Chapter 18
“Yes, the meeting is about to start. It’s a good opportunity for you to listen In, Dad said, agreeing with me
as he always did.
“Uncle, today is Tay’s first day at work, and she doesn’t know anything about the film industry. I’m afraid she’ll get bored sitting there and won’t understand what we’re talking about
“How about I have my assistant Alex take her around Radglo Corp. to get familiar with the different departments?”
Mona strongly opposed the idea. Who knew what her intentions were?
“Everything gets easier with practice. When you first joined Radglo Corp., you didn’t know anything, either. Back then, my dad always said you were dumber than a box of rocks!”
I didn’t care about Mona’s thoughts. After giving her a piece of my mind, I took Dad’s arm and walked into
the company.
Mona had no choice but to follow, but I could see that the smile was gone from her face.
I accompanied Dad into the conference room and sat beside him. This position had always been
reserved for Mona in the past.
When she saw that I had taken her seat, she had no choice but to sit on Dad’s other side.
All of Radglo Corp.’s executives were already present. Seeing me appear in the conference room, everyone seemed a bit surprised, but no one dared to say much.
The meeting started right on time,
This time, the discussion focused on two film projects: Alluring City” and “Desperate Love“.
These projects also marked Radglo Corp.’s first foray into the film industry since its transition from an
industrial business.
The two projects‘ leaders each gave a PowerPoint presentation about their respective projects.
As they spoke, my memories from my previous life gradually awakened..
In my memory from my previous life, Radglo Corp, chose “Alluring City” because it was their first foray
into the film industry.
They wanted to use this drama to make a splash in the market. As a result, they invested heavily in its production.
“Alluring City” had a massive initial investment, with a top–notch director and a star–studded cast. The pre- release marketing campaign was extensive, with huge amounts of money poured into advertising.
However, after the show aired, the ratings plummeted, causing a significant loss for Radglo Corp.
As for “Desperate Love,” I remembered that it was purchased by Holmes Group.
Chapte, TR
Gordon was not particularly interested in the film Industry. His decision to Invest in this drama was solely to promote Nora Flores as the fernale lend.
It was a low–budget production with relatively unknown directors and actors, except for Nora, who had some level of fame.
Unexpectedly, this drama became a hit, thanks to its excellent production quality and appealing theme.
It made the director and cast popular. Not only that, It also earned Gordon substantial profits and a reputation as a genius in the investment world.
At that time, Radglo Corp, suffered heavy losses from “Alluring City“, which caused unrest among the company’s shareholders and executives.
People began to question my father’s management ability due to this incident, and their doubts grew
stronger over time.
Recalling these memories, my mind started racing.
After the two project leaders finished their presentations, Mona stood up to summarize, “Combining the
proposals from both project leaders, I personally prefer ‘Alluring City.‘
“The historical romance genre has been quite popular in the film market lately, with many young people
enjoying it. The main characters are well–written, and the plot is refreshing.
*As for ‘Desperate Love,’ it’s just a typical romance story, Although the plot is relatable, the overall structure is average. I believe the response after release would be mediocre. What do you all think?”
Mona eloquently expressed her opinion, drawing on her years of experience in the industry.
I noticed that a few executives–agreed with her after she spoke, indicating that ‘Alluring City‘ was more
worthwhile to invest in.
The other executives did not express their views. Still, following the principle of majority rule, it would soon be finalized without room for further discussion if I didn’t speak up to oppose this decision.
So, I stood up and said confidently, “I disagree with this view. I think that ‘Alluring City‘ is too ambitious. It
has a complicated plot and an unremarkable romantic relationship between the main characters.
“Additionally, filming a historical drama is challenging. Most inexperienced actors can’t capture their characters‘ essence while hiring famous actors would require a significant investment.
“Moreover, there’s a hidden risk in this drama. According to the description provided by the project leader, there’s an explosion scene that, if mishandled, could lead to unnecessary losses and casualties.
“Radglo Corp. has mainly focused on the industrial business. Since this is our first venture into the film industry, I believe choosing a low–budget drama to test the waters would be a more cautious approach.
“Desperate Love‘ may be about a small romance, but it’s a refreshing story with positive values, aligning well with young people’s preferences today. I think this drama is more worthwhile to invest in.”
After expressing my views in one breath, the entire room fell into momentary silence.
Although I was the CEO’s daughter, it was my first day on the job. The executives didn’t know me well. So, it was normal that they were hesitant to agree with my opinions.
I looked toward Dad, who still had absolute authority within Radglo Corp. As long as he nodded in agreement, everything would be alright.
Dad and I exchanged a glance before he smiled and said, “Mona has a point, but Taylor’s perspective is
not without merit.
“As you all know, Radglo Corp. has been experiencing a serious cash flow crunch these past two years. We currently don’t have much surplus funding available.
“Therefore, I think choosing ‘Desperate Love‘ to test the waters might be a sensible move.”
My father tended to be conservative and cautious in his investment philosophy, so he was evidently leaning more toward my viewpoint.
However, Mona hastily interrupted him before he could finish speaking. “Mr. Morgan, I don’t agree with
that.
“A large company like Radglo Corp. entering the film industry for the first time should create a big impact using a high–budget drama to attract attention. This will maximize our profits.
“Taylor has never worked in this industry and doesn’t understand its operating rules. Her opinion is not worth considering!”
Mona was agitated, attacking me directly in the meeting room: Her fierce words rendered the executives.
silent, not daring to utter a word.
The meeting fell into a stalemate. However, for Radglo Corp.’s future, I couldn’t agree to invest in ‘Alluring City‘ no matter what.
I calmly looked at Mona and said, Although I haven’t worked before, I’ve watched many dramas over the
years.
“My opinion might not be authoritative enough if we were discussing other matters. But when it comes to dramas, I know more than you and understand better what young people enjoy watching.
“Dad, I believe investing in ‘Alluring City‘ is too risky, and ‘Desperate Love‘ is more suitable for Radglo Corp.’s foray into this industry.
“Moreover, if you agree, I’m willing to personally oversee this project until the drama launches in the
market.”
After I spoke, the project leader responsible for “Desperate Love” also stood up and once again explained his views on the drama from an investment perspective.
There was little investment risk for this drama from this angle, making it more suitable for Radglo Corp.’s current situation.
Dad was deep in thought. Seeing that he hadn’t expressed his opinion, Mona stood to disrupt his thoughts.

Looking at her impatient demeanor, I recalled more details from my previous life.
In my previous life, the reason this drama suffered severe losses was because Mona was the main
person in charge.
Later, I found out she had embezzled a significant amount of money during the production.
Mona cven kept in male celebrity starring in the drama as her sugar baby to satisfy her personal desires She also offered him many resources behind the scenes to curry favor.
Radolo Corp ‘s funds were already in trouble at this point. I couldn’t stand idly by and allow Mona to manipulate everything
In the following proceedings, Mona and I engaged in heated arguments for a long time. Eventually, Dad.
sided with me.
“Radglo Corp. is just starting to venture into the film industry. Playing it safe will allow us to go further.
“Since Taylor insists on working on the ‘Desperate Love‘ project, let’s give it a try! As for big productions like Alluring City, we can tackle those once we gain more experience,” Dad finally announced, making the
final decision.
The meeting concluded with this decision.
I received the project plan for “Desperate Love“, and Dad handed over this project to me.
I understood that Dad’s decision was not only intended to explore the film industry but also to train me.
After the meeting ended, I tidied up the documents and wanted to take a breather on Radglo Corp.’s
rooftop.
However, as I pushed open the door to the rooftop and was about to step onto the terrace, I overheard a conversation between Mona and my uncle, Willard Morgan.
