Chapter 541 Enough interest collected, time for hard labor.
Caught off guard by Ye Fan's direct affirmation of her professional abilities, Miao Zi's eyes flashed with an undisguised smugness, and her swan-like neck arched slightly in a proud gesture.
"Of course!"
Her voice unconsciously carried a hint of arrogance:
"Do you think I was just sitting around doing nothing during those years I spent working my way up in the banking industry? I was dealing with entrepreneurs and controlling shareholders of listed companies with assets of hundreds of millions or even billions every day. What I was supposed to learn and what I was supposed to learn is now ingrained in my bones."
Her fingertips unconsciously traced circles on Ye Fan's firm chest:
"I have a clear understanding of which companies thrive because of their standardized management and clear responsibilities, and which collapse due to constant internal strife and rampant cronyism. "
The business acumen and management wisdom she honed in the core circles of the financial system are indeed her core competitive advantages that far surpass those of ordinary working women.
Ye Fan stared at her—that stunningly beautiful face that blended intellect, competence, and the unconscious coquettishness of a young woman. The possessiveness and destructive urge that had just been suppressed by reason burned even brighter and more intensely in his heart, like a fire doused with oil!
This kind of sophisticated and capable woman, who is both powerful and independent in the workplace, yet exudes a blend of innocence and allure in his arms, is simply the ultimate challenge and enjoyment bestowed upon men by heaven!
Which man could resist that?
Since we've agreed that we can't "get things done" right now... surely charging some "interest" isn't too much to ask?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's signature, dangerously wicked smile curled up again.
His large hand, resting on her beautiful black-stockinged legs, with its fingertips burning hot, began to slowly and steadily explore upwards along her graceful curves.
The intention was to cross that final line of defense—the business suit—that symbolized "business as usual"...
Miao Zi suddenly increased the pressure on his wrist, her fingertips turning slightly white. Her beautiful eyes instantly filled with panic and a silent warning. The rational atmosphere that had just been established in the office was once again quietly eroded by the escalating ambiguity.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the skyline of Nanjing is gilded by the setting sun, while the "war" inside has only just begun.
......
Nearly an hour later.
The sound of running water, which had been lingering for a long time, came from the inner bathroom of the president's office, masking the lingering, suggestive atmosphere.
After a while.
Miao Zi walked out with slightly unsteady steps and a hint of lazy fatigue.
She glared at the culprit with annoyance, her once clear voice now tinged with a noticeable hoarseness and a hint of barely perceptible coquettishness:
"You're using the logic of a robber! We clearly agreed to do it when we got home... and now look what happened?"
She glanced down at her Balenciaga shoes, which had been roughly handled and were now worthless, and spat out her accusation through gritted teeth: "Another pair ruined! Do you know how hard it is to buy these limited editions?!"
She muttered a complaint under her breath as she hurriedly straightened the hem of her crumpled and slightly disheveled black suit, her fingertips deftly adjusting the subtle wrinkles at the neckline.
Immediately, she deftly gathered the few strands of damp hair that had fallen across her cheeks back into a bun and secured them with a simple pearl hairpin, striving to recreate the image of a calm, composed, and meticulous elite secretary.
Seeing Ye Fan lounging casually in the large boss's chair, a smug and irritating smile on his lips, watching her with a leisurely air, Miao Zi could only sigh helplessly and shake her head resignedly.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the lingering throbbing deep within her body, and walked with her still elegant but seemingly heavier steps to the built-in filing cabinet next to her.
With precise movements, she took out a folder from the cabinet that was half a foot thick and had a uniform blue-black cover. The heavy weight made her slender arms tense slightly.
She steadily placed the "small mountain" of items onto the expensive mahogany desk in front of Ye Fan with a thud.
Miao Zi's voice returned to its usual clarity and competence, deliberately ignoring her slightly flushed ears:
"These are in-depth feasibility reports for several key departments, including the Film and Television Investment Department Manager Gu Yuejia, the Artist Management Department, and the Content Production Department, submitted urgently, along with draft budget applications and approvals for the second half of the year. They're urgent and require your personal review and approval."
"So many?!" Ye Fan looked at the mountain of documents that almost blocked his view. Even though he was mentally prepared, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Miao Zi walked to the tea bar and gracefully and smoothly replaced Ye Fan's cup of Longjing tea with one that was at the perfect temperature, the aroma of the tea spreading in the air.
She explained softly, "This is the result of my first round of screening. It not only includes a detailed feasibility assessment of the project itself, but also extremely detailed market research data, user profile analysis, competitor benchmarking report, and a preliminary ROI (Return on Investment) prediction model."
"I know you've been focusing all your energy on Jiangning Pharmaceutical lately, so I've kept all these important but time-sensitive documents in my hands and haven't dared to bother you."
At this point, Miao Zi winked mischievously at her beautiful eyes, which were still slightly moist, her red lips curving into a slight smile, her tone full of teasing:
"However, fortunes change. Since Boss Ye has come on his own initiative today, we should make the most of him and have him serve as a qualified 'signing drudge.' Otherwise, I'll have to go through all over Nanjing in a couple of days, like a debt collector, making a series of frantic calls and begging you to come and approve the documents."
Ye Fan chuckled at her "little fox" demeanor and casually flipped to the top of the book, which was about an investment intention document for a so-called S+ level ancient costume fantasy drama. Beneath the thick, glossy cover were densely packed text and data charts.
He had mentally prepared himself to grit his teeth and read through the long, obscure report, but after reading just two pages of the key parts, his eyes suddenly narrowed, filled with obvious surprise and admiration, and he looked up at Miao Zi, who was standing by the desk, sipping her tea.
The report, which is dozens of pages long and contains a lot of complex information, includes all the core financial data, such as production cost breakdown, expected revenue, and cash flow forecasts.
Potential major risks include: policy risks, risk of lead actor's collapse, and risk of overspending in the later stages.
She even clearly and accurately marked out any blind spots or weaknesses in the publicity strategy using different colored highlighters!
Moreover, the blank spaces, headers, footers, and even the gaps between charts in the document are densely covered with her annotations, sharp questions, risk avoidance suggestions, and optimization plans written in her neat and elegant calligraphy!
His level of expertise, insightful perspective, and pragmatic advice are comparable to those of a top-notch producer who has been immersed in the film and television investment field for more than ten years!
