Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 201 Charity Gala

For the next month, I buried myself in work, barely going home.

I even took a two-week business trip overseas just to avoid Eric. By the time I returned, I hadn't even had a chance to tell him I was back before I was pulled straight into a board meeting.

The reason was simple-Elise's debut film had taken the internet by storm, skyrocketing her follower count by the millions. Because of our foresight in signing her, Brown Group also ended up trending.

The company's official social media account gained over a million followers in just a few days. The comment section was flooded with Elise's fans.

"Brown Group, you guys have the best eye for talent! Your instincts are insane!"

"It's my girl's first endorsement deal-I'm supporting this no matter what!" "Please, I'm begging you invest in more films for Elise! We need more!" The last comment sparked an idea.

Brown Group had subsidiaries in many industries, but entertainment had never been one of them. Launching a production company might be a worthwhile expansion.

In my past life, I never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, but I did remember some major projects. This might be a chance to take Brown Group to the next level.

After thinking it through, I brought up the proposal during the board meeting. The board members exchanged glances in silence. At least this time, they didn't mock me like before.

Seeing them all remain silent, I gave a faint smile and said calmly, "I understand the economy isn't what it used to be. But diversifying our investments will give Brown Group more ways to thrive. I know every one of you has the company's best interests at heart. That's why I hope you'll at least consider what I'm saying." After speaking, I glanced around the room and waited in silence.
