Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 530, Section 120: Let's talk about reality!

Wen Tianxin didn't want his girlfriend to show her face in public, but it wasn't good for her to stay in the villa all day. When people are idle, problems and troubles will arise.

After much thought, I decided that letting Wang Lizhen go to work would be entirely beneficial.

Wang Lizhen cared more about the baby in her belly than anyone else, after all, whether she could become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family depended on this baby.

"I have no objection to you going out to do business, as long as it's not too strenuous. The real estate company hasn't finalized its advertising budget for this year yet. If everything goes smoothly, I'll place ads for you. This way, the profits won't go to outsiders."

Wang Lizhen was overjoyed to see Wen Tianxin's support and kissed him on the cheek.

The two went to the Chanel counter at Lane Crawford department store and bought a new seasonal handbag before parting ways.

Wen Tianxin got into his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur and left, while Wang Lizhen got into a Mercedes-Benz 350SL sports car.

The weather was nice today. She pressed the button on the roof of the car to open the hardtop, took out a red snapper and a parking ticket, drove the sports car to the toll booth, and threw the parking ticket and tip into the toll booth.

The South Asian security guard was beaming when he saw the tip. He quickly pressed the button, gave a British military salute, and watched the wealthy woman leave.

Carver Department Store is very close to the Peninsula Hotel. Wang Lizhen drove for less than ten minutes to reach the Peninsula Hotel's parking lot.

The parking attendant in the parking lot quickly stepped forward and opened the driver's side door for Wang Lizhen.

"Thank you!"

A smile and politeness are the best shield and a very effective barrier. Wang Lizhen put on sunglasses, handed a folded red snapper to the valet, and took the elevator in the underground parking lot to the Peninsula Tea Restaurant.

Her best friend hadn't arrived yet, so she randomly found a table, ordered a pot of iced tea and a plate of pastry tarts, picked up a magazine from the table, and started reading under the not-too-bright sun.

"Ah Zhen!"

Hearing someone call her name, Wang Lizhen quickly snapped out of her world of words. She turned her head slightly bewildered and saw her best friend Wu Mudan waving at her. Beside her best friend was a man dressed in a shady manner.

Sometimes, being a gangster is a profession, but also a kind of temperament.

Wu Mudan and Bishiqiang walked over to Wang Lizhen, pulled out chairs and sat down. A waiter came over, and the two of them ordered freshly squeezed lemonade.

"Ah Zhen, let me introduce you. This is Brother Qiang. He owns the hottest talent agency right now, Angel Talent Agency."

Wu Mudan took off her hat and placed it on an empty chair to the side, then introduced Nasal Bubble Strong to Wang Lizhen.

"Hello, Brother Qiang!"

Wang Lizhen gave a perfunctory smile, said a greeting, and then fell silent.

Seeing Wang Lizhen's perfunctory attitude, Wu Mudan quickly continued, "Ah Zhen, this opportunity to become a radio host was arranged for you by Brother Qiang."

"Find an opportunity, Ah Zhen, you should thank Brother Qiang properly."

After her best friend repeatedly emphasized it, Wang Lizhen finally looked at the gangster in front of her and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother Qiang!"

“Don’t mention it! Our Angel Acting Agency is lacking top talents like Miss Zhen, who excels in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. It’s a bit of a waste for her to be a radio host.” Nosebleed Qiang took out a cigar, lit it with a match on the table, arrogantly blew out a smoke ring, and continued, “Deborah is going to start a variety show recently, and now she needs a third host.”

“Deborah is the dream girl of all the young men in Hong Kong right now, so the ratings are sure to be high. How about this, I’ll arrange an interview and let Ms. Zhen get the contract for the third host position.”

"Miss Zhen, what do you think?"

Deborah is indeed very popular now, a double beauty pageant winner, and engaged to Xie Laosi, with plans to get married this year. With all these factors, her variety shows are sure to have good ratings.

But what's the price?!
Wang Lizhen is no innocent child; she rose through the ranks of the ballet company. The competition for the principal and runner-up positions was fierce and ruthless, with the competitors employing all sorts of tactics.

She met Wen Tianxin during the competition, and it was thanks to Wen Tianxin's three years of advertising investment that she was able to secure the second place. As for the price, it was simple: she became Wen Tianxin's kept woman, his mistress.

That's just how the entertainment industry is; everything comes at a price.

“It would be great to perform on the same stage as Deborah. Brother Qiang, you should have heard Mudan mention my boyfriend. I don’t do anything explicit.”

"You can't force things. If you force it, it's not good for anyone."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family is more attractive to Wang Lizhen than a variety show host; she wouldn't throw away the watermelon for a sesame seed.

Boseqiang sneered inwardly. He didn't want to mess with these pampered rich kids, but Lao Ding, the big boss, asked him to do something, so he couldn't refuse.

Fuming, Nosebleed Strong didn't hold back his words, saying sarcastically, "Of course I know who Miss Zhen's boyfriend is. Not only do I know, but everyone knows."

“But I not only know who Miss Zhen’s boyfriend is, I also know who your boyfriend’s wife is.”

"I heard that Miss Zhen's position as the second-best ballerina in the ballet company was overturned by Miss Zhou with just one word. She is in her prime and has a bright future. With just one word from a rich heiress, you have to obediently step down."

"What a pity!"

“Miss Zhen, I heard you’re pregnant. This is Young Master Wen’s first child. But the Wen family is far inferior to the Zhou family. If you don’t stand in a prominent place, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to protect this little brat.”

What Booger said was the truth. It was only with the approval of Sir Zhou and the efforts of all the Dongguan businessmen that Wen Da Shao was able to become the vice president of the Fisheries Association.

Similarly, a single word from Sir Zhou could remove Young Master Wen from his position, since Sir Zhou still holds the commercial investment power of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce.

Nosebleed Qiang doesn't know these gossip stories about the wealthy, but if you just ask a couple of female celebrities or a few paparazzi who specialize in recording the feuds of the rich, you'll know all about them.

Although this was a bit alarmist, it still struck a chord with Wang Lizhen. Wen Tianxin wouldn't divorce Zhou Miaoyun, this old hag, for her sake.

The Wen family would not agree, because their business expansion in recent years has been following in the footsteps of the Zhou family, and no one would go against money.

"I'll give you a spot in front of the camera, and I guarantee Ms. Zhou won't do anything underhanded to you. In return, Angel Acting Agency will get half of Wen Dashao Real Estate Company's advertising share for this year."

"In exchange, Miss Zhen, I'll give you half a percent commission for every advertising contract you close. The position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family isn't as reliable as real money!"

Talking about money with a greedy woman is the quickest way to solve problems; this is a way of getting along that Boogie learned in the entertainment industry.
