Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 239, Section 238: Miss Asia, Lai Chi, No Pain, No Gain!
Yang Jun called out Zhan Mi, clearly having something to instruct him on, and Zhan Mi returned to sit down.

"Instead of buying the copyright, why not just acquire the comic book company and solve the problem once and for all!"

Yang Jun flicked the cigarette ash into the glass jar and said to Zhanmi:
"Could you investigate which of these two comic book companies, DC Comics or Marvel Comics, is a potential acquisition target?"

"I will personally go to America to arrange the acquisition!"

Marvel was called Marvel Comics in the 80s. It is not very famous at present, and its value is far lower than that of DC Comics. It is a rising star in the comic book industry.

Upon hearing that Yang Jun would personally travel to America, Jamie immediately took it seriously and solemnly said:
"Okay, I'll take the team to investigate right away!"

"Yes, if you have any questions, you can ask Ahua. He has a lot of intelligence contacts in America."

Yang Jun has always valued intelligence and had long ago sent Ahua to the United States to place informants, most of whom were Chinese, but they are not very useful at present.

The American CAI is not to be underestimated; if they target Yang Jun, it would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Yang Jun advised Ahua to be careful and to try to arrange for reliable Chinese people, preferably from his own company.

On the other side, Asia Television.

As Li Zhi left the company, he was about to take a bus home when a taxi stopped in front of him.

"Hey beautiful, where are you going?"

The driver, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked in a nonchalant tone.

Li Zhi waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't take a taxi, and the taxi driver drove away cursing.

Suddenly, Li Zhi's pager rang, displaying a message that read, "The boss is looking for you. Call back immediately."

When her agent, Sister Chen, contacted her, Li Zhi was startled. Ever since she won the beauty pageant at Asia Television, the station had assigned her an agent.

This agent is called Sister Chen. She has managed many big stars, including Andy Lau, and is considered a well-known agent in the industry.

She has always looked down on Jimmy Lai, thinking he was unsophisticated and from the mainland.

Without delay, Li Zhi immediately found a phone booth and called his agent, Sister Chen, back.

"Li Zhi, where have you been? The boss is looking for you!"

Hearing his manager Chen Jie's hurried tone, Li Zhi thought he had gotten into trouble and said guiltily:
"I just got off work and I'm planning to go home and cook dinner."

"Don't go back, wait for me at the TV station entrance."

Sister Chen hung up the phone in a hurry, and Li Zhi was completely baffled. He could only obediently wait at the entrance of the TV station.

Five minutes later, Sister Chen arrived at the TV station entrance in a taxi.

As soon as Sister Chen got out of the car, she grabbed Li Zhi's hand and said with a fawning smile:

"Miss Li Zhi, the boss wants to see me. Please get dressed up immediately and come with me to the appointment."

Boss? Master Wu?
Li Zhi's first reaction was that the TV station director was looking for him, but what was with Sister Chen's fawning attitude?

"Which boss?"

Seeing that Li Zhi still looked confused, Sister Chen burst into laughter and said to him:
"It's Mr. Yang, the richest man in the Chinese community, and the owner of Asia Television."

Sister Chen was very excited. She had been with the company for so long but had never met Mr. Yang.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang's secretary just called and said he wanted to meet with Lai Chi. This is a tremendous opportunity.

Mr. Yang?
Lai Chi was startled. Of course she knew Mr. Yang. In all of Hong Kong, you might not know Zhou Ruifa, but you would definitely have heard of Mr. Yang's name.

The owner of Asia Television, the chairman of Giant Group, the owner of Giant Films, a member of the Legislative Council, a Chinese philanthropist—these are all impressive titles, any one of which is dazzling.

"Mr. Yang, does he want to see me?"

Lai Chi was very excited; she had been with ATV for so long but had never met the boss.

It is said that every actress who has met Mr. Yang will have a brilliant and successful career.

"Yes, hurry up and get ready, come with me to see Mr. Yang."

Sister Chen glanced at her watch, feeling anxious, and added a sentence.

"Mr. Yang hates people who are late, so we need to hurry."

They hurriedly put on makeup, then got into the car and prepared to leave. The two took a taxi to the restaurant they had booked.

Inside the car, Sister Chen instructed Li Zhi:

"If Mr. Yang makes any requests, you must agree to them."

"This is your chance to defy fate, you must seize it!"

Sister Chen patiently persuaded him, but Li Zhi was still agitated because artists and their agents are essentially one entity. Only when an artist becomes a big star can they secure advertising endorsements and increase their movie fees.

"Oh no! What if he makes an unreasonable request?"

Li Zhi blushed, thinking about some unspoken rules circulating in the industry, and felt uneasy.

Sister Chen laughed and said to Li Zhi:

"What are you dreaming about? Mr. Yang is such a busy man, it's already a rare treat that he's willing to see you."

"If someone is willing to sleep with you, you should be secretly grateful; your ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke."

Li Zhi thought about it and agreed. He was just a newcomer to the acting world, and if he had this opportunity, he would definitely seize it.

Even a pheasant can rise to the top and become a phoenix!
"Here they come, Mr. Yang's convoy!"

Yang Jun's convoy consisted entirely of luxury cars, with seven Mercedes-Benz W14s escorting a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom. The license plates were also very eye-catching, number 8.

Sister Chen's eyes lit up. Seeing Yang Jun get out of the car, she quickly bowed and scraped, saying:

"Mr. Yang, I am Chen Huihui, a top agent from Asia Television."

Yang Jun simply nodded slightly, showing no interest in getting to know a top agent in his forties. No matter how much you try to make your presence felt, it's useless; Yang Jun didn't even give you a second glance.

Suddenly, Yang Jun's eyes lit up when he saw the graceful Li Zhi standing beside him.

The beauty is like jade. Lai Chi has a delicate face and a very voluptuous figure, with a prominent bust and buttocks. In particular, the headlights are so big and bright that they blind people.

Yang Jun was secretly pleased. No wonder He Xin and Li Lianjie were so infatuated with him, he really had something going for him!
The Miss Asia title is well-deserved!
Yang Jun led Li Zhi into the restaurant, but no one paid any attention to Sister Chen, so she could only leave awkwardly.

Upon entering the restaurant, Yang Jun looked around. The place was cleared out because he had booked the entire restaurant and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

"I've booked this entire restaurant; I prefer a quiet place!"

Li Zhi's lips twitched. Rich people are indeed capricious; they book out the whole place at the drop of a hat!
Yang Jun and Li Zhi walked to the window, where there were more than a dozen bodyguards around them, making Li Zhi feel very uncomfortable.

"Please move a little further away and don't disturb our conversation."

"Yes, boss!"

Da Dong waved his hand, and the bodyguards around him scattered to stand guard ten meters away, since the entire restaurant had been booked.

"Ms. Lai Chi, you're from mainland China, aren't you?"

"It's really tough working alone in Hong Kong!"

Yang Jun took the menu, ordered about ten dishes, and handed the menu to Li Zhi.

"Miss Li Zhi, is there anything you like?"

Thank you~

When Lai Chi heard the words "mainlanders," he was startled. Would his boss discriminate against mainlanders?

"Boss, although I am from the mainland, I take acting very seriously."

Yang Jun laughed and said to Li Zhi:

"Haha, you misunderstood! I have no problem with people from mainland China."

"I also come from the mainland, how could I possibly have a problem with the mainland?"

Yang Jun did not speak Cantonese, but rather standard Mandarin.

This deeply moved Lai Chi, bringing tears to her eyes. She had faced discrimination at Asia Television for many years.

In order to change her current situation, she wanted to get close to the gambling king in order to change her social class and make others respect her.

"Mr. Yang, it's me."

Li Zhi's teary eyes startled Yang Jun; his acting was quite good!
Li Zhi is very cunning. She was able to study abroad and completely manipulate Li Lianjie, so she must be quite capable.

“Ms. Li Zhi, you can tell me if you have any difficulties at the TV station.”

Yang Jun has extended an olive branch; it remains to be seen whether Li Zhi will accept it.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Yang Jun:
"Mr. Yang, I want to make a movie, can you help me?"

Li Zhi grabbed Yang Jun's hand and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"They've taken the bait," Yang Jun thought with a wicked grin.

Making movies comes at a price; you only reap what you sow!
