My capital is quite large.

In late April, the "Weibo Night: National Voting for the Four Emerging Actresses" event, initiated by Haofeng Weibo, came to a close in full swing.

This idol-making campaign, which deeply tied voting rights to Weibo's daily active users, not only completely ignited the entire online fan community, but also forcefully seized the discourse power from Tencent and several major traditional portal websites.

Fans frantically registered multiple accounts and retweeted posts to garner votes for their idols, causing Weibo's servers to nearly crash due to traffic overload.

Currently, the top four positions on the list have been largely established.

Liu Yifei, affectionately known as "Fairy Sister," has secured the top spot with an overwhelming lead thanks to her immense popularity accumulated over the years.

Following closely behind is Yang Mi, who recently gained immense popularity and generated a lot of buzz even before the release of "Chinese Paladin 3," ranking second.

The third place goes to Wang Luodan, who rose to fame with the TV series "Struggle".

Fourth place goes to Huang Shengyi, who is struggling to stay afloat thanks to her status as a "Star Girl" and the buzz surrounding her.

……

In Hengdian, Zhejiang, the entire crew of "Chinese Paladin 3" has finally wrapped up filming.

The atmosphere at the wrap party that evening was exceptionally lively.

After a few rounds of drinks, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi, these three "family members" of Haofeng Film and Television, naturally gathered in the same corner booth.

"Honey, congratulations! You're firmly in second place in the Weibo poll, so you've definitely secured your title as one of the 'Four Little Actresses'."

Tang Yan picked up a glass of juice, her tone sincere, but she couldn't hide her deep envy.

After all, in this industry, fame and representative works are the foundation for survival.

Although Yang Mi is young, she debuted as a child star and has a solid number of works. Now, with the backing of Haofeng Film and Television, she can be said to be enjoying great success.

Yang Mi gently touched her glass, a complex mix of emotions and smugness flashing in her eyes that only she could understand.

"Tangtang, you're not bad either. Your votes are in the top ten. Once our 'Chinese Paladin 3' airs, your Zixuan will definitely become a hit." Yang Mi said politely to comfort her.

However, these words only intensified Tang Yan's heartache.

She actually debuted earlier than Liu Shishi and Li Xin, and even worked as an Olympic babysitter.

But after all these years of wasted time, she still doesn't have a single truly representative work that can carry the show and achieve widespread national recognition.

In this industry where youth is a major factor, not having a signature work is like walking a tightrope.

Just then, Liu Shishi, who was standing to the side, cupped her cheeks and happily shared her good news:

"By the way, Honey Sister, Tangtang, before filming wrapped up today, CEO Cai spoke to me privately. She said that after I rest for a while, I'll be joining the cast of 'Scarlet Heart' soon!"

"Scarlet Heart? Isn't that a female-centric time-travel drama that Tangren Media is preparing?" Tang Yan was taken aback.

"Yes!" Liu Shishi smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "Actually, Tangren originally wanted me to play a supporting role to another newcomer in the drama. But... guess what? Our big boss, President Li, stepped in! He increased Tangren's investment and specifically named me as the lead actress, Ma'ertai Ruoxi!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan could barely maintain her smile; her heart felt like it was filled with the bitterness of a long-smelling vinegar.

She silently calculated in her heart:

Liu Yifei was suddenly hired by Haofeng, and the boss immediately cast her as the female lead in director Tsui Hark's film.

Yang Mi not only ranked second among the four little actresses, but also landed the second female lead role in director Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock", paving the way for her big screen career.

Liu Shishi also had a major female lead role in "Scarlet Heart," which was funded by her boss.

Even Li Xin, a young actress with no experience, has a lead role in the sequel to "Meteor Shower" waiting for her!

Throughout the company, there are four beauties, five leading actresses... everyone has top-tier resources and representative works arranged by the boss.

Only her, Tang Yan!

Apart from Zi Xuan, the third female lead in "Chinese Paladin 3", she is currently penniless and has no future to speak of!

"So this is what it feels like to have no resources."

Tang Yan gripped the glass tightly in her hand, looked up, and caught a glimpse of Yang Mi's ambiguous smile out of the corner of her eye.

In that instant, Tang Yan suddenly understood.

Why would a boss give you resources for no reason? In this industry, if you want something that others can't get, you have to pay a price that others can't pay!

Liu Shishi was lucky; Tangren Media already had a drama series, and the boss just went with the flow.

However, Tang Yan is in a situation where she has no foundation. If she doesn't take the initiative, she will be left far behind by her good sisters sooner or later!

"Mimi, Shishi, I suddenly feel a little unwell. It might be because I caught a chill earlier. I'm going back to the hotel to rest."

Tang Yan suddenly stood up, made an excuse, and hurriedly grabbed her bag.

Watching Tang Yan's impatient departure, Yang Mi picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and a knowing, cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

She knew that her good friend was about to go and pay her respects to the powerful figures in the area.

……

A few days later, in Shenzhen.

A secluded and beautiful private lakeside in Nanshan District.

A gentle breeze in early summer rippled across the water.

Li Feng, dressed in a loose and comfortable casual linen shirt and wearing sunglasses, was sitting lazily on a folding fishing chair by the lake.

Holding an expensive carbon fiber fishing rod in his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was long and even, and he was secretly practicing the Taoist breathing and health preservation method in "The Origin and Flow of Qi".

Having lived two lives, Li Feng, who possesses the mature soul of a 39-year-old, was surprised to discover during this time that he had actually come to enjoy fishing, a sport that young people consider exclusive to the middle-aged and elderly.

Looking at the floating buoys on the water, his mind is as still as water. This not only keeps him away from the deceit and treachery of the business world, but also perfectly matches his daily morning health regimen of strengthening his body and nourishing his vital energy.

"Boss, you're amazing! You handled that big fish so well!"

Wearing a tight-fitting yoga outfit that showed off her stunning figure, Zhang Xinyu was squatting down beside him, diligently throwing fish bait into the fish basket, occasionally massaging Li Feng's shoulders, handing him chilled watermelon juice, and encouraging him in a sweet voice.

Just as the float on the water suddenly sank, and a big fish was about to bite the hook,

"Ring ring ring—!"

A sudden, urgent cell phone ringtone rang out on the tranquil lakeside.

With a splash, the big fish that was about to be hooked was startled, and with a sudden flick of its tail, it broke free of the hook and escaped.

Li Feng frowned, and his previously calm expression instantly darkened.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Xinyu, who was frantically rummaging through her yoga bag for her phone.

He reached out and grabbed Zhang Xinyu's soft breast, twisting it slightly.

"ah……!"

Zhang Xinyu cried out in pain, her peach blossom eyes instantly welling up with tears as she looked at Li Feng with a mixture of grievance and pleading.

"Next time you come fishing with me, remember to silence your phone," Li Feng said casually as he released his grip on the phone.

"Xinyu got it, boss, don't be angry..." Zhang Xinyu blushed and rubbed her face, then quickly looked down at her phone screen, her expression slightly changing.

"Boss, it's Tang Yan calling. She said she's finished filming her movie and is now in Shenzhen. She'd like to meet with you in person to give you a rundown of her upcoming work."

Upon hearing the name, Li Feng looked at the empty fishing hook, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Work? An actress came to Shenzhen to report to the big boss, but what kind of work was she reporting? Everyone knew perfectly well.

It seems that after seeing Yang Mi and Liu Shishi obtain resources, this sweet Tangtang finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to come and pledge her allegiance.

Tell her I'm not free during the day.

Li Feng rebaited the fish, cast the line back into the lake, and said in a lazy and casual tone, "Let her visit my new home tonight."

"Okay, boss." Zhang Xinyu obediently replied and went to the side to return the call.

Li Feng looked at the rippling lake surface and was in a great mood.

Yes, he moved.

Last month, Fruit Ninja became a huge hit overseas, and with the settlement payment from Apple, Haofeng Network had a massive amount of cash in its account of more than 200 million yuan!

Money in an account is just a string of dead numbers. As the sole owner of a wholly-owned company, Li Feng naturally wouldn't treat himself unfairly.

The original 8 million yuan Shenzhen Bay No. 1 penthouse, while considered luxurious, was clearly no longer worthy of Haofeng's current status as a multi-billion yuan tycoon.

So, with a stroke of his pen, he spent 80 million yuan in cash to buy a large, detached lakeside villa in "Laimeng Shuixie Mountain," a top-tier affluent area in Shenzhen, offering excellent privacy!

The car in the garage was also upgraded, replaced by a Rolls-Royce Phantom that exuded a powerful aura.

Externally, Lao Han and the finance department explained that the company is growing larger but lacks substantial assets to support it. Spending nearly 100 million yuan to buy land, villas, and luxury cars under the company's name was not only for tax deductions but also to make Haofeng Network, a pure internet company, appear well-established, thus giving outsiders and partners greater confidence.

But this explanation can only fool outsiders.

In Li Feng's mind, this is the purest form of enjoyment!

It's my own wholly-owned company, I bought a villa with my own money and I live in it. I'm happy with it, so why do I need so many high-sounding excuses?

"I wonder if this candy that was delivered to my door tonight is sweet enough."

Li Feng took a deep breath of the fresh lakeside air, feeling the warm current surging in his dantian, and a sense of anticipation rose within him for the approaching night.
