Huang Wei had slept badly again. The authority Yang Ruoqian gave him did not feel like a promotion; it felt like being handed a burning studio key and told to smile. The immediate issue was clear: Yang approves redoing music from scratch. Unfortunately, everyone around him believed this burning key was General Manager Yang's highest trust.
Yang Ruoqian's calculation was direct. He sees duplicate cost as a perfect waste. The whole path was normal company behavior, and every item had a receipt. There was no deliberate sabotage, no forbidden transfer, and no sentence the system could underline in red.
Better still, the visible cost structure was beautiful: salaries, rehiring packages, studio rent, and equipment depreciation. Those words looked ugly to ordinary bosses, but to Yang Ruoqian they were almost warm. As long as the money was spent on real operations and the project remained unpopular, the system settlement would finally stop looking like a joke at his expense.
