Chapter 470: Chapter 468: Meteor Garden Premieres

After the show ended, Jiang Qin was finally free.

She had originally thought it would be a very leisurely assignment, but unexpectedly, she had been busy the whole time with no free moments at all.

Now that she had some free time, she immediately scooped up her child and asked Long Yue to go shopping.

It had to be said, the scenery on this planet was truly well done.

Places like the maple forests and flower-lined paths often seen in campus dramas and romance shows were all here. Although most of it was artificial, the atmosphere was genuine.

That’s why there were quite a few couples on the streets.

Although the couples weren’t always just one-to-one pairs.

Jiang Qin had specially dressed Zhaozhao in a cute little outfit, so her group was constantly taking pictures of the child.

When some people on the street recognized her, they came over to ask for her permission before taking a picture of Zhaozhao as well.

Her "human-pendant" fan site masters naturally got their shots too.

After all, wherever she had an official appearance, they would be there.

As a result, several cute photos of Zhaozhao also appeared on the Star Network.

[Another day of wanting to steal the baby.]

[I can tell at a glance, baby Zhaozhao wants to come to my house to play, and she wants her mommy to come along too.]

[Trying to take both, huh, poster above?]

[Why go through childbirth when snatching is so much easier? Please mail my daughter over, cash on delivery, thanks~~]

...

Jiang Qin rarely checked her Light Computer when she went out, so she didn’t see these comments and just focused on having fun.

She tasted the planet’s specialty foods, visited a few must-see attractions, and spent a full day having fun with her partners before moving on to the next city.

Meanwhile, *Meteor Garden* officially premiered.

As soon as the male lead appeared on a bicycle, everyone could see his poverty and integrity.

Because the plot and dialogue were quite true to daily university life, everyone found it rather engrossing.

But just when they thought it was a slice-of-life drama, a scene immediately followed where the F4 bullied a classmate, forcing them to drop out of school.

This made everyone’s teeth itch with anger.

"The main characters aren’t the F4, are they?"

"Maybe there’s a reason for it. Let’s just keep watching."

Next was the F4’s entrance. The four females, each with a different style, caused an adrenaline rush.

Of course, in the show’s plot, everyone was mostly afraid of them.

However, one of the gentle females lagged behind after her companion kicked something over and set it upright again.

After the male lead saw this, a curious expression appeared on his face.

At that moment, the background music started to play.

"Hard to forget the first time I saw you

A pair of charming eyes

In my mind, your image lingers on..."

The moment this song began, even before the plot progressed further, everyone seemed to get a taste of sweet romance.

Even though the first episode was very slice-of-life, everyone still enjoyed watching it.

Because based on the premise established in the first episode, it was a genre they hadn’t seen before but were interested in.

***

After five days of vacation, Jiang Qin returned to the Federation Main Star with her partners.

It was also on this day that she received the data feedback for *Meteor Garden*.

Xie Lili contacted her, saying, "Miss Jiang, I’ve compiled all the monitoring data and sent it to you.

According to our team’s analysis, the drama is having an effect, especially during the more emotionally charged plot points.

For example, at points that make people angry, sad, or anxious due to misunderstandings, the females’ emotional fluctuations were significantly stronger.

At times like these, there’s a chance it will prompt their Spiritual Bodies to separate on their own."

Jiang Qin looked over the data as she listened.

Only after Xie Lili finished did she reply, "Mm, how are things going at our company?"

"Everything is ready to go. Would you like to come over in person?"

"Let’s say ten o’clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I’ll make the arrangements on my end."

"Alright, that’s settled then. Go on with your work, and make sure you get enough rest," Jiang Qin added casually, showing her concern.

This concern warmed Xie Lili’s heart.

As a Half-beastman female, she felt truly lucky to have such a good job and such a great boss.

Moreover, because she was publicly known as the assistant who managed the studio for Jiang Qin, some companies or individuals seeking collaborations would come to her.

Although those people wouldn’t go out of their way to curry favor with a Half-beastman female, they were still polite and courteous.

Therefore, working for Jiang Qin, she truly felt respected and had managed to change her entire family’s living conditions through her own efforts.

To her, this was an immense kindness.

To repay this kindness, she never dared to slack off, always handling every task conscientiously and keeping a close eye on the staff under her.

She was long accustomed to the workload, so she didn’t feel tired. On the contrary, she was full of motivation.

...

The next day, Lan Yuyan and Yuan Ling accompanied Jiang Qin to see the company.

The office building was rented. The Lan Family did own office buildings, but she hadn’t wanted one before.

After all, her venture was just a small-scale operation, and she was only willing to deal with Lan Yuyan’s family, not wanting to get too involved with the rest of the Lan family.

So she had deliberately avoided them and rented a floor in an office building owned by the Bai family instead.

Now, however, it was two floors.

All the newly hired staff at the office were lined up at the entrance to welcome Jiang Qin for her inspection.

"Hello, Boss!"

Jiang Qin smiled politely and, with Xie Lili’s introductions, got to know the new company’s management team and the division of labor among the various departments.

She already trusted Xie Lili, so this was just a brief overview.

After the tour, she convened a meeting.

First, she told them about the company’s main direction going forward.

Essentially, she explained the concept of short-form dramas in detail, worried they might not understand what they were.

After she finished, one of them raised a hand, indicating they had something to say.

"Please speak, Manager Jiang."

"Boss, this model doesn’t seem any different from short videos, does it?"

"Right, it’s similar. The only difference is that there will be a continuous plot, and all the episodes will be uploaded at once."

"So, will we be cooperating with short video platforms then?"

Jiang Qin shook her head. "I’ve already had someone develop a platform. This is our company’s technical consultant."

She introduced Yuan Ling to everyone.

It was work for his female master, so of course he was happy to do it. It didn’t matter that a job like this was an underutilization of his talents.

"In the future, we will build a brand-new platform dedicated solely to short-form dramas. Therefore, to have content available at launch, we need to film multiple series simultaneously.

In that regard, I’ll have to ask Manager Jiang to follow up on this. Recruit more filming crews. If there are recent graduates from directing programs, you can let them try out as well.

Next is the matter of scripts. I have five on hand right now. You can start filming these to serve as initial promotional material.

For future scripts, you can look at novel platforms. If you find some that are particularly interesting—including those that are bizarre, novel, or the like—you can buy the rights for adaptation." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Everyone was now busy taking notes on the key points of the meeting, without even a moment to look up.

They were finally beginning to understand: this company was about to pioneer a whole new industry.
