Chapter 519: Chapter 518: South Grant’s Foresight and Magnanimity

Simply because of her personal charm.

However, Nathan Foster didn’t plan on explaining it so clearly to South Grant.

If he doesn’t know, then he doesn’t. If she could handle it calmly in the future, it would be better than knowing Caleb Holt secretly admires her, which would make her feel uneasy.

The movie should have ended by now, so they couldn’t watch it.

South Grant and Nathan Foster went home. After returning, South Grant browsed Weibo and found that the movie "Us" had received rave reviews.

Everyone was heading for the second showing.

But the cinema only scheduled two showings today. When people wanted to watch the third showing, there were no more available.

At this point, everyone booked tickets for the next day, but even then, the scheduling rate was not high. When major film companies saw that "Us" was selling well, they increased the scheduling rate.

But as the scheduling rate for "Us" increased, some films had to have their rates decreased.

The first one to bear the brunt was Rhiannon Grant’s investment, "Warfire," which had the highest scheduling rate. Although its premiere was well-received, its reputation was not good.

Generally, films with poor reputations only stay hot for a few days, after which the box office takes a nosedive.

As a result, major cinemas adjusted their scheduling and shared some of "Warfire’s" schedule with "Us."

"Us" saw an increase in box office, while "Warfire’s" box office went down.

This, of course, involved the interests of several stakeholders.

When interests are involved, things don’t end that easily.

Rhiannon Grant sat in her office, listening silently to her assistant’s report on "Warfire’s" box office over the past days.

Rhiannon Grant is a person who doesn’t show her emotions easily, so the assistant couldn’t discern her mood.

After the assistant finished, Rhiannon Grant told her:

"Leave it here, I’ll take a look later."

The assistant left, and just as Rhiannon Grant took the report in hand, someone knocked on the door, and Henry Grant walked in.

"Auntie."

"Henry, sit down." Rhiannon Grant stood up and then called for the secretary to bring coffee.

After Henry Grant sat down, he directly got to the point.

"Auntie, the major cinemas have already lowered the scheduling rate for our film. This is the first time we’re up against that kid South Grant. Are we really going to let him defeat us this way?"

At this time, Rhiannon Grant leaned back on the sofa, her left leg gently crossed over her right, exuding elegance.

"Don’t rush, it’s just a jumping clown, is it worth getting so worked up about?"

Henry Grant said angrily, "I just can’t stand his smug look."

Rhiannon Grant chuckled, "South Grant’s agent, Jackson Zane, truly is a talent. Under Quincy Irving, he was really stifled and didn’t have a platform to excel. Look at how much Jackson has helped South Grant now, so recognizing talent and appointing them appropriately is important."

Henry Grant knew about Jackson Zane, who was pushed out by Quincy Irving to take the fall back then.

Unexpectedly, Jackson Zane has now turned the tables.

Rhiannon Grant continued, "This South Grant, I knew from the start he’s not simple. Jackson Zane was pushed out to deal with Caleb Holt by Quincy Irving, but South Grant didn’t hold a grudge over this matter. Instead, he bore no grudges, used people he used to be against, and gave them important tasks. This kind of foresight and magnanimity is something you should learn from."

Henry Grant was quite displeased hearing Rhiannon Grant praise South Grant.

Rhiannon Grant smiled and patted him, "You don’t need to be upset. Learn from others to make up for your shortcomings, and you’ll make more progress. You are the successor our Grant Family is grooming, so you should surpass South Grant. South Grant is broad-minded, so you should be even more open-hearted. Look, how a talent like Jackson Zane was missed, without him, the outcome today might have been quite different."
