Chapter 908 925: Attending the Meeting with the Beautiful CEO
However, Lin Mu was quite amused by the thoughts these young ladies had. At least he didn't have to worry about women's issues all day long. Women might be great, deeply loved by every man, but too many are hard to care for, and their mind games can be a headache. Since these beautiful women aren't bothered by these matters, it makes things easier. He can just enjoy life comfortably!"Hey, superstar, how's the filming of 'Palace Locks Liancheng' going lately?" Lin Mu didn't want to discuss this anymore, so he changed the topic.
"It's alright; we've entered the later stages of filming. By the way, Brother Lin, how's the construction going over at the film studio? Can it be finished by the time the TV series ends? Director Yu Zheng said it's perfect timing to release the film after the series concludes!" Sister Xun said.
Lin Mu nodded. Nanny Yu was indeed right. Capitalizing on the audience's lingering interest, releasing the film version would surely be profitable, and Lin Mu had already called Su Jinzhi. Her construction team was working hard!
Su Jinzhi organized two construction teams to ensure they finish by the time "'Palace Locks Liancheng' airs its last episode, ready for the movie release. These two teams are working day and night in shifts, which means the film studio is under continuous construction.
Moreover, Su Jinzhi has offered the construction teams a generous reward: if they complete it within the deadline, each person gets ten thousand yuan as a bonus, with a thousand extra for each day finished ahead of schedule.
The generous reward fired up the two construction teams. Day and night, they worked like they were on adrenaline, so the main part of the studio was completed ahead of schedule last week. It's now in the renovation stage.
If all goes smoothly, the theater will be finished before the TV series ends, perfectly aligned with the film release schedule.
"The studio has entered the renovation phase now. Once the film version is complete with added promotion time, it should basically be ready!" Lin Mu nodded as he spoke.
"I really look forward to it! Director Yu Zheng said the ratings of the TV series 'Palace Locks Liancheng' have skyrocketed, so he has high hopes for the film version too. We're hoping it can hit one hundred million at the box office when it premieres across major theaters!" Sister Xun said gleefully.
"Ha, not just one hundred million! With this lingering interest from the series, I believe hitting one hundred million for the film version will be easy. According to the ratings, nearly sixty percent of the nation is watching 'Palace Locks Liancheng'. If that's the conversion rate, two hundred million wouldn't be a problem." Lin Mu chuckled, equally filled with anticipation for the film version.
"Wow, at that rate, won't Sister Xiaoxun become a household superstar?" Xiong Xiaoxiao exclaimed in awe.
"Ha, look at what you're saying. Your Sister Xiaoxun is already a superstar now." Lin Mu grinned.
Lin Mu was spot on. At this moment, Sister Xun was indeed becoming a superstar. Though she may not be a household name yet, anyone who's watched 'Palace Locks Liancheng' knows Sister Xun, especially given her character role that's loved by the masses. This is the first step to catapulting Sister Xun to fame.
"Hehe, Sister Xiaoxun will be my idol from now on!" Xiong Xiaoxiao giggled.
Sister Xun smiled, "Xiaoxiao, don't listen to your Brother Lin's nonsense. I'm nowhere near being a superstar."
"Sister Xiaoxun, stop being so modest. In our eyes, you're already a superstar!"
"This girl, such sweet talk…"
After breakfast, it was eight o'clock, and the beauties all said their farewells and left one by one, each busy with their own work. Lin Mu had a meeting to attend at nine. Although it wasn't particularly his concern, Sharapova would be there, making things different.
After all, the meeting was attended by city leaders, hence a formal occasion. So Lin Mu changed into a special Lomon Suit. Just as he finished, the phone rang. A glance showed it was a call from Sophie.
"Sophie, what's up?" Lin Mu answered the call.
"I heard from Manlin that you're attending a government meeting today. I'll be attending too. Want to go together?" Sophie said over the phone.
"Oh, that sounds great. I was worried about being bored alone, but now that you're going, it'll be much more interesting with your company!" Lin Mu said, quite excited.
"Alright then, come to the Yunhai Mansion to pick me up. I'll be waiting!" Sophie said.
"Alright, I'll be there soon!"
Lin Mu hung up the phone, hummed a little tune off-key, and drove to Yunhai Mansion. Arriving at the top floor's CEO office, Sophie was already dressed in a mature and enchanting business outfit, looking absolutely queen-like!
"Hello, Sophie!" Lin Mu greeted Sophie, who was sitting on the sofa.
Sophie glanced at Lin Mu and smiled gracefully, "It's not often that I see you wearing a suit when heading out."
"Today is intended for an important occasion, correct? Wearing anything else wouldn't suit my big boss status, right? Plus, when accompanying you, the business queen, I can't dress like a bumpkin, can I?" Lin Mu chuckled as he sat beside Sophie.
"Not bad! I must say, when dressed up, you seem quite handsome. There's somewhat of an impression of an outstanding gentleman!" Sophie nodded in approval.
"I mean, beautiful CEO, with the way you talked, does that mean you think I'm not handsome at all usually? Rather much of a bumpkin?"
"I didn't say that; those are your words!" Sophie laughed gracefully again.
"Uh…"
"By the way, Manlin told me you're attending the meeting because of the Tsar Group, is that correct?" Sophie asked.
Lin Mu nodded, "Yes, today the mayor of Russia's Khabarovsk, Sharapova, will attend by invitation. As for this Sharapova, I suspect her other identity is the Tsar Group leader, Sharapova. Though this is uncertain, otherwise, I wouldn't attend such a bothersome meeting!"
Sophie had heard about Sharapova from Qi Manlin before and nodded, "Sharapova's identity as mayor is confirmed without doubt. If she is also part of the Tsar Group, that's no small matter. If Tsar's subordinates infiltrate government leadership, it's unimaginable how terrifying Tsar's power would be!"
"Haha." Lin Mu laughed and said, "From my perspective, it's no big deal. For seven years, I've been well acquainted with international extremist organizations. The underworld in Russia differs from Huaxia's. Tsar has official backing—given Russia's election system is unlike Huaxia's. All they need are votes. If Tsar has enough power, they can gather plenty of votes or simply cultivate government officials to work for them."
Sophie smiled gracefully, "What kind of work did you do in those seven years? How do you know all this? Why are you so knowledgeable about international black organizations?"
