My capital is quite large.

In early December, the atmosphere in the Chinese entertainment industry was somewhat bleak, but on the internet's traffic plaza, it was a scene of revelry.

The voting for Haofeng's Weibo annual "Weibo Queen" has entered the final, heated sprint stage.

This month, the top spot, which Yang Mi had been closely chasing, was suddenly overtaken by a huge margin!

Because Liu Yifei's "firepower coverage" has officially arrived!

Almost overnight, the giant LED screens in the top business districts, airports and high-speed rail stations of major first-tier cities were completely dominated by Liu Yifei's aloof and peerless face.

Bulgari Asia Pacific Brand Ambassador, Chaumet Global Brand Ambassador... one after another, these usually unattainable top luxury titles were showered upon her as if they were free.

Even more outrageous is the "Grand Slam" in the fashion world!

VOGUE, ELLE, Marie Claire... the top five women's magazines in China have all surprisingly chosen Liu Yifei as their solo cover for the December issue!

Throughout December, Haofeng Network used its massive capital investment to create a dedicated "Liu Yifei Month" in the Chinese entertainment industry!

The vote count on Weibo created a despairing chasm. No matter how hard Yang Mi tried to promote herself, she could only watch that departing figure and grit her teeth in frustration.

……

Meanwhile, in Jinling, Jiangsu, at the International Expo Center.

A "Provincial Outstanding Private Entrepreneurs Summit" is being held.

Amidst a flurry of flashing lights, Li Feng received the weighty "Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year" award from provincial leaders, under the watchful eyes of prominent figures from both the political and business spheres across the province.

Since Haofeng Networks, a tax behemoth, settled in Jinling Xianlin Science and Technology City, it has driven the upstream and downstream industrial chains and created tens of thousands of new high-paying jobs!

For local governments that desperately want leading internet companies to boost GDP, Li Feng is now a true benefactor.

After the meeting ended, Li Feng left amidst a flurry of pleasantries and became seated in the back of a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the VIP lane.

As soon as he got into the car, Li Feng loosened his tie and tossed the gold-plated trophy aside.

"Boss, you've been working so hard lately!" Zhang Xinyu, who was sitting next to her, handed her a warm towel.

"This is the third time this month that you've come out to attend this kind of official commendation ceremony, isn't it? Back when you were in Shenzhen, you wouldn't even show your face."

Li Feng glanced at her, then reached out and slapped her hard on her shapely figure.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch..." Zhang Xinyu cried out softly, covering her backside, her cheeks flushed red, and she glared at Li Feng coquettishly.

"They have no respect for elders and even dare to joke about the boss."

Li Feng wiped his hands, tossed the towel back into the tray, and his eyes revealed the clarity and profundity of someone who had lived two lives.

"Do you think I want to come out every day to attend meetings with these people and read from prepared speeches?"

"Xinyu, you must remember that when doing business in China, you can never avoid the four classes of scholars, farmers, industry workers, and merchants."

"No matter how much money a businessman makes, if he can't connect with local development, he's just a fat pig ready to be slaughtered at any time. Why is Penguin known as the 'Nanshan Invincible' in Nanshan? Because they pay astronomical amounts of taxes to the local area, feeding countless mouths!"

Li Feng's gaze fell on the rapidly receding cityscape of Nanjing outside the car window.

"We, Haofeng, are newcomers here. We want to establish ourselves in Nanjing and, in the future, when faced with the strangulation of giants like Tencent and Alibaba, have the provincial public security, procuratorate, and judiciary support us."

"We must show our attitude!"

"If we boost the local GDP and employment, why wouldn't they help us withstand the pressure from the Nanshan Pizza Hut?"

Upon hearing this grand vision, Zhang Xinyu put away her joking thoughts.

The boss's vision is always far superior to that of those who only focus on their immediate surroundings.

"Go book two high-speed rail tickets."

"Nanjing is close to Xuzhou, only a little over an hour by high-speed rail. Come with me to my hometown this weekend."

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away." Zhang Xinyu replied obediently, but she was secretly delighted.

Being able to accompany the boss back to his hometown to meet his parents is a privilege that even female celebrities would beg for!

……

Hengdian, Zhejiang, the filming location for "Scarlet Heart".

"Shishi, come on, have some hot soup to warm your stomach. You've been filming too many night scenes these past few days, your face is a little pale."

Wu Qilong, dressed as a prince from the Qing Dynasty, held a thermos cup in his hand and handed it to Liu Shishi with a concerned expression.

As a seasoned veteran in the industry, Wu Qilong is very skilled in dealing with people and taking care of actresses.

After spending the past two weeks together, he did develop some unusual feelings for the simple girl in front of him, whose temperament was as pure and elegant as a chrysanthemum.

Liu Shishi blushed as she accepted the thermos, feeling the warmth from her palm, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

"Thank you, Brother Long..."

She was well protected from a young age, and her career took off after joining Haofeng Film and Television.

Faced with such a mature and steady senior male colleague who took meticulous care of her on set, the stirrings of first love inevitably began to sprout in her heart.

Just as Liu Shishi was holding her thermos and enjoying the peaceful, ambiguous atmosphere on set...

"Shishi!"

A slightly stern voice suddenly interrupted this warm moment.

Liu Shishi turned her head and saw her best friend Tang Yan, who had just come to visit the film set today, standing not far away, staring at her and Wu Qilong with an unpleasant expression.

"Tangtang, you're here!" Liu Shishi quickly stood up and greeted her with a joyful expression.

Seeing this, Wu Qilong smiled knowingly and said, "Then you two sisters chat first, I'll go go over the lines."

As soon as Wu Qilong left, Tang Yan grabbed Liu Shishi's wrist, pulled her into the RV not far away, and locked the door behind her.

"Tangtang, what are you doing? You're pinching my wrist so hard it hurts." Liu Shishi rubbed her wrist, looking aggrieved and confused.

Tang Yan looked at her best friend, who was still immersed in a pink bubble, and felt a deep sense of disappointment.

"Shishi, tell me honestly! Have you fallen for that Wu Qilong? What are you planning to do? Do you want to ruin yourself?!"

Liu Shishi was stunned by Tang Yan's sudden question, her cheeks flushed red, and her stubbornness resurfaced.

"Tangtang, what nonsense are you talking about... Brother Long is a really nice guy, he took good care of me on set. Even if I do have a bit of a crush on him... what's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong?!"

Tang Yan laughed in exasperation, defeated by her naive stupidity.

"Shi Shi, Shi Shi, haven't you realized our current predicament yet?!"

Tang Yan took a deep breath and decided to shatter this silly girl's fantasy.

"Look at the trending topics on Weibo right now! Look at Liu Yifei's top luxury brand endorsements and first-tier magazine appearances that have dominated the screens throughout December! And look at Yang Mi's movie projects, and look at the resources I have!"

"And then there's Ni Ni, who just joined the company not long ago. She hasn't even filmed a single scene, yet the boss has crammed her into so many movies!"

"Do you think our boss is a philanthropist?! Do you think this windfall wealth just fell from the sky?!"

"What do you think Yifei, Mimi, Ni Ni, and I... got these resources through?!"
