Super Zoo-Chapter 650 - 641 Hollywood’s Social Butterfly

```

Suming didn't know exactly what the animals led by the panda were up to, but he was quite clear about the main daily arrangements of the television delegation across the ocean.

The destination of the delegation was in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, Hollywood City. The headquarter of Disney Film Company and the filming of Animal City were carried out near Universal Studios in Hollywood City.

Headed by Cai Liming, the delegation spent every day studying the entire filming process alongside the crew from Disney Studios.

No matter how busy, Cai Liming would arrange for someone to write a work report every three days with an outline of future work plans and send it to Suming via email. Attached to these were very detailed work schedule appendices for each member of the delegation.

"In absence, military orders may not apply," is only half the saying. A general leading troops abroad can decide on strategies and tactics based on the actual situation, but must never keep secrets from the boss. As the company was spending money to send a large group of people overseas for further polishing, it only made sense for Cai Liming to keep Suming in the loop.

Suming greatly appreciated this about Cai Liming. The more Cai Liming kept him in the loop with reports and updates, the more Suming felt reassured about him.

As for whether Suming read those detailed reports or how often he did, that was Suming's business. A boss can choose not to read, but the subordinates must report.

After reading the reports a few times, Suming was rather satisfied with the delegation's work.

The elite members of Taoyuan Film Industry that went on this trip had either chosen to specialize in a particular technical skill they were interested in or proficient at, such as photography, scriptwriting, or post-production, to become technical experts; others chose a particular area where they could eventually trend towards management talent development.

Beyond their daytime work, shadowing their unofficially chosen Disney "teachers" to learn, these young people also worked hard in their spare time.

Hollywood, bordering Los Angeles, is surrounded by world-famous attractions and swarming with celebrities; it's truly a dazzling world. Yet these young people, who had graduated from school not long ago, didn't let the corporate-funded trip go to their heads or spend all their time shopping and walking the streets amidst the glittering world.

The headquarters of the eight major American film companies are all located in Hollywood, and the filming location at Universal Studios is similar to Hengdian Film and Television City in Huaxia; almost every day, around the clock, there are productions from various major companies. The young staff of Taoyuan seized every minute, every opportunity, absorbing film knowledge and skills like sponges.

It seems these young employees understood the words Suming had said to them at the airport that day.

There was only one exception.

Fairy Li Wanting.

According to the descriptions in the reports, once Li Wanting arrived in Hollywood, she quickly became a 'social butterfly.' Within a couple of days, she was familiar with everyone from Disney Studios' producers to the most basic crew members. After a week, almost everyone at the major local companies knew there was a fiery Huaxia beauty at Universal Studios.

She spent most of her time socializing, almost every night attending various parties and gatherings within the Hollywood film circle.

Suming wasn't displeased with this little fairy; on the contrary, she made a deeper impression on him.

Because the person actually responsible for the tri-daily work reports was Fairy Li Wanting herself.

In a company, which kind of person is most likely to get opportunities?

Hardworking? Talented? Good-looking? A flatterer?

All of the above, yet none of them truly.

The ones most likely to get opportunities are definitely those who leave the deepest impression on their leaders!

As for how to leave a lasting impression on a leader and gain their favor?

There are many specific methods like hard work, ability, appearance, flattery...

Snakes have snake paths, mice have mouse trails, and fairies have their own magical ways; so far, it seems, she has been very successful. She had met Suming several times and each time left a distinctly deep impression on him with different approaches. What was even more precious was she turned herself into a book that could be read for a long time, where each reading brought a deeper impression and a different feel.

Moreover, she seemed to understand Suming's 'tastes' very well and never used methods that Suming would find annoying. Occasionally, when Suming showed even a slight hint of dissatisfaction, she would instantly stop and change course.

"What a demoness," Suming chuckled.

A fairy with great potential worth cultivating, she might turn out to be a great demon who could achieve enlightenment and immortality.

A sage appears once every five hundred years; such a great demon is equally rare. Once one emerges, they inevitably stir up tempestuous changes.

Of course, there are many talented individuals, but most prodigies perish halfway.

For the time being, Fairy Li Wanting seemed to be developing smoothly and appeared to have found her stage. Whether she could successfully overcome her trials and achieve true success still depended on her destiny and luck.

Seventy percent is striving, and thirty percent is determined by fate.

Resenting others' success and brilliance is petty. A truly generous and ambitious boss is never afraid of having outstanding employees; it's mediocrity they dread.

Before Suming departed for the mountains, for the first time, he responded to the work content and plan that Cai Liming had Li Wanting compile.

Two simple sentences.

The first: Everyone has worked hard, overseas allowance doubled;

```

The second sentence: Special approval of fifty thousand US Dollars, to be used specifically for Li Wanting's personal socializing expenses, is to be overseen by Mr. Cai Liming, who will be responsible for the management. Li Wanting may directly seek advances and reimbursements from Mr. Cai;

The preceding sentence is an affirmation for everyone;

The subsequent sentence, superficially a reward for Li Wanting, doesn't give her the money directly but places it in the hands of Cai Liming. Although there is no difficulty for Li Wanting to access it, this demonstrates Suming's attitude. What he supports is the behavior of building networks in Hollywood, not because of any intimate personal relationship with Li Wanting herself. The fifty thousand US Dollars are public funds.

After sending out this email, Suming called Su Meng and made some arrangements before preparing to head to the mountains to hunt for animals.

Technology changes life, and within minutes, Cai Liming, situated in the United States, had received Suming's email approval.

The morale of the entire inspection team was quite high.

Doubling the allowance was one reason, but more so, it was the acknowledgment from the senior leadership back home.

After all, everyone has a desire to perform; no one wants to toil for the company without the leaders being aware.

This commendatory email was a clear message to everyone that the company had seen their efforts clear as day, with rewards to be expected!

As for the doubled allowance, it was actually secondary. Given their current workload, they simply didn't have time to spend the money.

At this time, the privilege of 'the general disobeys orders when not in the emperor's presence' became apparent. Old Cai took charge, arranging for everyone to have rotating days off, a whole day at a time, to let them go out and splurge!

There was just one rule: they must display Huaxia's nouveau riche style in Hollywood! As long as the items weren't extravagantly priced, if they liked something, there was just one word: buy.

No bargaining, no trying without buying, no skimping on the purchase!

If they ran out of money, they were to take a portion from the public funds allocated for this trip to subsidize it.

Most people thought Mr. Cai was joking, a way to commend the group for their hard work lately.

Only Li Wanting knew that Mr. Cai spoke with equal parts truth and jest.

What is the quickest way for Hollywood to learn about a 'Taoyuan Film Industry' from Huaxia? A bunch of little tycoons making bulk purchases between filming sessions is undoubtedly the most efficient method, though it might not leave the best impression, it's undeniably effective.

Besides, not all the celebrities in Hollywood are as classy as imagined; many with no class, ostentatious wealth, proud to squander, and ashamed of frugality abound.

That very day, Li Wanting applied for fifteen thousand US Dollars and spent it at a high-end boutique on Sunset Boulevard.

A pair of teardrop diamond earrings, a figure-hugging evening gown, a pair of Gianmarco Lorenzi silk satin high heels.

Just the shoes alone cost her six thousand two hundred US Dollars.

With Suming's understanding, the fairy in the mirror, Li Wanting, was starting to acquire an international flair.

"Beautiful lady, you will be the most dazzling Eastern diamond at tonight's party!"

The invitation for Li Wanting to attend tonight's party came from Peter Jackson, a famous Hollywood director known for making his mark with the low-budget horror film 'Zombies Cross the Line' and achieving success with the 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy.

Jackson, who had recently been shooting a movie at Universal Studios, met Li Wanting that morning and, in less than five hours, was deeply captivated by this lady from the East, inviting her to tonight's party hosted by the legendary Hollywood producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Jerry Bruckheimer, in a Beverly Hills private mansion.

Upon seeing Li Wanting walk out of the fitting room, Big Beard Peter Jackson's eyes lit up like two electrified bulbs.

Well, isn't every woman vain but vanity isn't a sickness, as long as it's kept within bounds, it's rather a nice pleasure of life. Despite receiving countless compliments since arriving in Hollywood, Li Wanting couldn't help feeling a bit proud to bewitch a superstar director like Jackson.

Along with pride was a hint of indignation; even a world-class director acted this way, yet she had repeatedly hit snags before a 'minor boss' of a Chinese film company.

This Suming, who neither had particularly much money nor name recognition, at least not here in Hollywood where there were many far wealthier and more famous people!

Yet, why did it seem like she was helplessly at his mercy?

It was like seeing a ghost!

A thought flashed through her mind, but her brain did not linger, and she chuckled, covering her mouth, "Mr. Spencer, that comment seems slightly politically incorrect, doesn't it?"

Jackson, who's usually unsmiling in the presence of big-name directors, was stunned.

It took him a full ten seconds or more to catch his breath before he hastily said, "Haha, to tell the truth, even compared to the Western actresses I know, you still shine the brightest. I'm terribly sorry, I absolutely did not mean any racial discrimination. Please forgive my slip of the tongue."

"I'm glad you think so," Li Wanting shrugged. "Too bad, it seems your staff think we from Taoyuan Film Industry are interfering with their work, preventing us from getting close to your movie set."

"Haha, that must be a misunderstanding, mistaking them for ordinary tourists. I personally welcome all peers to come and exchange knowledge. Tomorrow I will tell the crew not to block our Eastern colleagues from visiting the shooting location anymore." Jackson, ever so graciously, opened the car door for Li Wanting.
