Chapter 494 A Beauty Throws Herself into My Arms
Chapter 494 A Beauty Throws Herself into My Arms
Whether it was worth it or not, only they themselves know. Wang Zuxian and Sunny are no strangers to this industry; they know its true nature. Without connections or background, you have to give everything to become famous; if you're unwilling to give, you'll have no chance. And often, you have no say in the matter. So much darkness unfolds in this industry, and so many are forced to accept their tragic fate!

Nowadays, Hong Kong's entertainment industry is in a state of extreme chaos, with too many forces pouring into it. The Heung brothers are just one of them, and they are relatively law-abiding. There are many more people who don't follow the rules and are just looking to make quick money. This industry has become more dangerous. Without a backer or background, it's only natural that you'll be schemed against by everyone.

Jackie Chan once said that this industry was so dark and chaotic that even he dared not say more, and could only reveal it after his death. This shows that the waters of this industry are exceptionally black. Beautiful women who enter this industry either have a powerful backer or sink into endless darkness. The insane Lam Kit-ying is the best example. Later, someone said that when facing dark times, if you survive, you become Lau Ka-ling; if you don't, you become Lam Kit-ying. This is a true reflection of the Hong Kong entertainment industry back then.

Darkness has always shrouded this industry. Too many forces have poured into it to make quick money. No matter how big a star you are, if you don't have a powerful backer, you will be coerced by them. Such things are commonplace. This is true in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Countless beauties have fallen in this industry.

The golden age of Hong Kong cinema was also its most chaotic. After 84, Hong Kong was in a state of chaos, especially in the entertainment industry, where too many people flocked in to make quick money, and many of them did not follow the rules.

Wang Zuxian and Sunny are now feeling this pressure and this threat. They don't know how much longer they can hold on in this industry, or when danger will befall them. Under this pressure, they chose this path, the safest path.

The moment the doorbell rang, a faint bitterness appeared on the faces of both women, but they couldn't help but relax. This was the path they were about to take, an unknown one.

John was taken aback by the appearance of the two beauties. This wasn't the first time he'd encountered women throwing themselves at him, but he hadn't expected them to appear together, and especially not here. Misha had already thrown herself at him before, and the reason surprised John as well: external pressure. With the chaos in Hong Kong and the constant influx of external forces, the entertainment industry had become dangerous. Even an ATV star like Misha was under pressure, which gave a glimpse into the chaos and horror of the industry.

It was because John sensed the chaos in Hong Kong's entertainment industry through Michelle that he had those words with the Heung brothers. Those with reputations are not scary; they know how to be respectful. But those greenhorns don't know what respect is. They are fearless and always think they can make a name for themselves. And those are the most dangerous people.

In today's chaotic Hong Kong entertainment industry, how many people will be affected? Too many to count. This is not a problem that he can solve. At most, John can only protect the artists under Phoenix Group. He is powerless to help others. John is well aware that the overall environment is not something an outsider like himself can change.

After learning everything from Misha, John quickly understood the reason when he saw the two beauties appear. It was partly due to external pressure, and he had been forced into this situation by the environment. Although he felt sorry for her, as a man, he couldn't resist such temptation. Just like when Misha threw herself into his arms before, he knew there were other reasons, but he still accepted. Now, facing these two beauties, John felt the same way.

To refuse the advances of two such beautiful women would be the act of a saint, but John is clearly not one of them. Almost no man could do that, after all, he was facing two stunning beauties.

With this step, neither of the two beauties had a way out. They both understood that in Hong Kong, it was almost common knowledge that wealthy men were never short of beautiful women. It wouldn't be surprising if a young and successful top tycoon like John had many beautiful women around him, especially since he was a media and entertainment mogul. No one would care. In fact, no one in the industry would dare to say anything; that was the manifestation of power.

“I want to go back to Taiwan to develop my career!” When Sonny said this, John was taken aback. Taiwan’s entertainment industry was not as good as Hong Kong’s, especially since this was the golden age of Hong Kong films. This request was a bit beyond his imagination.

"Why? Is there something troublesome about Hong Kong?" John asked. He was somewhat surprised by this beauty who would later be known as the most beautiful nun, and he hadn't expected to have this entanglement with her!

“There’s nothing difficult about it. I just want to go back to Taiwan to be with my parents. I’m their only child, and I’m worried about their lives!” These words made John sigh softly, but at the same time, he admired the filial piety of the beautiful woman before him even more. In this chaotic entertainment industry, how many people are addicted to it, and how many still remember their parents? Many even become enemies. At this moment, John nodded and said, “Alright, if you want to go back, then go back. I’ll arrange everything.”

John quickly changed the subject and asked Wang Zuxian, "What about you? Do you also want to go back to Taiwan to develop your career?" The sight of the two beauties together made John think that Wang Zuxian also intended to return to Taiwan, which was why he asked that question.

"No, I don't have that idea. I want to stay in Hong Kong to develop my career!" Hong Kong's film market is very developed, which is incomparable to Taiwan's. Returning to Taiwan would be giving up her career. Wang Zuxian's development path is different from Sunny's, so she doesn't want to give up such a big market as Hong Kong and go back to Taiwan to develop her career.

After a series of phone calls, John arranged residences for the two beauties in Hong Kong, including luxury homes in Deep Water Bay. During the downturn in Hong Kong's real estate market, John acquired many luxury homes in Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay, and Kadoorie Hill, some of which were even obtained from British conglomerates.

After leaving the Phoenix Group building, Wang Zuxian asked, "Cuiyu, are you really going back to Taiwan? Compared to Hong Kong, Taiwan's development is still somewhat lacking. Doing this would be a losing proposition!"

Upon hearing this, Sonny smiled calmly and said, "I know, but I'd rather be closer to my parents. There might not be as many resources as in Hong Kong, but I'd feel more at ease there!"

Although they had long understood that John couldn't possibly only have women like them around him, it was only for a short time. The addition of several more beauties to John's side still made Chung Chu-hung and Yeh Sin-man feel uneasy. This was no secret, and John wouldn't hide it. The appearance of Michelle, Sunny, and Wong Cho-han gave many more beauties an opportunity and sparked their ideas. This was a chance to rise to the top in one step.

Unfortunately, they reacted too slowly. Before they could take any action, John had already left Hong Kong. The matter here was considered settled. Next, Huang Xizhao would be in charge of the other matters of Phoenix Group. John needed to go to Taiwan to prepare for the development of ASUS, for semiconductor chips, and for electronic processing.

When John went to Taiwan, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman named Sunny. When John arrived in Taiwan, he received a warm welcome from the Taiwanese officials. In their eyes, John was a god of wealth, their great god of wealth. Asus is developing faster and faster and its influence is growing, bringing huge benefits to Taiwan and driving the development and growth of Taiwan's semiconductor and electronics industries. It is no exaggeration to value such a god of wealth.

The beautiful woman beside John also made them take her seriously. It goes without saying that she was there for John, and everyone knew what was going on. They all remembered her and would be more cautious when they encountered her in the future.

"Mr. John, will the semiconductor agreement between the United States and Japan affect the development of Taiwan? Will it impact Taiwan's semiconductor industry?" This is what Taiwan most wants to know and understand. After all, the dramatic changes in Japan have put pressure on them, and they are worried that Taiwan will be impacted and suppressed in the same way.

"No, there won't be much change in trade between Taiwan and the United States, and the semiconductor industry won't be affected. If there is any impact, it will be that it will accelerate the development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. ASUS needs to accelerate its own expansion, and this cannot be achieved without your help. ASUS needs to expand its factories, and may even need to build new factories."

At this point, John considered moving the electronics processing from ASUS's current factory area. He originally thought that ASUS's factory area was sufficient for future expansion needs, but now John realized that he had been careless. ASUS's factory area could not withstand the simultaneous expansion of electronics processing and semiconductors, so new arrangements needed to be made!
John's words delighted the Taiwanese officials; this was exactly what they wanted to hear. ASUS's expansion was good for them, and the new factory area was no problem at all. They would do their utmost to meet ASUS's needs and ensure that ASUS's development would not be affected in any way. If ASUS could continue to grow and thrive, it would be a great thing for them. The faster ASUS developed, the greater the benefit it would bring to Taiwan's industry.
