Janine side-eyed the person.
Hannah’s lackeys were really loyal. Did they think that their master could rise again?
Janine had never regarded these people much back when Hannah was still part of the board of directors. Hannah
could only act her way because of Noah. Now that she was no longer on the board of directors, what did her
lackeys think they could amount to?
Janine scoffed. “And what makes you think the audience won’t buy it?”
The person could not answer.
Janine presented another graph, a report produced after several rounds of market surveys.
From the data evaluation, the production was a niche film, but its reception would not be too bad. At least, there
would be no problem trying for an international award.
“Besides, our company has numerous award-winning actors,” said Janine. “As well as the prodigious director, Trinity
Lulham. I don’t have to tell you about her achievements. She’s doing great recently, so this film isn’t an issue!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Madam Baker, having many stars in the film doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good!” Someone opposed. “Neil and
Millie are known only in Centrolis. If we want to keep the Chaiseland and even Eropah’s market, we have to use
local artists.”
“You mean to produce two versions?”
The person shrugged and smiled cryptically.
A whispered discussion broke out in the board meeting. Two versions would mean more than double the cost.
The same person said with a smile, “Madam Baker, didn’t Millie do badly when she tried for the Eropah market the
last time?”
Janine’s face fell.
The opinions in the board meeting changed as well. Someone even chorused. “Yeah, we can’t use Millie anymore.
Ms. Lulham’s going for an artistic film this time, and everyone knows that it’s the genre that makes the least money.
Why isn’t she asked to keep producing commercial films?”
“Ms. Lulham’s previous films did very well. The returns were great, weren’t they?”
” Yeah, she should keep producing commercial films!”
The board members kept talking, each sentence challenging the bottom line of Janine’s patience.
“What do you all know!?” Janine erupted. “What about Trinity shooting an artistic film? It’s art! Besides, Millie did
badly? The box office didn’t do well, but the film won an international award!
“Go back and study more if you’re so free! Understand what doing badly means before coming here to argue with
me!”
Janine’s series of clap backs shocked everyone into silence.
The meeting room was quiet, and Janine smiled, raking her sharp gaze over everyone.
“People, are we resuming the meeting?”
“Yes, yes! Please go on, Madam Baker…”
“Anyone else objecting to this film?”
“No, no more.”
” So it’s a unanimous pass?”

brows weakly.

In a board meeting where his mother was, he was just her assistant slash follower.
Janine’s most distinctive characteristic was that she was fiercely protective of her own.
She had been so agitated just now because Trinity was Cordelia’s friend, and Millie supported Cordelia
wholeheartedly as well. She would protect people or things that were related to Cordelia, fiercely so.
Zephyr was puzzled. By relationship, he was the closest to Cordelia… Why was his mother not that protective of
him?
“But Madam Baker, this investment…” Someone still voiced their doubt. “The Baker Group has varied businesses,
and media is only one of them. We can’t not consider the issue of cost.”
Janine looked at the person coldly.
This time, she let Zephyr speak up.
Zephyr cleared his throat. “No need to worry about the cost. Artistic films don’t make a lot, but it’s also a low-cost
production. If the box office is great, the profit is expected to be significant too.”
