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

If Liu Xiaobao saw this scene, he would definitely be glad that he didn't force Zhou Huimin to stay tonight.

Judging from what Zhou Huimin said, she may not have actually been practicing singing until she lost track of time, but rather she deliberately practiced until so late to test Liu Xiaobao's character.

However, if Liu Xiaobao saw this scene, he would probably be happier than anything else.

Zhou Huimin intentionally tested Liu Xiaobao's character. What does this indicate?

This suggests that Vivian Chow may also have feelings for Liu Xiaobao!

Otherwise, since they had no grudges against each other, Zhou Huimin would have had no reason to test his character.

And this is indeed the case.

Even the "Jade Girl Leader" is a woman, and Vivian Chow is not a real fairy; she too has moments when she is tempted by worldly desires.

Although Zhou Huimin could not say that she had fallen in love with Liu Xiaobao, after so many interactions, she could not deny that she had developed some affection for him.

Especially during their last phone call, when Liu Xiaobao asked her if she had missed him, Zhou Huimin's heart was indeed moved.

However, Zhou Huimin knew too little about Liu Xiaobao, so she could only use this method to test Liu Xiaobao's character.

And now... Liu Xiaobao has passed Zhou Huimin's first test!

The only regret is that Liu Xiaobao is unaware of Zhou Huimin's current feelings; otherwise, his path to marriage would likely be much shorter!

the next day.

After observing the stock market for a while and learning that there hadn't been a situation where more than a dozen stocks had risen sharply at the same time, Liu Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even though I spent more than 20 days back in Pujiang, I still didn't miss Morgan Stanley International's next round of fundraising.

"Just as I expected, Morgan Stanley International Fund, this big player, always waits for the market to recover before daring to make another move after it has finished its previous one."

Finding that the situation was roughly as he had expected, Liu Xiaobao felt relieved.

He guessed that Morgan Stanley International Fund might not make a move for another ten days or so, so he stopped paying attention to the stock market. After tidying himself up, he called Su Jie and went out together.

Having arrived in Hong Kong, Liu Xiaobao naturally wanted to visit his own entertainment company.

He wouldn't interfere with the entertainment company's daily operations, but he still needed to understand the company's situation, especially Xuezhi's current condition.

When Liu Xiaobao arrived at Tianbao Entertainment Company, Xuezhi was in her office discussing investment with a director. Instead of disturbing her, Liu Xiaobao went to his own office, which was usually empty, to wait.

About twenty minutes later, Xuezhi knocked on the door and came in: "When did you arrive in Hong Kong, Mr. Bao?"

"I arrived yesterday, Xuezhi. You look a little tired. Has business been busy at the company lately?"

"Yes, ever since the news of Mr. Bao's investment in 'The New Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain' spread in the industry, many film companies that need to find investors have come to our company. Recently, our company has invested in more than a dozen films, but none of them have invested too much money."

Xuezhi paused for a moment, then smiled at Liu Xiaobao and continued.

"I have to say, Mr. Bao, it was really wise of you to fully fund the production of 'The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain' back then. With the free publicity from McDonald's, it really boosted our company's brand awareness. We hardly had to go out and solicit business ourselves; film companies that didn't have enough funds came to us on their own initiative."

After listening to Xuezhi's words, Liu Xiaobao nodded: "You need to take care of yourself and not overwork yourself. You can never earn enough money, but your health is the most important thing!"

Xuezhi paused for a moment before replying, "The company has only been operating for a short time, and I wasn't very familiar with this industry before. I have to work hard right now, otherwise I'd be letting you down."

Some things are best left unsaid; repeating them too many times will distort their meaning. Liu Xiaobao understood this, so he changed the subject and said, "Xuezhi, since the company isn't short of funds, you could try to be a little bolder. If you're too conservative with your investments, you won't make any money."

Xuezhi calmed down, seemingly pondering Liu Xiaobao's words.

Five seconds later, Xuezhi spoke again: "I understand. I will try to increase the investment share to strive for greater benefits for the company."

A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. Seeing that Xuezhi understood his advice, Liu Xiaobao didn't continue to ramble on.

"Seeing that you and the company are doing well puts my mind at ease. I will be staying in Hong Kong for a while longer this time. If you need anything, feel free to call me. I'll be leaving now."

Having learned about Xuezhi and the entertainment company's situation, Liu Xiaobao didn't linger. After saying goodbye to Xuezhi, he left with Su Jie.

As planned, Liu Xiaobao had Su Jie take him to Li Jiaxin's residence.

Upon arrival, Su Jie first went inside for a look around. After confirming that there was no danger, he returned to his mountaintop mansion.

After spending more than twenty days in a life of abstinence in Pujiang, Liu Xiaobao no longer cared whether it was day or night when he saw Li Jiaxin, his true lover!

He immediately carried the beautiful superstar Li Jiaxin upstairs, and the two of them "galloped" around the house all day long, but Liu Xiaobao was still a little unsatisfied.

However, as evening approached, both of them got hungry and had to go downstairs to eat.

Because the maids here at Li Jiaxin's place were all carefully selected by Su Jie, they were all very tight-lipped.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao never hides himself when he comes over. At this moment, he sits directly opposite Li Jiaxin and has dinner together.

After serving the food, the maid tactfully left to avoid the situation.

Li Jiaxin then acted like a virtuous wife, personally pouring Liu Xiaobao a glass of wine and then serving him a bowl of soup.

Liu Xiaobao gave Li Jiaxin an approving look.

After eating a little, Liu Xiaobao asked Li Jiaxin, "How's the shop search going?"

“I’ve looked at shops in more than a dozen locations recently, and I’ve narrowed it down to three. But I’m having trouble deciding which one to choose. Mr. Bao, could you come with me sometime when you have some free time and give me some advice?”

Liu Xiaobao was not angry that Li Jiaxin couldn't even decide on a shop.

Liu Xiaobao also knew that Li Jiaxin had no prior business experience and was basically a business novice, so Li Jiaxin's knowledge of business needed to be improved.

Considering he still had time in the next few days, Liu Xiaobao didn't refuse Li Jiaxin. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Li Jiaxin smiled happily and said, "President Bao, you're so good to me!"

"Is this what you call being good to you? Jiaxin, you're too easily satisfied!"

Li Jiaxin put away her smile and looked at Liu Xiaobao seriously, replying, "From the day I decided to be your mistress, Mr. Bao, I was already prepared to be one. As long as you can come and keep me company occasionally, I will be content. Now, not only are you opening a jewelry store for me, but you can also personally accompany me to choose shops, so I am naturally even more satisfied."

... ... 0

Liu Xiaobao could tell that Li Jiaxin wasn't lying, and he couldn't help but admire her even more.

"Jiaxin, don't worry. Although I can't marry you, as long as you are loyal to me, I will treat you as my woman. I will do my best to fulfill your wishes."

Tears welled up in Li Jiaxin's beautiful eyes as she looked at Liu Xiaobao with deep affection.

"With your words, Mr. Bao, I would gladly die for you, even if it meant dying for you right now. Don't worry, Mr. Bao, I, Li Jiaxin, will never fall for any other man in this life but you!"

After saying that, Li Jiaxin seemed to remember something and added something else.

"I know that my previous visit to the Peninsula Hotel to ask you for the lead role must have made you doubt my character. So I understand that just verbally professing loyalty now won't convince you. Just wait and see how I perform in the future, and I promise I won't let you down!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled.

"Let's eat first, fill your stomach, and then I'll take good care of you later!"

Liu Xiaobao's interruption finally stopped Li Jiaxin from shedding tears.

She naturally understood how much Liu Xiaobao wanted to pamper her, and her pretty face flushed slightly as she nodded gently: "Mr. Bao, I'm already full!"

Liu Xiaobao gave a wicked smile.

"Now that you're full, it's my turn to eat you..."

As he spoke, Liu Xiaobao scooped Li Jiaxin up in his arms and slowly carried her upstairs...

Liu Xiaobao kept his word.

The next afternoon, Liu Xiaobao accompanied Li Jiaxin to see the three shops she had mentioned.

Finally, Liu Xiaobao made the final decision and selected two shops for Li Jiaxin.

Then Liu Xiaobao directly contacted the owner and bought the two shops on the spot at twice the market price.

Li Jiaxin was not surprised by Liu Xiaobao's extravagant act, but she was somewhat puzzled.

After the transaction was completed, Liu Xiaobao took Li Jiaxin and Su Jie to the shop in Central. At this time, Li Jiaxin asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Mr. Bao, why did you choose two shops for me at once? And why buy them instead of renting them?"

Liu Xiaobao patiently instructed Li Jiaxin.

“If you want to open a branded jewelry store, one shop is too small. The two shops I've chosen for you are both ideal locations for a jewelry store in the ‘630’ area. The one on Jade Street is surrounded by jewelry shops, clustered together. Although the competition there is fierce, it's still very effective for brand promotion. The one in Central is located in a financial and commercial district. The people working there generally have the purchasing power to buy jewelry, so sales should be good.”

At this point, Liu Xiaobao paused, looked up at the currently empty shop, and then continued.

"As for why we bought the shop instead of renting, the reason is simple: buying is more cost-effective than renting! Moreover, when you own a shop, it's best to keep the property rights in your own hands to avoid being forced to move the shop in case of any unforeseen circumstances. That would seriously affect the customer base you've built up over time. If you move the shop, those old customers might stop coming back. So if you want to run a brand store long-term, it's best to open it in your own property."

Li Jiaxin finally understood Liu Xiaobao's intention, but she was somewhat worried at the moment.

"But Mr. Bao, I have never had any business experience before, and now I'm opening two stores at the same time. What if I don't do a good job?"

Liu Xiaobao chuckled and retorted, "You're a big star, you wouldn't actually want to sell jewelry in a shop, would you?"

"It's not impossible, but I don't plan to act anymore anyway!"

Liu Xiaobao shook his head and laughed, "Regardless of whether you plan to act again in the future, you are already a big star. It's not appropriate for you to sell jewelry in the store. Otherwise, people who come into the store will only be looking at you and won't care about buying jewelry. Jiaxin, you only need to be responsible for advertising your own jewelry store. As for managing the operation of the two stores, leave it to the professional sales staff!"

"Mr. Bao, I understand what to do!"

Liu Xiaobao nodded, then turned to Su Jie behind him and said.
