My capital is quite large.

Upon hearing the general counsel's exciting report, Li Feng's expression remained largely unchanged.

This was the outcome he had anticipated.

In Nanshan, penguins are major taxpayers who wield absolute power, so the scales of justice naturally tip in their favor.

But now, the battlefield has shifted to Nanjing! Haofeng Network is a super unicorn that the provincial and municipal governments protect like the apple of their eye!

The net inflow of foreign exchange is hundreds of millions every month, thousands of high-paying jobs are created, and there is a huge industrial park that has just been allocated to develop smartphones...

In Nanjing, a city steeped in history and the ancient capital of six dynasties, no matter how far your penguin's reach extends, you can't make any waves here!

Fighting on home soil means overwhelming the enemy with superior administrative level and economic foundation!

"Well done."

Li Feng calmly instructed, "Winning the case is only the first step; don't get too excited."

"Get all our game interaction patents, exclusive copyrights for anime and tokusatsu, and derivative agreements for online novels filed with the Provincial High Court and the Intellectual Property Office!"

......

After seeing the legal director off, Li Feng raised his wrist to check the time.

It was exactly 6 p.m.

Looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky, Li Feng sighed helplessly in his heart.

"I actually worked overtime until six o'clock... I'm such a hard-working boss."

Today, we not only analyzed the underlying logic of four new mobile games, but also finalized the strategic direction for web games, and even listened to a report from the legal department.

This high workload was unprecedented for him, making him a true "model worker".

"Boss, you've had a hard day." Zhang Xinyu walked behind Li Feng and massaged his shoulders.

"Would you like to go home now? I'll make you some nourishing soup so you can relax."

Li Feng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the massage from his secretary, but the image of a charming woman from Jiangnan floated into his mind.

It's been a while since I last saw her.

I kind of miss that cool and alluring charm.

"Give Ni Ni a call and tell her to come over and 'work overtime' tonight."

……

In the heart of Nanjing, in a luxurious river-view penthouse.

Ni Ni was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, holding a script with slightly curled edges—"Love is Not Blind" in her hand.

This is the first movie she just finished filming, and it's also the first time she's truly played the leading lady in her career.

Moreover, there were two other scripts on the coffee table next to it.

One is Jiang Wen's film "Let the Bullets Fly," in which she has a small cameo role.

The other one is the second female lead in the road comedy "Lost in Thailand," which is scheduled to start filming soon!

Looking at these three substantial film resources, Ni Ni felt a surge of relief.

Although these three films did not have particularly large budgets, they seemed to lack the prestige of Director Zhang's epic productions that were touted as costing "600 million yuan".

But Ni Ni is a smart woman.

She has been keeping an eye on what's happening in her circle these past two days.

Although producer Zhang announced the selection of a new "Zhang Yimou Girl" a month ago, ... to this day, there is still no sign of the start of filming for "The Flowers of War"!

I heard that because the funding chain has not been able to close, the entire project has been indefinitely stalled!

"Mr. Li is right, it's a bottomless pit..."

Ni Ni looked at the movie script in her hand, which was about to be released, and felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Li Feng.

If she had foolishly stayed on that dilapidated ship, she would probably still be wasting her youth in a closed training camp.

And now?

With a top-tier contract offering a 50/50 split, she not only made her debut as the leading lady, but also had a seamless flow of subsequent opportunities.

Once these movies are released, Ni Ni's name will be firmly established on the big screen!

"All of this was given to me by him..."

Ni Ni murmured to herself.

Although it was bought in a way that was almost coerced, the price and protection that Li Feng offered were extremely generous.

"Buzzing—"

The phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated.

Ni Ni glanced at the screen; it was Zhang Xinyu calling.

She answered the phone immediately, her voice respectful: "Secretary Zhang, hello."

"Ms. Ni, the boss wants you to work overtime tonight. Get ready." On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xinyu's voice was still that of aloof, businesslike tone.

Ni Ni's heart skipped a beat, and two blushes instantly appeared on her previously calm cheeks.

"Okay, I got it! I'll get started right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Ni Ni rushed into the dressing room like a happy little deer.

She must be in her best condition to welcome the man who will give her a new life.

……

Shanghai, the filming location of "iPartment 2".

Li Xin was dressed in an elegant and sophisticated urban professional suit, holding a small fan to cool off her sweat.

As the newly added female lead "Qin Yumo" this season, Li Xin is the center of attention on set, and the director and screenwriter treat her with utmost courtesy.

"Teacher Li, would you like some ice water?"

A young girl with a round and cute chubby face timidly handed over a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed.

The girl was dressed in a minor costume from the film crew. Although her attire was simple, her big eyes revealed a clear and stubborn quality.

"Thank you, Sister Liying. You're a few years older than me, just call me Xinxin, no need to be so polite." Li Xin smiled as she took the water, subtly observing the girl in front of her.

This girl named Zhao Liying was personally selected by the big boss a few days ago and poached from Huayi Brothers by paying a breach of contract fee!

Li Xin had heard Lao Han complain about it in private.

In a place like Huayi Brothers, where big names gather, Zhao Liying, because she didn't have formal training, was always a nobody, playing maids and minor roles.

I heard that when Huayi Brothers' CEO Wang was signing the papers to release Haofeng, he privately mocked Haofeng's boss, asking if he had a collecting obsession and would even spend money to buy a minor role.

But who dares to disobey the boss's orders? After Zhao Liying signed with Haofeng, although she wasn't given the same full-funded leading role as Li Xin, she was still arranged to steadily gain recognition in their various production teams.

In "iPartment 2", she made a cameo appearance as a supporting character in a mental hospital.

"Thank you, Xin Xin..." Zhao Liying smiled shyly, her eyes revealing envy for Li Xin, the popular young actress.

Although she is three years older than Li Xin, in the entertainment industry, status is the rule.

Facing this leading lady whom the company was heavily promoting, she naturally had to adopt a humble attitude.

Li Xin took a sip of water and looked at Zhao Liying's face, which, although still somewhat immature and rustic, had pleasing features, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Our boss has a really scary eye for talent."

"We recently brought back two stunning beauties from Xinjiang. Now, even those low-level talents that no one at Huayi Brothers wants can be recognized as beauties and brought into the company."

As Haofeng Film & Television expands its reach, the number of female artists signed by the company is also increasing.

Li Xin counted on her fair fingers, secretly calculating in her mind.

Yang Mi got the second female lead role in Director Feng's film and the first female lead role in Director Chen's film; Tang Yan went to Hong Kong to film a big production; and Ni Ni has several potential big-screen projects in her pipeline.

Even Liu Yifei, the "Fairy Sister," officially announced on Weibo a few days ago that she will be the female lead in two top-tier productions, "Shaolin" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"!

"Liu Yifei has also fallen for it..."

Li Xin bit her lower lip, a complex expression flashing across her pure face.

It's obvious that someone who obtained these resources must have paid a "pledge of allegiance".

The original four leading actresses of Haofeng Film & Television.

Now, it seems that only Liu Shishi, who filmed "Scarlet Heart," is still cleanly guarding the last line of defense.

However, seeing those actresses who have fallen from grace enjoying incredible resources in the entertainment industry is quite a sight.

Looking at ourselves, although we have top-tier resources like "Meteor Shower" and "iPartment" in our hands, these are, after all, self-produced dramas by the company.

To truly step out of the small screen and reach for those top-tier movie opportunities, or even compete for the coveted "Weibo Queen" throne...

Would it be possible without the absolute favoritism and encouragement of the big boss behind the scenes?

Li Xin lowered her head, looking at her long, slender legs, and a surge of resentment welled up in her heart.

She knew that she was now like someone standing on the edge of a cliff.

Alternatively, one could simply be a dutiful employee working on a TV drama production, watching Yang Mi and Liu Yifei rise to fame, and seeing newcomers like Dilraba, Gulnazar, and even Zhao Liying climb the ladder step by step, while gradually becoming marginalized.

Or...

"I wonder when the boss will remember me..."

Li Xin murmured to herself, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

She was starting to feel a faint sense of anticipation, wondering when that man would turn his gaze to her.
