Do you think Mr. Chen will allow us to change it?

"President Chen, what are your orders?"

Luo Xiao hurriedly answered the call.

"Understood, President Chen. I will bring the script over right away."

After a while, Luo Xiao nodded, hung up the call, and looked up at Wang Bin sitting across from him.

"President Chen is asking for me. He wants me to bring the new script over, probably to discuss matters regarding it."

Luo Xiao spoke slowly, his face showing a hint of anxiety.

Last time, after President Chen finished reading the script, he had reminded him that the plot in the middle of the script had some issues that needed to be changed.

However, so much time had passed, and the script remained exactly the same; he hadn't changed a single thing.

If President Chen saw this, he would surely be very disappointed.

Hearing this, Wang Bin instantly thought of the same thing and offered a few words of soft comfort to Luo Xiao.

"Don't worry, President Chen won't blame you. Besides, a script cannot be changed in an instant; it takes time, especially for a science fiction film. So, let's just change it slowly. As long as the movie we produce is a good one, that's all that matters."

"I know."

Luo Xiao nodded slightly. No matter what, he would put his heart into every film, striving to ensure that every film released from Lanpian Film and Television was a good one, and not let down President Chen's trust.

Thinking this, he grabbed the script and quickly left the office.

President Chen had already called for him; he could not keep President Chen waiting.

…

In the Presidents Office, Chen Mo glanced at the lounge area and then gave up the idea of hosting Luo Xiao there.

He was extremely disappointed in this guy.

He had originally thought that since the other party had made two bad films, he would continue to carry forward the tradition of making bad films.

But he never expected that not only did this guy stop making bad films, he actually produced a remake of "Monster Hunt".

Chen Mo rubbed his head helplessly. He suddenly felt as if this kind of thing hadn't happened for the first time.

Song Xia at Nanhe Coffee was the same.

He had originally valued her experience in running a loss-making milk tea shop, which is why he decided to let her serve as the manager of Nanhe Coffee.

But now, not only had he lost an industry that could consume large amounts of System Funds, but it was also possible to face huge revenues in the future.

Knock, knock, knock!!

The office door was suddenly knocked, and soon Luo Xiao walked in cautiously.

"President Chen!"

Luo Xiao walked carefully to the desk.

"Hmm!"

Chen Mo looked at the incoming Luo Xiao and nodded faintly.

"Did you bring the script?"

"I brought it, President Chen. The script is here."

Luo Xiao hurriedly handed over the script he brought, feeling very anxious inside, wondering if he would disappoint President Chen by not changing the script.

His gaze fell on President Chen, seeing that he had already opened the script and was checking it page by page.

Time passed bit by bit, and occasionally the sound of turning pages could be heard. Luo Xiao held his breath, fearing to disturb President Chen, and felt even more anxious.

"Hmm, this script hasn't been changed? Not bad, not bad!!!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mo slowly closed the script and looked at Luo Xiao with a satisfied expression.

He had thought that this Luo Xiao would change the script he selected without permission; now it seemed he was still quite honest.

However, he couldn't let his guard down; he still had to emphasize a reminder.

As long as he strongly expressed his liking for this script, Luo Xiao would almost understand his meaning.

If I like this script so much, doesn't that show that I value it highly and am very satisfied with it?

In that case, Luo Xiao would not have the idea of wanting to change the script.

"President Chen, this script…"

Hearing President Chen's words, Luo Xiao was a bit surprised. He had thought President Chen would say something disappointing, or ask why he hadn't modified the middle part of the plot.

However, President Chen's words just now were completely beyond his expectations.

No disappointment, no questions, but instead, praise.

This made him a bit surprised.

"Oh, this script is very good. I like it very much, especially the plot in the middle; it's simply too perfect. It's really quite good."

"By the way, now that the script is set, the actors for the film crew should also be decided quickly. I might invest in this film before the end of the month. By early September, you should be able to set off for filming."

Chen Mo looked up at Luo Xiao and said earnestly.

He thought to himself, since he had already spoken to this extent, Luo Xiao should understand his meaning by now, right?

Listening to President Chen's words, Luo Xiao felt even more conflicted.

The last time President Chen read this script, he had said there were some shortcomings in the middle, but now he thought this script was perfect.

Did President Chen want him to change the middle part of the script, or not?

This made him very conflicted; he didn't know whether he should change this script or not.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing Luo Xiao remain silent, Chen Mo frowned slightly.

He had already spoken so clearly; he had practically told him that this script was very good and not to change it.

Could it be that this guy still didn't understand?

"Ah! President Chen, I have understood."

Hearing President Chen's inquiry, Luo Xiao hurriedly replied.

Whether he understood or not, he would agree first. Anyway, it was almost noon, so he would ask Wei Yan for advice later at the cafeteria.

With Wei Yan's understanding of President Chen, he should be able to figure out what President Chen really meant.

"As long as you understand, then go and handle it quickly."

Seeing Luo Xiao's response, Chen Mo smiled slightly. As long as he understood, that was fine.

"Alright, President Chen."

Luo Xiao nodded hurriedly, then quickly got up and left the office.

Watching Luo Xiao leave, Chen Mo took out his phone and checked the time, finding it was almost 12 o'clock, and it was time to eat.

He would wait until after lunch to contact Wang Yang; the renovation matters also needed to be implemented as soon as possible.

Moreover, this time it concerned whether the settlement could be successful, so he needed to personally arrange this renovation to consume as much System Funds as possible.

While he was thinking, Shen Rou had already walked in from her office carrying a food basket.

"President Chen, your lunch."

As Shen Rou spoke, she brought the lunch to a dining table by the window and took out the dishes inside.

Soon, the entire table was filled with plates, with a total of 8 dishes.

Every dish was rich in color, aroma, and taste, making one's appetite soar.

Chen Mo walked to the dining table, looked at today's menu, and felt a little more pleased.

As the president of the Group, he still had certain privileges. Employees ate six dishes a day, but he had eight dishes every day, and Wang Maonian personally cooked them.

Of course, this was not something he personally requested, but Wang Maonian's own decision. Since it was the employee's own decision, the system couldn't say anything.

He pulled out a chair and sat down directly, then reached for a hand towel on the side to wipe his hands. His gaze fell on Shen Rou, who was placing the plates and preparing to leave, and he said faintly,

"There is a lot of food, sit down and eat together."

"Ah!"

Shen Rou was stunned for a moment. She looked at the food on the table, which was indeed a lot, and then looked at President Chen. After hesitating for a moment, she gently pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Thank you, President Chen."

…

Tomorrow Cafeteria,

Luo Xiao looked at Wei Yan sitting across from him with anticipation. After leaving the office and seeing that it was already lunchtime, he came directly to Tomorrow Cafeteria.

Then he found Wei Yan and asked about what had just happened in President Chen's office, as well as the doubts in his heart.

"General Manager Wei, do you think President Chen wants me to change the script, or does he not want me to change the script?"
