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

"The New Beijing Circle?"

In a courtyard house within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, Young Master Ye looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are you thinking?"

For Young Master Ye, the Beijing entertainment circle was merely a temporary stop.

In Beijing's social circle, the only person he truly cares about is Xu Qing.

This is why no one in Beijing's elite circles dares to offend Xu Qing; everyone knows that the Beijing elite circles can do without anyone else, but they absolutely cannot do without Young Master Ye.

"I don't care!"

Xu Qing sat in the chair, looking completely indifferent.

For her, neither the old Beijing circle nor the new Beijing circle will have much of an impact.

"Help me arrange a meeting with Lin Bufan..."

Young Master Ye paused for a moment, then said, "Let's set the date for three days from now!"

Clearly, he knew that Lin Bufan's schedule was very full for the next three days, and the two of them wouldn't have time to sit down and chat.

……

For the next three days, Lin Bufan spent either on his way to meetings or giving speeches at those meetings.

It's all the same old story.

"Finally finished!"

Lin Bufan drove to the Silver Lake Villa and sat down on the sofa as soon as he entered.

"You must be tired!"

Fan Bingbing walked over and stood behind Lin Bufan, gently massaging his shoulders with her soft little hands.

"It's not that I'm physically tired, it's that I'm mentally exhausted!"

Lin Bufan leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and gently patted Fan Bingbing's soft hand.

"I... vomit..."

Just as Fan Bingbing was about to speak, a wave of nausea suddenly washed over her.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Bufan hurriedly stood up and looked at the other person with concern.

"I don't know either. I've been feeling a bit unwell for the past two days, and I also feel a bit hot!" Fan Bingbing's expression was somewhat pained, and this nauseous feeling lasted for more than ten seconds before it subsided.

"Could he be sick?"

Lin Bufan said, looking at Fan Bingbing, "Go to the hospital to get checked out!"

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a couple of days!"

Fan Bingbing wanted to hold on a little longer, but she couldn't resist Lin Bufan's insistence, and eventually went to the hospital with him.

"Mr. Lin, Ms. Fan, congratulations, you're pregnant!"

Upon arriving at the hospital, after a series of examinations, the doctor looked at Lin Bufan and Fan Bingbing with a smile and offered his congratulations.

"Are you pregnant?"

Fan Bingbing was taken aback at first, then was instantly filled with joy.

Although Lin Bufan already has several children, he is happy to have more.

"but……"

The doctor spoke with a serious expression, but his expression showed a slight hesitation.

"Doctor, is there some kind of accident?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan frowned slightly and looked at the other person.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

The doctor nodded and then said, "Although Ms. Fan is pregnant now, based on her description, there are some risks involved in this pregnancy that require attention..."

In fact, Fan Bingbing has been trying to conceive recently, so she has been reading a lot about pregnancy.

Normally, she would have realized it long ago.

However, because she had spotting two weeks ago, she assumed it was her period and didn't consider the possibility of pregnancy.

Now, after the doctor's explanation, I understand that spotting is a sign of threatened miscarriage.

Of course, this is just a sign and does not necessarily indicate a threatened miscarriage.

"Mr. Lin, I suggest that Ms. Fan rest in bed as much as possible for the next period of time and avoid doing anything strenuous, especially bending over..."

Following the doctor's instructions, Fan Bingbing returned to the villa and lay down on the bed without moving.

She had already decided that for the next month, she would not get out of bed unless she needed to go to the bathroom.

She worked so hard and finally got pregnant.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Lin Bufan sat on the edge of the bed, comforting Fan Bingbing.

After Fan Bingbing fell asleep, Lin Bufan made a phone call to arrange for a nanny, a childcare worker, and others to come and take care of her.

…………

That evening, Lin Bufan arrived at a private club as agreed.

"Director Lin!"

Upon receiving the news, Xu Qing went out to greet Lin Bufan.

The two sides had arranged a meeting time three days in advance.

"Miss Xu Qing, please!"

Lin Bufan looked at Xu Qing with a smile on his face.

"Director Lin, we're all so familiar with each other, you can just call me Qingqing!" Xu Qing stepped forward, took Lin Bufan's arm, and walked into the club.

Her intentions are obvious to everyone.

Lin Bufan glanced at Xu Qing, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Whether the two sides will have further contact depends on how the talks go.

If the two sides part on bad terms, they will rarely have the chance to meet again, let alone know how to address each other.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Mr. Ye!"

Lin Bufan followed Xu Qing into the private room and saw Young Master Ye.

"Xiao Qing, go wait outside for a while!"

After glancing at Lin Bufan, Young Master Ye turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Okay, you guys chat!"

Xu Qing glanced at both of them, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.

After the door closed, only Lin Bufan and Young Master Ye remained in the private room.

The door wasn't opened until an hour later.

Apart from the parties involved, no one knows what the two talked about during that hour.

Even Xu Qing was included.

However, the next day, Lin Bufan announced the formation of a new Beijing circle, and Xu Qing, following Ye Dashao's instructions, announced that she had joined the new Beijing circle.

……

"Bang!"

Back at Huayi Brothers, familiar voices once again rang out from the offices of the two CEOs, Wang and Wang.

"What gives Lin Bufan the right to establish the New Beijing Circle...?"

The king's expression was rather unpleasant.

Huayi Brothers' ability to maintain a foothold in the entertainment industry, besides relying on the funds from those old guard, largely depends on its connections within the Beijing entertainment circle.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Huayi Brothers is the only "capital" in the Beijing entertainment circle. Those in the know understand that the Beijing entertainment circle can do without Huayi Brothers, but Huayi Brothers cannot do without the Beijing entertainment circle.

That kind of network of connections behind the scenes is Huayi Brothers' greatest asset.

Now that Lin Bufan has established the New Beijing Circle, and Xu Qing and Jiang Wen have both announced their joining Lin Bufan's New Beijing Circle, how could he not be nervous?

"I told you not to do anything reckless, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on testing Lin Bufan. Now, are you satisfied?" The eldest brother looked at his younger brother and scolded him angrily.

"You can't blame me entirely. Suppressing, taking in, and acting as a dog—that's how it's always been. Who knew that Lin Bufan would turn against Huayi for a woman..." Little Wang also felt a bit wronged.

This has been Huayi Brothers' modus operandi over the years.

At that time, Lin Bufan did not yet have the power he has now, so after discussing it, the two decided to give Lin Bufan a warning.

As it turned out, who would have thought that the other party would be so bold as to risk offending people to the death in order to turn against Huayi Brothers?

If I had known this would happen, I would never have done it in the first place.

Of course, that's what they think now. If they had another chance, they would definitely do the same thing again, only they would be more ruthless.
