"The God of Wealth Arrives (Entertainment Industry)" by Gong Qinghan [Completed]

Synopsis: Of the three thousand paths of the Great Dao, one leads to enlightenment through wealth.

Cai Jinbai cultivated wealth aura and came to a small world to gather merit and achieve complete fulfillment.

With his keen eye and penetrating insight, he could see the financial fortunes above people's heads, divided into proper wealth, windfall wealth, and ill-gotten wealth.

All he needed to do was guide people with proper wealth onto the road to success: people whose financial fortunes were at a low ebb and whose lives had hit rock bottom, yet who possessed exceptional character and kind hearts. By saving them and changing their destinies, he could accumulate merit through the impact they made.

And so, Cai Jinbai chose:

Children in impoverished mountain regions who could not afford school.

Brilliant directors who lacked funding and had to humble themselves everywhere they went to seek sponsors.

Screenwriters who were relentlessly suppressed, denied a voice, falsely accused of plagiarism, and left with nowhere to turn.

A washed-up award-winning actor who loved acting but could no longer find work.

Actors whose careers had been frozen because they refused to get ahead through underhanded means.

And traditional crafts and other cultural legacies, preserved for a lifetime yet neglected and on the verge of dying out.

They all possessed proper wealth, yet their lives were fraught with hardship.

Cai Jinbai: Don't be afraid. Your real God of Wealth is here.

Money might not solve everything, but without it, nothing could be done.

[Bonus scene:]

During an interview one day-

Reporter: "President Cai, when did you and Vice President Xuan first meet?"

Cai Jinbai: "Oh, that story starts back when I was a little beggar wandering from place to place, unsure whether I'd survive the next day, with barely enough food to eat or clothes to cover myself. A pitiful little pitch-black snake that was about to freeze to death staged an accident to latch onto me..."

[Wealth-path cultivator, genius artifact craftsman, money lover, but a principled God of Wealth who only likes proper wealth, bottom × domineering, cool, handsome, and outrageously arrogant Dragon God who obeys only his bottom, top]

Chapter 1

In recent years, S City had been steadily advancing construction of its New Urban District. In the near future, this area would replace the old district as the city's new flourishing center of commerce and trade. It was the top priority of the new development initiative and would also serve as a national benchmark for similar projects.

So when land in the New Urban District went on sale three years earlier, countless wealthy investors had flocked to bid, all hoping to claim a share of the profits or seize the top spot.

Especially when it came to the thirty-eight-story office tower in the heart of the New Urban District's commercial center.

The building occupied an exceptional location and would become the defining landmark of S City's New Urban District-a symbol of the city itself.

In the future, whenever anyone mentioned S City or the New Urban District, this office tower would be the first thing that came to mind. Like the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, and the Statue of Liberty abroad, or Tiananmen and the Oriental Pearl Tower at home, its name alone would evoke the city where it stood.

This was a vast, unnamed new frontier waiting to be developed.

Everyone wanted to put the name of their own company or business atop that central landmark.

It would be the most lasting, far-reaching form of publicity-a small investment with enormous returns.

And so they fought over it like sharks scenting blood. The bidding was fierce, and the business world became a battlefield thick with gun smoke.

But there was only one landmark, and the big fish always ate the little fish. Amid the invisible clash of blades, the final outcome of the contest between all those parties was this: a mysterious wealthy man from overseas had won the bid for the office tower's site.

Not only had he purchased the entire building, but he had also bought the surrounding land, paying the full amount in one go.

The price, it had to be said, was astronomical.

It was easy to imagine just how much cash this mysterious tycoon had at his disposal, how formidable his financial resources were, and how staggering his assets must be.

Plenty of people tried to uncover his identity, but after all their inquiries, they learned only the name of the assistant who had handled the entire bidding process. The wealthy man himself had never appeared in person; every related matter had been entrusted entirely to that assistant.

Who knew what all those wealthy executives, who had racked their brains, exhausted every strategy, and lost sleep night after night, would think when they heard?

They had poured everything into the bidding, only for the winner not even to show his face. The comparison was downright infuriating.

As an excellent administrative agent, Kong Da was now accompanying that assistant to the airport to pick up his employer.

The assistant had handled all the paperwork up to that point. Even when important documents required the man's personal signature, the mysterious tycoon had never come to Huaguo. Either a private plane carried the documents over and back, or they signed online. In short, he had no fear of inconvenience or of wasting time and money. He was wealthy enough not to care.

Only after Kong Da arranged another property purchase for him in S City did the mysterious tycoon decide to come to Huaguo.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble lately, Mr. Kong," Yuan Guangjin said in the car. "I don't know anyone or my way around S City, so your help and advice have been invaluable."

Driving, Kong Da smiled. "You're too kind, Mr. Yuan. I'm fortunate to have the chance to become friends with you, too."

And fortunate he was. Yuan Guangjin might only be an assistant, but the mysterious tycoon overseas had entrusted this enormous project to him, which showed how much he trusted and relied on him. Perhaps his position would rise even further in the future. Even without a promotion or a raise, he would certainly have considerable influence.

Connections mattered most in their line of work. Being on good terms with Yuan Guangjin was unquestionably a gain for Kong Da.

Although the assignment had taken quite some time, the payment and the extra cash gifts of thanks were enough to leave Kong Da beaming. How generous, he thought, growing even more curious about the mysterious tycoon behind Yuan Guangjin.

So the moment he heard the man was coming to Huaguo, Kong Da had eagerly volunteered to help pick him up at the airport and take them to see the house afterward.

Once they arrived at the airport, Kong Da waited expectantly.

What would this mysterious tycoon look like? How old was he?

In his imagination, the man certainly could not be young. After all, he had secured the landmark tower in S City's New Urban District, navigating the business world with ease, sharp judgment, and such masterful tactics that he could orchestrate everything from overseas. None of that suggested someone young. Was he middle-aged? Or still vigorous in his old age?

As Kong Da pondered this, he heard Yuan Guangjin say, "My employer is here!"

The assistant was usually composed, never letting his emotions show. He handled everything calmly and effortlessly. Despite his youth, he seemed like a seasoned business veteran, polished and capable, giving others nothing to fault.

Now, however, there was unmistakable delight in his voice, and even his expression held joy and anticipation.

No wonder he's a trusted assistant, Kong Da thought. How else would he have landed that position? Look at him-his boss isn't even in front of us yet, and he's already putting on a show.

But where was his employer? Where?

Kong Da craned his neck toward the airport exit.

"That's my employer." Yuan Guangjin raised an arm to point, then hurried forward.

Kong Da followed the direction of his finger. Oh, that-that one?!

When he saw the figure clearly, his eyes widened involuntarily.

S City's airport bustled with activity, an endless stream of people passing beneath its immense structure. At the exit on the sunny side, passengers emerged in an unbroken flow, yet Kong Da spotted the man Yuan Guangjin had indicated at once.

There was no other reason: the man's appearance and bearing were simply too outstanding. He stood head and shoulders above the crowd, utterly dazzling. Once anyone's gaze settled on him, they could not bear to look away.

Quite a few people in the airport were as stunned as Kong Da.

What surprised Kong Da even more was that the mysterious tycoon behind everything was so young!

Was he even twenty-five? Probably not.

He wore an exquisitely tailored suit and had long legs, flawless features, and clear, fair skin, while his hair was the purest black. His narrow, beautiful phoenix eyes sat behind gold-rimmed glasses, lending his expression a slight air of cool reserve while making him look all the more refined, handsome, and elegant. Every movement revealed extraordinary poise, as though he were a masterpiece crafted by heaven, without a single flaw.

Without realizing it, Kong Da stared a little too long. Suddenly, a chill ran down his back and he shuddered. Someone had shot him a glare.

He instinctively looked over and saw that beside the mysterious tycoon stood another man whose looks and bearing were every bit his equal.

This man was taller and more imposing, with broad shoulders, long legs, and perfect proportions. Any less would have made him seem too thin; any more would have upset the balance. His brows and eyes were sharp, his face strikingly handsome, as though carved by a blade, but there was something dangerous and unsettling about him. He resembled a lurking black panther, seemingly languid and motionless, yet leaving no doubt about his explosive strength. Even a casual glance from him gave the impression that he could chill someone to the bone.

No, it was not just an impression. When those eyes swept over Kong Da, his calves genuinely went weak.

Good heavens, who exactly was this man?

That gaze alone marked him as anything but ordinary.

Yuan Guangjin brought them over to Kong Da.

Kong Da immediately collected himself and put on a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Cai."

Cai Jinbai extended his hand. "Hello, Mr. Kong."

"Guangjin told me everything. Thank you for all your hard work lately."

"It was no trouble at all. It's an honor to work for you, Mr. Cai. Please don't mention it," Kong Da said hastily.

Such a young tycoon, with such immense assets-if he planned to stay in Huaguo and develop his business here long-term... Well, it looks like things in S City are about to change.

Still, although he had come from overseas, his face looked entirely Huaguoan.

At any rate, Kong Da could not spot the slightest sign of foreign ancestry.

Even the attendants this tycoon had brought with him were all thoroughly Huaguoan. When in Rome?
