“Boss, this is the work plan for the next quarter in Hengdian. Do you think there’s any need for modifications?” At this moment, only Zhou Chao and Shang Xiaoqing remained in the office. The other three senior executives had already returned to their own offices to attend to their tasks.

Taking the document, Zhou Chao began to review it. The plan was detailed, down to every single day. After going through it all, he realized that this plan had been crafted with real care and was aligned with the company’s overall direction.

“Excellent, this plan is well-crafted. Let’s implement it as it is.” Zhou Chao handed the plan back to Shang Xiaoqing.

Shang Xiaoqing’s eyes gleamed with curiosity, “Boss, do you have any further instructions?”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao chuckled softly and wore a faint smile. He looked at Shang Xiaoqing, took his time, and then said, “You’re a smart person, and I don’t need to say much. I’ll mention just one thing: I’m planning to merge Hengdian with Xiangshan Film and Television City, Huahong Film and Television, and the Entertainment Company under the group. Currently, we haven’t finalized the head of the new Film and Television Group.”

With that said, Shang Xiaoqing still wasn’t sure of the Boss’s intentions, but she was surprised to learn that Xiangshan and Huahong were also under his purview. She didn’t know the exact scale of the Group’s Entertainment Company, but the combined potential of these companies was undeniable. If she could move up in this scenario, it would undoubtedly be a significant improvement for her.

“Boss, that position is definitely mine!”

Zhou Chao hadn’t expected Shang Xiaoqing to make such a bold statement, but seeing her determined gaze, he nodded in satisfaction.

He had done what was required to handle the situation effectively. Today’s tasks were considered completed.

Having settled everything that needed to be discussed, Zhou Chao stretched and got up from the sofa. “Alright, everything is done. I’m heading out.” “Boss, how about having dinner together tonight?”

Jiang Li nodded in agreement. After all, it was getting late, and many tourist attractions had already closed for the evening. Even if they could enter through a backdoor, there wasn’t much to see at night.

“Let’s go then.”

Zhou Chao reached out his right hand and helped Jiang Li to her feet. Holding hands, they walked out and happened to encounter the innkeeper sitting at the guesthouse’s entrance, sipping tea.

“You handsome young man, are you two planning to go out? Do you need me to prepare dinner for you tonight?” The innkeeper was still very friendly and greeted them.

Zhou Chao waved his hand, “No need. We’re going out for a stroll, and if we come across something to eat, we’ll have dinner outside.”

The innkeeper nodded and didn’t press further. She watched as the two of them walked hand in hand out of the guesthouse’s gate.

As soon as they stepped outside, they found themselves on Kangzhuang South Street. They chose a direction at random and leisurely strolled along the main road.

“Brother Chao, how did things go this afternoon?” Jiang Li asked with curiosity.

“It went relatively well,” Zhou Chao replied. He couldn’t help but sigh. Initially, he had planned to exert force directly, but unexpectedly, a chicken had willingly walked into his trap. He had used it as an example to deter others. Although the “chicken” was a bit small, the effect was quite satisfactory.

The buildings in Hengdian were generally short, with the tallest ones not exceeding four or five stories. From a slightly elevated point, they could see the pavilion-style buildings of other scenic areas in the distance.

After walking along the road for about half an hour, they both lost interest in continuing. There wasn’t much to see or do, and the town itself was rather dull, except for the attractions surrounding it.

“Brother Chao, how about we go for a foot massage?” Jiang Li suddenly stopped Zhou Chao, pointing to a six or seven-story building in the distance.
