At 5 PM, everyone went to a hot pot restaurant for a meal. Liu Qianqian had a great time today and made several new friends. Shen Fang was also there to keep her company. After dinner, Shen Fang took Liu Qianqian back to the Yizhuang villa area, where Liu Xiaoli was already waiting for them at the door.

Liu Xiaoli invited Shen Fang to come inside and sit down, but Shen Fang politely declined and patted Liu Qianqian's head instead.

"I'll come play with you again when I have time."

Liu Qianqian extended her finger and made a pinky promise with Shen Fang. Shen Fang gently pinched Liu Qianqian's nose, waved, and left Yizhuang.

Liu Qianqian stood at the gate, watching Shen Fang's figure disappear until it was gone. She was still standing there looking in the direction Shen Fang left when Liu Xiaoli walked over.

"Sisi, did you have fun today?"

Liu Qianqian smiled at her mother: "I'm so happy! I made several new friends today. Oh, and Mom, my brother Chen Fang is planning to open a media company. He even wrote a script called 'My Own Swordsman,' which is so funny. Brother Chen Fang also took me to the amusement park today. I'm so happy!"

Liu Xiaoli narrowed her eyes: "It seems Shen Fang is planning to settle down in this industry. Qianqian, your godfather has already set up a company called Red Starwood Media for you, specifically to promote you. Qianqian, Mom has helped you get a script called The Story of a Noble Family. How about you go meet the director with Mom tomorrow?"

Liu Qianqian looked at Liu Xiaoli with surprise: "Mom, can I act now?"

Liu Xiaoli stroked Liu Qianqian's hair: "Yes, Qianqian, you can act now. Mom will definitely make you a big star."

Liu Qianqian nodded, picked up Dongdong, and happily walked into the villa. Liu Xiaoli, however, stood outside the door, looking thoughtfully in Chen Fang's direction.

Shen Fang returned to the villa, leaned back on the sofa, smoked a cigarette, and looked at his grandson, Shen Kun. Yes, his "grandson".

"Kun'er, tomorrow you'll set up a media company called Longteng. Start with a small storefront, nothing too big. Then, go and find some popular online writers who have been writing books online in recent years—not those who work for newspapers, but freelancers. Spend a lot of money to bring them back. Also, go to Hong Kong and contact Zhong Lifang from Phoenix TV. Try to poach her from here. For now, you don't need to worry about Liangpin Shop at Beijing Film Academy. Have the company send someone to manage it."

Shen Kun was eating the dinner Shen Fang had brought back when he looked at Shen Fang and asked, "Third Uncle, are you planning to pursue this career in the industry?"

Shen Fang nodded: "Of course, otherwise why would I go to Beijing Film Academy?"

Shen Kun looked at Chen Fang: "No, Third Uncle, the family business is so big, if you just quit all of a sudden, who will be in charge? Right now, you're the one who calls the shots in Shenjia Village, and if you just abandon everything like this..."

Shen Fang exhaled a smoke ring: "I'll handle this matter after Yan Hong gets home. Don't worry about it. Just focus on doing what I asked you to do. Kun, how's things going with Brother Ma?"

Shen Kun took a sip of beer: "The situation is not good. You invested 10 million RMB before, and the penguin was burned down very quickly. I estimate that it won't be long before they come to you for donations again."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's good that he's begging for alms. I'm just afraid he won't beg for alms."

Shen Kun looked at Shen Fang speechlessly: "Third Uncle, is it really okay for you to support Tencent without any ulterior motives, just giving them money whenever they want? Besides, we've only raised less than 10% of the shares so far, it's not worth it at all."

Shen Fang leaned back on the sofa and looked at Shen Kun: "Let me test you, Xiao Kun. You've been to Hong Kong for a few years now, and you've been abroad quite a bit. Do you think the internet industry has a future?"

Shen Kun nodded: "Of course it has a future. Third Uncle, you said that the future belongs to the Internet. And now, developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom have indeed made the Internet very popular. Major investment banks are also optimistic about the future of the Internet."

Shen Fang: "Which of the most famous companies in China are currently in need of financial support?"

Shen Kun: "Shanda, Tencent, Kingsoft, Alibaba."

Shen Fang shook his head: "Fatty, you're wrong. Shanda doesn't lack funds. It has Lenovo backing it up, so they're not short of money. Alibaba has Japanese investment companies and Taiwanese conglomerates supporting it, so we can't get involved. In the end, only Kingsoft and Tencent are left."

"Although Kingsoft is in a better position than Tencent right now, I have more faith in Tencent. Besides, we're from the same hometown, so why don't you think I'd invest in Tencent and give it a hand? Pony Ma is a decent guy, although he can be a bit of a swindler, but he only swindles outsiders. We're practically family, so I'd definitely agree if he asked. And I'm really interested in Tencent's future."

Shen Kun looked at Shen Fang: "Then, Third Uncle, why don't we take a controlling stake in Tencent, or even create an internet company? We have plenty of funds. In Shenjia Village, as long as you ask, no one will oppose you. If you want to do it, you can definitely succeed."

Shen Fang rolled his eyes at Shen Kun: "Do you know how tiring it is to work in an internet company? Look at the bosses and managers of those internet companies, aren't they all bald? They work overtime until late at night every day, and they all have headaches or itchy butts and all sorts of other illnesses. Their dark circles look like they were born with them. Do you want me, with my stunning good looks, to become like them? Little Fatty, you're so mean."

Shen Kun looked at Shen Fang speechlessly: "...Third Uncle, is this not your reason for not running an internet company?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Of course not. First of all, I don't understand the professional knowledge in this area. Secondly, I'm not very interested in slowing down. If you want to do this job, you have to study hard. Otherwise, if you don't know anything, you won't be able to get in at all. Also, it's easy for people to set traps in this industry. I don't know how many people are planning to harm you. Most importantly, once you become successful in this industry, you will definitely be associated with the government. This is not what I want. I just want to be an ordinary citizen."
