My capital is quite large.

As evening fell, the black Rolls-Royce Phantom smoothly drove into Laimeng Shuixie Mountain, a top-tier villa district in Longhua District, Shenzhen.

As a rare and auspicious location nestled against Tanglang Mountain and facing a reservoir, every detached villa here exudes an aura of wealth and power.

The penthouse that Li Feng bought in full for 80 million yuan is the largest and most spacious luxury residence in the entire Shuixie Mountain area.

As the car door opened, Li Feng handed the carbon fiber fishing rod to the security personnel who were waiting nearby. Carrying the bucket full of live fish, he led Zhang Xinyu into the private elevator on the ground floor of the villa.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, a huge entrance living room with a ceiling height of nearly eight meters came into view.

Through a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a private garden that covers an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

Li Feng strolled to the expensive-looking living water feature pond in the yard, casually poured the few small fish he had caught from the bucket into it, and let them swim around among the valuable imported koi in the pond.

Then, he picked up the fattest and freshest carp from the bucket and handed it to the private chef who was now standing respectfully to the side.

"Old Wei, this one is the fattest. Make it sweet and sour carp tonight, and make it a little sweeter," Li Feng instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Li." Old Wei, dressed in a neat chef's uniform, took the fish with both hands and respectfully withdrew.

This Lao Wei is no ordinary chef; he's the executive chef that Li Feng poached from a five-star hotel in Shenzhen at great expense.

Not only are their culinary skills superb, but most importantly, they have signed a strict confidentiality agreement.

In this super mansion with three floors above ground and one floor below ground, containing a total of eight suites and various audio-visual rooms and gyms, Li Feng naturally has a very high requirement for privacy.

From the initial design stage, the villa strictly distinguished between the "owner's circulation route" and the "service circulation route".

Old Wei and several Filipino maids who are specifically responsible for cleaning usually only move around in the maid's room and the dedicated service corridor in the annex building.

Every evening after 7 p.m., apart from Zhang Xinyu, his personal secretary, all the servants and cooks would leave the main building area, leaving the entire three-story mansion's absolute private space to Li Feng.

Here, no matter how absurd something happens, not a single word of it can get out.

Watching Lao Wei leave through the side door reserved for servants, Li Feng walked to the leather sofa in the living room, sat down, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and dialed the number of Lao Han, the director of the film and television department.

"Hello, Mr. Li." Old Han's respectful voice came immediately from the other end of the phone.

"Old Han, go check out the movie Huayi Brothers is preparing called 'Hot Summer Days'."

"There's a female lead in one of the episodes who acts alongside Nicholas Tse. She used Haofeng's funds to secure the role, and no matter how much others offered, she always paid a higher price."

Old Han paused for a moment: "Hot Summer Days? Mr. Li, this is an ensemble romantic comedy. Although the cast is quite large, the female lead in the segment where Nicholas Tse is acting... doesn't have a particularly large role. Who are you planning to give this role to? Liu Yifei or Yang Mi?"

Li Feng glanced at the art clock on the wall, a meaningful smile curving his lips. "Just finalize the contract, leave the names blank for now."

"Understood, Mr. Li, I'll get on it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Feng glanced at Zhang Xinyu, who was helping to cut fruit in the open kitchen, and smiled faintly.

For the guest arriving tonight, this contract for the lead role in "Hot Summer Days" is the carrot he prepared in advance.

……

It was exactly 8 p.m.

Inside the expansive Waterside Villa, luxurious European-style crystal chandeliers cast a soft, ambiguous glow.

Li Feng had just finished enjoying the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside sweet and sour carp in the huge restaurant on the first floor, and was now sitting on the sofa in the living room, sipping a glass of freshly decanted Romanée-Conti.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell of the villa's outer gate rang precisely at this exact moment.

Zhang Xinyu, who was wearing a burgundy silk nightgown, immediately put down the fruit plate in her hand.

Of course she knew who was standing outside the door. She turned her head to look at the boss, who was as steady as a mountain, and couldn't help but curl up a playful smile, as if she was watching a good show. She walked over in her slippers and pressed the open button on the video intercom.

A few minutes later, the villa's heavy solid wood front door was pushed open.

Tang Yan stood at the door, her breathing somewhat rapid.

She was clearly dressed up carefully today. Underneath a beige fitted trench coat was a cleverly designed high-slit black silk slip dress that perfectly accentuated her long, enviable legs and sweet temperament.

However, the moment she stepped into this breathtakingly luxurious mansion, her feigned composure shattered instantly.

Even someone as accustomed to the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry as she was was overwhelmed by the overwhelming sense of wealth.

"Miss Tang, you're here. Please change your shoes."

Zhang Xinyu smiled and took a pair of brand-new women's slippers from the shoe cabinet, placing them at Tang Yan's feet.

The way he called out "Miss Tang" was casual and natural, as if he were the mistress of this mansion.

"Thank you... thank you, Secretary Zhang." Tang Yan swallowed hard, changed into slippers somewhat awkwardly, and walked into the brightly lit living room.

In the center of the living room, Li Feng held a glass of red wine, his deep gaze resting quietly on her through the dim light.

Tang Yan stopped two meters away from the sofa.

Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and her heart was pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.

"Boss... I've come to report to you." Tang Yan mustered her courage, but her voice trembled slightly.

However, Li Feng remained silent.

He simply sat there quietly, gently swirling the wine in his glass, his deep eyes fixed intently on her.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds...

The living room was deathly silent, with only the ticking of the second hand on the wall clock.

This suffocating silence was like a form of mental torture for Tang Yan, who was already feeling guilty and had come to pay her respects.

She got it.

The boss was waiting for her to speak up, waiting for her to personally tear off the disguise of innocence!

If she can't give the boss a satisfactory answer today, then her pledge of allegiance tonight will be a joke, and she will be forever trampled underfoot by Yang Mi and Liu Shishi at Haofeng Film and Television!

Thinking of this, Tang Yan bit her lower lip tightly, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, suddenly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes no longer darted away, but stared straight into Li Feng's gaze.

Then, he blurted out a classic line that almost made Zhang Xinyu, who was standing to the side, lose her composure:

"Boss... I really want to improve!"

"Pfft—"

Li Feng almost spat out the mouthful of red wine he had just taken a sip of.

He couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his wine glass down on the coffee table, pointed at the sweet-looking girl in front of him who was now speaking of ambition and desire in such a fresh and unconventional way, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Good! Well said, you're really eager to improve!"

Li Feng laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

He had seen countless female celebrities in the entertainment industry who acted like prostitutes while pretending to be virtuous, and he had also seen wild horses like Yang Mi who only completely submitted when driven to the brink of despair.

But it's the first time I've ever seen someone like Tang Yan, who has the most innocent and naive face, speak so frankly and confidently about "seeking unspoken rules" and "seeking advancement"!

This extreme contrast instantly piqued Li Feng's interest.

He stopped laughing and reached out to pat the leather sofa next to him.

"Since Miss Tang is so eager to improve..."

"Then come here and let me see just how deep your awareness really is."

Hearing this, Tang Yan finally felt relieved.

She knew she had crossed that threshold.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and obediently sat down next to Li Feng.

Then, under Zhang Xinyu's ambiguous gaze, this sweetest candy in the entertainment industry unbuttoned her trench coat, revealing herself without reservation to the boss who held her destiny in his hands.

As night deepened, a gentle breeze swept across the lake outside the Shuixie Mountain Villa.

In the luxurious master bedroom that occupied an entire floor, an in-depth lesson on progress was just beginning.

Tang Yan's initiative and enthusiasm, driven by a desire for power and resources, made the transaction exceptionally smooth and successful.

On the spacious double bed, Li Feng repeatedly tasted and chewed this soft candy that willingly had its wrapper removed.

By midnight, Tang Yan couldn't even lift a finger and slumped limply in Li Feng's arms.

Li Feng leaned against the headboard, pulled a document from the bedside table drawer, and tossed it onto Tang Yan's fair and smooth collarbone.

"Hot Summer Days, female lead."

Li Feng's fingers gently traced across Tang Yan's smooth back, his tone carrying a hint of casual condescension, "This is a reward for your progress tonight. Go back and prepare well, and don't tarnish Hao Feng's reputation."

Despite her aching body, Tang Yan looked down and saw the words on the document. Her eyes lit up instantly.

She suddenly leaned forward and kissed Li Feng hard on the cheek without hesitation.

"Thank you, boss! I will definitely work harder to improve!"

Seeing her satisfied expression, so full of fame and fortune, Li Feng chuckled and gently pulled her back into the soft quilt.

The game of capital is always so simple, unpretentious, and boring.
