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

I first met Jiang Qinqin and Chen Jianbin through the story of Qiao Family Compound.

"What? Are you jealous?"

Jiang Qinqin raised her head, revealing her fair and slender neck as she looked at Lin Bufan with a smile on her face.

"I'm jealous?"

Lin Bufan shook his head: "I was just curious."

Lin Bufan would love to play with his older sister, but if he were to collect her, he would have to consider whether she was a suitable match.

"What, she doesn't meet your standards?"

Jiang Qinqin gave a soft snort and rolled her eyes at Lin Bufan.

"Big sister, let's just each get what we need."

Lin Bufan glanced at her, his tone indifferent.

"Hmph, you men are all the same..."

Jiang Qinqin gave a soft hum, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She had just been thinking that if Lin Bufan got jealous, she would use some tricks to see if she could get him to marry her.

If Lin Bufan were willing to marry her, she would definitely dump Chen Jianbin without hesitation.

Unfortunately, Lin Bufan didn't reveal a word.

"Are they all the same?"

Lin Bufan revealed a wicked smile: "I'll show you whether all men are the same..."

……

The next day, Jiang Qinqin had no idea how she managed to get to the film set.

Lin Bufan had originally said he would tell Zhang Ting so she could have a day off, but Jiang Qinqin refused, as she didn't want to make her relationship with Lin Bufan public.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

If Lin Bufan greets Zhang Ting today, it will soon spread throughout the industry.

She knew Chen Jianbin would find out eventually, which was something she didn't want to see. After all, Lin Bufan wasn't willing to marry her, so she had to leave herself a way out.

Thinking about the craziness of last night, Jiang Qinqin's face still felt a little hot.

She decided that even if she eventually married Chen Jianbin, she would still occasionally find opportunities to spar with Lin Bufan, because men are truly different.

……

After a few days of rest, Lin Bufan threw himself back into the intense filming schedule.

The most difficult scenes in the movie "Lust, Caution" have all been filmed. The remaining scenes were not actually that difficult and were much easier to film.

Furthermore, due to those three scenes, Liang Jiahui and Dong Jie's cooperation became much more seamless.

Before we knew it, it was April.

"Boss, Huo Wenxi wants to see you."

Lin Bufan had just finished filming for the day when Bai Bing came over to report to him.

"Huo Wenxi!"

This woman hasn't come to see him for a long time.

Of course, don't misunderstand, Lin Bufan and she are completely innocent; they have absolutely no relationship, except for working together.

"Did she say what it was about?"

Lin Bufan looked at Bai Bing.

"No!"

Bai Bing shook her head.

"Okay, have her come directly to the set!"

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Filming for "Lust, Caution" is now nearing its end and is expected to wrap up by the middle of this month. He doesn't want to stop filming unless absolutely necessary.

"Okay, boss!"

Bai Bing nodded, then looked hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Bai Bing hadn't left, Lin Bufan looked up at her, who had a conflicted expression, and asked in confusion.

"Boss, could the group set up a secretariat?" Bai Bing asked Lin Bufan tentatively.

"Secretariat? Why?"

Lin Bufan frowned slightly and looked at Bai Bing with a puzzled expression.

"Boss, I'm all alone now, and I'm really struggling to keep up. Before, I could handle some work at night, but now..." Bai Bing looked at Lin Bufan with a troubled expression.

Now, as the company grows, Lin Bufan's businesses are becoming more and more numerous and diverse, and she often finds herself overwhelmed by the demands of managing them all.

Especially after she had a relationship with Lin Bufan.

When he wasn't filming, Lin Bufan could go home and visit Liu Yifei and the others, and she could get some rest. But ever since filming started...

She was busy with work during the day and also had to take care of Xiao Xiaofan at night; she was simply overwhelmed.

"Go back and talk to General Manager Yang about setting up a secretariat."

Since Bai Bing had said that, he didn't want to burden his woman. Moreover, as his career became more and more diverse, he did need a secretariat with multiple secretaries to handle the work together.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how many businesses he owns, so how would he manage them?

"Okay, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bing immediately beamed with joy.

"Don't get too excited yet. When you get home tonight, wear that white dress..."

Lin Bufan glanced at Bai Bing.

Although Bai Bing said she didn't want to play Princess Yu Shu in "The Myth", Lin Bufan had a soft spot for Princess Yu Shu and directly had a set of Princess Yu Shu's clothes made and sent over.

"knew!"

Bai Bing glanced at Lin Bufan shyly and timidly before turning to leave.

"By the way, you'll be involved in overseeing the secretariat's recruitment process."

Lin Bufan thought for a moment and then delegated authority to Bai Bing.

He could understand Bai Bing's thoughts. Establishing a secretariat would not only reduce Bai Bing's workload, but more importantly, once the secretariat was established, Bai Bing would no longer have to leave his side.

The Secretariat is just an abbreviation; its full name is the Comprehensive Management Department. Without a doubt, the manager of this Comprehensive Management Department is Bai Bing.

That's fine too. Lin Bufan is used to having Bai Bing by his side, and he would be reluctant to let her go if she were transferred away.

The establishment of the Comprehensive Management Department not only elevates Bai Bing's status within the group, preventing people from feeling that she is mistreating those around her, but also keeps her by his side, achieving multiple benefits at once.

Another point is that Bai Bing understands herself very well.

They know what kind of people they need to recruit for the secretariat.

……

That evening, after finishing a day of filming, Lin Bufan met Huo Wenxi in his suite.

"Miss Huo, is there something you need that you've come all this way?"

Lin Bufan looked at Huo Wenxi sitting opposite him.

Based on his understanding of Huo Wenxi, the other party was the type who would only come to him when there was something important to discuss; he would almost never come looking for him unless there was something urgent.

"Director Lin, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Huo Wenxi didn't find anything wrong with it and got straight to the point: "Boss Yang wants to ask you if it's possible to postpone the release of 'Overheard'?"

"Postponed release? Why?"

Lin Bufan looked at Huo Wenxi with a puzzled expression.

This movie has already finished filming, and even post-production is complete; it's ready for release anytime.

As originally planned, the movie "Overheard" was scheduled to be released on May 1st of this year.
