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

"Are you guys still playing?"

Lin Bufan walked into the entertainment room and saw Chen Zihan, Gao Yuanyuan, Jiang Qinqin and Lin Zhiling playing mahjong.

"Honey, I lost over a hundred yesterday..." Lin Zhiling said with a wronged expression when she saw Lin Bufan.

"Lost over a hundred?"

Lin Bufan looked at Lin Zhiling with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, they were betting so big, and Lin Zhiling's luck was really bad; she actually lost over a hundred.

"That's right, only Yuanyuan won yesterday."

While playing cards, Jiang Qinqin couldn't resist commenting, "Sixty thousand!"

"bump!"

Chen Zihan, sitting to the left of Jiang Qinqin, picked up the 60,000 yuan that Jiang Qinqin had bet on and said, "Yesterday, all three of us lost, but Yuanyuan won over 400 yuan by herself."

"Thank you for your kind words, thank you for your kind words..." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smug smile.

I won over four hundred dollars easily yesterday, though the suffix uses ten thousand as the unit of measurement.

"Hmph, just you wait, I'm definitely going to win today..." Chen Zihan snorted, then played a card: "Six of Bamboo!"

"Damn it..."

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan make another bold move, the other three women gritted their teeth and stared at her.

"Self-draw, all-suit, all-pung, winning hand on the kong, three-player full house..."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect that she would get a perfect hand of all three hands, with all three winning hands.

They were playing mahjong with a stake of 5000, capped at 32, and won nearly a million in this round.

"husband……"

Chen Zihan, Jiang Qinqin, and Lin Zhiling looked at Lin Bufan with pitiful expressions.

"You guys handle your own problems; I'm not involved."

After saying that, Lin Bufan turned and left.

Just kidding, they're all his women, who would he side with?

If he wanted to keep his harem from getting into trouble, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, treat them all equally, and leave the specifics of how they interacted to themselves.

Don't assume that just because Gao Yuanyuan won money, Chen Zihan, Jiang Qinqin, and Lin Zhiling might have some issues with her, or even get into a fight.

Sometimes, for women, the relationship with mahjong partners is more harmonious.

……

"Are you alone?"

Lin Bufan entered the library and saw no one else except Liu Yifei sitting there quietly reading.

If we're talking about who loves reading, among all of Lin Bufan's women, Liu Yifei is the one who loves reading the most.

"Sister Qian and Xiaoxiao went shopping with him." Liu Yifei put her book aside and gave Lin Bufan a sweet smile when she saw him come in.

Why didn't you go?

Lin Bufan walked over, sat down next to Liu Yifei, and picked her up, placing her on his lap.

"It's not fun, I don't want to go!"

Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Bufan's chest, enjoying a moment of peace.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had lay in Lin Bufan's arms like this, chatting quietly with him.

"Mother……"

After an unknown amount of time, two childish voices suddenly came from outside.

"So this is where Mommy and Daddy hugged, how embarrassing..."

Lin Xin led her younger brother Lin Chen into the library and saw Lin Bufan hugging Liu Yifei, looking shy.

"Small in stature but big in intelligence!"

Lin Bufan smiled helplessly and put Liu Yifei down.

"Daddy, hug me!"

Lin Xin ran up to Lin Bufan with her short legs, opened her arms and looked at him in a childish voice.

"good!"

With a smile on his face, Lin Bufan bent down and picked up Lin Xin. He glanced at Lin Chen next to him and picked him up as well, holding one of them in each arm.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 1 million US dollars, 100 points, and 100 Energy Pill.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Weekly check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 500 million US dollars, 500 points, and a villa in Harbin.]

Before we knew it, it was February 11th, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which also happened to be a Monday, the day for weekly sign-in.

"A villa in Hangzhou..."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly; this reward was indeed quite random.

He had never been to Hangzhou before, yet he already owned a property there.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which is also the day Liu Yifei and Yang Mi fly to Los Angeles. Lin Bufan got up early in the morning to see them off, along with Ah Jiao and the others.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were flying to Los Angeles, but they would stop in Hong Kong en route. Gillian Chung and the others would disembark in Hong Kong, and then the plane would continue its journey to Los Angeles.

After seeing the girls off, the others also got busy.

The once bustling Yunshui Villa has fallen silent once again.

Unlike other companies, the entertainment industry cannot accurately schedule holidays, and some celebrities are even busier during holidays.

After all, celebrities need to make money. Their film and television fees are just a small part of their income. What they really make money from are activities like gigs, commercial performances, or ribbon-cutting ceremonies.

Currently, the industry's pay is relatively low. Even top-tier stars only earn between 3 and 5 yuan per episode, while the most outstanding stars in the industry only earn around 10 yuan per episode at most.

A TV series can take anywhere from three to five months to half a year or even more to film.

If you're going to make money by doing gigs, you can earn 100,000 to 200,000 yuan per appearance, or even 300,000 to 500,000 yuan per event. Even if you only attend ten events a month, you can earn millions, which is much more lucrative than acting.

However, the purpose of filming is to increase fame, and fame can increase the price of gigs, commercial performances, and fashion shows.

"Boss!"

"Why are you back so soon!"

Lin Bufan arrived at the company and unexpectedly saw Zhang Tianai.

He remembered that he had given Zhang Tian'ai a long vacation so that she could spend more time with her family during the Chinese New Year.

"I had nothing to do at home, so I came back first!"

Zhang Tianai smiled, and of course, the truth was that she missed Lin Bufan.

She hadn't noticed it before, but this time when she returned to her hometown and hadn't seen Lin Bufan for so long, his image was almost always on her mind.

"Alright!"

Lin Bufan smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to pat her head.

After entering the office, Lin Bufan suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Tianai: "Tianai, have Wang Mingliang come over."

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Tianai turned and left.

About ten minutes later, Wang Mingliang knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lin, you wanted to see me!"

"Old Wang's here, have a seat!"

When Lin Bufan saw Wang Mingliang come in, he got up and walked out from behind the table, sitting on the sofa next to him.

"I have an idea!"

After Wang Mingliang sat down, Lin Bufan looked at him and slowly asked, "What do you think of the Three Kingdoms IP?"

"Three Kingdoms IP?"

Wang Mingliang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Bufan: "President Lin, are you planning to develop a Three Kingdoms series IP?"
