The bad-film project had reached the stage where ordinary bosses would either add money to rescue it or cut losses to protect themselves. Yang Ruoqian chose the third path. The immediate issue was clear: Yang receives a report about fierce technical debate. In his heart, this was not bravery. It was carefully packaged self-destruction.
Yang Ruoqian's calculation was direct. He celebrates the beginning of internal disintegration. 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: recording rooms, revision hours, mixing fees, and duplicated labor. 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.
