Now, back to Qin Miaomiao. The successful reporter conference drew significant attention.
Lu Qing had entrusted all the film-related projects to her, even including the signing of new entertainers under the company.
Although the Long Ting Group hadn’t delved deeply into the entertainment industry before, this time, it was purely a personal excuse from Lu Qing to invest in a project for his wife.
That said, they did have several A-list artists under their banner, all of whom would now be managed by Qin Miaomiao going forward.
Qin Miaomiao quickly drafted a plan and presented it to Lu Qing for review.
He read it carefully and then commented:
"You want to focus on both the talent agency and the film production company simultaneously? And begin developing IP projects?"
"Yes, nowadays IPs are dominating the market. Leveraging the existing fan base of IPs for film development is the current trend. In terms of movies, I know of a few IPs that could be prioritized for development into films, which would likely yield high returns. However, the production cycles are relatively long. On the other hand, web dramas have faster returns and face fewer restrictions when it comes to approvals."
Lu Qing looked at her with interest:
"It seems you’re quite well-versed in the realm of film and television?"
"The Qin Miaomiao I used to know had never touched the film industry, graduated college without even obtaining her degree, was vain, had poor taste, and loved to compare herself to others. She was always focused on her own family, diverting a significant portion of her personal assets to them. With such questionable intelligence, tell me, why is it that you’ve undergone such a drastic transformation now?"
Every word he said seemed intent on stripping away her facade, seeing straight through her!
Her heart wavered for a moment, but she steadied herself and replied, word by word:
Lu Qing tilted the corners of his lips, reached out to gently pinch her chin, and said in a calm voice:
"Very well. I look forward to your transformation."
The two walked out of the elevator together, only to be greeted by a woman walking toward them—it was Qin Sishui.
The moment she saw Lu Qing, her eyes instantly locked onto him!
So this was Lu Qing? She had seen his photos before, but seeing him in person—what an overwhelming impact it had!
He was so handsome. That commanding presence, something no ordinary man could match, those sharp, well-defined features, and the regal demeanor in every gesture could easily captivate any woman.
Her heart raced wildly, and she almost forgot why she had come in the first place.
Qin Miaomiao watched her with keen interest. So, after she’d been attacked by those people, Qin Sishui had run off with Qin Lin to make donations. And now, here she was, suddenly showing up?
"Sister, I’m begging you, please spare my father, will you?"
She finally spoke, pitifully, as if Qin Miaomiao had done something utterly unforgivable to her.
Qin Miaomiao smiled lightly and said in a calm voice, "Oh? What have I done to your father?"
"My dad was taken away by people from the prosecutor’s office. Sister, you need to save him. After all, he’s your uncle."
"Is that so? And on what charges did the prosecutor’s office take him in?"
Qin Sishui wasn’t foolish. How could she admit it was because her father had embezzled funds?
Her eyes instantly reddened as though she’d suffered some grave injustice. She looked at Qin Miaomiao with fear, deliberately directing her words toward Lu Qing.
"Sister, you know you’ve always held a grudge against my dad, thinking he wouldn’t let go of control. But look at the company now—he never wanted things to turn out this way. Please don’t listen to the wrong people and misunderstand my dad. He’s always worked diligently for the good of the company."
"You can share all of that with the people at the prosecutor’s office. I’m sure they’d be willing to listen. Now, kindly step aside. I need to get going."
She reached out to push past her, but Qin Sishui reacted as though she had been struck by a heavy blow, stumbling to the side with her body hitting the ground. A clear snapping sound could even be heard.
