My capital is quite large.

Although the "Four Top Celebrities Night" at the Jinling Olympic Sports Center the previous night ended without major incident.

However, in this era of mobile internet where information spreads at lightning speed, the public opinion storm following the end of the gala fermented and spread across major social media platforms with overwhelming force.

Almost immediately at 8:00 AM the next morning, a strikingly red trending topic suddenly appeared and dominated the top spots on Weibo, Yin Fu short video platform, Toutiao, and Baidu's trending searches:

Breaking News! Zhao Liying Directly Mocking Fan Bingbing as "Shameless" at a Gala! A Rare Public Showdown in the Entertainment Industry!

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was in a frenzy of gossip.

As this high-definition, uncensored "sliced ​​video" garnered hundreds of millions of views across the internet, the massive fan bases of the two popular actresses inevitably engaged in a fierce and epic online war of words in various comment sections and supertopics.

Fan Xiaopang's fans, relying on their idol's years of red carpet experience, attacked Zhao Liying's appearance and background in the comments section:

"What right does a vocational school graduate from a rural area, with a round, country-faced look, have to criticize our international superstar, 'Little Fatty'?!"

"Does he really think he can become a god just because of a few period dramas? Even if a chicken flies up to a branch, it's still just a chicken that can't be served on a high table!"

Zhao Liying's fiercely loyal fans, on the other hand, launched a scathing counterattack, each word dripping with venom, striking at her most vulnerable points.

"Oh, so what if our Liying comes from a rural background? At least she climbed up the ladder step by step through honest and upright acting skills!"

"It's a million times better than those sluts who climbed the ladder by being prostitutes to various sugar daddies and rich businessmen!"

"If you're so capable, don't take this trending topic down! Go back and check your master's little brother's birth certificate first, see who exactly caused this messy situation?!"

The online trolls and fans on both sides were engaged in a fierce online battle, digging up all sorts of old dirt and scandals.

......

However, just as the online debate over the billing order of the actresses was raging,

On the terrace of Jinling Zijinshan Manor, Li Feng was leaning back in a recliner with a calm expression.

He didn't take Fan Xiaopang's provocation seriously at all.

What truly made him ponder and weigh his options was the man who had deliberately sat in his seat last night, Xu Pidao.

Li Feng knew better than anyone else in this era just how outrageous and terrifying a pit was hidden beneath Xu Pi's seemingly prosperous real estate empire.

Two trillion RMB in debt!

That was a financial black hole where anyone who touched it would perish.

Li Feng had absolutely no intention of having any financial dealings or other entanglements with this kind of speculative maniac who was destined to be purged by the tide.

However, at this critical juncture, Li Feng cannot be too obvious or drastic in public.

Just like Shen Yishi, the wealthy silk merchant from Jiangnan in "Ming Dynasty 1566".

The small amount of silver on Shen Yishi's account was actually intertwined with the gray interests of the Jiangnan Textile Bureau, various factions, and countless high-ranking officials in the southeastern coastal region.

Xu Pi, who now tops the Forbes list as the richest man, has a vast network of connections behind him.

Its intricate and complex nature makes it a minefield that even Li Feng, who is currently at the height of his power, doesn't need to actively touch for the time being.

In game theory, this is called the "happy party's concession principle".

The best way to avoid trouble is to stay away from him, watch him build his empire from the sidelines, and then watch it crumble.

but……

That being said, it's still a shame that someone would come to your home turf and show off their power in front of all the industry leaders.

An inexplicable sense of irritation inevitably welled up in Li Feng's heart.

"call……"

Li Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, turned his head, and calmly instructed his secretary, Xiao Zhang, who stood by with his head bowed:

"Yu Xi".

"Yes, Mr. Li." Zhang Yuxi quickly bowed.

"Go, call Song Qian and tell her to bring Zhu Xudan along."

......

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of a super five-star hotel in Nanjing.

Having just finished a lavish and sweaty session in the luxurious bathtub, Xu Pipi, whose face was flushed with an unnatural rosy hue from excessive pleasure, was leaning against the headboard, puffing on a cigarette.

In his arms, Fan Xiaopang, who had suffered greatly at the party the night before, now nestled obediently against Boss Xu's chest like a boneless water snake, coquettishly pleading with his alluring eyes:

"Brother Xu...look at Zhao Liying and Haofeng Film and Television, they were clearly ganging up on someone yesterday!"

While tracing circles on Xu's chest with his fingertips, Fan Xiaopang added fuel to the fire with a wronged expression:

"They rigged the game, only giving me third place, and that country bumpkin even pointed his finger at me and called me shameless in front of national cameras!"

"Waaaah... Brother Xu, as the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!"

"She wasn't just insulting me; she was clearly slapping you, the new richest man at Tokyo University, in the face in front of everyone!"

It must be said that Fan Xiaopang's skills in serving men and stirring their emotions are truly top-notch.

Xu Pi, whose bones were almost melting from being pampered by her, had his vanity amplified to an extreme after hearing this extremely damaging pillow talk, and his arrogance soared to the sky.

He grabbed Fan Xiaopang's plump waist, pinched it hard, and snorted arrogantly:

"Don't worry, baby! Within the Dongda area, no one dares to slap me, Xu!"

Xu Pipi exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and grinned maliciously, seemingly unconcerned:

"Does Li Feng think he can get away with hiding in Jinling like a coward? We're all in this industry; we're bound to run into each other again!"

"We'll meet someday!"

"As for the grievances you suffered..."

With a wave of his hand, Xu Pidai immediately displayed the extravagant spending characteristic of a billionaire:

"Regarding Director Feng's film 'Cell Phone 2,' I informed the finance department this afternoon that we'll add another 20 million yuan to your original investment for marketing and distribution!"

"You just go ahead and act without any worries!"

"Golden Horse Awards or Golden Horse Awards... I'll pay any price!"

"So what? I'm going to make you a movie queen, dang dang!"

Upon hearing about the unexpected additional 20 million yuan investment and the promise of a Best Actress award, Fan Xiaopang's grievances vanished, replaced by overwhelming joy. She leaned in coquettishly and kissed Xu Pidai on the cheek.

"Hehehe... I knew it, Xu Ge is the best to me in the whole world~"
