Becoming a Big Shot in 1970S Hong Kong

Going exclusive on May 18 (I) After Lin Hui died unexpectedly, she opened her eyes again and had transmigrated to China in the 1970s. From the start, her parents were arranging a marriage for her. There was no way she was getting married. She couldn't take them on, but she could run away! She did everything she could to escape to Hong Kong, where she unexpectedly ended up with a gang of underlings. Hong Kong was now one of Asia's Four Little Dragons, full of business opportunities. At this point in time, the famous Hong Kong bosses of her previous life hadn't made their fortunes yet, so hitching her wagon to one of them was out of the question. Of course she'd take the path of a big shot and leave the big shots with nowhere to go. Why be a big shot's woman when being a big shot herself was so much better? Lin Hui built a clothing factory, opened a shopping mall, made movies, invested in real estate projects... Gradually, she created a business empire of her own. Years later, Lin Hui had become a famous patriotic entrepreneur and a role model for girls in Hong Kong. She'd risen from being a street tough to the pinnacle of success. Reporters asked Lin Hui for the secret to her success. Lin Hui said there was no secret. Don't be afraid, just get it done. (II) In just three years, Wen Nanxing went from an unknown stunt double to a Hong Kong action star. Every time he went onstage to accept an award, he would say, "Thank you, fans, for being with me!" The media all thought he knew how to be grateful, until one day they caught him strolling hand in hand with Lin Hui. Wen Nanxing: "Let me introduce you. This is my fan." Reader's note: The female lead is not a good person. This is an alternate-universe Hong Kong, so please don't nitpick the details. … Coming soon, please add to your collection … [I] After Li Zelan died, she transmigrated into a period romance novel about a pampered wife, as a minor character. Her parents were both dead, and her only relative was her paternal aunt, who lived in a courtyard house and was the male lead's adoptive mother. She looked at her new home, which seemed ready to collapse in a strong wind, then at the well-dressed male lead. She thought she could still turn things around! The male lead's adoptive mother took Li Zelan by the hand and introduced her. "This is your..." The male lead: "I already have someone I like." His adoptive mother continued expressionlessly, "...sister." The male lead stared at Li Zelan in shock. "I thought you wanted me, but it turns out you wanted my family's property!" Li Zelan: "I'm not here to break up this family. I'm here to join it." [II] Deputy Factory Manager Li dreamed of surpassing Factory Manager Wen, but Wen always kept him in second place. Then he met his adopted daughter, Li Zelan. Not only was Factory Manager Wen left in the dust, but so was Li. In the end, even the steel mill couldn't escape... At first, when people mentioned the Red Star Steel Mill, the first thing that came to mind was that it was a huge factory employing tens of thousands. Later, when people mentioned the Red Star Steel Mill, the first thing that came to mind was how well they raised chickens and how delicious the meat was. Later still, when people mentioned the Red Star Steel Mill, the first thing that came to mind was that this was where the White Feather Chicken Company had grown from the ground up. Li Zelan looked at the chickens clucking behind her. "This is the empire I've built!" She successfully turned a chicken farm with only a few people into a large operation employing tens of thousands, and went from being a workshop worker to the head of the chicken farm. [III] Wen Ling was a bit of a blockhead. After meeting Li Zelan, he became hopelessly lovestruck... Theme: Women should stand on their own
