89: Hands-off manager
Bai Feifei really couldn't believe that Han Wen would support her in making a movie, because not only would she have to go to another city, but she would be gone for several months at a time.
Although I could drive or fly back during filming, it's still not as convenient as staying in Jinghua City.
Moreover, driving is too troublesome, and flying is too expensive.
Leaving aside the cost of gas and tolls for the round trip, the money she earns from filming is simply not enough to cover the cost of her plane ticket, making it almost impossible for her to return midway.
So, that evening, after hesitating for a long time, she finally voiced her doubts and questions.
"You really want to know?" Han Wen asked with a smile.
Bai Feifei nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Han Wen thought for a moment before saying, "First of all: I know you really like acting and want to be an actor."
Otherwise, you wouldn't have started your journey to Beijing at such a young age, coming to the capital to look for opportunities.
Secondly: I know you are under a lot of psychological pressure right now and need to go out and release it.
A change of environment, a change of job, a change of mood might actually be good for your health.
Again: My mom invested in this show, and I don't want all that money to go to waste.
If you go to act, you can stay on set and keep an eye on those people for Mom.
Knowing your identity, others will naturally not dare to openly falsify accounts to deceive us, which is actually a win-win situation.
Perhaps I'm judging others by my own petty standards, but I don't care. I'd rather be a petty person first and a gentleman later, even if it offends someone.
To be honest, I don't really like the people in Lotus City, nor do I trust the film and television production companies in Bauhinia City.
Because in their eyes, we are just a bunch of ignorant, impoverished country bumpkins, inferior beings.
They always act arrogant and condescending.
Therefore, if you encounter this situation and cooperate with them in the future, you must be extra careful.
Finally: It seems like Mom is going through menopause. Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult to resolve.
Mom's emotions are very unstable right now. It's not good for anyone to have you all stay together every day.
So it's good for you to go away and hide for a while. You can come back whenever you get pregnant.
When the time comes, you can use the baby in your belly to coerce your mother-in-law, and she will definitely comply obediently.
Even if you can't cure her menopause, she won't dare to lose her temper or give you the cold shoulder.
But once you give birth to your child, you will gain complete freedom and can fly freely.
"At that time, Mom will focus all her attention on her grandson and naturally won't bother you anymore."
"You're talking nonsense. Mom is so young, how could she be going through menopause?" Bai Feifei shook her head, not believing it at all.
"Mom just looks young, but she's actually over fifty this year." Han Wen sighed, somewhat sadly: "Feifei, Mom isn't young anymore."
That's why she's so eager to have a grandson. Please don't blame Mom, try to understand her, okay?
"Okay." Bai Feifei nodded.
"Thank you," Han Wen smiled, feeling grateful.
"Hanwen, I should be thanking you." She shook her head, feeling exceptionally happy: "Hanwen, I'm going to film a movie, what will happen to the company?"
"There are so many people to support, the daily expenses are considerable."
"It's alright, I'll keep an eye on them for you. We're not short of money, we can afford to support them." Han Wen said nonchalantly, "You can also bring some people with you."
That way, I'll feel at ease knowing you're alone out there with someone to take care of you.
When I have some free time, I'll see if I can find any suitable new talent, sign a few and train them. When you finish filming and come back, you can continue being a boss.
"Are you planning to sign up some pretty girls while I'm away?" Bai Feifei asked, knowing full well what was going on.
"Feifei, you know best what kind of person your husband is."
"Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I certainly won't miss it." Han Wen nodded with a smile: "Don't you think about it? The reason this company is called 'Good Cabbage' is naturally because it's used for growing vegetables."
From now on, the company will only sign young and beautiful girls. Each one is so fresh and fair-skinned, like little cabbages—not only pleasing to the eye, but also refreshing! How wonderful!
"You, you, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Bai Feifei was furious. "I know you're lecherous, but can't you be a little less direct?"
"You're going to be furious? No, I'll just make you feel so good you'll die." Han Wen shamelessly replied.
It's normal for people to die of anger, but it's not so easy to make someone die of pleasure.
Han Wen hoped to make Bai Feifei ecstatic every night, but he still didn't achieve his goal even after she brought people to the film set.
After Bai Feifei went to film a movie, the house naturally became a bit quieter. Han Wen didn't mind, but Han Qingyan always felt a little uneasy.
When her daughter-in-law was home, she couldn't find anything to be happy about. But when her daughter-in-law wasn't home, she started missing her.
However, Han Qingyan naturally wouldn't tell Han Wen her thoughts, but she would deliberately pick a fight. After all, he was her son, so she could get angry however she wanted.
"Wenwen, aren't you worried about staying at home all day? Don't you care at all? Don't you miss Feifei?" Han Qingyan finally snapped at Han Wen after she could no longer bear it.
"Mom, I'm not in a hurry. I have so many companies and so many things to do that I can't possibly be in a hurry." Han Wen shook his head: "I'm the one who sent Feifei out. It's no use caring about her or thinking about her."
I'm taking care of her at home, but she doesn't know. If I go to visit her on set, she'll be all alone at home, and I'll feel bad about it.
After all, between my wife and my mother, I'll always be on your side.
"You're getting nicer and nicer to talk to these days, but the more I listen, the angrier I get." Han Qingyan was just looking for trouble and being unreasonable: "You're busy? You stay at home all day, what are you busy with?"
I get the feeling that you're just a hands-off manager, not caring about or involved in anything all day long.
Han Qingyan was absolutely right; Han Wen was indeed a hands-off manager. Moreover, he completely washed his hands of the business.
Lu Xiangdong, the boss of Kingsoft Technology, is his apprentice. He has always been very respectful and devoted to him, so he trusts him completely.
Zhou Yu, the boss of Yinshan Guard, is Zhou Ning's older brother, which is equivalent to his brother-in-law. He is a good person and very capable, so Zhou Ning doesn't need to worry about him.
Zhang Yadong, the music director of Jubaopen Records, didn't have a particularly close relationship with Han Wen, but he had shown Han Wen great kindness by helping him when he was in dire need. Han Wen was loyal to him and deeply grateful.
The chairman of Yaoqianshu Film and Television is his own mother, so there's even less to worry about.
The book "Beijingers in New York" earned him millions of dollars, which, although far less than what Han Wen made from trading stock certificates in Shanghai, still astonished him.
Leading angel investors have been struggling to find good investment projects, and Han Wen is still waiting for an opportunity.
Good Cabbage Culture Brokerage hasn't even gotten on track yet, and the boss has already gone off to film a movie in another city. If it weren't for earning some rent, temporarily closing down wouldn't be a problem.
So Han Wen had no choice; he couldn't avoid being a hands-off manager. Besides, he'd already been reborn, how could he possibly go back to being a beast of burden?
It's not like he's short of money; if he wanted to make money, he could just try his luck in the stock market. He's so young, yet he's lost his drive to strive; he actually seems quite pathetic.
