Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

"Ms. Wang, it's been over two months since you were promoted to section chief. Are you adjusting well?"

Wang Mingzhu nodded: "It's pretty good, but I'm busier than before. Sometimes I'm so busy that I feel dizzy. I used to think that being a section chief was easy for my mentor, but now I understand that he only seemed to have a relaxed life on the surface. In reality, he worked much harder than us!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "Being busy is a good thing. It means you're handling more trade orders, and good performance is the key to promotion! Keep up the good work, and I hope you can be promoted to director in three years!"

Wang Mingzhu smiled confidently: "Given the current trend of increasing foreign trade orders, if this trend continues for the next three years, it's really not certain that this will happen!"

"Then, Ms. Wang, good luck! Tianbao Trading Company will definitely support you with all our might!"

After speaking with Wang Mingzhu, Liu Xiaobao turned to chatting with Stamp Li and Xiao Ningbo. Lingzi, Li Li, and Wang Mingzhu also talked about their own women's topics. Only Tao Tao was drinking tea alone, looking rather sullen.

It wasn't until Manager Pan brought in the food and drinks that Liu Xiaobao pulled Tao Tao back into the drinking group.

After finishing the meal, everyone was satisfied. Just as Liu Xiaobao was about to pay the bill, Li Li stopped him.

"Mr. Bao, there's no need to pay the bill. My Zhizhen Garden is now the designated place for business entertainment for Tianbao Group. Just sign the bill, and we'll settle it once a year!"

Hearing Li Li so directly trying to get business for him, Liu Xiaobao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't object.

Liu Xiaobao simply smiled at Li Li and said, "You've really got a good plan; you've kept the profits within the family!"

Li Li wasn't embarrassed at all, replying, "Of course! Going to other restaurants for business dinners means paying anyway, so why not patronize my Zhizhen Garden? Besides, I have all the receipts and invoices, so there won't be any issues with falsified bills. It benefits both me and the group, so why not?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, that's a good idea. From now on, our group's business dinners will be held at your Zhizhenyuan and Ye Dongjing restaurants, so that our guests won't get tired of the food!"

Li Li wasn't angry that Liu Xiaobao had specified 'Night Tokyo' again, because she knew Liu Xiaobao was right. If guests always ate at Zhizhenyuan when they came to discuss business, they would definitely get tired of it eventually.

Therefore, it's reasonable to switch between the two restaurants, especially since 'Night Tokyo' is a restaurant under the Tianbao Group, while Zhizhenyuan is just Li Li's personal property.

Liu Xiaobao's decision to include Zhizhen Garden in the list is already a great favor to Li Li.

After the dinner, Lingzi and Piaoyou Li were driven home by Li Li.

Liu Xiaobao was responsible for taking Wang Mingzhu home, and Su Jie was the one driving.

In the car, Liu Xiaobao noticed that Wang Mingzhu seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times, and in the end, she didn't say anything. After opening the soundproof panel in the middle of the car, Liu Xiaobao took the initiative to ask her.

"Ms. Wang, given our relationship, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just say what you want to say!"

Seeing that the soundproofing panel was open, and that only she and Liu Xiaobao could hear each other, Wang Mingzhu no longer hesitated and spoke to Liu Xiaobao.

"Mr. Bao, although I've now become a section chief and have achieved some success in my career, my parents are pressuring me to get married. They said on February 2.9th that now that my career is settled, I should start thinking about marriage. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Wang Mingzhu's words, Liu Xiaobao understood why Wang Mingzhu had hesitated so much before; it turned out she was embarrassed to be overheard by Su Jie.

Liu Xiaobao was well aware that when Wang Mingzhu asked him what he thought, she was clearly trying to make her feelings for him clear.

Realizing this, Liu Xiaobao was somewhat happy, but he also hesitated.

Because he already has Pansy Ho and Vivian Chow, Liu Xiaobao can't guarantee whether Wang Mingzhu can accept this fact.

So after hesitating for two seconds, Liu Xiaobao gave Wang Mingzhu a hesitant reply.

"I naturally share your thoughts, but there's something very important I must tell you first. However, I'm caught off guard and don't know how to say it. Let me gather my thoughts!"

Liu Xiaobao knew that Wang Mingzhu was different from He Chaoqiong and Zhou Huimin.

Because He Chaoqiong grew up in a family with four mothers, she could easily accept that Liu Xiaobao would marry several wives.

Zhou Huimin was naive in matters of the heart, and Liu Xiaobao took advantage of her naivety to use some methods to change her views on relationships, which led her to accept Liu Xiaobao's idea of ​​marrying multiple wives.

But Wang Mingzhu was different. Unlike He Chaoqiong, she was not used to this kind of situation, and Liu Xiaobao did not do any pre-existing ideological work for her like he did for Zhou Huimin.

Liu Xiaobao was certain that if he explained the situation to Wang Mingzhu at this moment, he would inevitably be met with strong rejection from Wang Mingzhu, and she might even turn against him and leave him.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao really didn't know how to tell Wang Mingzhu about He Chaoqiong and Zhou Huimin. However, if he didn't explain the situation of He Chaoqiong and Zhou Huimin clearly, it would be tantamount to deceiving Wang Mingzhu.

Liu Xiaobao, who is passionate and outspoken, is unwilling to deceive Wang Mingzhu in matters of the heart.

Even if he wanted to win over Liza Wang, he would have done so openly and honestly, rather than deceiving her first and then confessing afterward.

So Liu Xiaobao was really at a loss at this moment. If he spoke directly, he would be rejected by Wang Mingzhu. If he didn't speak, he would be going against his own views on relationships.

Just as Liu Xiaobao was hesitating, the car suddenly came to a stop.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaobao was quick-witted and caught Wang Mingzhu, otherwise she would have definitely hit her head.

After helping Wang Mingzhu to a stop, Liu Xiaobao lowered the soundproof panel and asked Su Jie, who was driving, "What happened?"

Su Jie pointed ahead and replied, "Someone is looking for you!"

Following Su Jie's gaze, Liu Xiaobao saw a person blocking their car. Liu Xiaobao recognized the person; it was Long Liu, who had protected him for a period of time in Hong Kong.

Long Liu first nodded to Liu Xiaobao in front of the car, then opened the passenger door and got in.

"Mr. Bao, that old man knows you returned to Pujiang today, and he wants to see you!"

Upon hearing Long Liu's words, Liu Xiaobao really wanted to shout, "Long live the old man! He has actually solved my immediate predicament!"

However, Liu Xiaobao did not show too much joy in front of Wang Mingzhu. Instead, he calmly said to Wang Mingzhu, "I have to go see an important person first. We can talk about our matter when I get back, okay?"

Although Wang Mingzhu was being pressured to get married, she didn't feel the need to resolve the matter immediately, so she nodded understandingly: "Okay, then we'll talk about our matter when you come back!"

Because Long Liu was in the car, Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu didn't talk much more. After dropping Wang Mingzhu off at home, Liu Xiaobao happily thanked Long Liu.

"Mr. Long, you've come just in time today, thank you so much!"

Long Liu, unaware of the truth, looked at Liu Xiaobao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Bao, is there anything else that needs to be arranged? If not, shall we head to Beijing now?"

Liu Xiaobao was taken aback: "Go to the capital?"

Liu Xiaobao didn't ask the old man how he knew he had returned to Pujiang today. After all, it was too easy for the old man to find out someone's whereabouts.

So Liu Xiaobao just didn't expect the old man to summon him to the capital for a meeting.

Long Liu nodded: "That's right, we're going to the capital. If you have any other arrangements, Mr. Bao, please make them quickly, and then we'll set off immediately!"

Liu Xiaobao had already finished explaining everything he needed to today. He didn't need to be present to distribute year-end bonuses to the company employees, so he simply made a phone call to his uncle to tell him that he was going to the capital, and then set off with Long Liu.

Following Long Liu's directions, Su Jie drove to the airport and then boarded a private plane late at night to fly to Beijing.

Seeing that the old man had actually arranged a private jet for him, Liu Xiaobao felt greatly gratified.

He understood that his performance in the Hong Kong stock market had won the old man's favor; otherwise, the old man wouldn't have valued him so much and arranged a private jet for him just to meet him.

Liu Xiaobao even guessed that this meeting with the old man would not be just a casual encounter; the opportunity he had been waiting for might finally arrive.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao was filled with anticipation on his way to Beijing.

Having dealt with each other before in Hong Kong, Liu Xiaobao was familiar with Long Liu, as was Su Jie.

On the plane, Su Jie and Long Liu chatted the whole time, but their conversation was all about martial arts, which Liu Xiaobao wasn't interested in, so he didn't join in.

He simply gazed silently at the night sky outside the window, looking at the pitch-black land of China, pondering how to deal with Wang Mingzhu's situation.

Forty minutes later, Liu Xiaobao's private plane landed in Beijing, and he finally snapped out of his thoughts.

Liu Xiaobao had thought he would see the old man soon, but after Long Liu contacted him, he learned that the old man had already gone to sleep and he would have to wait until the next morning to see him.

Liu Xiaobao was not displeased by this. Accompanied by Long Liu, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie checked into the state guesthouse.

"Mr. Bao, this is Building 11, the room that the old man specially reserved for you. Next to it is Building 12, which used to be the residence of the founding emperor. Even foreign heads of state, only a few people can stay in Building 12."

Liu Xiaobao knew that Long Liu's introduction was not meant to show off his knowledge, but to show how much the old man valued him and to reassure him not to be angry about not seeing the old man that night.

Liu Xiaobao was naturally not angry. After having Long Liu convey his gratitude to the old man, he and Su Jie checked in.

After Long Liu left, Su Jie immediately pressed Liu Xiaobao for answers.

"Mr. Bao, is the old man you're looking for the same one we met last time? Who exactly is he? How could he arrange such a high-class room for you at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse? Tell me quickly, who is that old man?"

Liu Xiaobao thought about it for a while, but still didn't answer Su Jie's question.

"Well, you'll know if you can meet him tomorrow. If you can't, then it's not convenient for me to tell you!"

Although Liu Xiaobao did not reveal the old man's identity, Su Jie had already made some guesses after hearing Liu Xiaobao's words.

"Mr. Bao, you're being so mysterious. Could the person you met have been the top leader?"

Liu Xiaobao gave Su Jie an approving look, neither admitting nor denying it.

Anyway, since it wasn't Liu Xiaobao who leaked it, but Su Jie who guessed it himself, then it has nothing to do with Liu Xiaobao.

"Go wash up and go to bed. I'll take you to see that person first thing tomorrow morning. If you're lucky, you'll witness the answer with your own eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jie was overjoyed and quickly ran to take a shower...

The next morning.

At just six o'clock, Liu Xiaobao was woken up by the doorbell.

It was still Long Liu who arrived, but he was accompanied by Long Qi.

"Mr. Bao, the old man is already up. He's inviting you to have breakfast together!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao didn't dare to delay. He quickly washed up and then, together with Su Jie, followed Long Liu and Long Qi to the mysterious residence of the great man.

Xishan Villa.

The residences of great people are not actually luxurious palaces; in fact, they can be described as quite simple. However, the decorations and furnishings are very exquisite, giving them a tasteful and classy feel.
