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

The crew has been filming intensively for some time now, and not only Lin Bufan, but also the other staff and actors in the crew need to rest for a day to relax.

"Bufan, what do you think of the renovation?"

Early in the morning, Chen Zihan brought Lin Bufan to this courtyard house in Shichahai.

Starting last year, Chen Zihan took charge of renovating this three-courtyard house with a back garden. For her, this would be her and Lin Bufan's future home.

"good……"

Lin Bufan walked into the courtyard house and nodded with satisfaction at its completely renovated appearance.

The courtyard house that Lin Bufan gave as a newcomer gift was a rather desolate place, overgrown with weeds and uninhabitable.

After renovation, the original courtyard house style has been preserved. With Lin Bufan's suggestion, the style has been changed to a new Chinese style. Of course, for the convenience of future life, some household appliances and a separate bathroom are definitely required.

The row of back rooms at the entrance of the courtyard has all been opened up to form a reception room and a suite rest room.

Inside the moon gate at the entrance to the courtyard, there are two rooms that will be used for the future nanny. Such a large courtyard house will definitely need to employ a nanny, otherwise Chen Zihan will not be able to keep up with the cleaning alone.

Entering the second courtyard through the hanging flower gate, the east wing has been converted into a kitchen and dining room, while the west wing has been converted into a chess and card room and an entertainment room.

The main hall remains unchanged, still serving as a reception area. The bedroom on the right has been converted into a tea room, and the bedroom on the left has been converted into an editing room. The small room near the left, which was originally a study, has also been opened up to store documents and other materials.

Passing through the right side of the main house, you enter the third courtyard, which is the actual residential courtyard, with a total of four suites with private bathrooms.

On the far left of the three courtyards, there is a moon gate that leads directly to the back garden.

Chen Zihan meticulously selected every brick and tile for the renovation of this courtyard house. Over the past six months, she has devoted all her energy to this project.

"From now on, this will be our home."

Upon entering the bedroom, Chen Zihan pounced on Lin Bufan, lying on top of him and feeling his strong, powerful heartbeat, which brought her a strange sense of peace.

"This will be our home from now on!"

Lin Bufan gave Chen Zihan an affirmative answer.

Hearing Lin Bufan's affirmative answer, Chen Zihan smiled. Although he didn't belong to her alone, she wasn't greedy. As long as there was a corner in his heart that belonged to her, she would be content.

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as the two were enjoying their tender moment, a phone call broke the spell.

"Feed? Mr. Wang!"

Chen Zihan glanced at her phone and, at Lin Bufan's prompting, answered the call.

This "General Manager Wang" is actually Wang Zhonglei, the junior executive at Huayi Brothers.

Chen Zihan is currently still under contract with Huayi Brothers.

"Come to the company right away."

On the phone, Mr. Wang's voice sounded somewhat stern and hurried.

"Mr. Wang, I have something to attend to..."

Chen Zihan was about to refuse.

"Chen Zihan, you haven't worked for half a year. Out of respect for Director Lin, I haven't said anything. But today, right now, you must come to the company." Wang Zhonglei's tone was serious and left no room for refusal.

"I……"

"Mr. Wang, you seem to have a lot of temper..."

Just as Chen Zihan was about to speak, Lin Bufan snatched the phone from her hand, his tone mocking.

He wouldn't even dare to speak harshly to his own woman, so how could he tolerate others ordering his woman around?

"Director Lin?"

Wang Zhonglei was stunned. He didn't know that Chen Zihan was currently with Lin Bufan, otherwise she wouldn't have used such a tone.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry, my attitude was bad just now, I apologize."

The Wang brothers' success wasn't solely due to their powerful connections; their ability to decisively take risks and let go of burdens is truly admirable.

"Speak, Mr. Wang, why are you in such a hurry to send Sasha to the company? What's the matter?"

Lin Bufan asked directly.

Chen Zihan is just her stage name; her real name is Chen Shasha, and Lin Bufan usually calls her Shasha.

"Director Lin, I'm not lying to you. I made an appointment with Director Liu from the State Administration of Radio and Television, and he specifically requested that Chen Zihan accompany him, so..." Wang Zhonglei told the truth.

This Director Liu is in charge of script review. If you offend him, it will be almost impossible for any script, whether for a movie or a TV series, to pass review.

Even the most meticulously crafted script can be found to have a multitude of flaws if one nitpicks.

"So you mean for my woman to be with other men, Mr. Wang, is that what you mean?"

Lin Bufan's face instantly darkened.

"Director Lin, you're a smart man, and you own a company, so you should understand the stakes involved..." Wang Zhonglei said earnestly on the other end of the phone.

Since Lin Bufan's scandals started circulating online, his past romantic affairs have been thoroughly exposed.

Including Chen Zihan.

Back when they were on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," quite a few staff members witnessed Lin Bufan and Chen Zihan kissing.

Therefore, Chen Zihan is now one of Lin Bufan's rumored girlfriends on the internet.

Lin Bufan didn't believe the other party was unaware of this.

"What if Sasha doesn't go?"

Lin Bufan's voice gradually turned cold.

"Director Lin, you are also the third largest shareholder of Huayi Brothers. I hope you will put the company's interests first in everything you do."

In Wang Zhonglei's view, Lin Bufan's relationship with Chen Zihan was nothing more than a fling. What does money matter as long as a woman is good?

"From now on, no!"

"Director Lin, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't you hear me? Fine, I'll tell you again seriously. From this moment on, I, Lin Bufan, am no longer the third largest shareholder of Huayi Brothers, or even a shareholder anymore. I'm withdrawing my investment. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Also, regarding Sasha's contract, if Huayi agrees to terminate it, fine; if not, then we'll see you in court."

After saying that, Lin Bufan hung up the phone.

Previously, Lin Bufan thought that cooperating and forming an alliance with Huayi Brothers could avoid many problems, but he was clearly overthinking it.

The other party knew perfectly well that Chen Zihan was his woman, yet he still wanted his woman to accompany him for drinks, clearly showing that he didn't respect him.

If that's the case, what's the point of cooperating?

"husband……"

Chen Zihan looked at Lin Bufan with a touched expression.

Huayi Brothers is a formidable force in the entertainment industry; who would dare to offend them easily?

Now that Lin Bufan is willing to offend Huayi Brothers and even withdraw his shares from Huayi Brothers for her sake, how could she not be moved?
