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

At this very moment, countless viewers across the country are glued to their television sets, just to watch "The Ming Dynasty: The Yongle Emperor".

After the previous "Hongwu Emperor" series broke records upon its premiere, many people fell in love with the Ming Dynasty. However, we are not yet at the point where Qing Dynasty dramas are prevalent. Although they exist, they are not at the point where every period drama is a Qing Dynasty drama.

The TV drama market is still quite volatile.

Inside the villa, Lin Bufan sat on the sofa, while Jiang Qinqin lay in his arms.

At eight o'clock sharp, "The Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" officially started airing. Lin Bufan hadn't seen this version before and was curious about how it was made.

Lin Bufan seemed quite interested in watching, but Jiang Qinqin, the female lead, had absolutely no interest in continuing.

She was considering what Lin Bufan had just said.

What should she do?

Marry someone else?

She was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

There's a saying that goes, once you've experienced the peak, very few people can be content with the ordinary.

When she was with Lin Bufan, everyone looked up to her wherever they went, not for any other reason than because of Lin Bufan's reputation.

Even when filming on set, or when other investors approach them for filming opportunities, they are very polite.

But without Lin Bufan as a backer, the true colors of those capitalists are despicable.

"You just accept it like that?"

As Jiang Qinqin pondered this, she couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Lin Bufan. She was lying on Lin Bufan's lap, and at this angle, she was looking down at him from his chin.

"Actually, when I think about it, what's so unacceptable? He's so handsome and younger than me; I should be the one who's lucky..."

As she thought about it, Jiang Qinqin actually convinced herself.

"Let's go back to our room!"

Jiang Qinqin suddenly stood up and pulled Lin Bufan back to their room.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Bufan was stunned and looked at Jiang Qinqin, puzzled.

"Dry!"

After Jiang Qinqin replied with a single word, she dragged Lin Bufan into the house without further ado.

Just now, because of her considerations, a lot was wasted.

Now that we've made up our minds, we should of course make up for the losses.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Hmph, you got off easy!"

……

Jiang Qinqin said she asked Lin Bufan to watch the premiere of "The Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" with her, but apart from watching a little bit at the beginning, he didn't leave the room or even the bed for the rest of the time.

The next day, Lin Bufan dressed in a refreshed manner. One night was nothing to him.

"If you don't feel like it, just stay home and take a nap!"

Lin Bufan drove the car towards the courtyard house, turning his head to look at Jiang Qinqin, who was sitting in the passenger seat and yawning constantly.

"don't want!"

Jiang Qinqin pouted.

When she learned that Lin Bufan had made an appointment today to sign a contract with the seller and communicate with the decoration company, she insisted on going to see it.

She wanted to see where she would live in the future.

"Whatever you want!"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly, truly unable to understand what this woman was thinking.

Everyone knows how bad the traffic is in Beijing, especially within the Second Ring Road, where it's incredibly congested during the morning rush hour.

What should normally be a half-hour drive took more than two hours to arrive.

"Mr. Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Bufan, the agents hurriedly came to greet him.

"Has the seller arrived?"

Lin Bufan got out of the car and walked towards the other person. Jiang Qinqin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also hurriedly got out of the car and came over.

The real estate agent didn't react much when he saw Lin Bufan and Jiang Qinqin.

The agency is a high-end agency in Beijing. They've met many celebrities and famous people, and they know Lin Bufan, a charming and talented man, very well.

It would be strange if Lin Bufan were to be without a woman by his side one day.

"Everyone's here, Mr. Lin!"

"please!"

With the agent's recommendation, Lin Bufan headed towards his newly purchased courtyard house, passing by the one where he had signed in.

"This will be our house's main entrance from now on!"

Lin Bufan turned his head to look at Jiang Qinqin, who was holding his arm, and pointed to the closed gate next to him. Above the gate hung a plaque with the two large characters "Lin Mansion".

Upon seeing the gate, Jiang Qinqin's eyes lit up.

She had seen such mansions when she was filming; they were truly the kind of luxurious homes that only the elite families of ancient times could afford.

Just like Lin Bufan's current residence, in ancient times, it would be a mansion that only the top nobles could afford, if not a mansion with the title of "King".

"Mr. Lin, please!"

Just then, the group walked to a courtyard house on the side and, with the help of the real estate agent, entered the courtyard house.

Lin Bufan met two sellers, both young men in their thirties who were selling their courtyard houses to start their own businesses.

After the contract was signed, Lin Bufan transferred 8240 million yuan directly to the intermediary company.

Of the total, 80 million was for the house price, and the remaining 2.4 million was for the brokerage fee. The two parties agreed that the buyer would pay the brokerage fee.

For Lin Bufan, the intermediary fee of over two million yuan was nothing.

After the agents and others left, Lin Bufan took Jiang Qinqin for a stroll around the two courtyard houses.

"Mr. Lin!"

Soon, the renovation company's people arrived.

"Help me merge these two courtyard houses together, and also redesign the buildings inside!" Lin Bufan said to the other party.

"Mr. Lin, if there are major changes, the construction period may be delayed, this..."

The other party looked at Lin Bufan with a troubled expression.

After all, the contract stipulated a construction period when it was signed. Now that it has been drastically changed, if the construction period is delayed, it would be considered a breach of contract on their part.

"No problem, the contract can be re-signed!"

Lin Bufan didn't seem to care at all; it was just a loss of some renovation costs.

At the time, Lin Bufan didn't have those ideas, so there were many impractical parts in the renovation.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Since Lin Bufan had said so, and the other party not only suffered no loss but also had even greater profits to offer him, of course they were willing.

"All three courtyard houses have been connected..."

Lin Bufan looked at the person in charge of the decoration company and expressed his thoughts.

The main point is to build several separate small courtyards within this traditional courtyard house. The exact number depends on the later planning.

As for whether there will be any violations, that's not Lin Bufan's concern. Such a large decoration company must have connections; they can handle it, it just means spending a little more money.

After all, once these courtyard houses are built, they are for the family to live in, and outsiders won't know about them.

Some things, if the people don't report them, the officials won't investigate.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, we will provide you with a design drawing as soon as possible."

According to Lin Bufan's requirements, the workload is considerable. Moreover, since it is located within the Second Ring Road, some machinery cannot be brought in to prevent outsiders from seeing it, so it can only be done manually, such as digging a basement.

If there is large machinery, it can be completed in a few days, but if there is no machinery, it will be entirely dependent on manpower.
