My capital is quite large.

Chapter 297 Li Feng's Confidence

One day later.

Inside the director's office of Haofeng Film & Television headquarters building.

Old Han was sitting in a large leather chair, intently organizing several key dramas that the film and television department planned to invest in for the second quarter.

With the boss's announcement yesterday that the second quarter budget would be restored, he felt more confident than ever before, and his pen scribbled across several project proposals.

The first one, naturally, is the period drama "White Deer Plain," which Secretary Zhang has just personally assigned and appointed newcomer Meng Ziyi to play the lead role of Tian Xiao'e.

This project was a major focus for the company, and now with the secretary's help, getting the green light is a sure thing.

The second one is "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

Looking at the project outline in his hand, Lao Han added it to the list of co-investors without any hesitation.

These kinds of mainstream themes are national-level cultural support projects. Now that Haofeng is based in Nanjing, he absolutely cannot miss this kind of project that is sure to make money and show loyalty to his superiors.

The third one is "The Advisors Alliance".

This drama is well-produced and boasts a strong cast. It has been recognized as a potential blockbuster in multiple rounds of evaluation within the industry, and it seems to pose no policy or public opinion risks. Lao Han readily approved it.

However, when his gaze fell on the last copy of the script, which was simply bound yet incredibly thick, his brows furrowed.

This script is the very one that screenwriter Zhou Meisen struggled with for a long time, trying to secure investment everywhere but encountering setbacks everywhere – "In the Name of the People"!

Old Han was caught in a dilemma.

He had read the script himself, and it was written in a way that was thrilling and incisive about current affairs. It was definitely a top-notch masterpiece that could spark a nationwide tsunami of discussion!

The problem is, this subject matter is... far too sensitive!

This is a large-scale anti-corruption drama! It contains many descriptions of power struggles among officials, the covert infighting among local factions, the newly appointed regional governors, and the deeply entrenched local bullies…

The more Lao Han watched, the more he felt that some of the character settings in the drama were almost blatantly reflecting the local ecology of Nanjing where they were living now!

"If this gets filmed and happens to anger certain figures in the province... then Haofeng will be in for a lot of trouble in Nanjing!"

Old Han was a little unsure.

This is a hot potato; as a mere employee and director of the film and television department, he absolutely dares not make a decision on his own.

After much deliberation, he dialed the phone number of Zhang Yuxi, the president's chief secretary.

"Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you. I have a key investment proposal for the second quarter, but the subject matter is a bit too sensitive, and I'm really unsure what to do... Could you please help me schedule a time with Mr. Li? I'd like to report this to the boss in person."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yuxi's voice remained as aloof and businesslike as ever.

"President Li will be coming to the company at 3 PM today. Director Han, I'll put you first in the schedule. Please come to the president's office early and wait for him."

"Oh! Thank you so much, Secretary Zhang! Thank you so much, Secretary Zhang, for your understanding!" Old Han was overjoyed and hung up the phone with profuse thanks.

……

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom of Jinling Zijinshan Manor.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, but Li Feng was still fast asleep.

"Click".

The door was gently pushed open, and Secretary Zhang Yuxi tiptoed in.

Seeing Zhong and Meng sprawled out on the large bed, Secretary Zhang, unfazed, leaned down and gently shook Li Feng's shoulder.

"Boss... Boss, wake up!"

Li Feng stirred, opened his eyes wearily, and his gaze still held a hint of bewilderment from just waking up.

"What's wrong?" Li Feng asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Zhang Yuxi reported in a low voice: "Director Han just called and said there's a problem with a proposal about second-quarter investments. He's unsure what to do and wants to come to the company this afternoon to report to you in person."

Li Feng was still in a daze and didn't say anything, just letting her serve him.

Zhang Yuxi ignored the little flowers still fast asleep in the corner of the bed and carefully helped Li Feng wipe his body.

Looking at those marks, a hint of dissatisfaction with the newcomer flashed in the secretary's beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"These new girls really don't know any manners at all."

Zhang Yuxi scoffed inwardly, "They're all so willing to go to any lengths to win favor, but afterwards they don't even bother to clean up. They got snow on their faces and didn't even bother to clean it properly. What's the point of having mouths if they don't even have one?"

Of course, she would never show her jealousy on her face, and would still present her gentlest side to Li Feng.

Just then, Li Feng's eyes regained their clarity.

Out of the blue, he asked, "What kind of book?"

Based on his understanding of Lao Han, that old fox had been in the film and television industry for so many years that he could suppress most sensitive scripts on his own using the company's legal and public relations departments.

The fact that they actually wanted to meet with him in person shows just how deep the water is behind this document.

Zhang Yuxi continued what she was doing, and answered softly with her head down:

"The film and television department submitted a report yesterday, titled 'In the Name of the People'."

……

3:30 PM, Haofeng Group Headquarters Building, President's Office.

Old Han sat nervously on the sofa and handed the document in his hand to Li Feng.

Li Feng glanced at the script outline and, upon seeing the names "Gao Yuliang" and "Qi Tongwei," which later became incredibly popular online and even spawned countless cultural phenomena, he signed the script without hesitation.

"You can vote."

Li Feng pushed the script back, his expression calm. "There's no need to worry so much. Let them film with peace of mind."

Old Han was stunned for a moment, not expecting the big boss to agree so readily!

He gritted his teeth, but couldn't help but subtly remind him:

"Mr. Li... this script is good, but from what we understand, some of the characters' prototypes and allusions are too strong, especially those from our local Nanjing area..."

"Old Han," Li Feng interrupted him.

"We at Haofeng aren't some small workshop. Unless Beijing forbids us from broadcasting, the province won't put any pressure on us!"

Li Feng's meaning couldn't be clearer.

To deal with Haofeng, most people aren't at a high enough level.

Those who are of a high enough level are definitely not located in the province.

Even among those few, at this juncture, who would want to provoke him, this patriotic science and technology pacesetter, for no reason?

"Yes! Mr. Li has great foresight. I was too narrow-minded!" Old Han was stunned by his boss's domineering aura. He nodded repeatedly, picked up the script, and prepared to go back and carry it out.

Just as Lao Han was about to open the office door, Li Feng's voice came from behind.

"That TV series, 'The Advisors Alliance'..."

"Don't vote anymore."

Old Han's body trembled.

Although he didn't know how this historical drama, which had been deemed risk-free in the evaluation, had offended Li Feng, in Hao Feng's eyes, the boss's words were destiny.

"Yes, Mr. Li! I will immediately notify the project team to withdraw the investment!" Old Han hurriedly agreed and backed away to close the office door.
