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

"I don't care who called you, or which company offered you a role. Believe me, I can get rid of your part with just one phone call!" Sun Donghai said fiercely to Li Xiaoran.

"you……"

Li Xiaoran stopped, her face looking rather grim.

"You remember this: only I, Sun Donghai, can dump you. You have no right to break up with me!"

Sun Donghai stepped forward, his smile somewhat sinister: "That was the company that called you just now!"

"Kyoto!"

Li Xiaoran closed her eyes, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. At that moment, she deeply regretted being with him in the first place.

People from Kyoto just contacted her; they have an offer for her to play the lead role in a movie in Kyoto.

In the entertainment industry, no female star could refuse an invitation from Kyoto Entertainment, let alone a leading role.

Even now, the people from Kyoto had vaguely told her that she was the female lead in director Lin Bufan's next movie, but now all of that has fallen through.

She knows Sun Donghai too well; to punish himself, he will definitely sabotage the female lead role in his own drama.

I doubt that Kyoto would offend Sun Donghai because of me.

Seeing Li Xiaoran's resigned expression, Sun Donghai felt much of his anger subside.

However, the more this was the case, the more he wanted Li Xiaoran to understand that he could ruin her career with just a few words.

Thinking of this, Sun Donghai snatched the phone from Li Xiaoran's hand, opened the recent call log, and dialed back directly.

"Hello!"

"Li Xiaoran declined the offer for your company. Don't call again!"

"Who are you? Is this Miss Li Xiaoran's doing?"

On the other end of the phone, the casting manager at Kyoto Entertainment frowned.

Li Xiaoran, that's a role personally selected by the boss.

"My name is Sun Donghai. Tell Lin Bufan this is my intention."

After Sun Donghai finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned back to look at Li Xiaoran with a sinister smile.

"Come with me..."

As soon as Sun Donghai finished speaking, before he could finish, Li Xiaoran's phone rang again—it was the same phone call from before.

"Give me!"

Sun Donghai snatched the phone and immediately put it on speakerphone. He wanted Li Xiaoran to hear with her own ears the words that the other party had given up on her, so that she would be completely desperate.

"Hello!"

"Are you Sun Donghai?"

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

"I am Lin Bufan!"

"Director Lin, you should understand what I just said!" Sun Donghai's tone was full of threat.

In his eyes, Lin Bufan was just a director, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Even if Lin Bufan wins the so-called Oscar for Best Director and the Golden Lion Award from one of the three major European awards, so what?

Can they compare to the family background of Young Master Sun?

"Give the phone to Li Xiaoran!"

Lin Bufan's tone was indifferent on the phone.

"Wasn't what I said clear enough?"

Sun Donghai looked rather unwell.

"Director Lin, I'm right here..."

Li Xiaoran, who was standing to the side, did not want to involve others because of herself.

"Ms. Li Xiaoran, I'm asking you now, was it your own decision to refuse the role, or someone else's?"

"I……"

Li Xiaoran glanced at Sun Donghai beside her, just about to speak.

"Okay, I got it!"

Lin Bufan said coldly, "Sun Donghai, I know you, but I, Lin Bufan, am not easily intimidated. Others may fear your Sun family, but I, Lin Bufan, am not. Li Xiaoran is the female lead in my next movie. If you dare to interfere, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"No one has ever dared to threaten me in the capital!"

Sun Donghai's face darkened, especially since the phone was on speakerphone, allowing Li Xiaoran to hear everything. If he didn't suppress Lin Bufan today, how could he ever show his face in front of Li Xiaoran again?

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Lin Bufan sneered. Sun Donghai's family background was extraordinary, but his Lin family was not to be trifled with either. He hadn't realized it before, but after seeing that person at home last time, he suddenly realized it.

My family is not an ordinary family.

Besides, Lin Bufan has another advantage: his status. Don't underestimate him.

Lin Bufan is no ordinary director. It's true that the Sun family is very powerful, but they are not without enemies. There's a saying...

As long as you go all out, you will naturally be matched with allies of the same level as your opponents.

This is not the future, especially with those reporters. As long as Lin Bufan dares to speak, someone will dare to report it. He has nothing to worry about.

They were willing to risk their lives to bring down the emperor, let alone just the Sun family.

The Sun family's power is indeed like heaven to ordinary people, but when it comes to the whole country, they don't even rank in the top three. Moreover, Sun Donghai can't represent the Sun family.

Regardless of his mysterious family background or his status at home and abroad, the Sun family, unless they were fools, would never provoke him.

He wasn't the director who was attacked by Sun Donghai's men. Besides, in the original world, Sun Donghai went into hiding for several years after he did that.

"Lin Bufan, I, Sun Donghai, am making this clear today..."

Sun Donghai was about to make a harsh statement.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, before you try to deal with me, you should talk to your elders first."

After saying that, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

He was too lazy to talk to this kind of person anymore. He wasn't afraid of him, but he didn't want to provoke an enemy for no reason. That's why he warned Sun Donghai to consult his family before trying to deal with him.

Otherwise, if Sun Donghai were to target him, should he retaliate?

If things escalate, the Sun family will definitely step in. After all, Sun Donghai is a member of the Sun family, and they certainly can't stand by and watch him be bullied. If that happens, the Sun family's days are numbered.

Ultimately, it could very well escalate into a mortal enemy of the Sun family, a fight to the death, which would waste too much of his time.

With that time and energy, wouldn't it be better for him to date a few more girls?

"you……"

Sun Donghai stared at the disconnected phone, his expression shifting several times.

He had always simply thought that Lin Bufan was just an award-winning director, an ordinary person.

But Lin Bufan's words just now calmed him down instantly.

Those of them who were released were not fools. The other party had already said such things. If he stubbornly made a move, he would definitely face the punishment of his family.

Sun Donghai glanced at Li Xiaoran, then turned and left.

Now, nothing is more important to him than figuring out Lin Bufan's identity. Li Xiaoran is just a nobody. He's only resentful of her, and it's not worth offending an "unknown" person who might even be from the same family as him for her sake.
