My capital is quite large.

Chapter 49 The Illusion of Security

Yanjing, Hongxingwu Entertainment Company.

There are less than three hours left before the bank issues its ultimatum.

Chen Fei slumped in the boss's chair, like a walking corpse whose soul had been drained.

In just a few days, he experienced the full spectrum of human emotions. The film and television giants in Beijing seemed to have conspired together, sticking to their asking price of 35 million and refusing to pay a single cent more.

Are they really going to watch helplessly as all their assets are seized by the court and face imprisonment again?

Just as Chen Fei was desperately preparing to sign the letter of intent for Hairun Pictures' opportunistic acquisition, the office door was pushed open.

Liu Yifei, wearing a custom-made trench coat, sunglasses, and a mask, walked in.

Even though she was completely covered up, she couldn't hide her unique, aloof, and refined temperament.

She looked at her godfather, who seemed to have aged ten years, behind the desk, and sighed softly.

"Godfather, please sign. As long as it helps you get through this difficult time, I don't care which company I sign with." Liu Yifei's voice was cold, with a hint of helplessness.

She actually knew all along that her godfather's financial chain had broken down and that he planned to sell her to cover the losses.

She felt grateful to the man who had single-handedly elevated her to stardom.

However, it is undeniable that as she has grown into a beautiful young woman, in the past two years, Chen Fei's gaze towards her has no longer been as purely that of a father and daughter, but has subtly taken on a possessive quality.

Although Chen Fei had something to consider and never actually crossed the line, the pressure he felt was so intense that Liu Yifei could hardly breathe.

Now that Hongxingwu has gone bankrupt and she has been sold off, it may be a relief for her.

Chen Fei's hand was trembling as he held the pen, preparing to write down the humiliating contract of servitude.

"boom--"

The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside without any politeness.

"Selling out the unparalleled goddess of the Chinese entertainment industry for 35 million, Boss Chen really lost a fortune."

Accompanied by a clear, cold male voice, Li Feng, along with Zhang Xinyu and several legal staff, strode into the office, which was filled with an atmosphere of despair.

Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were both stunned, turning to look at the excessively young uninvited guest.

"Who...who are you?" Chen Fei stood up warily.

Li Feng ignored him, walked straight to his desk, and casually slapped a pre-written cash check, along with several documents, in front of Chen Fei.

"Haofeng Networks, Li Feng".

"Forty-five million, all in cash. It will not only cover your bank account deficit but also leave you with five million for retirement."

"Consider this money a thank you to Mr. Chen for nurturing Ms. Liu into such an outstanding person over the years. Take it, fill the hole, and then retire from the business world peacefully."

Forty-five million!

When Chen Fei saw the long string of zeros on the check, his pupils dilated instantly, and his breathing became rapid, like a broken bellows.

He never expected that, just when everyone was kicking him while he was down and trying to strangle him, a divine soldier would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Not only did they fill all his gaps, but they even gave him an extra five million in premium!

"Mr. Li! You...you've really come to my rescue!"

Chen Fei's hands trembled as he grabbed the check, all traces of his former business tycoon demeanor gone. "Sell! I'll sell! I'll have my legal department transfer Yi Fei's contract to you immediately!"

Standing to the side, Liu Yifei looked at the young man in front of him, who seemed to be in control of everything, through his sunglasses.

It turns out that he is Li Feng, the boss of Haofeng, who has recently risen to fame in the industry.

Ten minutes later, all the handover procedures were completed.

Chen Fei took the check and ran to the bank to cover the shortfall, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Only Li Feng, Zhang Xinyu, and Liu Yifei remained in the spacious office.

"Miss Liu, please have a seat."

Li Feng pointed to the sofa, and Zhang Xinyu, with great insight, pulled out a new agency contract from her briefcase and handed it to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei took off his sunglasses and mask, revealing the face that had captivated countless men.

She accepted the contract with grace and gave Li Feng a slight bow: "Thank you, Mr. Li. If it weren't for your intervention today, I'm afraid I would have been sold to Hairun or Huayi Brothers."

"You're welcome, you're worth the price." Li Feng leaned back on the sofa, sizing up this top-tier brand in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Liu Yifei opened the contract.

When he saw the exorbitant penalty of 100 million RMB and the full contract term of ten years, he frowned slightly, but then his gaze fell on the profit-sharing ratio.

"A 50/50 split?"

A hint of surprise finally flashed in Liu Yifei's usually calm and collected phoenix eyes.

She had heard in the industry before that Haofeng Film and Television was very wealthy and generous to newcomers.

But she always thought it was just a publicity stunt, she never expected it to be true!

You should know that back in Hongxingwu, although she was the only artist in the company and all the resources revolved around her, most of the money she earned went into her godfather Chen Fei's pocket to fill the hole in the commercial real estate. The share she could get was pitifully small.

And the new boss who bought her for a sky-high price of 45 million immediately gave her top-notch treatment with a 50/50 split!

"What? You think the penalty for breach of contract is too high?" Li Feng asked casually, looking at her expression.

"No, the contract is fair. Mr. Li spent a lot of money to buy me, so naturally he needs to mitigate the risks."

Liu Yifei is a clear-headed person.

She had endured her godfather's almost pathological possessiveness, so a new boss with greater financial strength who only talks about business value was undoubtedly the best outcome for her.

Without any hesitation, Liu Yifei picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.

From then on, Li Feng completely took possession of the most dazzling and most difficult piece of the puzzle among the post-85 actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry!

……

The crew of the TV series "Meteor Shower" in Xiamen, Fujian.

As filming neared its end, the production schedule slowed down slightly.

That noon, Yang Yang and Li Xin, who had just finished filming in the morning, were sitting in a corner of the rest area, holding their boxed lunches and scrolling through their phones.

The two have recently caught up with the trend, and like to check out gossip and trending topics on their newly launched Weibo account whenever they have free time.

"Holy crap!"

Yang Yang suddenly tugged at Li Xin's arm, almost spitting out the food in his mouth, "Xin Xin, look at the top trending topic on Weibo! Our company has made another official announcement!"

Li Xin quickly turned her head away.

The official Weibo account of Haofeng Film & Television just released a major update, accompanied by a stunning official announcement poster.

Welcome "Fairy Sister" Liu Yifei to the Haofeng family! The next ten years will be a dazzling journey together! @LiuYifei

Following this, Liu Yifei himself, who had just opened a Weibo account, reposted and responded:

Grateful for this encounter, a new beginning. Hello everyone, I am Liu Yifei, an actor at Haofeng Film & Television.

These two Weibo posts were published in less than ten minutes, and the number of comments and reposts quickly exceeded 100,000! The entire Chinese entertainment industry's fan circle completely exploded!

"Oh my god..."

Li Xin was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks back into her lunchbox. "Liu Yifei?! The boss actually signed her too?!"

"Just how rich is this boss?! He's inhumanly wealthy!"

"I heard from some senior figures in the industry that Liu Yifei's godfather, Chen Fei, is a powerful figure in Beijing's elite circles with influence and assets worth billions! And his company only promotes her; how could they possibly let her go?"

"Hey, what big shot? He's long gone."

Yang Yang's gossipy nature kicked in. He looked around and lowered his voice to Li Xin, saying, "I've been chatting with some veteran extras these past few days, and they're really well-informed! I heard that her sugar daddy went to jail last year for a financial dispute, and after he got out, his cash flow dried up. He was being pressured by the bank for debts recently and almost jumped off a building. I guess he had no other choice but to sell our fairy sister to pay off his debts."

Hearing these inside stories, Li Xin nodded as if he understood but not quite.

But her attention quickly shifted from gossip to another issue that concerned her more.

Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi... plus herself.

Li Xin silently calculated in his heart, and the huge weight on his heart was finally lifted!

She breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that even the sea breeze in Xiamen had become exceptionally refreshing.

"Including the 'Fairy Sister,' our company now has a total of five top-tier beauties..."

Li Xin patted his chest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, his worry completely disappearing.

"No matter how much of a womanizer the boss is, or how powerful and influential he is, he's still just a normal man in his early twenties."

"Even the donkeys in the production team couldn't withstand this kind of exploitation, right? Five of them—if he really wanted to take advantage of them, his body couldn't handle it!"

In her opinion, the boss signed so many top beauties simply for the sake of the company's business expansion and making money.

Even if the boss really had that kind of intention, with Liu Yifei and Yang Mi as shining examples, it would never be her turn, the most inconspicuous nobody!

"Phew—I'm completely safe now."

Li Xin picked up her chopsticks, her appetite whetted, and happily stuffed a piece of braised pork into her mouth.
