By the time the morning meeting began, Yang Ruoqian had already opened the same file six times. Each time, the conclusion remained offensive: the system panel added a cinema operation tag after the film's long-tail influence rose. If a project could no longer fail cleanly after losing money, what dignity did a loser have left?
Yang Ruoqian's private calculation was still very professional. The plan around the System Adds A Cinema Tag matter had receipts, workflow, and enough normal business logic to pass the system's eyes. Better yet, the costs were concrete: rent, renovation, old equipment, staff shifts, safety repairs, low-margin tickets, and an ancient lobby that could eat money politely. A normal boss would ask how to convert those costs into growth. Yang only cared whether the brick-and-mortar weight could keep swallowing money without producing a number large enough to punish him.
