Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make a fortune from that big event.

While forming a fleet with Commander Cai and his team in the stock market now would make it easier and more stable to manage the market, it would also be more secure.

However, Liu Xiaobao knew in his heart that this would not allow his personal funds to grow rapidly.

If Liu Xiaobao wanted to rapidly increase his capital by continuing to be tied to Commander Cai and his group, he would have to make money with them.

Nearly 70 million yuan in funds, if it increases rapidly, would be quite alarming. It could potentially cause the entire stock market to collapse, which is not what Liu Xiaobao wants to see.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xiaobao decided to withdraw from the fleet.

However, this was not because Liu Xiaobao held a grudge against Commander Cai and the others for not wanting to invest; he was simply thinking about the stability of the entire stock market.

However, even though he was withdrawing, Liu Xiaobao couldn't just leave immediately.

Otherwise, Commander Cai and the others would think that Liu Xiaobao was holding a grudge because they didn't agree to invest.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao decided to work with Commander Cai and the others on the stock for another week before withdrawing.

Anyway, he had already given Commander Cai and the others his reason for withdrawing today: he needed to expand the company and therefore required funds, so he had to withdraw the money he had invested in stocks.

That way, we won't have any unpleasantness with Commander Cai and his team because of the withdrawal of investment.

After all, it was their prerogative not to invest in Liu Xiaobao's company, and there was no real grudge between them and Liu Xiaobao; they were more of friends than enemies. There was no need to ruin their relationship.

Having made up his mind, Liu Xiaobao stopped worrying and went to 'Night Tokyo' for dinner.

It wasn't that Lingzi had invited Liu Xiaobao to dinner; it was just that Liu Xiaobao hadn't been to 'Night Tokyo' for a while, and he thought he'd come and take a look.

He's a shareholder of 'Night Tokyo' after all!

Just like on Huanghe Road, as soon as Liu Xiaobao entered 'Night Tokyo', he heard Xiaowen and Xiaoqin shouting loudly.

"Boss Bao is here!"

"Boss lady, Mr. Bao is here!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao could only shake his head helplessly.

Although he enjoyed the effect of his appearance, he still felt it was a bit too high-profile.

Sure enough, with Xiaowen and Xiaoqin's shouts, Liu Xiaobao immediately became the focus of attention for the other customers in the store.

Left with no other choice, Liu Xiaobao could only smile and nod slightly to everyone before quickly heading towards the kitchen.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Liu Xiaobao called out to the little monk.

"Little monk, make me some fried rice with eggs, add a little chili sauce and a little chopped green onion."

"Alright, Mr. Bao, I'll cook it for you right away!"

Just as the little monk finished answering, Lingzi's voice came from behind Liu Xiaobao.

"I didn't expect Boss Bao to actually like spicy food. But why so little scallion? Eating more scallions makes you smarter. Little monk, add more scallions for Boss Bao!"

Chapter 49 A Single Sentence Awakens Lingzi (Please Collect and Give Flowers)

The innermost private room in 'Night Tokyo', next to the kitchen, is small and even looks more like a storage room.

However, this private room is 'Boss Bao's' exclusive private room. Even when the store is doing well, Lingzi will keep this private room.

Lingzi's goal was to have a place to eat if "Boss Bao" suddenly came.

Of course, it would be more accurate to say that it's Liu Xiaobao's private room now.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao was eating fried rice with pickled vegetables when he spoke to Lingzi, who was sitting opposite him watching him eat.

"When we first came in, we noticed that there weren't as many customers as last time."

Reiko chuckled.

"What, Mr. Bao, do you think it's because I'm not doing a good job? You're blaming the wrong person. You know how many customers come to 'Night Tokyo' for you, Mr. Bao. But you're a busy man, and you rarely come here, maybe once every month or two. Since those customers don't see you, they naturally come to 'Night Tokyo' less often!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and shook his head.

"Reiko, haven't you ever thought about changing those customers, so that they don't come here just because of me, but simply because 'Night Tokyo' is 'Night Tokyo'?"

Reiko was stunned.

As the saying goes, a loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer; some things are best left unsaid.

So after saying just one sentence, Liu Xiaobao didn't say anything more and quietly started eating his meal, leaving Lingzi to think on her own.

Lingzi was a smart woman, and she quickly understood the meaning behind Liu Xiaobao's words.

Liu Xiaobao was trying to wake her up, to tell her to stop living aimlessly and to find the person she used to be who had life goals.

After understanding Liu Xiaobao's intentions, Lingzi smiled.

"It seems that Mr. Bao still thinks I'm not capable enough to run this store well. Fine, I, Lingzi, don't want to be looked down upon by others. Then I'll do my best to show you!"

After Liu Xiaobao finished the last bite of rice, drank a glass of water, and let out a satisfied burp, he smiled and said to Lingzi.

"I'm so full. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now. I hope that when I come back next time, I'll see a different Reiko and a different Tokyo at night."

Lingzi didn't see Liu Xiaobao off at the door; she just leaned against the counter and watched him leave.

Only after watching Liu Xiaobao drive away through the glass did Lingzi mutter to herself.

"Before, Tokyo at night was just your little safe haven; from now on, I will make it your great sail for your long voyage!"

After leaving 'Night Tokyo', Liu Xiaobao did not return to the Peace Hotel, but instead went to Nanjing Road.

Nanjing Road at that time was equivalent to the bustling commercial district of Pudong New Area in the future, and it can be said to be the commercial center that best reflects the economy of the entire Huangpu River area today.

Given the current domestic economic situation and overall environment, the revenue generated by Nanjing Road alone each year is almost equivalent to that of an entire province.

Even Shenzhen, which has been designated a special economic zone by the great leader, cannot compare with Nanjing Road at present.

This demonstrates just how valuable Nanjing Road is.

This is also why Liu Xiaobao wanted to move the company to Nanjing Road.

That afternoon, Liu Xiaobao did nothing but walk along Nanjing Road and soak up its atmosphere.

It wasn't until nearly 6 p.m. that Liu Xiaobao drove to No. 27 on the Bund.

No. 27 on the Bund is the Foreign Trade Building, which is now the Foreign Trade Bureau, also known as the Foreign Trade Corporation, and is where Wang Mingzhu works.

Liu Xiaobao came here to pick up Wang Mingzhu and take her to Zhizhen Garden.

When Liu Xiaobao arrived at the entrance of the foreign trade building, it was just after get off work hours, and he immediately spotted Wang Mingzhu in the crowd.

Because Wang Mingzhu was rushing to her appointment at Zhizhen Garden, her hurried pace was quite eye-catching.

Dudu!

Liu Xiaobao honked the car horn twice to attract Wang Mingzhu's attention, and then waved to her from outside the car window.

When Wang Mingzhu recognized Liu Xiaobao, she immediately smiled at him.

The smile on her face, illuminated by the setting sun, was as radiant as a flower just beginning to bloom in the sunlight.

Wang Mingzhu walked quickly to Liu Xiaobao's car, got in, and then complained at a machine-gun-like pace.

"Mr. Bao, what business do you have on the 27th? Why are you here picking me up? Hurry up and drive! If someone sees us, they'll say I'm too close to the traders and cause misunderstandings. They might even spread rumors that I accepted bribes from you, and then I won't be able to explain myself!"

Liu Xiaobao shook his head slightly, started the car, and said to Wang Mingzhu with a smile.

"Miss Wang, you're being too sensitive. Things that haven't happened can't possibly become reality. Besides, if I wanted to bribe you, would I be stupid enough to deliver it to the entrance of number 27? Moreover, we really did have an appointment to meet at Zhizhen Garden to discuss business. This is official business, so it's perfectly normal for me to come and pick you up!"

After hearing what Liu Xiaobao said, Wang Mingzhu seemed to realize that she had been too sensitive.

Instead of dwelling on the issue, she changed the subject and asked Liu Xiaobao a question.

"By the way, did something happen between you and President Fan?"

Liu Xiaobao was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't mentioned his falling out with President Fan to Wang Mingzhu yet, so he asked curiously, "You know about it?"

"Know what? I don't know! You haven't told me anything, how could I know!"

"Then why are you suddenly asking me this?"

Wang Mingzhu pursed her lips, then spoke up to clear up Liu Xiaobao's doubts.

"Here's the thing, this afternoon, General Manager Fan called me and said that any future exports of the Sanyang brand will be handled directly with me, without going through your company anymore. That's why I suspected something might have happened between you and General Manager Fan."

Chapter 50 Miss Wang's Fury for 'President Bao'

Liu Xiaobao's doubts were dispelled.

He thought about it for a moment. He originally wanted to keep this a secret from Wang Mingzhu, but now that Wang Mingzhu had noticed something was wrong, Liu Xiaobao knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.

Even if he intends to keep it a secret, I'm afraid Wang Mingzhu herself will find out the truth.

After thinking it over, Liu Xiaobao told Wang Mingzhu about the falling out between him and President Fan.

After hearing this, Wang Mingzhu immediately became furious.

"That General Manager Fan is despicable! He's sabotaging us right after we've crossed the river! No way, I won't allow him to treat you like this. I'm going to revoke the export quota for the Sanyang brand!"

Liu Xiaobao gave a wry smile; he knew this would be the outcome.
