Zane was determined to cause more trouble for Jessica. That way, she wouldn''t have time to disturb Annalise.


    Just then, somebody knocked on his office door.


    Zane said emotionlessly, "Come in."


    Sasha opened the door and cheerfully skipped into the room. When she saw Annalise wasn''t around, she asked, "Where''s Anna?"


    "She''s gone to sign autographs at the printing factory," Zane said honestly.


    Sasha grumbled, "Why didn''t you tell me sooner?"


    But Zane asked, "Would you have believed me if I did?"


    Sasha immediately shook her head and answered, "Of course not."


    Zane icily remarked, "Why bother, then?"


    Upon hearing that, Sasha thought Zane made sense, and she pouted.


    Zane asked, "What business do you have with her?"


    But Sasha didn''t want to tell Zane about it. She said, "I''ll talk to her when she returns."


    Then, Sasha walked out of the office. When she opened the door, she saw Eric outside. When Eric saw her, his eyes brightened up, too. He whispered, "Do you have any new gossip?" "Yes! I was just looking for someone to share it with," Sasha whispered.


    Eric responded, "Wait for me after work. Let''s find a nice ce to talk!"


    Eric was determined to get his hands on the freshest gossip in thepany!


    Sasha said excitedly, "Okay!"


    After confirming the ns with Sasha, Eric went into Zane''s office.


    Eric said, "You used to talk directly to me about recruits. Why didn''t you tell me about this today?"


    Zane replied, "You''re too busy."


    Not only was Eric in charge of


    Annalise''sics, but he also had plenty of misceneous work to handle. His work hours were filled with various tasks. Zane thought that since he could talk directly to the HR manager, he didn''t want to trouble Eric.


    Eric grumbled, "But it''s my job. If you do that, I''ll wonder if I was doing anything wrong."


    Zane hurriedly said reassuringly, "No, you''re doing a great job."


    Upon hearing that, Eric chuckled and said, "If that''s the case, next time, just tell me, and I''ll coordinate it. Okay?"


    Since Eric was willing to take on the responsibilities, Zane was happy to entrust it to Eric, too.


    "Sure!"


    After hearing a satisfactory reply, Eric began to report his work updates.


    "The foreign publishers havepleted their publishing procedures, but they''re thinking of publishing just one batch of books for now. They don''t have ns tounch the books for sale just yet."


    Having no prior knowledge about publishing, Zane asked curiously, "Do they have other ns?"


    Eric replied, "Yes. They''re thinking of producing a movie. When the movie is released globally, they willunch a series of merchandise. If theyunch the books at that time, the books will sell like hotcakes. But they''re asking if we''re interested in investing in the film."


    Eric thought it was a good idea. He remarked, "If the box office performs well, we''ll earn a lot from it, too."


    Zane silently pondered on it.


    After getting into this industry and receiving various intel, Eric realized it was a very profitable industry.


    Eric was left speechless. After a long time, Eric asked, "If that''s the case, instead of investing in the film, do you n to sell them the license and let them handle it themselves?"


    "But have you considered-if the box office flops..." Zane said, gazing at Eric.
