What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Xiang had already opened the file and quickly scanned it, her brows knitting slightly. \"Ah Fei, are you planning a major overhaul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei nodded. \"Yes, it must be done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the proposal, Xiang Xiang Huaqiang pondered for a moment. \"You will directly manage the Creative Department? Does this mean you are stepping down as Executive President?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei replied, \"Yes. Scriptwriting and music composition are the core of film, television, and song; they must be kept firmly in hand. As for stepping down as Executive President, I trust my uncles won't disregard my opinion on this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Xiang closed the file and looked at Xiang Xiang Huaqiang. \"I think we should give it a try; things are indeed too chaotic right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng, however, was displeased. \"What about me? What will happen to the people under me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei was prepared. \"Uncle Sheng, you will continue to be responsible for external cooperation and investment; no one is better suited for that than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes. \"And the Artist Department? My people are managing that now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei stated calmly, \"The Artist Department must be split; actors belong with actors, singers with singers; they can no longer be mixed together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng slammed the table. \"No! I don't agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference room instantly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang tapped the table. \"Ah Sheng, calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei took a deep breath. \"Uncle Sheng, do you know that currently, when our singers go act and our actors go sing, the result is that neither side fares well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng snorted. \"So what? As long as it makes money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei shook his head. \"It may earn money in the short term, but in the long run, it will destroy Win Rise's reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lady Xiang interjected at the right moment. \"Ah Sheng, Ah Fei makes a valid point. Look at Shaw Brothers; after they separated their actors and singers, didn't their development improve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng glared. \"Which side are you on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Xiang responded calmly, \"I am on Win Rise's side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang finally spoke. \"Ah Fei, are you certain this change will improve efficiency?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei nodded. \"Absolutely. Currently, a single project goes through too many unnecessary stages from initiation to release, wasting both time and resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiang Sheng. \"Ah Sheng, let Ah Fei give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sheng looked incredulous. \"Big Brother! You're just going to let Ah Fei act recklessly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang's tone was firm. \"He is not acting recklessly; he is doing this for the future of Win Rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiang Xiang Huaqiang's resolute attitude, Xiang Sheng knew he could not change his mind and could only say resentfully, \"Fine, you two have the final say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. \"Thank you, Uncle Sheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Xiang smiled. \"Then how exactly will this be executed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei said, \"Complete the departmental adjustments and reassign personnel within one week; those unwilling to cooperate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang cut in: \"Just walk away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei nodded: \"Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Xiang closed the file: \"I have no objections; I'll handle the split for the Artist Department myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xiang Huaqiang stood up: \"Then it's settled. Meeting adjourned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone filed out of the conference room, Xiang Sheng, walking last, suddenly turned to look at Xiang Fei: \"Ah Fei, don't disappoint me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Fei met his gaze: \"Uncle Sheng, I will make Wing Sing the number one in Xiangjiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-17T20:39:14.290Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","5b3061856dc5a990cc7285e2dfd1ecadcac4ae9cb224e603120b8653f4a047be","hong-kong-1984-building-a-cultural-empire-chapter-78","hong-kong-1984-building-a-cultural-empire-chapter-76",152,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhong-kong-1984-cover.jpg"]
