Ou Yunchen looked at Liu Jinhua, and Liu Jinhua looked back at Ou Yunchen. They were silent for a long time.
Ou Yunchen: "No."
Liu Jinhua: "Boss, think about it, Yan Shizong will definitely want prime time. We can't fall out again just to grab the slot."
Ou Yunchen: "We didn't grab it; Yan Shizong requested it later. I won't allow it!"
Liu Jinhua: "Yan Shizong's side is a big production, and we're just a small-scale comedy."
Ou Yunchen: "You think a comedy can't compete with a commercial film?"
Liu Jinhua: "But their film is adapted from a novel by a very, very famous author, a romance film."
Ou Yunchen: "I don't think much of it."
Liu Jinhua: "We can't be blindly confident..."
Ou Yunchen: "Get out!"
Under Ou Yunchen's reprimand, Liu Jinhua reluctantly left Ou Yunchen's office.
What was discussed earlier was more than just the release of a film; in Ou Yunchen's eyes, this was the fuse for the upcoming war!
Whether the film would be well-received in the market wasn't Ou Yunchen's concern. He wanted to convey to Yan Shizong that he was ready and could welcome war at any moment!
Ou Yunchen opened his computer, and an avatar that hadn't appeared in a long time flickered to life.
—Ou Yunchen chatting—
Zhou Man: "Boss, happy birthday."
Ou Yunchen: "Thanks, superstar."
Zhou Man: "Haha, I'm not a superstar anymore."
Ou Yunchen: "Mm, are you doing well over there?"
Zhou Man: "Pretty well. A few days ago, some fans saw me walking my dog and asked for autographs and photos."
Ou Yunchen: "Don't you miss the glory days back home?"
Zhou Man: "I don't. I have no plans to return. I want to live quietly here in my old age."
Ou Yunchen: "I envy you."
Zhou Man: "You can too. When you're tired, come visit me here. I'll cover your food and accommodation."
Ou Yunchen: "Okay."
Ou Yunchen browsed through the emails from AtL and directly took a screenshot to send to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man: "You don't need to send them to me every month; I don't read them anyway."
Ou Yunchen: "You are my client. Sending you your monthly earnings is my job."
Zhou Man: "Hahaha, am I your only client that you personally handle and operate?"
Ou Yunchen: "I suppose so."
Zhou Man: "You've worked hard."
Ou Yunchen: "Client satisfaction is AtL's unwavering tenet."
—Ou Yunchen chat ended—
And so, Ou Yunchen received birthday wishes from many people. But only Ou Yunchen knew that it wasn't his birthday.
However, in gratitude, he would thank every friend who sent him blessings and return any overly valuable gifts.
Ruby knocked on the door. Ou Yunchen saw she was also holding a beautifully wrapped small box.
Ruby: "Happy birthday, Boss."
Ou Yunchen: "Thank you."
Ruby: "This is a gift from the entire secretary department for you."
Ou Yunchen: "What is it?"
Ruby was mysterious, saying Ou Yunchen had to open it himself.
After unwrapping, a small velvet box was revealed, engraved with a brand logo—a collaboration between a very famous trendy brand and a jewelry brand.
Ou Yunchen: "Really... cute cufflinks."
Pink cufflinks?! And in the shape of a little bear.
Ruby: "We hope that when you see the bear cufflinks in the future, you'll feel happier and smile!"
Ou Yunchen picked up the cufflinks and smiled at Ruby.
Ou Yunchen: "Thank you, I like them very much."
"Ding!" Ou Yunchen's email notification sounded.
Since AtL launched its private equity fund project, it had essentially opened a treasure trove for the wealthy.
But even with numerous target clients, strict vetting was required, meaning only a select few could purchase into the private equity fund.
Ou Yunchen opened the email; it was a complaint from a former client who had purchased into the private equity fund.
The client's complaint, throughout the email, was that the purchase of private equity funds was unreasonable.
For instance, clients who met the qualifications for purchase were only selected in small numbers.
Why was someone like her, who had purchased before, not selected this time?
It was evident that AtL, having established its reputation in the industry, had become a shining star in the investment world, and many investors sought to get a piece of the action.
However, who was selected was not purely random; there was a strict selection mechanism behind the scenes.
This client had noticed potential irregularities and even suspected behind-the-scenes manipulation.
But this was the charm of private equity funds; if anyone could purchase them like public funds, they couldn't escape scrutiny!
Ou Yunchen immediately forwarded the email to Lawyer Ma.
A simple question mark represented Ou Yunchen's approach to handling the matter. Don't underestimate that single question mark!
At AtL, if a subordinate received an email with a question mark from the founder, it meant that person was in trouble.
Even more so if it was a complaint email from a client!
Therefore, Ou Yunchen's question mark emails were AtL's top emergencies. The recipient had to take it very seriously and resolve the issue swiftly!
Client satisfaction was not just lip service; it had to be demonstrated through action!
