Chapter 1269 Am I Just Your Money-Making Tool?
These investors are all people who suddenly got rich. They have a lot of money and love to invite celebrities over for drinks.
But a film needs investment. Without investment, it can't get started.
Technically, Penelope doesn't need to deal with these people.
In the past, at banquets and fashion dinners, some big shots would come over to take photos with her, and Penelope could refuse.
However, she did it for Finnian.
She did it to expand Finnian's network.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
These bosses had drunk enough and left with their female companions.
Someone said something to her, but Penelope couldn't hear clearly.
She just stared blankly ahead.
Watching as the people at the table slowly left.
Watching the bottles in front of her topple over.
Penelope picked up a bottle, opened it, and took a few big gulps.
At this moment, it was just her and the alcohol.
She asked herself several times if it was worth it.
But several times, she still chose to help Finnian.
It was Finnian who made her famous, who gave her resources.
And after Penelope became famous, she helped Finnian build many connections.
For every TV show Penelope was in, she would build good relationships with the investors, helping Finnian turn these investors into potential connections.
She was young and naive when she entered the entertainment industry.
Now, she was still young, but her heart had aged a lot.
After drinking half a bottle, Penelope stood up and staggered out.
She put on her sunglasses, picked up her phone, and called Finnian.
On the other end, Finnian asked, "Thank you, Penelope. Those executives were very satisfied. You're a big star, and being able to drink with them means the investment will be secured soon. Just focus on filming 'My Heart, Bright Moon.' Don't worry about the rest. I'll have your agent screen your future projects."
Penelope's voice was hoarse, "Finnian, I want to take a break. I'm tired. After this film, I want to take a vacation."
"Penelope, did you drink too much tonight and get confused? You're at the peak of your career. How can you take a break?"
Penelope smiled faintly, somewhat self-mockingly, "Why can't I, Finnian? Am I just your money-making tool? Do I really have no place in your heart?"
"Penelope, how can you think that? I'm also working hard on my career. You know how tough it is for me right now. Even though I'm the CEO of Dynamic Entertainment, my position isn't as secure as Heather's. Heather has Natalie backing her. With one word from Natalie, I could be kicked out of Dynamic Entertainment. I need to build my own power base. Penelope, don't you want to be with me?"
Penelope's throat was dry, "Of course I want to help you, but why are you so sure that Natalie will kick you out? You're the CEO of Dynamic Entertainment because Natalie supported you. Maybe she wants to give you more responsibilities. And Heather, she hasn't threatened your position. She's very capable, but Dynamic Entertainment is still under your control. She hasn't refused any projects you've assigned her."
"Penelope, don't you trust me?"
"Finnian, you know that's not what I mean." Penelope didn't know how to explain to Finnian.
She felt Finnian was too paranoid. Even though things were going well at Dynamic Entertainment, he had a persecution complex, thinking Natalie would kick him out and support Heather.
During the week she spent filming with Natalie, she realized that Natalie was calm, carefree, gentle, and loved freedom.
She didn't like to interfere too much in Dynamic Entertainment's affairs. It was just that Finnian was overthinking things.
