My capital is quite large.

Chapter 276 Entering a Wealthy Family is Like Entering a Deep Sea

During this time, by tutoring Zhang Xinyu, Chen Duling also managed to figure out most of the most secret family affairs and rumors about the Li family.

Although Li Feng, the big boss of Haofeng Group, is still young and unmarried, he definitely has more than one child!

And Zhang must be holding one in his hand as well.

As the saying goes, once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea.

Now that they have offspring, the next thing to fight for is the title and inheritance of this vast empire.

And the most crucial key to the throne of the matriarch is very likely an academic degree!

This explains why the four top actresses who were incredibly popular during the Tang Dynasty all announced their retirement at the height of their careers to pursue master's degrees at Tsinghua and Peking Universities!

But Chen Duling would never reveal a single word of these deadly secrets to anyone.

She knew very well that she had stumbled upon Zhang's chariot by sheer luck, which was nothing short of a stroke of good fortune!

Chen Duling had to put in a lot of effort to find out about the past of this head butler and secretary Zhang in Jinling's social circles.

Before Xiao Zhang, Da Zhang was the boss's first chief secretary.

Although the specifics are unknown, judging by the timeline, it might be an original stock that accompanied the boss from humble beginnings!

……

"Oh, right, Sister Duling! There's some good news too!"

Suddenly, Tian Xiwei shifted her body slightly and excitedly held up her phone screen to Chen Duling's eyes, interrupting her thoughts.

"I got the role of Erxi, the second female lead in 'Love O2O'! And you're the female lead!"

Seeing Xiaotian's excited expression, Chen Duling was slightly taken aback, but did not say anything.

This is a big-budget film and television production adapted from a major IP, and the male lead is Yang Yang, a top male star and the son of Haofeng Film and Television!

Resources of this caliber would normally never fall into the hands of a powerless newcomer like Xiaotian.

Unless, of course, the boss has taken a liking to her and wants to sleep with her.

But it's clear that bosses Li Feng and Xiao Tian haven't given each other a second glance so far.

Xiao Tian roughly guessed: the fact that she was able to get this role, and that the female lead was Chen Duling, meant that she must have gotten close to some powerful figure!

But since Chen Duling didn't say anything, she wisely didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, now that you've got the role, let's settle down."

Chen Duling patted Xiao Tian's hand beside him, subtly changing the subject:

"After this movie is finished, you'd better go and take the entrance exam for arts schools, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Beijing Film Academy, or Central Academy of Drama, it doesn't matter."

Xiaotian stuck out her tongue: "I still have exams..."

"We absolutely have to take the exam!" Chen Duling said meaningfully.

"A degree can provide you with more options and a safety net for your future."

"At least... you won't have to go through the hassle of transferring from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program anymore."

……

Jinling, Haofeng Building.

Walking down the corridor to the mobile game R&D department, Zhang Yuxi lagged slightly behind Li Feng, pondering the key points she needed to record during the inspection later.

Pushing open the double-opening silent door of the mobile development area, you are greeted by the sound of keyboards being typed.

"President Li!" Feng Ji, the director of the mobile game department, was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Li Feng coming over in person, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"How's the progress?" Li Feng sat down at an empty testing station.

Feng Ji handed over two of the latest Xiaomi phones, his expression solemn, and said, "President Li, the basic framework and art resources are all aligned. The team has run the operation logic and social connections on the test server a few times, and the feedback is very good. Would you like to try it out yourself?"

Li Feng took the phone and lightly swiped his finger across the screen.

The screen loaded quickly; after the black-and-gold shield and dragon icon flashed, the stirring sound of war drums hinted at the grand scale of the production.

He skillfully swiped the virtual joystick a few times, buying equipment, deploying troops, and laning—the whole sequence of actions was fluid and seamless.

As the head of Haofeng Group, Li Feng rarely inspects specific projects anymore, whether in the film and television department or the game department.

But the game's name is "Honor of Kings," which made him have to make a special trip for it.

After playing for five minutes, Li Feng put his phone back on the table.

"It runs fairly smoothly, and the social networking interface is working correctly."

"At this pace, it should be released on time for the summer blockbuster season, right?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ji and the lead programmers behind him breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pledged, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we guarantee to complete the mission! We will definitely give all the online players a surprise during the summer season!"

Li Feng nodded slightly, took the suit jacket from Zhang Yuxi who was waiting beside him, and turned to walk out of the mobile game R&D department.

......

In front of the elevator, Zhang Yuxi followed beside him, holding a tablet computer.

She glanced at her newly updated work memo and quietly reported another message:

"Boss, besides the mobile game department, the PC game development department upstairs just sent a message too."

"The 'Moonlight Blade' project, led by Yang Feng, has recently made breakthrough progress in its independently developed 3D physics engine and motion capture technology."

"Oh? Have they given a release date?" Li Feng asked, intrigued.

Zhang Yuxi replied in a low voice, "Old Chen and the R&D department have reassessed the project and said that due to the large amount of work involved in the post-rendering and map optimization of the 3D Chinese style, the earliest the public beta can be launched is next year."

I thought the boss would be somewhat displeased to hear about the delay, after all, the company had invested a considerable amount of promotional resources in this martial arts MMORPG.

But Li Feng remained unusually calm: "Let's see next year then."

For such a masterpiece that represents the technological barrier of future PC games, Li Feng, a programmer by training, naturally understands the principle that slow and steady wins the race.

Now that the technology has been developed, he can easily afford to wait another six months or a year.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, swiped through the schedule on the tablet, and continued reporting to her supervisor:

"Boss, the inspection of the Musical Instruments branch is at 3:00 PM sharp."

"Zhang Erming's team of recommender algorithm project members sent a briefing yesterday, saying that the interest recommendation engine algorithm has achieved a brand new iterative breakthrough."

As he listened to the report, Li Feng prepared to step out of the elevator.

However, just as he was about to lift his foot, his gaze inadvertently followed the reflection in the sedan chair mirror and fell on Zhang Yuxi's fitted white dress.

Under the sunlight, the vast expanse of pristine white snow made the girl's already delicate face appear even more beautiful and refined.

"Boss, shall we now..." Zhang Yuxi asked cautiously when the boss remained silent.

"I'm not going to go to the music festival." Li Feng looked at Secretary Zhang's white outfit today and felt that it might bring him good luck and prevent him from going home empty-handed.

"Tell Zhang Yiming to postpone the algorithm test and inspection until tomorrow afternoon."

"Prepare the car, let's go to the reservoir."
