Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

However, that was not a big problem. Nowadays, to do something, you only needed two things: one was to have a lot of money, and the other was to have an exceptional network.

As it happened, Liang Lu had both.

Liang Lu had a very wealthy fiancé, and although Old Master Lu hadn’t been too pleased with her in the past few years, by now, he had come to the realization that he couldn’t change his grandson’s affection for Liang Lu, so he simply stopped concerning himself with their business.

Lu Qing was already the de facto head of the Lu family, so he could use his authority to invest in Liang Lu. Although the Lu family was not as wealthy as the Tao or Zhuang families, after several years of development, they had become the wealthiest in the city. Investing one hundred million in a TV drama was no problem for them.

Besides, Liang Lu had a whole bunch of wealthy friends, like Tian Tian, Xu Yan, and Tan Rou, each readily able to invest tens of millions. Thus, her TV drama had investments amounting to hundreds of millions.

The Tao family managed the best entertainment company in the entire Capital and even the whole country, naturally providing great assistance to Liang Lu. Plus, if someone like Tao Zheng, who was so out of sync, could be the owner of a film company, why couldn’t Liang Lu?

Liang Lu had discussed the matter with Tan Rou and the others quite early on. At that time, Tao Zheng was also present, and he mentioned he would help promote Liang Lu, as well as find some reliable industry employees for her.

He had not yet settled on any candidates, but Yu Xian’s incident a few days prior had given him inspiration. Since there were no individual employees to recruit, why not poach high-paying individuals from other companies?

And the unfortunate target he chose was Yu Zhen.

Tao Zheng told Liang Lu about his idea of choosing candidates, and during a dinner party, Liang Lu learned about the incidents involving Yu Zhen and Yu Xian bullying Li Li. The two hatched a plan to poach employees from under Yu Zhen’s wing.

Poaching needed a catalyst; they certainly couldn’t just paste a hiring advertisement on Yu Zhen’s company’s door. While they were figuring out how to poach staff from Yu Zhen’s company, a former employee who had left Yu Zhen’s company approached them.

This ex-employee was previously Yu Zhen’s assistant. After being dismissed, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, hell-bent on teaching Yu Zhen a lesson. However, before giving Yu Zhen a taste of his own medicine, he needed to secure a stable job for himself first.

It so happened that Liang Lu’s company was hiring, so he came over.

Liang Lu personally conducted the interview, and upon learning that he came from Yu Zhen’s company, an idea instantly formed in her mind.

She first offered the assistant a relatively high salary, allowing him to act as the HR manager to help her with recruitment.

The assistant had done various tasks and was familiar with what the HR Department entailed, so the new job wasn’t difficult for him.

Once he was hired, Liang Lu told him about the recruitment needs and hinted, openly and covertly, that he could check with his former colleagues regarding wages, assuring him that they would not be shortchanged.

People go out to work for money, and some employees at Yu Zhen’s company who were not doing well quickly resigned. Their lackluster performance was not necessarily due to their own lack of competence; it could also be because there were too many nepotism hires in their company, given that even their boss was there through connections.

Next were the long-time employees; to convince them to leave, it was necessary to offer them better terms.

Liang Lu was not stingy with money, and she also prepared excellent compensation for experienced staff. As a result, those longstanding employees also switched sides. As long as the treatment was good, they could work anywhere.

The new company had a young boss with abundant finances, and following her would surely lead to endless development.

For their future, employees leapt at the chance to switch companies, which led to the daily decrease of Yu Zhen’s staff, causing normal operations to become unsustainable.

While Yu Zhen toiled hard at recruiting new employees, Liang Lu’s film production company kicked off. She named it Dazzling Entertainment, wishing for the company to shine as brightly as diamonds and continue to prosper.

On the day of the ribbon-cutting, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu brought exquisite and valuable gifts. In return, Liang Lu invited them to the premiere of her own movie.
