Another workday.
In just two days since its premiere, the show's viewership ratings had surpassed those of the hottest entertainment programs, and Liu Yifeng was receiving invitations from many entertainment shows to appear.
"You're the hottest person around right now. If we weren't developing the organic vegetable industry, you could go straight into acting. I could be your bodyguard; maybe that's a good choice too," Lu Fei said while looking at his phone, his expression serious as he spoke to Liu Yifeng. It seemed Liu Yifeng was truly popular.
"I've never thought about that. I've always wanted to expand my business, so I'd appreciate it if you'd save those other ideas," Liu Yifeng replied. The pile of documents had also grown recently. It seemed the show's positive impact wasn't just spreading good energy; it was also making his company even hotter.
Lu Fei shook his head repeatedly, seemingly regretful about Liu Yifeng's refusal.
Just as the two were diligently handling documents, Peng Zhou arrived again.
"I haven't contacted Mr. Liu recently, and I didn't expect your business to have expanded into the entertainment industry!"
He barged into the office as soon as he opened the door. Only Peng Zhou could be so impolite. Without even looking up, Liu Yifeng knew what kind of expression he must have had. However, Liu Yifeng felt it was fortunate he was cooperating with him; otherwise, who knew what trouble would arise.
"Well, what wind blows Mr. Peng here today?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Fei, signaling him to leave.
Thus, they were the only two left in the office.
"It's just that Brother Liu has good money-making ideas and doesn't include me. If I didn't come, I suppose you'd make all this money yourself."
Liu Yifeng knew this person wouldn't come without a reason. It seemed he definitely had a new idea.
"Brother Peng, what are you saying? I was only approached about this show temporarily, and I truly didn't expect it to have such a big impact." Liu Yifeng was speaking the truth. He had initially refused the program and didn't want to be so high-profile. But since things had developed this way, he had to accept the current outcome.
Peng Zhou just smiled, clearly not believing him.
"Since Mr. Liu doesn't want to make money with me, I'll have to seize the opportunity myself. It seems you want to enter the entertainment industry; I think it's a good idea too. So, take a look at this piece of land. Do you want it? It's perfect for building an entertainment company."
Liu Yifeng was speechless. This Peng Zhou truly wanted to venture into every kind of business.
"Mr. Peng, I believe I've made myself clear. My participation in the show was sudden, and more importantly, I'm not interested in entertainment industry matters." Because of Yun Duo'er, he wanted to stay as far away as possible, so there was no way he would get close again.
Thinking of her, he suddenly remembered Sister Jin visiting him that day. It was likely for her own benefit.
"No, I'm saying you're so popular right now, almost rivaling those trending stars. If you opened an account, wouldn't your fans just skyrocket?" Peng Zhou frowned. He really couldn't understand what this man was thinking. With such favorable conditions, he didn't know how to utilize them, which was a complete waste of such good resources.
Liu Yifeng was truly speechless. He had to admit that Peng Zhou's business acumen was unique.
"Brother Peng, I disagree with what you're saying. If you want to be popular, you can too. Your looks are even better than mine; you could definitely become an idol." Liu Yifeng looked closely at Peng Zhou. He had a pleasant appearance, completely different from his own type, but he was also outstanding among today's idols. Therefore, it would be simple for him to become famous if he wished.
Peng Zhou rolled his eyes directly. "Enough of that, don't joke around. But speaking of which, did you and Mr. Zhang cooperate to acquire that land?"
Liu Yifeng hadn't intended to hide it. When asked, he nodded directly.
"It seems Brother Zhang told you." Liu Yifeng didn't say it, but since only the two of them knew about this matter, it must have been Zhang Jin who told him.
"He initially approached me to discuss it, and I suggested he approach you. After all, that land is next to your vegetable base. If I were to invest, I'd have to talk to you anyway, so it's better to approach you directly." This was something Liu Yifeng hadn't expected. He had actually recommended such a good opportunity. Suddenly, he felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"No, with Mr. Peng's personality, he would recommend me to Zhang Jin? It seems you have another good money-making plan." It was evident that Peng Zhou was in good spirits when he arrived. Otherwise, with Liu Yifeng joking with him like that, he would have surely shown his displeasure.
"Isn't that why I'm here to talk to you? You really think I was joking? I told you there's a piece of land that's particularly good, and I've had people look at it. They say it's definitely a treasure trove of good fortune."
Upon hearing Peng Zhou's words, Liu Yifeng instantly felt that this matter might not be bad after all.
"Which piece of land?"
Peng Zhou smiled. He liked partners who knew quality when they saw it. He directly took out a map and pointed it out to him. It was a central city road in C City. Acquiring that piece of land would definitely cost a lot of money.
"This isn't cheap," Liu Yifeng sighed, still not fully understanding why he had such an idea.
Peng Zhou nodded. "That's right, it's not cheap. But the developer of this land couldn't handle it and ran off, so it's up for auction now. The price is likely to be quite reasonable." One had to admit, this person's business sense was truly impressive. It seemed he followed such news daily.
"Then why build an entertainment company?" He understood buying a good piece of land; it might have great use in the future. But to establish an entertainment company in such a prime downtown location, he didn't understand Peng Zhou's thinking.
"I've been waiting for you to ask me. I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Later, like Zhang Jin, I'll give you a design drawing, and you'll understand." Peng Zhou looked very confident, suggesting he was already preparing this project.
"Alright, then I'll wait for Mr. Peng's good news."
After exchanging a few more words, Peng Zhou left, seemingly in good spirits.
Lu Fei immediately came in. "What was he looking for you for?" he asked curiously.
"He wanted me to be a star, but I refused. If you're interested, I can recommend you," Liu Yifeng said, earning himself a roll of the eyes. Lu Fei's eyes widened in shock. Then, the two exchanged a smile.
