My capital is quite large.

"Brother Xu...you hurt me!" Fan Xiaopang said aggrievedly, rubbing his wrist which was bruised from being pinched. His eyes were red.

"Little Fatty! Do you even know what kind of occasion this is?!"

Xu Pibao suppressed his rage and tried to coax him with soft words:

"That's Brother Ye! A true master, one of the most respected figures in the entire Guangdong province!"

"As long as we make him happy today, what resources can't Brother G give us?!"

"Go, take off your clothes, go inside and toast Brother Ye twice, and give him a good performance..."

"I'm not going!!"

Fan Xiaopang took two steps back, his eyes filled with stubbornness, and protested in a shrill voice:

"Brother Xu! How could you do this to me?!"

"I'm a big, reputable celebrity! You want me to go in and have some kind of messy group activity with you guys in front of so many people... If word gets out, how am I ever going to ever face anyone again?!"

"There are so many paparazzi watching me out there! I'm not going! I absolutely won't go!!"

Seeing that this woman, who usually acts as docile as a cat in front of him, actually dares to put on airs at this critical moment, he was shocked.

Xu's already fragile nerves snapped!

"Smack—!!!!"

A crisp slap rang out suddenly!

Xu Pi slapped Fan Xiaopang hard across the face!

The powerful force sent Fan Xiaopang crashing into the sofa next to him with a thud!

Fresh blood slowly seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her neatly styled hair was disheveled.

"You shameless bastard!!"

Xu Pi pointed at Fan Xiaopang, who was slumped on the sofa, covering his face in a daze, and cursed him with a ferocious expression:

"Who do you think you are?! You really think you're something special just because I call you 'darling' a couple of times?!"

"You damn actor, a lowlife who sells his wares, dare to talk about reputation in front of me?!"

Xu Pidao grabbed Fan Xiaopang's hair and yanked her head up, his words dripping with venom:

"Let me tell you, Little Fatty Fan! If you serve Brother Ye well today and get things done, you'll get your share of the rewards!"

"If you dare not give Brother Ye face, you'll ruin my big plan..."

"Don't even mention saving you! Tomorrow morning, I'll personally issue a blacklist order, ensuring you can't even find a place to beg in this industry! Understand?!"

......

The cold words, coupled with the burning pain on his cheek, crushed all of Fan Xiaopang's pride into dust.

She collapsed to the ground, her hair disheveled, tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, she regained consciousness.

What "darling" or "wife of the richest man at Tokyo University"? It's all a self-deceiving joke!

In Boss Xu's eyes, she wasn't even a person.

It's nothing more than a tool that can be used to entertain distinguished guests at any time!

But amidst the despair, my mind gradually began to clear.

She covered her swollen cheek, met Xu Pi's fierce gaze, and made a trembling offer in a quid pro quo:

"Brother Xu... I can go."

"But... that 'dual contract' that Host Cui posted on Weibo... was aimed at getting me thrown in jail!"

"As long as you promise me, shut that guy surnamed Cui up and clear the loopholes in the tax department..."

"I...I'll take it off right now!"

Upon hearing about this matter, Xu Pi's rage subsided slightly, replaced by disdain on his face.

In the eyes of a real estate tycoon like him, who is used to making money out of trillions of dollars, tax evasion is just a minor incident and doesn't amount to much.

"I thought it was something serious. It's just some washed-up TV host barking a couple of times online!!"

Xu loosened his grip on her hair and snorted coldly:

"If Brother Ye is satisfied today, we can ban his account in no time!"

"Wipe away your tears and fix your makeup!"

"Three minutes later, crawl naked into the pool and make Brother Ye feel good!"

"If you dare to mess up... I'll make you wish you were dead!!"

......

Jinling, Xianlin Science and Technology City.

In the president's office on the top floor of Haofeng Group's headquarters, Li Feng was leaning back in a high-backed chair, looking rather casual.

Before him, Secretary Zhang Yuxi was bowing slightly, holding a summary of internal company information and reporting on each item:

"...Regarding the strategic plan for the third quarter of the game division, Mr. Feng's team expects the first phase of internal closed-door technical testing for the mobile version of 'PUBG' to begin in early August."

"As for 'Moonlight Blade,' which is under Director Chen's supervision, the number of online players has continued to climb following last month's major version update. The focus of operations in the third quarter will be mainly on the All-Star Cross-Server Championship across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong."

"As for the film and television department, what does President Han mean..."

Although Zhang Yuxi's voice was clear and pleasant, Li Feng's gaze lingered on the financial statements on the corner of the table, but his thoughts were clearly not on these business reports that were worth billions.

He was lost in thought.

Although his increasingly sensitive identity and busy daily affairs have reduced his time spent on his phone in recent years, he has spent very little time on it.

However, he could clearly see the real-time trending topics list of Haofeng's Weibo, which was updated 24 hours a day by the data monitoring center, hanging on the large screen in the side hall of the president's office, with just a glance every day.

At this very moment, dominating the top three trending topics, with deep red and black "hot" tags following them, was a scene of bloodshed and chaos—

[Host Cui makes a public accusation against a top-tier female celebrity for using a dual contract]

Fan Xiaopang's 60 million yuan salary for four days of filming is suspected of tax evasion.

The exorbitant actor salaries and unspoken rules of the film and television industry have been exposed online.

The attention of the entire internet community and regulatory authorities was almost entirely drawn to these trending topics.

This should have been a good show for him to watch from behind the scenes as his old rival, Tencent Entertainment, once again collapsed.

but!

When Li Feng first saw these trending topics, he felt not pleasure, but a sense of shock and absurdity!

because……

The timing is wrong!!

Li Feng repeatedly pondered the gaps in his memories of his two lifetimes.

In his past life's memories, the timeline when Host Cui tore apart Feng Kuzi's clothes and, in a fit of rage, exposed Fan Xiaopang's dual contracts to the heavens, triggering a major earthquake and tax storm in the entire Dongda entertainment industry...

It should clearly be the summer of 2018!

But what about now?!

It's only June 2017 now!!

It was almost a year ahead of schedule!!
