"I was busy with other things at the time and didn't ask about it. I left it to the people in the department to take full responsibility," Jane said.
This was very understandable. The Hilton Group was so big, so it was impossible to leave everything to Jane.
The people under her definitely needed to work after receiving their pay.
Soon, the script was put into production.
She didn't expect the author of the script to suddenly make a comeback!
"Then he actually accused us on the internet of bullying him and forced him to sign the overbearing clause!" Jane said angrily.
Because the methods were too dirty, she didn't even bother to remember his name.
Simon was a little puzzled.
For a big company like Hilton, the contract for signing the script had a template.
The person-in-charge would evaluate the value of the script, the author's ability, and then make some slight changes.
Why would there suddenly be an overbearing clause?
Then, an idea flashed through his mind. Simon asked, "Did the person-in-charge make the decision on his own?"
Jane nodded weakly.
"That's right. When the person-in-charge saw that the author was easy to talk to, he had a devious idea and signed the authorship rights of that person."
"It's equivalent to a contract of selling someone, only allowing that person to serve us."
The person-in-charge's heart was quite vicious. He actually dared to scam people like this.
An author with slightly normal brains would not sign this condition but that author really did sign it!
It was an obvious trap. The person-in-charge thought that he had picked up a bargain.
"Did that author stir up public opinion after that?" Simon asked.
When one wanted to twist one's arm, public opinion was the standard setting.
Jane was quite surprised by her brother's guess.
Her bright eyes revealed a little surprise. She raised her hand and gestured, "Continue."
"For Hilton to pick the script, it proves that the author's ability is not bad. There must be a considerable number of loyal fans."
"The group is indeed unreasonable in this matter, so the fans can lead passersby to side with the author."
"Even if the person-in-charge of the script is pushed out, the netizens will think that they've found a scapegoat, and their comments will make things worse."
After saying that, Simon got up and poured two glasses of water.
Having said that, they were going to spend a longer time talking about this matter.
Jane nodded happily.
Simon's logic was clear and logical, and the facts were exactly the same as what he said.
"That's right!" Jane praised. "The group's reputation has been damaged, and there's even a black PR who fabricated a black history, causing the group's share price to fall."
"It really was premeditated!" Simon frowned and thought seriously.
Hilton Group was already the head company, and there were very few companies that could compete with it.
Small companies playing tricks were courting death.
At present, the most suspicious company was the company that robbed the script.
"What's the name of the company that robbed the script?" Simon asked abruptly.
Jane took out her phone from her bag and showed Simon the company's information.
Simon looked down and read it carefully.
Name: Sanno Network Co. Ltd.
Main business: newspapers, magazines, and publications
When it was founded...
Seeing the third column, Simon knew that there was no need to continue reading, so he returned the phone to Jane.
Sanno was founded less than three months ago, and they dared to openly challenge Hilton!
It was obviously a shell company, used by someone to trap Hilton!
There must be someone behind it!
Simon's eyes changed slightly, and he looked straight into Jane's eyes and said, "Sister, do you have any leads?"
Seeing the anger jumping in Simon's eyes, Jane's heart skipped a beat.
He looked so reliable.
The sudden thought made Jane shy away and said with a faint smile.
"Not yet. I'm thinking of a way to restore the company's reputation."
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Simon asked with concern.
This sentence hit Jane's heart.
No matter how strong she was, there would come a time when she would not be able to hold on.
When she learned how to read and learned how to manage the company from her mother, she was already used to stress and taking care of others.
But that day... she actually wanted to rely on Simon a little...
"No need." Jane tucked her hair behind her ear. "I can handle it, don't worry."
Simon was slightly stunned and shut his mouth obediently.
Indeed, he could not ask her anymore. If he asked her again, it would be time for him to go to the company and help her.
However, the way eldest sister looked like she was in a terrible state made him feel really uncomfortable.
He had to think of a way to help her.
Got it!
Since he could not help her on the surface, he could just use a cheat!
"System, bind Jane!"
[Ding! Target eldest sister Jane detected. Target binding successful!]
"Eldest sister system's name is 'Return Rate System'!"
[Yes, Sir!]
Looking at Jane again, she was slightly stunned at first. Then, she smiled at Simon, covered her ears, and walked to the dining area.
"Who's talking?" Jane sat at the dining table and looked around, looking for the source of the voice.
[Congratulations, Target is bound to the 'Return Rate System'. It can randomly increase the rate of return on the basic profit!]
Increase the rate of return!
Jane's eyes lit up. There was such a good thing?
She immediately took out her merchant nature. "What is the rate of return?"
She accepted it really quickly. As expected of eldest sister.
[Rate of return is random...]
"Random? There has never been any random in my place! Give me an accurate number!" Jane said coldly.
Hmm?
Simon thought that something was wrong.
Why did she seem to have changed into a different person?
Did the gentle and virtuous eldest sister suddenly turn into the iron lady?
"I'll give you two minutes." Jane lowered her voice. There was no room for doubt!
F*ck!
Simon's hair stood on end. So this was the real eldest sister!
[The return rate is based on the amount of profit of the investment company. It has to be judged according to the potential of the target of the investment.]
[I'm sorry that the system is unable to calculate for you in the current situation.]
"Useless!" Jane scolded.
If the system worked in the Hilton Group, this kind of low efficiency would have made him pack up and leave!
Simon didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In front of the system, the eldest sister's imposing manner didn't decrease at all.
[First mission: quickly find the investment target and redeem the reputation of the group.]
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Jane asked back, her sharp eyes like a knife.
[I don't dare, I'm just suggesting...]
"Hmph, you better not let me waste my time!" Jane snorted coldly.
Then she returned to the living room and sat down.
Simon was scared out of his wits.
What a terrifying woman, she even dared to threaten the system!
"Eldest Sister, were you hungry when you went to the dining area just now? Let me cook something for you." Simon tried his best to squeeze out a smile, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Jane touched her brother's cheek and said with a smile, "No need. The secretary will send it over later."
She looked at the clock on the wall and felt that it was about time. She said gently, "I'm going out soon. You should go to sleep."
Her voice was so gentle that it was like a stream running through the stone, which made Simon's ears numb.
It was as if she had discovered a shocking secret.
His eldest sister seemed to have two personalities.
The insufferably arrogant female CEO smiled gently and movingly in front of him just now.
Thinking back, he seemed to have disobeyed her before...
But fortunately, his eldest sister was very gentle to him.
Hearing Jane's words, Simon smiled. "Alright, be careful on your way. No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of your health."
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
"Wait." Jane suddenly stopped him and said with a smile in her eyes.
"I'm preparing to increase the competitiveness of the company. I want to invest in a company."
"Jewelry, clothing, film and television. Which industry do you think is better for me to invest in?"
Why did she suddenly ask him?
Simon knew that she did not like to wait, so he casually said, "Film and television. The film and television industry is great, isn't it?"
Wait!
Eldest sis probably didn't want to make such a hasty decision...
He was just casually saying!
