Chapter 348 Emotion
For the next period of time, Gundam SEED continued to broadcast.

Except for some particularly important business of the company, Su Yan would come forward to handle it, and was basically in a relaxed state.

He made a list of tourist attractions, delicious food, some shrines in the Tokyo area, and places he had wanted to visit a few years ago but didn’t have the time to go, and started checking them in one by one.

And during this process, Su Yan also began to invite Shinozaki Yumi to join him intentionally or unintentionally.

The current job at the Dimension Film and Television Company is very certain, and Su Yan has already arranged it until the year after next. It would be great if Shinozaki Ikumi was there, but even without her and Su Yan, the talents he had recruited at great expense were enough to solve most problems.

No one is born a slave, and no one is born a workaholic.

Just because Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi were able to find fun in their work and continue working in the past doesn’t mean they can’t find fun in this leisurely life of the rich.

After leaving work, Su Yan always likes to drag Shinozaki Yumi along with him in everything he does, which can be understood as socializing among friends.

But Shinozaki Ikumi, who had a lot of mixed thoughts in her mind, felt more and more strange.

“You’re not pursuing me, are you?” one day when she finally mustered up the courage to ask.

“No way. I’m just traveling alone and looking for a companion.” Su Yan laughed cheerfully.

After hearing Su Yan’s words, Shinozaki Ikumi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost in her heart. Then Su Yan’s next words made her eyes widen.

“But since you asked me this, I’m a little curious. What if I’m really like you think?”

The atmosphere became a little solemn, but Su Yan didn’t dwell too much on this topic.

But from that day on.

Shinozaki Yumi no longer mentioned the matters of Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and Zhuang Yuxin in front of Su Yan.

Even in the group where they exchange information with their best friends, they don’t share any news about Su Yan.

And she also started to change her style of dressing in front of Su Yan.

After so many years, of course she knew Su Yan’s preferences.

Long hair, black stockings, big breasts.

This is true in all of Su Yan’s film and television dramas. As long as the conditions are met and it fits the type of drama, whether it is the heroine or the supporting actress, Su Yan will try her best to lean towards this aspect.

Time came to the end of August.

The journey of bell sprouts was also released as scheduled.

Summer country audiences have seen many works in the style of Makoto Shinkai. As soon as the release of Bell Bud’s Journey, a large number of fans said that it tasted just right, and it still had the familiar scenery and movie style.

Moreover, in Bell Bud’s Journey, Su Yan also changed some details of the original script and incorporated some plots from the novel. For example, the inexplicable falling out between the heroine and her aunt in the later plot, and some foreshadowing had to be added in the early stage, otherwise it would be too sudden.

There is also the inexplicable relationship between the heroine and the hero. It’s no problem for them to fight to the death for each other even though they have only known each other for a short time.

But the heroine’s classic line, “I’m so scared of a world without Mr. Souta that I’d just delete it!”.

You can say that she risked her life to save the crowd, but the heroine and the hero had only known each other for a few days, and in a large part of the plot, the hero was just a stool. If he really died, what would the heroine be afraid of? Even if they fell in love at first sight, they wouldn’t fall in love to this extent.

These are the main plot complaints from fans of The Journey of Suzuya in Their Previous Life after watching the movie.

How could Su Yan make the same mistake in Xia Country? Therefore, after the release of “The Journey of Bell Buds” in Xia Country, the word of mouth was indeed not as good as “Five Seconds” and “Your Name”. The box office of 3.6 million on the first day was not amazing compared with Su Yan’s other movies.

But at least there were no large-scale complaints.

If you give your name 100 points, at least “The Journey of Bell Buds” would get 80 points among the movie fans in Xiaguo.

Of course, on the second day after the release of “Suzuya’s Journey”, Su Yan also specially made an appointment with Shinozaki Yumi to go to the cinema to watch the premiere of the movie.

It is said that they can examine the audience’s first impression of the movie offline, which can be regarded as market research for the company’s future film production.

But really, it’s just a date.

Su Yan was aware of this, and this was even more true for Shinozaki Ikumi.

She was dressed up that day, wearing expensive clothes with a black miniskirt, her hair draped over her shoulders, her oval face with makeup was exquisite as a painting, her skin was fair and delicate, her smile was bright and charming, and she was generous and beautiful.

Su Yan could tell at a glance that Shinozaki Ikumi must have directly asked the chief makeup artist of the company’s makeup team to go out and do her makeup, and even her clothes were chosen for her by someone else.

Ikumi Shinozaki usually only wears professional makeup, and she has never been seen wearing this style of makeup before.

“How is it? Not bad.” Shinozaki Yumi smiled at Su Yan, her tone calm, but there was still a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

“Very beautiful.” Su Yan didn’t waste any words.

Of course Su Yan wore a mask the whole time. As for Shinozaki Ikumi, although she is beautiful, as a producer, she is not well-known among Su Yan’s fans. More fans are supporting Su Yan and Shen Liqian and others.

That night, Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi simply watched a movie, and then without any other dates, they went home separately.

But as the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.

After the first date, the relationship between Su Yan and her progressed much faster.

Both of them understood what the other meant, but the time was not right yet.

As for Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, and Zhuang Yuxin, no matter how slow they were, they could still discover something from the ambiguous attitude between Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi.

The three of them were in a bad mood and felt a little lost for two days, but they quickly adjusted their mood.

Ikumi Shinozaki just doesn’t act in any movies, but in terms of appearance, she is not inferior to them at all. As one of the people who has the closest relationship with Su Yan, it is normal for Su Yan and Ikumi Shinozaki to fall in love with each other over time.

It’s okay to feel lost and it’s okay to have a secret crush broken, but you must never dwell on it for too long.

So after a few days, the trio’s spirits revived. Since the thing could not be done, they decided to help their friends.

At this point, the three close friends of Shinozaki Yumi began to change their minds and started to offer suggestions for the development of the relationship between Shinozaki Yumi and Su Yan.

And at this time.
The summer vacation is over.

The autumn season is coming.

The first season of Gundam SEED has ended, and the second season will be aired in January after a three-month interval.

At this point, all of Dimension Films’ works this year have been broadcast.

The company’s full year, excluding the fourth quarter, includes TV series such as FSN, Code Geass, Rurouni Kenshin, Howl’s Moving Castle, Gundam SEED, and Bell Bud’s Journey, as well as the copyright of derivative products of Su Yan’s works in the past few years, and the revenue from the peripheral games produced.
The annual net profit was 81 billion Xiaguo yuan.

Compared to last year, it has almost doubled.

Dimension Film and Television Company is not a listed company, so this financial report does not need to be announced, but there are some capable peers in the Xia country’s film and television industry who know this information.

After the relevant information was disclosed, the global film and television industry was in an uproar.

The Xia Kingdom does not have a global film and television faction company like Su Yan’s Hollywood in his previous life.

In the past life, many major Hollywood film and television companies had annual revenues of hundreds of billions of dollars, and profits of several billion dollars. However, in the Xia Kingdom dimension, the market scope of most film and television companies has been greatly reduced. The revenue of the Dimension Film and Television Company is not outrageous, but 81 billion is profit!

In early October, Su Yan made headlines in a number of film and television media around the world.

This 29-year-old young man created such a film and television company in less than ten years. What if he was given another twenty or thirty years?
Even Su Yan’s most vehement hater had to admit that the prototype of a film and television entertainment empire had already emerged in the Dimension Film and Television Company.

The autumn season is over and the winter season is coming.

The second season of Gundam SEED was aired on time. The opening rating was 7.42%, which was as usual far above the market average.

But the market for Gundam peripherals has exploded so far!

Many first-run limited edition figures and mecha models began to be sold on the market at a ten-fold premium.

All the mecha models that appear in the Gundam series, even the rubbish standard-issue government army mecha, can attract a large number of Gundam fans to line up outside nearby stores to buy them.

Many TV drama fans in Xiaguo are not very enthusiastic about the surrounding products after watching the works.

But just that group of global middle-class fans who have a little financial ability and a collecting habit are enough to make Gundam peripherals a blue ocean market in the global cultural and entertainment industry.

This is just the beginning.

When it was January and the weather turned cold, Su Yan, who had been a half-hands-off boss since July, gradually returned to the company.

It’s okay to not take care of the company for half a year, but it will definitely not work for a long time.

It’s not that the company won’t be able to operate without Su Yan.

However, the company’s middle and senior management are disloyal and are using Su Yan’s company’s power to make some strange deals and embezzle the filming funds. This kind of thing is about to happen on a large scale.

Su Yan is not a fool. He has worked in this industry for so many years. The financial reports, fund usage and expenditures submitted by his subordinates seem to be fine on the surface, but when he looks into it in depth, he finds numerous mistakes and omissions.

Especially for a company like Dimension Films, which has an annual revenue of tens of billions and profits of tens of billions, if you are not careful, some of its subordinates will make a fortune, and the birth of these parasites will undermine the enthusiasm of grassroots employees.

Su Yan couldn’t stand these parasites at work in his previous life, so of course he cracked down on them severely when he started his own company in this life.

Anyone found out will be severely punished.

Some companies are also concerned about whether firing some middle and senior managers will result in talent loss, as these people may run away to competing companies and become their biggest enemies, or take the company’s clients away, so they dare not act rashly.

But Dimension Films is very simple.

The core of the company is Su Yan, and the only valuable thing about the company is the copyright of the scripts and works provided by Su Yan.

It is true that no one in the company can be replaced except Su Yan. Anyone can be replaced. Even if all employees are fired, within a year or two, Su Yan will be able to reorganize another top film, television and entertainment production company in the industry with the funds at hand.

After half a year, Su Yan purged a bunch of middle and senior management as soon as he returned, which shocked all the employees of Dimension Film and Television Company.

Our boss is usually quite gentle, but if you touch his bottom line, he will be even more ruthless than Vice Chairman Ikumi Shinozaki!
After returning to the company, Su Yan focused part of his energy on the production of Naruto and One Piece, and the other part of his energy was to start thinking about when to make things clear to Shinozaki Yumi. They are adults now and no longer in school, so there is no need to complicate a relationship.

Shinozaki Ikumi has not shown any intention of staying away from Su Yan so far, so her attitude is actually quite clear.

However, Su Yan was still thinking about what gift to buy for her and what opportunity to find to give her a surprise and confess his feelings to her.

“Su Yan, come with me to my house during the Chinese New Year this year.”

At the end of January, Shinozaki Ikumi came to Su Yan’s office and spoke to Su Yan in a somewhat awkward tone.

“Huh?” Su Yan was stunned.

“Every year when I go home, I am urged to get married and go on blind dates by my mother. This year…you come with me to my house, and my mother will…” When she said this, Shinozaki Ikumi’s ears turned red instantly.

“You go as a boyfriend. Do you agree?”

Without expressing consent or not, Shinozaki Ikumi directly gave Su Yan a more bombshell choice: meeting his parents.

Agreeing to meet the parents means agreeing to date, otherwise there is no chance.

“Okay.” Su Yan thought for less than ten seconds and then responded.

“You agree?”

“Okay, I agree.” Su Yan said with a smile.

In early February, after finishing a lot of work at the company, distributing year-end bonuses to employees and holding the company’s annual meeting, Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi were both drunk. At Su Yan’s request, the two were taken to Su Yan’s villa by the driver.

Of course, even though they were a couple and had developed to the stage of holding hands, they still slept in two separate rooms.

However, when she got up the next day and washed up, Shinozaki Ikumi, with wet hair, looked at the clothes she was wearing.

Those were the changes of clothes that Su Yan had asked the driver to run to the mall to buy overnight while she was sleeping. Because he really helped Su Yan a lot last night, the driver was rewarded with double the year-end bonus.

“Ah! It’s my first time to stay overnight at Su Yan’s house, and I got drunk, that’s it?” Shinozaki Ikumi looked a little confused, a little funny, but also a little relieved and calm.

The third day after the year-end holiday is the Spring Festival.

Su Yan specially hired a makeup artist to spend several hours designing his look. He changed into a white brand-name suit, and a handsome, cheerful young man walked out of the villa gate.

Although Su Yan is nearly thirty years old, he still looks like a twenty-year-old.

According to the address given by Shinozaki Yumi, they arrived at a villa area. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman whose age had been ravaged by the years, but she still looked as beautiful as she was when she was young.

Ikumi Shinozaki’s mother, Aki Shinozaki.

As Shinozaki Ikumi’s partner, Su Yan has met her no less than twenty times.

But this time, he came as Shinozaki Ikumi’s boyfriend.

Shinozaki Aki’s expression was stunned, and there was a hint of disbelief in her tone.

“Chairman Susu?”

My daughter said the day before yesterday that her boyfriend would come to visit before the New Year’s Eve dinner today and asked her not to urge her to get married this year.

Shinozaki Aki cooked a table of her specialty dishes with half belief and half doubt.

But the person who came to visit was Su Yan?

“Auntie, just call me Su Yan.” Su Yan said with a smile.

“coming?”

It was snowing heavily in Tokyo, but at home, where Ikumi Shinozaki had a heater, she was still wearing cool summer clothes.

She was wearing a thin black T-shirt and straight white calves under the denim shorts. Her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as a baby’s. Her face seemed to have a slight blush due to the temperature in the room. She quickly walked to the door, put her arms around Su Yan’s arm, and then closed the door.

“Mom, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Su Yan.” Shinozaki Ikumi said with a smile.

“You guys, spend more time together.” The surprise on Shinozaki Aki’s expression disappeared, and was replaced by joy.

She was afraid that her daughter would become single at an older age like those successful women.

In Xia Country, boys who are as good-looking, as wealthy, as capable, and as positive in character and outlook as Shinozaki Ikumi are not rare, but their number is definitely less than the giant pandas in the zoo.

And among them, Su Yan is definitely one of them.

It’s not that Shinozaki Aki hasn’t fantasized about her daughter and Su Yan, but considering Su Yan’s achievements and the beautiful and seemingly gentle female stars around him, she gave up.

“It’s been three years,” said Shinozaki Ikumi without changing her expression.

“That’s why I told you guys before, don’t worry about my marriage.”

Three years is only three weeks, right?
Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Ikumi beside him.
