No. 8 Jiashu Road.
Clear Water Bay Building, Sai Kung.
From the outside.
He would never have thought that the famous Sir Shao of Hong Kong did not live in a villa.
Instead, he lived in a two-story apartment that was only 2500 square feet.
In the dining room.
Sir Shao, who was in his sixties, was silently eating exquisite food.
Opposite him was Fang Menghua, whose entire body was exuding a bejeweled aura.
At first glance, the atmosphere between the two of them did not seem like a couple.
Instead, it was the subordinate waiting for the boss to finish lunch.
(Concubines are officially recognized by the Hong Kong government. Although their status is a little lower, it's not a problem to call them husband and wife.)
This actually stemmed from the strange way they lived together.
Fang Menghua had two residences.
The dome-style villa near the Shao Group office building on Qingshui Wharf Road was located in the downtown area, only four to five minutes away from the office.
The other was an inshore villa located in Akong Bay, Saigon, which was mainly for tranquility.
Fang Menghua and Sir Shao did not live together.
Fang Yihua would only go to the Shao family's residence to have lunch with Sir Shao on Sunday.
They stayed for about three hours each time.
Part of the reason was due to the existence of the first wife, Huang Meizhen.
Fang Menghua had been living with her two younger sisters and a pet kitten.
After marrying Sir Shao, she had never had a child.
This way of getting along was quite like a pair of business partners.
Time was always arranged. There would never be surprises or accidents.
Sir Shao put down his chopsticks.
He wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth with a napkin and slowly said,
"Menghua, I heard from Weiming that many employees have left the company recently?”
"Did Weiming report to you again?" Fang Menghua frowned.
Shao Weiming was the eldest son of Sir Shao's first wife, Luo Meizhen.
He had just returned from Singapore and had joined Shao's Films.
"As the administrative manager of the company, Weiming will naturally ask about this. Don't think too much about it.”Sir Shao frowned.
"Yes, I can't stop those who want to leave when their contracts are up. Those who don't want to leave and go to another company, as long as they can pay the penalty for breaching the contract, they can follow the proper procedures.”
Fang Menghua said according to the situation, but she did not say her true thoughts.
She did not tell Sir Shao what she had done.
"It just so happens that the production department isn't doing well. If it's not important, just leave. Don't worry about not being able to recruit people.”
Sir Shao nodded in agreement.
The monthly salary system adopted by Shao's Film Company.
In other words, the staff and actors of Shao's films were all workers.
There was no so-called salary, but food and accommodation were included.
Recently, Shao's Film Company had no new plans to shoot.
That would be equivalent to raising those people for nothing.
Waste money.
There was no loss for some people to jump ship.
Anyway, in Sir Shao's opinion, this employee could be hired at any time.
He had already shifted his focus to Limitless TV Station.
He was more than happy to do such a thing.
It was not exactly what he wanted.
It didn't matter. It was just the right time to cut expenses and remove the burden.
However, Fang Menghua thought that it was because of her that so many people had left.
That was why they had to deal with it differently.
"I think so too. It's fine as long as the experienced old people stay. This way, we can save money.”
Fang Menghua agreed with him and asked,""How has the station been recently?"
"Ah Xiao's health isn't too good and he's recuperating in the hospital.”
Sir Shao shook his head slightly and said a little worriedly.
The television station was jointly founded by Sir Shao, Li Xiaohe, and Qi Dezun.
Recently, Lee Xiaohe's heart disease had been getting more and more serious.
He could die at any time, and at that time, the television station would probably welcome another wave of turmoil.
Fang Menghua was not a pretty face, so she naturally would not have thought of this problem. She suggested with a smile,"Are you worried about the shares after Uncle Xiao passed away?”
Sir Shao wiped his silver mirror and put it back on,""The chairman of the board of directors is Xiao, and he's also the major shareholder.”
"But he never asked about it. I've always been the one running the television station.”
"But I'm just as worried as you.”
"To put it bluntly, the hospital has already sent news that Xiao is seventy-eight years old and won't be able to hold on for long.”
"What I'm worried about is that after Xiao passes away and his two sons split up, someone will want to take over the board of directors after getting the shares.”
"When the time comes, I can't say much because of my previous friendship with Ah Xiao. Moreover, the shares can't compare.”
Fang Menghua pondered for a moment before saying,"I think you're worrying too much. If Uncle Xiao passes away, he'll leave behind real estate, property management, hotels, steel pipes, and so on.”
"With so many businesses, this broadcasting company shouldn't be worth the Li brothers making a big fuss over.”
"As you said, the television station has been thriving under your management for the past ten years.”
"Then why not run for the chairman of the board of directors? As long as it was successful, even if they were the major shareholders and had the voting rights in their hands, the company would still be in your hands.”
"And even if they join the board of directors, they probably won't want to control an unfamiliar industry. The right to speak will still be in your hands.”
"So, your concern is possible, but it's unlikely.”
Sir Shao nodded in agreement and smiled."That makes sense, but we still have to prevent them from suddenly having a whim. How's the financial situation at the finance department?”
"Finance is very healthy."
Fang Menghua replied and asked,"But if we want to buy the shares of the television station from Uncle Xiao, that might not be enough. The film company still has to operate, and we can't draw that much money.”
"Not from Xiao. I want to buy a portion from his son after he passes away. It's enough as long as he can firmly control the television station. So, we have to start cutting off a portion of the programs that have no profit.”Sir Shao laughed.
"I support you. The television station is the Andersons 'career. If you only buy a portion of the shares, I don't think the Li brothers will give up the dividends and mess things up.”Fang Menghua smiled and nodded in agreement.
"You're right."
"Do you want to go out to the television station today?" Sir Shao stood up and smiled.”
"Sure. It just so happens that there's nothing urgent to deal with at the company.”Fang Menghua naturally had no objections.
TVBTV was located at 77 Broadcast Road, in the district of Guantong, which was not in the same building as Shao's office building.
"Master, shall I prepare the carriage?" The old butler who had been standing at the side asked respectfully.
"Go ahead."

Gateway Tower, 8th floor.
Xinghe Real Estate Company.
"Big Light, how have you been recently?”Song Tianyao asked with a smile as he sat in the boss's chair.
"Brother Yao, Old Deng and the others are very capable. They trained the people they recruited very well.”Big Light said truthfully.
"Of course. Professional matters naturally have to be handed over to professional people. What you need to learn is planning.”
Song Tianyao tapped the pen in his hand and asked,"How have you been learning from Manager Xu recently? How do you feel?"
"You've learned quite a lot.”Big Light nodded and tugged at the flowery tie around his neck."It's just that this suit is not too comfortable to wear. It's a little tight and not as comfortable as a vest.”
"You're no longer a gangster. You don't have to go on stage personally. In the future, you'll be dealing with businessmen. Sooner or later, you'll have to adapt." Song Tianyao lectured.
"I know, Brother Yao. I'm just complaining.”Big Light scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Didn't you say before that you couldn't be the vice president? Aren't you doing quite well now? Take it slow.”Song Tianyao said patiently.
Looking at Big Light's actions, he frowned and said,"Also, don't scratch your head like this in the future.”
"Ah, I couldn't help it. I couldn't help it.”Big Light was a little confused.
Song Tianyao lectured him." Then change it. You're now the vice president of a security company. In the future, when you talk about business with others, you'll be scratching your head. How could she be trusted like a child?”
"If you don't know how to do it, then it depends on what others do. If not, don't show any expression. It's a bodyguard company after all. It's normal to be a little colder.”
"I understand. I'll change." Da Hua immediately said with a straight face.
"No, act more naturally. Don't act like a lousy actor. I can tell at a glance that you're pretending.”Song Tianyao teased with a smile.
Big Light rubbed his face and stared at him."Brother Yao, how about this?"
"What are you staring at? Hack people? Naturally, do you understand? Have you seen the movie? It was a relaxed state. Just don't laugh and don't do childish little things.”Song Tianyao said unhappily.
"Understood!" Big Light nodded and lay back on the sofa. He placed his hand on his lap and said,"How about this?"
"It's alright. It's a little like this." Song Tianyao smiled in satisfaction and continued,"Alright, take your time to learn. You don't have to pretend here.”
Big Light chuckled and collapsed on the sofa.
"You're not proper." Song Tianyao shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.
"Ding, ding, ding ~"
"What is it?"
