I think there is a bug with the date. It doesn’t seem to be increasing relation with Xu Yufei as intended. It seems like asking her to influence the Red Dragon Cinema buy is impossible as a result.
62 is my max and from what I can tell it is all from building relation with her prior to the date.

Whats the highest you achieved? I could only reach 56 no matter what I did.
WanaTec offered 500 million, so i offered 501 million. (I won the bidding war)

What trait did you pick for your mc?
You can offer much less than that as well and win the bidding war based on him liking you more than his other options loll. I only ended up offering 250 mil

Whats the best route to him liking you without charisma. I only have intelligence as my strength

I tried many times to get old Zhang to legitimately like me, even offered him an additional half a billion to sell RDC.. yet he always sold it someone else. Had enough and simply fed him drugs and acquired RDC for a quarter of all that.

A minor glitch:
#Close your eyes.
You close your eyes, not daring to meet her halfway, yet not wanting to pull away.
Hardcoded ‘her’ potentially resulting in Zhang Yu briefly changing into a girl. Not that i’m complaining…
also
"Listen, that @{male girl|man} is crazy. $!{he}'s been stalking me for months, so I had no choice but to play alo-"
The girl/man is swapped here, it’ll print the noun opposite to what it should.
edit: another minor continuity error:
In 2025, due to severe cashflow problems, hasn't produced any movies or tv shows, instead going through a wave of layoffs and another sale of assets.
The game is initially said to be taking place in 2024, so unless the movie company is dabbling in time travel on a side (or it’s a spoiler how our investment turns out) this is a bit of impossibility.
edit 2:
A lot of script for Red Dragon Cinema, both in Chapter 2 and 3, has the heir hard-coded as “granddaughter” which clashes with the gender-changing implementation in some other places.
edit 3:
The “networking” menu at Lina’s party should probably have options with disable_reuse since currently you can approach the same people over and over.

As far as i can tell, it depends if you’ve managed to actually make the date a good experience for her:
*if date_points > 8
//...
*gosub_scene sbr opinion "yufei" "+" date_points
*elseif date_points > 4
//...
*gosub_scene sbr opinion "yufei" "+" date_points
*goto me_giving_advice
*else
//...
So, the relationship improves if you’ve scored at least 5 points. It should also be noted that the points are added using Fairmath, meaning the actual increase is usually half of the points or even less, if your relationship is already relatively high.
edit: also, and more importantly, these changes only happen if you pick this option at the end:
#"I've had fun today, Miss Xu. Hopefully you did too."
The other two options skip directly to the end, with no points added. Whether this is intentional or a bug, it’s hard to say.

How can you do that? I didnt notice that choice
Attempting to not spend that much on the cinema sure is tough…
Is there a way to get our aunt to not be involved? Game says that if “you played along with her”, things would favor you more, but how could I play along?
Btw has someone found a good strategy? Because my romance with Lina practically forces me to spend more money just to convince that old man, among other stuff
I know that probably watching movies as a hobby helps I think? But I don’t know.
And I don’t want to do that messed up thing of intentionally incapacitating him with the help of his granddaughter, obviously it is too messed up if you don’t want your character to be a monster.
Hmm on a sidenote, the game script continues to suffer from what i can’t help but consider an oversight, when it comes to changes to relationships with characters:
*gosub_scene sbr opinion "huangxi" "+" 1
A lot of relationship changes use such minute ±1 adjustments, and as long as the game uses Fairmath these do absolutely nothing when initial relationship with character is set at 50. You can rack a literal dozen of these "+1"s and afterwards the relationship score is still 50, because that +1 is effectively +0.5 and gets discarded by the engine.
Either the opinion subroutine should be changed to affect the variable value directly without the fairmath interference, or these values should be increased to actually have impact.

You need to meet with his granddaughter, tell her that this is a business talk and then the option should be brought up
Yes, I’ll do a a patch for it in a few days (alongside other fixes). Poma doesn’t use fairmath, so I messed it up oops
You need to tell her you’re not going to fight in SFT succession

Isn’t that supposed to backfire later?
