If he can’t make it, he better not come to me; the company no longer has a place for him!"

Despite Jiang Zhao Yuan’s harsh words, even Jiang Cheng could detect the irony in them.

Grandfather was never going to ignore Jiang Yan.

He even wanted to train him as a successor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng clenched the chopsticks in his hand.

Even his younger brother Jiang Shixu had received shares in the family corporation, while he hadn’t received any respectable assets at all.

Indeed, no one in the Jiang Family seemed willing to acknowledge him.

Jiang Li merely smiled without comment.

Jiang Yan being freed from confinement now indicated that the video she had left behind had worked.

The old man was tough-mouthed but soft-hearted; accepting the situation completely would still take time.

Without further addressing Jiang Zhao Yuan’s sarcastic remarks, Jiang Li turned her head to look at Shen Lan and suddenly asked, "Second Aunt, have you been troubled by something lately?"

She had noticed a cluster of gray energy at Shen Lan’s Yintang when she arrived, which was a sign of a troubled mind.

It probably meant she had encountered some issues recently.

Shen Lan was quite surprised, "How did you know?"

But then she remembered Jiang Li’s fortune-telling skills and wasn’t so surprised anymore, hence she sighed without hiding anything.

"Don’t mention it. It’s about the variety show. Your previous participation in Flash Change became a hit, and both you and Jiang Yan’s popularity surged, so I thought of striking while the iron is hot by preparing a second season to boost Jiang Yan’s fame and status."

However, somehow, the plans they submitted kept getting rejected regardless of how they were altered or resubmitted; they just couldn’t get approved.

This had never happened before.

So recently she had been worried and had even been losing sleep over it for several days.

Jiang Li silently speculated in her mind.

"It must be targeted interference."

Shen Lan met her gaze.

She had guessed correctly.

If it wasn’t due to intentional interference, a perfectly good variety show plan wouldn’t be blocked from approval, especially since Flash Change had even indirectly exposed a poaching syndicate; logically and emotionally, it should not be suppressed.

Unless someone was deliberately sabotaging it.

"Give it up," Jiang Li added, "The fortune of this variety show has peaked. Even if you forcibly push through, the response won’t be significant."

Shen Lan was startled and inevitably felt some disappointment, "Really?"

Jiang Li nodded.

On its original path, this show was destined to be suppressed, and becoming a hit now was just leveraging the current trend; forcing it to continue would not make much of an impact and would only waste effort.

Shen Lan found dinner bland and tasteless.

After all, her company had just completed its second round of financing with "Shining Transformation Trip" and was about to go public. Suddenly being told the show couldn’t be done, she naturally felt disappointed.

But it didn’t take her long to bounce back.

Compared to her own wishes, she trusted Jiang Li’s talent more.

Jiang Li said her variety show would be a hit, and it was.

Jiang Li said her variety show’s luck had run out, and it surely would.

In the evening, after freshening up, Shen Lan visited Jiang Li’s room again.

"If this variety show can’t be done, is there any other viable alternative?"

Jiang Li looked at her, her eyes gleaming with profound meaning.

It must be said, this Second Aunt really knew how to be flexible. She had come to terms with the outcome in just an afternoon.

No wonder she had achieved so much today.

"I actually have an idea, would Second Aunt like to hear it?"

"Go ahead, go ahead," Shen Lan sat down next to her.

"Since you’ve got everything prepared, there are two feasible paths laid out before you now. One is to continue with the project, though the profits might not meet your expectations, and it could deplete the existing audience’s anticipation. The second option, however, is to sell the proposal."

"Sell the proposal?" Shen Lan was even more surprised.

Not surprised by Jiang Li’s suggestion, but that someone so young seemed to understand even this.

"Yes, sell the proposal," Jiang Li nodded. "Although this method is not very noble, since you are a businesswoman, you must prioritize profit above everything else, and leave other considerations aside for now."

Shen Lan was shocked again.

She couldn’t believe that at such a young age, Jiang Li could so accurately grasp a businessperson’s mindset.

"My goodness, Jiang Li," Shen Lan exclaimed, "If it weren’t for knowing you are still preparing for the college entrance exams, I would drag you into the business. You have great potential to become a magnate."

Cold and ruthless, solely for the sake of profit.

Jiang Li just smiled, "It’s just what I’ve observed."

After all, the business world of ancient times wasn’t any gentler than that of today.

Shen Lan seriously considered Jiang Li’s suggestion.

Her words made sense. Even if Shen Lan was sentimental about the variety show, she was, more importantly, a businesswoman. Her company had hundreds of employees depending on her; she couldn’t afford to gamble with her sentiments.

Selling the proposal was indeed a good suggestion. As long as she retained the copyright of the "Shining Transformation Trip" name, she could sell the other plan proposals.

But then...

"Who would buy our program’s proposal?" Shen Lan asked.

Since they were being targeted, other people in the circle would definitely see through this despite the temptation, but those willing to take the risk would likely be few.

Jiang Li smiled mysteriously.

"I know someone who might."

"Who?"

"Shang Shaojing."

Shen Lan was completely dumbfounded. "Lili, are you serious?"

Jiang Li nodded earnestly.

She initially didn’t want to get involved with Shang Shaojing, but he insisted on making his presence felt around her.

She might as well get her revenge.

Since the show was no longer viable, she could dump this mess onto Shang Shaojing.

After all, who made him the omnipotent male lead?

"Second Aunt, you don’t need to worry about this matter, I have a way to make Shang Shaojing take the initiative to buy the plan."
