Chapter 397 - 397 372 News

397: 372 Chapter News 397: 372 Chapter News After much difficulty, Qin Huairen finally calmed down and followed Liu Huyi out of the White Tiger Room.

“Chairman!

Did the sucker do anything to you?

Just say the word and I’ll chop off one of his hands right away,” Hong Si fawned over Qin Huairen.

Qin Huairen, with a strong voice, coughed twice and addressed the crowd around him, “Listen up, everyone!

From today onwards, Mr.

Liu Hun is the Vice General Manager of our Gambling City!

Everyone must respect him just like they respect me; otherwise…”

Qin Huairen’s fierce gaze swept over the crowd, causing everyone to shudder.

It had been many years since they had seen such a sharp look from their chairman; they immediately nodded in agreement.

After announcing this, Qin Huairen exchanged some chips for Liu Hun, and Liu Hun bid farewell to Qin Huairen.

He didn’t want to stay long in Gambling City, especially if Qin Lian’er entangled him; that would be terrible.

When Liu Hun got home and just opened the door, Shi Bi’er rushed towards him, hugging him and looking him over from left to right, until she was sure he wasn’t missing any limbs.

Only then did she tightly cling to him, refusing to let go.

Behind Shi Bi’er, Shi Qing’er and a visibly upset Fang Tingmei also came over.

Seeing Liu Hun was unharmed, they both felt relieved.

“Stone-faced man, you’re pretty capable, huh?

Did you just sort out a debt of thirty million?” Shi Qing’er coldly remarked, but her face obviously couldn’t hide her concerned expression.

“Yes, yes, yes!

Good son-in-law!

Is the money issue resolved?

Will the bad guys come after us?

Should we move?” Fang Tingmei nervously asked Liu Hun.

Listening to Fang Tingmei’s address, Shi Qing’er’s face flashed a complex expression.

“There’s nothing to worry about, Auntie.

The matter has been resolved, and our studio no longer needs to worry about money.

We have some income now, so I’ll hire a professional accounting team to manage it,” Liu Hun told Fang Tingmei, casually depriving her of financial control.

He certainly didn’t want to leave the financial authority in the hands of someone with a gambling addiction.

Hearing that the matter was resolved and there was income, a big load was lifted off Fang Tingmei’s heart.

Whether she could manage the finances became irrelevant; initially planning to flee and live a hard life, but now she could continue to live in luxury, which was most important.

“Alright, Auntie and Shi Qing’er are watching.

I’m fine,” Liu Hun assured while caressing Shi Bi’er’s face, always so delicate and smooth as silk.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Shi Bi’er finally emerged from his embrace but still clung to Liu Hun’s arm, causing Shi Qing’er to feel an indescribable mix of emotions.

“Boss Liu, you’re back!

Are you alright?

I was just watching from the window,” Black Dog rushed over, his brothers following behind.

Liu Hun hadn’t expected Black Dog to be so loyal; not only had he escorted Shi Bi’er and her daughter back home, but he had also stayed to keep watch.

“It’s all good now!

Don’t worry!

And from now on, Hong Baldy won’t bother us anymore!” Liu Hun patted Black Dog’s shoulder and said, “Black Dog, wandering through life on the edge of a blade is ultimately not the right path.

Are you willing to follow me from now on?”

“Boss Liu!

As long as you don’t despise us, we are willing to go through fire and water and die a thousand deaths!” Black Dog was very excited, knowing Liu Hun managed to deal with Hong Big Baldy and retreated safely meant he was no ordinary guy.

Following Liu Hun would definitely be better than struggling on their own.

“Good!” Liu Hun joyfully said, then pulled out a check from his pocket and immediately wrote Black Dog a check for a million, “Take this million for now, break off your past troubles, settle down yourself and your brothers, then give me a call.

If the money is not enough, just let me know.”

Black Dog hesitated but eventually, driven by Liu Hun’s insistence, accepted the check with gratitude and, bowing deeply three times, left with his brothers from Shi Bi’er’s apartment.

Liu Hun hadn’t expected that Fang Tingmei’s predicament would turn into a blessing in disguise.

Now that he had someone familiar with the ins and outs of the casino world, as his strength gradually grew, he would need these people when entering the gambling industry in the future.

The next day, having obtained the money, Liu Hun immediately sent the advance payment for Shi Qing’er’s debut solo album to Lin Xiaoxiang.

From her, he received exhilarating news—global daily necessities giant Bao Li Company would invest heavily in recruiting celebrities of various types worldwide to create an unprecedented epic advertising documentary.

And their next location was—Huaxia!

Hearing this news, Liu Hun instantly became excited.

Shi Bi’er was considered the hottest female artist in Huaxia, but because of the joint suppression by the three giants, she hadn’t yet received an invitation from any reputable company.

However, grabbing this opportunity could further elevate Shi Bi’er’s status, step into the international scene, and the global impact of such a giant’s advertising was self-evident.

Sitting in the coffee shop, Liu Hun listened intently as Lin Xiaoxiang discussed the specifics of this invitation from the Bao Li Company for advertising endorsements.

Since becoming the liaison between Yinyue Company and Liu Hun, Lin Xiaoxiang had escaped the constant struggles within Yinyue Company, appearing much more cheerful.

Today, wearing a one-piece dress paired with a pair of cool high heels, she seemed like a refreshing breeze, especially the smiles that occasionally bloomed on her face, making the usually stern Lin Xiaoxiang unrecognizable, not at all like a middle manager but more like the girl-next-door.

“This time, Bao Li is opting for an open selection process; any artist can apply.

Their aim is also very clear, to use this selection to further promote Bao Li’s reputation significantly, and it is also a good advertising effect,” Lin Xiaoxiang told Liu Hun.

It had been a few days since she last saw Liu Hun, and she didn’t know why seeing him made her smile so much.

“Open selection?

Don’t tell me Bao Li wants to turn it into some kind of competition?” Liu Hun asked Lin Xiaoxiang, guessing that these Westerners would definitely make a big fuss and not let this opportunity slip by.

“Yes!

And it’s a competition with rewards!” Lin Xiaoxiang replied to Liu Hun.

“A competition with rewards?

The reward is endorsement, right?” Liu Hun asked Lin Xiaoxiang.

Lin Xiaoxiang shook her head and said, “No!

Not just that!

In addition to the championship getting an endorsement, they can also receive three million in prize money, which is separate from the endorsement fee.”

“These foreigners really know how to play, with endorsements and prize money both up for grabs, enough to make countless artists scramble,” Liu Hun couldn’t help but admire these foreigners.

He secretly noted down tricks of these international tycoons, thinking he might use them someday himself.

“Yeah, but this time the Bao Li’s open audition has two conditions, one is that only females can participate, another is that they must be artists,” Lin Xiaoxiang further explained to Liu Hun.

“Do you know what the specific competition events are?” Liu Hun asked Lin Xiaoxiang.

Lin Xiaoxiang shook her head and said, “Not clear yet.”

Liu Hun was silent for a while, then said to Lin Xiaoxiang, “If we don’t know the specific events, rushing to participate will definitely be disadvantageous; oh right!

When does this selection competition start?”

“In half a month, on the twenty-seventh!” Lin Xiaoxiang accurately informed Liu Hun, she was very clear about this.

“Half a month…

that’s a bit rushed.

It would be good if we could know the specific events,” Liu Hun was quite troubled, knowing full well what Shi Bi’er could handle.

If Bao Li came up with some bizarre competitions, not only could Shi Bi’er end up losing, but she could even embarrass herself.

“It looks like we’ll need a PR department in the future,” Liu Hun muttered quietly.

Lin Xiaoxiang smiled gracefully at Liu Hun and said, “Manager Liu, since we don’t have a PR department for now, why don’t we act as PR ourselves for the time being and probe Bao Li’s authenticity?”

“Us?!” Liu Hun said somewhat surprised—he hadn’t expected Lin Xiaoxiang to make such a suggestion.

“You don’t trust my abilities?

When I was with the auction house, I dealt with all sorts of people,” Lin Xiaoxiang said, her face brimming with confidence.

It had to be said, people are most attractive when they are confident, especially women.

Liu Hun, looking at Lin Xiaoxiang’s smiling face, couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat, then he nodded and said, “Alright!”

Even if Lin Xiaoxiang hadn’t mentioned it, Liu Hun had also planned to probe Bao Li Company’s strength, so the two were immediately in agreement and began to devise a strategy.

Liu Hun and Lin Xiaoxiang decided to first go directly to Bao Li’s Huaxia District headquarters to meet CEO Ou Jinyang.

After making an appointment, they drove straight to Bao Li Tower.

As an international household goods giant, Bao Li’s Huaxia region headquarters naturally had quite the presence, with architecture that looked grand and unique, designed by a renowned architect.

The interior of the building was totally Western in style, and following the receptionist up to the top floor of Bao Li Tower, they met the CEO’s secretary.

“Are you Miss Lin and Mr.

Liu?” asked the dignified CEO’s secretary.

“Yes,” Lin Xiaoxiang nodded and answered with a smile.

The secretary flipped through the appointments and then said to them, “Please follow me,” taking them to CEO Ou Jinyang’s office.

“Please wait a moment, Mr.

Ou is in a meeting and should be here soon,” the secretary said and served them two cups of coffee.

Liu Hun, sitting on the sofa, looked around at the decor, somewhat surprised as the entire office was decorated in an extreme Chinese style, with plenty of calligraphy and paintings on the walls, many of which were created by famous artists according to Liu Hun at a glance.

“Oh no!

I prepared wrong!” Lin Xiaoxiang couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Hun asked, puzzled.

Lin Xiaoxiang took out an exquisite gift box from her bag, opened it to reveal a luxurious Patek Philippe watch inside.

Liu Hun didn’t expect Lin Xiaoxiang to be so thoughtful; indeed, she had come prepared, while he had actually forgotten about this.

“Look at his office, and you’ll know his taste.

To get the details of the competition from Ou Jinyang, this watch probably won’t suffice.

We need to find a famous piece of calligraphy or painting to pry open his mouth,” Lin Xiaoxiang told Liu Hun, having dealt with numerous high-society figures before, she naturally knew how to cater to their tastes.
