My capital is quite large.

In July, the air in Shenzhen seems to be distorted by the heat.

However, even more frenzied than the weather was the audition site for the South China region of "The Voice of China" located in the Shenzhen Gymnasium.

"I'll love you even if it kills me! I won't be satisfied until I've given it my all!!"

A young man dressed in a slick, disreputable style, with dyed yellow hair, was holding a microphone and screaming at the top of his lungs on stage.

The distorted sound, comparable to scratching a blackboard with a fingernail, echoed throughout the venue through the high-powered speakers, a devastating blow to the human auditory nerve.

Li Feng, sitting in the center of the judges' panel, had a livid face and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, he pressed the red elimination light in front of him, and the piercing buzzing finally interrupted the pig-like howling.

"Stop! Next!" Li Feng shouted through gritted teeth, rubbing his temples which felt like they were about to explode.

This is the third day since the auditions for "The Voice of China" began.

Back in the conference room, Li Feng announced with great enthusiasm that he would "personally take command." After all, this was Haofeng Film and Television's first foray into the variety show industry, and also a nuclear bomb to attract viewers to the future streaming empire. He originally wanted to personally oversee the quality of the first batch of grassroots contestants.

But to everyone's surprise, after the threshold for the nationwide open selection was lowered to the lowest level, what followed was such a chaotic and hellish scene!

In these three days, he heard an old man sing the national anthem with the flavor of Errenzhuan (a traditional Chinese folk art form), saw a spirited young man singing and dancing on stage and even tripping and knocking out his front tooth, and saw a bizarre person who was tone-deaf but insisted on crying to the judges about his musical dreams...

After three days of auditions, he couldn't find a single normal person with a distinctive voice among the tens of thousands of contestants!

"Is this even humane?"

Looking at the long, seemingly endless queue of people waiting to take the exam at the backstage entrance, Li Feng's last bit of patience finally ran out.

He's a business tycoon worth billions, how precious is his time? Why waste it in this stadium with barely enough air conditioning, listening to these monsters torture his ears?

"Old Han!"

Li Feng suddenly stood up and slammed the contestant scoring sheet in his hand into the arms of Lao Han, the film and television department director who was listening in a daze.

"Mr. Li?" Old Han snapped out of his daze and looked at his boss blankly.

"From now on, you're in charge of the auditions! Hire a few more knowledgeable music teachers for the initial screening, and if all else fails, poach talent from music academies and bars! Don't just throw any random nobody in my way!"

"I only look at the final top 50 list from the blind auditions! You're in charge of handling all the dirty work and hard labor before that!"

After saying this, Li Feng, under Lao Han's dumbfounded gaze, took Zhang Xinyu and fled this noisy sea of ​​suffering without looking back.

……

Stepping out of the stadium and into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom with the air conditioning blasting, Li Feng felt as if the world had finally become quiet.

But the irritability caused by those three days of piercing mental noise still lingered in my chest.

"Boss, shall we go back to the company now?" Zhang Xinyu, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and asked softly.

"Why go back to the company? Go home."

Li Feng leaned back in his leather chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

A sweet and pretty face suddenly appeared in my mind.

If I think about it, it's been a while since I've pampered that big candy.

"Go, call Tang Yan."

"Have her come directly to the Waterside Villa tonight. She's had a headache from those lousy voices these past few days, she needs something sweet to cheer herself up."

"Okay, boss." A knowing glint flashed in Zhang Xinyu's eyes as she obediently took out her phone and started dialing.

……

As night falls, the lights are on.

Inside the top-tier detached villas of Shuixie Mountain, luxurious crystal chandeliers cast an ambiguous, warm light.

When Li Feng came out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, he immediately saw Tang Yan standing awkwardly in the middle of the living room.

She was wearing a large beige trench coat, but the belt was not tied tightly. With her breathing, it opened slightly, revealing a breathtaking view of her inner world.

Hearing Li Feng's footsteps, Tang Yan bit her rosy lips, a hint of reckless shyness flashing in her eyes.

Grasp the edge of the trench coat with both hands and slowly pull it open to both sides, letting the coat slide down onto the wool carpet at your feet.

Beneath the trench coat was a daring black bodysuit of stockings!

The almost completely openwork fishing net material tightly wraps around long legs and a slender waist, with key parts faintly visible, elevating the contrast between innocence and allure to a dazzling degree.

Looking at the stunning painting before him, Li Feng's frustration from the audition process vanished instantly.

"It seems you really want to improve."

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Feng's lips as he strode over to the sofa and sat down.

With a blush, Tang Yan obediently walked to Li Feng's feet and knelt on the carpet like a docile kitten, gently pressing her cheek against his knee.

"The boss has been so busy lately, he hasn't had time for anyone..."

"Every time I see Mimi and Yifei at the company, I feel a pang of sadness."

"Let's not even talk about Yifei, she had a high starting point. But Mimi... she just finished filming Director Feng's movie and then went straight into Director Chen's movie crew. I'm so envious of them."

These words, though seemingly spoken with a sense of grievance, were in fact an attempt to gain leverage for himself.

After what happened with Yang Mi, Tang Yan had long since seen through the survival rules of this company—the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the daring woman gets roles.

She's about to join the cast of the Hong Kong TV series "Hot Summer Days," but it's an ensemble piece, and it's not quite as good as the top-tier projects Yang Mi has in mind.

She wants to take this opportunity tonight to get a clear answer about her future!

"Envious of them?"

Li Feng's fingers slid slowly down her slender neck to the edge of her alluring black fishnet stockings: "As long as you're sensible, you'll have everything they have."

"Go to Hong Kong and finish filming 'Hot Summer Days' to get your face recognized."

"Next year, I will personally help you become one of the 'Four Little Actresses'."

"Once this movie finishes filming, the film and television department will tailor-make a hit urban drama with a strong female lead for you."

A leading lady tailor-made for her! Next year's four rising stars!

Upon hearing the boss's straightforward promise, Tang Yan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, and ecstasy instantly overwhelmed all reason.

"Thank you, boss! You're so kind!"

Tang Yan couldn't wait to express her gratitude through her actions.

"Knock, knock."

Just as the fire was about to ignite completely, there was a sudden knock on the half-closed side door of the living room.

Tang Yan froze, her movements halting in mid-air, and turned her head away with an embarrassed expression.

Zhang Xinyu walked in quickly, holding a vibrating phone in her hand.

Seeing Tang Yan's daring attire, a hint of disdain flashed in Zhang Xinyu's eyes, but her face remained that of a professional and respectful secretary.

"Boss, I'm so sorry to disturb your rest."

"It was an urgent call from Lao Chen in the game department. He said that all the underlying optimizations and device adaptations for Subway Surfers have been completed and it can be submitted to the Apple Store at any time. He doesn't dare to make a decision on his own and wants to ask you to set a specific release date."

"Speak," Li Feng said, holding the phone to his ear.

"Mr. Li! Subway Surfers is a success!"

On the other end of the phone, Old Chen's voice was a little loud with excitement, "The 2D rendering of 3D visual effects is perfect, it runs silky smooth on existing iPhone models, and there will be absolutely no lag or overheating!"

"What are your plans for the launch date?" Li Feng asked calmly.

While making this business call involving tens of millions of US dollars, Li Feng's other hand was not idle.

He casually patted Tang Yan's waist, then grasped her slender waist with his large hand.

Under Tang Yan's astonished yet shy gaze, Li Feng turned her over and pressed her against the sofa armrest.

"Well……"

Tang Yan quickly bit her lower lip tightly, gripping the leather edge of the sofa with both hands, forcibly swallowing back the soft cry that was about to escape her throat.

Under the watchful eye of another female secretary, while the boss was on a work call...

"Mr. Li, if we submit the application for review this Friday, it can be simultaneously released on the global App Store next Wednesday. Does that timeframe work for you?" On the phone, Old Chen was completely unaware of the exciting developments unfolding on his boss's end.

"Okay, let's set it for next Wednesday. We can coordinate the publicity and Weibo efforts just like last time."

Li Feng's voice was steady and calm, without even the slightest disturbance in his breathing, but his actions began a merciless assault.

With the impact from behind, Tang Yan's body undulated on the sofa like waves.

She could only bury her face deep in the sofa cushions, desperately suppressing her voice, afraid that Old Chen on the other end of the phone would notice something amiss.

"By the way, Old Chen."

While enjoying the sweetness and compliance of this piece of candy, Li Feng continued to ask, "What's the current progress of the true 3D engine optimization for Temple Run? Will it be ready by the end of this year?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Li!" Old Chen assured him confidently over the phone, "The experience with the pseudo-3D game 'Subway Surfers' has given us a lot of inspiration. We've found a breakthrough in the underlying memory release issue! Plus, Apple will definitely release a new model at the end of the year, and with the hardware upgrade, 'Temple Run' will definitely be available by the end of the year!"

"Okay, don't let me down."

With a "snap," Li Feng hung up the phone and tossed it onto the coffee table.

Zhang Xinyu, who had been standing quietly to the side like an invisible person, saw that her boss had finished his business and was now completely in his private time.

He quietly left the living room, closing the heavy double doors behind him.

Having followed Li Feng for so long, she has learned a lot.

When the boss is in the mood to indulge in other women, that's definitely not the time to be jealous.
