Mr. Chen knows our situation.

Xu Zhengming listened to Pang Tao's words thoughtfully, but soon his eyes lit up.

"I think I know what CEO Chen's intention is."

"What is CEO Chen's intention?"

Pang Tao looked at Xu Zhengming in confusion.

Xu Zhengming smiled slightly at his words.

"This question is simple. CEO Chen should know about our plan to build employee dormitories. Building an employee dormitory requires a large amount of capital. CEO Chen should be worried about our tight funds, so he bought East City Apartments to serve as an employee dormitory. This way, we save a sum of money, and this extra money can be used elsewhere, can't it?"

"Is that so!"

Pang Tao suddenly understood and then felt it made a lot of sense.

Ever since the last plan to build a large parking lot, an office building, employee dormitories, and other things, they had briefly calculated the required funds and found that the funds were indeed a bit tight.

They had been discussing for the past two days whether to talk to CEO Chen to see if he could invest more funds.

However, they were also worried that if they approached CEO Chen about funding now, he might think they were incompetent, so they had been hesitating.

But they didn't expect that while they were hesitating, CEO Chen directly bought an apartment building to serve as an employee dormitory for Corner Pet Park.

This way, they saved the money for building employee dormitories, instantly resolving the issue of tight funds.

Thinking of this,

Pang Tao couldn't help but show a look of admiration in his eyes, looking at Xu Zhengming opposite him with some emotion.

"I think CEO Chen must have known about our situation and that our funds were tight, which is why he bought that apartment building as an employee dormitory, all to alleviate our financial strain."

"Yes!"

Xu Zhengming nodded in agreement, a hint of shame on his face.

"The matters of our Pet Park have probably long been seen by CEO Chen, yet we are still here hesitating whether to approach CEO Chen. Thinking about it, it's truly petty."

"That's right, CEO Chen probably knows everything we've been doing at Pet Park."

Pang Tao sighed along.

The two looked at each other, then showed a wry smile.

"Since that's the case, we'll remove the employee dormitory from our plan and invest the funds into other plans."

"Mm."

………………..

Tomorrow Group,

President's Office,

Chen Mo looked at last night's box office report and slumped weakly in his chair.

34 million!

The growth rate of the box office showed no signs of slowing down at all.

After a long while,

He gradually came back to his senses, opened the chat software, and saw that Wang Yang had already sent over the renovation budget and design drawings.

That fast?

Chen Mo was surprised, but he quickly understood. Although East City Apartments had over three hundred Rooms, there were only four different types of Rooms, so only four Room designs were needed.

Then, with the overall budget, the time required wouldn't be too long at all.

However, speed was exactly what he needed. As soon as the renovation budget was out, he could use it to spend the system funds.

Thinking this,

He had already opened the design drawings, took a quick look, confirmed there were no issues, and then closed them.

Of course, this wasn't what he cared about most. What he cared about most was naturally this renovation budget.

After all, it concerned whether he could fully settle the system funds this time.

Opening the renovation budget folder, he skipped directly past the detailed expenditures and focused on the total budget at the very bottom.

115 million!

Seeing this price, Chen Mo nodded slightly. This budget was similar to what he had expected, and Wang Yang hadn't saved him money.

Over 100 million, plus the price of buying East City Apartments and some other expenses, the total expenditure had already exceeded 200 million.

And the investment for the new movie hadn't been finalized yet. A sci-fi movie, an investment of several hundred million wouldn't be too much, after all, it's a big production.

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, a faint smile on his lips.

He had already made up his mind to first pay all the current system funds towards the expenses of East City Apartments, and then invest the remaining system funds entirely into the new movie.

However, he had just tested it, and this movie investment was not without limits; the maximum investment could not exceed 800 million.

300 million, plus the 200 million expense for East City Apartments, totals 1 billion in expenses.

And it was already the eighth day, with the total box office only over 90 million.

There were still seven days until settlement.

For the box office to increase by over 400 million in seven days, it would be very difficult at the current growth rate.

After confirming this,

Chen Mo finally relaxed. It seemed the chance of a full settlement was still very high.

……………..

Four days later,

Jiangcheng,

Inside a Nanhe Cafe,

"Director Li, I'm sorry! I've been quite busy these past few days."

Linda looked at Li Tianyang sitting opposite her and said apologetically.

"No worries, but my matter today is a bit urgent, so I still hope Linda can help."

Li Tianyang waved his hand indifferently.

"Director Li, please say. If I can help, I definitely will."

Linda nodded slightly.

Because she had been busy these past two days, she hadn't had time to accept Director Li's invitation, and she felt a bit guilty.

After all, Director Li had helped her a lot before.

"It's like this: a director friend of mine took a liking to an actor from "journey of subduing demons." After some research, he found that "journey of subduing demons" was produced by Lanpian Film and Television, which is a subsidiary of Tomorrow Group."

"We don't know much about Tomorrow Group, but isn't Chen Mo, whom you brought to shoot for Men's Wear, the president of Tomorrow Group? If you can contact him, you could help us make a connection."

Li Tianyang explained the situation in detail.

These past few days, because he hadn't been able to contact Linda, Yu Zheng was already very anxious.

After all, filming was scheduled to start at the end of the month. If the actor issue wasn't resolved soon, it could very likely delay the filming progress. Moreover, Yu Zheng was also asking people to try and contact someone from Lanpian Film and Television, but Lanpian Film and Television was a newly established film and television company, making it difficult to find connections to reach their people.

"Is that so!"

Linda nodded at his words, a hint of uncertainty on her face.

"To be honest, I don't have much interaction with the president of Tomorrow Group, but I am more familiar with his assistant. I can help you contact him, but whether I can help you make a connection, I'm not sure."

At that time, when CEO Chen ordered suits, she mostly dealt with CEO Chen's assistant.

So, in terms of familiarity, she was more familiar with the assistant.
