After he had a few moments to think it over, Jeremy cleared his throat and said, "Well... First of all, thank you for this kind gesture, Mr. Gerry. I really appreciate it. I didn't expect that you will specifically pick my company's project to be your comeback piece."

Jeremy was thinking about how to politely refuse Austin, but the Latter took his silence to mean that he was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Austin waved his hand and said, “There is no need to thank me. I'll be happy to take over the position of chief director, but... I do have a few conditions."

Then, he mysteriously paused, allowing Patricia to speak on his behalf.

“First, since Mr. Gerry has been in the industry much longer than Mr. Jackson, his salary should be higher. The demand is double pay. Of course, Mr. Gerry doesn't really care about the money. But as a big shot in the film industry, he needs to take into consideration his reputation and image as well. Second, as a well-known domestic director, Mr. Gerry has his own professional team. He certainly doesn't need the staff that Mr. Jackson appointed. Therefore, we'll have to let go of some of the crew members, including the script supervisor, Maria Jenkins. And that brings us to our third point. Maria has taken over as acting chief director and is currently in charge of shooting. But she knows nothing about directing. What kind of scenes could she have shot? Therefore, it is Mr. Gerry's wish that when the Legend of Anne is broadcasted in the future, Maria's name won't appear in the credits."

Afraid that she hadn't made it clear enough, Patricia solemnly continued, word by word, "Yeez Entertainment must officially announce that Mr. Gerry is the only director of the Legend of Anne."

While listening to Patricia's long speech, Jeremy's expression changed several times.

There was a flicker of shock, incredulity, and even anger, before his face finally returned to a calm stillness.

Patricia, oblivious to Jeremy's reactions, maintained an elegant smile and added, "Mr. Bradley, as long as you're willing to meet these three little conditions, I will express my congratulations to you. After all, you will be signing a top domestic director... Eh?"

Before Patricia could finish her words, Jeremy abruptly got up from the sofa and went back to his desk to sit on his executive chair.

He even casually kicked off his shoes and propped his feet up on the office desk.

In contrast to his polite and gentle demeanor earlier, he now looked rude and aggressive.

As if there was no one else in the office, he took out his phone and spoke loudly.

“Hey, Leo! Has the takeout been delivered? I'm fucking starving!" he shouted.

It was a call to one of his assistants.

Watching this, both Austin and Patricia felt that something was wrong. Why had Jeremy's attitude changed so much?

“Ahem

Patricia cleared her throat loudly to reestablish their presence. Glancing at the clock, she found that it was almost time for Lunch.

In fact, she had specially chosen to visit Jeremy at noon, because she wanted him to treat her and Austin to a meal.

But hearing Jeremy ask his assistant for takeout, her heart sank. The president of a famous entertainment company wouldn't treat his prestigious guests Like this, would he?
