Chapter 124 American Sea Turtle Cai Xiangdong_1

In the conference room of Xinghai Media, Xu Yixue sat at the head of the table, holding a meeting with a group of company executives.

The meeting was about the development of new artists. Currently, Xinghai Media only had Xu Xinxin whose looks could stand out; the rest were just second or third-tier, and even with resources invested in them, it was difficult to transform them into top-tier popular artists.

In the conference room, Xu Yixue was dressed in a sharp dark blue business suit, her face made up with simple, light makeup, and her hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, her neck white and slender, with an aura of decisiveness and authority between her brows, the very image of a domineering CEO.

“I plan to recruit a new batch of talent from the Zhonghai Film and Television Academy as backup for our idol-type artists. Then, from the Changdian Film and Television Base, we’ll enlist a group of extras with acting skills who can endure hardship as backup for our skilled actors. Walking on two legs, we’ll develop both simultaneously, supporting the growth of Xinghai Media in Zhonghai City,” Xu Yixue explained while looking at her plan, addressing everyone in the room.

“No problem, this way we can restart the talent cultivation plan and avoid a potential gap in company talent,” one executive replied.

“Who would have thought that despite her young age, President Xu has such strategic vision, resolving the company’s major difficulties with a single move,” another commented.

“President Xu’s personal cover shoot for ‘Beauties’ magazine was also impressive—its first sales exceeded one hundred thousand copies. I heard from the judges of the Golden Lens Award that this issue might even have a good chance of winning the Best Magazine Crown of the year!”

A murmur filled the room as people discussed how, when Xu Yixue first joined the company, many were unconvinced due to her youth. But after seeing how she handled several matters, it became clear that she was indeed a capable and bold company manager.

Additionally, Xu Yixue also had the powerful identity of being part of the Xu Family.

Xu Corporation was one of the strongest financial groups in Yan Country, and as one of their own, Xu Yixue would undoubtedly have the Xu Family’s support. These company executives were all shrewd; if Xu Yixue had been incompetent, they might have united against her to sideline her and then siphon off the company’s benefits.

But Xu Yixue was exceptionally capable and astute, which was a boon for the company as well.

With the backing of the Xu Corporation’s robust support and Xu Yixue’s exceptional ability, Xinghai Media could continue to grow and expand in Zhonghai City’s media industry. These executives merely needed to work diligently, and with the company’s rising scale, they too would reap considerable gains.

If there came a day when Xinghai Media could go public and raise funds through Xu Yixue’s management, these veteran executives would certainly make a fortune.

Therefore, everyone present passed Xu Yixue’s meeting agenda without any opposing opinions.

In the conference room, only Vice President Cao Yuqin, who had initially made things difficult for Xu Yixue, sat there with a darkened face, looking uncomfortable.

Cao Yuqin had seen herself as the contender for the president’s chair, but Xu Yixue had taken the coveted position and had impressively steered the company back on track. Just a few days ago, many in the company had been nodding and bowing to Cao Yuqin, but now she could clearly feel that Xu Yixue had begun to win over the hearts of the company’s people.

Most people only knew of President Xu Yixue, and Cao Yuqin’s once bustling office was now very quiet, with few people coming to disturb her anymore.

The meeting lasted for a few more minutes. A confident smile flickered across Xu Yixue’s lips, then she addressed everyone, “Since the framework has been set, let’s all start acting according to our established plan. As someone new here, I appreciate everyone’s strong support. I hope that together, we can strive to make Xinghai Media a name card for Zhonghai and even for Yan Country. Thank you all. This meeting is adjourned.”

“Whirr,” a round of applause erupted from the crowd. Even Cao Yuqin reluctantly clapped a few times.

“Let’s all disperse,” Xu Yixue pressed her hands downward and nodded to the applauding crowd, signaling them to return to their respective posts.

Following that, everyone got up in turn, each greeting Xu Yixue before leaving the Xinghai Media meeting room.

Not until everyone had left, did the last young man slowly stand up and walked over to Xu Yixue.

This young man was dressed in an exquisite Versace suit and shirt, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair meticulously styled. His features were somewhat Eurasian, and his skin was very pale, carrying an air of refined elegance. He walked very politely to Xu Yixue’s side and bowed slightly, “President Xu, during the meeting just now, I forgot to express my opinion. In fact, we could also use the internet to filter for some more powerful live streamers as our contract partners. The live broadcasting industry is quite hot right now, and we can make some strong moves in this area to try to overtake our competitors in a curve.”

“Manager Cai, your suggestion is very good, and I will have the HR department look into the candidates,” Xu Yixue nodded and smiled at Cai Xiangdong.

Xu Yixue’s smile blossomed like a plethora of flowers, and facing it, Cai Xiangdong was completely smitten. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses near his ear and with a gentlemanly bow said to Xu Yixue, “President Xu, you’ve just arrived in Zhonghai City and probably haven’t had a chance to explore Zhonghai much. I know a few very good local restaurants in Zhonghai City that are hard for most people to find. The chefs have been top-grade for decades. Do I have the honor of inviting President Xu to taste the fine cuisine of Zhonghai with me?”

After speaking, Cai Xiangdong looked at Xu Yixue with deep affection.

His handsome features, along with that longing look, were very lethal to women.

Xu Yixue was simply the most beautiful girl Cai Xiangdong had ever seen since returning from studying abroad. Cai Xiangdong had spent eight years overseas for his education, completing his bachelor’s and master’s degrees and earning an MBA in economic management from the prestigious Copenhagen University in America. Naturally handsome and tall, he had never lacked girlfriends during his time in school.

In terms of work capability, he was also very formidable. Not yet thirty, he had achieved a managerial level in his department that other executives aspire to only in their forties or fifties, and he was managing his department’s business very successfully.

Hearing that Xu Yixue also had a few years of experience living in America, Cai Xiangdong felt his chance had come. He hastily broke up with his girlfriend and went through a full makeover, planning his move towards Xu Yixue.

Xu Yixue was not only beautiful but also a young member of the Xu Family, with enormous potential for future development. If he could woo Xu Yixue, then Cai Xiangdong need not be a department manager anymore—he would become the behind-the-scenes boss of Xinghai Media directly.

After much hesitation, Cai Xiangdong finally decided to make his move towards Xu Yixue today.
