My capital is quite large.

Chapter 179 Choice

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Xinyu's brows furrowed into a tight knot.

"Have you talked about it?"

A hint of disappointment and disdain flashed in Zhang Xinyu's eyes. "Then I'll take my leave."

After saying that, she turned and left!

In her view, the boss's bottom line is a clean sheet of paper!

Since she's been in a relationship, she's essentially a defective product that's been touched by someone else, so naturally she's not qualified to be sent to the boss's bed.

Watching Zhang Xinyu turn and leave.

Mao Xiaotong's heart suddenly pounded. Hao Feng's head butler had come to see her personally! He only asked her if she had ever been in a relationship!

Thinking about the rumors circulating in the industry about Haofeng's boss, Li Feng... any girl who catches his eye becomes a phoenix on a branch, getting access to top-tier resources! And that boss is notoriously fastidious!

Could it be... could it be that I've caught the eye of that big boss?!

This is her only chance in her life to transcend social class and rewrite her destiny!

If she missed this opportunity, she might spend her whole life playing maids in Hengdian!

"Secretary Zhang! Please wait a moment!"

Mao Xiaotong threw down her lunchbox and stepped forward to block Zhang Xinyu's path.

Her face flushed red, and although she was extremely ashamed, her tone was firmer than ever before:

"I...I still will!"

Zhang Xinyu stopped and turned around, her eyes filled with a cold scrutiny.

"What are you or what?"

Mao Xiaotong bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, and almost with all her might, she revealed her most secret to everyone in public:

"I...I haven't done it yet!"

"I told my boyfriend I'm a very traditional person, and that kind of thing... has to be done after marriage. So I really... am still innocent!"

Upon hearing these words, the contempt in Zhang Xinyu's eyes vanished, replaced by a look of surprise.

A 23-year-old actress, in the entertainment industry that's a complete mess, can actually hold onto her principles? That's rarer than a giant panda!

If it's true, then this is definitely the boss's favorite flavor!

Zhang Xinyu did not immediately believe it.

She stepped back and simply sat down at a table in the rest area, arms crossed, her eyes fixed on Mao Xiaotong like a hawk.

"Miss Mao, I'll give you half an hour to make a decision."

Zhang Xinyu's tone was cold and ruthless:

"I've already made an appointment at a private hospital. If you decide to come with me, in addition to the routine full-body blood test..."

"The hospital will also conduct a thorough examination on you! This includes testing for sperm antibodies and whether you have undergone any form of reconstructive surgery!"

"Ms. Mao, you don't need to create trouble for yourself. If you lie about this matter, and the hospital finds out..."

"I, Zhang Xinyu, can guarantee you! You absolutely won't survive in the Chinese entertainment industry! I'll ruin your reputation and make sure you never get another role!"

"Think it through before you tell me your answer."

Faced with this almost insulting medical examination request and blatant threat.

Mao Xiaotong's tears welled up in her eyes.

But she did not back down.

She knew how terrifying her vampire-like father was, and she also knew how desperate it was to struggle at the bottom of society.

The invitation before her, though cruel, was her only lifeline!

"I'm not lying."

Mao Xiaotong raised her head, her eyes revealing a resolute determination. "I don't need half an hour. Secretary Zhang, I can make a decision right now."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and, in front of Zhang Xinyu, dialed the number of her boyfriend of two years, with whom she had a lukewarm relationship.

"Hey? Xiaotong, what's wrong?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Let's break up. Don't contact me again."

After saying that, Mao Xiaotong hung up the phone decisively, turned it off, and put it in her pocket.

She looked at Zhang Xinyu, tears still glistening in her eyes, but her tone was incredibly firm: "Secretary Zhang, we can go to the hospital now."

Looking at Mao Xiaotong's series of decisive actions.

Zhang Xinyu couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

This girl looks sweet and delicate, but deep down she's a ruthless and decisive character!

A woman who can sever ties with the past without hesitation for the sake of her future is not to be underestimated once she rises to power!

"Very good." Zhang Xinyu stood up with satisfaction.

"Congratulations, Ms. Mao. You've made the best decision of your life."

......

The morning at Zijinshan Manor in Jinling was tinged with the chill of late autumn.

On the luxurious master bedroom bed, Li Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soft, warm body in his arms.

Mao Xiaotong frowned slightly, as if the pain of her first sexual experience still lingered in her dreams.

Looking at the girl sleeping so soundly and without any guard up, Li Feng felt a sense of helplessness.

To be honest, when he inspected the film studio yesterday, he only glanced at this girl with a tragic fate a couple of times because of his memories from his past life.

The results of it?

His casual glance was blown out of proportion by Zhang Xinyu, that self-righteous secretary, and he ended up being kidnapped and brought to the manor!

"This woman's reading comprehension skills are becoming increasingly obsessive."

Li Feng shook his head inwardly, but looking at the uncarved, pure white jade in his arms, his helplessness quickly vanished.

It must be admitted that Zhang Xinyu's act of taking matters into her own hands this time yielded a pretty good result.

In Li Feng's vast harem, there are alluring women, aloof women, mature women, stubborn women, and women with exotic charm... it's a veritable garden of a hundred flowers in bloom.

But the only type of girl who is sweet and harmless in appearance, yet exudes a pure and decisive spirit, is still a blank.

Especially last night, the raw feeling of the white paper being stained with color really put him in a good mood.

……

The next morning, Haofeng Film & Television's official Weibo account released a major announcement without warning!

[Welcome rising star @MaoXiaotong to join the Haofeng Film and Television family! May your future be bright and successful!]

Following closely behind was another major project launch announcement that sent fans of the film and television series and the original work into a frenzy online:

[Haofeng Pictures' fully funded S+ level martial arts epic "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" has begun filming! Lead actor Linghu Chong: Huo Jianhua; Lead actress Ren Yingying: Mao Xiaotong! Special guest star Dongfang Bubai: Zhao Liying!]

These two Weibo posts caused another minor earthquake in the Chinese entertainment industry!

"Holy crap?! Who is Mao Xiaotong? I've never even heard of her, and she's suddenly landed the lead role in Haofeng's S+ level big-budget production?!"

"Are you crazy! To have Zhao Liying, who just became a sensation, play a supporting role as Dongfang Bubai? And to have veteran actor Huo Jianhua mentor her? This is too much of a show of power!"

"No need to think about it anymore, yet another 'heaven-sent star' has caught Boss Li's eye! Haofeng's star-making assembly line is about to start again!"

Meanwhile, inside the Haofeng Building, in the artists' lounge...

Bai Lu and Song Tie held the notices and looked at the trending topics on Weibo, their eyes practically bleeding with jealousy.

"Why should I?!"

Bai Lu angrily threw the notice on the sofa, puffing out her cheeks as she complained, "We were both personally signed by Sister Yifei! We've been with the company for over half a year, attending posture and acting classes every day. And what's the result?"

Song Tie also looked frustrated and bitter: "That's right, since Sister Yifei went to Canada, the two of us have become pitiful little devils with no one to take care of us. This time, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' was only squeezed in because of Sister Yifei's past relationship."

"You play the junior sister Yue Lingshan, and I play the little nun Yilin... we're all just there to support that Mao Xiaotong guy!"

Bai Lu bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment: "I've seen that Mao Xiaotong before. She used to be just a maid in Hengdian, doing bit parts! I don't know what kind of luck she had to climb into the boss's bed!"

"Sigh, never mind, stop being so sour."

Song Tie sighed, then patted Bai Lu on the shoulder with a clear mind. "Who told us we weren't lucky? Let's just stick to playing our supporting roles well."

The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

……

However, the news that Mao Xiaotong had suddenly become Hao Feng's rising star not only shocked the entertainment industry, but also reached the ears of some treacherous vampires.

In Tianjin, at a dilapidated and filthy outdoor chess and card room.

A middle-aged man with a full beard and cloudy eyes was holding a crumpled newspaper. The front page of the newspaper featured a news photo of Mao Xiaotong's surprise appearance as the female lead in "Swordsman".

This man is none other than Li Chao, Mao Xiaotong's biological father who threw her into a trash can when she was ten months old and is addicted to drugs, gambling, and all sorts of vices!

"Fine! You heartless brat!"

Li Chao stared at his glamorous daughter in the newspaper, his mouth practically watering with greed, and a malicious glint in his eyes.

"I gave birth to you, and now you're starring in big-budget films, and you don't care whether your own father lives or dies?!"

"I'm really worried about not having enough money to pay off my gambling debts! Fifty million! This time I'll demand at least fifty million in alimony! Don't pay? I'll expose you on TV! I'll ruin your reputation!"

Lee Chao could almost see that huge sum of fifty million dollars beckoning to him.

He immediately pulled out his phone and started dialing the hotlines of gossip media and relationship counseling programs that he had seen on TV before!

"Hello! Is this XX TV's 'People's Mediation'? I have a whistleblower! I'm the biological father of the famous actress Mao Xiaotong! She's not supporting me! I'm going to go on your show to accuse her!"

"Hey! Is this the Tencent Entertainment Gossip section? I have shocking dirt on Haofeng Films' rising female lead! I'll buy it out for 50 million! Do you want it?!"

Li Chao made more than a dozen phone calls in a row, originally thinking that these media outlets would pounce on him like sharks upon hearing about the scandals of the rising starlet.

but!

The reactions on the other end of the phone were surprisingly consistent!

"Mao Xiaotong? The one from Haofeng Film & Television?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's her! I have proof that she doesn't acknowledge her biological father!"

"Beep...beep...beep..." The calls were all hung up.

When I called back, the other end sounded icy: "Are you crazy? You dare to expose Haofeng's dirty secrets? If you want to die, don't drag our newspaper down with you! Get lost!"

He called more than a dozen times, but not a single traditional media outlet or gossip magazine dared to take his side of the story!

Many editors-in-chief immediately blocked Haofeng Network upon hearing its name!

In today's Chinese entertainment media circle, who doesn't know that Haofeng Group has absolute control over the internet?

Even the Nanshan Pizza Hut suffered a setback in Nanjing. If these media outlets that make a living by writing dare to touch Haofeng's dirty secrets, tomorrow's court summons and a nationwide ban will bankrupt them!

Desperate, Li Chao finally dialed the hotline of a senior executive in the news department of Tencent Entertainment.

In his view, Tencent is a super giant that is locked in a fierce battle with Haofeng Network, and Tencent definitely wants to know the enemy's dirty secrets!

This news, after being reported through multiple levels, was actually treated as some kind of "strategic weapon" and delivered to the president's conference room in the Fiyta Building in Shenzhen.
