Upon hearing Zhao Chen's invitation again, Li Zi inexplicably felt that this might actually be something worth doing.
But he still needs to find out more when he gets back whether what Zhao Chen said is true.
After all, he knew some big names in the business world.
Then, not long after, some of his friends sent him new messages:
“Gigi, why are you asking about this guy? He’s just a mainland Chinese guy. He does have some money now, probably a net worth of several billion.”
"This kid works in the internet industry, what does he have to do with your entertainment circle?"
"You still lack social experience, so be careful not to get scammed."
"These mainland guys have no resistance to the stars from our Hong Kong city."
"He might be thinking something bad, so you'd better be careful."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Zi simply smiled calmly.
If Zhao Chen really wanted to do something bad, she would be more than willing.
This young master is incredibly handsome.
With Zhao Chen's looks, he'd be a force to be reckoned with in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
No one can stop them.
If Zhao Chen had been willing to enter the entertainment industry, he would probably have become a legend long ago.
But Li Zi knew very well that someone of Zhao Chen's caliber looked down on actors.
Unless it has a special purpose.
Otherwise, people wouldn't even give her a second glance.
Just like his brother, he is a respectable artist. His character, attitude towards mainland China, and his frequent charitable acts are what made Zhao Chen value him.
Li Zi could sense that Zhao Chen looked at him as if he were a slightly more attractive work of art.
I appreciate it, but I don't value it.
Considering the other person's status and position, Li Zi couldn't help but sigh softly.
But Zhao Chen also invited him to the mainland, so now she's in a rather awkward situation in Hong Kong.
In a limbo, neither good enough nor bad enough.
They have classic roles, but it's very difficult to go further and become even more popular.
Li Zi is 29 years old this year.
For a woman, thirty is a huge threshold; once she reaches thirty, she may only be able to play the role of a mother.
Especially in this port city, people from all walks of life are too snobbish.
She hasn't played a significant role in a while.
She wasn't invited to movies, and she looked down on TV dramas.
She also needs to eat, and she wants more exposure.
If you could go to the mainland at this time, it would indeed be a very good choice.
She had also heard that the pay for films and television shows in mainland China was higher.
It's much better than the port city area.
After thinking it over, she decided to give it a shot.
Moreover, she felt that there was a very important reason, and that was Zhao Chen himself.
This man, though young, wields great power and possesses a very strong network of connections and strength.
Although the information gathered by friends in Zhonggang City only indicated that Zhao Chen was relatively wealthy.
A few billion isn't a particularly large sum for these well-known tycoons in Hong Kong.
But for Li Zi, it was already an astronomical sum.
She grew up in a poor environment and also has a younger brother.
She also wanted to help her younger brother achieve a better life.
Once you have a clear concept of this idea, the rest will naturally follow.
Zhao Chen had given her his contact information beforehand, so she immediately picked up the phone and called him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Chen's clear and magnetic voice came from the other end: "Yes, who is this?"
When Li Zi heard her voice again, his heart skipped a beat.
“Zhao Sheng, I am Li Zi. We just met yesterday.”
"I wonder if you still consider my invitation valid?"
When Zhao Chen heard the other party call, he knew that they had finally agreed and were tempted.
Zhao Chen smiled and answered directly: "Of course, as I said, the invitation to Miss Li is still valid."
"Ms. Li is naturally beautiful and is an actress I have always admired."
“You haven’t been given a proper role in Hong Kong, which I think is a real waste of your talent.”
"Although the entertainment industry in mainland China is not as developed as that in Hong Kong, it has enormous potential. Ms. Lai's joining now is definitely a very worthwhile investment and deal."
"You will gain both fame and fortune, and earn much more than you would in Hong Kong."
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Zi finally gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble:
"Then, please take good care of this young lady, Mr. Zhao."
"Am I going to the capital now?"
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "That's right, we'll book your plane ticket, and someone will come to pick you up."
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Zi was naturally very happy.
She felt that it was already very kind of Zhao Chen, a big shot, to personally tell her these things.
They value her highly.
After all, someone like Zhao Chen could easily send anyone to coordinate with her.
Zhao Chen had already discussed the subsequent treatment and other matters with Li Zi.
It was indeed a condition she couldn't refuse!
Most importantly, Zhao Chen then gave her a huge surprise.
For some reason, after making up his mind, Li Zi decided to head north immediately to seek his opportunities.
My family was actually a bit opposed, but they were swayed by the generous offer.
After receiving that generous resettlement allowance, they didn't say anything more.
Of course, the only person who is really close to Li Zi now is her younger brother, Li Ying.
Hearing that his older sister was going to the north to develop her career this year, he, as her younger brother, was indeed worried.
He felt he had to go with his sister to see what was going on.
After all, they were unfamiliar with the environment after moving north, and they didn't know anyone there.
What if it's a scam?
However, Li Zi specifically asked her brother about it.
Leslie Cheung smiled and said to Gigi Lai, "Gigi, congratulations on making the right choice. You will definitely not regret doing this."
"Achen is a very capable young man, and his family has a very powerful background!"
"To be honest, these big shots in Hong Kong all look like they have a lot of money, but when it comes to influence, they are far inferior to him."
"He's not even worthy to carry his shoes!"
That's all I can say. You'd better make the best of it.
Upon hearing Leslie Cheung say this, Lai Chi immediately knew that she had not made the wrong choice.
And the feeling of my heart racing became even stronger. I even couldn't wait to go to the capital.
He was afraid that if he didn't seize the opportunity, it would slip away right before his eyes.
So, Li Zi took his younger brother and flew directly north.
She originally thought that Zhao Chen was already being very generous by sending a manager or president to pick her up.
In fact, as soon as she got off the plane, she saw a group of people in suits waiting there.
Her English name was written on it.
After all, she had disguised herself before coming here.
Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are still quite popular and highly regarded.
She was also a little afraid of trouble, so she changed her makeup beforehand to make herself slightly unrecognizable.
Otherwise, if you encounter fans who prefer Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars, it will cause a lot of trouble.
He thought that after these bodyguards in suits picked him up, he would have to wait a while before he could meet Zhao Chen, the young master.
As a result, the seven bodyguards led them directly to a convoy.
Looking at the luxurious motorcade, Li Zi and her brother couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
Sure enough, his aura is different; he truly lives up to his reputation as a young master from the capital.
However, such a high-level welcome made Li Zi feel a little flattered.
However, when she got into the stretch Lincoln, she found that Zhao Chen, a young master from Beijing, was already sitting inside.
"Mr. Zhao, you actually came to pick me up in person? Thank you so much..."
Li Zi was once again flattered, as she was very happy to receive such attention.
She had previously felt that there was a huge gap between herself and Zhao Chen, and any thoughts she had about him quickly faded away.
There is no future for the two of them.
They weren't from the same world, and she knew very well what these top wealthy families were thinking.
In particular, Zhao Chen is the eldest son of a wealthy family in Beijing, which may have more rules and regulations compared to the wealthy families in Hong Kong.
Then it's even less likely for her.
Moreover, Li Zi is a very strong-willed woman. She also hopes to change the status quo through her own abilities and provide better living conditions for her younger brother and family.
Even with all her efforts, it was still very difficult for her to achieve her original dreams and goals.
However, coming to the mainland might bring her new opportunities.
Hearing Li Zi say that, Zhao Chen smiled and replied:
"Ms. Li, there's no need to be so polite. Once you sign with our company, you'll be one of us. Let me take you to your new place first."
Beside him, Li Zi's younger brother, Li Ying, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Zhao Chen's aura was too strong, which was very oppressive to ordinary people like them.
Although Zhao Chen always greeted everyone with a smile and seemed very approachable.
But his demeanor was something that ordinary people could not handle.
Li Zi could clearly sense her brother's unease and anxiety, so she gently took Li Ying's hand to comfort him.
“Zhao Sheng, this is my younger brother, Li Ying. He was worried about me going alone, so he came with me.”
"I want to check out the situation here and maybe have someone take care of my daily life."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, because he clearly remembered that in his previous life, Li Zi married a crippled tycoon because her younger brother was in a car accident.
The wealthy man was of average appearance, but he was obsessed with pursuing Li Zi.
Li Zi initially disagreed, but after her brother's car accident, she urgently needed a huge sum of money for medical expenses.
She simply couldn't afford it, nor did she have the connections to hire the best doctors.
In the end, we had to ask this wealthy man from Hong Kong to help us.
Of course, that guy also knew how to take advantage of people's misfortune, and immediately seized the opportunity to strike.
He would only help if Li Zi married him.
And so, the two of them got together.
But this tycoon did indeed dote on Lai Chi, and he was extremely accommodating to this goddess of the port city, taking good care of her in every way.
Regardless of whether Li Zi truly loved this man, her married life appeared quite happy on the surface.
However, by this time, Li Zi had already switched allegiance to the mainland, and her life trajectory had changed.
Her younger brother also came along, so Po-ho probably won't have a chance to continue pursuing Lai-tzu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile, feeling that his unintentional action seemed to have changed the fate of many people, which was quite interesting.
She now enjoys the feeling of directly changing other people's destinies.
There is a sense of exhilaration in breaking free from the shackles of fate.
Since that's the case, then let's have some fun.
“Miss Li Zi, it’s very good that you have family members with you.”
"It can help you adapt to life in mainland China better."
"Actually, the mainland is developing very rapidly now, and the entertainment industry is also booming."
"I guarantee that it won't be long before the mainland entertainment industry surpasses the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and its size will far exceed your imagination."
Hearing Zhao Chen say that, Li Zi assumed that he was just trying to make her happy.
The younger brother, Li Ying, was extremely nervous, but he didn't take Zhao Chen's words seriously.
In their view, the mainland is still a relatively backward place and cannot compare with Hong Kong.
However, after passing through many streets in the capital, their situation changed somewhat.
This place is much better than they imagined!
They were almost in disbelief when Zhao Chen led them to a luxurious villa.
"Zhao Sheng, this...this is for us to stay in?"
Zhao Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, you are among the first Hong Kong stars to join me, so I am naturally willing to give you the best treatment."
"To use our idiom, it's like spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones; I also believe in Miss Li Zi's potential."
"Don't worry, now that I've brought you here, I'm confident I can train you to become a top-tier player."
"You can make me even more money then."
"These are all the treatment you deserve. Go in and take a look."
"It's much more comfortable than those pigeonhole-like houses you live in in Hong Kong, isn't it?"
Hearing Zhao Chen say that, Li Zi and her brother were both a little embarrassed.
Despite having already starred in many classic works in Hong Kong, including movies and TV series, Lai Chi has played a variety of roles.
But to be honest, I really can't save much money.
When she first started out, her pay was very low.
Even now, it hasn't grown much.
This is after she has already played many classic leading roles and her fame has soared.
However, the salaries and benefits offered by the port city are not enough for them to buy luxury homes.
Having a place to live is already a great blessing.
The real estate market in the port city has developed rapidly, with housing prices soaring.
However, after the financial crisis, housing prices quickly fell back, and Zhao Chen quickly bought a lot of houses and land in the port city through his company in the south.
Before long, these places will recover and appreciate in value.
However, as someone who has only recently become famous, it is really difficult for Lai Chi to find a room in Hong Kong that suits her taste.
Seeing this huge villa in front of them was something they never dared to dream of before!
