Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 71: He Is My Boss

When Lin Fan and Su Jinjin met at Yunding Manor, at the other end, Chen Lingling came alone to the Tourist Animation Company. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

As the "new boss" of this company, Su Jinjin’s specific position is President. Besides Lin Fan, no one can shake her status, making her second in command at Tourist Comics.

Tourist Comics, one of the top three animation giants in the country, is a place Chen Lingling has long admired.

Chen Lingling has hit a wall several times at Tourist Comics. She interviewed but failed; she submitted many works but never got through. Her character is somewhat persistent, experiencing continuous failures but repeatedly trying, even the editors at Tourist are familiar with her.

Just like usual, Chen Lingling wore a dress, tied her hair in double ponytails, looking like a young lady stepped out of a manga. Although those female presidents on TV wear professional attire, she doesn’t like that style.

Yesterday, while shopping for clothes, Brother Lin also said that she can wear whatever she likes.

So she became a female president who looks nothing like a president.

As soon as she arrived at the Tourist company, upon entering, Chen Lingling encountered a familiar editor, a middle-aged uncle with the surname Bai. It was precisely this Editor Bai who repeatedly rejected Chen Lingling’s submissions, having just refused one again two days ago.

Upon seeing Chen Lingling, Editor Bai exclaimed, frowned, and said: "What are you doing here again? Didn’t I reply to your email saying your manuscript isn’t good enough!"

Chen Lingling hurriedly said: "You’ve misunderstood, Teacher Bai, I’m not here because of the manuscript."

Editor Bai said: "Oh, so you’ve come to interview again? I remember you were rejected once, weren’t you? You sure are persistent!"

Editor Bai’s tone carried a bit of sarcasm, clearly mocking Chen Lingling for her lack of self-awareness.

Chen Lingling said: "I’m not here for an interview either."

Editor Bai was puzzled: "Not for an interview, not for your manuscript, then what are you here for? Do you know what kind of place this is? It’s not somewhere you can come at your leisure!"

Chen Lingling, gentle by nature, didn’t retort angrily but calmly said: "Actually, I’m here to work."

Editor Bai seemed to have heard a joke and couldn’t help but laugh: "Work? When did you pass the interview? How come I don’t know? I think you’re here to make trouble!"

Chen Lingling said: "I’m really here to work, sorry, Teacher Bai, I don’t have time to speak with you further."

Editor Bai blocked Chen Lingling, sneering: "You must be here to make trouble. I’m not trying to discourage you, but let me be frank: you have no talent in animation and are doomed to not develop here. You’d better give up and go think about doing something else!"

At this moment, a glasses lady in professional attire hurriedly ran out, directly coming before Chen Lingling, looking a bit flustered.

"I deeply apologize, President, I was delayed by something, I should have greeted you at the entrance." The glasses lady nervously apologized.

Upon seeing the glasses lady, Chen Lingling was delighted and smiled: "It’s okay, you must be Sister Xiaozhu."

Xiaozhu, her assistant, knew she would assume office today and had already added her on WeChat early on, agreeing to meet at the company.

Hearing the President call her "sister," the glasses lady was overwhelmed: "President, you can just call me Xiaozhu. Let me take you inside, the company executives are waiting for you."

The upper echelons of Tourist Company had already learned that Lin Fan acquired the company and a female President had been parachuted in, assuming office today!

This news was temporarily known only to the executives and hadn’t been communicated to the whole company yet.

"Alright." Chen Lingling smiled, turned to nod at Editor Bai, "I’ll head in first, talk later."

After speaking, she followed Xiaozhu inside.

As for Editor Bai, he was already dumbstruck.

Oh my!

Chen Lingling is actually the company’s new female President?

This leap is too big, how did she do it?

Wait!

Talk later!

Is she planning to settle old scores with him?

Editor Bai instantly shivered.

Tourist Company’s conference room.

The company’s upper management was all gathered, waiting for Chen Lingling.

Although everyone was mentally prepared when they saw Chen Lingling come in, they were still befuddled, the company’s new female President is actually a young girl?

Are we kidding here! How could such a young girl possibly lead the company well!

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Lingling. Please take care of me in the future, and may I ask everyone to introduce themselves so I can get to know you." Chen Lingling said very politely.

The senior executives then introduced themselves one by one.

Afterwards, a male executive said: "President, you came at a perfect time, we are currently locked in an argument over something, just right for you to make a decision."

Chen Lingling looked over and saw it was the company’s Project Director, Director Zhao.

Chen Lingling said: "Director Zhao, please speak."

Director Zhao said: "We are currently preparing to shoot an animation, aiming to set a new benchmark for domestic animation, with a starting box office of 1 billion! However, we have differences over the theme; currently, there are two main choices, one is Journey to the West, and the other is Nezha. Which do you think we should go for?"

Chen Lingling happily said: "Creating domestic animation, that’s great, this has always been my dream!"

Never expected to encounter such a project right when I joined the company. Chen Lingling was indeed very happy.

The higher-ups exchanged glances; this girl didn’t look like a CEO at all, more like a schoolgirl in the wrong place.

Director Zhao coughed twice, "Ahem, CEO, you haven’t answered my question yet."

Chen Lingling calmed down, thought seriously, and said, "In my opinion, when it comes to Journey to the West, it’s a popular theme with numerous works, some of which are excellent. If we do another one, it would be difficult to bring something new. I’m more optimistic about the Nezha theme; although it’s relatively niche, it has a lot of room for creativity. I happen to have drawn a piece about Nezha."

After hearing Chen Lingling, the higher-ups all showed disdainful expressions.

Clearly, Chen Lingling didn’t understand the market!

Director Zhao said, "The CEO has drawn Nezha? Where was your masterpiece published?"

Chen Lingling said, "Well... I submitted it to Tourist Comics before, but it was not accepted..."

Upon hearing this, the higher-ups began snickering, and some couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

A piece that wasn’t even accepted, and she dares to mention it!

Director Zhao said, "CEO, forgive my frankness, but you don’t understand the market! Although there are many works on the Journey to the West, it’s a super IP with national recognition and high traffic. If we carefully craft a good work, we won’t lack an audience. In contrast, Nezha is very niche. Even if we do something extraordinary, it would have little value!"

The executives all nodded, agreeing with Director Zhao’s viewpoint.

Chen Lingling felt a bit dejected. She didn’t expect to be given a hard time by Director Zhao as soon as she arrived. How could she succeed as CEO if she couldn’t win people over?

At this moment, Chen Lingling’s phone rang.

Seeing it was Lin Fan calling, she practically treated it as a lifesaver, quickly picking up.

"Lingling, have you started work yet? How’s it going?" Lin Fan asked.

Chen Lingling said, "Brother, I’ve started work and encountered a little problem..."

Chen Lingling explained the movie project issue.

Lin Fan said, "I’m on my way. We’ll talk when I get there."

By this time, Lin Fan had already driven down the hill. Since it was Chen Lingling’s first day at work, he was a bit worried and planned to check on her. He called Chen Lingling midway and found that she indeed encountered some problems.

When he arrived at Tourist Animation Company, Lin Fan parked his car and walked into the company.

A middle-aged man approached.

Editor Bai!

Editor Bai was holding a large stack of works. After seeing Lin Fan, he looked him up and down.

Head to toe in cheap clothes!

Editor Bai felt a bit disdainful and asked, "What are you doing here? You can’t just wander in!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I really can wander in here."

He owned 100% of Tourist Comics’ shares; no one was more qualified to enter than him.

Editor Bai frowned, annoyed, and said, "I think you’re here to cause trouble. Please leave, or I’ll call security!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to respond, his phone rang.

Lin Fan pulled out his phone to answer, "Lingling, I just arrived and was stopped. Yes, come out for a moment."

While Lin Fan was on the phone, his Rolex on his wrist was inadvertently exposed.

Editor Bai immediately noticed the Rolex and felt a jolt in his heart.

Damn, that’s a Rolex!

This guy, dressed in cheap clothes but wearing a Rolex worth tens of thousands! Did I misjudge him?

Editor Bai was sweating profusely. Damn, clearly a rich guy, so why wear cheap clothes? It easily leads to misunderstandings!

"Brother!"

At this moment, Chen Lingling happily ran out. Seeing Lin Fan, she breathed a sigh of relief. With Brother Lin around, she feared nothing.

Editor Bai felt a bit weak at the knees, as if he might collapse.

The CEO actually called this guy brother, could he be the CEO’s family member? Not only did he offend the CEO, but also the CEO’s family?

Editor Bai almost wanted to cry.

"Haha, CEO, who is this handsome guy to you?" Editor Bai forced a smile and asked.

Chen Lingling blushed and said, "He’s my... boss, yeah, he’s the boss here."

She wanted to say Brother Lin was her boyfriend, but felt too shy to say it. With a quick wit, she cleverly called him her boss.

Little did she know, her words almost scared Editor Bai out of his wits.
