Movie releases

August 15th!

Changbai Jingyuan, 6:00 PM.

"Brother Chen, I've brought you dinner."

Yang Duoduo said, carrying a vegetable basket, her voice sweet and childish.

Chen Mo smiled and took the vegetable basket from Yang Duoduo's hands. Yang Duoduo very skillfully changed into her own special little slippers and ran quickly into the living room.

"Wait a moment, go wash your hands and come eat."

Chen Mo watched Yang Duoduo run into the living room; he didn't need to think to know what the little one wanted to do.

However, Dong Hong basically finished cooking and immediately sent Yang Duoduo over to deliver the meal, so this little one definitely hadn't eaten yet.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Yang Duoduo obediently ran from the living room into the bathroom. After washing her hands, she ran to the dining table and climbed onto her chair.

Chen Mo neatly arranged the food from the basket onto the dining table.

The big one and the small one thus began eating dinner.

"Brother Chen, are you going to watch a movie tonight?"

Yang Duoduo took a bite of rice and looked at Chen Mo with a naive expression.

"Movie? What movie?"

Chen Mo asked subconsciously.

"Mom said it's General Manager Chen's movie. We're going to watch it together tonight. Brother Chen, aren't you planning to go?"

Yang Duoduo bit her chopsticks.

Go watch my movie!

Chen Mo frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

It was understandable that Yang Dahai's family wanted to show support upon seeing his movie being released.

Moreover, there were only three of them, so it had no impact on him. He didn't pay much attention to it.

Soon, dinner was finished. Yang Duoduo quickly ran to the living room, skillfully turned on the television, and started watching cartoons.

Chen Mo simply cleaned up the tableware and also returned to the living room.

About two hours later, Dong Hong came to knock on the door. Yang Duoduo followed her away, reluctant to leave, and the vegetable basket was also taken away by Dong Hong at the same time.

Inside the living room, Chen Mo continued watching TV for a while. Feeling a bit bored, he turned on his computer and played games for a while.

Time passed slowly.

Around 11 o'clock, he exited the game and turned off the computer.

He walked slowly to the window, watching the twinkling lights in the Complex, and suddenly remembered that Yang Dahai's family was going to watch a movie today.

Should I go take a look?

Chen Mo hesitated in his heart; for a bad movie, he did not intend to go see it.

But he was a little curious. After a long while, he finally made a decision: it would be better to go take a look.

He went to the closet, changed his clothes, then went to the underground garage and found his Big G.

Because it was a holiday, and Yang Dahai's family was going to watch the movie, he decided to drive himself.

He used navigation to select a decent cinema and drove straight there.

He had read Luo Xiao's data report and knew that this movie was only showing in the midnight slot.

Wasn't this news undoubtedly good news for him?

The midnight slot was simply perfect. The movie already had no promotion, and with the midnight slot, there would definitely be even fewer people watching.

Perhaps in a few days, the cinema would see that his movie had no revenue and would just take it down directly.

Chen Mo thought joyfully as he drove straight toward the cinema.

At Changfeng Clothing, two shuttle buses were parked neatly at the entrance of the employee dormitory.

"Everyone line up to board the bus. Check if anyone is left behind."

"This bus is full, go take the next one."

"…"

A leader from Changfeng Clothing was continuously directing the employees to board the bus. Soon, all the employees were on the shuttle buses.

The leader quickly ran to Jiang Cheng and reported.

"General Manager Jiang, the employees going to watch the movie have all boarded."

"Mm, we can set off."

Jiang Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

Since confirming that General Manager Chen's first movie was about to be released, he had notified everyone at the Garment factory about the movie release, mobilizing everyone to support the movie or promote it to their family and friends.

Of course, all of this was based on the principle of employee voluntariness; he would not force employees to watch the movie or promote it.

However, what surprised Jiang Cheng was that after he announced this news, almost all the employees expressed their desire to watch the movie and were very enthusiastic. Of course, there were a few individual employees who couldn't watch the movie due to some special circumstances.

But these people also felt very apologetic, one after another saying that after they were done with their business, they would definitely bring their families to support General Manager Chen's movie.

Seeing the Garment factory employees so proactively going to watch the movie, Jiang Cheng was also very surprised. He had originally been wondering what he could say to mobilize the Garment factory employees to actively watch the movie.

But he hadn't expected that before he could even mobilize them, these employees would be this enthusiastic.

However, later he also indirectly understood the psychology of those employees and finally understood what was going on.

The most important point was that since the Garment factory was demolished and rebuilt, plus the clothing produced every day, it had slowly shifted toward pet apparel.

And because the Pet Park hadn't opened yet, there was currently no plan to take these pet apparel items out for sale, so those pet apparel items were currently in a state of being backlogged in the warehouse.

It was fine at first, but as time went on, those Garment factory employees also realized something.

That was, the Garment factory currently wasn't making money. After all, the produced pet apparel was all backlogged in the warehouse, which meant the pet apparel hadn't sold. If it hadn't sold, didn't that indicate the Garment factory wasn't making money?

If the Garment factory wasn't making money, it directly affected many employees with worry. They worried that one day the Garment factory would close down because it wasn't making money, and where would they find such a good job then?

So when they heard that General Manager Chen's movie was being released and needed everyone's support, these people didn't even think and directly expressed their support.

No matter what, Lanpian Film and Television was also General Manager Chen's company. As long as Lanpian Film and Television made a profit, that meant General Manager Chen had made money. And if General Manager Chen made money, then even if the Garment factory kept losing money, it would probably hold out for a while longer.

With this mindset, these employees at the Garment factory didn't overthink it at all and directly chose to support General Manager Chen's movie.

Some employees had even indicated that after watching the movie, they would take their families to support it as well.

This was probably General Manager Chen's charm. General Manager Chen currently hadn't shown any signs of anxiety about the Garment factory losing money; he had always been calm and had never shown any dissatisfaction about the Garment factory consistently losing money.

But these employees were the first ones who couldn't sit still, seemingly very afraid that this Garment factory would close down due to losses.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The benefits currently provided by the Garment factory were simply not something other factories could offer. If one day the Garment factory closed down, all the employees of the Garment factory, including him, would probably be knocked back to their original state.

So it was very understandable that these employees were worried the Garment factory would close down.

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly. After waiting for the two shuttle buses to slowly start, he got into his own vehicle and followed behind the shuttle buses.

And this scene at this moment was also being played out in other places in Jiang City.
