Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

woman.

Bo Bing slightly raised her eyes, and everyone else was shocked.

Li Dai took a sip of wine. It wasn't really a matter of gender discrimination; the main problem was the rampant chaos in the industry and the complex relationships within it. Could sending a woman to manage it really keep these local bullies in L City in check, who had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds?

Furthermore, his wife's family has some connections with Mayor Mo. If someone is to be replaced, shouldn't he make some preparations in advance? But if it's a transfer, then the incident where he was shot in the back before can be explained.

Mo Jianjun, that old fox, is planning to discard you after you've served your purpose.

Li Dai frowned slightly, but he still didn't voice his thoughts.

"A woman? A woman is in charge of this place?" But Li Feng, who had been drinking, spoke his mind without any reservations. "It's not easy to make political achievements here."

"Looking down on women?" Wang Lanzhi was also at the table. Upon hearing this, she kicked Li Feng under the table, making him wince in pain.

Zheng Yuxiu and Li Yumei on the other side also looked at Li Feng.

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Li Feng scratched his head awkwardly. "No... I was just a little surprised..."

“They’re not friendly people. There are probably people from above watching this place,” Zheng Yuxiu wiped her mouth. “Several small projects at my mother’s house have also been suspended.”

Although she didn't explicitly state the inside story, Li Dai and Zhou Tao both knew that she was referring to the business deal with Mayor Mo being suspended.

Bo Bing held his wine glass, pondering the information he currently possessed.

If I were to build a factory, I would probably have to deal with this new mayor quite a bit. Although L City is poor, it has a good geographical location, which is one of the reasons why Zhiyu Transportation Group was able to get started and achieve industrial upgrading.

But precisely because of this, these established private transportation companies are still deeply entangled with the original management personnel, and these guys have basically monopolized the transportation traffic here.

Other drivers either pay Zhiyu a share of the profits from picking up passengers, or they secretly stay far away and pretend to pick up passengers to do it, because the bus station is one of Zhiyu's territories, and the area outside is basically full of Zhiyu's people.

Otherwise, it would be like when Bo Yuntian and Li Bo came to pick someone up. Getting beaten up would be the least of their worries. Those young people who have no manners or legal awareness are vicious. Plus, if they make a big fuss, no one is afraid. Going to jail is an honor. It's a good thing to be able to brag about it when they get out of jail. But ordinary people won't have such an easy life.

—To get rich, build roads first.

Bo Bing tapped the table, his eyes deep, as if he had slightly understood the thoughts above.

In the novel, this is a bus station in a dark part of L city; in a broader sense... the young man didn't think any further.

Bo Bing thought that the new mayor would surely bring a new spring to L City, but she wondered what her methods would be.

After dinner, the group chatted for a while. Li Yumei and Bo Yuntian learned that Bo Bing had been in Shanghai these past few days filming a movie, and had even managed to get a role in the film starring Yin Su. This was quite...

How to say?

—Magical.

Wang Lanzhi looked at Bo Bing and his brother, then at her own son, feeling a pang of resentment. Why was it that they were all sisters-in-law, yet her son was so disappointing?

Despite her thoughts, she still warmly urged Bo Bing to have some more fruit, saying, "Little Bing is really something, when she becomes a big star she can pull Bo Bo along too..."

"Mom! Why did you say those things?"

Li Bo, who was easily embarrassed, blushed as he looked at Bo Bing and said, "Let's not talk about this."

Li Feng took a deep drag on his cigarette and clinked glasses with Bo Bing. "Even though you're his savior, we should still give him gifts and try to get closer to him."

Bo Bing also drank it all in one gulp, smiling faintly without saying a word.

After getting home and taking a shower, his phone vibrated. He opened it and found that Yin Su had sent him a message to check up on him.

Have you eaten [Flower]?

[ICE] I ate. What about you, what are you doing?

[Flower] I haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry [cat is so hungry.jpg]

[Flower] There's something going on with the Yin family. The news reached me a bit late. I'm currently in contact with them and working on a solution.

Bo Bing looked at the kitten emoji and felt a little better.

At Yin Su's house?

Bo Bing thought for a moment. What happened to Yin Su's family had nothing to do with her. She guessed it was just a bunch of complicated power struggles within a large family. Yin Su had also said before that he wasn't the only heir in the family.

Looking at the empty dining table that Yin Su sent, Bo Bing felt a strange sense of unease about the power behind him.

[ICE] It's this late... They really know how to exploit people.

【Flower】I hate it, I'm so lonely.

【Flower】My godfather isn't here, and there's no one to chat with.

【Flower】I brought Hongtashan cigarettes with me too [Image]

Bo Bing glanced at the movie star's selfie of himself holding a kitten and a Hongtashan cigarette.

—Strangely clingy.

I don't know who they're talking about.

The young man sat on the bed drying his hair, tapped a button on his phone with one hand, and sent a message.

【ICE】Get some rest.

[ICE] I'll be back next week and we'll have a long chat.

Yin Su sat lazily on the sofa, turning sideways and staring at his phone screen.

【Flower】Okay.

Bo Bing listened to the wailing and howling of the couple fighting upstairs, smashing bowls and pots. She was stunned and lost in thought.

The appearance fee Yin Su gave him was handled by Li Ling through a special agent at a bank in Shanghai. Essentially, the money was withdrawn from Yin Su's account and deposited into several of his own bank cards. He also gave Li Ling and the bank agent a substantial service fee—although Li Ling didn't lack the money, no one complains about having too much.

He himself still has nearly 40 million, which is a considerable sum of money. How many people in L City have such wealth?

Given this murky situation... it seems I'll be quite busy.

"Brother," Bo Yuntian said as he came out of the shower. He looked at Bo Bing, who was lying on his lower bunk in a daze, and was about to speak when he heard the sounds of arguing coming from upstairs. He frowned and said, "Brother, I'll go up and talk to them. This family is always arguing every night and never gives anyone a moment's peace."

"They argued for a long time?"

“It’s been a month. The man comes home drunk and beats his wife and children. Sometimes he even brandishes a knife. The neighbors can’t stop him and are too scared to do so.”

"Oh," Bo Bing quickly stood up. "You dry your hair, I'll go talk to them."

Bo Yuntian was still worried that Bo Bing might get beaten up, and he was about to go up and speak up for her when he found that Bo Bing had already come down.

"elder brother?"

"Ah."

"You'll be home tomorrow. Your third aunt's family is sending up a washing machine. I have some cigarettes in the bag next to the wardrobe. Use them if you want," Bo Bing said, turning over into bed. "And take out the clothes I bought for you and your aunt."

Bo Yuntian paused for a moment, then mumbled an "okay."

Upstairs, it quieted down, with the occasional sobs of a child and a woman audible.
