My capital is quite large.

Chapter 216 The Restrained New Chief Secretary

Emerging from the upscale clubhouse by West Lake, the black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove on the highway back to Nanjing.

The atmosphere in the spacious and luxurious rear seats of the car was unusually quiet.

The new chief secretary, Zhang Yuxi, was sitting upright against the edge of the car door, her hands resting somewhat awkwardly on her knees.

Although she had been trained by Zhang Xinyu for three years, theoretical knowledge is ultimately insufficient; this was her first time going out with the big boss.

Just now in the tea room, watching Li Feng chatting and laughing with that legendary e-commerce godfather, the oppressive feeling brought by that top-level capital made her afraid to even breathe too hard.

Li Feng leaned back in his chair, turned his head, and looked at his new secretary beside him, who was as nervous as a fully drawn bow.

He didn't feel angry or impatient; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

After all, when Zhang Xinyu was first promoted by him, she was even more unskilled than this girl, and couldn't even understand a report.

It's normal for anyone to feel an instinctive sense of awe when faced with an absolute disparity in power and wealth.

"Relax, don't be so tense."

Li Feng casually broke the silence in the carriage: "I've been listening for a while today, what do you think of Jack Ma?"

Zhang Yuxi was startled by the boss's sudden test.

She instinctively displayed the "caution in speech and action" she had learned over the past three years, lowering her head and timidly saying, "Boss... how could I dare to casually comment on someone like Boss Ma behind his back..."

While this answer was flawless, it also seemed overly submissive.

Li Feng shook his head and couldn't help but offer a word of advice:

"Yu Xi, as my chief secretary, it's right for you to be cautious in your words and actions, but you can't lack your own opinions and keen insight."

"If Xinyu were sitting here, the current state of eBay and the due diligence data on that game would already be in my hands by now."

When Li Feng used Zhang Xinyu as a benchmark, a glint of light flashed in Zhang Yuxi's eyes, which had been somewhat timid!

"Boss..."

Zhang Yuxi quickly opened her briefcase, pulled out a document that had been clipped to her briefcase with a paperclip, and spoke with a hint of eagerness to prove herself:

"Actually... I've already prepared the information."

"Oh?" Li Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, took the document, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the boss open the documents, Zhang Yuxi quickly reported to her supervisor:

"Boss, actually, eBay China ended its partnership with eBay last year. They're basically a discarded pawn by foreign capital now, and their market share in China has been squeezed to almost zero by Taobao."

"Therefore, the reason why they dared to offer a sky-high price of 17 billion to compete with Alibaba for 'Da Zhangmen' is that it was a desperate gamble at the end of their rope! They wanted to take advantage of the explosion of mobile card games to make one last high-stakes gamble to transform and turn the tide."

"Also, regarding the development team of 'The Great Master'..."

Zhang Yuxi was still giving a clear and organized report on various financial situations and competitive backgrounds.

But at this point, Li Feng was no longer listening carefully to the specific details of her subsequent report.

His gaze swept over the documents and landed on Zhang Yuxi's delicate face.

"His business skills are actually quite good." Li Feng secretly praised himself.

It seems that Zhang Xinyu has put a lot of effort into ensuring that this girl has a very solid foundation in administrative management and business intelligence gathering.

The only problem is that this girl is too reserved about the other aspect of the "secretary" role.

Like a dutiful robot, she lacked Zhang Xinyu's charm and keen observation.

While Zhang Yuxi was still earnestly reporting the loopholes in eBay's financial chain...

"Alright, put it away."

Li Feng's sudden interruption cut off her long speech.

Zhang Yuxi immediately shut her mouth, looking at the boss with some trepidation, wondering if she had said something wrong.

Li Feng tossed the documents aside, gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window, and calmly gave the order:

"Call Tang Yan."

Tell her she doesn't need to come to the manor tonight.

"Okay, boss." Zhang Yuxi took out her phone and skillfully found Tang Yan's number, but her finger hovered over the dial button and then stopped.

She blinked her clear, large eyes, like a dutiful lobby manager, waiting professionally for Li Feng's next instruction.

"Boss, should I notify Sister Shishi or Sister Qinqin?" Zhang Yuxi asked dutifully.

Looking at the girl's completely bewildered and adorable expression.

Li Feng gave a cold snort, sounding somewhat annoyed.

He reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuxi's pointed chin, forcing her to turn her head and look directly into his eyes.

"It's your turn."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi's brain went blank for a full three seconds!

"Change...to me?!"

When that electric current finally broke through her rationality and she understood the meaning behind those words, Zhang Yuxi froze in the leather seat!

Immediately afterwards, a surge of ecstasy overwhelmed all her restraint and awkwardness!

It's been three years!!

Confined to that upscale apartment, day after day, I studied wine tasting and administrative etiquette, watching those actresses on TV wielding immense power...

She dreams of sitting at the table!

"Yes...it's the boss!"

……

at the same time.

Hengdian World Studios, a web series filming location where the budget seems to be quite tight.

The title of this drama sounds not only absurd, but even ridiculous – "The White-Clad School Beauty and the Long-Legged Girl".

The plot is a collection of all sorts of old-fashioned Mary Sue melodramatic tropes.

But at this moment, right in the center of the film crew, Zhang Tianai, the female lead dressed in a simple white dress, was holding the script and carefully studying the emotions behind each line.

"Teacher Tian'ai, it's so hot today, why don't you have some ice water and rest?"

The production director, beaming with smiles, approached and personally handed over a bottle of mineral water with the cap already unscrewed. His attitude was even more respectful than when he met his own mother!

Not only the director, but the entire crew, from production assistants to lighting technicians, didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Zhang Tianai!

There is no other reason.

Although this is a poorly made web series, the female lead was personally handed over by Zhang Xinyu, the head housekeeper of the president's office!

In this entertainment industry, as long as someone gets involved with President Haofeng's office, who knows if this seemingly unknown actress is actually some kept woman by the big boss?

If one day she rises to prominence and becomes a phoenix, they wouldn't dare to make things difficult for this lady even if they had ten times the courage!

"Thank you, director. I'm not thirsty. Let's move on to the next take."

Zhang Tianai politely declined the iced water, her eyes revealing a resolute determination.

Looking at the awe-inspiring gazes around her, Zhang Tianai felt a deep bitterness in her heart.

She knew that her current "power" was nothing more than a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

The phone call a few days ago, which determined her fate by choosing between two options, marked her complete defeat at the gamble on the shortcut to power.

Zhang Yuxi has already risen to the top and is now by that man's side.

And all she got was this web series as compensation, which sounded like a joke just from its title.

"Since I can't be the woman by the boss's side..."

Zhang Tianai looked down at the melodramatic script in her hand, clenching her teeth.

"Then I'll have to fight my way out myself!"

"So what if it's a web series? So what if the plot is ridiculous?"

"As long as I get exposure, as long as I become famous! Even if I have to ruin this terrible drama, I'll fight my way to the top in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

With this almost resolute determination, Zhang Tianai threw herself into front of the camera without hesitation.

For her, "The White-Clad School Beauty and the Long-Legged Girl" was the starting point of her entire career.

It is also her bargaining chip for turning the tables in this cruel arena of fame and fortune!
