Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 324 Cannon Attacks Hong Kong, Local Paparazzi Are So Rude

Yung Kee Restaurant, Central

When Yan Li travels to other places, he doesn't really care about the class of the place. He prefers to seek out local flavors, regardless of whether he likes the food or not. At least he can broaden his horizons and make the trip worthwhile.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if Boss Yang of Yinghuang had specifically inquired about Yan Li's preferences and style.

Yung Kee, the restaurant where he treated guests, is a well-known old brand in Hong Kong. It is famous for its roast goose, which is very Hong Kong style. The environment and decoration are also good, so it is not considered neglecting VIPs.

"Mr. Yan, welcome to Hong Kong. I apologize for the intrusion in inviting you."

"Mr. Yang, you're too kind. I came to Hong Kong on some personal business, and I didn't expect to bother you."

Boss Yang personally went out to greet Yan Li, and the two shook hands and exchanged warm greetings.

Yan Li and Ying Huang had a fair amount of contact, though not many. Aside from private industry gatherings, Yan Li was the one who introduced Jiang Wen to the film "The Sun Also Rises." They also had some dealings with each other during the X-ray scandal.

This is also why Yinghuang intends to shift its focus northward and seek to build good relations with various parties in the mainland.

Yi An is one of the major film and television companies in mainland China, so naturally she is a key figure to befriend.

Upon learning that Yan Li was coming to Hong Kong, Mr. Yang, as the host, naturally wanted to try to win him over.

Yinghuang wanted to win over various parties in the mainland, and Yanli also intended to establish a certain relationship with Yinghuang.

Yan Li has some opinions about Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors and even capital, but he doesn't have a blanket rejection or exclusion of them.

Acting like a big shot and talking nonsense, wanting to be superior to others—Yan Li will absolutely not tolerate that. If you're willing to cooperate properly, Yan Li won't let money slip by.

Currently, the three major film and television companies in Hong Kong are Media Asia, Edko Films, and Entertainment Group. They have money, resources, and channels, and are confident enough to share the profits with mainland bigwigs.

Other established Hong Kong film studios such as Sunrise Films, Oriental Films, and Galaxy Impressions are not as confident.

A couple of years ago, they could still maintain a certain image, but now it's clear that they're starting to fall behind some of the giant companies in mainland China.

In two years, with the mainland market booming and hot money flowing in, mainland film and television companies will go public and raise funds as needed. Having ample funds and control of market resources, they will then be able to turn the tables on these small and medium-sized companies in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Even Hong Kong entertainment giants like Yinghuang have to bow their heads, but those with substantial resources are in a much better position.

As for Yi An, while cooperation with the Hong Kong entertainment circle may be profitable, it is not an absolute necessity.

The reason Yan Li continued to maintain contact was that he didn't want to benefit others.

The trend of Hong Kong films moving north is unstoppable, and co-productions are gradually becoming the mainstream in the industry. Even "Painted Skin" managed to put on the guise of a co-production.

Yinghuang, Media Asia, and Anle brought a lot of money and resources, but Yi'an ignored them. However, Huayi Brothers, Orange Sky Entertainment, Bona Film Group, and other companies were not so polite.

Is it foolish to fund your opponent for nothing and also create an enemy for yourself?

Conversely, Yan Li's collaboration with the Hong Kong entertainment circle can also accelerate Yi An's development. Most importantly, it reduces the cooperation between the Hong Kong entertainment circle and rivals such as Huayi Brothers.

It's not important to cooperate with the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but it's important to get the Hong Kong entertainment industry to cooperate less with rivals like Huayi Brothers.

Yinghuang took this welcome party for Yan Li very seriously. Boss Yang himself was present, along with several core executives and several of their leading artists.

The Xie and Zhang couple, ostensibly expressed their gratitude to Yan Li for his help in the photo scandal.

The other party involved, Zhong, didn't come, probably because he was afraid of an awkward situation.

To be honest, Yan Li was somewhat convinced. He didn't know if Yinghuang was being unreasonable or if these people were just more resilient.

During the initial exposure of the sex tape scandal, Zhang and Zhong did not stop working.

Zhong resumed work less than two weeks after the news broke, while Zhang took a few days longer and publicly filmed an advertisement, which was an underwear advertisement. The two endured it for a while, but found that the impact was too great and the interference too much, so they chose to stop working to avoid the storm.

Currently, both of them are still out of work, with only some minor tasks available. Xie and Zhong's teammates have also been affected to some extent.

It's no wonder Boss Yang hates Teacher Chen. If it were Yan Li, he would also make Chen suffer.

They almost ruined several of his money-making opportunities in one fell swoop. Nobody does that, not to mention it seems to involve Yang's relatives.

Yan Li didn't talk to Zhang much. Neither of them were good people, and they were in front of her husband, so she had to avoid suspicion.

Xie did chat for a while. Yan Li had heard that this person was a bit arrogant and pretentious, but he didn't feel that way. On the contrary, he thought the other person was quite humble.

This is because different locations lead to different environments and feelings.

Looking up, all you see are cold backsides; looking down, all you see are smiling faces.

In the past few years, Yan Li has really met very few difficult people in the entertainment industry. Even those who are known to be tough are easy to talk to and friendly.

One reason is that Yan Li has a high status, so others dare not cause trouble for him. The other reason is that Yan Li has high emotional intelligence and no bad habits. As long as you don't provoke him, his words and actions are always appropriate.

In this way, everyone will be happy and everything will be fine.

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. When Yan Li was being seen off to his car, a female executive from Yinghuang handed him her business card.

"Mr. Yan, there are many fun places in Hong Kong. If you feel lonely traveling alone, you can contact me and I can arrange a tour companion for you."

Yan Li glanced at the other person. He recognized him: Huo Wenxi, the head of Yinghuang's artist management business, and also Xie Tingfeng and Joey Yung's agent.

"Thank you, Manager Huo."

What is an escort? Those who know, know. Out of politeness, Yan Li did not refuse the business card, but she would not make the phone call.

He wasn't that eager for sex, and he didn't trust Yinghuang!

After Yan Li left, Boss Yang looked at Huo Wenxi and said, "I heard that Yan Sheng has spoken to an artist from mainland China in one of his companies."

"Yes, that artist is called Bai Bing. He's been with the company for less than two years. It's said that he has some connections with Yan Sheng and personally recommended him to my brother for the role in 'Shinjuku Incident.' He also gave Yi An a film contract."

After a moment's thought, Mr. Yang said, "Let's investigate further. If it's confirmed that there is a connection, we'll provide appropriate training and support."

Huo Wenxi replied, "Understood. I noticed that Mr. Yan was very calm when he accepted the business card, as if he wasn't interested. Should we call Bai Bing to Hong Kong?"

"No need. If he wanted to, he would have brought it directly. The fact that he didn't bring it means he has other plans. We've done our duty, so let's not make a fuss."

Given Yan Li's reputation, Boss Yang suspects he also has women in Hong Kong, and it would be bad if his good intentions backfired.

Moreover, even if Yinghuang wants to befriend Yi'an and form a cooperative relationship, both sides should be relatively equal. Yinghuang can be enthusiastic and cautious, but doesn't need to be too obsequious.

...

After finishing his business with Yinghuang, Yan Li planned to simply greet Xiao Huang and move on, but Xiao Huang ended up waiting for him at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.

It's likely that seeing the close relationship between Yan Li and Yinghuang put some pressure on them.

If Yi An and Ying Huang collaborate, the latter's resources and connections in the Hong Kong entertainment circle go without saying, making Oriental Films virtually irrelevant.

Huang Baiming had been laying out his plans in mainland China for a long time, and had connections with Shanghai Film Group and Bona Film Group. He wouldn't be unable to survive without Yi An, but having finally established these relationships, and with Yi An's momentum so strong, who would give up such a powerful partner for nothing?

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Huang claimed to have a good relationship with Yan Li, being of similar age, and getting along well in private, Huang Baiming would have come over in person long ago.

Right now, Xiao Huang has already made a solemn pledge to his father to maintain a good relationship with Yan Li. If he messes up, he'll be in for a beating.

Since Mr. Huang was the first to invite him, and given his attitude, and the two families had a good relationship, Yan Li couldn't simply refuse.

"How about this, let's find a quiet place, have some drinks, and chat."

Xiao Huang was somewhat disappointed. He wanted to show Yan Li some of Hong Kong's glamorous nightlife, but Yan Li didn't seem very interested in it.

Otherwise, how could someone so young have built such a large business from scratch?

Xiao Huang reflected on his actions and decided to learn from Yan Sheng and go to nightclubs less often.

Yan Li himself was unaware that, while Xiao Huang's fawning and flattery towards him was partly due to their status and cooperation, he also admired Xiao Huang to some extent, making him almost a fanboy.

Two years ago, Xiao Huang met Yan Lichu, and at that time he was actually a little resentful.

In the past two years, he and Yan Li have become friends and have had some exchanges. He has witnessed firsthand the rapid rise of this man, who is only two years younger than him, from a rising star in the industry to a big shot in the industry. Even his father has gradually begun to look up to him.

What initially made Xiao Huang feel resentful turned into respect, and then into admiration.

As a second-generation rich kid, he despises and hates self-made entrepreneurs of his age the most, but sometimes, he also envies and admires people like Yan Li the most.

As far as Mr. Huang knows, there are quite a few second and third-generation Hong Kongers who admire and have a good impression of Yan Li, this prominent figure from the mainland.

Hong Kong used to be a place of great influence and talent, but in recent years, class barriers have gradually formed, and there are fewer and fewer self-made men.

Since they weren't available locally, some wealthy mainlanders with a knack for attracting attention have also become sought-after foreign monks.

Mr. Huang found a quiet bar, listened to soothing music, ate some late-night snacks, drank and chatted, and it felt pretty good.

It would be great if there were fewer girls trying to chat me up!

Yan Li didn't know if he had been recognized, or if Xiao Huang was just too famous, or if his charm had made him the center of attention.

It wasn't until Xiao Huang pointed to his Armima shirt and Patek Philippe watch that Yan Li understood what was going on.

In mainland China, which is still in the development stage, the concepts of fashion and luxury goods are not yet widespread. Unless they are fashionable white-collar workers, women who frequent nightclubs, or people who are keen to study these things, most people do not recognize many luxury goods.

Take Patek Philippe for example. Many people have never even heard of the name, and even if they have, they wouldn't recognize the watch if it were placed in front of them.

Hong Kong is different. These things have been popular since the last century, and many girls are very familiar with various high-end luxury brands.

Those who know Yan Li need no introduction, but even those who don't can tell from his clothes and watch that he's a rich fool, so of course they'll try their luck.

Shaking his head, Yan Li took off his watch, and immediately became much quieter.

After all, a set of brand-name clothes isn't particularly expensive; an average white-collar worker can afford it to show off if they grit their teeth. But a luxury watch is a different story.

Yan Li's watch was a birthday gift from Fan Xiaopang, and it seems to be worth more than 40 yuan. Most people couldn't afford it even if they gritted their teeth.

However, he was a little curious: "Are these people so sharp-eyed? Aren't they afraid that I'm wearing counterfeit goods?"

In Yan Li's memory, the counterfeit market in Hong Kong was well-developed and popular, and there were even mainland tourists who specifically bought them.

"It doesn't matter, let's try our luck. What if we're lucky? Besides, Yan Sheng is both handsome and strong, so it's not a loss even if we don't have money."

Young Master Huang, being quite experienced, guessed roughly what these people were thinking, and Yan Li understood perfectly.

Hong Kong women have always been open-minded, which has been criticized even by people in Hong Kong themselves and has even become a derogatory term. For them, picking up girls in bars and having one-night stands are commonplace.

Perhaps some of them are actually drawn by Yan Li's charm, after all, Boss Yan is quite presentable in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament.

"They're all just ordinary women. If you're interested, I can make arrangements."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Huang immediately began to fawn over Yan Li, who was slightly displeased.

What kind of image does he have in these people's minds? What kind of person do they all think he is?!

Yan Li smiled politely, changed the subject, talked about some industry gossip and project news, and then got down to business.

Mr. Huang didn't approach him for nothing; Oriental Films has relaunched the "All's Well, Ends Well" series this year.

This series was quite famous, and back then it even brought in Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow to participate.

However, many years have passed, times have changed, and the dominance of Hong Kong films has declined significantly. The days when they grossed tens of millions at the Hong Kong box office and were sought after by Taiwan and Southeast Asia for their copyrights are long gone.

The newly launched film "All's Well, Ends Well" needs to consider the mainland market if it wants to make money; in fact, mainland box office revenue and other income will be the main source of income for the entire film.

Bona Film Group, their longtime collaborator with mainland China, isn't particularly interested in this kind of low-budget comedy.

However, Enlight Media, which had previously collaborated with Oriental Films on "Flash Point," took the initiative to contact them.

However, given that Enlight Media currently lacks a strong reputation and foundation in the film market, Huang Baiming prefers Yi An, who is more capable and has a proven track record in low-budget films.

Yan Li had only so-so interest in the "Happy Family" project; he was indifferent to it.

However, out of respect for the Huang family, he will ask Yi An to make a forecast later. If he thinks the prospects are promising, he will choose to invest. Otherwise, Yi An will only cooperate with them to issue the shares.

What Oriental Film values ​​most is Yi An's distribution channels in mainland China.

Finding the money to invest is easy; the key is knowing how to sell it for profit.

As the mainland market becomes increasingly developed, Yi An, which holds both distribution and cinema rights, will have a greater advantage in its collaborations with the Hong Kong film industry.

Besides "All's Well, Ends Well," there's also "Ip Man." I hope East Hope will give Yi An some support.

There's really no need for Mr. Huang to elaborate on this. Yi An is one of the producers of "Ip Man," so they naturally won't slack off in their efforts.

After finishing discussing these important matters, which put Mr. Huang at ease, Yan Li signaled the end of the meeting and went back to the hotel to rest.

Young Master Huang personally escorted Yan Li back home and then reported the good news to his father.

Huang Baiming inquired about what had happened, was generally satisfied, and then instructed his son to continue to maintain a good relationship with Yan Li.

While Yan Li is in Hong Kong, keep in touch, but don't go too far or you'll interfere with his important business. The key is to cater to his preferences.

Everyone knows Yan Li's preferences.

Mr. Huang said, "I asked him, but he ignored me and seemed uninterested."

Huang Baiming sighed, "Who told you to ask? What were you going to say? Did they expect you to tell them you wanted a woman?"

“Yan Li achieved early success and has no shortage of women, and he is also concerned about his reputation. How could he possibly ask for that? You should make the arrangements directly. If he wants it, great; if not, it's still a good thing that you, as his friend, have done your best. You can even use this as an excuse to apologize or find another woman, thus creating another opportunity to get closer to him.”

Huang Baiming has a son and a daughter. His son, Little Huang, joined the company early on and is considered his successor. He is being taught little by little.

He asked Xiao Huang to befriend Yan Li, partly because they were close in age and easy to talk to; the most important reason was to pave the way for his son and build connections.

Mr. Huang suddenly realized: "I understand, I'll go arrange it right away."

Huang Baiming thought about it for a moment, but was still a little worried. He gave his son a suggestion: "Find Kim. She's an expert and knows how to arrange things."

Mr. Huang nodded. He and Kim were fairly familiar with each other. Kim had been doing quite well in the past two years, with a bunch of models under her management, connections with many rich young men and male stars, and she had even made a "Heavenly King's Wife" her.

Unable to gauge Yan Li's abilities, he sent this experienced person instead.

...

"Young Master Huang, don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Yan."

After hanging up the phone, Kim excitedly pumped his fist. Last time in the "Ip Man" crew, Xiong Dailin was kicked out by Yi An, but he was given compensation.

She personally accompanied Xiong Beishang, hoping to use this opportunity to connect with Yan Li, but she couldn't even see him.

Just kidding. Although Hong Kong's entertainment industry is more developed, the mainland's development is not slow either.

There are plenty of independent agents who manage models and minor artists. Who wouldn't want to get on board with Boss Yan and soar to stardom? They don't even have the chance, let alone Kim, who's from out of town.

After going around in circles, Kim returned empty-handed, but he did witness Yi An's power in mainland China and became even more enthusiastic about Yan Li, this big shot.

Although the entry barrier is high, the returns are also high once you get involved.

At least Yan Li is a womanizer, so there's a possibility she could connect with him. If it were someone who values ​​money and resources, she wouldn't even have a chance.

However, although Kim was eager to make a move, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Unexpectedly, her luck turned around when Yan Li came to Hong Kong on his own initiative, and even Xiao Huang asked her to help entertain him. She ended up getting caught in the crossfire.

After hanging up the phone, Kim began to figure out how to successfully get in touch with Yan Li.

Her biggest asset is Xiong Dailin; the title of "Heavenly King's Wife" is quite valuable.

But if he could get in touch with Yan Li, Aaron Kwok wouldn't necessarily give up, since Kwok himself isn't exactly honest and is rather stingy with Xiong.

The other two are Janice Man and Angelababy. They are doing quite well now and are considered prominent figures in the Chinese modeling industry, with some fame.

There are also some who don't have that halo effect. Kim has researched Yan Li, and most of the women he's been rumored to be dating are female celebrities, so it seems he values ​​that aspect. Unknown women are much less attractive.

But just to be on the safe side, Kim still picked a few promising talents, as well as two clean-cut newcomers.

After thinking about it, Kim was still worried, so she used her connections to find some good Japanese, Korean, and Western models.

If you don't like Hong Kong-style food, there's always Western food as a backup, giving you more options and more opportunities.

Kim made a list of players, studied the situation, and selected Baby and Wen Yongshan as the main players.

Being the wife of a superstar like Lynn Hung is one of her sources of income, so she avoids using it if possible.

Baby is someone she highly regards. She's beautiful, cunning, and knows how to get things done. Most importantly, she listens to her and can push her to be the first to rise to the top.

Wen Yongshan has some connection with Yan Li, and more importantly, she is paired with Baby, so they can work together.

Kim had considered that Yan Li was a seasoned and experienced person, and without some unexpected tactics, he would hardly achieve any results. If a single card didn't work, then he would play a pair.

The opportunity is too rare to be taken slowly; we must act decisively and spare no effort to increase the chances of success.

Kim contacted Baby and Wen Yongshan overnight to talk to them and persuade them to change their minds.

Baby is easier to persuade; she's ambitious and has low standards, so convincing her isn't difficult.

Wen Yongshan has a slightly stronger personality, but comes from an ordinary family. Kim used this as a starting point and eventually reached a tacit agreement.

Kim then spoke with several other substitutes, saying that if Wen Yongshan and the other two couldn't make it, the others should step in quickly, and that necessary preparations should be made.

Feeling confident that everything was in order, Kim contacted CEO Huang and said he could arrange to meet Yan Li.

Mr. Huang immediately extended an invitation to Yan Li, but Yan Li, who was busy, ignored him.

If the butterfly effect hadn't occurred, just days after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, the market was already sensing an impending storm, and Yan Li began making his own arrangements.

Yan Li's method of making money wasn't complicated, and he was afraid of being tricked if he made it too troublesome.

Compared to these seasoned veterans who have been in the financial markets for years, he is still a bit green. Many of his tricks, even with system alerts, can easily lead to trouble.

So Yan Li followed the system's future intelligence alerts and started shorting several well-known and large-cap stocks and futures.

There are many people who can wield considerable influence in the market, but if one operates prudently and diversifies their funds, they will not attract much attention.

The first stage is short selling; the second stage is foreign exchange arbitrage, bond purchases, and gold buying; the third stage is bottom-fishing and buying up stocks, waiting for the market to recover.

In addition, there are some scattered overseas operations, all based on intelligence alerts. The specific operations and profits will depend on the actual situation.

Yan Li's approach remains focused on stability and safety. The financial crisis is no joke; many who try to profit from it end up losing money. Making less money is not a big deal; the key is to exit the market smoothly.

Even so, according to Yan Li's estimate, if things go smoothly, he will at least pocket several hundred million yuan in cash.

If things go exceptionally smoothly, one can even achieve temporary financial freedom and make a fortune in one fell swoop.

Yan Li even went to several famous temples in Hong Kong to pay his respects. Since he was from out of town, the local gods might not necessarily take care of him, so he still had to burn incense and pray to them.

In the days that followed, Yan Li's whereabouts became increasingly uncertain.

He even cancelled his room reservation and rented several apartments specifically for himself and his team because he felt the Peninsula Hotel was attracting too much attention.

Mr. Huang tried to arrange a meeting with Yan Li several times but was unable to get him to come out, leading him to suspect that Yan Li had returned to the mainland.

By mid-September, Yan Li, who had made most of the preliminary arrangements, felt that a major battle was approaching and wanted to relax and have some fun with his team to boost morale. He asked Xiao Huang to help with the arrangements.

"It's still hot now, why not rent a yacht and go out to sea for a trip, have a yacht party, eat, drink and have fun? Most of your subordinates probably haven't experienced this before, it'll be a novelty for them."

Yan Li thought about it and thought it was a good idea: "You can help arrange it. I'll transfer the money to you. Try to make it as high-end as possible. If you're going to have fun, then have a great time."

In the coming months, this team will be a money-making machine; we must maintain a good relationship with them and keep them working hard.

He'll give them a taste of success first. If they behave well, he'll charter a large yacht and let them go out to sea for three days and three nights.

Perhaps because he had been unable to arrange a meeting with Yan Li before, Xiao Huang was somewhat flattered when Yan Li took the initiative to ask him for help this time.

Through connections, a large yacht that can carry 50 people was booked. Then, the chef, ingredients, and logistics were all arranged. Kim was contacted, and the girl was handed over to her.

Kim had been waiting anxiously for many days and almost thought that Xiao Huang was just fooling her, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.

Yacht parties are great! They offer enclosed spaces, allow for light clothing, and provide plenty of opportunities.

Moreover, she had always been worried that Wen Yongshan and the other person wouldn't be up to par, and that it would be too late for her to find replacements. Now, she could bring a group of people and let Yan Li choose first, which greatly increased the margin for error.

Kim personally selected more than a dozen people. In fact, Yan Li's team didn't have that many people, but having more people is better than having fewer.

All the necessary clothes and items were prepared, and Kim even arranged for the group to undergo medical examinations so they could take the reports with them when boarding the yacht.

Wealthy people value their lives, and safety issues cannot be ignored.

Seriously, not only did Xiao Huang have his eyes opened, but even Yan Li, after hearing about this, began to look at Sister Kim in a different light.

In some ways, she is quite talented!
When Kim led the team to send people onto the yacht, Yan Li gave her a business card, not because of the women, but because of her abilities.

But Yan Li, being in that position, doesn't necessarily feel disgust or contempt for someone like Kim; he's no saint himself, so there's no need for him to stand on moral high ground and offer unwarranted advice.

Everyone has their own use, and Yan Li sometimes really needs someone like Kim.

Kim was very excited, not expecting to leave an impression on Yan Sheng so easily.

However, before leaving, she gave Baby and the other person a wink, because the deeper the impression of the big boss, the better.

Yan Li led Xiao Huang to visit the private room, while his assistant Ding Feng arrived with two bodyguards carrying equipment.

"Excuse me, everyone, we need to check something. Please leave your phones and other belongings with me for now."

Yan Li trusted Xiao Huang to some extent, but not much. He went through the party once using the system, and then had Ding Feng lead a team to check everything, including the yacht and the people there.

This behavior is bound to cause some controversy.

However, once Ding Feng opened the small box next to him, revealing a stack of banknotes to each person as a meeting fee, the objections disappeared.

When Yan Li's team saw this, they nodded silently.

Everyone was very happy to have Mr. Yan host the yacht party, but there were also some concerns. However, Mr. Yan always thinks ahead and ensures the safety of the environment and personnel, even providing medical examination reports. As expected of Mr. Yan, he is incredibly reliable.

After the inspection and tidying were completed, Ding Feng informed Yan Li that everyone was free to do as they pleased.

Although it was supposed to be a free time, the team members were very restrained and just asked the girls to chat. On the one hand, it was inevitable that they would build up some groundwork at the beginning, and on the other hand, they hadn't chosen any girls yet.

Those brought to Hong Kong by Yan Li to make money are all elites, and they understand this basic rule.

Having frequented social gatherings, Yan Li naturally understood what was going on and planned to pick someone at random to break the ice.

Before he could even take a look, Baby, fearing someone else would steal the spot, jumped out and said, "Mr. Yan, I'm Baby. I saw you and Young Master Huang at a bar two years ago."

When she said that, Yan Li remembered it and smiled, "You're an adult now, aren't you?"

"Uh-huh."

Baby nodded: "I'm already 20 years old."

Yan Li nodded and looked him over. Although he was a bit thin, he was still quite good-looking.

Just as she was about to speak, Wen Yongshan gritted her teeth and stepped forward: "Mr. Yan, last time I was with you."

Yan Li was taken aback. He remembered the incident and the girl, but he had long forgotten what she looked like and what her name was.

After all, Yan Li had so many social engagements, and nothing really happened, so how could he remember them all so clearly?

When Xiao Huang saw the two of them, he remembered the favor Kim had asked him to do and offered to help.

“Mr. Yan, those two are a famous young model duo in Hong Kong, with a certain influence. If it weren’t for you, Kim wouldn’t have been willing to send them here.”

Yan Li understood what was going on as soon as he heard this. After glancing at the number of people, he stopped arguing and said, "You two can go together."

With so many people on the yacht, he didn't intend to do anything there. He just had two people serving him tea and drinks. It didn't matter who he was; at least these two were good-looking.

After Yan Li finished making her choice, the others finally became more active. Little Huang also found someone and left naturally, leaving Yan Li free to move around.

"Let's go to the deck."

Yan Li didn't like the chaotic atmosphere, so he put on sunglasses and went to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze. Baby and Wen Yongshan exchanged a glance and obediently followed him.

It was a bit hot outside, so Yan Li simply took off his shirt and went shirtless.

Seeing Yan Li's well-defined muscles, Baby's eyes lit up, and she said solicitously.

“Yan Sheng, it’s not good for your skin to be exposed to the wind and sun like this. I brought sunscreen, I can apply it for you.”

Yan Li nodded, and Baby went inside the yacht to find her bag. Wen Yongshan looked at Yan Li with a hint of resentment.

Last time, Yan Li only played with me, but now he's added Baby.

Hmph, that buck-toothed girl. I was trying to trick her earlier, but if she hadn't said something, Yan Sheng might have been monopolized by her.

Seeing that no one was around, Wen Yongshan leaned close to Yan Li's ear and said, "Don't believe her. She has a boyfriend, and they even have matching tattoos."

"Oh?"

Yan Li asked with some curiosity, "What does her boyfriend do?"

"It's a singer named Chen Weiting, but he's not very famous."

Yan Li thought for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

As they were talking, Baby returned with sunscreen, and at the same time, she had changed her clothes into a bikini.

Although she is flat and thin, she is at least youthful and full of energy.

Baby opened the sunscreen: "Yan Sheng, let me apply it for you."

"No need, let her do it."

Yan Li pointed at Wen Yongshan, who was delighted. She took the sunscreen, applied it to her hands, and then gently rubbed it onto Yan Li.

Baby looked uneasy when she saw this. She was fine just a moment ago, how did things suddenly turn out like this?

She glanced at Wen Yongshan; it was definitely her doing.

"Go pour me a glass of wine, chilled, and get me some food too."

Yan Li ordered Baby to run errands, and the latter dared not disobey. When she returned, she saw that Wen Yongshan had also changed into a bikini and was a little shy, asking Yan Li to help her apply sunscreen.

Baby was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. It was so unfair! We all came together, why did she become a waitress?

After Yan Li finished applying the ointment to Wen Yongshan, Baby tried to speak up: "Mr. Yan, could you apply some for me too?"

Yan Li handed the sunscreen to Wen Yongshan: "You apply it to her."

"Ok."

Wen Yongshan offered her help enthusiastically, while Baby smiled but glared at her, her eyes practically piercing her. Taking advantage of Yan Li's closed eyes and the breeze, she whispered something.

"What exactly did you do? Believe me or not, I'll tell Sister Kim."

"It's none of my business if you don't like Yan Sheng. Go ahead and sue him if you dare, and see who Kim sides with now."

Wen Yongshan, who claimed to be closer to Yan Li, suddenly became quite animated. She said that while Kim prioritized Baby, she wasn't bad to her either, and now that she had gained Yan Li's favor, she would treat her even better.
Baby was furious, but dared not cause a scene, otherwise she would definitely be kicked out by Wen Yongshan, or simply replaced.

She could only seize the opportunity when Wen Yongshan was not around to ask Yan Li: "Yan Sheng, did she say bad things about me? Don't believe her, she has other purposes."

Yan Li pushed up his sunglasses. He didn't care about the rivalry between the two girls; it was just for fun and to relieve boredom, so he told them the truth.

“She said you have a boyfriend. I have some principles, I don’t mess with other women.”

Baby finally understood what was going on, and in her heart she was cursing Wen Yongshan, but she said it aloud.

“I’ve already broken up with that boyfriend. She’s lying to you on purpose.”

Yan Li asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Baby nodded repeatedly: "It's true, we broke up a few months ago, and he's already found a new girlfriend."

"I see."

Yan Li is an honest person who easily trusts others. Since Baby said she broke up with him, he believed her.

So when Wen Yongshan returned, she saw Baby massaging Yan Li's shoulders with a smile and a hint of command in her voice.

"There's not much ice left, go and get some."

Wen Yongshan subconsciously looked at Yan Li, but the latter made no comment and could only leave feeling wronged.

Seeing this, Baby was both smug and afraid that Wen Yongshan would take advantage of the situation to suppress her, so she became even more careful in serving Yan Li.

Wen Yongshan sensed the crisis, and so did Yan Li. After that, Yan Li was fed by her, and at night, everyone vied to warm his bed.

Two beautiful young women pounced on him, and Yan Li didn't pretend to be a saint. Although he had to play it safe due to the complicated environment of the yacht, he didn't hesitate to take the benefits he deserved.

He'll be staying in Hong Kong for a while longer, and there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the remaining benefits.

...

The yacht went out to sea during the day and didn't return until almost noon the next day. Yan Li, who had a great time DJing and sea fishing last night, was woken up by Ding Feng when the yacht docked at the port. His room faced the deck, so he came out to take a look while still in his underwear.

"Give a shout, let them call out, get ready to disembark."

Baby and Wen Yongshan also woke up, rubbing their eyes as they came out to take a look.

The chef had breakfast brought over, and Yan Li ate heartily, but the two women had little appetite. Yan Li, feeling sorry for them, could only cook for them himself, serving them chicken rolls and soy milk.

After landing, Yan Li didn't need to worry about the others. He gave Wen Yongshan and Baby a tip of 10 each.

Baby wanted to go with Yan Li, and Wen Yongshan was also tempted, but Yan Li did not agree.

Now that we've relaxed, it's time for the big battle. We can talk about perks later, when we have free time or are under a lot of pressure.

Yan Li returned to his residence, feeling unwell from sleep, and took another nap, only to be woken up by the ringing of the telephone.

Fan Xiaopang's voice rang out: "Yan Jupao, you've become famous?"

Yan Li was a little confused. After listening to Fan Xiaopang's words, he hurriedly called Ding Feng, then got some newspapers and went online. Then his vision went slightly black.

When the yacht docked in the morning, paparazzi took photos of him wearing only his underwear. The photos were quite clear, with a close-up of his private parts, and the paparazzi gave the photos sensational headlines.

"Big Ice Popsicles, Moving Kowloon Island"

Two young models team up: Angelababy and Janice Man witness the power of Yan Jiaqiang (a famous Chinese martial arts master).

"Giant Cannons Attack Hong Kong, Young Models in Crisis"

"..."

Damn, what a terrible headline! These local paparazzi are so rude...
