The big shot is trending on social media every day.

The car was quiet for a few seconds.

Bai Zhi spoke again, "Ajiu's bad mood is also affecting her condition." She narrowed her eyes, "If she is unwilling to accept this, then help her vent her anger, but I don't want to see your foolish behavior today again."

This means letting them deal with Jiang Li, with her backing them up.

Lu Ke nodded. "I understand."

Now it's going to be interesting to see Jiang Li.

……

The Feng family.

The living room on the first floor was large and quiet. Several people sat on the sofa, the silence eerily profound.

Feng Yi suddenly stood up, picked up the Qin family letter from the coffee table, tore it to shreds in a few quick movements, and threw it into the trash can.

Then she turned to look at Grandpa Feng, "Grandpa, you wouldn't be like those people, seeking profit and avoiding harm, would you?"

The others watched this scene and remained silent when they saw that the old man had not made a statement.

Feng Hong glared at Feng Yi and scolded, "No respect for elders! How can you talk to your grandfather like that!"

Feng Yi lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I just think the Qin family has gone too far, bullying Sister Jiang Li like this. If we, like the other families, are afraid of the Qin family's warnings, then Sister Jiang Li will really be left all alone."

Feng Yi is the little princess cherished by the Feng family, but she is not a naive and innocent girl who doesn't know the ways of the world.

Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, the Feng family treats them equally in education.

Feng Yi had learned a great deal about the struggle for power and profit.

Grandma Feng looked at her with gentle and loving eyes, "Can you tell Grandma why you like Jiang Li so much?"

Feng Yi said, "Sister Jiang is a very nice person, and she's also very beautiful."

Madam Feng thought she could say something else, or offer a professional analysis of the current situation. After waiting for several seconds without hearing anything else, she asked, "That's all?"

Feng Yi stammered and couldn't say anything else, so she simply asked, "Grandma, you've met Sister Jiang Li, don't you like her?"

Madam Feng recalled her initial impression of Jiang Li when she first met him.

Very beautiful, an absolute stunner.

All the young ladies from prominent families in the entire northern city combined couldn't match Jiang Li's looks and temperament.

Those fox-like eyes were cool and indifferent, and their brows and eyes carried a resilience and aloofness that had seen many changes in the world, like an iceberg rose, proud and cold.

His clothes were simple and unadorned, yet his air of nobility was undeniable.

Ginger is not something that can be found in a pond.

First impressions are a magical thing; you either like it or you don't.

This statement is even more vividly demonstrated in Feng Yi's case.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Feng Yi knew that the Feng family would not disregard the overall interests of the family because of her insignificant hobby.

She retorted in a defiant manner, "Anyway, the people I like are all good, and the people I don't like are all bad people."

Never mind, her eyes are her ruler!

Feng Yi didn't want to see her family ultimately abandon Jiang Li after weighing the pros and cons, so she turned to go upstairs to rest.

But her grandmother stopped her.

Madam Feng chuckled and coaxed, "Don't be angry, Grandma didn't say she didn't like Jiang Li."

Feng Yi remained silent.

Madam Feng patted her hand and looked at Grandpa Feng, "Our Yiyi has always had good taste. Since she has chosen Jiang Li, we will listen to her this time."

When Feng Yi saw that her grandfather was also smiling and nodding, she was shocked and her eyes widened. Her expression was complicated. "...No, Grandpa, why don't you reconsider?"

She was afraid that if something happened, she would become a major sinner in the Feng family...

Even if she disliked the Qin family and the two Bai sisters, she had to admit that the Medical Alliance and the Gray Building were not something the Feng family could afford to offend.

Power shifts and families rise and fall; sometimes, choice is far more important than ability.

Feng Hong certainly didn't believe that his parents would listen to Feng Yi on such a major matter concerning the future and development of the Feng family.

Feng Hong suddenly thought of his deceased sister, who was a victim of the family's interests.

At the time, the parents chose to let the matter rest, but they have regretted it ever since.

On such an important day as his father's 79th birthday banquet, his nephew did not show up.

Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng exchanged a glance.

Suddenly I remembered that when Feng Yi was born, an old Taoist doctor said, "This little girl has excellent judgment. When the Feng family is in doubt, she can be the one to make the choice."

……

The next day, Jiang Li woke up around nine o'clock.

They transferred all the money from selling the jewelry out of the company.

A video call invitation suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of my computer screen.

The call connected, and Qiao Zhen's face appeared in the center of the screen. "Why are there so many this time?"

Three hundred million US dollars.

"Is it too much?" Jiang Li leaned back in the sofa, her posture lazy yet elegant, and smiled, the corners of her mouth curving with contempt and arrogance: "My life deserves more."

Qiao Zhen thought of the bounty on Jiang Li on the dark web and laughed, "Then you'd better live a long and healthy life. So many people are worried about you and can't get a good night's sleep."

Jiang raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, right, there's something else." Qiao Zhen remembered something and said, "The Qin family has sent secret letters to several major wealthy and powerful families in Beicheng."

Qiao Zhen told Jiang Li the contents of the secret letter.

Then, incredulously, he said, "I don't know what got into that old man from the Qin family, he's trying to trip you up. Does he even know who you are?"

Jiang Li has a special identity; many people want her dead, and even more people fear her.

To avoid trouble, one must remain anonymous.

But who would have thought that this person, regardless of their identity or industry, would be a top influencer?

Jiang Li laughed sarcastically, "I really can't keep a low profile anywhere; I'm just born to be fiery."

"Yeah, Li Ye is awesome," Qiao Zhen joked, then added, "But now, apart from the Feng family who are always on your side, the Qin, Wen, and Xie families, along with the families that depend on them, will probably all try to suppress you. What do you plan to do?"

Jiang Li's fox-like eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a bloodthirsty smile. "North City has been peaceful for so many years, everyone must be quite bored, right? Let's have some fun together." Qiao Zhen: "..."

When Jiang Li said something like that last time, many people were reborn into the next life.

The Qin family is really something.

The Feng family still has many clever people.

Some people make the right choices and go further and further, achieving great success in their future.

Some people go further and further astray by making the wrong choices, and all their hard work is in vain.

"I'm hanging up now, that's all," Jiang Li said. She had to go to the company today.

Tianyao invited a very good teacher from the Beijing Film Academy to teach a dialogue class today.

Qiao Zhen said, "Okay."

……

Today, Tianyao finally got a chance to have a dialogue lesson with a very talented acting teacher from the Beijing Film Academy.

This acting teacher is not only difficult to hire because of his full schedule, but he is also very expensive.

Almost all the child actors in the company came.

Jiang Li also came to class.

But half an hour had passed since the agreed time, and the performance teacher still hadn't arrived.

The company's artists sat in the conference room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Don't know what happened.

Gao Zheng had a premonition, glanced at his father sitting on the sofa, and said nothing.

……

Beijing Film Academy.

Yang Jingmo is here today to attend a film seminar.

Afterwards, I ran into Xie Zhongzhe in the elevator.

"Teacher Xie," Yang Jingmo said, somewhat surprised, "Weren't you supposed to be at Tianyao for a dialogue class today?"

To boost their popularity, teachers in the acting department of the Imperial Film Academy often make their courses publicly available.

Xie Zhongzhe smiled and changed the subject, "Jingmo, long time no see. I haven't congratulated you on winning the grand prize yet."

Yang Jingmo's eyes flickered. "Thank you."

She didn't ask any more questions.

The elevator fell silent.

All I could hear was the phone constantly buzzing and vibrating.

Upon reaching the first floor, Yang Jingmo nodded slightly in greeting, "Goodbye, Teacher Xie."

Xie Zhongzhe said, "Jingmo, I have some connections with your mentor, so I'll give you a few words of advice: stay away from that minor celebrity, and quit acting in low-quality web dramas like 'Like a Dream' as soon as possible."

Yang Jingmo remained polite and spoke calmly, "Teacher Xie, 'Like a Dream' is not a small web series. The script is very solid, and it's a big-budget production by JQ Pictures. The crew members have also put in a lot of effort. I hope you won't say such things again. Goodbye."

After saying that, Yang Jingmo turned and left.

Xie Zhongzhe watched her stubborn back as she walked away and sneered.

He shook his head and said in a condescending tone, "As the saying goes, 'Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences.' I'm being nice to you young people so you can avoid making mistakes. You don't know what's good for you."

"Teacher, Tianyao's people keep making phone calls." Xie Zhongzhe's student followed behind him.

"Never mind." Xie Zhongzhe curled his lips into a sneer. "Remember, don't mess with people you can't afford to offend, or you'll end up in a very bad situation."

The student smiled and nodded obediently, "Understood, teacher."

Xie Zhongzhe was finally satisfied. "The results of the qualification review for the international film exchange in Zhongzhou should be out today. You come with me to the principal's office to get the invitation letter in a bit."

The student nodded excitedly, "Thank you, teacher."

Xie Zhongzhe agreed to take him along.

After Zhongzhou, their fame will reach new heights.

……

Tianyao's side.

The secretary held her phone, having already made over a dozen calls, but no one answered.

She looked at Gao Zheng, "Mr. Gao, we can't get in touch with Teacher Xie."

If you're not coming, you can simply refuse them; you just need to let them know. What's the point of leaving them hanging?

Gao Zheng glanced at his father on the sofa again, then waved to his secretary, "You can go out now."

"Yes."

The office door closed.

Cheng Sijun spoke up, "Your surname is Xie, understand now?"

They were of low status, and the news of the Qin family's secret letter only reached them this morning.

Gao Zheng understood.

Even a higher-ranking official can crush a person, let alone a secret letter from the Qin family.

Naturally, some people began to curry favor with the Qin family and make things difficult for Jiang Li.

Even when oppressed, these ordinary people can only swallow their pride and suffer in silence.

Jiang Li tapped the sofa armrest with his finger, then suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance. He slowly said, "You like to use your privilege to oppress others so much, but do you know if you can handle the knife cutting you?"

Gao Zheng and Cheng Sijun were stunned, not knowing what she meant.

Jiang Li held her phone and sent a message.
