My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

"They're just a few insignificant people; they can't make any decisions. Besides, I have a good relationship with Ye Xu of the Dongxu Group now. He has more influence in the south!"

Liu Jianquan said calmly, "Actually, the business environment on the mainland is much better than I imagined. Unlike more than ten years ago, when everything required connections and influence, now it's all about ability. That makes sense, since it's more open. To attract foreign investment, the business environment definitely needs to be fairer and more just. Since it's all about ability, I believe the methods I used in Hong Kong will also work on the mainland!"

"I'm about to establish a high-tech company and enter the market with short videos. I want short videos to dominate the market!"

"I know the whole process behind Tianyin Short Video's rise to fame, and I can even do it better than Ye Jianchen!"

The secretary could only nod and immediately instructed the department to prepare. She then answered a phone call and, after hanging up, said to Liu Jianquan, "Mr. Liu, Tianchen Group has sued us, saying we spread rumors and damaged Ye Jianchen's reputation. They demand a public apology and compensation for our losses!"

Liu Jianquan didn't care at all: "At a time like this, would Ye Jianchen dare to cause a big incident? Isn't he afraid that his affair will spread throughout the country? Don't worry about it, Ye Jianchen is just putting on an act; he wouldn't dare to make a big fuss!"

He then looked at his secretary and asked, "Has anything about Zhao Lili been blacklisted?"

The secretary shook her head: "Progress is slow. Zhao Lili is highly favored by capitalists, so it's quite difficult to blacklist her. I heard she's even participating in the very popular variety show 'The Life of the Soul' soon!"

Liu Jianquan immediately became displeased: "It seems we have to get Ye Xu to handle this!"

He thought for a moment and then said, "Is this 'Life of the Soul' very popular right now? Let's find some connections to get Hsing Yun involved too. She's a very kind and hardworking girl; she deserves to be blessed by heaven!"

The secretary was speechless after hearing this!

"The Life of the Soul" is currently the most popular rural healing program!

The show invites the most popular celebrities from all walks of life to live in a secluded village, allowing these seemingly untouchable big shots to do ordinary things. It's very down-to-earth, which is why many people enjoy watching it!

Because this variety show is so popular, many big names want to participate, which led the production team to set up a threshold, meaning that ordinary celebrities with high popularity are not qualified to participate!

"Director Qiu, the crew is in place, the rehearsal has been completed smoothly, and everyone knows what the core of this episode is!"

"But won't secretly installing cameras in some places cause dissatisfaction among the guests?"

"It's Yu Jiancheng, the head of the photography crew, saying to the director!"

A glint flashed in Director Qiu's eyes, and he calmly instructed, "It's alright. The celebrity guests participating in the program know that our production team has some special requirements. They signed contracts before participating, so just do as I say!"

"it is good!"

The photography crew had no choice but to leave!

Not long after, the list of guests for the new episode was announced!

Among them are sports star Liu Fei, listed company president Liu Jianquan, superstar Zhao Lili, and internet celebrity Tao Xingyun!

They come from all walks of life and are not just entertainment stars, but they all have one thing in common: they are among the most talked-about people recently, a total of eight people.

When the list was announced, it caused a huge uproar on the internet, on TV, and in live broadcast rooms!

"Yay! My idol Liu Fei is participating! I really want to see his down-to-earth life, like how he lives just like us ordinary people!"

"Why is Zhao Lili participating too? Wasn't that shrewish, mean-spirited, and diva-like woman supposed to be blacklisted?"

"If he's been blacklisted, how could he possibly participate in the show? Haters, I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

"My goddess, Nebula, is participating too! Sure enough, she's heading towards the entertainment industry. But then she runs into Zhao Lili. Will Zhao Lili bully her?"

"Don't worry, the righteous and awe-inspiring young master Liu is here. The production team has really thought things through!"

Amidst much anticipation, one by one, the invited guests arrived at the filming location by plane and car!

This location is in the south, on a secluded island, and the closest island to it is Nan'ao Island!

The island is also inhabited by indigenous people who live a simple life, a pastoral life that many people yearn for!

Before the guests arrived on the island, all their communication devices had to be handed over, and there was no internet on the island. The production team used a special network to broadcast the program back to the mainland!

This means that the guests will have to endure three days without internet and live in complete isolation!

However, everyone knew the nature of the show before they came, so no one refused!

After the eight people gathered on the island, they chatted in twos and threes!

The film crew is already shooting, with their cameras pointed at them!

They seemed quite comfortable, because this island was different from the bustling city, giving people a very peaceful and comfortable feeling!

"Young Master Liu, you're here too! This place is so beautiful and clean. The sea is in the distance, with blue skies, white clouds, and soft sand. It's such a romantic place. I hope that when I'm old, I can live on an island like this!"

Tao Xingyun stood on a high point on the island, looking at the distant sea, and stretched adorably!

Liu Jianquan smiled and said, "Your dream will come true!"

Originally, he asked his secretary to help Tao Xingyun participate in this variety show, and the organizers readily agreed. After thinking about it, he volunteered to participate as well!

Given his status and the current buzz surrounding him, it was only natural that he would be able to get into the show!

"Wow, it's so beautiful! This variety show is truly amazing; it always manages to uncover the most beautiful places in China!"

"Don't reveal the location! I don't want this last pristine place to be polluted, with tons of people driving there for tourism!"

"However, this environment suits Nebula so well, they're both so beautiful!"

A lot of rumors started appearing in the live stream!

The host appeared and delivered the opening remarks to the live broadcast and television.

"The new season of 'The Life of the Soul' has begun. We hope that the program will allow everyone to pause and appreciate the beauty of life when they are busy. This program is sponsored by Southwest Animal Husbandry, Hongsheng Real Estate, Duobao Entertainment, and Tianjian Entertainment, and will be broadcast live and simultaneously on television!"

"First, let me introduce our eight guests for this episode. Please welcome them!"

Variety show host Wang Hai, comedy host Shen Teng, and refreshing and healing host Liu Bing appeared on camera!

The eight guests also walked into the frame, all dressed casually!

The male guests, such as Liu Fei and Liu Jianquan, were mostly dressed in casual sportswear, but they had great hairstyles!

Especially popular male idols, they look handsome even in a tracksuit!

Tao Xingyun dressed up specially for today. She tied her hair in a ponytail, giving her a youthful and lively feel. The seemingly ordinary sportswear also accentuated her smooth body lines!

On the other side, Zhao Lili was wearing a fluorescent green loose tracksuit, her hair was not tied up but just past her shoulders, giving her a mature woman's beauty!

"Teacher Zhao, it's great to see you again. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration!"

While the host was introducing her, Tao Xingyun quickly reached Zhao Lili's side and said with a smile!

"We're not in the same group, so stay away from me. I'm afraid you'll keep causing me trouble!"

Zhao Lili was in a bad mood the moment she saw Tao Xingyun, and she didn't give him any face when she spoke!
