It was just like that movie Deng Chao directed and starred in. Although the online reception was mediocre, it was still his first attempt at becoming a director.
It’s said that a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.
An actor who doesn’t want to be a boss is not a good actor.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the fifty-eighth floor, which was where Yunmengze was holding its annual meeting. Pei Rang had booked the entire floor.
The moment they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a lively commotion.
Quite a few people were in the hallway, chatting in small groups. Every one of them wore a festive smile.
When they saw Su Chen and his group exit the elevator, they all called out enthusiastically, "Hello, Boss!"
Su Chen gave a slight nod, but inwardly he was ecstatic. ’A scene like this is truly thrilling!’
The banquet hall spanned a full two thousand square meters, taking up two-thirds of the floor. It was the Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s public banquet hall.
After Su Chen and his group went inside, the murmuring in the hallway grew louder.
"The boss is so young and handsome!"
"Did you see the guy next to the boss? That’s Sicong! The ’National Husband’! I can’t believe he’s at our company’s annual meeting. Don’t tell me our boss is some third-generation heir, too!"
"Did you see those three foreigners? They’re the heads of the Huaxia divisions for three of the world’s top luxury brands! I can’t believe they came. Is our boss part of the luxury brand circle?"
"For real? Big shots like that came to our company’s annual meeting?"
"And Deng Chao and his wife, plus Chen He, are right behind them! I can’t believe we’re seeing actual celebrities in the flesh," some of the young women said excitedly. "I wonder if we can get photos and autographs with them after the meeting!"
The chatter grew more and more animated until a manager from the logistics department came out of the banquet hall. He scanned the crowd, clapped his hands, and said, "What are you all still doing standing around out here? Don’t you know the meeting is about to start?"
As soon as he spoke, the once-buzzing hallway fell silent. Everyone hurried into the banquet hall.
..................
The banquet hall was set up with thirty tables, and nearly all of them were full.
Led by Pei Rang, Su Chen took his seat at the head table. Next to him were Emma and her two companions, Sicong, Deng Chao and his wife, Chen He, and Pei Rang himself. With Su Chen, there were exactly nine of them. The company’s other senior executives sat at an adjacent table.
