Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Thin ice stepped inside.

It seems there has already been a confrontation inside.

He greeted Zhi Yu and Cao Xin, who were walking towards him, with a forced smile, "Good morning, Boss Zhi."

"Shouldn't you all know very well whether I'm doing well or not?"

Zhi Yu's face was very unpleasant; his face was so swollen and gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip water. The middle-aged man glared at Bo Bing and Li Dai before walking past them.

Cao Xin, dressed in a black suit, followed Zhi Yu away from Bo Bing's side without any expression.

"what happened?"

The young man stroked his chin. "What did I do to him? Why is he getting so angry with me so early in the morning?"

“I had a rather unpleasant falling out with Boss Zhi a while ago,” Li Dai said, his face not looking too good. He pulled Bo Bing to the other side of the lounge. “I guess that city lord caused him some trouble again today.”

Bo Bing's mind raced, and she looked at Li Dai, frowning slightly.

He understood the meaning behind Li Dai's words.

"Is this any of your business?"

The young man stared at Li Dai.

“It’s all related,” Li Dai sighed. “Rather than wavering in the middle, it’s better to pledge my loyalty in advance. Zhi Yu just doesn’t like me and has joined Lord Yin.”

"Don't put it so harshly. In Boss Zhou's words, this is called having a broad perspective," Bo Bing picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, his eyes deep. "A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. His era is long gone. Now he's clinging on so desperately because he's unwilling to give up."

Zhou Tao arrived late, and after hearing about what Zhi Yu was targeting, she exchanged a complicated look with Li Dai.

Over the years, Li Dai had traveled around and naturally knew some of the private matters between Zhi Yu and the former city lord. At the critical moment when Lord Yin Feng was taking office and cracking down on the chaos in the transportation industry, he had fallen out with Zhi Yu again. Naturally, Zhi Yu would not let Li Dai off easily.

After a while, someone came to call Bo Bing to a meeting.

Yin Fengzhu sat upright in the main seat. When he saw Bo Bing enter, he nodded slightly to him.

He Zhongtian gave a brief introduction to the attendees.

Representatives from pharmaceutical factories, farmers' cooperatives, pharmaceutical research institutes, agricultural research institutes, and members from various departments that Bo Bing did not recognize... totaling dozens of representatives, including Bo Bing's Shenshuang Pharmaceutical Factory.

Listening to He Zhongtian's straightforward explanation, Bo Bing, sitting at the back, began to doze off.

However, Bo Bing understood the key point: Yin Feng wanted to boost the local economy and improve the income of local medicinal herb farmers.

The development of digital scientific planting bases, the upgrading of medicinal herb cooperatives, the scientific upgrading of irrigation technology, and the standardization of medicinal herb processing were all the focus of this meeting. Bo Bing only understood half of what he heard. No matter how business-minded he was, he was really not a professional in this area. After a while, he was dizzy from listening and only remembered to take notes of the key points.

Yin Fengzhu is farsighted in this regard, even forward-thinking – this time she came to properly develop the local characteristic Chinese herbal medicine economy, such as the integration of characteristic Chinese herbal medicine industry with the local tourism economy, building an industrial ecosystem, and sustainable development of Chinese herbal medicine. Even Bo Bing admires this woman's forward-looking understanding of the local industry.

No one raised any objections, and the meeting room was filled with the rustling sound of writing.

The meeting lasted until around 6 p.m., and many people who had finished their meetings had already left one after another, leaving not many people in the lounge outside.

Bo Bing stretched lazily as she walked out of the meeting room.

What are your thoughts on the implementation of the medicinal herb revitalization and development plan in L City?

A woman's voice sounded from beside Bo Bing, and Bo Bing silently withdrew her outstretched hand to maintain her composure.

"City Lord."

Bo Bing turned around and met Yin Fengzhu's gaze.

“Actually, I think there’s no problem with the implementation of this plan,” Bo Bing thought for a moment. “After three to five years of development, with a foundation in place, the subsequent technological advancements applied to planting and production might bring greater industrial and economic development to this area… Grassroots herb farmers can also earn more money, which is quite good for the entire industry chain.”

"I think so too."

Yin Fengzhu withdrew his gaze. "When will your pharmaceutical factory be ready to start operating? I can help you find cooperatives and academies of sciences. Traditional methods of planting and processing Chinese herbal medicines need further improvement. As technology advances, our planting and processing techniques must also become more scientific and standardized!"

“You’re right,” Bo Bing nodded in agreement. “As for the pharmaceutical factory going into operation… it will probably be after the New Year. I’ll refine the factory’s systems and staffing by then before we start operations.”

Yin Fengzhu nodded, as if he understood what Bo Bing said, "Indeed."

Just as the two were talking, a sudden noise came from the backyard.

—This sound shouldn't be here.

Bo Bing turned her head and saw the coldness in He Zhongtian and Yin Fengzhu's eyes.

The three of them practically ran down the stairs through a side passage and saw a small group of people gathered there.

Zheng Yuxiu knelt on the ground, with Li Yuan crying beside her; a small patch of her white dress was stained.

Zhou Tao wiped his sweat and anxiously dialed the emergency number.

Bo Bing immediately understood what had happened and rushed over in a flash. He knelt down on one knee, and sure enough, the man lying on the ground was Li Laosan!

He Zhongtian looked solemn. The guards protected Yin Fengzhu and He Zhongtian, while the others stood beside Li Dai.

"what happened!"

A commanding female voice rang out, and Yin Fengzhu's eyes darkened. "Have you caught them yet?"

“We’ve already given chase,” the guards nearby immediately reported. “We were on patrol when we suddenly heard a noise, and when we rushed over, we found this gentleman lying on the ground.”

"Brother Bing, sob... my dad..."

"It'll be alright," Bo Bing comforted her.

Li Yuan's tears flowed freely.

[Taked on a critical mission] to rescue Li Dai.

Alpha's electronic sound rang out inside Thin Ice's brain.

Bo Bing couldn't worry about anything else. The ambulance would probably take a while, but Li Dai's bleeding definitely needed to be treated first. The young man frowned and began to examine Li Dai's injuries. Li Dai's injuries were caused by a homemade lead bullet that had hit the man's abdomen but hadn't penetrated it, though it was estimated to cause damage to the liver or spleen.

In the youth's eyes, in a place unseen by others, a deep green light flashed by, and green honeycomb fibers covered both of his arms. He closed his eyes.

[Mind's Eye] Active skill. Lasts 30 seconds.

The moment Bo Bing closed her eyes, the location of the lead bullet in Li Dai's abdomen was clearly visible.

【Taking Chestnuts from the Fire】Activated. Precisely retrieves chestnuts; increases host hand movement speed by 40% and reduces temperature damage by 10% for 20 seconds.

[Finger Bone Enhancement] Activated.

Bo Bing's hand movements were extremely fast.

Even Yin Fengzhu and He Zhongtian couldn't see clearly how he precisely used two fingers to remove the lead bullet from Li Dai's bloody wound.

[Frontline 15-Minute Principle] Activated. One-time system skill: Emergency abdominal packing with hemostatic gauze for gunshot wounds.

[Title: Tailor] Activated. Filling the gap begins.

"I'll borrow your skirt as an emergency gauze," Bo Bing said, looking at Li Yuan, since she didn't have any emergency gauze on hand.

The quick-witted Li Yuan immediately realized what was happening, stood up, and pulled her white dress over her shoulder.

Bo Bing pursed her lips, tore off a clean piece of her skirt from the middle, and used it as gauze to stuff into Li Dai's abdomen. He, too, was covered in sweat as he stuffed it in.

[Yongquan - External Treatment] activated. Treatment effect reduced by 50%.

[Title: Tailor] Activated. Gap filling completed.

This skill makes such a big wound feel like it's being stuffed into a cotton doll.

The mechanical sound of the Alpha faded away.

[Task Called for in a Time of Crisis] Mission Completed. Target's health has stopped decreasing.

The atmosphere at the scene was very tense.

Bo Bing let out a breath, stood up, wiped his sweat, and casually draped his coat over Li Yuan's shoulders.

"The bleeding has stopped."

The sound of an ambulance could be heard in the distance.
