Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick nodded upon hearing these words. He was well aware that the company’s future prospects were not looking good. Every program group and other television stations were all taking a wait-and-see approach, hesitant to make any rash moves.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Given the current policy climate, they could very well become targets. Their strategy was to weather the storm quietly, to smoothly transition through this period of uncertainty.

Television stations and some entertainment programs could afford to do this by showcasing alternative content until the storm passed. However, for the entertainment company, it was a different story. There were mouths to feed within the company, and operational costs were high.

If the company failed to generate profits or couldn’t find a way to make it all work, it would likely impact the company’s stock and other assets.

Patrick knew this delay was taking him away from personal matters. He could have spent time with his child or been home early to tend to Jane. Why sit here and brainstorm with everyone else?

“I came up with a plan that I discussed with several program directors. They found it feasible, so I will share it now.”

As Patrick spoke, everyone listened eagerly, curious about the solution he had in mind. They hadn’t figured out a clear path forward before this moment.

Now that Patrick had a plan, they were willing to accept it. They understood it was the boss’s decision, and they needed to align with it.

Of course, if they identified any issues, they would voice their concerns actively. After all, the company’s success would determine if they could stay employed. If the company faced problems, they would have to consider moving on.

“My idea is that since entertainment programs have strict requirements, we can find a way to fit in. Drawing on past experiences, we can involve our talent in various programs to increase their visibility. Being featured as guests on multiple episodes will suffice.”

Patrick made it clear that this approach would enhance the artists’ exposure, workload, and the company’s revenue.

However, this working method posed a challenge for the artists. Each fragmented moment on screen had to align with the program’s theme and showcase their abilities.

This demanded a high level of performance from the artists and a coordinated effort from the marketing department to align with the diverse entertainment landscape.

In the past, the marketing department prioritized a program’s reputation, subsequently making adjustments. Now, in the face of changing circumstances, Patrick had new requirements for them.

“We need everyone to embrace hard work and adapt quickly to diverse programs. The marketing department must work harder to evaluate a program’s reputation and determine which episodes suit our artists.”

Patrick understood the increased pressure on every level of the department. They had no time to dwell on past decisions; everything had to be realigned for the future. This New Year might be challenging for them all.

Patrick aimed to ensure the company kept running smoothly and encouraged his employees. Given the current situation, some employees might have concerns.

“Let’s face these challenges together. Once we overcome them, our future will be bright. I believe our company can weather this storm.”

“I don’t want anything to make us feel inferior to other companies. Rather, I hope that in these difficult times, we can emerge as leaders in our industry.”

Patrick’s words of encouragement resonated with everyone. When it was time to delve into specifics, Patrick explained his short-term plan, and everyone understood.

He urged them to follow the plan and consult with him if any issues arose.

“Alright, everyone can disperse now. I will be in the office often these days. I need to check on Jane’s situation.”

Others understood Jane’s condition required rest, allowing them to empathize with Patrick’s situation. After all, they were all part of the management team.

Unlike those in the artist department who focused solely on fan engagement, they had a broader perspective.

Patrick balanced his time between work and home, ensuring everything was taken care of. Although Jane asked him questions, Patrick evaded the truth, not revealing the full extent of the challenges they faced.

These unresolved issues loomed in the background, especially as more problems arose in the following days. Patrick sat in his office, observing his assistant.

“Many artists faced disciplinary action due to misconduct and other issues. This should serve as a wake-up call for us. We must conduct internal reviews and ensure our artists behave appropriately.”

The assistant nodded and informed Patrick that the issue had been addressed. With Patrick’s presence, he could now officially distribute directives.

“In terms of artistic integrity, this issue is a focal point and a policy guideline. We must strictly enforce these standards for our artists.”

“We must navigate through this phase. Although the circumstances are unfavorable, we cannot give up on ourselves.”
