"Zeng Li ran away that very night."

The phone rang, and Chen Fang pressed the answer button.

"Boss, I'm risking a falling out with Da Mei to tell you the truth this time. Da Mei wants to test you now. I won't say anything more. Remember my kindness, and don't discard me after I've served my purpose."

Shen Fang's eyes lit up when he heard this. A test is a good idea. Since it's a test, it basically means he agrees.

"Sister Hailu, I'm so grateful. I'll definitely reward you properly in the future. Don't worry, Da Mei won't turn against you. I know what to do."

"Well, Da Mei and I will be leaving now. You can say goodbye to Xi Xi and the others. Oh, and Da Mei needs to go back to the film set early."

After saying that, Qin Hailu hung up the phone.

Tsk tsk, you little vixen, you're pulling this trick on me again. Fine, Zeng Damei, I'll give you a proper romantic performance to win you over.

........

Back on set, Zeng Li received 999 white roses every day, her favorite flower, each accompanied by a small card containing love poems written by Shen Fang for her.

"Ms. Zeng, Mr. Shen delivered these flowers to you today. Please sign for them."

Zeng Li glanced at the florist: "How many flowers do you have left?"

The florist smiled and said, "Mr. Shen said that as long as our florist doesn't go out of business, he will keep sending flowers to you unless you agree to be with him."

"Tell him it's too wasteful to send so many." For the first two days, Zeng Li was quite happy; women like little romantic gestures, right? But now it's been four days in a row, and she's been receiving 999 roses every day. These are real flowers! Not only is it wasteful, but it's also incredibly eye-catching. Her co-stars Jiang Qinqin, Li Lianhua, and Xu Cairen from the same drama crew have all come over and teased her about it. That rich second-generation guy is pursuing her—why "rich second-generation"? Just kidding, 999 roses! Sending them for several days straight! Is this something an average family can afford?

"Miss Zeng, these are Mr. Shen's exact words. Tonight, Mr. Shen invites you to Taibai Tower for drinks and moon-viewing, to sing and drink. This is today's card." The florist placed the love poem that Shen Fang had written for Zeng Li into Zeng Li's hands with both hands.

Zeng Li took out her phone and dialed the man's number.

"Don't bother seeing me off."

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong, Zeng Damei? Don't you like the flowers I sent you? I already told you I would pursue you relentlessly."

"Oh dear, you have people deliver these to the film set every day, and everyone's making fun of me. Can you please stop?"

"That won't work."

"If you keep sending them, I won't go over tonight."

"So, you've agreed to come over and admire the moon with me tonight?"

"Mmm," Zeng Li uttered in a voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

Shen Fang's lips curled up slightly.

"I've prepared a surprise for you. See you at 8 pm tonight."

The call ended.

A charming smile appeared on Zeng Li's pretty face. At that moment, Qin Hailu rushed over and nudged Zeng Li's shoulder with her elbow.

"Was that a call from Chen Fang?"

Zeng Li nodded: "She asked me to meet her at Taibai Tower at 8 p.m., saying she had a surprise for me."

"Tsk tsk, Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing, talented scholars and beautiful women at Taibai Tower, how romantic."

"Then why don't you hurry up and ask Director Zhang for leave? There's a dinner party tonight. Dress up nicely and go for it. He followed you all the way here because of you. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Zeng Li smiled at Qin Hailu: "With you, the spy, here, Shen Fang will definitely come."

Qin Hailu looked flustered: "I didn't... I didn't make things up."

"Tch, I know you too well. I went back to the film set on purpose to tell you, otherwise why would Shen Fang have caught up with me so quickly?"

Qin Hailu slapped her forehead: "Damn it, after all this time, Da Mei, you deliberately made me report this!"

Zeng Li smiled and said, "Yes, let's go."

Zeng Li hummed a little tune as she approached director Zhang Li.

"Wow, Da Mei is so smart! She's kept a low profile all these years. Tsk tsk."

"Director Zhang, I might not be able to join everyone for the gathering tonight, I..."

Zhang Li smiled and looked Zeng Li up and down: "Is it the man who sent you flowers who asked you out? Go ahead, go ahead."

Zeng Li blushed. "Shen Fang, really, why did you send so many gifts? Now the whole crew knows. It's so embarrassing."

"Mr. Xu, the construction is progressing very quickly." Shen Fang said. Behind Xu Wensheng was a large group of staff members in suits and ties, who were clearly social elites.

Xu Wensheng couldn't hide his smile: "After our cooperation, not only those from the Beijing film circle, but also those from the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles are now working in Hengdian. There are more than 40 film crews of all sizes. How can we not speed things up? President Shen, you really have the power. With your help, you have solved the biggest problem in Hengdian."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "It was your preferential policies that attracted them. I was just a matchmaker."

"Mr. Xu, infrastructure development is important, but our tourism development is even more important. In less than two years, with the support of various film and television production crews, Hengdian's reputation will spread, attracting a massive influx of tourists. Tourism is the economic pillar of Hengdian."

"Understood. The Dongyang and Ningbo governments have already begun integrating transportation routes and planning some hard conditions. They have made full preparations. This time, everyone will work together to develop. Don't worry, Mr. Shen, our Hengdian Group will do its best in this matter."

"Mr. Xu, we must make sure everyone feels the warmth of the people of Hengdian. Just like in Guangdong, we shouldn't bring out the natural sense of superiority that people from Zhejiang have. Service comes first, and the customer is God."

"Also, we absolutely must avoid any exorbitant prices. Our prices must be affordable. If you don't provide good service in the early stages, how will you attract tourists? We need to launch beer festivals, barbecue festivals, and music festivals."

"Everything's arranged. There's a barbecue festival tonight. Mr. Shen, shall we go check it out together? Andy Lau is also there tonight."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Me? I have something to do. Let's talk about it later. Xiao Kun, you can go with President Xu tonight to take a look."

Shen Kun patted his chest: "Leave it to me. I love the barbecue festival the most, hehe."

"This time, I've invited guests from many well-known barbecue restaurants all over the country, including Shandong barbecue, Northeast barbecue, Sichuan barbecue, Hubei barbecue, Hunan barbecue, Jiangxi barbecue, and more than 50 other famous barbecue shops from all over the country. Since we're going to have fun, we're going to do it spectacularly. We've even hired several TV stations to broadcast it live. We've also spread the word. Tonight's Hengdian Night is definitely going to be very lively."
