The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

A hotel near the location of "My Own Swordsman".

Inside the room, various underwear and other items were clearly visible from the doorway, flying around everywhere.

Once inside, the fighting became even more brutal.

The female lead, Zhang Xinyi, was so weak that she could only lie there, unable to even move a finger.

"Go back and take a good look at this script."

Lin Bufan sat on the edge of the bed, straightened his clothes, and then got up to leave.

However, before leaving, he tossed a script aside.

"script?"

Upon hearing the word "script," Zhang Xinyi, who was already too weak to even move a finger, mustered all her strength to get up and take the script in her hands.

"Overheard?"

Zhang Xinyi opened the script and took a look. She was surprised to find that it was a movie script, and the role she was given was that of the female lead in the movie.

"It was worth it, so worth it..."

Zhang Xinyi was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes; all her efforts to please the other party had been worthwhile.

Lin Bufan showed her no pity whatsoever. After all, it wasn't his own bicycle, so he was bound to stand up and pedal hard.

Originally, she felt somewhat wronged and even a little regretful.

But after she got the role, all the grievances and regrets in her heart disappeared.

In fact, if she could, she would rather be in a worse situation, as long as she could get resources.

……

For Zhang Xinyi, the resources for "Overheard" were top-tier, but in Lin Bufan's view, the film was just an average resource.

The female lead in this story is practically just a decorative character.

In the previous life, this role was played by Zhang Jingchu, and it had almost no highlights.

Furthermore, since this movie is about the brotherhood of three people, the female lead's role is essentially that of a decorative vase.

The resources were so-so, just enough to keep Zhang Xinyi occupied.

"Honey, where did you go?"

When Lin Bufan returned to the film set, An Yixuan hurriedly walked over and took his arm.

"I went out for a walk."

Lin Bufan looked completely casual.

Zhang Xinyi is quite ambitious. For him, one taste is enough; there's no need to keep her.

After spending some time with An Yixuan, Lin Bufan left the film crew.

"Boss, the person has arrived at the hotel."

Back in the car, Liu Meng reported to Lin Bufan.

"Let's go to the hotel."

Lin Bufan nodded.

Traffic in Beijing is truly a complicated issue.

It was only 06, and a journey of twenty or thirty kilometers took almost an hour to complete.

Upon entering the Beijing Hotel, Lin Bufan was led to a private room by a waiter.

Pushing open the door, Lin Bufan saw twelve burly men sitting around the huge dining table.

"Boss Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Bufan enter, all twelve people stood up.

Before they arrived, they knew they were there to be his bodyguards, so they naturally knew what Lin Bufan looked like.

"Please sit down!"

After Lin Bufan sat down, he looked at everyone and nodded in satisfaction.

Almost exactly as he had expected, each of them looked so capable; Lin Bufan had already reviewed their information beforehand.

They are all from special forces, and top-tier special forces in China at that. They have participated in combat missions both domestically and internationally, so their strength is beyond doubt.

"Xiao Bai, tell them to serve the food!"

"Yes, boss!"

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing and said, "Xiao Bai, bring out the contract."

"Yes, boss!"

As Bai Bing spoke, he took out 12 documents from his bag and placed them in front of them one by one.

"You watch and I'll explain."

Lin Bufan stood up, looking at everyone with a serious expression.

"Since you've chosen to be my bodyguards, I, Lin Bufan, will definitely not treat you unfairly. First of all, let's talk about your salaries. Each of you will receive an annual salary of 100 million..."

As soon as Lin Bufan finished speaking, everyone looked at him in shock.

Keep in mind that this was only 2006, and the average monthly salary in China was less than 2,000 yuan. Lin Bufan offered them a million-yuan annual salary as a special treatment. No, this was more than just a special treatment.

At this moment, even Liu Meng, who had introduced them, felt quite envious of them.

Even as the boss's driver, he didn't enjoy an annual salary of a million. Of course, his salary wasn't low either, at 10 a year. It can be said that in this era, even top white-collar workers earn no more than that, and some can't even match it.

Bai Bing has plenty of authority to speak on this point. As the boss's assistant, and the only female assistant at that, her annual salary is only 8.

Of course, Bai Bing has many hidden perks, such as the Porsche 911 she drives now.

"Boss, this money..."

Among the twelve burly men, one was about to speak when Lin Bufan offered such a high salary that they didn't know what to do.

"listen to me!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand to interrupt the other party: "In addition, I have prepared a house for each of your families in Chaoyang District, and I have also arranged for the best schools for the children who need to go to school, and their household registrations have all been transferred to Beijing..."

In short, Lin Bufan arranged everything he could to resolve their worries.

"Boss, from now on, my life, Li Feng's life, belongs to you..."

Li Feng, a man from Northeast China, looked at Lin Bufan with some emotion.

At this moment, if a bullet were to be fired at Lin Bufan, he would not hesitate to fly over and shield Lin Bufan from the bullet.

With an annual salary of one million, a house, and solutions to household registration and schooling issues, it's practically a life-saving favor for them.

"And me, Liu Chao..."

Immediately afterwards, the other eleven people also expressed their opinions.

Since their discharge from the military, the skills they learned in the army have been completely useless in reality. Unlike in later years, the policies for veterans now are much simpler, and resettlement is much easier.

They were all given some official positions, but they were all in low-paying, unimportant government jobs with average benefits and low salaries. They also had to deal with interpersonal relationships that they were not good at.

In the military, they were always straightforward, but they faced difficulties at every turn at work. However, considering their parents, wives, and children, they could only swallow their anger.

It wasn't until Liu Meng used his connections to introduce them to the company that they decided to give it a try because of the high salary.

They never expected Lin Bufan to treat them so well, offering them high salaries that they could never achieve in their lifetime, and even making arrangements for their parents, wives, and children.

Seeing this, Lin Bufan smiled with satisfaction.

He's not just hiring bodyguards, he's practically raising his own assassins.

In Lin Bufan's eyes, bodyguards are different from ordinary employees of the company, and even senior executives.
